African swine fever - current disease situation in the EU
HADAČ, Pavel
African swine fever is a viral hemorrhagic disease in feral and domestic pigs with extremely high lethality. In the last decade, it has appeared in several European and Asian countries and currently has an unprecedented scale. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to evaluate the disease situation of African swine fever in the European Union for the period 2016-2020, based on the number of reported cases in the Animal Disease Notification System. During the period under review, a total of 43,634 cases of the disease were reported in the European Union, of which the vast majority (88%) in feral pigs. The countries with the highest number of reported cases were Poland (10,180), the Baltic States (9,182) and Hungary (5,799). By contrast, very low numbers were found in Greece (1) and Moldova (32). The first case of the disease in the Czech Republic was reported in 2017 in feral pigs. Our territory has been officially free of African swine fever since 2019. Although the Czech Republic has been very successful in eradicating African swine fever, the risk of re-introduction of the disease into our territory persists, due to the unfavorable disease situation in neighboring countries, especially Poland and Germany. The only way to prevent further growth of African swine fever outbreaks is to apply strict biosecurity rules in all categories of domestic pig farming, reducing the stocking density of feral pigs in the most risky areas by ordering intensive hunting, and ensuring active monitoring of the disease by sampling each wild boar to be caught.

Africký mor prasat
CHUCHVÁLKOVÁ, Karolína
African swine fever is one of the diseases that greatly affects pig breeding and can ultimately affect the condition of pigs and the quality of their breeding, thanks to high mortality and controlled killing in the outbreak. The information was obtained from the available literature, from the websites of the State Veterinary Administration of the Czech and Slovak Republics and from other foreign authors.

Legislation of Veterinary Care
Chaloupecká, Denisa ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee)
My diploma thesis deals with the legislation of veterinary care. In doing so, I tried to provide a clear and comprehensive overview of all the institutes and essentials that relate to it. Many uninformed people could mistakenly assume that this topic covers solely animal healthcare. Although it is also an integral part of the topic we do not find so much material here; the concept of veterinary work goes beyond that. Within 5 chapters we will learn not only historical contexts of development, but also international conventions or organizations. We will compare the Czech Leagl norms against the Slovak ones. An integral part of the thesis is a brief overview of sources of EU law, both primary and secondary, as well as their historical development. "Welfare", or ensuring animal welfare, is a rather new concept, but a highly important one. Thanks to animal welfare, we have begun to pay attention to animal health both physically and mentally. It was therefore obvious that this topic was briefly addressed, especially its development and implementation. The concept of "an animal" related to this topic has not been not neglected, especially in how the view of the animal has changed in recent years by amending the Civil Code. Since the topic of the diploma thesis is to concern mainly legal regulations, I...
