Kurzzeitige Transport-assoziierte Stressbelastungen wurden durch die Konzentration von Corticosteron im Blutplasma von Fasanen (Phasianus colchicus) im Alter von 8 und 16 Wochen quantifiziert, die \u00fcber die Dauer von 2 Stunden in Transportcontainern transportiert oder lediglich in diese platziert und Umgebungseinfl\u00fcssen ausgesetzt wurden (visueller Kontakt mit Vorbeigehenden, Menschenstimmen, Bewegungen des Containers). Beurteilt wurde dabei ein etwaiger Unterschied in der Stressreaktion von j\u00fcngeren und \u00e4lteren V\u00f6geln, um einen geeigneten Zeitraum f\u00fcr den Transport von der Zuchtst\u00e4tte in die Fasanerie und ggf. geeignete Stellen f\u00fcr die anschlie\u00dfende Freisetzung vor der Jagd w\u00e4hlen zu k\u00f6nnen. Die Arbeit mit jungen Fasanen (n = 40, Alter 8 Wochen) fand im Juli statt, das Experiment mit \u00e4lteren Fasanen (n = 40, Alter 16 Wochen) im September. In beiden Zeitr\u00e4umen wurden die Fasanen in drei Gruppen aufgeteilt: Kontrollgruppe (n = 10), Containergruppe (2 Stunden, n = 10) und Transportgruppe (2 Stunden, n = 20). Die Corticosteronkonzentration war warbei den 16 Wochen alten Fasanen statistisch wesentlich h\u00f6her, und das unabh\u00e4ngig von der Gruppenzugeh\u00f6rigkeit. Der h\u00f6chste Corticosterongehalt wurde bei Fasanen beider Altersgruppen festgestellt, die f\u00fcr zwei Stunden in Container platziert wurden, bei den \u00e4lteren Tieren war er jedoch signifikant h\u00f6her als bei den j\u00fcngeren. Bei den 8 und 16 Wochen alten V\u00f6geln, die 2 Stunden lang in Transportcontainern transportiert wurden, wurden keine bedeutenden Unterschiede des Corticosterongehalts festgestellt. Abschlie\u00dfend kann man feststellen, dass der Corticosterongehalt im Blutplasma bei \u00e4lteren Fasanen (Alter 16 Wochen) statistisch bedeutend h\u00f6her ist als bei j\u00fcngeren Fasanen (Alter 8 Wochen), und das unabh\u00e4ngig davon, wie die Stressbelastung beim Experiment hervorgerufen wurde. Der gr\u00f6\u00dfte Anteil der mit dem Transport der Fasane zusammenh\u00e4ngenden Stressbelastung resultiert aus der Handhabung der V\u00f6gel und dem nahen Kontakt zum Menschen, und diese Belastung ist bei \u00e4lteren Tieren h\u00f6her als bei j\u00fcngeren. Der Transport stellt den geringeren Anteil der Stressbelastung dar, denn kein statistisch bedeutender Unterschied war nachgewiesen zwischen der Transportgruppe und der Kontrollgruppe der V\u00f6geln unabh\u00e4ngig von ihrem Alter.<\/p>
