The University Agriculture Enterprise in Žabčice is an integral part of the teaching activities of the Faculty of AgriSciences. It hosts practical lectures and training in specialized subjects, including demonstrations of the breeding of various species, breeds, and categories of livestock. Students have the opportunity to complete their professional internships here during both bachelor’s and master’s studies, facilitating the transfer of knowledge and new research trends into agricultural practice. They also participate in research activities, particularly through the development of their final theses. Teaching, internships, and professional excursions are organized for both Czech and international students. For more information, please contact us.

During their time at the demonstration farm, students can engage in the daily operations of the agricultural enterprise. They gain knowledge about general and specialized crop production, proper preparation and handling of feed, the correct structure of feed rations, and the work of livestock specialists.

The Enterprise also includes small-plot and semi-operational experimental fields (22 ha), where the latest technologies are tested, and applied research projects are carried out in collaboration with partners from both the research and commercial sectors. These fields can be visited during our field days, MendelAgro and MendelSun. Every year, projects funded by national and international grant agencies are implemented.
