In vitro embryo production in horses
Babická, Dominika ; Šichtař, Jiří (advisor) ; Šimoník, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of this work is to write a literature review covering the latest findings in the field of in vitro embryo production in horses. In order to perform in vitro embryo production, you first need to know the anatomy of a mare and management of sexual activity. Reproductive systém of mares consists of two ovaries, two oviducts, uterus, vagina and vulva. Unlike other livestock, the development of oocytes is in the cortex of the ovary. Sexual activity is driven neurohumoral and production of hormone is ensured by the central nervous system and endocrine glands.
For in vitro embryo production must be obtained first oocytes. These are collected from either the living or the dead mares. For live mares are used ovum pick up (OPU, transvaginal ultrasound guided aspiration), standing flank laparotomy or transcutaneous flank puncture. OPU is a noninvasive method, where each follicle is flushed several times, and in the obtained solution is looked for oocytes. Invasive, but a very successful method for obtaining oocytes is transcutaneous flank puncture. There are three ways for collecting oocytes from abbatoir ovaries - either by slicing ovaries or curettage or aspiration. Very good results in amounts of obtained oocytes was proved by slicing ovaries. First, after collecting oocytes must be sorted according to cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) on compact, expanded or degenerating oocytes. Compact and expanded oocytes are distinguished under a microscope based on the morphology of the edges of this COC. Compact oocytes have a clear line margins, while margins of expanded oocytes are deformed and have heterogeneous cytoplasm. Best results for the production of embryos exhibit expanded oocytes. First, it has to be matured in the medium to the stage of MII. The culture system for oocyte maturation consists of the M199 with Earl's salts, 10% fetal bovine serum and 5 mU - ml of bovine follicle stimulating hormone in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air at 38.2 ° C. It was found out that regardless of the duration of cultivation, results of development of blastocysts after 24 or 48 hours were the same.
Standard IVF in horses can not be performed due to the zona pellucida and sperm capacitation. Therefore it is used intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), when one immobilized sperm is injected directly into the oocyte. Before ICSI sperm capacitation must be done by using the calcium ionophore. Oocytes were further cultured in vitro to the blastocyst stage. Another possibility is to transfer the fertilized oocyte directly to the uterine horn of the mare, or it is used cryopreservation for future.

Relationship between dairy cows´ physical activity and conception rate
Pytlík, Jan ; Stádník, Luděk (advisor) ; Toušová, Renata (referee)
The objective of this study was to create a comprehensive compilation of Czech and foreign scientific literature related to the subject of the thesis. Compilation of literature deal with fertility of cattle and factors which affect fertility. Other chapters discuss Czech Pied cattle, reproduction (anatomy and estrus cycle), estrous and relation between physical activity and conception.
Farm researches and subsequent evaluations were part of this bachelor thesis. An information about identification number, date of calving, lactation number, date of insemination, insemination number, period of the highest walking activity, conception, milk yield on the first 100 days of lactation were recorded for each insemination event on 2 farms in Plzeň Region from 2nd November 2015 to 27th December 2015. This data were collected from farm records, herd management softwares and milk recordings. Data on physical activity were obtained from farm management softwares AfiFarm and Westfalia. An information about overall performed 134 inseminations events were collected on farms Zemědělské družstvo Dobříč and Příkosická zemědělská a.s. The data were processed in Microsoft Excel. The aim of research was to evaluate relationship between walking activity, time of insemination and conception rate.
The investigated sample of cows was divided into 3 groups according to time of highest walking activity in relation to insemination. Cows of group period 1 had their highest walking activity more than 6 hours before an insemination. Animals with highest walking activity during less than 6 hours before or less than 6 hours after an insemination were put into group period 2. Highest walking activity more than 6 hours after an insemination led to integration of cows into group period 3.
The best results were correlated with cows in the group period 1. Animals in the group period 2 rank among second best success rate. The lowest results of conception rate are connected to group period 3.
Better reproductive results were found on the farm Zemědělské družstvo Dobříč. Despite comparative difference in obtained reproductive results of each farm the overall average results were comparable with figures of population.

The changes of Rubisco amount in Norway spruce grown at gradient of altitudes
Tomasz, Teresa ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Hrstka, Miroslav (advisor)
The study deals with differences of Rubisco enzyme content in Norway spruce needles (Picea abies L.) growing at different altitudes, thus at different concentrations of carbon dioxide. The collection of samples was performed in Jeseníky by Global Change Research Centre, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The samples of exposed and shaded needles were collected from 39 spruce trees in three altitudes – low (L), medium (M) and high (H). To separate Rubisco enzyme, the SDS-PAGE method was used, the content od Rubisco was determined by computer densitometry. The results of exposed needles confirmed that Rubisco content decreases with increasing altitude, however, in the case of shaded needles, there was no proof of a significant influence of altitudes on Rubisco enzyme amount. At low altitude, Rubisco content was significantly higher in exposed needles in comparison with shaded needles. At medium and high altitude no significant difference was detected between exposed and shaded needles.
