Summary
A year-long study at the National Stud Farm in Kladruby nad Labem revealed that stable microclimate conditions, including temperature, humidity, and dew point, are significantly influenced by ambient weather patterns. The research, conducted from April 2011 to March 2012, found that while the stables generally provide suitable environments for horse welfare, gas concentrations—measured monthly in 24-hour cycles—varied with horse presence. This suggests that enclosed stable conditions can be optimized further to enhance breeding outcomes and equine health.
