This study was carried out to estimate the effects of environmental factors on the activities and rectal temperatures(heat tolerance) of Holstein dairy cows in a summer season. An activity-meter(Alpro system$^{\circledR}$) was used to record activities of 77 cows for 24 hours. The feeding standards for milking and dry cow were formulated with concentrates and corn silages based on the NRC(1998). Cows to check temperature were kept in stanchions and temperature was checked in rectum. Ambient temperature was $29.0^{\circ}C$ between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. of the day. The rectal temperatures were affected by parities and status of milking or dry(p<0.01). The activities recorded between 9 a.m. and 12 a.m., and between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. were not effected by the status of lactating and dry. The rectal temperature of lactating cow was 39.0${\pm}0.03^{\circ}C$, it was higher than dry cow(38.6${\pm}0.04^{\circ}C$). A higher activity of cow under third parity at 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. was observed comparing with fourth and above. The activities were tended to decrease with an increase of parity. Rectal temperature was negatively correlated with milk compositions, which were fat, protein, solid-not-fat and total solid except lactose.

Present study examined the endogenous release of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) from superiused hypothalamic sBces derived from Korean native cattie (KNC). In addition, the in vitro secretory pattern of LHRH release in '(NC was compared with that in imported cattle such as Holstein cow. The median eminences (ME) of hypothalamic tissues were disseded out, sliced and quici'ly placed in ice-cold superfilsion chamber. Superhision chambers containing ME slices were maintained in a constant temperature water-bath at 37$^{\circ}C$. Effluents were colleded on ice at 10 min intervals for a 4 hr superfusion period, and kept -2$0^{\circ}C$ prior to LHRH radloimmunoassay. LHRH release was analyzed by the PULSAR algorithm. The spontaneous release of LHRH from both cows was episodic during a 4 hr superhision period. The mean LHRH release, pulse amplitude and pulse interval m KNC were 11.08 $\pm$ 1.50 pg/min/mg x 10-$^2$, 21.43 1 7.28 pg/mg x 10-$^2$, and 39.42 $\pm$ 3.08 min, which were quite similar to those observed in Holstein cows. The basic charaderistics of the LHRH pulse generator of '(NC appears important for a better understanding about the endocrine function of KNC.

The present study was carried out to investigate effects of various factors such as sire, bovine leukemia virus(BLV) carrier/non-carrier, parity, calving month and lactation periods on somatic cell count(SCC) and milk components in dairy cows. The animals calved from January 2001 to March 2004. Milk samples were collected every 30 $\pm$ 5 days in milk(DlM), and somatic cell count and milk components were analysed by Somascope MK2/Lactoscope FTIR Bovine Leukemia Virus(BLV) was detected by ELISA method. The lactation periods were divided into five periods; (1) 30DIM, (2) 31 to 6ODIM, (3) 61 to 120DIM, (4) 121 to 180DIM, and (5) more than 180DIM. The level of SCC and milk components in all lactation periods were significantly affected by sire, parity, calving month, lactation period and BLV carrier/non-carrier. The results suggest that BLV carrier/non-carrier analysis in a herd may be necessary if milk quality is low owing to a high SCC. BLV carrier/non-carrier did not affect milk protein content for all lactation periods.

The objective of this study was to determine how feeding forage and concentrate separately (SF) or as a total mixed ration (TMR) affects enteric methane production of cattle. Six Holstein steers ($203{\pm}22.5kg$) were used in a $2{\times}3$ changeover design experiment. Experimental diets (TMR and SF) consisted of compound feed, timothy hay and soybean curd residue in a ratio of 40:48:12, respectively, and diets were fed at 10% of metabolic body weight, on an as-fed basis. There were no differences in dry matter intake and enteric methane production (g/d) between SF and TMR but the methane conversion rate (methane energy/GE intake) of TMR was significantly higher (p=0.05) than that of SF. The mean methane emission factor (kg/head/year) and conversion rate of the two treatments were 21.4 and 0.05, respectively. There was a strong relationship between metabolic body weight and enteric methane production (p<0.001). At the present time, further studies may be necessary in order to establish the effects of TMR and SF on enteric methane production.

