Veterinary antibiotics (VAs) has been used to treat animal disease and to increase animal weight as growth promoter. However, abused usage of VAs can cause production of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment and additionally, residual of VAs in soil can be transferred into crops. Therefore, main objective of this research was to examine bioaccumulation of VAs in sprouts (red cabbage, Brassica Olearacea L. var. Capitata f. rubra and red radish, Raphanus sativus) with hydroponic method. Total of 7 VAs in 2 different classes of VAs (tetracyclcines: tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, sulfonamides: sulfamethoxazole, sulfamethazine, sulfamethiazole, macrolides: tylosin) were evaluated and experiment was conducted with solid phase extraction (SPE)/high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). Initial spiked concentration of 7 VAs was $5mg\;L^{-1}$ and cultivation period was 8 days. Result showed that growth of sprouts was inhibited about 23-27% when VAs was introduced. Amount of bioaccumulated VAs was also differed depending on class of VAs. The highest amount of bioaccmulated VAs was tetracycline and sulfamethoxazole in each class with a concentration of 4.05, $7.73mg\;kg^{-1}$ respectively. Calculated transfer ratio of VAs into crops was also ranged 0.38-54.27%. Overall, bioaccumulation of VAs in crops can be varied depending on crop species and class of VAs. However, further research should be conducted to verify bioaccumulation of VAs in crops in the soil environment.

본 연구는 식물 추출물, 한방 발효물 및 유산균을 육계에 단독 또는 혼합 급여하였을 때 생산성, 혈액 특성, 맹장 미생물 균총 및 소장 내 소화 효소 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 이를 통해 이들의 성장 촉진용 항생제(AGP) 대체 가능성 및 효과적인 이용 방법을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 1일령 육계 수평아리(Ross strain) 840수를 공시하여 7처리 4반복 반복당 30수씩 완전 임의 배치하였다. 시험구는 항생제 무첨가구(NC)와 항생제 첨가구(PC)를 대조구로 하였으며, 시험 사료에 식물 추출물, 한방 발효물 및 유산균을 0.1% 수준으로 첨가한 처리구(PE, FMP 및 LB)와 유산균 0.1%를 혼합한 시험사료에 식물 추출물 및 한방 발효물을 0.1%씩 첨가한 처리구(PE+LB 및 FMP+LB)를 두었다. 5주 종료 체중 및 증체량은 무항생제 대조구에 비해 모든 처리구에서 유의하게 증가하거나(P<0.05) 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 사료 요구율에 있어서도 무항생제 대조구(NC)에 비해 모든 처리구에서 개선되었다(P<0.05). 그러나 식물 추출물 0.1% 첨가구(PE)을 제외한 다른 처리구에서는 항생제 대조구(PC)와 비교해서 생산성이 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 식물 추출물 및 한방 발효물과 유산균 혼합에 따른 상승 효과는 관찰되지 않았다. Albumin : globulin 비율은 대조구에서 유의하게 감소하였으며(P<0.05), 백혈구 조성에 있어서 스트레스 지표인 림프구/호중구 비율이 역시 무항생제 대조구에 비해 모든 처리구에서 유의하게 낮아졌다(P<0.05). 맹장 내 총 균수 및 Lactobacillus 수에 있어서 처리구 간 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. E. coli 및 Salmonella의 수는 한방 발효물 0.1% 및 유산균 0.1% 단독 첨가구에서 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 소장 내 소화 효소 활성은 sucrase를 제외한 다른 소화 효소의 활성이 대조구에 비해 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 본 연구 결과 식물 추출물 및 유산균 급여는 육계 생산성을 향상시키고, 혈액 특성에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳐 항생제 대체제로서의 이용 가능성이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Two experiments were conducted to compare the effects of feeding a newly-developed rare earth mineral-yeast product, zinc oxide (ZnO) or antibiotics on the performance, nutrient digestibility and serum parameters of weanling pigs. In experiment 1, 150 crossbred barrows (24 d old and 6.28 kg BW) were fed one of five dietary treatments consisting of an unsupplemented basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with antibiotics (33 ppm tiamulin and 100 ppm chlortetracycline), ZnO (1,500 or 2,500 ppm) or 0.1% peptide-bound rare earth mineral-yeast. In experiment 2, 576 crossbred barrows (28 d old and 7.20 kg BW) were fed the same diets as those used in experiment 1 modified only by the addition of 1.0% Celite 545 to all diets as a digestibility marker. However, the negative control was not included. In experiment 1, weight gain was significantly lower (p<0.05) for pigs fed the negative control than for pigs fed diets supplemented with antibiotics, ZnO, or rare earth mineral-yeast. Pig performance did not differ between pigs fed the four supplemented diets. In experiment 2, there were no differences in performance between pigs fed diets supplemented with antibiotic, ZnO or rare earth mineral-yeast. The digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, calcium, phosphorus and energy were significantly (p<0.01) higher on the rare earth mineral-yeast diet than on diets supplemented with ZnO. In addition, pigs fed the diet supplemented with rare earth mineral-yeast had significantly (p<0.05) higher digestibility of histidine, lysine, threonine and valine than pigs fed the ZnO supplemented diets. Digestibility coefficients for pigs fed antibiotics tended to be intermediate to those of pigs fed rare earth mineralyeast or ZnO. In conclusion, the performance of pigs fed rare earth mineral-yeast was basically equal to that of pigs fed antibiotics or ZnO indicating that rare earth mineral-yeast can be successfully used as a growth promoter in diets fed to nursery pigs. The effects of rare earth mineral-yeast appeared to be mediated through improvements in nutrient digestibility.

