The thesis goal was to evaluate the effect of selected breeding methods in Simmental cattle herd on chosen indicators calf birth weight, weight in the age of 120 and 210 days. The thesis deals with the evaluation of differences between sex and the comparison of calving seasons 2014 and 2015 and also shortly focus on the comparison of chosen sires and the evaluation of its effect on selected indicators. Proposal of measures in specific breeding based collected and statistically evaluated data in part of this thesis. As the first, using a linear model, analysed the effect of individual factors which can affect observed indicators was analysed. Afterwards the evaluation of difference between each factors category was done. Within first observed factor which was breeding method was found, that the best results are reached by embryotransfered calves with birth weight 46.81 kg, weight at 120 days 201.11 kg and weight at 210 days 318 kg. The weight at 210 days within artificial insemination group was only 304.33 kg and within natural breeding group 297.68 kg. Furthermore it was found that bulls reach better results in all observed indicators in comparison with heifers. In the light of birth difficultness is important birth weight which was 46.66 kg within group of bulls and 43.45 kg within group of heifers. Weight at 210 days was 321.59 kg, respectively 294.21 kg in case of heifers. It was also found that in 2015 the studied group of calves reached better results than in year 2014 in all observed indicators. Live weight in 210 days was 326 kg and 295.63 kg respectively. The evaluation of observed indicators according to sires showed that a sire significantly affects birth weight; however the effect was not significant on weight at 210 days. The best of compared sires was ZSI 478, birth weight of calves was 48.8 kg.

One of the requirements for a successful insemination in horse breeding is the selection of quality stallions which produced ejaculate in enough quantities and of good quality. For this purpose were discovered methods of dealing with the evaluation of semen quality. In this dissertation was ejaculate evaluated by using an objective computerized method CASA, system SCA. Monitoring the quality of sperm was performed on 11 breeding stallions involved in artificial insemination fresh sperm in ZH Písek. 53 samples of ejaculate were evaluated. Volume, sperm concentration, total and progressive motility and sperm vitality were monitored. Volume of ejaculate was from 20 to 127.5 ml. Average values of sperm concentration for individual stallions were from 104.18 to 384.4 M/ml. Average values of total motility were moving by interval from 51.23 to 89.54 %. Average progressive motility was move from 12.99 to 47.12 %. At sperm vitality were discovered average results from 35.16 to 71.21 %. The average value of individual stallions was identical to the Decree of the Ministry of Agriculture, which sets minimum requirements for quality indicators for short-term preservation of semen. Also the quality of the semen of stallions was compared by age. The first group was made by stallions to 10 years old and the second group were older stallions. It was found that the younger stallions to 10 years had higher semen volume and greater sperm concentration. Stallions older over 10 years had higher levels of total and progressive motility and sperm vitality. Next ejaculate quality was evaluate by the time interval between samples. Regular taken from stallions is doing better ejaculate quality but the time interval between samples is important. The best values were found in samples with interval between the sampling 4 or more days. The worst quality of sperm was in the samples with the interval between 1-2 days.
