The aim of this study was to determine how resting behavior is affected by time of day, temperature and seasons in cattle at the pasture. The experiment took place from spring to autumn, on a farm in the village of Bystřice and its surroundings. The herd was always monitored for 10h and individual expressions of life were recorded every 15 min. At the same time, temperature was measured in the interval of 30 minutes. With Charolais cattle were monitored frequencies of lying/standing and preferential behavior of cattle while resting such as preference of left or right side of the body and the choice between sunny or shady place for lying/standing. Time of day especially had an influence on the choice between lying in the sun or shade. Animals during the morning hours prefer lying in the sun, after 13 h herd opted shadow. Regarding temperature, there was mainly influenced preferential behavior, in terms of choosing a place to rest. With increasing temperature, animals statistically significantly preferred a shady place to lie down. On the contrary, it was evident that at colder temperatures animals liked to lying down on the sun. The ratio of lying and standing animals was slightly influenced by temperature and animals were mostly lying more than standing. Seasons influenced both the selection of places to rest as well as the ratio of standing and lying animals. Bigger amount of the animals were recorded standing at spring. In contrast, in the summer and fall, herd was lying more often. In spring and autumn, animals preferred lying in the sun and in the summer herd preferred lying down in the shade. There were also monitored other vital signs, such as movement, food intake, water intake, urination and defecation, comfortable and social behavior.

The rejective behaviour of mares to their foals occurs relatively rare in breeding. According to the available literature, there is the evidence of this behaviour between 2 to 5 % of cases. In practice, it complicates the life of the foal, mare and breeder. According to available records, there are several forms of rejecting behavior. They have a different ways of preventing and resolving the situation. As a result of the mare's rejective behavior can be the need of human assistance with a care of the foal. In extreme cases, the behavior of the mare can result in orphanshood of the foal. Within the informations from breeders in Czech Republic, the rejective behaviour was manifested in 15 of 344 (4,36 %) of mares. This group was consisted of mares of different ages and breeds. In total these mares gave birth to 48 foals. Twenty of these foals were partly rejected by their mothers. Only 1 foal died. Two foals were not accepted by their mothers after the assistance of breeder which was necessary and these foals had to be bred by human. The most frequent manifestations is unwillingness of nursing the foal. This behaviour occurred in 13 mares. The mare normally tries to protect her foal from various environmental influences. However, in two mares this behavior was not observed. Other form of rejective behaviour is the fearfulness of mare caused by the presence of the foal. This behaviour was manifested in 20 % of them. Two mares were trying to avoid the contact with their foals. In 46,67 % of cases were demonstrated vocalization of mares to their foals. There was the evidence of 3 cases of chasing foals by their mothers. Threat manifestations are made by effort of biting (7) and kicking (4). Two mares did not sniff their foals, another mare did not show interest in licking of the foal. Both of these activities are very important in forming of social bond between mare and foal. Mares rejected the most often their foals at the age of 4 years. The rejection occurred in both primarous and also multiparous mares. Despite the fact that multiparous mares already have an experiences of parturition and maternity care of offspring.

Cieľom práce je analýza spotrebného chovania v Brazílii, s ohľadom na kultúrne, ekonomické, demografické a sociálne rozdiely v spoločnosti a poukázanie na niektoré inovatívne prístupy aplikované miestnymi spoločnosťami, ktoré by mohli slúžiť aj ako príklad v podmienkach Českej alebo Slovenskej republiky. Špeciálna pozornosť je venovaná spotrebnému chovaniu nižšej sociálnej triedy. Cieľom je poukázať na to, že tento tržný segment predstavuje perspektívny trh a je nástrojom rastu, po ktorom bude musieť siahať čoraz viacej medzinárodných spoločností v snahe nestratiť konkurencieschopnosť.
