This study was conducted to compare the heat stress response and production performance of chicks hatched in winter and summer. Among the 2,090 Korean native chickens examined, 1,156 hatched in winter and 934 hatched in summer. The amount of telomeric DNA, the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) genes, survival rate, egg production, and body weight were analyzed to evaluate the stress response and production performance of chickens. The results showed that the expression of HSP-70, $HSP-90{\alpha}$, and $HSP-90{\beta}$ genes in the winter-hatched chickens were significantly higher than those in the summer-hatched chickens during the growing and laying period (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the amount of telomeric DNA between summer- and winter-hatched chickens. The survival rate was significantly higher in the summer-hatched chickens than in the winter-hatched chickens at the laying period (P<0.01). The hen-day egg production and egg weight in the summer-hatched chickens were also significantly higher than those in the winter-hatched chickens (P<0.05). In contrast, age of sexual maturity of winter-hatched chickens was significantly earlier than that of summer-hatched chickens (P<0.01). The body weights from birth to 24 weeks were significantly lighter in the summer-hatched chickens than in the winter-hatched chickens, however, it was reversed after 28 weeks (P<0.05). In conclusion, the chicks hatched in the summer are more resistant to heat stress, with better productivity than the chicks hatched in the winter. These results suggest that the chicks grown at high temperatures have greater adaptability to the thermal environment.

Sixty-seven Hanwoo calves were allocated into two groups, 27 spring calves (SC) and 40 fall calves (FC) to investigate the effects of calving season on water and nutrient intakes, growth performance and disease occurrence for the nursing and the post-weaning period. Mean DMI of 3 to 4 mo old FC was lower than that of SC due to low temperature in winter for FC. Water intake was higher for FC (birth to 1 mo old) but lower for SC (2 to 4 mo old) than the others. Mean BW did not differ between SC and FC, but average daily gain for over 2 mo old SC were significantly higher than FC. Diarrhea was mainly observed when the calves were before 60 d old; in particular, it occurred more frequently for less than 30 d old FC compared with SC. The present results indicate that calving season may affect water intake, feed intake and growth performance of Hanwoo calves.

우리나라는 사계절이 뚜렷한 기후적 환경으로 여름철 한낮의 외부온도가 35℃ 이상이 되는 날이 계속되고, 야간에도 25℃ 이상인 열대야가 지속되는 날이 많다. 이러한 조건하에서 양돈 생산성 향상을 위해서는 돼지의 사육환경과 성장단계별 적절한 사양기술을 투입하여야만 한다. 돼지는 생리적으로 추위에 의한 영향보다는 여름철 더위에 의한 영향을 쉬게 받으며, 이로 인해 자돈의 쇠약, 압사,수태율 저하, 번식장애 등으로 생산성 저하의 원인이 되며, 사육기간 중에 일시적인 고온스트레스가 돼지가 생존하는 동안 능력의 저하를 초래하게 된다. 특히 하절기 양돈장은 우기와 무더위로 인한 돈사내 온도의 급상승과 더불어 습도의 불균형에 의한 환경적 스트레스로 번식능력과 생산성에 크게 영향을 미칠 수 있으며,돼지에 일시적인 고온 스트레스 피해는 장기간 계속되며, 생존하는 동안 능력저하를 초래하기 때문에 농장별 사육여건에 따른 성장저해 요인을 제거하는 안목이 필요한 계절이다. 즉,5~9월 모돈에 고온스트레스가 가해지면 11~12월, 다음해 1월 모돈의 분만율은 최저가 되고 , 이 시기에 생산된 자돈은 추운겨울을 이겨내야 함으로 육성률도 낮아지며, 이로 인해 4~7월의 출하성적은 최저가 되는 것이다. 따라서 모돈 관리는 5~9월이 집중관리가 필요한 시기이기도 하다. 고온 다습한 환경 하에서 어미돼지는 영양불균형과 생체리듬의 파괴로 인하여 신생자돈의 폐사가 증가할 수도 있고,이유 후 1주일 이내 발정 재귀율이 약 30%정도 감소하고 무발정돈이 많이 발생되며, 수태가 되어도 조기 배아사멸 및 흡수로 인하여 수태율이 25%까지 감소될 수 있다. 현재 국내 양돈농가에는 예년과 같이 돼지 조모성질환의 발생이 늘어나고 있고, 어려움을 겪고 있는 농장이 많은 것으로 조사 보고되어지고 있는데, 이는 농장에 사육되는 돈군이 외부환경에 대한 적응능력과 질병에 저항력이 부족하여 쉽게 질병에 노출되어 발생함으로 농장에는 돼지가 스트레스를 받지 않게 외부 환경과 사양관리 측면에 심혈을 기울려 강건한 축군을 유지하려는 노력이 무엇보다 우선되어져야 한다고 생각된다. 따라서 본고에서는 여름철에 돼지 스트레스를 줄이고 생산성을 향상시키기 위해 돼지의 생리변화와 돈사 급수설비와 사료관리 및 사육관리에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

