Abstract

Znano je, da se v rejah krav molznic pojavljajo težave z dobrim počutjem živali, še zlasti so pogoste kritike vezane reje krav molznic, pri čemer živalim ni omogočeno prosto gibanje, zaradi česar je omejeno izražanje naravnega obnašanja. V Sloveniji je vezana reja krav molznic prisotna na 65–70 % kmetij z mlečno proizvodnjo. Cilj diplomskega dela je bil preveriti stopnjo dobrega počutja krav molznic v vezani reji v primerjavi s prosto rejo. V raziskavo smo vključili pet kmetij z vezano in pet kmetij s prosto rejo krav molznic različnih velikosti (devet do 62 krav molznic) z območja SV Slovenije. Dobro počutje krav molznic smo ocenjevali s protokolom Welfare Monitor, ki je skrajšana različica protokola Welfare Quality®, s katerim ocenimo ustreznost krmljenja, nastanitve (bivalnih pogojev), zdravstvenega stanja in obnašanja živali. Glede na rezultate ne moremo potrditi izključne prednosti enega načina reje. V prosti reji so se kot ugodnejši izkazali bivanjski pogoji, delno tudi zdravstveno stanje (manj bolezni), po drugi strani smo v vezani reji ugotovili manj poškodb, prav tako se v manjši meri izvajajo rejski ukrepi, ki živalim povzročajo bolečine (odstranjevanje rogov). V obeh sistemih reje obstajajo številne možnosti izboljšav, ki vodijo v izboljšanje stanja počutja krav molznic. Za zagotavljanje dobrega počutja živali je ključnega pomena tudi rejski vidik (skrbnost rejca).

Secondary title: Comparison of welfare indicators in tie- and free-stall housing of dairy cows d
Secondary abstract: Problems related to animal welfare on dairy cow farms are well known. Especially tie-stall farms are often criticised, where the animals are not allowed to move freely and consequently the expression of their natural behaviour is limited. In Slovenia, tie-stall rearing of dairy cows is present on 65-70% of farms with milk production. The aim of the present study was to compare the level of welfare of dairy cows in tie-stall and free-stall rearing. The research included five tie-stall and five free-stall dairy cow farms of different sizes (9‒62 dairy cows) from North-Eastern Slovenia. The welfare of dairy cows was evaluated using the Welfare Monitor protocol, which is a shortened version of the Welfare Quality® protocol, which is used to assess feeding, housing, health status and animal behaviour. Based on the results, we cannot confirm the exclusive advantage of one breeding method. There was more appropriate housing and partly health status (less diseases). On the other hand, there were fewer injuries and a smaller extent of painful breeding measures (e.g. dehorning) in tie-stall rearing. In both studied systems, there are several possibilities for improvements that could improve the welfare of dairy cows. Breeder aspect (care of the animals) is also crucial to ensure the welfare of the animals.
