History of infant nutrition since 1945 to 2008
VACUŠKOVÁ, Miluše
Nutrition of children of each age has its particular aspects. For the new born and infantile age it is mainly breast-feeding that is very significant. Nutrition with breast milk is ideally balanced, ensures the intake of high-quality nutrition that is well tolerated by the young organism and ensures the optimal growth and psychological development of the child. Thanks to its composition, breast milk increases the protective impact on the child with respect to infections and creates a natural bond between the mother and the child. In the Thesis, I was trying to look up decisive moments in the infantile nutrition concept both in this country and worldwide and to map the issue of breast feeding and formula feeding since the end of the Second World War up to the present. Also, I wanted to emphasize the irreplaceability of breast milk as wel as supplementing of artificial milks with probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics and their importance in the nutrition of children. Objective No. 1 of the Thesis has been to look up the key points in the infantile nutrition concept in the world since the beginning of the nineteenth century and since 1945 until this day in the Czech Republic. Objective No. 2 has been to prove that infantile formula nutrition has been focusing also on the immunological aspect apart from the nutritional ones. Objective No. 3 has been to create and aducational program proposal, which can serve as a practical guide for the application of theoretical data in clinical practice. Data necessary to achieve the determined objectives have been acquired by studing, analyses and comparison of available written documents relating to the natural and formula nutrition of infants. Most of these documents have been intended for the educational purposes at secondary school and universities in the Czech Republic. Also, data heve been taken from publications for parents and broad public published since 1945 until this day. By way of illustration, certain charts containing schemes of artificial nutrition corresponding to the time of creation have been used. On these schemes I wanted to show the chages in the concepts brought about by the development not only in the knowledge and thinking of people dealing with the nutrition of infants but also in the new possibilities and technology of the food processing industry.

The nutraceutic of food and their healthy significance. Metaanalytic study.
MARKOVÁ CHOCHOLOVÁ, Jana
This bachelor thesis deals with nutraceutical impact of fermented products on human organism. It presents old fermentation technologies, which are very important for nutraceutical production. Every so called new consumer in the 21. century prefers nutraceutics - probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics, because these products have supposedly healthy-improving influence on human immunity and defence mechanism. This bachelor thesis presents several projects from 2006 and these projects confirm and deepen knowledges in nutraceutical products.

Probiotic bacteria and their health importance.
ČAPKOVÁ, Martina
Nowadays probiotics and their positive effect on human health is often discussed topic. Their positive effects on the immune system and intestinal flora are proven scientifically. In recent years, potential effects of probiotics in prevention and treatment of diseases have been the centre of interest. Despite this fact public doesn´t have enough information about effects of probiotic bacteria. The theoretical part deals with a conception of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics, their features, effects and applications in food and health benefits. The practical part mentions results of public awareness of probiotics. 240 people, devided into 4 groups, took part in this questionnaire survey.

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.

Possibilities of the application of supplemental and nonconventional methods in prevention and health care in calves
RAABOVÁ, Marcela
Diarrhoeas in calves pose one of the most serious risks of calf management and cause economic losses. This is the reason why the objective of this paper was to evaluate in operation conditions the effect of selected dietary supplements on the frequency of diarrhoea occurrence in calves in the first stages of the period after weaning for milk nutrition. An agricultural enterprise where the workers were willing to cooperate and provide the biological material was selected: ZEFA Volary. In 2005 {--} 2008 calves were examined from 3 to 6 weeks of age on average. After filling the facility, the calves were divided into a control and experimental group. Blood and faeces samples were taken in selected calves of both groups and subsequently they were evaluated. The calves were treated with dietary supplements and their effect on the frequency of diarrhoeas was subsequently evaluated on the basis of the results of blood examination and recorded data (diarrhoea occurrence, diarrhoea duration, length of treatment, method and length of treatment, date of filling the facility and date of calf load-out, weight at the time of filling and load-out). The results were summarised and evaluated by a statistical programme (STATISTICA 7.0.). No statistically significant difference was proved between the particular calves of the control and experimental group. Based on our observations the effects of the treatment with dietary supplements on the frequency of diarrhoea occurrence in calves were not satisfactory in the first stages of the period after weaning for milk nutrition. But it is to state that some tendencies to reach a higher average weight gain were observed in calves of the experimental group in applied dietary supplements even though these results were statistically insignificant.
