The quality of meat in cattle is influenced by many genes, one of them is SCD1 gene (stearoyl -- CoA desaturase). This gene is associated with composition of fatty acids in meat and milk and can influence the level of intramuscular fat. In this diploma thesis, the total of 260 bulls of Czech Fleckvieh breed was genotyped using the PCR -- RFLP method. The frequencies of alleles and genotypes were determined in this population by the SAS software and the association analysis between traits and genotypes was performed. Asociation with variability of all mentioned genotypes and myristoleic acid (C14:1) was found, with high significant value (p<0,0001), but CC genotype had a higher median value. The genotype effect on intermuscular fat and other traits was not proved.
