The aim of this thesis was evaluate fertlility of the Zwartbles sheep in zhe flock of sheep breed by Mrs. Marie Schickerová. In the reporting period of 5 years (2013 2015) were a total of 429 ewes evaluated by the followinf parameters: fertlization, reproduction intensity, total rearing. Basic reproductive parameters were compared with the flocks originating from the Union sheep and goats of the Czech Republic. They were monitored factors that have or may have an impact on fertility. The first factor was the impact of age on fertility, selected second order lambing and the last was the influence line. The average fertility of the herd reached 197,13%. The average share of fertilization was assessed at 94,01%. Sterility reached the level of 5,99 %. The amount of the total breeding herd stood at 164,67%. Intensity of production reached 185,24 %.. Based on calculations, it was found a hightly significant effect of age and rank lambing fertility. Influence line was not clearly demonstrated. Statistical evaluation of indicators of fertility, the intensity of reproduction, fertilization and overal breeding showed differences in the average monitored herds compared with herds in the performance tests. In the observed herd these values were significantly higher.

The present study aimed to characterize through crosses the F. verticillioides isolates from the three main climatic zones where maize is grown in Brazil. The fertility and effective population size were calculated from data generated by crossing field isolates with female fertile testers of F. verticillioides. For the entire population, 231 out of 300 isolates were cross-fertile with tester isolates. MAT-1 and MAT-2 idiomorphs of the fertile isolates segregated in a 105:126 rate. Female isolates (hermaphrodites) were 96 out of 231 fertile isolates, while 135 were male only isolates. The Ne(mt) was 99% of the count for the Brazilian population when the mating type idiomorphs were used as predictors in the estimative of the population size. But when this calculation was made on the basis of the female fertile isolates the Ne(f) was 83%. When the total population is divided into sub-populations representing climatic zones, the frequencies of female fertile isolates were 33 out of 80 fertile isolates from the Equatorial Tropical Zonal Climate (ETZC); 14 out of 78 fertile isolates from the Temperate Zonal Climate (TZC); and 49 out of 73 fertile isolates from the Tropical Central Brazil Zonal Climate (TCBZ). The effective population size expressed in percentage of the total number of individual in each population for the three populations represented by isolates from the ETZC, TZC and TCBZ were Ne(mt) = 99, 100, 97 and Ne(f) = 83, 52, 96 respectively. The Brazilian population of F. verticillioides shows high fertility and high effective population size, suggesting the possibility of frequent sexual reproduction in the field. Apparently there is a tendency of higher fertility in populations established at low latitudes, represented by the tropical climate. / O Brasil é um dos maiores produtores e consumidores de milho (Zea mays L.) do mundo e a fusariose, causada por Fusarium verticillioides, seja em espigas ou no colmo, é um problema recorrente quando condições ambientes favorecem o surgimento de epidemias no campo ou em armazenamento. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos caracterizar por meio de cruzamentos sexuais, isolados de F. verticillioides dos três principais climas zonais que se cultiva milho no Brasil. Através de cruzamentos de isolados do campo de F. verticillioides, com testadores de G. moniliformis; e determinar a taxa de fertilidade, frequência de hermafroditismo, e tamanho efetivo da população. Dos 300 isolados estudados, 231 tiveram cruzamento fértil. Os tipos de acasalamento MAT-1 e MAT-2 segregaram numa proporção 105:126. Entre os 231 isolados férteis, 96 se comportaram como hermafroditas e 135 como fêmeas estéreis. Na população total, do Brasil, levando em consideração o tipo de acasalamento, o tamanho efetivo da população Ne(mt), foi de 99% da população total, e tomando por base a frequência de hermafrodita , o tamanho efetivo Ne(f) foi de 83% da população total. Quando o número total de isolados é subdividido em três populações distintas, baseado nas condições de clima de local de coleta dos isolados, as frequências de hermafroditas foram; 33 hermafroditas dentre 80 isolados férteis do Clima Zonal Tropical Equatorial (ZTE), com 47 se comportando como fêmea estéril; 14 hermafroditas dentre 78 isolados férteis do Clima Zonal Temperado (ZT), com 64 se comportando como fêmea estéril; e 49 hermafroditas dentre 73 isolados do Clima Zonal Tropical Brasil Central (ZTBC), com apenas 24 se comportando como fêmea estéril. O tamanho efetivo das populações representadas por isolados dos climas ZTE, ZT e ZTBC, foram Ne(mt) = 99, 100, 97 e Ne(f) = 83, 52, 96 respectivamente, expresso em porcentagem do número total de indivíduos de cada população. A população brasileira de F. verticillioides analisada apresenta alto índice de fertilidade e tamanho efetivo, sugerindo a possibilidade de frequente reprodução sexuada no campo. Aparentemente, existe uma tendência de maior fertilidade da população em latitudes menores, representadas pelo clima tropical.

The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the level of reproductive performance of the Wallachian sheep in the flock of sheep bred by Jan Vejčík. At first the following parameters were evaluated in 457 ewes during the period 2007 - 2011: fertilization, fertility, reproduction intensity, total rearing, infertility, rearing of lambs born and total mortality of lambs. Then, using statistical methods, frequency of litters and effect of age on fertility of ewes were evaluated and the identified parametres were compared with the flocks originating from the Union of sheep and goats of the Czech Republic. Finally, the economy sales for slaughter lambs depending on fertility was assessed. The mean fertility of the flock of sheep reached 171, 77 % and the percentage of fertilization was 92, 54 %. Total breeding flock was 143, 19 %. Seven percent of the sheep was infertile, which is directly influenced by the intensity of reproduction (158,93 %). Mortality of lambs was 10, 03 % and thus survival rate of lambs was 89,97 %. The study shows that the longer the period of existence of a farm is, the higher the fertility of ewes is (almost 179 % in 2011). Also an increasing tendency of the number of sheep twins was recorded during the study (59 twins in 2011). This indicates good welfare of the animals and generally good health of the flock. Ewes reached the highest fertility at the age of 5 to 7 years. The indicators of fertility, reproduction and total intensity of rearing showed significant differences when compared with the flocks originating from the Union of sheep and goats of the Czech Republic. Significantly higher fertility, reproduction and overall intensity was achieved in the monitored flock The difference was not statistically significant (p > 0,05) except for the fertilization parameter. Sales for slaughter lambs per ewe were affected by the share of reactive sheep and total lamb mortality, this effect was, however, only about 20 % of the total dependency. Disregarding the overall mortality of lambs and reactive sheep, it would be true that higher fertility is in direct proportion with sales for slaughter lambs.
