The effect of freezing rate on the quality of dried Jonagold and Idared was studied. Apple slices underwent various pre-treatments, i.e. freezing in household freezer (freezing rate: 0,5 °C/min), contact plate freezing (2 °C/min) and vacuum-freezing (3 °C/min). The quality of the freeze dried product was then evaluated in terms of water activity, hardness, color and rehydration. The freezing in household freezer (slow freezing rate) significantly reduces the duration of the freeze drying process and consequently the process costs. The slow freezing rate allows the growth of large ice crystals at the beginning of the freeze-drying process, this fact should consequently lead to larger pores and injured cell walls and thus to shorter freeze drying time. Quality of the freezing in household freezer product was assessed as higher than the quality of the other freezing pre-treated material. Slow freezing rate resulted softer texture and higher rehydration capacity, than that of other pre-treated samples. In all cases, slow freezing lead to lower final moisture content, total color difference and water activity.

Goat milk is very valuable and desired food for its high digestibility and unique composition, because contains only small amount of milk protein casein, thus is suitable for casein allergy. The aim of the study was to assess the quality of pastures located in lessfavoured areas of Czech Republic and to investigate the influence of that quality on the content of fatty acids in goat milk. Two groups of goats were fed ad libitum intake of meadow hay and concentrate supplements, for experimental group contained 0.1 kg of flaxseed. Results of experimental group shows reduced SFA and increased content of MUFA and PUFA. Flax seed supplementation has an positive effect on increasing CLA in milk fat

The two farms were conducted experiments with added preparation Biopolym FZT for rearing calves. Additions were applied in the operating conditions where the first farm was gradually calves continuously supplemented to the barn. On the other farm was loading section, and after three months, the calves are picked once. Experimental groups were added preparation Biopolym FZT to supply water for the entire group. The first attempt to farm the results were not significant due to the occurrence of diarrheal disease. In the second company in the experimental group were found higher weight + 0,141kg/day gains than control groups. Between the detected blood parameters in the control and experimental groups was not statistically significant. The results were within the reference range. The tendency Impairment of copper in the blood heifers are similar within the region and in the future could have an adverse effect on reproductive performance. On the data logger ammonia and carbon dioxide, located in the barn were no significant differences in measured values. Values of N-compounds in the feces of calves in both were statistically significant. There was a certain tendency in reducing the average values of N-compounds in experimental groups of calves.

A new housing technology double-chamber cow waterbeds should provide the animals with greater comfort improve their health and increase milk production. The study was carried out in the stable for dairy cows and heifers. They were stabled in free-stall housing. Rubber mattresses had been replaced with double-chamber cow waterbeds. The aim of the study was to determine their effect on comfort, health, occurrence of mastitis, count of somatic cells, total milk production. The study confirmed the reduction of number of animals with injuries of feet and incidence of mastitis. The values of somatic cells in milk were constant. Positive effect was shown with fluent increase in milk production. It increased the number of cows and heifers lying in the boxes.

The current development of the catering industry is due to the improvement of the processes of heat cooking of raw materials. One such area is the use of low-temperature hydrothermal cooking food, pre-vacuum-packed in heat-resistant polymer film. In cooking, spread a combination of rice, chicken and vegetable ingredients: onions and carrots, which allows you to get a dish with high consumer properties. During the study, it was determined the amount of moisture needed to reach the desired consistency of the mixture components to increase the yield of finished products, while providing maximum storage periods. The results show that the addition of water in amounts exceeding 3.0% of the total weight of food leads to an increase in the mass fraction of free moisture

The influence of cultural liquid of bacteria, Bacillus coagulans TI on the growth of several crops are studded. It was established that during the submerged cultivation on glucose-peptone medium these bacteria form gibberellins and amino acids. Pre-sowing treatment of seeds with diluted cultural liquid causes the stimulation of plants growth and improves the quality of plant biomass.

The results of critical surveys on the present implementation of confectionery products labeling are summarised, together with the corresponding recommendations for improvement.

the aim of study was to find out the influence of milking by automatic milking system (AMS) on the physiological needs of dairy cows within 30 minutes after milking. Ethological study covered the needs of feed intake, water intake and need of lying down. The need of feed intake in 30 minutes after milking was found at 75.51 % of dairy cows in the barn with AMS. The need of water intake was found at 41.79 % of dairy cows. The percentage of cows, which needed to lie down after milking, was 3.7 %.

