Hánlová, P: Effect of chromium on semen quality and carbohydrate metabolism in bre-eding boars, Diploma Thesis MENDELU, Brno, 2015, s. 59 The aim of this thesis was to develop a literature search and experimentally de-termine the influence of mineral nutrition on boar semen quality. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first assesses the impact of the addition of chromium on semen qua-lity of breeding boars. The second part examines the influence of the addition of chro-mium on glucose and insulin levels in the blood of breeding boars. The experiment was conducted in Velké Meziříčí at the insemination center boars. The experiment consisted of 28 Duroc boars breed for 14 weeks. These boars were divided into 4 groups according to age balanced. In the control (n = 7) group (K), was chromium receiving 205 ug/kg/day. In the 1st group (n = 7) animals (CR1) was dose chromium even increased by 60.6 ug/kg compound feed for the second group (n = 7) boars (Cr2) of 121.2 ug/kg and 3. group (n = 7) boars (Cr3) was added chromi-um in an amount of 181.8 ug/kg compound feed. The addition of chromium to the semen quality of breeding boars too had a signifi-cant impact. During the first months of feeding chromium occurred in the control group to a decrease in ejaculate volume of 29 ml. In the group S3 during the experiment is bound to increase sperm concentration, but in the fourth taking under review decreased significantly compared to previous months. The difference between the third and fourth taking was 131.5 thousand/mm3. This difference is statistically insignificant, and could be caused by external influences or errors in nutrition. Sperm motility during certain months was below 70%. This ejaculate should not be used for insemination. In the second part of the experiment, the addition of the chromium significantly reduced glukose levels and insulin activity. The obtained results can not recommend feeding chromium breeding boars.
