The aim of this study was to assess the effects bark stripping caused by sika deer (Cervus nippon [Temminck]) on production and structure young Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) forest stands (41–43 years). Production parameters, structure, diversity, dynamics radial growth in selected relation climatic conditions were evaluated. Similar other stand volumes showed lower values research plots heavily damaged (290 m3 ha−1) compared with tree stem damages (441 ha−1). A significant decrease...

This paper aims to solve the problem of erosion sediment that negatively affects quality fallowed soil through development a new type agricultural machinery. The transported will be quantified locally evaluate danger these negative effects on and functionality grass cover. Subsequently, machinery proposed for remediation eroded conservation soil. In various fallow research areas with different management methods (such as biobelts, grassed valleys, waterways), land affected by was examined,...

Abstract Implementation of various restrictions to eradicate viral diseases has globally affected human activity and subsequently nature. But how can the altered routines (restrictions, lockdowns) affect wildlife behaviour? This study compared differences between occurrences in forest area with acreage 5430.6 ha 2018 (African swine fever outbreak, complete entrance ban), 2019 (standard pattern) 2020 (COVID-19 restrictions) during breeding season. The number visitors was lower by 64%...

The objective of this article is to evaluate economic profits along with return on investment and also the impact newly designed agri-environmental measures (AEM) presence bioindicator species—European hare roe deer—in comparison conventionally cultivated agricultural land. abundance European was, average, 4.5–6.7 times higher AEM compared standard regime 3.5–6.4 in case deer 2020 2021. From an point view, highest incomes were found for extensive orchard alleys conventional crops—wheat...

The aim of this study was to compare the effect two different types oils in diet on fatty acid profile eggs layers and include a particular type oil as supplement feeding mixtures for order support development functional foodstuffs. Thirty fed containing soybean constituted control group (soybean is most frequently used added mixtures). In experimental (thirty layers), replaced with linseed at same amount (3 kg per 100 mixture). Feeding provided ad libitum all days month. After one month,...

The objective of this research was to determine the efficiency different types protective barriers and how they protect against fraying damage in extensive fruit tree orchards. Orchards open agricultural land are target caused by roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.). We assessed effectiveness four barriers: a rabbit-proof fence, standard plastic tube commonly used forestry, an innovative tube—variants with without additional rendering fat application. study situated three orchards southeastern...

The aim of our study was to evaluate the nutritional value breast and thigh muscle chukar partridge ( Alectoris ) under intensive fattening conditions. Commercial feeding mixtures for broilers were used. Live weight 60 partridges (birds not sexed) controlled during 90 days fattening. After finished, 30 birds selected monitor carcass yield. Breast used chemical analysis crude protein (Kjeldahl method), total lipids (fat analyser ANKOM XT10 ), ash (Muffle furnace - 550° C) gross energy...

Higher concentrations of chemical elements in animal tissues may be associated with tumours and explain cancerogenity. In this study, selected were measured the liver, kidneys, muscles affected by tumour a dead female European badger ( Meles meles ) metastatic ovarian carcinoma. Atomic absorption spectroscopy was used for assessment arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, zinc. AMA 254 analyser mercury concentration. Concentrations heavy metals such as As, Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, total Hg...

Agriculture in the Czech Republic plays an important role degradation of individual components environment. Reduction soil fertility, contamination surface- and groundwater, reduction biodiversity damage caused by it are proven. The agrarian landscape does not provide appropriate ecosystem functions. It is attractive for life inhabitants rural areas, permeable investors. also farmers offered applicable functional techniques, technologies procedures. These used exploited rate. Based on...

The objective of this study was to determine and compare the levels amino acids (AAs) in breast thigh muscles six species feathered game same age. experiment involved following species: wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), guinea fowl (Numida meleagris), chukar partridge (Alectoris chucar), Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica), common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) grey (Perdix perdix). highest content AAs found (breast: 815.7 ± 47.71 g/kg; thigh: 771.4 107.0 g/kg, on a dry matter...

Problem with soil erosion has not yet been satisfactorily solved a holistic approach through precisely targeted and duly explained strategic plan in the Czech Republic.Even though there are effective means to undertake needed measures, conservation grassland being one of them.The research aims contribute debate that concerns battling conditions.The idea as an tool battle is well-known by experts farmers alike.Although discussion on what should be extent country-level conditions, still enough...

Ecologically significant elements are essential not only for the development and quality of life in rural areas, but also agricultural management.Services provided by these ecosystems ensure water retention landscape, a protection against erosion an increase biodiversity.In context current political debates, importance necessity highlighting value ecologically is desirable from farmer's point view.This study inquires into costs benefits while implementing selected element -landscaping...

The objective of the present paper was to verify whether method studying anaerobic degradability organic matter excrements could reveal utilization dietary in digestive tract ruminants relation lactation period, and it be replaced by a cheaper easier acid hydrolysis excrements. Changes yields were investigated an experimental herd 30 cows divided into two groups differing their period days. results document that is suitable indicator digestion conditions animals fitness organism. However,...

Streptococcal bacteria are one of the most important pathogens causing different type bovine mastitis. In this respect, it is very to study effect streptococcal infections on cell populations mammary gland improve knowledge how prevent and treat gland. can affect processes, for example, programmed death (apoptosis) expression some receptors leukocytes such as neutrophils, lymphocytes macrophages This review summarizes information about Key words: Streptococcus uberis, apoptosis,...

The problem of erosion and degrading soil in an agricultural landscape is very significant.It most evident the areas concentrated water runoff paths, particularly on parts land blocks, where they are extremely exposed to form furrows, through which flushes arable topsoil from surface.As effective agri-environmental climate defence tool, grassing these paths soil.During this period change, intensity heavy rains increases, causes extreme events.At same time, it unacceptable loss neighbouring...