The measurement of temperature, humidity and dew point in the selected stable, and for the comparison also in the courtyard, took place continuously from 1.4.2011 to 31.3.2012. Because of its technical demands, the measurement of stable gases took place roughly 1x in a month and that in the 24 h cycle. This work should answer the questions, how much is the stable microclimate dependent on the ambient environment - current weather, whether there are suitable conditions in the stables of National Stud-Farm in Kladruby nad Labem with respect to the welfare of horses, how much is the concentration of stable gases in enclosed areas according to the presence of horses changing and, possibly, how much affects the horse breeding the environment.

The aim of this paper was to find out what the system of the technical solution to housing for calf breeding is the most suitable from the point of view of welfare. There were compared four basic types. We focused on the comparison behavior of stabled calves like a lying and eating time. These behavior were observed in all four seasons. At the same time we observed some microclimatic conditions. We focused on the cooling value that refers to the thermal comfort of stabled animals. With a comprehensive examination of all collected and measured values can be recommended to prioritize individual outdoor sheds under shelter and calf house from lightweight steel construction, according to actual economic situation of breeders.

in this experiment it was used contactless measurement method using a thermographic camera. Surface temperatures were recorded from three different parts of the animal,(the surface of the core body, the eyes and the udde)r. The aim of this study was to determine how much the temperature values that are obtained using the thermographic camera are accurate.. Its accuracy depends on many factors such as particularly good settings of the thermographic camera, a microclimate of environment, an emissivity of measured object, the character and colour of the coat or the degree of muscles. It was also monitor the correlation of the measured surface temperatures with a rectal temperature, which is an indicative of the internal body temperature.

Relevance of the study is associated with reduced energy intensity of the process heat demand by improving the systems and control algorithms of automatic energy management in buildings. This paper presents a system for power management of individual modules with interaction via the Ethernet, allowing measuring the qualitative and quantitative performance of network communication protocols of different levels of performance monitoring in real time. The difference of the developed intellectual automatic control system consisting of separate modules with interaction via the Ethernet, there is no separation devices for simple and intelligent - all the devices are intelligent, the controller is a separate module, and its functions are performed by the control unit.

the aim of our study was to evaluate influence of probiotic agents (Lactovita) and seaweed extracts (Biopolym) with antidiarrheal effects on the prevention of diarrhoea in calves. In the experiment 22 experimental and 22 control calves were observed. The results of the observed incidence of diarrhoea in the control and experimental groups showed a positive effect of probiotic Lactovita and seaweed extracts Biopolymer. 32% of calves in the experimental group and 45% of calves in the control group became sick. Unfortunately, we could not demonstrate the statistical significance of these differences. The weight gains found in the 4th week after birth were by 37.6% higher in the group with Lactovita and Biopolym than in the control group.

the paper deals with verification of the effects of the electrolyzed NaCl-water solution where a new possibility for an alternative procedure to disinfect water is provided. The experiment was done in two chicken breeding halls where the solution was used to disinfect the stable premises and at the same time it was applied into the feed water. The effects of disinfection were verified directly in the stable premises at the interval of 20, 40, 60 minutes after application. Staphylococci and Streptococci and Enterococci were inactive always after 60 minutes of effect. There was significant decrease in the number of total number of microorganisms. An evaluation of the qualitative features of the produced chicken meat, focused mainly on the PSE meat disorder, was a part of the examination, too. After the research was finished, the chickens were slaughtered at the industrial slaughterhouse and samples of the meat were taken (gradually 157 pieces in total) from the individual halls and analysed. The determined share in water loss by dripping was the most significant of the monitored indicators, which could suggest a possible development of the PSE problem, however, the meat colour and the pH values did not confirmed this. The values of pH, colour and loss of water (dripping) ascertained, processed by the T-test did not confirm the hypothesis of the assumed possible differences in occurrence of critical values of these indicators in both groups observed.

up to date information systems collect data from technological process, facts about production, reproduction and health of animals. On the base of all figures of these measurable values and evaluation of observable characteristics we can do the classification of the total rate of animal welfare. Physical activity of animals is affected by many factors during the day, especially satisfying basic needs, i.e. feed intake, social manifestations, etc. Vitalimeter is recording physical activity of the animal, including the type of movement, standing and lying time, number of leap.

The article view on the effect of the extensive breeding conditions on health state of sheep in foothill areas of the South Bohemian region. Very negatively affects the health of sheep presence of parasitic infection in the herd. Among the factors indicative of the normal process of physiological functions and thus the health of sheep include haematologic and biochemical parameters of blood. Samples of blood and excrements were collected and divided by breeds of sheep and sampling time. It was done Faeces examination of excrements and was determined number of erythrocytes and leukocytes, haematocrit, haemoglobin, content of zinc and copper in blood and differential leucocytes count. Haematological and biochemical parameters were observed for all samples in the physiological range, despite the simultaneous parasitic contagions of examined animals.
