The paper deals with the analysis of changes in the development of basic characteristics of the dairy industry in the Czech Republic, which cohere with the integration of the Czech Republic into the European Union. The attention is paid on size of the market, growth rate, life cycle, development of prices and development of foreign trade. The total domestic consumption reached 2111.1 million litres in 2004. The industry is in the maturity. The excess of supply exists in the industry; the growth rate is low, under 5% per year. The integration of the Czech Republic into the EU didn’t bring about changes in the development of basic characteristics – size of the market, growth rate, and life cycle. The volume of production changed. The total volume of purchase of raw milk for production went down by 1.4% to the value in 2000. And all prices in the product vertical – milk and milk products (prices of agricultural producers, production prices and consumer’s prices) rose.The paper is a part of solution of the research plan of the FBE MUAF in Brno, No. MSM 6215648904.

The main objective of the study was a comparative analysis of the diversity of the agrarian structure and the productivity of land and labour in the Visegrad Group countries. Additionally, the importance of the Visegrad Group in the European Union was analysed in relation to the size of the production of selected crops and livestock as well as the population and cast of cattle and pigs. According to the conducted analyses, the highest productivity of land among the countries of the Visegrad Group was shown in the years under study by Poland and Hungary (over EUR 600 / ha AL), while the highest dynamics of the growth rate of this parameter - by Slovakia (almost two-fold increase in 2010-2013). Taking into account labour productivity, it should be emphasized, that the greatest labour productivity characterized farms in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The current knowledge of factors regulating voluntary feed intake in pigs is quite limited. The objective of this study was to test the influence of the missense mutation p.Asp298Asn (AF087937:c.746G>A) of the MC4R gene on selected production traits in pig crosses. These crosses are commonly used on commercial farms in the Czech Republic. The allele frequencies of c.746G>A were as follows: G allele – 0.59 and A allele – 0.41. We detected statistically significant differences in the content of intramuscular fat in the musculus longissimus lumborum et thoracis, and a similar trend was observed in shoulder and neck. A allele correlated with higher values of fatness and G allele with a higher percentage of lean meat. However, we did not find any significant influence on either feed intake or growth rate in this study. For another mutation, p.Arg236His (NM_214173.1:c.707G>A), frequencies of alleles were disproportional (A allele – 0.02 and G allele – 0.98), only two genotypes were observed (AG and GG) and linkage disequilibrium was not detected. Therefore, we assume that the effect of this polymorphism on growth rate and fatness in the Czech population of pigs is negligible.

Growth rate of sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) juveniles and adults was studied and compared with other sturgeon species under experimental and farm conditions in the Czech Republic. During the juvenile development (0+ to 5+) the specific growth rate (SGR) decreased successively from 17.67 to 0.05 %.d−1. During the adult period of development (6+ to 13+), the SGR fluctuated from 0.0191 to 0.0562, mean = 0.0410 %.d−1. In addition, body weight condition and length-weight relationship are presented. The adult period commenced at average age from 4 to 5 years. At the end of subsequent 13 years of life (1st–13th), following values of TL/w (in mm/g) in reared sterlet were determined: 250/53, 350/174, 400/250, 440/320, 465/400, 490/462, 516/525, 546/645, 561/720, 596/860, 610/1014, 625/1199, 660/1456. A very fast growth intensity was determined in the young sterlet (1st and 2nd year) while it decreased in the older fish. Growth intensity of other reared greater sturgeon species (Huso huso, Polyodon spathula, A. gueldenstaedtii, A baerii, A. stellatus), compared with sterlet in early juvenile period of ontogeny, were mainly higher.


Subject The rally in Central Europe’s currencies despite the dovish stance of most of the region’s central banks. Significance The zloty has shot up against the euro this year; the koruna has strengthened sharply in response to the removal by the Czech National Bank (CNB) of its euro rate cap; even the forint has firmed by 2.2% against the euro since mid-December. Central Europe’s currencies are benefiting from reflationary pressures (particularly in the Czech Republic), inflows into equity and local bond markets, and positive sentiment towards developing economies. Impacts The 40-bp fall in 10-year US Treasury yields since mid-March will buoy world equity markets and encourage more exposure to EM ‘risk assets’. The 6% fall in the dollar index against a basket of currencies since early January is contributing to sharp euro and yen rises. Germany’s economy is performing strongly, in the first quarter enjoying its fastest growth rate in a year. This is underpinning expansion in Central Europe’s economies, particularly in Hungary and the Czech Republic.

Growth rate of sterlet larvae and juveniles during 2008 and 2009 was studied under experimental and farming conditions in the Czech Republic. The embryos hatched when reaching a mean total length (TL) of 9.0 mm. Larvae were fed by living food, with a gradual transition to dry diet. The exogenous feeding and the larval period of ontogeny started at DAH 9 (day after hatching) reaching TL of 15–17 mm accompanied by melanin plug exclusion. Towards the end of larval period (DAH 39–43, TL 50–58 mm), the embryonic finfold disappeared and the formation of fin apparatus was nearly completed. During the larval and early juvenile development, daily increments of TL and weight (w) ranged between 0.33–4.23 mm.d−1 and 0.0018–1.6400 g.d−1, respectively. The specific growth rate (SGR) ranged from 25.65 to 2.73 %.d−1. Growth intensity and length parameters are similar to the Starry sturgeon, lower than those of the Siberian sturgeon and Russian sturgeon and significantly lower than at Beluga sturgeon. Sterlet’s Fulton weight condition factor (FWC) was higher than in the Siberian and Starry sturgeon. The development was also observed on the basis of morphological changes. The larval development could be divided into six steps.

The paper analyses market trends of the building societies in the Czech Republic in years 1995–2003. The main aim of the contribution is to verify the following thesis:1. In previous development, it comes to the permanently increasing growth in the market of deposits and loans of building saving.2. Concentration in the market of building saving decreases.Analyses is made on two partial markets : deposit market and market of building saving loans. Growth rate index was chosen for the evaluation of the growth of both submarkets. Herfindahl-Hirchman index was chosen for evaluation of concentration trends. Analyses of the building saving market using the stated methodical approaches enables to enunciate the findings for the appointed hypothesis.Both submarkets do not show permanent increasing of growth rate in the period 1995–2003. The growth rates of both markets are declining in the first part of the period, the growth rates are increasing in the second part of the period. The concentration level of both markets is decreasing in years 1998–2003. This trend in the building societies market was influenced namely by general trend of market rate of interest in this period, by increasing exploitation of the real estate credit as a form of housing financing and by more activ credit policy used by minority building societies.The concentration development in the market of deposits and loans of building saving is not identical with the development of concentration in the market of deposits and loans in the whole bank sector. It may be deduced, that the development in the whole bank sector has been affected by the factors that have not operated in the market of building saving – decrease of banks in the bank sector of Czech Republic and educing of the part of redressed bank assets out of Czech Republic bank sector.
