My thesis concerns milk and dairy products intake by schoolchildren, more precisely, I compare the factual intake of these products by schoolchildren with a recommended daily intake. The theoretical part of my thesis consists of characterizing milk and dairy products as well as describing composition and production of these kind of commodities. Furthermore, in this part, I will deal with the issue of diseases connected to milk intake (low intake, normal intake). For the practical part of my thesis I chose a questionnaire form that consists of two separate parts. The first one is about the intake of milk and dairy products in long term. The second part is focused on the intake of milk and dairy products in one week. In the questionnaire I prepared for the purposes of my thesis there are 50 children involved. Half of them are pupils of Sir Nicholas Winton elementary school in Kunžak whose age ranges between 6 and 12 years. The second half of surveyed children are students of Business school of T. G. Masaryk in Jindřichův Hradec those students are either 15 or 16 years old. Because of accuracy of my results, the questionnaires for pupils of elementary school in Kunžak were filled by children's parents. The research was done in December 2016. After having all the questionnaires returned, I processed the results and described weekly amount of milk and dairy products that the children consume. Afterwards, the results were compared to the recommendation according to the attachment of act n. 150/2005 Sb., o školním stravování. Moreover, I put the intake of milk and dairy products into the program Nutriservis where I focused on the intake of calcium and phosphorus. Those micronutrients are important for children's body and its growth. In the end of my thesis I present my suggestions to take remedial action to the situation discovered in the thesis.
