Performance evaluation of Oldkladruby horses
IGNATOVA, Natalia
Horse breeding has always been favored over the other sectors of animal husbandry. Oldkladruby horse, bred in the Czech Republic for more than 400 years, is one of the oldest breeds of horses. This original breed is included in animal genetic resources. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the results of Oldkladruby horse performance tests. The database was formed by descendants of fathers in breeding process in 1994 - 2014. The work follows the five factors reliability in heavy draught, team of horses maneuverability, marathon, movement, rideability and overall performance. Performance test is an important factor when selecting individuals for breeding, as well as a basis for determining performance of horses. Emphasis was placed on the analysis of monitored indicators and eventually on evaluation of the mechanics of movement, which is very important for Oldkladruby horses. Rudolfo, Roma and Siglavi Pakra strain represented a small number of individuals and their values are regarded as indicative. The largest number of mares which have undergone performance testing, belong to Generalissimus strain in the white color horses and Solo and Sacramoso colored black. Low values of the variation coefficient were found for all groups of mares and show considerable results balance. The results showed that for Oldkladruby mares in the mechanics of movement when comparing color variations, the highest marks reached strain Generalissimo. Due to the small number of stallions in the evaluation, we compared only their color variation. The low coefficient of variation indicates that the performance of stallions reached high level. When comparing the results of mares and stallions, we found that stallions excelled in all disciplines evaluated over mares.

Molekulárně-genetická analýza starokladrubských koní
Velebová, Adéla
The genetic variability and diversity of the Old Kladruber horse breed is evaluated in this master thesis. The aim is to evaluate the variability and diversity in the breed, between the sire lines and inside these lines. The detailed information about the Old Kladruber horse breed is presented in the literary overview with the breed history including the regeneration process. Basic indexes of the genetic variability are presented in the next part. 17 microsatellite markers were used to evaluate the genetic variability and diversity with further statistical analyses performed in GENEPOP 4.2 and ARLEQUIN 3.5 programs. The allele and genotype frequencies were calculated together with the number of alleles per loci and Hardy -- Weinberg equilibrium was tested for the population. Polymorphic information content, observed and expected heterozygosity and fixation coefficients were calculated. The results show surprisingly high degree of genetic variability in the Old Kladruber horse, increased probably due to introduction of other breeds during the regeneration process.

Genetic markers in the evaluation of diversity
PITROVÁ, Ludmila
A major purpose of this study was to summarize the information on the biodiversity and genetic variability on the earth and about factors affecting the diversity. There are more details about genetic origins of farm animals with focus on horse, namely Old Kladruber horses as a Czech cultural monument. This breed is illustrative living example how to use genetic information for breeding and for conservation of the species.
