The aim of this thesis was to obtain information on the genotype and sex influence on carcass characteristics of pigs of the following final hybrids combinations: (CL x CLW) x CLW ? sire line, (CL x CLW) x (CLW ? sire line x Pn), (CL x CLW) x (D x Pn) and (CL x CLW) x (CLW ? sire line x D) with a balanced sex ratio (barrows: gilts). An influence of the genotype on the lean meat content has been proven, while the (CL x CLW) x (D x Pn) combination reached the highest values, with an average of 57.95 %. A statistical significance of differences was also found between the sexes, when gilts reached 58.06 % average lean meat content, compared to the barrows 54.70 % average lean meat content (3.36 % difference). The back fat thickness showed a high statistical significance in terms of genotype, the lowest back fat thickness was measured in the (CL x CLW) x (D x Pn) combination with value of 21.69 mm. Barrows reached higher values, the average height of gilts was 22.03 mm, 25.25 mm in barrows. In the loin eye area indicator, the genotype influence has not been proven. For gilts, the mean value of 5228 mm2, in barrows value of 4707 mm2. Content of main meat parts, or more precisely hams, presented statistically significant differences in terms of genotype. The (CL x CLW) x (D x Pn) combination reached the highest values, with content of 53.23 %, 21.9 % respectively. A significant statistical difference was determined also between sexes, with an average main meat parts of gilts and barrows 51.32 % and 48.45 %, respectively; in the case of ham 21.07 % and 19.98 %. The slaughter weight in relation to the lean meat content showed a very good value in the mass range less than 100 kg (57.84 %), but the muscle proportion 57.16 % has been positive even in the mass range 100 ? 109.9 kg.

This dissertation deals with evaluation of lamb growth ability and lamb carcass value of Romney Marsh sheep breed. Monitoring and evaluation of lambs were conducted with 18 lambs on the family organic farm of Ing. Paul Šeliga in Vrbětice in the years 2014 to 2017. In the first charter, there are listed information about the importance and general characteristics of sheep breeding in the Czech republic. Then there are also included a development, trends and perspectives of sheep breeding in the Czech Republic. In the next section, it is described the issue of growth and carcass quality of lambs. The following is a characteristic of a farm in Vrbětice in district Zlin and characteristic of Romney Marsh sheep breed. In scope of this evaluation of lamb growth live weight at birth, in 100 days of age and before slaughter was observed. In term of monitoring there was traced influence of lamb sex on growth ability indicators, more precisely on live lamb weight and lambs´ daily weight gain. Effect of gender had inconclusive impact on most of monitored live weight. With regards to the daily weight gain, there was inconclusive effect of the above mentioned indicators on all daily weight gains. There was evaluated influence of lamb sex on carcass value during the monitoring all slaughter lambs. There has also been evaluated the slaughter yield, fattiness and flesh ratio of individual body parts. Results of check slaughter show that sex factor had inconclusive impact on most carcass value´s monitored indicators. Highly provable sex effect was recorded only on live weight before slaughter. Conclusive impact was recorded on slaughter ready body weight, kidney weight, weight of lamb kindey fat, weight of shoulders, kidney ratio, kidney fat ratio and shoulder ratio. On the other hand sex factor did not have evidential influence on slaughter age, slaughter yield, subjective grading, getting meatiness, fattiness, weight and proportion of skin, back and legs. From the point of view of the quality of the right leg, there was a very evident effect of sex on the proportion of fat from the leg, the apparent influence on the weight of the bones from the leg and the inconclusive influence on the weight of the leg, the weight of fat from the leg, the proportion of the meat from the leg and the proportion of the bones from the leg.

Primary goal of this thesis is comparing microscopic parameters of muscle fibre to macroscopic trait of beef carcass by histological analyzis of tissue from Czech Fleckvieh. As the main parameters were analyzed by microscopic muscle fiber width and the width interstitial ligament. These parameters were compared among each other for verifying the measurement accuracy and also carcase weight, age slaughtered animal, and classification according to the system SEUROP. This thesis proceed comparing each macroscopic effects to microscopic traits of beef muscle fibre.

Objective of this thesis is prove the testing station of chosen combinations the final hybrids, with regard to interaction of genotype and enviroment.During testing is being watched slaughter weight, weight of the right side at hot, slaughter lenght torso, height of the ridge fat.

The content of this thesis was to draw up the literary owerview around Japanese quail breeding and fattening and to execute the practice experiment whitch aim was to analyse the efect of the inclusion of extruded flax seed to the diet for quails.

The main aim of the diploma thesis was to analyze the use characteristics of chicken hybrids with slow growth rate. Following hybrids were analyzed: combination of JA 757, who were fed until 49 days of their age and combination of Pac JA with feed length of 56 days. The average live weight of hybrid combination JA 757 was 2 169 g, the feed consumption per kg of weight gain averaged at 2 119 g and the selection rate reached 0.5%. The combination Pac JA reached live weight at slaughter date of 2 109 g, the feed consumption was 2 366 g and 0.88% chickens was selected. The value of Production Efficiency Factor was higher for the hybrid JA 757 (208) compared with the hybrid Pac JA (158). It was found out that the carcass yield of the hybrid JA 757 was about 3.8% higher (74.7% vs. 70.9%) compared to the hybrid Pac JA. Similarly the weight of the breast muscles reached the weight of 405 g in case of the JA 757 which was 53 g more than in case of the Pac JA (352 g). The leg muscle difference was 132 g in favor of the JA 757 (499 g vs. 367 g) while the weight of abdominal fat was lower by 5.5 g (44 vs. 49.5 g). Therefore it can be stated that the difference was statistically highly significant. Furthermore it was found out that cocks reached higher breast and leg muscle weight than hens of both hybrids. The difference was 33 g and 106 g for JA 757 hybrids and 57 g and 79 g for Pac JA hybrids respectively. Also here the difference was statistically highly significant and statistically significant respectively. Overall the hybrid JA 757 proved to have higher genetic potential in intensity growth and also in carcass utility.

