초록
말 개체별 둔감화 순치자극에 대한 행동반응 및 심박동수의 차이를 비교함으로써, 조련 효율성이 낮을 것으로 예측되는 말을 조기에 제외할 수 있는 평가지표를 마련하고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 말은 제주에서 생산하여 사육되고 있는 미순치 교잡마(더러브렛×제주마) 8두를 이용하였다. 둔감화 도구(비닐봉지 스틱)를 이용하여 말에게 자극을 주고, 자극 전, 후에 심박동수와 행동반응의 변화를 비교하였다. 실험결과 둔감화 순치자극 초반에 강한 거부반응을 보인 말이 심박동수도 높게 나타났는데, 조련이 진행됨에 따라 자극 초기에 증가했던 심박동수가 자극 전 안정상태의 심박동수로 회복하였다. 또한 심박동수 회복속도가 빠른 말이 행동반응도 같은 추세로 빠르게 안정되었다. 둔감화 순치자극에 의해 증가했던 심박동수 및 행동반응이 늦게 회복된 말은 추가적인 다른 형태의 순치·조련에서도 미흡한 결과를 보였다. 결론적으로 말의 둔감화 순치·조련 초기에 행동반응과 심박동수 검사는 향후 여러 형태의 순치·조련에서의 효과를 예측하는 지표로 활용될 수 있다.
Abstract
The aim of the study was to set up assessment indicators for early elimination of horses that are not trainable or low efficient for training by comparing difference of behavioral response and heart rate on stimulation of desensitization training in horses. The animals used in this study were 8 untrained cross-bred horses (Thoroughbred and Jeju-horse) in Jeju island. Changes of heart rates and behavioral response of each horses were compared before and after desensitization training using a plastic bag on its tip. The result showed that the horses with their severe behavioral response were also high in heart rate during early stage of desensitization training, and the increased heart rates were recovered back to the base level according to the process of the training. The horses that quickly recovered in heart rate also showed same tendency in behavioral response. The horses that their recovery in heart rate and behavioral response in early stage of the desensitization training were late, showed insufficient results of the additional desensitization training. We conclude that assessment of heart rate and behavioral response in the early stage of desensitization training could be used as indicators to predict the effectiveness of desensitization or other kinds of training in horses.
