Performance and reproduction of Holstein cattle
KAMENÍKOVÁ, Jana
The aim of thesis was to analyze the milk efficiency and fertility of dairy cows of Holstein cattle breeding under intensive conditions. The examinations were made in the agricultural company ZDV Krchleby, a.s. during the year of 2007 to 2009. In total, 147 dairy cows were used for observation including 35 Holstein dairy cows (100% H, R 100%), in a group called - H1, 70 Holstein cows crossed with Czech spotted cattle (H 75 - 87%, R 75 - 87%) in group - H3 and 42 Holstein cows crossed with Czech spotted cattle (H 50 - 74%, R 50 - 74%), in group - H4. Furthermore, the basic data set was divided according to lactation into four groups: 1st lactation, 2nd lactations, 3rd lactations, 4th and more lactations. The main indicators for evaluation of the milk efficiency were the: milk quantity (kg), amount of fat in the milk (%), production of the fat in the milk (kg), amount of protein in the milk (%), production of protein in the milk (kg), content of lactose in the milk (%), persistency of lactation and lactation duration (in days). In terms of fertility, the following factors were evaluated: the cow?s age at first birth (in days), insemination interval (in days), service period (in days) and the periods between births (in days). The cows in the first group milked on average of 8945.03 kg of milk, the amount of fat was 3.66%, the content of protein was 3.32%. Cows in the second group milked an average amount of 8186.55 kg of milk, the content of fat was 3.77%, the amount of protein was 3.33%. The third group milked an average amount of the milk 8649.05 kg, the content of fat was 3.58% and the amount of protein was 3.26%. Differences between these groups were not statistically significant. From the reproductive indicators, statistically, the only most significant difference was the time in between births. The longest period in between births was measured in the first group - 576.22 days, in the second group - 487.38 days and in the third group - 480.95 days.

Influence selected factors on growth and carcass quality of fattening bulls
KOCINOVÁ, Marie
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence selected factors on growth and carcass value of bulls fattened to slaughter weight in the reference herd of Czech Pied cattle breed and its crosses with meat breeds. A total of 70 pieces were observed among breeds of bulls, 32 bulls were of Czech Pied breed, 29 bulls of Czech Pied breed hybrid beef breeds bulls and 9 were crossbred beef cattle. Bulls for fattening were stopped at the age of 9-12 months and were fattened for around two years, 24 months of age.

Evaluation milk yield and fertility cows in drove of Bohemian Spotted cattle
ZADÁKOVÁ, Martina
The aim of this work was evaluation of milk yield and fertility of cows´ groups, which were formed on the basis of milk production quantity, age, a calving season, pedigree, body framework of cattle and a level of body condition. There were evaluated results at 690 cows in years from 2004 to 2007. The foundation dates about the yield and the fertility of animals were abtoined by check of the yield. The body framework of cattle and condition were investigated with regular month intervals during the year 2007. Body condition was considered in an interval from 1 to 5 points with accuracy of 0,25 point. During the watching years milk yield increased from 6 616 kg to 8 507 kg. Milk components reduced with increasing milk yield, when the contents of fat was gradually reduced from initial 4,2 % to 3,87 %. The contens of proteins was also reduced from 3,5 % to 3,37 %. It was investigated that the decline of body condition after calving was connected with extension of insemination interval and service period by six days and its increase with shortening of interval and SP by four days. The higher milk yield (8 281 kg) but at the same time longer service period was investigated with cows of bigger body framework (the hight in back from 145 to 150 cm). During the evaluation of effect breeding groups (C1, C2, C3) to fertility weren´t investigated more important differences among the groups. But the breeding groups influence the hight of milk yield, ehen the C3 group (share of dairy breed more than 50 %) has the highest milk yield (7 866 kg). The highest milk yield was investigated with cows at the second lactation period (7 900 kg), at the third lactation period was almost on the same level (7 886 kg)and in the following lactation periods the quantity of milk gradually fell down. The examination of lactation curve courses at cows´ group with a different level of yield indicated , thet the higher care in a herd is devoted to milk production than to cows´ fertility. The length of service period at the highyield cows was as 200 days.
