This study was designed to evaluate the changes in sperm motility, viability, HOST(hypo-osmotic swelling test), IVP(in vitro penetration), SCSA(sperm chromatin structure assay) during storage of liquid semen collected from boars with different farrowing rates using AI, and to find the relationship between boar fertility through AI and sperm diagnostic parameters during semen storage. The results of HOST were significantly decreased according to the increasing of in semen storage days and the results of IVP were significantly decreased at 3 days of semen storage (P<0.05). The %Red was significantly different among the >80%, 70󰠏80% and <70% farrowing rate group at semen storage day 6(P<0.05). The correlation coefficients between the %Red and farrowing rate were increased according to the semen storage. In conclusion, these results suggest that the sperm parameters evaluated in these studies may be useful indicators to predict the fertility of AI and evaluate the semen quality in boars.

본 연구는 이유한 경산돈의 발정동기화방법이 번식성적에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 대조구(자연발정), T1(Regumate＋PMSG＋hCG), T2(PMSG＋hCG) 및 T3(PG600)처리구로 발정을 유기한 후 12시간 간격으로 2회 인공수정 하여 수태율, 분만율 및 산자수를 조사하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 액상정액은 축산기술연구소 돼지인공수정센타의 종모돈 5두 정액을 혼합하여 이용하였으며, BTS(Beltsville thawing solution) 보존액으로 1회 주입 정자농도를 3.0$\times$$10^{9}$이 되도록 조절하였다. 수태율은 72구가 95.2%, 73처리구가 93.6%로 발정동기화 유도하지 않는 대조구의 91.3%보다 다소 높은 수태율을 나타내었으나 통계적인 유의차는 없었으며, T1 동기화 방법이 87.2%로 가장 낮은 수태율을 나타내었다(P<0.05). 분만율은 T2처리구가 90.4%로 가장 높았으며(P<0.05), T3구는 수태율은 높았으나 분만율이 가장 낮게 조사된 것은 임신 확인 후 각종 사고로 인한 조기 도태 매각 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 복당 평균 총산자수는 대조구에 비하여 발정 동기화유도 처리구 모두 증가하였으나 통계적인 유의차는 인정되지 않았다.

This study was designed to investigate between the semen characteristics and sperm chromatin structure in boar with different farrowing rates and relationship between fertility by AI and results of sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA). The CASA (computer-aided sperm analysis) and SCSA were performed with liquid semen in boars. The all SCSA parameters based on the farrowing rates by AI were significantly differ (P<0.05). The significant negative correlations (P<0.05) were observed between all SCSA parameters and farrowing rate obtained by AI in the field. In conclusion, these results suggest that the sperm parameters evaluated in these studies may be useful indicators to predict the fertility by AI.

체세포 복제기법에 의한 복제란 이식우는 수태율이 매우 낮은 것으로 보고되어 있으며, 분만지연 및 유ㆍ사산의 발생율이 높은 실정이므로, 이에 대한 근본적인 원인 분석이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 체세포 복제 한우의 수태율이 낮은 원인을 규명하고, 특히 분만직후의 체세포 복제 송아지의 생존율을 증진하기 위해 복제란 이식우의 임신 말기의 생리적 특성을 검토하였다. (중략)

This study determined the effects of twin birth on subsequent postpartum disorders, culling and reproductive performance, and its risk factors in dairy cows. Detailed data related to reproduction, health, and calving events, including dates of artificial insemination (AI) and calving, hormonal treatment prior to conception, cow parity, twin birth, retained placenta, metabolic disorders, and endometritis were collected from 1,717 individual calvings on 9 dairy farms. The incidence rate of twin birth was 3.4%. Gestation length was shorter in cows with twin birth ($270.6{\pm}2.0$ days) than cows giving birth to singletons ($279.5{\pm}0.2$ days, P < 0.01). The incidence of retained placenta (47.5 vs. 16.0%), metabolic disorders (18.6 vs. 3.8%) endometritis (62.7 vs. 28.2%), and culling rate (32.2 vs. 16.5%) was greater in cows with twin birth than in cows giving birth to singletons, respectively (P < 0.01). The hazard of pregnancy (adjusted hazard ratio, AHR) by 210 days in milk analyzed using Cox proportional hazards model was affected by calving season, in that the rate of pregnancy for cows calved during spring was less than for cows calved during winter (AHR = 0.80; P = 0.01); this was also true for endometritis (AHR = 0.46, P < 0.01). AHR was not affected by twin birth. Logistic analysis demonstrated that increasing the cow parity (P < 0.01) and hormonal treatment prior to conception (adjusted odds ratio, AOR = 1.84, P < 0.05) increased the risk of twin birth. These results demonstrate that twin births are responsible for severe economic losses through the increased occurrence of postpartum disorders and culling; thus, appropriate management for the deleterious impact of twin birth, and/or reducing the risk factors by herd control regarding cow parity and the use of reproductive hormones prior to conception might be necessary.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different farrowing space, narrow and wide, on the sow performances and piglet growth performances. The $1.5m^2$ of narrow farrowing space was determined as the size of farrowing crate. The $3.0m^2$ of wide space for farrowing sow was the same of farrowing pen to allow the behavior freedom of sow. Baby piglets in the wide farrowing space was protected from crushing of sow by installation of safety bar. The pregnant sows used in this study were stall-housed during gestation and moved to each farrowing spaces on 8 d before parturition. Feed intake, backfat thickness and body condition score of sow were not affected by both farrowing spaces. However, the changes in backfat thickness and body condition score between farrowing and weaning in wide farrowing space were lower (p<0.05) than in narrow farrowing space. The return to estrus of sow was remarkably decreased in wide farrowing space compared to sows in narrow farrowing space. The lower number of stillbirth and higher mortality of piglets were observed in wide farrowing space. From the results, although wide farrowing space could be practically acceptable in terms of sow performances, possible cause of mortality of piglets should be scrutinized through observation of piglet and sow behaviors.

