Hanzlíková, Kateřina
Welfare and livestock's natural behaviors in zoo. This Bachelor thesis describes and introduction into literature review, animal welfare, small ruminant's basic daily activities and brief summary of the zoo's history. The part of bachelor thesis is ethological observations of behavior in a group of small ruminants in petting zoo Zoopark, Zájezd village o.p.s. Daily activities such as feed intake (fluid intake including), defecation and urination, taxe, standing, playful behavior, social behavior, comfortable behavior, rumination standing or lying, rest and interested visitors were monitored.

The Utilization Of Goats And Sheep In Care For Landscape And Their Submission In Ogranic Farming
JIRMANNOVÁ, Kristýna
The analysis of management of sheep and goat breeding on the organic farm is the main aim of my thesis. The herd was examine at the Slunečná organic farm in the Šumava Mountains. The animals were monitored during grasing season by force of metod ethology monitoring. Sheep and goats were monitored and it was done four times for always 24 hours during a grazing period. The method of the direct monitoring was used and the base categories of the behaviour (food intaking, lying, standing and moving) were written down by an interval method - the interval took 10 minutes. The comfortable, mother's, social and sexual behaviour were writen down as well. Gained data from single sighting was expressed absolute and percentage share form total tables and graphs. The results were interpreted on the basis of the study of special literature and legislation about organic farming and animal ethology. The way of sheep and goats farming was according to an inborn biorhythm and gave the animal free and natural ways of behaviour. The physiological and ethological needs of animals are satisfactory. Sheep and goats have the possibility to graze freely on pastures and they effect positively on the landscape management. They keep grasslands without woody plants and weeds.
Cryptosporidiosis of small ruminants
UHLÍŘOVÁ, Barbora Isatou
Cryptosporidium (Apicomplexa: Eucoccidiorida: Cryprosporiidae) is a ubiquitous entero-pathogen and has been reported in many geographical regions of the world. Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic protozoan disease of worldwide distribution, affecting a wide range of vertebrate hosts. The parasite is recognised as one of the most common causes of diarrhoea in humans and farm animals. There are 23 valid species of Cryptosporidium so far and over 60 genotypes with no species names have been described. Cryptosporidial infection of livestock may have an important economic impact on farmers because of high morbidity and mortality rates among animals. The present study is undertaken to describe problem of cryptosporidiosis of sheep and goats.
