The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mortality rate, weight gain, and protein, lipid cholesterol, and total amino acid contents in processed-sulfur-diet chicken meat. Also investigated were the antioxidant activity and glutathione content of blood plasma. The mortality of the processed-sulfur-diet chickens was relatively reduced, and their weight increased compared to the normal-diet chickens. Although the glutathione content decreased in the processed-sulfur-diet chicken blood plasma, the antioxidant activity increased compared with the normal-diet chickens. Also, there was no difference in the total cholesterol contents of the blood, but the level of HDL cholesterol increased while that of LDL cholesterol decreased. Furthermore, there were no changes in the total amino acid and protein contents, but the fat content was significantly reduced. As no toxicity was found in the DT 40 cells in the MTT assay, it can be concluded that dietary sulfur in chicken feed can improve the quality of poultry products.

Tolerance limits of the adult crab were determined by exposing them to different temperatures (5~2$0^{\circ}C$) and salinities(12~32$\textperthousand$). The tolerance limit for high temperature was determined at 14$^{\circ}C$ and 16$^{\circ}C$ for male and female snow crab, respectively and that for salinity was 21 $\textperthousand$ at 5 $^{\circ}C$. Osmolality concentration, Na$^{+}$ and $K^{+}$ ions in the haemolymph of especially, the females was positively related to the salinity changes. Increased water temperature resulted in a marked decreased in ionic and osmolality concentrations near the limit of tolerance in male, however, such a clear pattern was not apparent for the females. The concentration of glucose in the haemolymph was positively related to water temperature but negatively to salinity.ity.

A protein-bound polysaccharide preparation, PS-K, isolated from Coriolus versicolor was evaluated for its ability to enhance resistance against Edwardsiella tarda, causal agent of classical edwardsiellosis in tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Fish treated with a dose rate of 0.1 mg PS-K $g^{-1}$ body weight were challenged by intraperitoneal injection of E. tarda with different concentrations. Against low burdens of injections($1.2{\times}10^7$ and $1.2{\times}10^8$ cfu/fish), PS-K treated fish did not show any mortality compared to 50% and 100% mortality of control groups, respectively. However there was no increase of resistance against challenge with high concentrations of E. tarda ($1.2{\times}10^9$ and $1.2{\times}10^{10}$cfu /fish) except few days delaying of death. Tilapia injected with PS-K one day after intraperitoneal inoculation of E tarda($1.2{\times}10^7$ cfu/fish) showed 100% survival rate compared to control group of 50% survival rate. The result indicates the potential of PS-K as a prophylactic agent in aquaculture. The increased antibody response in fish received PS-K one week prior to FKC administration suggested the influence of PS-K on the specific humoral immunity and increased resistance against bacterial infection.

올해는 1994년 이후 10여 년만에 가장 무더운 여름을 보내면서 우리 양계업자들은 엄청난 생산성 저하의 어려움을 겪었을 것으로 생각된다. 육계농장에서는 출하일자 지연과 큰 닭들의 폐사로 인하여 닭값은 2,000원대가 형성되었고 종계장에서는 산란율 저하와 수정율 저하, 일부 종계장에서는 수 백수부터 수 천수의 폐사까지 이어져 병아리값의 강세가 장기간 지속되었다. 이렇듯 우리나라 양계의 경기는 외적인 환경의 영향으로 경기의 상황이 바뀌는 경우를 늘상 경험해 왔다. 이것은 수요에 비하여 공급의 부족이냐 과잉이냐에 따른 양적인 영향으로 결정 되어왔다. 하지만 오늘날의 유행처럼 사용되는 식품에서의 웰빙 바람과 같이 안전하고 위생적인 식품생산이 아니고는 앞으로는 그 어떠한 식품관련 사업도 살아남기 어려울 것이다. 특히 안전하고 깨끗한 닭고기 생산에 있어서 가장 기초가 되는 것이 바로 양질의 위생적이고 우량한 병아리 생산일 것이다. 본고에서는 양질의 병아리 생산을 위한 육용종계 관리에 있어서 병아리 생산과 직접적으로 관련된 산란기관리에 초점을 맞추어 기술하고자 한다.

In an effort to understand epizootiological aspects of infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT), a total of 56 chicken flocks in six farms comprised of 35 broiler breeder, 13 commercial layer and 6 layer breeder flocks. were investigated. The farms experienced ILT during the period of one year from June, 1982. In most farms the birds were vaccinated against ILT just before or after the disease outbreak. In two of the farms in which ILT broke out in winter, it was possible to contain the disease in only one or two fleets without transmitting it to the remaining 5 to 7 flocks in the farms by adopting strict isolation procedures for the affected flocks. In regarding inter- flock spreading speed, it took an average of 6 days for flocks rearing on floor and 11 days for those in cages. Among the flecks in rearing cages. transmission among laying flocks was much faster. taking an average of 8 days, compared to non-laying flocks of 17 days, suggesting spreading of the disease by means of egg trays or egg collection process. Peak mortality was observed between 5 and 10 days after from the time of appearance of first dead birds from the disease and the period of mortality, with an average of 18 days, was not influenced by rearing systems, breeds and age of birds. Mortalities in the affected flocks ranged from lo/e to 19.8%, with an average of 6.5 %, and was also not influenced by the above variables except significantly lower mortality in immature broiler breeder flocks (2.9%) compared to immature layer (11.8%) and mature broiler breeder flocks (6.9%). In one breeder farm in which all the birds were kept on floor and ILT broke out in summer, mortality in male birds in all seven flocks of 37 weeks of age or older was as high as twice of that in female birds in the same flocks. This trend was not observed in one 31 weeks old flock and was reversed in another 14 weeks old flock in the farm.