본 연구는 한우 복제수정란의 이식에 의해 고능력 복제한우를 생산할 수 있는 효율과 산자의 성장능력을 검정하기 위해 수행되었다. 고능력 한우의 귀세포를 이용하여 체세포복제수정란을 생산하였고 그 신선수정란을 대리모에 이식한 결과는 다음과 같다. 2000년 (n=35)과 2001년 (n=121)에 이식한 복제소의 분만율은 각각 5.71%, 8.26%로 나타났다. 복제송아지의 임신기간은 평균 287일 (279~295일)이었으며 같은 기간내 인공수정 우군의 평균 임신기간인 287일 (255~293)과 동일하였다. 복제송아지의 분만시 사산율은 6.67%였으며, 인공수정시의 94.44%와 비슷하였다. 그러나 분만후 복제송아지의 생존율은 36.67%로서 인공수정의 100% 보다 매우 낮았다. 그리고 태어난 후 200일 이상 생존한 송아지의 생시 평균체중은 28.25kg (AI 23.67kg)이었고, 복제송아지의 경우 생시체중이 표준체중보다 적거나 (<20kg) 또는 거대체중 (>35kg)의 경우는 분만후 대부분 사망하였다. 상기 결과에 의해 현재의 복제기술에 의한 한우 생산효율은 아주 낮고 분만 후 거대체중등 비정상인 경우가 많아 생존율이 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 이에 대한 원인구명에 관한 기초연구의 확대가 요망된다.

수정란 이식의 효율 증진을 위해서는 수태율의 증진 성공적 분만과 송아지 육성에 있다. 수태율의 증진을 위해서는 사양관리가 양호하고 번식기능이 좋은 수란우의 선발, 임신에 적합한 양질의 수정란, 수란우와 수정란의 동기화 정도와 이식 시술자의 기술력 등이 잘 조화를 이루는 것이 절대적으로 필요하다. 적절한 수란우의 선발과 양질의 수정란을 수정란 이식에 적용하는 것은 수정란 이식의 산업화를 더욱더 촉진할 것으로 생각된다. (중략)

Objectives: Pregnant women in rural areas do not have access to sufficient obstetric services in their own communities due to the shortage of obstetricians. Therefore, most of these women must seek obstetrician outside of their communities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between obstetric complications and accessibility to local obstetric care in Korea. Methods: This study was an ecological study in which the unit of analysis was an administrative district. Using Korea National Health Insurance Corporation data, the total number of deliveries and the delivery proportion within and outside of the community from 2001 to 2008 were calculated for 232 administrative districts nationwide. Three outflow levels were categorized based on each district's out-of-community delivery proportion: high outflow (upper one third), moderate outflow (middle one third), and low outflow (lower one third). In addition, three obstetric complication rates (the rate of complications following abortion, ectopic and molar pregnancy, the abortion rate, and the eclampsia rate) were calculated for the 232 districts. One-way ANOVA and multivariate linear regression were used to evaluate obstetric complications among the three outflow levels. Results: The high outflow districts had higher rates of eclampsia and complications following abortion, ectopic, and molar pregnancy compared to the other districts (ANOVA, p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the abortion rate among the three groups. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that high outflow districts were statistically significant in the rate of complications following abortion, ectopic and molar pregnancy and eclampsia rate after adjusting for local tax per capita (p<0.01). Conclusion: These results indicate that poor access to local obstetric care correlate with poor obstetric outcomes (delayed or excessive bleeding, embolism, genital tract or pelvic infection, shock or other complications following abortion and ectopic or molar pregnancy, or eclampsia).
