Q

two type of measures in health surveillance

A

preventive:
- understand the situation which needs implementing of preventative measures at the high risk area

Q

necropsy

A
  • carry out as many as possible
  • dead game is rarely found that is suitable so often based on sanitary and harvesting culling
  • prior to necropsy check for either anthrax or rabies
  • field necropsy - only be county vet

Q

sanitary culling

A
  • measure by which game animals with visible signs of disease are excluded from further breeding
  • measure is justified only in case if no medical treatment is possible/ not achieve healing
  • 2 levels of implementation: single (non expert) or total (vet authorities)
  • advantages of sanitary culling is it completely eliminates sick animals and helps to find the cause
  • disadvantage, is changes in behaviour doesn’t mean sanitary culling is needed
  • single sanitary culling if curing isn’t possible
  • total = cannot be avoided in case of severe or highly contagious disease
  • hunt rights holder is obliged to report each culling with certificate and proof of disease

102
Q

game counting

A

direct: observation, capture, mortality counting

indirectly: traces of presence: prints, faeces, voting, marking signs, photo traps
> continuous = all year long
> census = estimation of abundance at a certain
» spatial census: small and large game

temporal census: specific location over a period of time, repeated at regular intervals

large game - counted three times by so-called “counting position”
pseudo - sample census: counting along transects, foot prints (eg wolf snow tracking)

103
Q

basic stock

A

abundance of particular game species at beginning of the hunting year 31st march - 1st April

104
Q

breeding stock (parent stock)

A

number of sexually mature game at the beginning of the hunting year

105
Q

stock of newborn

A

total number of newborn animals of particular game species in some hunting ground during on going hunting year

106
Q

annual drop rate

A

all animals of one game species died by predation, species, disease, weather calamities, poaching

must be calculated before hunting

107
Q

annual population growth

A

stock of newborn minus annual drop rate = annual population growth (surplus)

must be determined before shooting season

108
Q

total stock (fall stock)

A

consist of basic stock and annual population growth

counting by the beginning of the autumn

key number to calculate annual hunting bag

109
Q

annual hunting bag

A

total number of particular game species that might be culled down during hunting season

110
Q

what does game management plan determines

A

sustainable game capacity:
- appropriate number of game animals
- optimum/maximum number of individuals of particular
- excessive number of game animals causes habitat devastation
- shortage in number

habitat quality index
- represents the possible/optimal number of particular game species

hunting productive area
- game management suitable area
- parts of the hunting ground where a particular speices of a game has all the natural conditions

hunting unproductive area
- wetlands etc

111
Q

types of culling

A

harvesting
- exemption of normally developed and healthy animals from the population

selective
- large game - exemption of nonperspective animals from population write offs

regulating
- to achieve the desired sex ratio

sanitary
- by quantitiy
- single - exmpetion of sick of injured individuals, complete or total

reducting
- exemption of excess individuals regardless of gender and age
- reducing down to the number of sustaintable game capacity

112
Q

what is the hunting ground

A
  • determined/defined area of land that is a complete natural environment with ecological and other conditions for the breeding, protection, hunting and use of game and it’s part

kind of hunting ground
- by ownership
- by type

private hunting ground:
- established on land owned by a single person or company as well

joint hunting ground:
- hunting ground established on the lands of various owners

state hunting ground
- variant of private hunting ground
- by type:
> open hunting ground
> hunting ground where daily and seasonal

enclosed hunting ground
- hunting area of at least 1,000ha, enclosed by natural or artificial

113
Q

conditions for establishing a hunting ground

A
  • minumum area (1000/500ha)
  • a logical, complete area
  • descriptive/recognisable boundaries
114
Q

area rounding

A
  • process of forming/rounding up the hunting ground
  • implemented by a committee of experts
115
Q

hunting ground boundaries

A
  • natural or artificial
  • boundaries of the hunting grounds must be visible
  • coastal zone
  • boundaries of the hunting grounds cannot be determined, railways, county and local roads
116
Q

areas where hunting ground cannot be established

A

it’s forbidden to establish a hunting ground:
- on mined surfaces and safety zone up to 100m wide
- at sea and fish ponds with coastal land required for the use of ponds
- nurseries, orchards, vineyards

117
Q

areas on which hunting grounds are not established - though they are within the border of the hunting ground

A
  • so called areas excluded from hunting ground
  • urbanised area
  • roads
  • settlements and zone of 100-300m around them
118