The report about equine anesthesias in Korea are very rare. This paper aimed at the mortality rate during anesthesia in Thoroughbred horses at Equine Hospital of Busan Race Park, KRA in South Korea from 2005 to 2010. Drugs used in anesthesia was IV injection of detomidine hydrochloride (0.01 mg/kg) or xylazine(0.5mg/kg) for sedation and premedication, Guaifenesin(50-100 mg/kg) for muscle relaxation, ketamine hydrochloride(2 mg/kg) for induction of anaesthesia and Inhalational isoflurane(1.3-1.5 %) to maintain anesthesia. Total number of anesthetic cases was 190, 150 of inhalational anesthesia and 40 of general anesthesia, repectively. The purpose of anesthesia was highest in the disorder of musculoskeletal system, followed by urogenital system and respiratory system Mortality case due to anesthesia was one during arthroscopic surgery for removal of osteochondral chip fragments. The time of anesthesia was 150 min, fatal sign was hypoxemia and the reason was improper machine operation of the anesthetist. In conclusion, the perianesthetic mortality rate during anesthesia in Thoroughbred horses at Busan Race Park was 0.52%(1 death per 190 anesthetics).

In order to evaluate how the effects of aquacultural environment, such as temperature, salinity, DO, SS, Chlorophyll-a, COD and nutritive salts on Cupped oysters, an investigational study was conducted between September to December of 2011. During the study, different intermediate cage farms on the surface of the sea were used to culture and compare the growth and survival rate of the Cupped oysters in different fishing environments. The different intermediate cage farms used were Wonsando-ri, Chang-ri, and Pado-ri. In January of 2012, these oysters were transplanted to a horizontal net farm in a mudflat until July of that year. The adaptation rates of the Cupped oysters were tested at differential exposure times at varying intertidal periods. Wonsando-ri showed the highest water temperature and Chlorophyll-a levels, while the salinity was found to be within range of stable conditions among all three intermediate cage farms. Once the Cupped oysters were at the horizontal net farm, the growth was measured at distinct tidal exposure time of 1, 3, and 5 hours, whereby the growth rate was highest at 3, 1, and 5 hours, respectively. In addition, the oysters cultivated in intermediate cage farms had longer shell lengths compared to shell heights, while oysters cultured in the horizontal net farm had larger shell heights than shell lengths.

As seed production program is growing prosperously in various fishes in southern Korea, disease problems in larval and juvenile stages have emerged as a new research object. The following results were obtained from investigation about environmental factors related to mass mortalities of young Kinki red seabream, Pagrus major in process of artificial seedling production. Total length of red seabream larvae hatched was 2.93mm, and became 18.83~20.12mm at day 40. The first noticeable mortality of red seabream larvae (7.98~9.37mm) occurred in 25~30 day-old fish with the survival rates of 59.8~60.3%. Thereafter the mortality of larvae decreased, survival rate was 20.5~25.45% in day 40. After 20~30 days, the quality of pond water was bellow II class. During the experimental period COD, $PO_4$-P, $NO_2$-N, $NO_3$-N and $NH_$-N increased up to 3, 7, 34, 6 and 8 times, respectively, compared to initial ones. The number of viable bacteria in pond water and seabream larvae were $6.3{\times}10^6$~$2.3{\times}10^7$ cfu/ml, 4.3~$7.4{\times}10^6$ cfu/g in day 25, respectively. Among the isolated bacteria from the diseased red seabream in day 25, Vibrio spp. was considered to be the causative organism. External symptoms of this disease were floated, spined near the surface and inflated abdomen. When the isolated strain of the Vibrio was bathed to seabream larvae, $LD_50$ of seabream larvae was over $10^6$ cfu/ml of Vibrio spp.

Miamiensis avidus is a scuticociliate causing mortality in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. To evaluate immune response of olive flounder against M. avidus, 2.6×106cells/fish of Formalin killed cell (FKC) was intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected, and 2.4 × 106cells/㎖ of sonicated FKC was immersion immunized to 14.9 cm (26.8g) fish. Fish were immunized 2 times with 2 weeks intervals. Antiserum from immunized fish caused agglutination and immobilization of the ciliate. In ELISA test, immunized group exhibited higher titers than control group. In addition, i.p. immunized fish showed higher phagocytic ratio, phahgocytic index and chemotaxic activity. To evaluate in vivo efficacy of FKC on fish, 1.43 × 105cells/fish was i.p.. injected, and 2.2 × 105 cells/㎖ of sonicated cell was immersed into 8.6cm (6.3g) fish. After 2 times immunization with 2 weeks intervals, fish were infected with 2.0 × 104 and 2.0 × 103 cells/ml of live ciliates by immersion. After 3 weeks, cumulative mortality was lower in the i.p. immunized group and mortality was delayed in immersion immunized group. In conclusion, specific immune response of oliver flounder against M. avidus was elevated after immunization and these immune response may prevent and/or delay for the M. avidus infection to olive flounder.
