濟州馬 씨수말의 放牧地 行動 Pattern에 관한 調査 硏究

Abstract

This study was made for helping to understand of the behaviour of the horse from Jeju by fundamental research of the horse of Jeju and its behaviors because domestic leisure businesses and the horse affair business which is one of the tourism business of Jeju will be developed, hence I concluded that the study of the horse of Jeju ,one of the domestic pure breeds, will be focused. I divided the well known behaviors of it into 4 groups that are maintenance acts such as eating, drinking, urination and excretion, sexual acts such as flehmen, caress, attempts of mating and mating, relaxation acts while it is standing and sitting and moving acts. The duration of the study was from April to December in 2006 and January to July in 2007. And the research of behaviors was done in a pen in (Provincial Livestock Institute) from April to November in 2006 and another research was made in a grazing land governed by Provincial Livestock Institute in a grazing land from April to July in 2007. In using SPSS 12.0, a statistic program, I made data on the time of each type of behaviours of IN(Individual Number) 1-23 in 2006, IN 1-30 in 2007 based on the behavior style. To compare them and see whether there's any differences between them, I tried technical statistics and t-test. Considering the eating act among the maintenance acts, we can see that frequency of IN 1-23's eating act had been decreased about 29 to 8 from April to July which is a breeding season and same in August. The average time of it was shorten 234 to 142 seconds. From September to November that is after the breeding season, the frequency was increased to 45 and the average time was also increased from 200 to 413 seconds. The two horses drank water twice a day and for IN 1-30, the average time of drinking in January to March when before being in a grazing land was longer than it in April to July when it was in a grazing land. While for IN 1-23, it was decreased from 150seconds in April to 8seconds in June and in July it was increased again to 54 seconds then, it was changed to 13 and 40 seconds. The excretion act among the maintenance acts was done twice a day for 10 seconds same as the urination act. In relaxation acts during standing, IN 1-23 showed fairly even frequency, 55 times through out the whole year and the average time of it in April to July, the breeding season ,was decreased to about 70 seconds compared to it in August to in November that is 120 seconds. For IN 1-30, the frequency from January to March was 27 times and it was increased from April to July to 73 times. And the average time of it was decreased from 250 seconds, that was from January to March to 130 seconds, that was from April to July. The relaxation acts during sitting were happened 2 or 3 times to both 2 horses and it had a big difference between them. For moving acts, IN 1-23 showed over 40 times of it from April to July. And it became decreased in August to about 40 times and from September to November to about 30 times. The average time of it were about 200 seconds from April to August but from September to November, it moved about 55 seconds. For IN 1-30, moving acts were increased from 25 times that was from January to March to 40 times that was from April to July. For sexual acts, the frequency of the attempt act of the horse in 2006 were 12 times in April, 9.5times in May, 2.5times in June and 4.5 times in July. We could see that it was slightly increased from June to July. And the average time were 31 seconds in April, 34 seconds in May, 78 seconds in June and 39 seconds in July. The frequency and time of it in August were decreased to just once and 10 seconds. In 2007, the frequency of it was 11 times in April, 14 times in May, 11 times in June and 6 times in July. The average time of it were 92 seconds from April to May and 76 seconds from June to July. I could see that the mating was done once a day and the average time of it were about 10.40 seconds for one in IN 1-23. Flehmen was done 25 times from April to May when the horses begin sexual excitement in IN 1-23, 7 times in each June and July and only 4 times in November. In IN 1-30, flehmen was done from 11 to 18 times in April and May when the horses begin sexual excitement while it was decreased to 10 times in June and July. In February and March when were before starting sexual excitement, it was done only once to 2.5 times. There wasn't any differences between the two horses from Jeju in terms of the behaviours in a grazing land. I really hope that my study can help to developing the horse affair of Jeju even though it is not enough to understand all about horse behaviours.
