Reprodukční vlastnosti mateřských plemen prasat
Mandová, Lucie
The thesis is focused on reproductive properties (fertility and dairy) of maternal breeds of pigs. At first are described the reproductive properties of sows and boars, including the external and internal factors influencing these properties. Another part of the bachelor thesis is focused on the charakteristics of maternal brees with the genetic reserve, the transverse black-haired pig. The maternal breeds are analyzed at performance of pigs focusing on development of daily gain, lifetime performance and current situation, ie a general overview of the stocks in the studbook. After the analysis, comparison is made with paternal breeds.

Reprodukční užitkovost prasat
Klimeš, Jan
The bacherol thesis is a summary of literature sources concerning reproductive yield of pigs, focusing on sows. The thesis discusses the current reproductive situation in the Czech Republic, the zootechnical measures related to the rearing of piglets and the issues related to reproduction of sows. In addition, it deals with factors influencing the reproductive yield of pigs with division into external and internal factors. As far as the external factors are concerned, nutrition, housing and stock management are discussed in more detail. Furthermore, lighting and climatic conditions are mentioned. As far as the internal factors are concerned, thesis focuses for example on breed, heritable disposition, length of the interlude, average birthweight of piglets at birth, health condition and theothers. Finally, there are several examples and possibilities/opportunities to optimize reproductive yield focusing on health, housing and nutrition in the thesis.

Growth dynamics in selected rabbit breeds
POUSTKA, Milan
The aim of the thesis was performance comparison of selected populations of three breeds of rabbits, the Moravian Blue (Mm), the Viennese Blue (Vm) and the Dutch rabbit (Ho), that is a large, a medium-sized and a small breed. The monitored aspects were the production characteristics (gain weight and carcass yield) and the reproductive characteristics (the average number of kits born, the number of all kits born, the number of live born and stillborn and successfully weaned kits, the rate of successful pregnancies, the milkness of the doe). The population of each of the breeds was monitored in a selected base of 68 litters of the Mm, 65 litters of the Vm and 84 litters of the Ho. The weight gain of rabbits was monitored in regular intervals from birth until the end of fattening, i. e. until 8 months of age in the Mm and the Vm and until 6 months of age in the Ho. The results were compared with the weight gain required by the breed standard. Based on the observed weight gain, a growth curve has been created using the Richards function in Excel and Statistica 12.0. The monthly weight gain of the monitored breeds was compared. The highest average gain in weight for the Mm was 693 g, for the Ho 480g and for the Vm 539 g. The results show a significantly higher gain in weight throughout the growth period of the Dutch rabbit than is required by the breed standard. The Moravian Blue showed a lower average increase in weight during the first five months of age than is required by the breed standard. High statistical dependence (R = 0,94, p < 0.01) between weight gain and the number of kits per litter was observed during the first month. From the second month dependence get lower. Since the third month of age, this dependence could not be proven. Based on the parameters of the growth curve, the inflection point of growth was established at 59.8 days and weight 1 528 g for the Mm, at 43.2 days and weight 895 g for the Ho and at 67.7 days and weight 1512 g for the Vm. The average number of kits per litter was 6.3 for the Mm, 6.48 for the Ho and 6.23 for the Vm. The milkness was calculated according to the weight of the litter at 2 and 21 days of age. The milkness for the Mm was 3 985 g, for the Ho 2 582 g and 3 176 g for the Ho. A significant statistical dependence (R = 0.97 0.98) between the number of kits in the litter and the milkness was found. The mortality rate was at a low level for all monitored breeds, with the highest (5 per cent) for the Vm , followed by 2.9 per cent forthe Ho and 1.4 per cent forthe Mm. Analysis showed the highest carcass yield for the Dutch rabbit (62.4 per cent), but a lower live weight gain. The carcass yield was 59 per cent for the Vm and only 56.1 per cent for the Mm. Overall, the results of the thesis show a bigger live weight gain in case of the Moravian Blue rabbit provided there are higher demands for housing and feeding. Its progeny shows a greater growth potential and, in some aspects, also better reproductive characteristics. On the other hand, the Dutch rabbit paradoxically reached a higher number of kits per litter and better carcass yield, giving meat of greater quality. The Viennese Blue rabbit had a slightly higher mortality rate than the other breeds but also a relatively large weight gain and carcass yield approaching other medium-sized meat breeds. The results of the thesis can be beneficial for novice breeders in helping them choose the right breed, as well as for existing breeders in helping them improve the strengths and eliminate the weaknesses of these breeds.

Factors affecting the reproductive performance of sows
TŮMOVÁ, Petra
The aim of the bachelor thesis was to analyse reproductive characteristics of sows, that means the fertility and the lactation performance and influences that effect them. This work clarifies internal influences, primarily the breed affiliation, the age and weight of the sows, the parity number and the farrowing index. From external influences are covered nutrition, feeding and technology of stabling. The attention also aims at the pig maternal breeds that are bred for the reproduction characteristics.

