The effect of enriching the diets of young quails in the direction of meat productivity with dry garlic powder in different concentrations was studied. For this purpose, four groups of one-day-old quails of the Pharaoh breed were formed, each consisting of 100 birds. The experiment lasted 35 days and was divided into two periods (1–21 days and 22–35 days). During the experiment, quails were kept in single-tier cage batteries and fed a complete feed mixture that met the recommended standards according to the age of the quails. The diet differed only in the content of garlic powder. In particular, young birds of group І (control) received...

In the context of a growing population and the increasing demand for sustainable protein sources, edible insects – particularly crickets – are emerging as a highly promising alternative food option. This article focuses on synthesizing and analyzing existing research related to the nutritional composition of cricket powder from various geographical sources, such as Thailand, Kenya, and Canada. Cricket flour has been reported to contain high levels of protein (42.0–48.87%) and fat (23.6– 29.1%), along with essential minerals such as potassium (826–1 224 mg/100 g), iron (4.06– 5.99 mg/100 g),...

Historic gardens are important but often undervalued heritage monuments. The paper presents the development of the heritage protection of the historic gardens and parks but reminds also the importance of the nature protection in the gardens. The study area is the Krásný Dvůr garden in western Bohemia (Czech Republic), which represents one of the first landscape gardens in the Czech lands. This garden is presented in European garden history context. The main focus is on the compositional analysis that has not been performed yet. Not only old maps but also historical descriptions and paintings were used to conduct this analysis. Terrain research was...

70% of the decline in agricultural production is caused by abiotic stress factors, such as than drought and variations in precipitation. Its factors can pose problems in terms of starting the small- seeded species in the early stages of vegetation (germination) and crop informing in plant growth. Camelina (Camelina sativa L. Crantz, Brassicaceae) is an important low -yield oilseed crop consumption of inputs. Camelina East considered as small- seeded species, this setting can directly influence seedling germination, growth and development. The current research East based on the study of germination and growth of sevens varieties of camelina. Germination...
