Fatty acids profile in broilers feed, it is possible to influence their share in a desired structure, which can balance the n-6:n-3 ratio in food, according to the consumers needs. Flax seed to lactating goats can be used as nutritional supplement to reduce saturated fatty acids and increase polyunsaturated fatty acids in milk. A significant increase in CLA in milk was achieved by suplementation to goats. In experiment last month of fattening group of pig in five groups of pig was fed with a basal diet, which incorporated various fats (canabis oil-2%, soybean oil-5%, linseed oil-5%, raps oil5%). The indicators (food intake, body weight gain, and the conversion) were established during the experiment, and in the end, the content of essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) in pigs meat were determined. The data, analyzed and statistically interpreted. By the four experimental groups, there are, some variations of the determined fatty acids content in pectoral muscles as well as in breast skin.

In the experiment were detected changes of air temperature and relative humidity inside the free-stall barn. It is affecting the welfare of stabled dairy cows of two different groups according to the stage of lactation during the summer. The effects of microclimate individual parameters in the barn were assessed on the basis of the temperature-humidity index in relation to milk production. From the research, it was found that the animals are housed in suitable microclimate conditions barn were not subject to heat stress without major loss of milk production. The contribution includes information about the values of decrease or increase milk production, depending on the temperature-humidity index. It highlights the importance of determining the temperature-humidity index of stables. Temperature-humidity index can be a useful tool for determining of thermal stress in different sections of the barn. However, it would be appropriate this method of calculating the temperature-humidity index improved and supplemented with the other climatic factors.

The aim of the work was to obtain data and formulate knowledge about the behavioural manifestations of dairy cows in relation to the management system of feeding regime on the farm, where Holstein cows are bred. The observations took place on the 13 and 14 August, 2014, when the cows were observed for 24 hours continuously. The ethogram records were recorded after 1 minute and physical activity of cows, periods of rest, ruminating, eating, drinking, defecation, urination and comfort and social behaviour. Cows are herded for milking 3 times a day. It was found that within 24 hours dairy cows spend on average 10 hours by lying, 8 hours by ruminating, 20 minutes by drinking, 6 hours by eating, they defecate 14 times, urinate 6 times and walk about 430 meters. They are also scratching, licking each other and tail swiping (comfort behaviour) within 24 hours. The observations of the responses to serving food indicate that cows actively react to the passage of the food vehicle, not the passage of a piling-up tractor.

Regular measurement of the body surface temperature can help to assess the health status of animals. There are many technological possibilities of contactless temperature measurement of body surface. The important thing is to find the right part of the body whose temperature will point to the first possible symptoms and immediately react to the first signs of the disease. Disagreements about how to measure body surface temperature and accuracy of the method can occur when different measures are used. We review work showing possibilities of contactless surface temperature measurements using 1) thermography, 2) electronic transponders and 3) other possibilities of measuring the body surface temperature of dairy cattle. For example, when we scan the surface temperature with the thermal imager there can operate in individual animals confounding factors such as the nature or degree of muscular coat, which may significantly affect the results.

The study was carried out in the agricultural company Petrovice during the summer and winter seasons. The experiment included Holstein dairy cattle. Air temperature was measured using a data logger with sensors (Datalogger COMET 3120) in the stable. Data on average yield were taken from farm records and then processed using Microsoft Excel. The aim of the study was to determine how the values of ambient temperature affect the welfare of the animals with regard to the average performance. The air temperature is very variable and its changes animals react immediately. Measured values of air temperature in the stable are important for optimal welfare. It affects the productivity of dairy cows, milk quality, reproduction and animal health.

The health status of calves is very important for the future production of meat and dairy cattle. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the dynamics of selected hematologic and biochemical parameters in blood plasma of calves reared in different environmental conditions. Totally 120 blood samples of calves in age of 1 to 124 days were collected. The animals came from three different breeds with different ways of rearing. The total blood parameters tested in all observed groups were in the normal range. Dynamics of selected hematologic and biochemical parameters in blood plasma of calves in all groups were relatively similar. It is evident that the calves, while preserving the basic animal hygiene conditions of livestock, can cope with the effects of different technologies of rearing and environmental conditions.

The aim is to assess whether homeopathy or other unconventional methods could be used in the treatment or prevention of mastitis in cows and at the same time while measurement of basic microclimatic indicators to determine if a stable climate influences the incidence of mastitis. Experiment is performed in a herd of about 120 pcs of cows. Cows with proven mastitis are divided into two groups –the control and experimental group. In the experimental group selected auxiliary means according to specific methodological instruction were given to cows according to specific methodological instruction to strengthen the immunity of their organism. Other husbandry and veterinary care was maintained in the same usual extent as in the control group. In both groups the occurrence of health disorders is recorded after a specified period of time describing the method used and the required treatment time. During the experiment basic microclimatic parameters (temperature, humidity, airflow, cooling value) are monitored continuously.

