The output of Korea's livestock industry represents about 40% of the total agricultural production, making it the most high value-added sector in the entire agricultural and forestry industry. However, the fatal epidemics such as foot-and-mouth disease and avian influenza spurs demands for the advanced management of livestock production with IT technologies. U-Livestock means the application of ubiquitous technologies to livestock production. In this study, U-Livestock service models are established on the basis of the life cycle of livestock by using local and overseas cases. The objectives, contents, and structures of service models are required to be designed in detail respectively. The integration of such service models is expected to he1p modernize the livestock industry and raise the productivity of sector.

The body temperature of livestock is directly related to the health of livestock such that it changes immediately when there exists health problem. Accordingly, the monitoring of livestock's temperature is one of most important tasks in farm management. However, the temperature of livestock is usually measured using skin-attached sensor which is significantly affected by the outside temperature and the condition of attachment which results in the inaccurate measurement of temperature. Herein we have proposed new scheme which estimates the body core temperature of cow based on measured data from neck-attached smart sensor. Especially, we have considered both schemes which estimate the exact temperature and which detect the unusually high temperature based on machine learning. We have found that the occurrence of high temperature can be detected accurately. The proposed scheme can be used in monitoring of health condition of cow and improving the efficiency of farm management.

Nitrogen included in animal manure can be used as organic fertilizer if it is treated properly but it may cause serious air and water pollution without proper management. Significant amount of nitrogen losses happen in the form of ammonia when the manure staying in animal house and storage facilities and being composted and applied to the field. In order to maximize the manure nitrogen utilization, it is important to understand the mechanisms of nitrogen loss during the diverse manure handling and treatment procedures. The plant available nitrogen portion of total nitrogen in excreted manure was evaluated based on animal type, animal manure collection system, manure treatment process, and application method. About 27% of nitrogen included in excreted pig manure could be plant available if it is applied to the filed after composting process. The plant available nitrogen portion varies from 29% (surface application) to 54% (solid injection) based on application method of digestated piggery slurry. Plant can use 18% of manure nitrogen if the composted cattle and poultry manure applied to the field using surface application method. Manure treatment and application methods need to be carefully selected to control and utilize the manure nitrogen properly.

The emergence of highly contagious viral diseases of livestock and poultry such as foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), African swine fever (ASF) and highly pathogenic influenza (HPAI) have necessitated the formulation of policies and regulatory frameworks for preventing ingress of exotic diseases and controlling dissemination of endemic diseases within the country. The disease control ratings to manage contagious livestock disease in farms have not being widely used because the evaluation parameters were not being considered inappropriate. The purpose of this study was to reinforce the validity of the parameters for evaluation factors and the objectivity of the scoring criteria in the application of the current disease management rating system. The diseases subject to intensive management were improved by reflecting farm situation. For the evaluation based on the disease grading system of farms, the diseases subject to intensive management were realized, the list of diseases for evaluating the vaccination rate was revised, and the quarantine and sanitation management standards were revised. The effectiveness of the improved livestock disease management system was confirmed through the application of actual pig farms. Therefore, this system will be used as a means to evaluation the biosecurity at the farm units. Through this, it will contribute to establish effective biosecurity measures for each farm by improving and supplementing the present disease grading system.

현재의 가축분뇨처리 형태와 축종별 적용대상은 표 3과 같이 분류되며, 축분 퇴비화 뇨오수 정화방식의 고액분리 형태에서 분뇨혼합물의 동시처리 즉, 깔감축사(소, 돼지), 슬러리 발효 퇴비화를 통한 무방류 시스템으로 변화되는 추세이다. 이러한 현상은 최근의 방류수질 규제강화에 따른 무방류화 저비용 단순화를 지향하고 있으며, 무방류화의 가장 큰 걸림돌은 톱밥과 같은 수분조절재 부족이라 할 수 있다. 현재 이용되고 있는 주요 시스템별 개선안은 다음과 같다. $\square$ 주요 처리 시스템 적용의 문제제기 $\circ$ 축분발효시설 - 톱밥 등 부자재 무이용을 위한 축분의 예비 건조시설 이용 - 교반식 발효기의 악취확산방지를 위하여 밀폐형 하우스 및 강제환기 장치 설치에 의한 악취 포집 및 탈취 - 중소규모 발효시설 개발 $\circ$ 화력건조 - 예비건조를 통한 톱밥, 연료비용 절감 - 악취방치 장치부착 의무화 $\circ$ 활성오니 정화시설 - 시설 운전관리 단순화 - 1차 고액분리를 통한 유입수 오염부하량 감소 및 균일화 $\circ$ 깔감축사 - 경제적으로 흡수를 극대화할 수 있는 수분조절재의 조합비 결정 및 혼합물을 깔감으로 재이용 기술개발 $\circ$ 슬러리 발효퇴비화 시설 - 톱밥 등 수분조절재 사용량 절감기술 - 증발량 극대화 기술개발 및 소요에너지 최소화기술개발 우리나라는 사계절이 뚜렷하여 외기상에 따라 편차가 심하며, 고밀도 사육 및 지역적 편중성, 경지면적 협소, 고비용 시장구조 등의 축산환경을 고려한다면 근원적으로 가축분뇨문제 해결한다는 것은 결코 쉬운 일이 아니다. 이는 저공해 사료개발에서부터 분뇨가 발생단계에서 분리, 수거할 수 있는 수거시설, 고효율 분뇨처리시스템의 정립, 액비 및 퇴비의 가공, 토양환원되었을 때 작물생장장애, 액비, 퇴비의 유통, 가축분뇨처리 정책 및 규제법 등의 각 분야에서 복합적 노력이 필요하다.