A new cultivar, 'Bambithyang', was bred from monokaryotic strains of Sanbaekhyang and SANJO 707ho using the mono-mono hybridization method. Its incubation period was determined to be 100 days and its optimum temperature for fruit body flushing, 11-20℃. The mushrooms had a convex cap (diameter, 69.6 mm; thickness, 15.2 mm) and stipes in their center. The color of their upper sides was chestnut brown; their gills were arranged in a ripple style and had medium density. Their scales were cream-colored and fully distributed; the stipes were cream-colored and cylindrical (thick upper part). They also had cream colored fluffs and sporadic fruiting bodies. Zone lines were present when they were cultivated with mother and father varieties. Their stipe lengths and caps were 9% shorter and 16.9% thicker, respectively, than those of Sanbaekhyang.

This study was conducted to determine the maintenance energy requirements of growing goats in order to establish an appropriate energy benefit system, to reduce feed costs and improve livestock productivity of goat farmers, and to present basic data for detailed specifications afterwards. This experiment was conducted as a group specification test for a total of 3 months, with 32 goats of three months age and conducted by four treatments with different energy levels (T1: NRC+0%, T2: NRC+10%, T3: NRC+20%, and T4: NRC+30%). The average daily gain was the highest in the treated with NRC + 10% of the energy level of the experimental diet, and the feed conversion ratio was in the range of 6.3 g to 7.3 g in the group feeding experiment. Although there was no significant difference in digestibility between treatments, the digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, and crude fat was higher in T2 treated with NRC + 10% than the other treatments. Through the regression equation of the values of MEI and ADG obtained through the experiment (Y=0.5439X+111.51, R²=0.712), the maintenance energy requirement of the goat in the growing period was estimated to be 111.51 kcal/kgBW^0.75.

The bent peduncle phenomenon (BPP) is known as a kind of physiological disorders found in cut rose plants, which causes the reduction of cut flower yields. As yet unknown mechanisms, however, it has not been easy to find solutions for BPP. To address this challenge, this study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of floral morphology, growth, and endogenous phytohormone level of BPP shoots in cut rose plants (Rosa hybrida L. 'Beast'). Morphological observation confirmed the fact that BPP was accompanied by the early formation and being phyllody of a specific sepal among five sepals, which gave rise to peduncle bending in the upper part of the phyllody with fasciation. Year-round BPP frequency in 'Beast' cultivar was in the range of 5 to 20% with seasonal change, increasing rapidly with an average temperature rise in summer. Except bent peduncle, the BPP shoots appeared to grow normally in terms of speed and size of floral development in comparison with normal. However, carbohydrate distribution to the floral part in BPP shoots was significantly reduced. The level of endogenous IAA (3-Indoleacetic acid) within the floral part in BPP shoots was highly maintained during floral development, in contrast to normal shoots. $GA_3$ contents were not significantly different between normal and BPP shoots. This study indicates that BPP would be induced by a series of courses: abnormally early formation of a specific sepal relative to high temperature, being phyllody of the sepal with fasciation, and continuous supply of endogenous IAA by phyllody.
