Characteristics of cultivar composition of lupine in the Czech Republic
VOKURKA, Ondřej
This work deals through the method of library research with the current state and options of lupines growing in the Czech Republic, with a closer look on their cultivar composition. Initial characterisation of the vast genus Lupinus and chapters about history, contemporary significance and utilisation of lupine are followed by detailed botanical description of cultural species of this genus. Special attention is given to the growing season, as it is a significant factor that influences the potential of lupines growing in the Czech Republic. The following chapters deal with necessary facts about the habitat requirements of particular lupine species and the agrotechnical principles followed when growing lupines. Then the particular species are examined according to their significance, botanical description and environmental demands. The research concludes with a sketch of the breeding trends and characterisation of the available cultivar composition, including description of lupine varieties currently registered in the Czech Republic.

Body mass changes during breeding in birds
Drekslerová, Šárka ; Hořák, David (advisor) ; Klvaňa, Petr (referee)
Body mass is one of the criteria estimating individual's body condition and predicates an ability to cope with environmental conditions. To maintain the body condition the individual needs energy supply. In my essay I am concerned with life-history strategies of birds through the adjustment with increased energy demands during incubation period and with changes in body mass relating with these strategies. The individual can cover energy requirements directly from food ("income breeder") or make an energy storage in advance and draw the energy later during breeding ("capital breeder"). According to the type of breeding environment, access of strategy evolves and how changes its body mass in consequence of the elected strategy. Income breeding occur in small birds in good predictable environment with high food abundance and it is characterized by varying body mass changes. In contrast, capital breeding occur in hardly predictable environments or in cold areas with low food abu ndance and it is characterized by linear mass loss. Body mass has a great influence on breeding success. Female make a decision to breed or not based on her body condition. Breeding with female bad body conditon incerases a risk of abandoning the nest and nest failure. Another important factors are e.g. the weather, age of breeding...

Study of Animal Breeding at Primary Schools in the Czech Republic
Boučková, Veronika ; Řezníček, Jan (advisor) ; Jančaříková, Kateřina (referee)
The theoretical part of my thesis is based on a study of specialized literature and interview. It contains two parts focused on a history of breeding and the importance of breeding today with an interest on importance of school breeding. The present state of hobby breeding at Primary Schools in the Czech Republic was surveyed in frame of two questionnaires. Teachers and directors of Primary School were respondents of the first investigation, students of the Breeding School of the second one. In both surveys, the respondents were asked about actual existence of breeding at their school, farmed species, housing conditions and their attitudes and motives regarding this issue. Opinions of psychologists regarding this issue are a part of interviews presented in the first part of the work. There is a possibility to compare three insights on the same subject - by teachers, students and psychologists. Part of my thesis contains also a comparison of outcomes with similar research. Regrettably, there is a lack of literature data regarding the issue of school breeding.

Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L. BEAUV.) suitable crop to the transformative climate in the Czech Republic
Hermuth, Jiří ; Janovská, Dagmar ; Prohasková, Anna
The global climate changes bring a lot of undesirable impacts which will influence the agricultural production in the Czech Republic in the future. Nowadays the drought risks and their impact on the agricultural production have begun to show up very strongly. One of the main solutions might be the breeding and selection of more resistant species or/and varieties which are more adaptable to lesser water availability and which are more resistant to the new climate. This paper would like to present the foxtail millet as a cereal which might be a valuable alternative for grain production as well as for biomass production in less favourable arid areas of our country.

Evaluation of breeding of birds of the order hornbills (Bucerotiformes) in selected zoos in the Czech Republic
ZÁHOROVÁ, Lucie
Hornbills have often been bred in zoos during recent years, not just abroad but also in the Czech Republic. These birds, characterized by long curved bill and casque, play an important ecological role in the wild as "forest farmers". Unfortunately their populations have been decreasing in the wild. Hornbills are facing habitat loss and food decline, they are hunted for their meat and for trade. Also some species are now commonly bred in captivity, the experience with breeding and rearing hornbills is not very extensive. Moreover, their specific nesting biology together with complicated social bonds rank hornbills to species with very low reproductive success. Therefore, appropriate breeding technique based on knowledge of the biology and ecology of the species is essential for successful breeding and rearing. The work effort of all zoos can in this way contribute to protection of the species in the wild. This theme describes conditions and results of hornbill breeding in Liberec zoo, Dvůr Králové zoo and Zlín Lešná zoo. Its goal is to determine the main factors influencing hornbill´s nesting in captivity.

Emise tuhých znečišťujících látek v chovu hovězího dobytka
DVOŘÁK, David
This thesis deals with the issue of air pollution, emissions of solids in the cattle farming. The measurements were carried out in accordance with the applicable methodology for the evaluation and the determination of the concentration of dust particles PM10 in the selected cattle farming enterprise. The measurements were carried out in a barn with the breeding of the Holsteinbreed on the farm in Radimovice u Želče and a nearby village Lom. The aim was to measure and evaluate the obtained data. Two cattle breeding companies were selected for the possible comparison. The main factor for comparing the breeds was that one breed is with bedding material and the other with a slatted floor. The measurements were performed with DUST TRAK II 8530 device. The theses also includes a description of this device.

Onemocnění paznehtů v chovu mléčného skotu
NĚMCOVÁ, Jitka
Bachelor thesis is focused on diseases of the limbs in high-yield dairy cows, causes of diseases and their treatment options. Here are described factors that influence the incidence of disease in farms and its expansion. In the reporting breed was assessed health status hoof total of 437 dairy cows in three cycles of treatment. As part of a treatment cycle of the treatment, cure or control individual hooves of dairy cows. The most common disease was Rusterholz´s ulcer (56 %), other diseases assessed were represented on average 10 %. It was a foot rot, dermatitis digitalis, dermatitis interdigitalis and mechanical damage to limbs cows. No health problems have been a total of 20 % of dairy cows. Here are described factors that influence the incidence of disease in farms and its expansion. Finally, they were also considered external factors that can influence the health of the hoof. It was mainly the effect of diet, environment, technology, housing or affect the care of hooves.

Uplatnění inseminace v chovu koní v České republice
BARTOŇOVÁ, Bohdana
Aplication of modern biotechnology method, artificial insemination is very important for genetics control in horses. Only with application of insemination it is possible to ensure sufficient number of offspring of one stallion for objective evaluation of inheritance of particular genes. This thesis aims to collect information about current situation and results in horse breeding in the Czech republic. Reproduction indicatiors were evaluated within the Czech Warmblood breed in 2010 2015. The data was obtained from Czech warmblood breeders association yearbooks, analysed and compared to results of reproduction in selected species of farm animals (cattle, sheeps), obtained from corresponding yearbooks, registred by Bohemian-Moravian breeders association. In years of 2010-2015, 4320 artificial inseminations were recorded in Czech warmblood breeding. The number of foals born after artificial insemination was 1745, after natural breeding it was 1359. Average fertility in artificial insemination was 56,10 %, in natural breeding 49,34 %. In comparison of reproduction indicators with selected species of farm animals it was found out, that in horse breeding, evaluation of fertility of is considerably simpler than in other farm animals, since there are less indicatiors for evaluation. Different reproduction indicatiors are evaluated in cattle and sheep breeding.The reason might be in more focus on sport preformance in horses, than to reproduction indicators, that are not openly available.
