Výskyt stereotypního chování u sledovaných koní
Marková, Lucie
The aim of the work was to observe the occurrence of stereotypic behaviour in monitored horses, identify its causes and suggest possible solutions in practice. Furthermore, the aim was to determine the possible influence of stereotypic behaviour on an individual's social status in the herd. Horses were divided into four groups: horses in intensive training, very low workload, with minimal or zero workload and horses displaying stereotypic behaviour. The influence of temperament, workload and the way the horse is stabled on the incidence of stereotypic behaviour has been demonstrated. The stereotypic behaviour was divided into three phases, according to the development, for the initial phase, the advanced phase and the chronic phase. An experiment was conducted in two horses exhibiting the early stages of stereotypic behaviour, where effort was made to prevent further development of stereotypic behaviour and it was demonstrated that stereotypic behaviour could indeed be reduced or stopped altogether in the early stages. In conclusion, it was determined that stereotypic behaviour is the way the horse deal with a stressful situation for him and the best solution is to give the horse the op-portunity and space to move freely and to exhibit natural behaviour.

Effects of microbiota composition on emergence of depressions and behavioural disorders in animals
Bartková, Nikola ; Vinkler, Michal (advisor) ; Kubovčiak, Jan (referee)
The aim of this study is to summarize the current knowledge on the influence of gut microbiota composition on behavioural disorders in selected mammals and birds. Current research focuses on the influence of gut microbiota on the development of mental illnesses in humans and the potential therapeutic use of manipulating its composition. This paper briefly summarizes the main mechanisms of microbiota influence on the development of mental illnesses. The gut microbiota may also influence the development of behavioural disorders in animals. The literature suggests that changes in gut microbiota composition in humans with mental illnesses and animals with behavioural disorders share some similarities. In general, they are related mainly to a reduced abundance of selected genera of short-chain fatty acid producing bacteria and an increased abundance of gram-negative bacteria. The exceptions are destructive behavioural disorders in animals, which are associated with increased abundance of the Clostridia class and decreased abundance of the Lactobacillus genus. To prevent their development under stress, the thesis proposes the probiotic use of Lactobacillus rhamnosus. To manipulate the composition of the gut microbiota in the treatment of depressive disorders in humans, the administration of probiotics,...

Behaviour of the Elephant ( Elephas maximus ) in ZOO Prague
Ouřadová, Petra ; Řezníček, Jan (advisor) ; Kopřivová, Kateřina (referee)
This bachelor thesis describes daily routine and elements of social behavior of Asiatic Elephants in ZOO Praha. The observation period was from summer 2011 to spring 2012. The paper starts with Proboscidea literature analysis (history, occurrence, anatomy and reproduction). In the next part behavioral aspects are analyzed. At the end a summary of the research is presented. Daily manners of Prague elephants are compared to manners of elephants living in the open. The work is focused on myths which are known among our society. Presented information is supported by interview with elephant keeper from ZOO Praha. Keywords: Indian elephant, social behavior, stereotyped behavior

Suitability of integration of individuals with pervasive developmental disorder
Vobořilová, Iveta ; Prokešová, Eva (advisor) ; Strnad, Pavel (referee)
The title: Suitability of integration of individuals with pervasive developmental disorder The aim: The aim of this thesis is to establish whether it is suitable to integrate individuals with pervasive developmental disorder into a mainstream setting Methods: To elicit the suitability of a possible inclusion of 20 children (boys and girls aged 7 to 15) with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), two sets of questions and a free interview were used. The sets of questions focused on problematic areas specific to individuals with pervasive developmental disorder, such as difficulties in communication, social interaction and imagination. A free interview supplemented the set of questions aimed at educators. Results: The results of the research showed that our sample group of children with PDD would not be suitable for integration with regard to problems with communication, social interaction and imagination. The inclusion is impossible in cases of 30% of individuals, who suffer from selective mutism. These children do not communicate nor co-operate with their educators during the lessons. However, 70% of individuals with PDD could be possibly integrated. Nevertheless, these pupils do not keep up with their non-disabled peers as for the speech content. Regarding to social interaction, the results are...

Vliv technologie chovu na životní projevy koní
Valová, Natálie
This work describes a typical expressions of horses. I compare the behaviour of horses stabled in stalls and horses who spend most of the day on pasture. The first part is devoted to basic categories of behaviours such as feeding behaviours, social expressions of horses, comfortable behaviours, locomotion of horses, relaxation and then defecation and undesirable stereotypic behaviour. With this problems related welfare, which I mention in work. I follow on division housing technology, which I compare. The second part, I propose a methodology and I do own observation, which evaluates tables and graphs. For the experiment, I chose boxing stabling and grazing. I compare the different behaviour of horses who spend nearly all day in the stable and horses who are all day on pasture and only for night, they spend in stable

Stereotype Behaviour of Horses
Škantová, Blanka ; Řezníček, Jan (advisor) ; Jančaříková, Kateřina (referee)
This thesis focuses on clearing up the concept "stereotypic behaviour of horses" describing its causes, signs and possible ways of its elimination. Next purpose was to observe group of horses by specific breeders. Data, that may have something to do with stereotypic behaviour of horses (age, sex, use of horses, type of housing etc.), were based on this observation. Stereotypic behaviour of horses is a taught behaviour, especially visible by domesticated horses. The behaviour is unnatural, repetitive and does not have specific purpose or function. There are many causes of stereotypic behavior, mainly bordom, anxiety, lack of exercise, influence of nutrition or genetic factors. Based on my own observation of 43 reared horses, 10 of them (23,26%) were behaving stereotypically. The most often type of stereotypic behaviour was weaving (3 horses), wind-sucking (3 horses) and box- wlking (2 horses). The other I have observed were raking, clacking lips, swing chain, chewing wood, aggressiveness. Followed group of horses was divided into 4 subgroups according to their use, 3 subgroups according to their type of housing and 3 supgroups according to their age. The best way of housing is pasture breeding, With this type of housing was stereorypic behaviour visible only by one followed horse. By other types of...

The analysis of selected stereotypies in horses
LISCOVÁ, Veronika
This work is aimed for the most common stereotypical behaviour of horses - cribbing and weaving. It deals not only with the description of their expression but also with detailed analysis of their duration and frequency during the day. It compares their occurrence in regard to different age, sex, breed and also type of stabling. 8 horses from 5 different places were chosen for the observation. The monitoring was performed by the direct observation and by 24-hours video recordings.
