Abstract

English abstract

The Symposium on Partridge was organized by the Forestry and Czechoslovak Game Management Research Institute and the Czechoslovak Hunting Union and held in Prague, Czechoslovakia in October 1965. Participants in the symposium were specialists and scientific workers from Czechoslovakia and some scientists from abroad. There were two major themes: 1. the present state of partridge research and 2. conservation issues, including the problems and prospects of partridge stocks.

Papers concerned biology of partridges, ecology, population dynamics, migration, nestng, food, influence of predators, health, helminths, gapes, hemogram, rearing of partridges, rearing of chicks, penning, wintering in pens, protection during cutting and mowing, and control of predators.

This breadth of topics indicates that there is considerable interest in partridge conservation and management in Czechoslovakia.
