To develope a liquid culture media for the mass culture of Beauveria bassiana blastospore, wheat bran and soybean cake were selected as a carbon and nitrogen source, respectively. The composition and final concentration of wheat bran and soybean cake in liquid culture media were determined by the growth of B. bassiana blastospore. The results showed that the growth of B. bassiana blastospore was effective in the rate of 3 wheat bran: 2 soybean cake and in 5% of final concentration of the liquid culture media, suggesting that the liquid culture media using wheat bran and soybean cake are available.

This study focus was primarily the development of liquid starters for Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus niger prepared with wheat bran as a low cost culture medium. For the preparation of the liquid media wheat bran was added at rates of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% and the Aspergillus sp. strains were then inoculated to these prepared broths. The results indicated that the more that wheat bran was contained in the medium, the more mycelia was produced for A. oryzae and A. niger. The highest enzyme activities were obtained with a 10~15% adding rate of wheat bran for both strains. Changes in the enzyme activities of the liquid starters during various incubation times (0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs), indicated that the highest enzyme activities were seen between 48 and 72 hrs of culture. In addition, a comparative study was carried out on the production of enzymes using wheat as a substrate in nuruk, with liquid starter made from fermented agents according to the same concentrations used with the wheat bran. The pH, acidity, amino acidity, reducing sugar content and enzyme activity (${\alpha}$-amylase, glucoamylase, acidic protease) of wheat nuruk made with liquid starter were compared with those of wheat nuruk made with solid starter. The results suggest that the liquid starter is superior in both cases.

Four different silages were prepared out of citrus peel with or without supplementation with wheat bran and/or urea. Proximate nutrients and volatile fatty acids were analysed on the silages, both fresh and dried. All silages were dried and ground, and were compared with dried citrus peel (not ensiled) and wheat bran in a folding trial. A total of 360 male chicks of Maniker broiler strain was divided into and assigned to 6 treatments with 5 replications. Each experimental diet included each of 6 test material at the level of 6% and the feeding trial lasted 8 weeks, after which a metabolism trial was conducted. Results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. Ensiling increased protein content of the citrus peel on the dry matter basis and supplementing the silage material with wheat bran and/or urea further increased protein contents of the silages. 2. Adding wheat bran and/or urea to silage material also increased volatile fatty acid contents of the silages. After drying organic acid contents of the silages were reduced and there were no differences in organic acid contents of the dried citrus peel silages, differently treated, 3, Broilers fed dried citrus peel and those fed dried citrus peel silages gained numerically less weight than those fed wheat bran. But there were no significant differences in body weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency among different treatments 4. There were no significant differences in nutrient utilizability, nitrogen retention and metabnlizable energy contents among treatments. It could be concluded that ensiling is an effective way of storing citrus peel and dried citrus peel silage could be used in broiler diets up to 6% without adverse effects.

We investigated the standard cultivation substrate for Sparassis latifolia "Neowul" bred in Jeollabuk-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services. Cultivation characteristics and yield were assessed by varying the kind of sawdust and additives, and the mixing ratio. The cultivation period in larch sawdust was the shortest at 97 days. The yield was excellent (143.6 g). The findings indicated that larch is a tree species appropriate for the cultivation of S. latifolia. When the additives were varied, the yield and productivity (53.1%) were highest (116.6 g) for the wheat bran treatment. Thus, wheat bran would be an additive appropriate for culturing S. latifolia. Concerning the use of different mixing ratios, larch sawdust:beet-pulp:wheat bran ratios of 80:15:5 and 85:10:5 resulted in yields of 114.4 g and 111.4 g, and productivity of 52.5% and 51.8%, respectively. These yield and productivity values were not statistically different. Thus, the standard cultivation substrate for S. latifolia can comprise larch sawdust, beet pulp, and wheat bran at a ratio of 80:15:5 or 85:10:5. The carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio assumed to be appropriate for the cultivation of S. latifolia was 184-223. Pinheading would be difficult below a C/N substrate ratio of 105. Thus, the C/N ratio of the media, as well as the pH, would be vital factors affecting pinheading during S. latifolia cultivation.

