We examined to develop the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for determination of zearalenone in animal feeds. Zearalenone was first converted to 6'-(carboxymethyl) zearalenone oxime(zearalenone oxime) to get a coupling site and then conjugated to bovine serum albumin(BSA) for use as immunogen and to horseradish peroxidase(HRP) for use as enzyme marker. Antibody against zearalenone was obtained after 11 weeks of immunization of rabbit with zearalenone oxime-BSA. Cross reactivity of the antibody with ${\alpha}-zearalanol,\;{\beta}-zearalenol,\;{\alpha}-zearalanol\;and\;{\beta}-zearalanol$ were 168, 46, 26 and 20% respectiviely. A simple procedure was devised for the screening of zearalenone in feeds using ELISA. Feeds samples(5g) were extracted by blending with 25 ml of methanol-phospate butTered saline-dimethylformate(70 : 29 : 1) and the extract was filtered and aqueous filterate analyzed. It took only 1 hours to do whole procedure for the analysis of zearalenone in feeds by the direct competitive ELISA, and detectable limit was 1-100 ppb. Using this procedure, only 4 of 24 feed samples showed positive results with 3.93-7.43 ppb levels.

We have investigated the effect of short-term immobilization stress on the serum concentrations of cortisol and DHEAS in BALB/c male mice. Serum cortisol and DHEAS concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay(RIA). We found there were significantly increased in the cortisol levels in 30 min-stressed group(Ⅰ-30N) compared with control(C) group (p＜0.01), and also increased with significance in 120 min-stressed group(I-120N) compared with C group(p＜0.01). Cortisol concentrations were significantly increased in both 30 min-stressed group(Ⅰ-30T), and 120 min-stressed group(Ⅰ-120T) compared with C group(p＜0.01). The sustained increase of cortisol levels were observed in both SG treated and SG non-treated group. Serum cortisol levels were lower in SG treated group than SG non-treated group with significance(p＜0.01). By contrast, DHEAS levels were slightly decreased without significance in Ⅰ-30N, but significantly decreased in Ⅰ-120N compared with C group(p＜0.01). There were slightly decreased in the DHEAS levels in Ⅰ-30T, but significantly decreased in Ⅰ-120T compared with C group(p＜0.01). However, SG treatment did not induce any significant changes of DHEAS levels in both 30 min and 120 min-stressed group. Though short-term immobilization stress, the continuous decline of DHEAS levels were observed. Therefore, these results show that short-term immobilization stress affects the serum concentrations of cortisol and DHEAS in mice.

최근 국내 축산 인구의 감소 및 고령화가 빠르게 진행되고 AI, 구제역 등 가축 질병의 잦은 발생으로 축산업이 위기를 겪고 있고 기존의 축산 형태는 급이, 급수를 직접 관리하고 가축의 발정 및 분만 시기를 놓쳐 생산성이 감소하는 불편함이 있다. 본 논문은 기존의 축산 시스템에서 정보통신기술을 융합시킨 'ICT 기술을 활용한 스마트 축산'을 제안한다. 공기질센서, 온습도센서 등을 활용하여 축산 내부 환경을 체크하고, 자동으로 급수 및 급이기, 환기팬, 창문개폐, 생균제 분사가 작동하여 축산의 환경을 최적의 상태로 관리하여 준다. 그리고 스마트폰을 이용하여 원격으로 스마트 축산을 원격제어 및 감독할 수 있어 관리자의 불편함을 최소화 할 수 있다. 또한, 발정측정기를 사용해 소의 발정 시기를 탐지하여 생산성을 높일 것이다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the liquid composting efficiency using pig manure in different condition such as simple storage type reactor, continuous aeration reactor, anaerobic reactor and anaerobic agitation reactor. Continuous aeration reactor was the most efficiency method to BOD and malodors removal than other methods. While nitrogen loss in continuous aeration reactor was 47% of initial concentration, which was the higher amount than any other digestion methods. The digestion efficiency between anaerobic reactor and anaerobic agitation reactor were similar, but E. coli and malodor removal efficiency were a little higher in the anaerobic agitation reactor. Simple storage type reactor which was conventional digestion method in rural area gave lower efficiency than aerobic and anaerobic digestion methods in view of BOD, E. coli and malodor removal. The liquid composting efficiency which were evaluated by various indicators like pH, BOD, E, coli, malodor and nitrogen loss was high in the order of anaerobic agitation reactor>continuous aeration reactor>anaerobic reactor>simple storage type reactor.

