Effect of aging, season and temperature on pain threshold in laboratory rat
Vítková, Jana ; Vaculín, Šimon (advisor) ; Špicarová, Diana (referee)
Every living creature meets with pain up to these days. Many researches are made in labour conditions, we try to find out how the pain works and how we can suppress it or how we can utilize it in our welfare. Our work is focused on the effect of aging, season, acclimatization and ambient temperature on thermal and mechanic pain threshold in laboratory rats. We were interested how these factors affect the results of the research. Adult male Wistar rats were used in all experiments. Thermal pain thresholds were measured by withdrawal reaction of three body sites: forelimbs, hind limbs and tail. Mechanic pain thresholds were measured by von Frey filaments and a skin temperature was measured by IR thermometer, both of three body sites. Our results demonstrate that : (i) aging have effect on nociceptive pain threshold; (ii) there is presence of cranio-caudal distribution of nociceptive sensitivity in aging and in changing of ambient temperature - forelimbs have lower latency than hind limbs; (iii) thermal pain threshold depends indirectly on ambient and skin temperature; (iv) there was no effect of repeated measurement on nociceptive thresholds of the three body sites; (v) hind limbs and tails are more sensitive to changes of ambient temperature than forepaws; (vi) mechanic pain threshold not change...

Vyhodnocení reprodukčních ukazatelů ve vybraném chovu dojnic v ZOD "Podhradí" Choustník
NEZBEDOVÁ, Marie
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate chosen influences on the extent of reproduction of randomly chosen milk cows that are bred in the same conditions. The chosen influences such as breed, age of the first calving, time of year of calving and level of yield were observed within breeds of Czech Fleckvieh and Holstein cattle. Evaluation was carried out in ZOD "Podhradí" Choustník company, specifically in Budislav farm. 191 cows were chosen for the basic sample. 95 of them were Holstein cattle and 96 were Czech mottled cattle. Chosen influences were evaluated according to data gained from the set of milk yield inspections. A statistically significant difference was observed between Czech ticks and Holstein cows in the length of service period per second and first lactation where Holstein cows have a second lactation period longer than 44 days (P <0.001). Evaluation of first calving age did not show any influence on the level of reproduction neither within Czech Fleckvieh nor within Holstein cattle. During the annual evaluation, it emerged that Holstein cows calved in spring and winter have significantly bigger insemination interval compared to cows that were calved during summer or autumn. This fact was also proven by correlation analysis. This analysis also confirmed the relation between annual period and insemination interval Rxy=0,21(P<0,05). The correlation analysis also proved the relation between annual period and service period as well as interim of Czech Fleckvieh cattle Rxy= 0,327 (P<0,01). Statistically significant influence was not proven within Holstein cattle. Correlation analysis only pointed out the relation between yield and service period Rxy=0,213 (P<0,05). Unlike Holstein cattle, gradual increase of service period figures and interim depending on yield was noticed. Breeding cows milking more that 7,5 thousand kg of milk per lactation had service period of 132 days (P<0,01) and interim 407 days (P<0,01). Economical losses caused by prolonged interim during monitored herd of cattle reached 400.490 CZK in year of 2016.

Faktory ovlivňující množství spermií v ejakulátu kanců
ŠTVERÁK, Martin
In the reproduction of pigs we have been seeing for long time seasonal and sudden declines in the production of piglets. But there are no completely known specific influencing factors or the extent of their impact on fertility of sows and boars. There are many studies dealing with the causes of decline of showing the estrus of sows and boars reducing sperm quality, but even in the educational literature or professional breeders discussions is not enough space dedicated to reducing the quantity of semen of boars. The number of sperm cells in the ejaculate plays an important role in fertilization and also has a direct impact on the smooth running of boar AI center and thus their clients. The aim of the study was to evaluate sperm counts of observed boars under the influence of the seasons and compare them with the ideal values. All the data of the number of sperm of observed boars from the years 2006 2010 were divided into groups based on the date when sperm collection was conducted. These groups were then compared statistically among themselves in terms of the average total quantity of sperm cells in the ejaculate, average sperm concentration and average volume of ejaculate. The average total number of sperm cells reached the highest values in winter, the second best results was evaluated in the fall, which was not too far from the spring results that have achieved satisfactory values. The lowest total sperm count was recorded in the summer but even these low values are according to professional literature in the standard. The average sperm concentration peaked again in the winter, but this time with a relatively small margin before spring, which also showed excellent results. Worse values were achieved in the fall and the lowest results from all fell back for the summer. Some sources even stated that the results for the fall and summer are below standard. For ejaculate volume was surprisingly best evaluated fall, but with only a slight difference the second best quality has been reached in winter. Compared to the results of the concentration of sperm cells in the ejaculate volume were recorded relatively low values in the spring, but the worst results were, as expected, again in the summer. The results show that factors related to the ongoing season have undeniable impact on sperm production of breeding boars, these factors have somewhat different effect on semen volume and sperm concentration. By all accounts, the best time to reproduce is the winter and the least favourable time is summer.

