This study was conducted to prove the optimum feeding method of Lactobacillus in broiler chickens by investigating the intestinal viability of ingested Lactobacillus and the effect of feeding levels and frequency of Lactobacillus on growth performance in broiler chickens. In experiment 1, A total of one hundred, 5 weeks old male broiler chickens(Abor Acre) were fed Lactobacillus reuteri avibro2 expressed green fluorescent protein(GFP) at 104cfu/g diet to investigate the retention time of ingested Lactobacillus in the intestine for 1 day. The percentage of Lactobacillus expressed GFP in intestinal contents was 26% at 1 day after fed Lactobacillus expressed GFP. The percentage of Lactobacillus expressed GFP in intestinal contents was decreased in length of time. In experiment 2, A total of four hundred eighty, 1-d-old male broiler chicks(Abor Acre) were randomly divided into 4 groups with 4 replicates of 30 birds each to prove the optimum feeding level of Lactobacillus. The treatments were control(free antibiotics), Lactobacillus reuteri avibro2 5.0×10cfu/mL, 5.0×103cfu/mL, and 5.0×105cfu/mL. The final body weight and body wight gain of Lactobacillus reuteri avibro2 5.0×103cfu/mL were the highest in all groups(P<0.05). Feed conversion ratio was not significantly difference among the groups. The number of intestinal lactic acid bacteria in Lactobacillus treated groups tended to be improved or significantly increased as compared to that of control(P<0.05). Protein and fat digestibility in Lactobacillus 5.0×103cfu/mL and 5.0×105cfu/mL treated groups were significantly improved(P<0.05). No significant differences were observed on the availability of dry matter and crude ash in Lactobacillus treatments compared to those of control. In experiment 3, A total of six hundred 1-d-old male broiler chicks(Abor Acre) were randomly divided into 4 groups with 4 replicates of 30 birds each and were fed Lactobacillus reuteri avibro2 at intervals of 1, 2, 3, and 5 day for five weeks. Feeding level of Lactobacillus was 5.0×103cfu/mL The final body weight and body wight gain of Lactobacillus reuteri avibro2 5.0×103cfu/mL were the highest in all groups(P<0.05). The final body weight and body weight gain were significantly increased, when Lactobacillus was fed at intervals of 1 days, or 2 days. There were no significant differences in feed intake and feed conversion ratio among the all groups. The number of intestinal lactic acid bacteria in Lactobacillus treated groups tended to be improved or significantly increased as compared to that of control(P<0.05). No significant differences were observed on the number of coliform bacteria and Salmonella of ileum and cecum. Consequently, supplemental Lactobacillus influenced positive effects on the growth performance, nutrient availability and intestinal microflora. The optimum feeding level of Lactobacillus was 5.0×103cfu/mL, and the constant feeding of Lactobacillus was effective.

The continuous glass fiber reinforced poly-lactic acid (PLA) composite was manufactured by direct melt impregnation. The mechanical and thermal properties of continuous glass fiber reinforced PLA composite were observed. Measured properties were compared with the reference values of neat PLA and the injection molded glass fiber/ PLA composite. The continuous glass fiber reinforced PLA composite having a fiber volume fraction of 27.7% shows enhanced tensile strength of 331.1 MPa, flexural strength of 528.6 MPa, and flexural modulus of 24.0 GPa. The enhanced heat deflection temperature (HDT) and the increased cystallinity were also observed. The degree of impregnation as a function of pulling speed was also assessed. The degree of impregnation at the pulling speed of 5 m/min was over 90% in this research.

Bioconversion and fermentation of onion extract by lactic acid bacteria were carried out to enhance the bioavailability of quercetin through the increase of quercetin recovery and aglycone formation. Lactobacillus casei, L. plantarum, and Kluyveromyces lactis were selected as the optimum strains for bioconversion. The environmental conditions to maximize the conversion ratio between glycoconjugate and quercetin aglycone have been evaluated. The concentrations of quercetin after fermentation of onion slurry by K. lactis and L. casei increased to 260% and 318%, respectively; however, the quercetin concentrations decreased after 48 hours of fermentation. Additionally, the quercetin hexose concentration increased to almost 141%. Controlling the initial pH of the onion juice increased the lactic acid production by L. casei and L. plantarum by more than two-fold. Meanwhile, the concentration of quercetin hexose decreased rapidly with the increased production of aglycones. The scale-up experiments showed the same fermentation efficiency; however, thermal sterilization reduced the quercetin glycone concentrations drastically.

The alginate extracted from Hizikia fusiform by the acid alkali soluble alginate (AASA) extraction method was reacted with Na$_2$SO$_4$. The amount of sulfate absorbed in the 3% alginate solution was determined about 18,435 ppm by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. Both alginate and S-alginate stimulated the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus in MRS broth and peptone water medium. The addition of S-alginate to the media showed the higher bacterial numbers than alginate supplement. There was no mutagenic activity of S-alginate in the Ames test using the Salmonella Typhimurium TA98 and TA100 strains. The S-alginate showed suppressive effect against 2-NF and MMS of mutagens.

In order to select probiotics having both a high survival rate and an ability to inhibit virulent pathogens, we have screened lactic acid bacteria and yeasts from Jeot-gal to examine their resistance to artificial gastric and bile juice. After being introduced in the artificial gastric acid for 2 hr, the isolated lactic acid bacteria and yeast were incubated for 24 hrs in the artificial bile juice. In particular, the strain ML 36, ML 128, and ML 178 survived the longest during 2 hr incubation period in the artificial gastric acid. All 3 strains of lactic acid bacteria, and 2 strains of yeast demonstrated higher growth rates than control in the artificial bile. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts was investigated to determine their efficiency as probiotic organisms. The lactic acid bacteria inhibited Gram positive and negative bacteria, while the yeast was marginally inhibited.

This study was conducted to evaluate the response of CIDR-S on estrus synchronization of dairy goats and the effect of artificial insemination on conception rate. Estrus synchronization of sexually matured Saanen goats was induced with insertion of CIDR-S into vagina for 15 days and injection of 500 IU PMSG before removal of CIDR-S. Artificial insemination was conducted using liquid or frozen semen by intra-cervical insemination with synchronized does. Estrus synchronization was 90% using CIDR-S insertion for 15 days. Conception rate of inseminated does was 20% - 25%, while that of natural mated does was 100%. These results suggested that synchronization of dairy goats can be successfully induced and artificial insemination method has to be improved for the practical use in dairy goats.

For the developement of probiotics, three strains haying psychorophilic and salt tolerant characteristics were isolated from Kimchi. Among the isolated strains, MGl9, MG89 and MG208 were identified as Lactobacillus brevis, Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus plantarum, respectively. The relationship between cryoprotectant and the viability of freeze dried strains has been studied. The most effective cryoprotectant for MGl9 was found to be 10% skim milk contained 1% soluble starch haying the survival rate of 71.4%. In MG89, 10% skim milk contained 1% sucrose and 10% skim milk contained l% fructose in MG208 were showed effective cryoprotectant having the survival rate 68.9% and 64.7%. respectively These results suggest that these isolated strains can play an important role as probiotics in aquaculture.
