Abstract

Netipični oblici ponašanja goveda rezultat su narušene dobrobit, i to najčešće kao posljedica
neodgovarajuće hranidbe i smještaja gdje životinje ne mogu izraziti ponašanje specifično za
vrstu. Smatra se da je dobrobit jedinke ugrožena ako provodi netipične i stereotipne oblike
ponašanja više od 10% svog budnog vremena Primjeri netipičnih ponašanja uključuju
međusobno sisanje u teladi koje se pojavljuje u teladi jer ne mogu zadovoljiti prirodni nagon
za sisanje te to nastoje nadomjestiti sisanjem dijelova tijela (skrotum, uši, pupak) drugih
članova stada. U mliječnih krava je zabilježeno netipično ponašanje u vidu sisanja vlastitih
sisa ili sisanja drugih krava. Najčešći oblici stereotipnih ponašanja u goveda uključuju igranje
jezikom, kolutanje očima, klimanje glavom i griženje prečki ograda. Pored toga, može se u
goveda uočiti i druge netipične oblike ponašanja povezane s hranidbenim nedostatcima
(lizanje i jedenje neživih predmeta, pijenje mokraće) ili reproduktivnim poremećajima (tiho
gonjenje, nimfomanija, loš libido i odbacivanje teleta). Potrebno je pravovremeno
prepoznati netipične i stereotipne oblike ponašanja, otkriti uzroke i primijeniti odgovarajuće
tretmane koji je svesti pojavnost ovih ponašanja na najmanju moguću mjeru.

Abstract (english)

Atypical forms of cattle behavior are the result of impaired well‐being, most often as a result
of inadequate feeding and housing where the animals cannot express behavior specific for
the species. An individual's well‐being is considered to be at risk if animal spends more than
10% of waking time in atypical and stereotyped forms of behavior. Examples of atypical
behaviors include cross‐sucking of the body parts that occurs because calves cannot satisfy
the natural urge to suck and they try to replace it by sucking body parts (scrotum, ears,
navel) of other herd members. In dairy cows, atypical behavior was recorded in the form of
sucking their own teats or sucking other cows. The most common forms of stereotyped
behavior in cattle include tongue playing, eye rolling, head nodding, and biting fence. In
addition, other atypical forms of behavior associated with nutritional deficiencies (licking
and eating inanimate objects, drinking urine) or reproductvie disorders (silent chasing,
nymphomania, poor libido and rejection of calves) can be observed in cattle. It is necessary
to recognize atypical and stereotypical forms of behavior in a timely manner, discover the
causes and apply appropriate treatments that are aware of the occurrence of these
behaviors to the lowest possible extent.
