Produkce a zpracování drůbeže v české republice
SIAWELA, Saviour
2022 - English The absolute and most fundamental aim of this bachelor's thesis is to compare and understand the production and processing measures of broiler parent combination and their offspring for the desirable breeding type for commercial breeders of broiler chickens COBB 500 and ROSS 308 in that order. The data was obtained from Mezinárodní testování drůbeže, státní podnik (International poultry testing, state enterprise) in Ústrašice. Parent testing of COBB 500 and ROSS 308 consisted of parent rearing periods of up to 154 days of age respectively. The fattening test was made in two sets of 35 days and 42 days in that order. Testing evidence results suggested that ROSS 308 chickens obtained a quite substantial live body mass/weight compared to COBB 500 on due ending course of the set rearing period in parent testing. However, lower feed consumption per head/day was realized in COBB 500 hybrids with reference to this period respectively. In addition to that, lower feed consumption was observed per day/head in COBB 500 hybrids during the laying period. Despite the deduced observations though, a higher egg number/hen housed was laid by ROSS 308 hens but the live hatched chickens per laying hen were higher in COBB 500 hens. Higher live body mass/weight and lower feed consumption per kg gain hybrids were realized in ROSS 308 at the fattening test period of 35 days of age. On the other hand, roosters of both hybrid combinations COBB 500 and ROSS 308 gained a higher live body mass/weight and lower feed consumption per kg gain. 2.3 % of chickens died during the fattening period in each hybrid combination. Higher carcass yield, breast, and thighs muscle mass were in this work determined in ROSS 308 hybrids. This is because ROSS 308 hybrids successfully attained a higher live body/weight of at least about 14 g during a prolonged fattening testing period of 42 days of age. Higher live body mass/weight however and lower feed consumption was determined in cocks obviously in comparison with hens in both genotypes. In that order,4.6 % of COBB 500 chickens and 5.4 % of ROSS 308 chickens died during the fattening period due to improper ventilation yet a very imperative factor to animal welfare at large. genotypic difference between COBB 500 and ROSS 308 was at 0.2 % in slaughter yield, 7 g in breast mass, and 9 g in thighs weight respectively. Cílem bakalářské práce je porovnat a porozumět produkčním a zpracovatelským opatřením kombinace rodičů brojlerů a jejich potomků pro žádoucí typ chovu pro komerční chovatele brojlerových kuřat COBB 500 a ROSS 308. Údaje byly získány z Mezinárodního testování drůbeže, státního podniku v Ústrašicích. Testování rodičů hybridů COBB 500 a ROSS 308 se sestávalo z období odchovu rodičů do věku 154 dnů a snášky. Byly provedeny dva výkrmové testy ukončené ve 35 dnech, resp. ve 42 dnech. Výsledky testů naznačily, že kuřata ROSS 308 vykázala vyšší živou hmotnost ve srovnání s kuřaty COBB 500 v období odchovu v rodičovském testu. Nižší spotřeba krmné směsi byla realizována u hybridů COBB 500 v tomto období. Kromě toho byla pozorována nižší spotřeba krmné směsi na den u hybridů COBB 500 během období snášky. Vyšší počet vajec byl vykázán u slepic ROSS 308, ale počet vylíhlých kuřat na 1 nosnici byl vyšší u slepic COBB 500. Vyšší živá hmotnost a nižší spotřeba krmné směsi na 1 kg přírůstku hybridů byly dosaženy u ROSS 308 ve výkrmovém testu do období 35 dnů věku. Na druhou stranu kohoutci obou hybridních kombinací COBB 500 a ROSS 308 měli vyšší živou hmotnost a nižší spotřebu krmné směsi na kg 1 přírůstku. V každé hybridní kombinaci uhynulo během období výkrmu 2,3 % kuřat. U hybridů ROSS 308 byla zjištěna vyšší jatečná výtěžnost a vyšší hmotnost prsní a stehenní svaloviny. Bylo tomu tak proto, že hybridi ROSS 308 dosáhli vyšší živou hmotnost o 14 g během prodlouženého období testu výkrmnosti ve věku 42 dnů. U kohoutků však byla zjištěna vyšší živá hmotnost a nižší spotřeba krmné směsi ve srovnání se slepičkami obou genotypů. Během období výkrmového testu uhynulo 4,6 % kuřat COBB 500 a 5,4 % kuřat ROSS 308 v důsledku nesprávné ventilace, což je velmi důležitý faktor pro dobré životní podmínky zvířat obecně. Diference mezi hybridy COBB 500 a ROSS 308 byla 0,2 % v jatečně výtěžnosti, 7 g v hmotnosti prsní svaloviny a 9 g v hmotnosti stehenní svaloviny. Keywords: COBB 500; ROSS 308; živá hmotnost; jatečná výtěžnost; kohouti; slepice; jatečně opracované tělo. Available in the Digital Repository of University of South Bohemia.

Extracelulární váčky během ontogeneze tasemnice \kur{Schistocephalus solidus.}
BUŠKOVÁ, Nikol
2021 - English This bachelor thesis focuses on extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are small transport units derived from membranes and released by a variety of cells. Based on their biogenesis, two main classes were observed. First class, referred to as exosomes, are vesicles formed during an endosomal pathway and released by multivesicular bodies. The second class, microvesicles, are formed by a direct budding of the plasma membrane. We focused on EVs of different life stages of the tapeworm Schistocephalus solidus (Cestoda: Diphyllobothriidae), a parasite of fish-eating birds with a three-host life cycle. For our experiments, a full life cycle of S. solidus was established under laboratory conditions. EVs secretion was studied in procercoids fom copepods, plerocercoids from fish and adults from the cultivation medium. We have observed biogenesis of EVs on the surface of procercoid and plerocercoids of S. solidus using transmission electron microscopy and successfully purified EVs from the cultivation medium. Furthermore, we observed differences in secretory activity during the maturation of plerocercoids and a difference in releasing EVs from different parts of the the tapeworm surface.

Localization of the F1-ATP Synthase Subunit alpha and its N' and C' Terminal Fragments in Trypanosoma brucei cells
LEHMAYER, Leonie
2018 - English In this thesis, we explored if the proteolytically excised octapeptide from the Trypanosoma brucei F1-ATP synthase subunit can act as a mitochondrial targeting sequence. Three procyclic 29.13 T. brucei cell lines were generated to express tagged variants of the subunit. We then determined where these heterologous proteins were localized within the parasite. This preliminary data provides insights about where the subunit proteolytic cleavage events occur within the cell.