Objective: Bacillus subtilis, a kind of probiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial function, was commonly used in livestock and poultry production. Recent research suggested that Bacillus subtilis may have antioxidant properties and improve immune response. This study aimed to verify the probiotic function of Bacillus subtilis in the production of broiler chickens. Methods: A total of 324 (1-day-old) Arbor Acres broilers were selected and randomly divided into three groups: basal diet group (Ctr Group), basal diet + antibiotic growth promoter group (Ctr + AGP) and basal diet + 0.5% Bacillus subtilis preparation group (Ctr + Bac). The experiment lasted for 42 days. Muscle, serum and liver samples were collected at 42 days for determination. Results: The results showed that Bacillus subtilis could decrease malondialdehyde content in the serum and liver (p<0.05) and increase superoxide dismutase 1 mRNA expression (p<0.01) and total superoxide dismutase (p<0.05) in the liver. In addition, compared with AGP supplementation, Bacillus subtilis supplementation increased interleukin-10 (IL-10) and decreased tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-1β level in the serum (p<0.05). At 45 minutes after slaughter Ctr + Bac presented a higher a^* value of breast muscle than Ctr Group (p<0.05), while significant change in leg muscle was not identified. Moreover, there was no difference in weight, shear force, cooking loss and drip loss of breast and leg muscle between treatments. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that Bacillus subtilis in diet can enhance antioxidant capacity and optimize immune response of broilers.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of sodium butyrate (SB) on growth performance, immune status, organs weights, and microarchitecture of lymphoid organs and small intestine. Methods: A total of 120, 1-d-old broiler chicks were distributed into the following four treatment groups: corn-soy based basal diet (BD) without supplement (control), or the same BD supplemented with 0.1 g/kg zinc bacitracin (ZnB), 0.5 g/kg SB (SB-0.5), or 1.0 g/kg SB (SB-1), respectively. Six birds/group were killed on d-21 and d-35, and samples were collected. Results: Cell-mediated immune response at 48 h post-Phytohemagglutinin-P injection, and antibody titer against Newcastle disease vaccine and sheep red blood cells on d-35 was noted higher (p<0.05) in SB-1 compared to ZnB and control. Lower (p<0.05) feed conversion ratio (FCR) was attained by the supplemented groups. Thymus and spleen weighed more (p<0.05) in SB-1, and bursa registered more (p<0.05) weight in both SB groups compared to control. On d-21, areas of thymus medulla and spleen germinal centers were noted higher (p<0.05) in SB-1 group. The villus height and villus surface area increased (p<0.05) in duodenum and jejunum in both SB groups on d-21, and in SB-1 on d-35, respectively compared to ZnB and control. On d-21, number of goblet cells containing mucins of acidic nature increased (p<0.05) in all the segments of small intestines in SB-1 group compared to control, and on d-35 in ileum compared to other groups. Conclusion: In conclusion, SB improved growth performance and immunity as well as modulated morphology of lymphoid organs and gut mucosa in broiler chickens.

성장촉진제로 항생제 사용이 금지가 된 이후, 가축들의 사망률이 증가되어 항생제 대체제를 개발해야 하는 것이 시급하다. 그러한 대체제 개발에 새로운 접근 중 하나는 숙주의 신체적 기능에 영향을 준다고 알려진 장내미생물생태를 조절하는 것이다. 하지만 가축의 장내미생물에 대한 이해가 인간과 비교하여 볼 때 많이 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 돼지장내미생물생태가 지역적 차이가 있음에 대한 기본적인 정보를 제공한다. 돼지 분변샘플은 제주(n=40), 광주(n=28), 해남(n=30) 농가로부터 채취하였으며, MiSeq을 이용하여 16S rRNA V4 지역을 시퀀싱하였다. 또한 Mothur 파이프라인을 이용하여 MiSeq으로부터 얻은 데이터를 처리하였다. 총 5,642,125 reads를 얻었으며, 에러시퀀스들을 제거한 후 최종적으로 3,868,143 reads가 남았다. Phylum 수준의 taxonomic composition 분석에서는 제주 돼지들이 Firmicutes를 가장 많이 포함하고 있었으며, Operational Taxonomic Units 분포분석에서 또한 지역적 차이에 따라 돼지장내미생물생태가 다르다는 것을 확인하였다. Non-metric multidimensional scaling과 Phyla의 풍부함 사이의 상관관계분석에서는 Actinobacter, Verrucomicrobia, Firmicutes, Fibrobacteres이 세 개의 지역에 있는 돼지들의 장내미생물생태 차이를 나타나게 하는 장내 미생물 요소라는 것을 확인하였다. 그러한 가축의 장내미생물생태는 농장에서 사용하는 사료와 사양관리에 의해 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구결과는 돼지장내미생물생태가 지역적으로 많은 차이가 있다는 것을 나타내며, 추후에 가축의 장내미생물생태에 관한 연구는 지역적 차이가 있다는 것을 고려하여 설계해야 될 것이다.
