Feed production, animal nutrition and agroecology
- operational estimation of the yield of pasture grazing in the field (in situ) by the plate measuring method
- predicting the nutritional value of feed for ruminants in INRA system
- evaluation of feed digestibility by in-situ method (rumen cultivation)
- performing feed intake testing using automatic feed boxes
- determination of organic matter digestibility by in-vitro Tilley and Terry methods with standards
- determination of the digestibility NDF (Neutral Detergent Fiber) using Ancom incubator
- determination nitrogen degradability in feed
- determination of fiber content of bulky feeds and peNDF-the proportion of the structural component of feed
- assessment of nutrient digestibility of feed through in-vivo bovine balance experiments for research purposes
- evaluation of floristic composition of permanent grasslands and their breeding in various localities, including ANC (Areas with Natural Constraints) and specially protected areas of the Czech Republic
Pedology
- performing qualified sampling of soil (including description, evaluation and documentation of the main characteristics of the soil profile in the form of a pedological probe)
- determination of the physical condition of the soil and its hydrolimites
- monitoring the nutritional and hygienic parameters of soil, the content of macro - and microelements (including risk elements), their bioavailability for plants, estimating the risk of entry of hazardous (heavy) metals from the soil into the plants
- determination of soil reaction (pH), mineral and total nitrogen content in soil, including humus horizon
- qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the soil sorption complex and proposals for its optimization in the form of targeted fertilization
- verification of the effect of additives on the principle of activators of biological transformation of organic matter on the quality of manure
- small-scale, semi-operational and operational experiments
- testing of optimal doses and methods of application of biological transformed organic matter
- evaluation of soil additives to improve the use of nutrients from catch crops
Breeding and reproduction
- solving of the current problems of cattle breeding and reproduction
- genetic evaluation of growth and reproductive traits
- profitable crossbreeding of beef breed cows with wagyu bulls and its effect on the nutritional properties of meat
Quality of animal products
- monitoring factors affecting meat quality and beef carcass
- detection of carcass composition in cattle during control slaughter and cutting
- optimization of beef maturation and meat evaluation, including marbling
- testing the quality of animal products
- quality of meat: strength and nutritional parameters (fragility, dry matter, proteins, fat)
- quality of milk and dairy products
