Legal protection of farm animals against cruelty
Kaletová, Gabriela ; Derlich, Stanislav (advisor) ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee)
Legal protection of farm animals against cruelty The thesis deals with the protection of farm animals against cruelty and its main goal is to evaluate the current state of legislation in this field, with respect to both theory and praxis. The thesis comprises of five chapters excluding introduction and summary. The summary sums ups all the findings introduced in the thesis and presents de lege ferenda ideas. The first two chapters define basic terms crucial for the topic and also introduce the historical basis of farm animal legal protection. The current legislation is dealt with at first at the international and European level in chapter three. More attention is naturally given to legal protection of farm animals in the Czech Republic, especially to enforcement of the farm animal protection laws. This enables the thesis to eventually evaluate how effectively farm animals are protected by law in our country. Chapter number five tries to answer the fundamental question behind this thesis; is the current legislation at such a level that would ensure that farm animals are indeed protected against cruelty and that would ensure their good welfare? The thesis uses knowledge from scientific fields such as ethology to be able to answer this question and evaluate the practical impact of the legislation on animal...

Methodology for use of technological waters on agricultural land: 2nd edition; Certified methodology for practice
Mühlbachová, Gabriela ; Svoboda, Pavel ; Klír, Jan ; Vegricht, Jiří
The production of technological waters from stables is evaluated in the methodology for the use of technological waters in agriculture. The corresponding legislation is described. Attention is focused on technological waters from livestock breeding and simple processing of plant products. The production of technological waters is evaluated from the point of view of individual operations in which the technological waters are produced, particularly in milking and cooling equipment. The characteristics of technological waters, particularly the nutrient contents and potential risks of their use on the agricultural land are also evaluated in the methodology. The influence of technological waters on the growth of plants and microbial biomass content and activity in the soil was experimentally verified. The methodology contains the recommendation for the application of technological waters on the agricultural land.

Usage of molecular genetics in investigation of origin of domesticated animals
Buchtová, Lucie ; Vinkler, Michal (advisor) ; Hájková, Petra (referee)
Animal domestication has been one of the most significant agricultural activities of modern humans. It allowed not only more efficient utilization of some animals, but also their breeding which led to improvements in their properties and through crossbreeding to gain of novel forms utilizable in agriculture. This artificial selection and in several cases probably also interspecific hybridization allowed the emergence of the contemporary diversity of breeds of the domestic animals. The origin of individual breeds has been, however, long forgotten and comparative morphology cannot provide us much guidance for understanding of the relatedness of individual breeds. The information on relatedness of breeds is, nonetheless, highly needed, for instance, for evaluation of selection and prediction of the functional significance of the existing genetic variability. Hence, methods of molecular genetics represent the only way how to estimate phylogeny of the domestic breeds. The aim of this work is to shortly review molecular methods which have been used in animal domestication research and outline the results which have been obtained by their application. Based on incongruences and agreements in the results of the published studies the applicability of these methods is critically evaluated and credibility of...

Farmingtherapy and Its Influence on the Client
VALENTOVÁ, Pavla
The author deals with farmingtherapy as is a special form of zootherapy which is conducted through work with farm animals. It includes not only work in direct contact with the animals but also the whole process of caretaking and breeding {--} and usually not only of one kind or breed. The work consists of a theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part, the author focuses on a relatively detailed analysis of the given type of zootherapy. One of the chapters deals with ways of practical use of this approach. The author also mentions foreign organizations focusing on farmingtherapy. Further, she includes a historical overview of this method. The aim of the practical part of the bachelor thesis was to contact a maximum number of organizations in the Czech Republic that focus on or offer farmingtherapy, and through email questionnaires asses the extent of use of this method in our country. Organizations using some kinds of farmingtherapy in their work were sent a questionnaire which was to ascertain the extent, method and level of the realization of this method. The obtained results revealed that farmingtherapy has a positive influence on the clients and that both clients and organizers were satisfied with its effects. In the Czech Republic, farmingtherapy is still a relatively new and unknown field. Therefore, it came as no surprise that the questionnaires showed large gaps in general awareness regarding this method, possibilities of further education of therapists specializing in this field as well as methods and techniques of zootherapy in general. These are only some of the reasons why the author supposes that her bachelor thesis could serve as a comprehensive source of information for practicing zootherapists as well as for the general public and become a source of inspiration for therapists working with their clients.

The utilization of the Amalgerol product on the sheep thick bedding
NOVOTNÁ, Marie
Utilization of biotechnological agents for reduction ammonia emission in agriculture is one of the ways how to lower emissions of greenhouse gases and ammonia gas and simultaneously construct better living environment for stabled animals. Experiment acknowledged its positive influence to decrease of ammonia emissions. During the first three applications occurred significant decrease, in average by 40 % in comparison with the values from the previous week. The second week of application occured the decrease also significantly by 23 % and the third week is the difference smaller probably due to the already advanced micro-life supported by the regular spray irrigation. These lowered values are maintained during the following weeks with only low bidirectional deviations of 10 %. Average reduction of the ammonium emissions in the observed years was 50, 89 % on the sheep thick bedding. By the horses bedding was the reduction of ammonium emissions by 41,84 % in the first day and 28,74 % in the second day. The sheep bedding was the subject of decomposition during the observed period, while the horses bedding was replaced as a whole at longest in 5 days. The bedding had significantly better consistency and was evenly and better decomposed after the application of the product. There were noticed lower emissions of the odoriferous gases during the clearing of the bedding in the stable. The influence of the product on the improvement of the sheep toes health was also confirmed as well as its deodorant effects. The sheep toes diseases were eradicated to the level of 77, 5 % of healthy animals. Due to the lowered frequency of disease occurrence were lowered the costs for medication by 46 %. Regarding these results it is possible to state, that applications the Amalgerol product leads to the improvement of the living environment of the bred animals and herewith the positive influence on the breed economy.
