This study was conducted to compare the production performance and stress response of chickens kept in the conventional cages and floor pens. 491 female White Leghorns were used in this study, and their production characteristics and stress response indicators were analyzed from 34 to 43 weeks of age. The results showed that there was no significant difference in survival rate, hen-day egg production, and body weight between the chickens kept in the conventional cages and those kept in the floor pens. The chickens kept in the conventional cages had a significantly higher egg weight and egg quality compared with those kept in the floor pens (P<0.01). The amount of telomeric DNA in lymphocytes was significantly higher in the chickens kept in floor pens than in those kept in conventional cages (P<0.05). The heterophil-lymphocyte ratio, HSP-90β gene expression level, and DNA damage rate significantly increased in chickens kept in the conventional cages, as compared to the chickens kept in floor pens (P<0.01). In conclusion, there seems to be no difference in the production performance between chickens kept in conventional cages and those kept in floor pens. Furthermore, chickens kept in conventional cages had higher stress response values than those kept in floor pens for all stress response indicators. Therefore, conventional cage types are considered to be a more stressful environment for chickens than floor pens, regardless of the production performance of the chickens.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of housing systems on the productivity and physiological response as stress indicators in White Leghorn chickens. The chickens subjected to the conventional cages had a significantly lower viability, hen-housed egg production, egg weight and body weight compared with those to the floor pens. However, the hens housed in the conventional cages had a shorter day of the first egg and a greater egg quality compared with those housed in the floor pens. In addition, this study was also investigated to identify biological markers for assessing the physiological response of chickens under stress conditions. As biological markers, the amount of telomeric DNA was analyzed by quantitative fluorescent in situ hybridization on the nuclei of cells. The DNA damage rate of lymphocytes was also quantified by the comet assay. The amount of telomeric DNA of the lymphocytes, kidney and spleen was significantly higher in the chickens under floor pens than those under conventional cages. The DNA damage also increased in chickens raised under conventional cages, as compared to the chickens under floor pens. As results, we conclude that the chickens housed in conventional cages have a greater stressful status than those housed in floor pens.

경험적 암반 분류법과 운동학적 해석을 동시에 통합하여 사용할 수 있다면, 터널의 암반 상태를 분류하고 예측하는데 매우 유용할 것이다. TMR-net 분석 기법은 RMR 시스템의 평가 기준에 기초한 절리 방향 평가 기준을 설정하고, 이를 극 투영망 상의 평점 기준을 가진 활동 범위로 표현한 평사투영 중첩기법이다. 터널의 설계 및 시공 단계에 적용된 TMR-net 분석은 절리 방향의 영향과 관련된 효과적인 결과를 제공할 수 있었다.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of floor type and heating system on performance, housing environment and health status of ducks reared in three types of duck house (OD : Open floor house-Direct heating system, OF : Open floor house-Floor heating system and LD : Loft type house-Direct heating system). In OF treatment, PVC pipes were installed for heating under concrete floor and covered with litter. In LD treatment, plastic mesh was installed 50 cm above the floor so that duck's droppings can pass through it. Each treatment had four replicates of 25 birds (Cherry Valley duck breed) per pen. There were no significant differences in weight gain and feed intake of ducks for 6 weeks among all treatments. However, feed conversion ratio in LD was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that in OF. No differences were found in carcass charac- teristics, with the exception of abdominal fat weight where OF were higher than the others. Concentrations of $CO_2$ and $NH_3$ gas in OD were higher than those of OF and LD at 3, 4 and 5 weeks. Moisture content in litter of OF was lower than that of OD. In contrast, the amount of dust in the air was higher in OF than in OD. The amount of fuel used for 6 weeks in LD was lower about 21% than that in OD. Some of unusual symptoms were observed in open floor house and loft type house, such as lying, spraddle legged, twisted ankle and legs, wounded sole, or etc. No components of leukocyte and erythrocyte of blood were significantly different among all treatments. The results of this experiment showed that OF and LD systems had no positive effects on performance of meat type commercial duck. However, there were some positive effects of certain house type for the improvement of environmental condition in duck house for hygienic production. In the future, more research on the effect of various facilities and systems for duck house is needed.

Recently stereographic projection method has widely been adopted in Korea as a simple but effective way of anlalysing the rock slope stability at the preliminary stage of site investigation. In practice, however, not a few cases have been noted where the method. even with the aid of computer programme, was unproperly applied due to lack of experience in the process of collecting geological data, sorting them out and assessing the potential instability of rock block thereform. This paper will briefly describe basic principles of stereographic projection method and present several instances to discuss its merits and limitations when it is applied to the geological conditions of Korea.

그간 많은 양계인들이 육성율이 낮아 걱정 하는 것을 많이본다. 재래의 방법으로는 대규모로 좋은 성적을 기대할 수 없는 것이다. 본인은 한흥목장에서 육추경험 결과 20주령까지 96$\%$의 좋은 육성율을 얻었다. 양계를 처음 시작하려고 하는 분이나 대규모 양계를 하고 있는 분에게 육추실을 특별히 만들지 않고도 산란계사(평사)라면 어느 곳에든지 간단히 육추할 수 있음을 독자들에게 알리고자 저의 육추시설과 육추일기를 소개하고자 합니다.
