Etologické sledování kastrovaných samců lam
MENŠÍKOVÁ, Petra
In recent years, the breeding of llamas and alpacas has become increasingly popular in the Czech Republic. The increasing interest in llama breeding brings with it the need to find out how these animals react to breeding in our conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of ethological observations of castrated male llamas (alpacas and llamas) with a focus on their sexual behaviour. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the field of ethology - history, division, methods of ethological research and basic forms of animal behaviour. It also describes the classification of llamas, methods of breeding, its importance and basic life manifestations of llamas. The practical part describes the results of ethological observations. This was carried out in four seasons, for four days, 24 hours a day (direct observation and evaluation of camera footage). The results of the research showed that castrated males can also display sexual behaviours, but this was only a part of the observed individuals.

Netradiční druhy masa a jejich využití pro potravinářské účely
Veselá, Romana
This thesis deals with non-traditional meats and their use for food purposes. Specifically, there are 5 species, namely crocodile, ostrich, buffalo, llama and capybara. These meats are suitable as an alternative to commonly consumed meats, but also as a dietary diversification. In some cases, they are healthier, more nutritious, more dietetically appropriate and more appealing in terms of taste. Their disadvantage is their low availability and often high price. In the food industry, they are used in the same way as commercially available meats for the production of canned meat, sausages, semi-finished products, smoked meat products, dried meat and also directly in restaurants for steaks.

Minerální metabolismus kamelidů
Menšíková, Petra
The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to provide an overview of the zoological classification of camelids, their physiological and anatomical specificities – with a focus on the specifics of mineral metabolism. The basic mineral substances, their importance and recommended proportion in the diet of camelids and health disorders caused by their excess or deficiency are described in the paper. Furthermore, the sources and requirements of these minerals, the possibilities of their supplementation and the evaluation of their reserves in the organism are described. In the practical part, the evaluation of the supply of mineral substances to the organism of alpacas bred in the conditions of the Czech Republic based on blood tests is elaborated and the values are compared with the recommendations in the literature. Based on the biochemical analyses of the examined animals, no major deficiencies were found, the situation has improved as compared to previously published results and the animals are sufficiently supplied with minerals.

Význam vitaminů ve výživě velbloudovitých
Turčeková, Radka
Turčeková, R. The efect of the vitamins in camelids diet. Bachelor thesis. Brno, 2017. The main goal of this thesis is to describe, on the basis of a literary review, the zoological classification and morfological and physiological traits of camelids with a focus on the metabolism of vitamins. Because of a number of physiological adaptations for living in their natural environment it is necessary to provide a higher dose of some vitamins (mainly vitamin D) while keeping camelids in different climate conditions. This thesis subsequently presents all basic vitamins soluble in water and in fat, describes their physiological functions and health issues related to their lack or redundance. Circumscribed specifics of the vitamin metabolism of camelids show a need of knowledge and respect of physiological traits and coherent nutrition needs of species bred out of the region of their natural presence.

Zásady chovu lam v podmínkách České republiky
Zemániková, Natálie
The content of my bachelor thesis is a summary of current information about the principles of llama breeding in the Czech Republic. It also deals with selected types of lam. Four species are mentioned, namely: llama llama, guanaco llama, lama vicuna and alpaca llama. Furthermore, there is some information about the history, present or domestication of lam, but most of the work is devoted to the requirements for their breeding, which is important before starting to breed thoroughly study to avoid some undesirable problems that might occur over time. An important chapter is mainly how to start a lamb breeding, then how their breeding environment, specifically enclosure or housing, should look like. Other important issues include skin care, hair or hooves, and the principles of overall cleaning and disinfection of the stable. Next, the Lam registration is mentioned. Finally, there are described animal products that can be obtained from llamas, the quality of milk and meat, and also statistics of llamas in the Czech Republic and abroad.

