 PŘICHYSTALOVÁ, Michala
Many species of deer family (Cervidae) are common among the inmates zoos and similar livestock farms. Center of radiation biungulates deer family was Asia, deer now inhabit all continents except Antarctica. The zoo in Brno kepts following species: Siberian deer (Cervus elaphus sibiricus) inhabit the forested areas of Southeast Asia. In the older literature is cited as subspecies of deer (Cervus elaphus), modern science provides evidence of a greater relationship with wapiti (Cervus canadensis). Pere David's deer - milu (Elaphurus davidianus), according to IUCN Red List (March 2010) extinct in the wild. Original homeland Pere David's deer was China, now survive in zoos and half-wild in Chinese reserves. The greatest representative of the family of deer is elk (Alces alces). The area of the extension occupies mainly the Nordic countries of Europe and North Asia and America. Several subspecies have been described, one of them is Moose (Alces alces alces). The aim of present work was to evaluate the environmental conditions of Siberian deer, Pere David's deer and Moose in a European zoo Brno and verify compliance with the peace breeding principles. Elements were under consideration as the herd age structure, composition of feed rations, equipment enclosure. Data were obtained from maps and engineering plans for the zoo and analysis of available materials. There are lists that register notes on animal health and veterinary interventions carried out by carers in the years 2007, 2008 and 2009. Registrations and notes show that the animals were subjected to influences that may affect their welfare. Most of these effects is necessary for the operation of the zoo and not in conflict with the principles of farming. In these lists were not found facts which would clearly prevent successful breeding of animals.