The occurrence of coccidiosis is an enormous problem of pheasant farming. The aim of this study is to show, that this disease can be cured by unconventional dietary supplements. Dietary supplements which were used in this study were as follows: prebiotics (Biopolym), probiotics (Lactovita containing bacteria Lactobacillus sporogenes) and homeopathics. The experiment took place in the Ranč Daniela farm in the town Hůrka (close to the Horní Planá Town) from 1.7.2012 to 18.11.2012. Four groups of pheasants were made - three experimental groups and one control group. All groups were consisted of 13 individuals. The pheasant Phasianus colchicus was used in this experiment. Dietary supplements were served for two weeks, than the serving stopped for two weeks and continued again. The samples of excrements were tested all the study long using the floatation method in Sheather's sugar solution. The results were marked and evaluated. The favourable effect of Biopolym and homeopatics on the intestinal tract of pheasant was significant.

The fatty acids profile in broilers feed is possible to influence their share in a desired structure, which can balance the n-6: n-3 ratio in food, according to the consumers needs. Flax seed to lactating goats can be used as nutritional supplement to reduce saturated fatty acids and increase polyunsaturated fatty acids in milk. A significant increase in CLA in milk was achieved by suplementation to goats. The experimental groups of pigs was fed in the last month of fattening with a basal diet which incorporated various fats resources (lean seed 100 g/ kg, linseed oil-2%, raps press seed 150g/kg (110g fat), raps oil 2%). The indicators (food intake, body weight gain, and the conversion) were established during the experiment, and in the end, the content of essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) in pigs meat were determined. The data was analyzed and statistically interpreted. There are some variations of the determined fatty acids content in muscles as well as in muscles fat in the for experimental groups compared to the control group. The content of SFA was reduced and the content of PUFA and MUFA fatty acids are increased.

Poultry farming represents 30 % of meat production worldwide. The occurrence of animal parasites is an enormous problem of poultry farming. This problem is recorded from factory farming as well as from small farming and causes financial losses. The aim of this study was to gain basic data about the occurrence of coccidia in the intestines and about the occurrence of coccidia oocysts in the excrements of indoor broilers and carrier hens. Broilers and carrier hens were fed by dietary supplements which were supposed to have influence on native gut microflora composition and on weight gain. The experiment was conducted on 250 individuals of broilers. Broilers were divided into 5 groups according to dietary supplement (one group consisted of 50 individuals). Experimental groups were as follows: prebiotics, probiotics, homeopathic, coccidiostatics. One control group was also made. In the experimental groups dietary supplements were served every day from the 8th to 22nd day after the birth. The samples of excrements were tested in a laboratory twice a week. During 42nd and 57th day after the birth the samples of intestines of death chicken were tested three times (five individuals was chosen from every experimental group). Every individual was weighted before the slaughter, the samples of intestines were screened for occurrence, amount and type of coccidia right after the slaughter. The decrease of frequency of coccidia oocysts occurrence in the excrements in the experimental group prebiotics, homeopathics and control group in comparison with experimental group probiotics and coccidiostats was proved. The frequency of coccidia oocysts occurrence was the lowest by the experimental group prebiotics and by control group. The frequency of coccidia oocysts occurrence was the highest by the experimental group probiotics and coccidiostats. The highest weight gains were recorded by the control group (ø2.55) in comparison with the group with coccidiostats (ø 1.99).

The aim of the study was to explain the relationship between copper and zinc content in the soil and plants and their consequent content in blood and excrements of cattle and sheep while various forms of breeding. Apart from the Cu and Zn concentration in the soil samples we were investigating also the concentrations of the elements Ca, Mg, P, Na, K, Mn and Mo. In excrements and feeding rations the concentration of copper and zinc were investigated. Beef cows and heifers (143) without the market milk production, dairy cows and heifers (182) with the market milk production and sheep (191) were included in the project. Altogether 325 blood (excrement) samples were collected and examined. The relations between haematological indicators and copper and zinc metabolism appear more often in animals (cows, heifers, sheep) with nonconventional way of farming and it is impacted by many the impact of an antagonistic influence of elements than in dairy animals. The results also show the necessity of the controlling of the supplementation with the mineral elements accumulation in the soil samples, plants and organism.

The study was carried out at the farm in Petrovice. Dairy cows and heifers were included in the experiment. The relative humidity, temperature, cooling value environment and flow rate in stables were measured. The flow rate was measured by the handheld anemometer. The relative humidity and the temperature were obtained by the data logger with sensors. The cooling value environment was obtained by the psychrometer. The rectal temperature was measured simultaneously as further value. It was rated 3 different groups of dairy cows and heifers in 2 stables. The aim of this work was finding how this values impact thermal comfort of the animals. The temperature is the most significant factor because it is very variable value. The animals immediately react for change of this. All these measured values are important for optimal welfare of animals. They influence the productivity of dairy cows and heifers, milk quality, reproduction and health of animals.

