Changes of mares milk contents during lactacion
VRÁNOVÁ, Vendula
The objective is to determine the composition of mare´s milk at different stages of lactation and changes in its content that occurs during lactation. Variability of constituents in the milk contents between mares and possible link in the content of individual components of milk was also examined. Average values of contents were found during the five months of lactation: Fat 1.5%, protein 1.62%, lactose 6.55% and dry matter 9.78%. It was found that during lactation fat content decreases from 1.7% to 1.3% and protein content decreases from 1.75% to 1.48%. Lactose and dry matter content is unchanged. A higher coefficient of variation was found in fat and protein (between 16 -17%), lower in lactose and dry matter content (5-6%). Relation was found between protein and fat. On the contrary, no evidence of correlation between protein and lactose content, nor between the fat and lactose content was found.

Nutrition problem usage for horse feed ration production
Králová, Eliška ; Skočdopolová, Veronika (advisor) ; Šindelářová, Irena (referee)
Concern of this bachelor's thesis is to optimize the contents of the daily feed ration for horses, which must meet their nutritional requirements. The first chapter is devoted to the theory of decision problems using linear programming. In the list of typical linear problems there is a closer specification of the nutritional problem, description of its use and a brief mention of its history. Next part deals with horse nutrition, which includes the requirements of the nutrient content of daily ration and the information about basic feed. Then the practical assignment is defined, which is essential for formulating economical and mathematical model, solved using Solver tool in Microsoft Excel. After interpreting the results, the model is extended with new constraints and recalculated. Outcome of this work is the optimal solution for two models that meet the intended objective -- to help the breeder with creating a nutritionally balanced feed ration for horses and minimizing the costs.

Endoparasites of horses
WAGNEROVÁ, Pavla
A total of 587 faecal samples were collected from 98 horses of different age from three farms with various breeding system (pasture, stable and combination) in the South Bohemia, Czech Republic during three consecutive years (from 2009 to 2011), and screened for the presence of endoparasites, especially these inhabiting gastrointestinal tract and lung, using standard parasitological methods including flotation, sedimentation and staining methods. Moreover presence of Encephalitozoon spp. was detected using genus specific nested PCR. Small strongyles were the most common nematodes among studied horses. The age of animals was evaluated as a risk factor in relation to Eimeria leuckarti, Strongyloides westeri and Parascaris equorum infection in foals. The resistance of small strongyles (Cyathostominae) to benzimidazol anthelmintics has been revealed only on one of the visited farm. Most of examined animals were mono-infected. The breeding of horses in the stable represent management system with lowest risk in relation to parasitic infection of animals. Molecular analysis revealed the presence of human pathogenic Encephalitozoon cuniculi genotype I in horses.

Congenital disorders in horse
PRANTLOVÁ, Veronika
The task of this thesis is to elaborate literary study of congenital disorders incidence by horses. At the beginning, there are summarized problems of congenital disorders in general, such as origin of the disorders and the forming factors. Further, the most common or the most severe equine congenital disorders, considering specific prevalence depending on the breed, are specified. The thesis also contents the incidence of congenital disoders by other kinds of domestic animals. At the end the practical breeder´s advices are summarized.

The evaluation of horse nutrition with chosen preparats in sommer and winter season
HANETŠLÉGROVÁ, Petra
ABSTRACT The aim of this work was to provide a detailed breakdown of horse nutrition, to mention the importance of dietary supplements. The main part deals with the basics of horse nutrition, the bare necessities of nutrients, the proportion of maintenance rations and the technique of feeding. Afterwards, I outline the properties and effects of varied herbal plants such as garlic, hemp, hyssop, white horehound, coltsfoot and oats. Flaxseed, biotin, zinc, yeast and probiotics are dietary supplements improving the quality of fur, horsehair and hoofs. The feed will be analysed by standard methods. As far as horse excrement is concerned, we are going to observe its shape, colour, consistency, pH value and smell. The assessment of horse excrement will serve as a judgement about the activity of digestive system. The ethology observations will provide information on daily activity of a horse, on particular activities, to which the horse gives its attention during a day, and the amount of time it dedicates to them. As far as horses with respiratory disorders are concerned, we will observe the signs of their health problems and the rate of these problems occurring both at rest and in action. The information will be completed by the measurement of body proportions useful to body weight calculation. The statistical and economic methods will be selected in terms of the results accomplished during the research.

THE QUALITATIVE SEASONAL CHANGES OF THE HORSEŚ HAIR
KUBARTOVÁ, Jana
The result of this work was to find out the changes between the summer and the winter horse{\crq}s coat (the length, the thickness and the density). According to the year season, the way of stabling, the sex and the age. The comparison measured five different body parts in winter and in summer. The samples were taken during 24 months from 44 horses every two months. Each sample contained 100 hairs per horse. The samples were taken from the neck. The review of the summer and the winter coat was made of five different body parts {--} the neck, the shoulder blades, the stomach, the saddle and the hip joint. The hair length was measured by the slide rule. The measuring instrument Lanier, which was 500 bigger. The hair number per 1 cm{$^2$} gave the coat thickness.

Reaction time of sports horses.
KERNEROVÁ, Nina
In this thesis were charted information and methodology about reaction time of horses on optical stimulus. As an optical stimulus was used vehement and unforseen movement by white board (500 x 500 mm) on which horses reacted very well. Reaction scanning was made by high-speed video camera MotionScope 9400, which was connected to a computer. In total was evaluated group of 35 horses. The average age was 5.8 years, the average reaction time on optical stimulus was 152 ms. In experiment was group of 14 thoroughbreds and 21 warmbloods. Group contained 4 stallions, 17 geldings and 14 mares. The largest group was represented by 5 years old (10 representatives). By the thoroughbreds was found out reaction time 154 ms, by the warmblood group 150 ms. Differences between breeds were not statistically significant. The lowest average reaction time was measured out by stallions (139 ms), then mares (149 ms) and the highest rate was by geldings (157 ms). The difference between reaction time of geldings and mares was not statistically significant. The lowest rate was measured out by the age group from 2 to 4 years old (142 ms), then group of 6 to 13 years old (156 ms). The highest rate had group of 5 years old (159 ms). The differences between age groups were not upholded as statistically significant. The correlation coefficient expressing relation between age of horses and reaction time on the optical stimulus was found out very low, that means that it is not statistically significant. In this thesis was proved, that as well as humans, horses react more quickly on acoustic stimulus than on optical stimulus.