The aim of the thesis was performance comparison of selected populations of three breeds of rabbits, the Moravian Blue (Mm), the Viennese Blue (Vm) and the Dutch rabbit (Ho), that is a large, a medium-sized and a small breed. The monitored aspects were the production characteristics (gain weight and carcass yield) and the reproductive characteristics (the average number of kits born, the number of all kits born, the number of live born and stillborn and successfully weaned kits, the rate of successful pregnancies, the milkness of the doe). The population of each of the breeds was monitored in a selected base of 68 litters of the Mm, 65 litters of the Vm and 84 litters of the Ho. The weight gain of rabbits was monitored in regular intervals from birth until the end of fattening, i. e. until 8 months of age in the Mm and the Vm and until 6 months of age in the Ho. The results were compared with the weight gain required by the breed standard. Based on the observed weight gain, a growth curve has been created using the Richards function in Excel and Statistica 12.0. The monthly weight gain of the monitored breeds was compared. The highest average gain in weight for the Mm was 693 g, for the Ho 480g and for the Vm 539 g. The results show a significantly higher gain in weight throughout the growth period of the Dutch rabbit than is required by the breed standard. The Moravian Blue showed a lower average increase in weight during the first five months of age than is required by the breed standard. High statistical dependence (R = 0,94, p < 0.01) between weight gain and the number of kits per litter was observed during the first month. From the second month dependence get lower. Since the third month of age, this dependence could not be proven. Based on the parameters of the growth curve, the inflection point of growth was established at 59.8 days and weight 1 528 g for the Mm, at 43.2 days and weight 895 g for the Ho and at 67.7 days and weight 1512 g for the Vm. The average number of kits per litter was 6.3 for the Mm, 6.48 for the Ho and 6.23 for the Vm. The milkness was calculated according to the weight of the litter at 2 and 21 days of age. The milkness for the Mm was 3 985 g, for the Ho 2 582 g and 3 176 g for the Ho. A significant statistical dependence (R = 0.97 0.98) between the number of kits in the litter and the milkness was found. The mortality rate was at a low level for all monitored breeds, with the highest (5 per cent) for the Vm , followed by 2.9 per cent forthe Ho and 1.4 per cent forthe Mm. Analysis showed the highest carcass yield for the Dutch rabbit (62.4 per cent), but a lower live weight gain. The carcass yield was 59 per cent for the Vm and only 56.1 per cent for the Mm. Overall, the results of the thesis show a bigger live weight gain in case of the Moravian Blue rabbit provided there are higher demands for housing and feeding. Its progeny shows a greater growth potential and, in some aspects, also better reproductive characteristics. On the other hand, the Dutch rabbit paradoxically reached a higher number of kits per litter and better carcass yield, giving meat of greater quality. The Viennese Blue rabbit had a slightly higher mortality rate than the other breeds but also a relatively large weight gain and carcass yield approaching other medium-sized meat breeds. The results of the thesis can be beneficial for novice breeders in helping them choose the right breed, as well as for existing breeders in helping them improve the strengths and eliminate the weaknesses of these breeds.

The aim of the diploma thesis was to evaluate the performance of commercial broiler chicken genotypes Ross 308, Cobb 500 and Hubbard F15. Parental test consisted of parent rearing up to the age of 22 weeks, the laying period up to the age of 62 weeks and from fattening progeny tests (lasting for 35 days or else 42 days). Hybrid Ross 308 chickens reached the highest live weight at the end of the rearing period. Hubbard F15 chickens had the lowest feed consumption per head and day and also the lowest mortality rate. Hybrid Hubbard F15 showed the highest number of hatched chickens per 1 laying hen (137.2 pcs), the lowest feed consumption per head and day (149.4 g) and the highest fertility of hatching eggs (9,2 %). Hybrid Ross 308 showed the highest weight of hatching eggs and live weight at the end of the laying period (cockerels 5 029 g, pullets 4 310 g). Cobb 500 cockerels (2 397 g) and Hubbard F 15 pullets (2 145 g) showed the highest live weight during the 35 day fattening period. The highest breast weight was at the hybrid Cobb 500 (516.9 g) and the thighs weight was the highest at Hubbard F15 (511.9 g). The highest carcass yield was observed at hybrid Cobb 500 (76.30%). During the extended fattening period of 42 days had the highest live weight cockerels Ross 308 (3 096 g), Cobb 500 and Hubbard F15 pullets (2 688 g and 2 682 g). The highest breast weight was observed at hybrid Ross 308 (697.0 g) and thighs weight at hybrid Hubbard F15 (707.6 g). The highest carcass yield was at hybrid Hubbard F15 (78.0%).
