Distribution and growth performance of suckle cows in mountain region of Czech Republic
Original language description
An extensive grazing of suckle cows has spread in the Czech Republic in the last two decades. In the south-west mountain region of Šumava the data on beef cattle were collected on thirty-one farms from 2002 to 2006. Ten of them reared herds with more than 50 cows, the other herds contained less animals. In total 7,768 calves of seven beef breeds were recorded on the farms during the study. A majority of them appertained to Aberdeen Angus, Beef Simmental and Charolais breeds (79%), whereas Highland, Hereford, Galloway and Salers were less frequent. On sixteen farms located at a lower altitude from 426 to 600m a.s.l. Charolais and Beef Simmental calves prevailed (50% and 21%, respectively), whereas on fifteen farms located at a higher altitude (600 m to1,074 m a.s.l.) Beef Simmental and Aberdeen Angus calves were the most frequent (41% and 30%). Altitude was revealed an important factor affecting the growth rates of calves in Aberdeen Angus, Beef Simmental and Charolais breeds (P < 0.05