Využití netradičních druhů zvířat v agroturistice
Krejsová, Gabriela
This bachelor's thesis is concerned with unorthodox animal species in agritourism. At the beginning of this thesis there is defined rural tourism and also utilization of unorthodox animal species in this kind of tourism. In the following chapter are described biological characteristics, technologies and techniques of farming in agritouristic facilities, mainly with focus on llamas, ostriches, crocodiles and bison. A part of the thesis is also an analysis of significance of the animal farming production and animal-assisted therapy. The last part is dedicated to characterization of agritouristic facilities which engage in farming of unorthodox animal species - Lamacentrum Hády and Ostrich farm Doubravice nad Svitavou. There is also included economical evaluation of these establishments. Moreover in Lamacentrum Hády was via a questionnaire survey examined the question of adequate promotion of Lamacentrum Hády among the general public in Brno.

Parasites in Lama spp. and in Vicugna vicugna
Záhorková, Veronika ; Langrová, Iva (advisor) ; Nechybová, Stanislava (referee)
Parasites in llama spp. and Vicugna Summary This bachelor thesis is written in the form of a literature review and discusses the most common internal and external parasites in llamas of the genera Lama and Vicugna. The mentioned parasites are taxonomically classified. There is summarized information regarding the occurrence, life cycles and causes of diseases. Described next are the clinical signs and subsequent treatment. Among the internal parasites causing protozoan infections belong Eimeria lamae, Eimeria alpacae, Eimeria punoensis, Eimeria ivitaensis, Eimeria macusaniensis, Eimeria peruviana. Further including Cryptosporidium parvum, Sarcocystis aucheniae and Giardia intestinalis. Of the phylum of flatworms described here are Fasciola hepatica, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, Moniezia expansa, Moniezia benedeni a Echinococcus granulosus. The phylum of nematodes is represented by Trichuris tenuis, Trichuris ovis, Capillaria sp., Lamanema chavezi, Nematodirus battus, Nematodirus lamae, Nematodirus spathiger, Nematodirus filicollis, Nematodirus lanceolatus, further including Haemonchus contortus, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Trichostrongylus axei, Camelostrongylus mentulatus, Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, Mazamastrongylus peruvianus, Teladorsagia spp., Ostertagia ostertagi, Ostertagia lyrata, Marshallagia marshalli, Oesophagostomum venulosum and Oesophagostomum columbianum. An important group of external parasites consists of representatives of the family of Sarcoptidae and Psoroptidae, mites causing scabies. In llamas and alpacas we can encounter three types of scabies, namely sarcoptes (Sarcoptes scabiei), psoroptes (Psoroptes spp.) and chorioptes (Chorioptes bovis). The most common is chorioptic scabies, whose treatment is more difficult compared to sarkoptic and psoroptic scabies. Other mites in llama spp. and Vicugna are classified as Demodex spp. Among the parasitic insects in llamas belong sucking lice Microthoracius mazzai, Microthoracius minor, Microthoracius praelongiceps and biting lice Bovicola breviceps. For a better understanding of the issues I conducted a coprological examination of faecal samples of llamas and sheep using a concentrated McMaster method in compliance with FAO. Through examination parasites of the genera Eimeria, Nematodirus, Trichuris and the suborder Strongylida were detected. keywords: parasite, llama, alpaca

Behaviour of lamoids (\kur{Camelidae}) in ZOOs
JINDROVÁ, Nela
Llamas (Lama spp.) of the camelids family (Camelidae) occur naturally in South America, specifically in Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. Domesticated species such as domestic llama (Lama guanicoe f. glama), alpaca (Lama guanicoe f. pacos), or feral species guanaco (Lama guanicoe) are frequent inmates of zoos and zoological corners of private breeders. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the behavior of llamas in specific conditions of exposition and to assess especially spatial and temporal aspects of their diurnal behavior. The research took place in the Jihlava zoo, where one male and four female guanacos are breeded in a common run. We used the method of direct observation. Llamas were observed for 90 hours in ten days from 8. July to 19.September 2015. Llamas´ activities were observed in four sectors of their run. There were assessed five activities. We reviewed their incidence in constituent sectors too. The datas revealed, that llamas mostly occurred in their house where it wasn´t possible to obsarve their activities. Beside that, llamas often occurred in the sector three, which is partly shaded. As for activities made outside the house, llamas prefered lying and food comsumtion. Llamas´behaviour was likely to be influenced by last year's extreme summer climatic conditions, so they spent most of their time in the house and in the sheltered sector three.