Preferences of the basic components of food by central European speciens of ants.
NOSKOVÁ, Lenka
This thesis has two parts: the first brings an overview of the role of various foods and nutrients in ants, the second presents the results of an experiment focused on preference of the basic components of food by central European species of ants. In the experiment we provided ants with six different baits (water, 1% sodium chlorid, olive oil, 20% amino acid glutamine, artificial honey [10% sucrose + 10% amino acid] and 20% sucrose). Total, 187 of 690 traps were visited by ants. There were 26 recorded species of ants. Preference of four most abundant species differed. F. polyctena attended most of the offered baits, while other species preferred the sugar components. In general, ants preferred artificial honey and sucrose, regardless of the season and habitats. Additional field tests with different bait concentration of salt and sucrose showed the same preferences regardless of bait type and no additive effects of the amino acid in the sucrose baits. The results of the experiment show a surprisingly consistent and strong preference of central European species of ants for sugars.

Influence of the Season on Fertility and Milk Yield of Cows
KREJČOVÁ, Eva
The condition of constantly increasing demands for milk production is high level of reproduction and creating an optimal stable environment. The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of selected bioklimatological indicators on performance and fertility of cows in relation to the seasons. Monitoring was conducted from February 2013 to February 2014 on a farm in Bošilec. Data were obtained from milk yield control, followed by AFI FARM, which records information about each milking of dairy cows and zootechnical evidence about pregnancy rates. The authors agree that the recommended air temperature for dairy cows is 0 ° C - 16 ° C, the relative humidity should be in the range of 50 - 75%. The average of the measured air temperature in the stable during the spring were 16.24 ° C in summer 20.58 ° C to 11.91 ° C in autumn and winter 8.42 ° C. In the stable were measured average values of relative humidity in the spring, 67.85% and 70.91% during the summer, in autumn 77.97% and in winter, 79.98%. Duration of sunshine was 2.43 hr in the spring, 4.92 hr in summer, autumn 2.03 hr and 0.90 hr in winter. The measured values show that the average temperature in the stable correspond with the thermoneutral zone established for dairy cows in loose housing. Furthermore, it was found that the average relative humidity in the autumn and winter period exceeded the upper limit of the recommended optimum. Effect of the season on pregnancy rates of cows was not statistically proven (p> 0.05). From the obtained results it is apparent that the highest average milk yield was reached in the spring. It was recorded a lower average amount of milk fat and protein in the spring and summer.

Season changes in milk efficiency and fertility of the cows in relation to the temperature and humidity environment conditions
ŤOUPALOVÁ, Michaela
High level of fertility and milk efficiency be ranked among major premise profitability of the company. If are not i extenso independent all necessaries of life dairycows, it is impossible expect favourableness. Human factor have in locking needs dairycows most important and fungible role, above all in the area corresponding sustenance and correct rearing technique and attendance fiduciary animals. On fertility and milk efficiency affect all row of other factors, from which ours imposition was evaluate seasonal establishment temperature influence and relative humidity. Average milk yield in herd Holstein cows attained 6 254 kg milks behind standardized lactation 305 days. Avarage deily vessel descending reduction on standardized lactation do 20,5 litre. Highest values reached average daily milk yild in spring 22,09 litres milk during lactation. Big throughs was recorded in summer, average daily vessel doed mere 16,96 litres milk during lactation. By the help of ANOVA test was ascertained statistically significant difference on significance level P 0,05 among spring and summer, among spring and winter, among summer and autumn and among summer and winter. Effected regression analysis confirmed fall average daily milk yield depending on raising temperatures inside stabling. Maximum cows at average daily efficiency about 20 - 23 litres milk here of achievement reached at 10 - 12 °C. Optimum thermal balk strode low-water mark of 28 x plus upper boundary 247 x. Temperature above 20 °C was overstepped 104 x. Optimum D shell relative humidity crossed ceiling 211 x. Average meantime in heard attained 419 days, SP 127 days and insemination interval 78 days, near over most 50 % cows was level fertility evaluation like bad. According to results ultrasonografik investigation gravided every 3. - 4. cow, which is wanting. In case executant defects was highest percent occurrence recorded near sweeping and ovarian cysts. Influence of season, let us say temperatures on fertility indices plus defect incidence wasn´t evidenced. Bad level fertility had in the framework year continual course.

Content iodine in milk
HRABEC, Miroslav
The main goal of my graduation thesis was to review the amount of iodine in raw milk and to consider how does the milk processing influence the changes of iodine{\crq}s content in the milk. This graduation thesis brings current information about the iodine{\crq}s content in raw milk in Czech Republic before its distribution to the market. The samples were extracted in the technology output line in the dairy works during two following years (2005 and 2006). On the whole there were taken 174 samples in which the content of iodine was set by Sandell - Kollthofa method. The average value of iodine in the market milk with 1,55% fat in the year 2005 was 534,9 {$\mu$}g . l-1 and in the year 2006 was 682,0 {$\mu$}g . l-1.