Macroscopic investigations were made on the lesions of a total of 101 udders from slaughtered Holstein cows in Gwangju area. Incidence of supernumerary teats was 9.9%. Gross lesions were found in the surface of teats of 29.4% of cows; these lesions comprised papilomatosis (16.0%), fronds (8.9%) and injury at the tip (3.2%). Approximately 95% of the cows had slight to severe teat orifice keratosis. On the mucous membranes of the teat cisterns, fibrosis (22.7%) and congestion (8.9%) were observed. Gross lesions were found in the mammary glands of 68% of cows; these lesions comprised fibrosis (18.8%), serous exudate (4.9%), fatty tissue (4.9%), pus (4.0%), congestion (2.0%).

Growth, mammary development, serum concentrations of growth hormone, prolactin and estradiol which affect the growth and mammary development, were investigated in Korean Native heifers and Holstein heifers from 5 months old to 15 months old. From 5 months old to 15 months old, body weights in Korean Native heifers averaged 37%, lower than those in Holstein heifers of the same age (P<.01). Teat volumes in Korean Native heifers are average 67% smaller than those in Holstein heifers. Analysis of serum protein by secondary electrophoresis showed differences in protein pattern between the breeds and between the individuals. From 5 months old to 15 months old, serum concentration of growth hormone in Korean Native heifers was averge 47% lower than that in Holstein (P<.01), yet prolactin concentrations in serum were about the same between the two breeds. However serum concentration of estradiol in Korean Native heifers was average 20% higher than that in Holstein of same age (P<.01). This result showed evidently that the decrease of the growth hormone concentration in serum, while growing up, causes to retard the growth and mammary development in Korean Native heifers compared to Holstein heifers.

홀스타인 도체를 두쪽으로 나누어 한쪽은 진공포장하여 1$^{\circ}C$에 냉장하고(냉장육), 나머지 한쪽은 함기포장하여 -2$0^{\circ}C$에 동결하였다. (동결육). 두시료의 기호성을 저장 20일, 40일, 및 60일째에 비교하였으며, 비단백태 질소화합물 함량의 상관관계를 검토하였다. 또. 냉장육의 진공포장을 개봉하거나. 동결육을 해동한 후 재냉장한 것에 대해서도 기호성을 비교하였다. 생육향의 경우, 20일과 40일에는 냉장육이 우수하였으나 60일에는 오히려 동결육이 우수하여 진공포장육은 냉장기간이 길어지면서 산소 부족으로 인한 생육향 생성이 적은 현상을 보였다. 두 시료를 재냉장한 후의 생육향도 마찬가지였다. 저장 20일과 40일에현저한 차이는 아니지만 냉장육이 우수한 반면 60일에는 동결육이 우수하였다. 연도는 저장기간에 관계 없이 냉장육이 우수하였고, 해동 후 재냉장에 의해서 향상되었다. 가열육의 기호성은 저장기간에 관계없이 냉장육이 우수하였으며 20일(p<0.01)에 가장 큰 차이를 보였다. 재냉장한 우육의 기호성은 저장 20일(p<0.05)과 40일(p<0.01)의 것은 냉장육이 우수한 반면 60일의 것은 동결육이 우수하였다. 냉장육의 기호성과 비단백태 질소화합물의 상관관계는 유의성이 없었으며, 동결육의 경우 inosin의 유의적인 상관관계(r=0.48)를 보였다.

On a dairy farm, a Holstein cow had consistently shown an intersucking behavior within the milking herd. It has been considered as one of several behavioral disorders primarily coming from feeding management failure during weaning period. Due to their behavior, injured teats of other milking cows could decrease milk production. Through tongue surgery, by producing a convex shape of the dorsum of the tongue after suturing the excised ventral region, the intersucking behavior was forcefully corrected and disappeared thereafter within the dairy herd without any complications.
