A produção de frangos de corte concentra-se em sistema de integração, onde ocorre uma troca de informações e difusão de novas tecnologias, entre empresa e produtor rural com maior facilidade. No Brasil, a avicultura encontra-se com bom status sanitário, esta condição porporciona ao país conquista e manutenção de mercados consumidores externos. O mercado consumidor, cada vez mais informado torna-se mais exigente. Destaca-se a procura por produtos rastreados, com características de respeito ambiental, social, condutas de bem-estar animal e produção em sistemas que visem a economia energética. A produção de frangos de corte acontece em ambientes confinados e controlados. Respeitar o controle ambiental em cada fase de criação é um dos pontos para garantir o bem-estar animal, por oferecer condições onde o animal possa responder com bom desempenho, ao que geneticamente é selecionado. Em relação ao confinamento dos animais, estão sendo estudadas algumas alternativas para diminuir as situações de estresse e favorecer maior expressão de comportamentos naturais da espécie. A movimentação das aves é quase nula, pois, as instalações oferecem alimento e água com fácil acesso. A utilização de poleiros em sistemas comerciais oferece algo que naturalmente as aves fazem em seu habitat: empoleirar, além de proporcionar oportunidade para maior movimentação. A falta de movimentação pode pode prejudicar o desenvolvimento do sistema locomotor, ocasionando desvios das pernas com dificuldade de locomoção, menor consumo de alimento e posterior morte das aves. Os prejuízos seguem na indústria com as lesões da pata, pernas e carcaças. Neste contexto o objetivo geral deste trabalho é contribuir para o conhecimento de bem-estar e abordar a utilização de enriquecimento ambiental em escala comercial. / The production of broilers focuses on system integration, where there is an exchange of information and diffusion of new technologies, between business and farmers with greater ease. In Brazil, the poultry industry is in good health status, unlike other regions of the world. This condition provide the country achievement and maintenance of external consumer markets. The agility in communication and information exchange prepares each day more the consumer market, that becomes more demanding. The main demand still is the product price, but a growing consumer market is looking for food with higher added value. In this context we can highlight the demand for screened products, with characteristics of environmental respect, social respect, animal welfare manners and production systems for energy saving. The broilers happens production is confined and controlled environments. Respect the environmental control in each phase is one of the points to ensure animal welfare, by providing conditions where the animal can respond with good performance, what it is genetically selected. Regarding the confinement of animals are being studied some alternatives to reduce stressful situations almost nil, because the equipment offer food and water easy. The use of perches in trading systems offers something that naturally the birds can do in their habitat: perch, and provide opportunity for greater movement. The lack of movement can hinder the development of locomotor system, causing deviations of the legs with limited mobility, lower feed intake and subsequent death of the birds. The following losses in the industry with footpad injuries, legs and carcasses. In this context the objective of this study is to contribute to the knowledge welfare and address the use of environmental enrichment on a commercial scale.

Chronic disorders of the locomotion organs belong to serious civilization diseases deteriorating the quality of human life. Medical literature generally accepts the opinion that the way of life is responsible for 50 % of our physical condition. Healthy lifestyle requires that we move regularly. Perceived as a kind of physical exercise, locomotion activities are expected to meet certain criteria - they should be attractive, easy to do, time unlimited, not expensive, and generally available. These criteria seem to be satisfied by what is known as Nordic Walking, an activity recently much promoted. This diploma paper uses a sample of 43 patients / clients suffering locomotion problems to evaluate the effect that Nordic Walking, as applied at the Rehabilitation Spa Sanatorium at Vráž, may have on the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), and it assesses the NW for its suitability of inclusion into the spa treatment as a part of group physical exercises. The sample of respondents comprised Czech patients having completed full spa treatment no shorter than 21 days, and German clients of the Spa, who paid for 3-week treatments between 1 July 2007 to 30 November 2007. The practical section of the paper relied on a quantitative method applied through the questionnaire technique, specifically the SF-36 HRQoL Questionnaire and the EDUTOOL Questionnaire. The SF-36 Questionnaire was used to investigate the health-related quality of life in eight principle areas, namely the physical functions; physical limitation of roles; emotional limitation of role; physical and emotional limitation of social functions; pain; mental health; vitality; and overall perception of the state of own health. The ninth area of investigation, employed primarily for internal supervision, rested in the changes of own health. The EDUTOOL Questionnaire (its balneology version designed to assess the basic nutritious, regimen and movement habits) was used to review the results of the educational interventions into the health & social sphere, and specify the period of their effectiveness after the balneology procedures were completed. The paper identified the procedure of Nordic Walking as an activity fit to be incorporated into the spa treatment, and proved it to be capable of improving the health-related quality of the patients' lives. Hypotheses formulated: a) Nordic Walking will enhance the health-related quality of life - confirmed b) The results will depend on proper observance of instructions and consistent application of stereotypes and habits instilled by the education - confirmed c) The German-speaking clients will be more consistent in the application of what they were taught than the Czech-speaking patients - confirmed The diploma paper can be a useful tool of social education suitable to enhance the awareness of this topic.
