Abstract

U ovom diplomskom radu istražene su najznačajnije populacije konja u divljini na
globalnoj razini, njihova sposobnost preživljavanja i rasplođivanja, te samoodrživost populacije.
Opisani su obrasci ponašanja kobila i pastuha za vrijeme sezone parenja i struktura krda. Ukazane
su osobitosti fiziologije i biologije rasplođivanja konja u divjini i veliki potencijal redovnog
godišnjeg povećanja broja populacije. Opisane su metode praćenja i kontrole rasploda divljih
konja, kako bi se osigurala održivost populacije i njena zaštita, metodika odabira najučinkovitijih
kontracepcijskih metoda, njihova reverzibilnost, nuspojave i utjecaj na ponašanje. Poseban
naglasak stavljen je na divlje konje s visoravni Kruzi, njihovo stanište, opis populacije i probleme
s kojima se susreću. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na važnost praćenja i kontrolu rasploda, te
upravljanja populacijom divljih konja kako bi se spriječili problemi koji nastaju s prekomjernim
brojem divljih konja na visoravni Kruzi. Kao zaključak ovog istaživanja predložene su mjere
koje su potencijalno riješenje nastalih problema, na obostranu korist i dobrobit.

Abstract (english)

This thesis explores the most significant wild horse populations globally, their ability to
survive and reproduce, as well as their population self-sustainability. The behavior patterns of
mares and stallions during the breeding season and the herd structure are described. The spescific
features of the physiology and biology of wild horse reproduction and high potential for annual
population growth are highlihted. Methods of monitoring and control wild horse reproduction are
outlined to ensure population sustainability and protection, including the methodology for
selecting the most effective contraceptive methods, their reversibility, side effects, and impact on
behavior. Special emphasis is placed on the wild horses of the Kruzi plateau, their habitat, a
description of the population, and the challenges they face. The research results highlight the
importance of monitoring and controlling reproduction and managing wild horse population to
prevent issues arising from the overpopulation of wild horses on the Kruzi plateau. As a
conclusion to this research, measures are proposed that offer potential solutions to these
problems, benefiting both the population and overall welfare.
