The research objective was to assess the behavior patterns of the Polish Konik horse breed and the Uhruska variety of the Polish Lowland Sheep breed under a mixed-grazing system, and their relationship with climatic factors. The observation included 4 adult horses, 27 ewes with lambs and 10 primiparous ewes. The behavior of the animals and the weather conditions were recorded at 60-min intervals. Horses and sheep displayed similarities in both species-specific behavioral patterns and timing of grazing activity, and the duration of foraging sessions was mostly influenced by time of day, lower temperature and relative humidity. In addition, the two species showed more interest in the watering place in the afternoon, and drinking frequency was mainly dependent on air temperature. The animals that pastured together gradually began to mix, but at first, they remained within their species group. Both animal species can be used for environmental protection and landscape conservation making rational use of pastures within protected areas.

研究目的是评估混合放牧系统下波兰Konik马品种和波兰低地绵羊品种Uhruska品种的行为模式，以及它们与气候因素的关系。观察结果包括4匹成年马，27只带羊羔的母羊和10只初产母羊。每60分钟记录一次动物的行为和天气状况。马和羊在特定物种的行为模式和放牧活动的时间上都表现出相似性，觅食的持续时间主要受一天中的时间，较低的温度和相对湿度的影响。此外，这两个物种在下午的饮水场所表现出更多的兴趣，饮水频率主要取决于气温。放牧在一起的动物逐渐开始融合，但起初，他们仍然属于他们的物种组。在保护区内合理使用牧场，两种动物均可用于环境保护和景观保护。