The regular measuring of the body surface temperature can help to evaluate health condition of animals and react immediately on the first symptoms of illness. There are many of technological possibilities of contactless measuring the body surface temperature. It is important to find the right part of the body which the temperature will show the first possible symptoms of illness. This experiment with dairy cows and heifers was realized at the farm in Petrovice. The body surface temperature and rectal temperature of animals were observed in dairy cows and heifers. It was rated 3 different groups of dairy cows and heifers in 2 stables. The body temperature was obtained by the thermocamera. The temperatures were shot from the 3 different parts of body of animals (the body core, the eyes and the udder). The relative humidity, temperature, cooling value environment and flow rate in stable were measured as further independent variables. The aim of this study was finding how body temperature correlate together with health of animals, reproduction, milk quality, vital signs and productivity of dairy cows and heifers.

The aim of this work was to assess the impact of the liquid Biopolym FZT on quality components in cow´s milk and the number of microorganisms, respectively ciliates in the rumen fluid. Biopolym was, calibrated by a milking robot, given to dairy cows in a selected breeding in South Bohemian region for a selected period of time. The constituents of milk, there was a slight increase in both values in milk fat, and protein values. The number of ciliates in 1 ml of rumen fluid was higher in the experimental group (241 000) than in the control group (130 000).

The cows with the canulla were divided into two groups - experimental and control. One cow was added to experimental product Biopolym FZT, second Biopolym granules. The samples of rumen fluid and feces were analyzed. The growth of microorganisms in the rumen fluid of experimental animals means the possibility of a positive impact of Biopolym on the degradation of feeding the rumen.

The living environment distress is connected currently not only with industrial production but also agriculture is biggest producer of toxic gas – ammonia (NH3) .Emissions of that gas originate mainly in the farm animals breeding and generate within storage and handling with farmyard manure, slurry, poultry excrements and litter. Agriculture influences considerably landscape. has impact on basic effect on soil, water and air. In assessing experiment the preparation Biopolym FZT rumen metabolism and N-balance was found positive effects in terms of increased ammonia nitrogen, the number of ciliates and the reduction of N-compounds in feces. Confirmed the impact on the ammonia content in well-ventilated dairy stable. The economic evaluation depends on the exercise price of milk. In the experiments continued.

The set of samples was classified by the phenophases: before the heading, the beginning of heading and full heading. Each group contained 12 samples. The parameters of nutritional value were evaluated. The chemical compositions (CP, PDIN and DOM) were highly significantly affected (P < 0.01) by the phenophases. The best results have been reported in grass silage harvested in the phenophase before the heading. The chemical compositions CF and NEL were better (P < 0.01) in grass silages harvested in the phenophase before the heading and in the phenophase the beginning of heading against grass silage harvested in the phenophase full heading.

On the two farms were conducted operational trials with application preparation Biopolym-granulate in fattening cattle. The experimental groups were injected preparation by adding the mixed ration. Bulls were weighed regularly and after the experiments were collected and analyzed samples of meat. Experimental groups were killed in 520 days of age after control) over 600 days). In experimental groups were found value higher protein, lower fat value, significantly higher binding capacity of added water. Hence I better sensory value of meat of slaughtered animals, even when the net value weight was compared with the control group lower.

The aim of this study was to compare pasture vegetation in LFA areas located in two different altitudes. Pasture vegetation sampling was performed 1 month on two different farms (Těšov, Vlčí Jámy). The selected places were marked by three representative places at 10 m2. Dried samples were weighed and chemically analyzed by standard methods ÚKZÚZ.

The aim of this work was to assess the impact of the liquid Biopolym FZT on quality components in cow´s milk and daily milk yield. Biopolym was, calibrated by a milking robot, given to dairy cows in a selected breeding around České Budějovice for a selected period of time. It found a slight increase in the average daily milk yield in dairy cows at first lactation. Daily milk yield increased on average by about 6, 7 L, but all we can give only the product but also as good nutrition. Because the components of milk a slight increase in fat levels in milk, while the impairment of protein.

The aim of this study was to verify the effect of Biopolym FZT on the crude protein in the ruminal content. The experiment was conducted in laboratory conditions. Rumen content was removed from the Holstein breed cow fitted with ruminal fistula. The hydrolyzed brown seaweed was added to the samples of the ruminal content. After incubation of the samples the crude protein content was determined. In experiments with solid ruminal contents positive effects of Biopolym on the crude protein content was shown. The best results were achieved at the dilution of 1:2000.
