Pastva malých přežvýkavců v chráněných oblastech
Škatulárová, Jana
The final thesis is focused on the issue of using small ruminants (sheep and goats) for grazing in protected landscapes. It is part of long term research on the influence of small ruminant grazing on the NNR Mohelno Serpentine Steppe, which in the 2022 includes the methodology of ethological observation of a flock of sheep on a pasture and sampling of grazed and ungrazed vegetation. Ethological observation took place on 27. 5. (plot no. 2), 5. 6. (plot no. 3) and 29. 6. (plot no. 5). Four activities were monitored from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. in 10 minute intervals (lying down, standing, walking, grazing). On the first day of monitoring, the sheep were mainly engaged in grazing (42,98 %), on the second day lying down (39,95 %), on the third day lying down again (33,02 %). The busiest locations were squares with shading objects. The results of ethological observation and sampling of grazed and ungrazed vegetation can help to achieve optimal management of the NNR Mohelno Serpentine Steppe, which will contribute to the preservation of its typical character with the support of local protected plants and animals.

The diploma thesis Evaluation of Sheep Grazing Management in Protected Areas deals with the use of grazing for sheep nutrition, sheep ethology, especially the influences that affect grazing behavior, and the use of grazing in the maintenance of vegetation in the National Nature Reserve of Mohelno Serpentinite Steppe. The 2018 grazing season in the National Nature Reserve of Mohelno Serpentinite Steppe took place from 23rd April to 25th May 2018 and three ethological observations were taken during this grazing season. On 9th, 17th and 21st May, the activities of the herd were recorded – namely lying, standing, walking and grazing. On the first observed day (May 9), the activities were represented in the ratio: grazing 37.50%, walking 12.35%, standing 5.81% and lying 44.34%. On the second day of observation (May 17), grazing took up 39.15% of the total observation time, walking 12.27%, standing 18.95% and lying 29.62%. On the last day of observation (May 21), the ratios of daily activities were: grazing 34.07%, walking 10.25%, standing 9.37% and lying 46.31%. Activities were also recorded depending on the grazing area, and the effect of air temperature on sheep behavior was investigated. The results are processed in charts and graphs in the appendix.

Pastva ovcí v chráněných oblastech
Kaláčková, Petra
Subject of this thesis is Sheep farming in protected areas. Goal of the work is to evaluate pasture management in Mohelno serpentine steppe National Nature Reserve. In this area we conducted ethological observations of sheep herd during two days at the end of May and during eight days in June. Also, samples of pasture crop were collected before the start of grazing and after its ending. Ethological observations were performed in ten-minute intervals. We observed daily activities of the sheep with focus on grazing (19.01 % to 43.58 %), walking (2.92 % to 10.92 %), standing (2.23 % to 16.87 %) and resting (38.29 % to 64.16 %). Gathered data were organized into ethogram, spreadsheet tables, graphs and maps.
