The aim of the work was to determine the effect of substitution of soybean meal (SBM) in the grower diets for broilers with other protein feeds of plant origine. It was study the influence of substitution on growth performance and feed conversion ratio, digestibility of amino acids, activity of digestive enzymes and morphology of small intestine. Protein feeds were chosen raw full fat soybean (RFFSB), extruded full fat soybean (EFFSB), corn DDGS, rapeseed (RS) and rapeseed meal (RSM). Based on our observation it can be concluded, that inclusion of RFFSB up to 8 % level, EFFSB up to 12 % level, DDGS up to 18 % level and RS up to 12 % level did not statistically significantly (P>0.05) negatively affect the yields in fed broilers. Feeding RFFSB and EFFSB influenced (P>0.05) the ileus morphology and activity of digestive enzymes. On the basis of digestibility coefficients, the most appropriate proteinous feed for broilers was SBM, which was comparable to EFFSB.

Thesis deals with the use of soil improvers in intensive types of lawns. The experiment was tried Hydrogel product in seven variants grass mixtures, which were sown in 2011. Own attempts began in the spring of 2013, and consisted of grass biomass measurement and monitoring of the state of vegetation. Further, the course of the precipitation and soil moisture beneath the turf, at a depth of 50 - 200 mm and 200 - 400 mm. The results indicate that most grass biomass over the whole vegetation period in 2013 was considered in the version Control. Among variant Hydrogel and controls was statistically significant difference. In the terms of individual measurements, however, influence hydroabsorbent Hydrogel weight not grass biomass among treatments grass mixtures significantly. Observing the morphological differences, there was no difference between the variant Hydrogel and control, and even between different by grass mixtures. Use hydroabsorbent can lead to better water-supply security.

The aim of the dissertation was to investigate the effect of exogenous protease (EP) in feed mixtures (FM) for broiler chickens with reduced crude protein (CP) content by 4 and 8 % on growth parameters, carcass quality, apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids and protease activity in the jejunum of broiler chickens. At the same time, the effect of EP on the given parameters was investigated at the increased level of rape seed meal (RSM) in FM. The addition of EP to KS with a 4% reduction in CP did not have a statistically significant (P> 0,05) effect on growth, conversion and feed intake, quality of carcass, nor on the apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids and protease activity in jejunum of the broiler chicken. Higher content of RSM in FM with a 4% CP reduction negatively (P <0.05) affected the protease activity in the jejunum. The addition of EP into FM with an 8% CP reduction statistically (P <0.05) increased the average live weight of broilers on the 17th and 24th day of the age. At a higher age, EP has not influenced on the live weight of broilers and the overall feed conversion. Females chickens consumed FM with 8% CP reduction had a significantly lower (P <0.05) weight of breast muscle and carcass value. Adding protease to FM with an 8% CP reduction statistically significantly (P <0.001) decreased the digestibility of Pro and Tyr (P <0.05). The EP had no significant (P> 0.05) effect on protease activity in the jejunum of broilers with FM intake with an 8% CP reduction. Higher content of RSM in FM with an 8% CP reduction significantly decreased (P <0.05) apparent ileal digestibility of Pro and significanlty (P <0.05) increased protease activity in broilers jejunum.

The aim of this work was to characterize the nutritional value of the milk thistle and hemp by-products and to study their influence on selected performance parameters, metabolism and poultry health by including different doses of these non-traditional feeds into compound feeds. Study of the influence of non-traditional feeds was conceptually divided into four individual experiments. Three experiments were carried out on fattened Ross 308 chickens and one on Bovans Brown laying hens. The addition of milk thistle seed cakes worsend performance parameters of broiler chickens compared to the control group. Benefits of potentially positive biologically active substances have not been prove in chickens. In the experiment with 7% of milk thistle seed cakes in the diet of laying hens led to higher antioxidant activity of the blood and a higher number of eggs with higher weight was achieved while at the same time was higher feed consumption. The Haugh units and millimeter height of the egg was higher, but a thinner egg shell were found in the experimental group. The addition of 5% and 15% of hempseed expellers worsed feed conversion ratio and led to lower weight gain. In the group with addition of 40% hempseed expellers, was found a higher chicken weight gain compared to the control group. In the experiment with 2.5% of hempseed expellers and 1% of hemp herb included to the chickens diet, were found balanced feed consumption and feed conversion ratio. Chickens performance parameters were not affected by experimental treatment.
