Vliv klimatických podmínek na chování koz
MOJŽÍŠKOVÁ, Nikola
The aim was to record the basic categories of behavior of milked goats on an organic farm with regard to the different climatic conditions throughout the year. The herd of approximately 100 goats for milk production was kept throughout the year with unlimited access to pasture freely within the enclosure. Followed the basic categories of behavior: feed intake, exercise, lying and standing. There were five investigations done by interval method (interval of 10 minutes) after 24 hours at different macro climatic conditions (rain, mild winter, frost, heat, optimum temperature). In all investigations were the most represented category relaxing form of lying. The goats rested longest at low temperatures approximately (-12C) for 42% of the day. In contrast the shortest duration of resting during high summer temperatures approximately (32C) was 35% of the day. The length of feed intake was relatively stable with the longest intake in winter by up to 10% to 25% of the day. Climatic conditions affect the regime of the day, especially in determining the time of intake. Goats grazed in summer when high temperatures mostly in the early morning, while the optimal temperatures were grazing evenly distributed throughout the day. Goats are very active, which is due to their lively temperament. Increased unrest in the herd was recorded in relentless rain.

Market of selected organic commodities (organic meat)
LEŠTINOVÁ, Iva
This thesis deals with the organic livestock production in South Bohemian region. The aim of the thesis was to analyze the South Bohemian organic meat production, production of eggs and honey and distribution of the biocommodities. Through the processing of data from the database IAEI and questionnaire survey, conducted at the level of organic farmers farming in the South Bohemian region with a valid certificate for meat production, development and the current market situation of organic meat production were assessed in the South Bohemian region.

Endoparasite infections in sheep and goats in diverse farming systems
UHLÍŘOVÁ, Barbora Isatou
Samples of excrements for parasitological investigation were obtained in two year period 2011 and 2012 on three sheep farms and two goat farms in South Bohemia (a farm conventional, an organic and converting to an organic farming system). A total of 400 samples were examined using four parasitological methods. Thirteen species of gastrointestinal nematodes and one species of Protozoa were recovered. In farms Coccidia Eimeria spp. was the most diagnosed. Results revealed that goats were 1,8 times more often infected with parasites than sheep (x2 = 6,274; d. f. = 1; p = 0, 00576; OR = 1,82). Animals younger 6 months were 3 times more often infected with Eimeria than older ones (x2 = 17,174; d. f. = 1; p = 0,00003; OR = 3,16). Goats were 11 times more often infected with parasites in winter than sheep (x2 = 5,8174; d. f. = 1; p = 0,0050; OR = 10,78). Goats were 2 times more often infected with lungworm infection than sheep (x2 = 8,407; d. f. = 1; p = 0,0019; OR = 1,99). A statistically significant difference in infectious contamination between conventional and an organic system bred animals was not discovered (x2 = 0,0145; d. f. = 1; p = 0,452; OR = 1,05).

Breeder and economic evaluation of selected goat breed
CHVOSTOVÁ, Martina
The research was done during 2004 {--} 2006 on ecological farm specialised for Czech white shorthaired goat. Milk production per lactation period was in 2004 390 kgs, in 2005 381 kgs. It was deeply below average. In 2006 it grew up to 678 kgs that was only little below average of 707 kgs in Czech Rep. The average day milk yield was that year 2,5 kg per goat. This breed has very low fertility in longterm. Farm match the requirements of financial health. In 2006 was the income per one goat 24 818 CZK and variable costs 17 310 CZK per goat.

The Utilization Of Goats And Sheep In Care For Landscape And Their Submission In Ogranic Farming
JIRMANNOVÁ, Kristýna
The analysis of management of sheep and goat breeding on the organic farm is the main aim of my thesis. The herd was examine at the Slunečná organic farm in the Šumava Mountains. The animals were monitored during grasing season by force of metod ethology monitoring. Sheep and goats were monitored and it was done four times for always 24 hours during a grazing period. The method of the direct monitoring was used and the base categories of the behaviour (food intaking, lying, standing and moving) were written down by an interval method - the interval took 10 minutes. The comfortable, mother's, social and sexual behaviour were writen down as well. Gained data from single sighting was expressed absolute and percentage share form total tables and graphs. The results were interpreted on the basis of the study of special literature and legislation about organic farming and animal ethology. The way of sheep and goats farming was according to an inborn biorhythm and gave the animal free and natural ways of behaviour. The physiological and ethological needs of animals are satisfactory. Sheep and goats have the possibility to graze freely on pastures and they effect positively on the landscape management. They keep grasslands without woody plants and weeds.

Cryptosporidiosis of small ruminants
UHLÍŘOVÁ, Barbora Isatou
Cryptosporidium (Apicomplexa: Eucoccidiorida: Cryprosporiidae) is a ubiquitous entero-pathogen and has been reported in many geographical regions of the world. Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic protozoan disease of worldwide distribution, affecting a wide range of vertebrate hosts. The parasite is recognised as one of the most common causes of diarrhoea in humans and farm animals. There are 23 valid species of Cryptosporidium so far and over 60 genotypes with no species names have been described. Cryptosporidial infection of livestock may have an important economic impact on farmers because of high morbidity and mortality rates among animals. The present study is undertaken to describe problem of cryptosporidiosis of sheep and goats.
