Economic analysis and technological evaluation of different types of bedding material in the breeding of sport horses

Namen diplomskega dela je ekonomska in tehnološka primerjava 4 različnih vrst nastilja: žagovine, slame, lesnih ostružkov, rezane slame. Raziskava zajema 2 ločena poskusa. Prvi poskus temelji na vsakodnevnem čiščenju boksa, kot je tudi najpogosteje v praksi. Drugi poskus pa temelji na vzdržljivosti nastilja. Vsak od navedenih poskusov je po modelnih kalkulacijah ovrednoten glede na stroške nastilja in stroške dela. Predstavljeni so skupni dnevni, mesečni in letni stroški kot tudi razmerje stroškov (nastilj : delo). Potrebne podatke o velikosti boksov ter višini, obsegu in dolžini konj smo pridobili z merjenjem. Prav tako smo z merjenjem pridobili podatke porabe nastilja in časa. Ugotovili smo, da vsi 4 različni materiali nastilja konjem zagotavljajo udobje, vendar ne pri enaki količini in niso vse vrste nastilja primerne za vse konje. Upoštevati moramo zdravstveno stanje konja, različne anomalije in navade konj. The aim of this work is economic and technological comparation of 4 different bedding materials: sawdust in bulk, wood shavings, squared harvest straw and slice-dusted straw. The survey covers 2 separate experiments. The first attempt is based on day-to-day slean up, it is the most often in practice. In second trial is tested the durability od the bedding maerials. Each of these experiments is evaluated according to model calculations based on material costs and labor costs. The total daily, monthly and annual costs as well as the cost ration (material:work) is presented. We obtained the necessary data of boxes size and the height, extent and lenght of horses by measuring. We also measured the time we needed to prepare boxes (cleaning, preparing bedding material). We found that all 4 bedding materials provide comfort, but not fort he same amount and not all kinds of bedding materials are suitable for all horses. We must take into account the health status of horses, the various anomalies and habits of horses.
