20.500.12556/RUL-173388 Uporaba pastirskih psov za zaščito pašnih živali pred plenilci diplomsko delo The use of livestock guarding dogs to protect grazing animals from predators B. Sc. thesis Pastirski psi imajo pomembno vlogo pri varovanju pašnih živali pred plenilci. Za to nalogo morajo biti samozavestni, samostojni in umirjeni, hkrati pa dovolj poslušni in učljivi. Zaradi močnega zaščitniškega in krdelnega nagona trop dojemajo kot del svojega tropa, medtem ko je njihov plenilski nagon šibek, zato živali na pašniku ne preganjajo. S svojo prisotnostjo, označevanjem teritorija in lajanjem odvračajo plenilce ter opozarjajo ljudi, naj se ne približujejo tropu. Za učinkovito varovanje s pastirskimi psi je poleg stroškov za nakup, oskrbo in veterinarske storitve potrebno zagotoviti tudi elektroograjo. Ta predstavlja fizično in psihološko oviro, ki preprečuje uhajanje psov ter dodatno zmanjšuje tveganje za napade plenilcev. Praksa in projekti (npr. LIFE DINALP BEAR, SloWolf, Carnivora Dinarica) pomagajo pri širjenju znanja in pomoči drugim rejcem, ki želijo uporabiti takšen način varovanja. Najbolj uspešna kombinacija varovanja je z vsaj tremi pastirskimi psi na pašniku skupaj z elektroograjami, saj se tako močno zmanjša možnost in pogostost škod zaradi plenilcev. V Sloveniji so najpogostejše pasme tornjak, šarplaninec, kraški in kavkaški ovčar, drugod pa tudi anatolski ovčar, pirenejski mastif in druge. Njihova učinkovitost je odvisna od zgodnje socializacije s tropom, ustrezne vzgoje in stalnega spremljanja vedenja. Pastirski psi ob pravilni uporabi predstavljajo trajnostno rešitev, ki omogoča ohranjanje pašništva in sobivanje z velikimi zvermi. Livestock guarding dogs represent an important way to protect grazing animals from predators. In order to fulfil this task, they must be self-confident, independent, and calm, but also sufficiently obedient and trainable. Their strong protective and pack instincts means that they perceive the herd as part of their own pack, while their weak predatory instinct prevents them from chasing or attacking livestock. Through their presence, territory marking, and barking, they deter predators and warn humans to keep distance from herd. In addition to the costs of purchase, feeding, and veterinary care, effective protection with livestock guarding dogs requires also the use of electric fencing. This serves as both a physical and psychological barrier, preventing the dogs from leaving the pasture and further reducing the risk of predator attacks. Experience and conservation projects (e.g. LIFE DINALP BEAR, SloWolf, Carnivora Dinarica) helped to spread knowledge and help others who want to use this type of protection. The highest level of protection is achieved by combining electric fencing with at least three livestock guarding dogs per pasture, which significantly reduces possibility and frequency of damage caused by predators. In Slovenia, the most common breeds include the Tornjak, Šarplaninac, Karst Shepherd, and Caucasian Shepherd, while in other countries Anatolian Shepherds, Pyrenean Mastiffs, and other breeds are used. Their effectiveness depends largely on early socialisation with the flock, appropriate training, and constant monitoring. When properly managed, livestock guarding dogs are a sustainable to support the preservation of traditional grazing systems and promotes coexistence with large carnivores. paša pašne živali plenilci zaščita pastirski psi grazing grazing animals predators protection livestock guarding dogs true false false T.
