The aim of this diploma thesis was evaluating the influence of temperature of the air on the behaviour of Holstein calves in individual outdoor calf hutches. The experimental part of this thesis has been performed on university's dairy facility Žabčice. Among the analyzed behavioural manifestations were included especially the time spent lying down or standing, outside or inside the hutch. Impact of bodyweight, age, treated or untreated bedding on calves' vital signs were also evaluated. When evaluating the time spent lying down, the laterality was taken into account. In the context of obtained results it can be said that the temperature is important factor, when evaluating its effect on Holstein cal-ves behaviour in invididual hutches. But more important factor affecting calves behavior is their weight and age.
