The effect of air temperature and time of day on distribution of Czech Fleckvieh cows within the barn was studied on a dairy farm located in the south of Moravia, CR, (49°12’31.875”N, 16°23’43.146”E). The cows were loose-housed in a barn with stalls. The floor surface was made of separated manure.

Body condition score and milk fatty acid composition in early lactation of Czech Fleckvieh cows
The development of body condition score (BCS) and milk fatty acid composition and its mutual relationships were evaluated in the first 4 weeks of lactation of 50 Czech Fleckvieh cows. Average BCS values ranged from 4.14 at calving to 3.6 points in the 4th week of lactation. The percentage of saturated fatty acids (SFA) tended to slightly increase (69.1

Joint effects of CSN3 and LGB genotypes and their relation to breeding values of milk production parameters in Czech Fleckvieh [PDF]
The objective of this study was to estimate the joint effects of CSN3 and LGB genotypes on breeding values of milk production parameters. CSN3 (kappa-casein) and LGB (beta-lactoglobulin) genotypes of 120 Czech Fleckvieh sires were detected using the PCR ...

The Effect of High Summer Temperatures on Reproduction in Holstein and Czech Fleckvieh [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the hot summer season on the length of service period (number of days from calving to the next conception). For the analysis was created two databases of twins. Twins had the same sire and dam and the first and second lactations took place on the same farm. In the first database (105 pairs) one of the

Soil organic carbon stocks and belowground biomass in patches in heterogeneous grassland
Are patches in low‐input grassland important for the storage of soil organic carbon and belowground biomass? Abstract Background Selective grazing creates stable patches of contrasting sward height, thereby providing different growth conditions for the grass sward above and below ground and potentially affecting soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks.

Influence of summer temperatures on milk content and technological properties of three cow breeds kept under identical conditions [PDF]
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of summer temperatures on the milk content and technological properties for three different cow breeds. The experiment took place between June and August 2015. We observed 18 dairy cows, kept in identical