BNR process is an effective method to remove high strength nitrogen included in wastewater and piggery wastewater. There have been many former studies about the induction of nitritation which have many advantages than full nitrification and the impacting factors on nitritation. Especially, it is reported that organic matter has a relation with nitritation. In this study, laboratory sacle reactor was operated using effluent of anaerobic digester, piggery wastewater and anaerobic digester effluent of piggery wastewater. After analyzing the operating results, the impact of organic matter on nitritation was analyzed by classified COD fractions. It was showed that nitritation is affected by organic matter especially by Ss. In conclusion, organic matter should be managed not just as a single gross parameter but in a classified form.

Liquid manure fertilizer drived from pig slurry is a valuable source of nutrients for crop production. However, there is no study for environmental assessment regarding microbial quality to apply liquid manure fertilizer. Therefore, this study aimed at quantifying the level of environmental impact on fecal coliform (Escherichia coli or E. coli ) survival in saturated soil such as paddy field. Surface water samples were collected up to 168 and 11 hours under natural sunlight and artificial ultraviolet radiation, respectively. The inactivation rate of E. coli under natural sunlight increased gradually after 48 hours. However, the inactivation rate of E. coli under artificial ultraviolet radiation increased linearly over time. Our findings suggested that the ultraviolet radiation is the limited factor on E. coli survival in surface water of saturated soil. This result will provide useful and practical guideline to applicators of agricultural soil in deciding appropriate handling and time frames for preventing pollution of water quality for sustainable agriculture.

동물에서 발생되는 질병의 수는 헤아릴 수 없이 많으며, 병인체도 다양하다. 이러한 질병을 효과적으로 관리하기 위하여, 우리나라의 가축전염병예방법(개정법률 제 4,885호; 1995. 1. 5)에는 제1종 전염병 26종과 제 2종 전염병 28종, 총 54종을 법정가축전염병(法定家畜傳染病)으로 지정해 놓고 있다. 최근에 들어, 1996년 3월에 영국에서 소해면형뇌증 (일병 광우병, BSE)이 인체에서의 변형 크로이츠휄트-야곱병 (v-CJD)과 관련하여 세계적인 주목을 받음은 물론 유럽연합 (EU)을 중심으로한 쇠고기의 국제교역에 크게 영향을 미치고 있으며, 지난해(1997) 3월에는 대만에 구제역 (口蹄疫, FAD)이 발생하여, 여러 양돈장에 급속히 퍼져, 대만의 수출주력 산업인 양돈업의 붕괴를 가져왔을 뿐만 아니라 국가적인 경제위기를 초래하였으며, 연간 약 9조원의 경제적인 손실이 예상되고 있고 양돈경기 회복을 위하여는 막대한 자금(약 40조원)과 긴 세월(최소 4-5년)이 필요할것으로 생각되고 있다. 한편, 국제적으로는 아주 전통적인 질병이며 한동안 자취를 감추었던 광견병과 기종저가 개발하여 피해를 입히고 있으며, 아주 최근에 알려진 새로운 원충성 유산증을 일으키는 네오스포라증도 확인되고 있다. 본 편에서는, 최근 국내에서 특히 문제시 되고 있는 풍토병인 기종저(blackleg)에 대하여 그 발생실태와 임상진단, 방역대책 등에 관하여 고찰해 보고자 한다.

고품질의 경쟁력이 있는 상품을 지속적으로 생산하기 위해서는 각 작물별 적합한 배양토(토양조건) 선정과 과학적인 영양(비배)관리가 절실히 요구된다. 이미 선진국에서는 분화용 또는 재배용 배양토를 기능적으로 전문화하여 산업에 활용하고 있으며, 이 분야에 대해서 가축분뇨 등 폐자원을 이용한 배양토 생산이 실용화되고 있다. 국내에서 공정육묘용 상토와 화분용, 식물재배용 배양토에 사용되는 원료(피트모스, 펄라이트, 암면 등)는 거의 대부분 외국으로부터 수입에 의존하고 있으며, 국내의 대규모 기업형 축사 또는 돈사에서 발생되는 축분은 환경오염의 근원이 되나 충분히 부숙 또는 특수가공처리를 한다면 필요한 배양토 조제에 효율적이고 기능적인 자원으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 평가되고 있다.