Three-week-old, broiler-type, mixed sex chicks were divided into replicate groups of 10 birds each and fed for 5 weeks. The wheat bran was defatted and added at 0, 10 and 20% levels. A fourth group received the 20% wheat bran plus a cellulase enzyme added at the level of 0.008%. After a five-week experimental period without a marker a 24-pen battery on the four diets were supplemented with 1% chromic oxide and fed 100g daily. After a 2-day preliminary period, feces were collected three times daily from each diet group for two days at 2, 4 or 8 hours after feeding. At the end of 4 days, within each diet group, birds were randomly selected for slaughter at 2, 4 or 8 hours after feeding and the entire gastrointestinal tract was removed and ligated to form five compartments. The lengths of each segment were measured after straightening, and the gizzard was emptied and weighed. The summarized data showed that the group fed on the high-energy basal diet had the lowest gizzard weight (P〈0.05). Chromium turnover time (minutes) in the each segment and entire GI tract of chicks was not influenced by the high fiber diet or cellulase.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of wheat and wheat bran  as the source of phytase in a 5 week broiler feeding trial. One thousand day-old broiler chickens(Ross$^{(R)}$) were divided into 20 pens of 50 broilers(25 male and 25 female) each. Four pens were randomly arranged to one of the five dietary treatments: T1, control diet containing normal nonphytate P(NPP) ;  T2, T1 － 0.1% NPP; T3, T2 ＋ 600IU microbial phytase(NOVO$^{(R)}$) per kg diet; T4, T2 ＋ 600IU plant phytase from wheat and wheat bran; T5, T2 ＋ 600IU plant phytase from wheat and hydrothermally treated wheat bran. Reduction of NPP level by 0.1%(T2) reduced weight gain and feed intake but plant phytase treatments(T4 and T5) recovered the lost performance. Plant phytase treatments showed better (p<0.05) weight gain and intake than the microbial phytase treatment(T3). There was no difference between regular wheat bran treatment(T4) and hydrothermally treated wheat bran treatment(T5). Mortality was the highest by low NPP diet(T2). Availability of ether extract and crude ash of grower diet was the highest(p<0.05) in normal wheat bran diet(T4). Availability of Ca and P of grower diet was the highest(p<0.05) in T4 followed by T3 and T5. Availability of Mg, Fe and Zn was drastically improved by phytase treatments(T3, T4 and T5). Excretion of Ca, P, Mg, Fe and Zn was the lowest(p<0.05) with microbial phytase treatment(T3). Serum level of Ca and Mg was the highest(p<0.05) with the low NPP treatment(T2). Tibial ash content of T2 and T3 was lower(p<0.05) than that of T1, T4 and T5. However, tibial Ca content was higher(p<0.05) in T1 and T2 than other treatments. Tibial P and Mg contents were the highest(p<0.05) in T1. It was concluded that plant phytase from wheat bran can be effectively used to improve P utilization. Hydrothermal treatment of wheat bran prior to inclusion in the diet had no beneficial effects.

This study was carried out to investigate the physiological charateristics of Hericium erinaceus in sawdust media. The optimum temperature was $25^{\circ}C$ and the optimum pH was 5. Mycelial growth and density of H. erinaceus was quite good when oak tree sawdust were used as cultural substrates. The best mycelial growth in H. erinaceus were observed when wheat pollard was added as supplement on sawdust substrates. The optimum supplement ratios of wheat pollard and magnecium sulfate were 20% and 0.1% respectively, for H. erinaceus.

This study was performed to determine most appropriate mixed ratio of brewers dried grain to wheat bran as a nutrient supplement in the plastic vinyl bag cultivation of Grifola frondosa. In the examination of an appropriate nutrient source, the IV substrate formulation (80 : 10 : 10, oak sawdust : wheat bran : brewers dried grain) resulted in 71.6 days to harvest and the highest yield of 142.6 g/bag. On the other hand, the investigation of the optimal mixing ratio of beer waste to wheat bran showed that the III substrate formulation (80 : 5 : 15, oak sawdust : wheat bran : brewers dried grain) resulted in the least days to harvest (61.8 days), with the highest yield of 140.8 g/bag.

In this study we carried out to find suitable nutrient supplement of corncob as a main carbon source for bottle culture of oyster mushroom. Data from chemical analysis of Kapok seed cake(KP) treatment showed 20.2 of C/N ratio, $0.28g/cm^3$ of bulk density and 74.2% of porosity. Mushroom yield of KP treatment is 158g/bottle that is similar to control(150g/bottle). However, the price of KP is 400 won/kg that is cheaper than 550 won/kg of cotton seed cake(CS). The highest REV(relative feed value) also was observed KP treatment. A further study is required determine practical animal performance by feeding the corncob-based KP.
