The main objective of the project is an analysis of the potential factors affecting the profitability, milk quality and safety of milk products in the stock farming of small ruminants kept in the Czech Republic.Based on obtained results, will propose measures to improve standard of the milk quality and dairy products both the quality of microbiological and nutritional of small ruminant. The project will study contexts influence of genetic factors on fitness of milk gland and sheep and goat milk quality.There is currently no legislative process of the maximum count value of somatic cells in milk of small ruminants, so next goal of the project is monitoring the status of somatic cell count of the selected farms in the Czech Republic and subsequent recommendations for breeder of small ruminant, so to ensure milk quality, both in direct consumption and technology treatment.Furthermore, project will be deal with progress of methods for the breeding value and application of bio-economic model for economic evaluation of utility traits in small ruminants.Another aim of the project is to develop proposals for new recipes and technologies for milk processing and thereby expand the assortment and quality of dairy products that can enrich the market offer about regional attractive products (e.g. fermented milk products, cheese) as consequence could also occur to increase employment in the region. Part of the project will be established and optimised analytical method for determination of selected technological indicators of milk quality and dairy products.
