Abstrakt

Celem badań była ocena wpływu socjalizacji z człowiekiem na możliwość przeprowadzenia testów oceniających rozwiązywanie problemów u owiec. Badania przeprowadzono na 30 owcach rasy świniarka, w wieku od 2 do 8 lat. Owce utrzymywano w systemie alkierzowo-pastwiskowym. Obserwacje obejmowały 3 próby, w trzech kolejnych dniach dla każdej owcy. Analizowano zachowania owiec podczas przebywania w arenie testowej: eksploracja i podejście do znajdujących się elementów wyposażenia. Eksperyment przeprowadzono na grupach owiec o niskim (G1) i wysokim (G2) stopniu socjalizacji. Badanie wykazało, że środowisko testowe stanowiło duże wyzwanie dla owiec z grupy G1, dlatego nie były w stanie ukończyć zadania z sukcesem.
