Heat manipulation at early age has been known to help chickens cope with heat stress later in life. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of early heat conditioning at 5 days of age on performance in broilers when re-exposed to heat stress later in life. Day-old, 256 Arbor Acre boiler chicks were housed in two identical rooms where all broilers were exposed to a 23-h light: 1-h dark cycle throughout the study and provided with feed and water ad libitum. At the age of 5 days, one group was exposed to $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours and then returned to the temperature at which control birds were maintained (early heat condition group) while the other was maintained without heat modulation (Control). On 21 days, broilers were regrouped into 4 groups (CON+CON: control+control; CON+HS: control+heat stress; HC+CON: heat conditioning+control; HC+HS: heat conditioning+heat stress), and given 7 days for adaptation. On 28 days, birds in one room were exposed to heat stress ($21^{\circ}C{\rightarrow}31^{\circ}C$) for 3 days whereas those in the other were at room temperature. Heat stress resulted in decreased feed intake, water intake, and body weight gain (P<0.05), but increased rectal temperature and mortality (P<0.05). No beneficial effects of heat conditioning were detected when broilers were exposed to heat stress again at later in life. The present results were discussed together with other studies regarding possible differences in methods such as ages of breeders and strains, which may have resulted in the failure of heat conditioning to help broilers resist heat stress.

요즘은 여름철 폭염 등의 외부환경으로 양계농가들의 생산성이 하락하는 시기이다. 닭의 고온스트레스가 극도에 달하며 체중 증가가 더뎌지는 등 폭염으로 가장 많은 피해를 보는 가축이기 때문에 고온기가 되면 계사 내 시설 환경의 중요성이 강조된다. 이에 본지는 최신식 설비로 사육환경 개선에 힘쓴 충남 부여 계림농장의 김오식 대표를 찾았다.

하절기 사육환경 온도가 상승함에 따라 젖소가 받는 스트레스로 인한 생산성 저하는 저능력우 보다 고능력우에서 증가하게 되는데, 이는 높은 산유량을 유지하는데 필요한 기초 에너지 소모가 증가하여 체온이 증가하기 때문이다. 또한 고능력우들은 높은 산유량을 유지하기 위하여 더 많은 에너지와 영양소를 섭취하여야만 하는데 고온스트레스로 인하여 사료 섭취량이 감소, 에너지 부족현상을 다른 젖소들보다 더 심각하게 겪으므로 대사성 질병 발생이나 번식능력의 저하가 현저히 나타나기 때문이다(외기의 적정온도 : 4~24℃). (중략)

올 여름은 한 달이 넘도록 열대야가 지속될 정도로 가히 '살인적' 더위였다. 폭염으로 인한 고온 스트레스는 젖소들에게 단순히 산유량 저하뿐만 아니라, 다가오는 가을철에 수태율을 감소시키고 대사성 질병 면역력을 떨어뜨려 큰 피해를 준다. 이에 농가들은 고온 스트레스를 최소화하기 위해 차광막을 설치하거나 지붕에 스프링클러를 분사하는 등 하루하루 긴장 속에 이 계절을 보내야 했다. 하지만 올해 같은 폭염 속에서도 차광막 하나 없이 축사를 관리한 농가들이 있었다. 바로 'P.C(폴리카보네이트, Poly-Carbonate) 다기능 지붕재 엠보(이하 P.C엠보)'를 설치한 목장들이다. 직사광선의 피해를 최소화할 수 있는 'P.C 다기능 지붕재 엠보'를 개발한 (주)대한철강(대표 김상국)을 찾아가 봤다.

This study was conducted to test the efficacy of plum (Prunus mume) and red ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A Meyer) marc as stress inhibitors under heat stress and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in broilers by investigating their effects on blood biochemical parameters, immunoglobulin concentration and splenic cytokine mRNA expressions. A total of one hundred ninety-two 1-d-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were divided into 2 stress conditions (heat and LPS) experiments. Each experiment was divided into 4 treatment groups with 8 replicates of 3 birds in each group. NC (negative control, no immune substances), PC (positive control, 25 ppm ${\beta}$-glucan), PM (1% plum marc) and RGM (3% red ginseng marc) treatments were administered with respective substance through water supplementation. During heat stress, The Ca/Mg ratio in PM and RGM was significantly decreased in comparison with that of NC (P<0.05). The immunoglobulin M was significantly lower in PM than in NC (P<0.05). Expression patterns of splenic cytokine mRNAs (IL-1, IL-2 and IL-6) were similar over the treatment. Expression rates of IL-1 and IL-2 in PM were significantly decreased in comparison with NC. Also, expression rates of IL-1, IL-2 and IL-6 were significantly lower in RGM than in NC (P<0.05). In conclusion, the dietary supplementation of plum and red ginseng marc improved coping ability to heat stress by preventing Ca/Mg ratio increment and by inhibiting inflammatory response in broiler chicks. However, it is necessary to determine optimal dietary level of red ginseng marc for improving growth performances in broiler chickens. These results suggest the possibility that plum and red ginseng marc could be used as the stress inhibitor under heat stress and inflammatory response in broiler chicks.

To investigate the function of the chloroplast small heat shock protein (small HSP), transgenic tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L., cv. SRI) that show constitutive expression of the chloroplast small HSP were generated. Effects of constitutive expression of the introduced gene on thermotolerance were first probed with the chlorophyll fluorescence. After a 5-min incubation of leaf discs at high temperatures, an increase in the Fo level and a decrease in the Fv level, indications of separation of LHCII from PSII and inactivation of electron transport reactions in PSII, were mitigated by constitutive expression of the small HSP. When tobacco plantlets grown in Petri dishes were incubated at $52^{\circ}C$ for 45 min and subsequently incubated at $25^{\circ}C$, leaf color of nontransformants was gradually became white and all plantlets finally were died. Under conditions in which all nontransformants were dying, more than 80% of the transformants remained green and survived. These results suggest that the chloroplast small HSP plays an important role in protecting photosynthetic machinery during heat stress.