Erythropoietin(EPO)는 적혈구 세포 증식, 분화 및 생존에 있어서 가장 중요한 요인이다. 또한, 빈혈성저산소증에 있어서도 EPO가 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있다. 태아에서 EPO 생산부위는 간이라고 알려져 있으나, 임신 120-140일에 신장으로 이동하기 시작하여 출생 후 약 40일경 이후에는 완전히 신장에서만 분비한다 EPO단백질의 분비는 오전 8시에 가장 낮고 오후 8시에 가장 높은 2중 리듬의 형태로 발현되어진다. EPO는 27개의 leader sequence와 165개의 아미노산으로 총 193개의 아미노산으로부터 분비된다. EPO단백질의 분자량은 18 kDa이나, 약 40%의 당쇄가 첨가되어있는 당단백질으로서 분자량은 30 kDa이다 N-linked 당쇄 3개(Asn-24, 38 및 83)와 O-linked 당쇄 1개(Ser 126)의 첨가부위가 존재하며, 2개의 disulfide bridges(7-161번, 29-33번)를 형성하고 있다. 이러한 당쇄의 수식은 EPO의 대사에 있어서 매우 중요하다. EPO를 가축의 소변으로부터 생산하기 위하여 생쥐의 3.6 kb UII promoter 하류에 genome hEPO와 SV 40 poly A를 연결하여 형질전환용 발현 벡터를 구축하였으며, 과배란 유기로 채란되어진 돼지의 1-세포기 수정란의 웅성전핵에 유전자를 미세주입기로 주입 후 즉시 대리모에 이식하였다. 66두에 미세주입된 1572개의 수정란을 외과적 방법으로 이식, 평균 23개의 수정란을 이식하였다. 생산된 자돈 112두중 2두(3-5, 3-15번)에서 PCR양성반응(304, 567bp)을 나타내어, 2두의 돼지로부터 소변을 회수하였다. 회수된 소변을 이용 Elisa방법으로 EPO를 분석한 결과 3-5번 돼지에서만 분만 후 지속적으로 EPO농도가 증가되었다. EPO의 최고농도는 1.1 IU/$m\ell$였으며, 이러한 결과는 CHO 세포에서의 500-1000 IU/$m\ell$의 생산량보다도 약 500-1000배정도 낮은 수준이었다. 이상을 종합하여 보면, 1) 가축에서도 생리활성물질을 소변에서 생산할 수 있는 UII promoter의 활용가능성을 제시하였으며, 2) 현재로서는 EPO의 발현량이 너무 낮아, 사용된 생쥐의 promoter를 보완할 필요성이 있다고 사료된다. 그러나, UII promoter를 이용하여 생리활성 물질을 생산할 수 있는 형질전환 돼지 생산의 성공은, 앞으로 형질전환 가축을 이용하는 활용 면에서도 더욱 더 활발할 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to investigation of the decomposition characteristics in a pilot-scale burial site of livestock in three kinds of typical soils in Korea: sandy loam soil, clay loam soil, and sandy soil. In this study, we confirmed that most of the animals in the condition were decomposed within three years as mentioned in the "Livestock burial regional environmental research guidelines." We also determined that the decomposition rate of dead cows was higher than that of dead pigs, and that the biodegradation rate depends on the soil types in the following order: sandy soil > clay loam soil > sandy loam soil. The various external environment factors, such as temperature, moisture, pH, earthiness, nutrient, and the burial depth, should be managed properly for appropriate decomposition of dead animals.

가축분뇨, 음식쓰레기 둥의 유기성 고형 폐기물의 퇴비화처리 과정의 성능 향상과 암모니아 가스 발생을 저감화 하려는 연구의 일환으로서 파이로트 규모의 원통형 회분식 분해조 및 숙성조를 설계, 제작하여 퇴비화 성능과 탈취 효과를 분석하였다. 고형퇴비화 처리에 미치는 주요요인은 초기재료의 수분, 탄질비, 수소이온농도, 발효온도 및 통기조건 등이다. 돈분에 부자재인 톱밥을 혼합하여 초기 재료의 수분, 탄질비, 수소이온농도 등을 동일한 재료로서 같은 수준에 유지하고 연속통기와 간헐통기 방식으로 퇴비화하는 동안에 분해 및 숙성단계의 부위별 발효온도의 변화, 산소흡수 및 탄산가스 배출농도의 변동, 평균통기량, 재료의 평균온도 변화, 암모니아가스 배출농도의 변화 등을 분해 및 숙성 전기간을 통해 측정하고 초기재료와 숙성재료의 주요 이화학적 성분을 분석하여 퇴비화 성능과 회비 탈취 효율을 비교하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 숙성과정 8일 이후의 암모니아가스 탈취효율은 연속통기법이 90%이고, 간헐통기법이 70%였으며, 분해 및 숙성과정의 발효온도, 탄산가스 발생, 암모니아가스 배출농도 및 숙성회비의 성분 둥의 결과로서 판단할 때 에 퇴비 화 소요기 간은 6주간이었다. 2. 탄산가스 배출농도 변화로서 간헐통기 퇴비화 방식은 연속통기법에 비하여 분해과정이 7일 정도 빠르고, 숙성과정이 10일 정도 단축되었으며 암모니아가스 농도도 적게 나타나고 있었다. 3. 퇴비화 분해과정이 지난 후 숙성과정 도입단계에서 퇴비재료의 혼합 교반에 따른 재료의 고온상승으로 인한 암모니아가스의 고농도화 현상의 억제대책이 필요하다고 판단되었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of short-term thermal stress on the serum concentrations of cortisol and DHEAS in BALB / c male mice. Cortisol and DHEAS concentrations in serum were measured by radioimmunoassay(RIA). We found there were significantly increased in the cortisol levels in 30 min-stressed group(T30) compared with control group(p＜0.01), and then declined without significance in 120 min-stressed group (T120) compared with T30. By contrast, DHEAS levels were decreased without significance in both T30 and T120 compared with control group. Though short-term thermal stress, the continuous decline of DHEAS levels were observed. These results show that short-term thermal stress affects the serum levels of cortisol and DHEAS in mice. Furthermore, we found that DHEAS is a stress-related hormone and will be able to utilize as a stress marker.

In the study, used torrefaction method to make sample from organic waste of livestock manure for Biomass-solid refuse fuel feasibility study of torrefied materials. Fallen leaves and sawdust added in torrefaction methods with livestock manure, that additives were used to improve the lower calorific value of livestock manure. During the torrefaction experiment, the reaction temperature was varied from $200^{\circ}C$ to $260^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ to prepare a sample. The reaction time was divided into 15, 30 and 45min to determine the effect of the experimental conditions on the torrified products. The additives were mixed at a ratio of 9:1 and 8:2 (Cow manure: additive) relative to the livestock manure. Through this experiment, it was obtained 3,500 kcal/kg standard product of solid fuel produced in Korea and improved product was obtained by adding additives.