Factors affecting the reproductive characteristics of sows
DULOVCOVÁ, Ivana
The aim of the bachelor theses was to make a review of the issue of sow reproduction and the factors affecting it. The work is focused on fertility of sows. That means the number of total born piglets, number of live born piglets, number of piglets weaned, the age at first mating, farrowing interval and piglet birth weight as well as lactation performance of sows. There were characterized the factors affecting reproductive parameters such as breed affiliation, parity number, nutrition and microclimatic conditions.

Analysis of influences on reproduction of sows
BRÁZDOVÁ, Ivana
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to analyse the reproductive traits of sows, namely their fertility, the lactation performance as well as the influences that affect them. The reproductive traits are in particular influenced by the animals? breeding affiliation, heterosis, the age and weight of the sow, the litter size and number, the farrowing index, the heritability of the boar, nutrition and the technology of stabling. The thesis deals with these aspects and clarifies them. Furthermore, it provides a description of the pig maternal breeds in which these reproductive traits were monitored, and focuses on controlled reproduction as well.

Performance comparison of selected populations of two breeds of rabitts
POUSTKA, Milan
The aim of the thesis was performance comparison of selected populations of two breeds of rabbits, the Moravian blue (Mm) and the Dutch rabbit (Ho), large and small breed of rabbit in fact. The monitored aspects were the production characters (growth and carcass yield) and reproduction characters (average numbers of birth, number of all births, live born and still-born births and number of weaning rabbits, ability of pregnancy, milkiness). Population of each of the breeds was monitored in a selected base of 68 litters of Moravian blue and 84 litters of Dutch rabbit. Both monitored breeds are recognized by the Czech Breeders Association as bred breeding and club breeding rabbits. Growth was monitored in regular intervals from birth until the end of fattening, i.e. until 8 months of age at Moravian blue a until 6 months of age at Dutch rabbit. The results were compared with the gain in weight published in pattern book of breeds. To evaluate milkiness, each of litters was weighed at 2 and 21 days of age. To compare the reproduction characters the monitored criteria were number of births, total natality and mortality and the number of raised births. The gained values of both breeds were compared and evaluated depending on increment of living mass and the fattening period. Carcass yield was monitored according to the traditional procedure of selected animals of average live weight and after reaching the slaughter age. The results show significantly higher gain in weight throughout the growth period of Dutch rabbit, than required by the pattern book of breeds. Moravian blue showed lower average increase of weight during the first five months of age from standard. The average number of rabbits in litter was 6,3 births at Moravian blue and 6,48 births at Dutch rabbit. On the other hand breeding succest and overall natality gave better results at Moravian blue. It has also been found that the milkiness of Moravian blue was 3985,4 grams in comparison with 2582,2 grams at Dutch rabbit, which is given by the size of breed. The slaughter analysis showed the carcass yield to be 56,1 % at Moravian blue and 62,4 % at Dutch rabbit, which is a value approaching meat breeds but at a lower meat production. The overall summary of the gained results showed greater production of living matter at Moravian blue rabbit providing greater demands for animal housing and feeding base. Its brood provides greater potential for growth and in some aspects better reproduction character. On the other hand, Dutch rabbit reached paradoxically more births in litter and higher carcass yield of undoubtedly better quality meat. Results of this thesis can be beneficial for choosing breed for novice breeders and for existing breeders it can help in their attempts to improve the strengths and eliminate the weaknesses of their breed.

The level of utility qualities of Chinchilla chinchilla in the chosen breeding
TUROŇOVÁ, Kamila
The main aim of this bachelor work was the analyzing of reproduction of indicators in private breedings. Furthermore, the growth abilities of chinchillas with colour mutations standard, black velvet and milkiness were appraised too. Altogether data were got from 1292 litters of chinchillas wavy color standard mutation from the period 1999 to 2008. Reproduction charakteristics were evaluated in number of born and weaning the youngs, the length of the interim and the size,weaning index of the litter depending on the order of the litter, the year of the monitoring and the membership of the family. The growth abilities of chinchillas colour mutations standard and black velvet were evaluated according to the order of the litters. Data about development of the live weight were made from data of 25 the youngs - standard colour mutation and 23 the youngs - black velvet mutation. Records of weights were taken place in 2009, on the day of the birth of the young and after every week until the young is 49 days. Data were summarized and statistically processed in MS Excel and Statistica Statsoft version 10. The analysis of reproduction characteristics found out on the average 1.82 the youngs born and 1.52 the youngs weaned with the average length of the interim 202.34 days. There were most often two youngs in the litter. The youngs of standard colour mutation evinced bigger average weight than the youngs of colour mutation black velvet.
