The thesis "The Differences in Cows' Relaxation Behaviour of the Czech Pied Cattle Breed and Selected Charolais Breed" is focused mainly on the period of standing and lie down. As for both breeds' lie down a left and right side preference is studied. Standing is divided according to two aspects -- period of standing and standing-eating. The observation was performed on a farm "ZePo, a.s. Libchavy" in November 2014 and was proceeding in two phases. The observation took place in three stables, specifically in a binding stable for cows of Czech Pied cattle breed, free hutch stables for cows of Charolais breed and free hutch stables for dairy-cows. From the full number of cows, in the stables, the group of 20 cows was selected, with the average milk yield of about 24 kilograms and in 150 lactation days. Among monitored factors influencing the cows' behaviour the following ones were chosen: breed and technology of stabling. Concerning the influence of breed on standing highly significant matches were found (p0, 05). Due to the stabling technology there were not differences in the standing and standing-eating, the result was statistically highly significant (p0,05). |
