본 연구는 진공포장 한우육의 냉수침지 숙성방법이 한우육의 연도 및 미생물증식에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 근절길이는 냉수침지 처리구가 저장 3일째 유의적(p<0.05)으로 긴 것으로 나타났으며, 저 장 3일째를 제외 한 저 장기간 동안 유의적 인 차이는 없었으나 대조구에 비해 긴 경향을 보였다. 또한 유리칼슘 농도에 있어서도 저장 7일 째 냉수침지 처리구가 유의적(p<0.05)으로 높게 나타났으며, 역시 저장 7일째를 제외한 저장기간 동안 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 대조구에 비해 높은 경향을 보였다. 한편 전단가와 근원섬유 소편화 지수에 있어서는 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 두 처리구간에 있어서 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았지만, 냉수침지 처리구가 상대적으로 낮은 전단가와 높은 소편화지수의 경향을 보였다. 이 같은 결과는 냉수침지 숙성이 일반공기순환냉장고의 숙성보다 근절의 길이를 길게 하고, 근형질내 칼슘의 농도를 높이며, 소편화 지수를 높게 한 결과 연도를 향상시킬 수 있다는 가능성을 제시한 것으로 사료된다. 덧붙여, 총세균수는 일반공 기순환냉장실에 저장한 것에 비해 냉수침지 처리구가 유의적(p<0.05)으로 낮은 것으로 나타나, 온도의 변이를 줄이는 것에 기인하여 미생물의 성장억제에도 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

Thirty six Hanwoo steers (average BW, $564.5\;{\pm}\;25.7\;kg$; average age, approximately 23 months) were used to evaluate the effects of a mixture of eugenol (14%), thymol (1%) and malate (85%) on growth performance, beef quality and liver function in Hanwoo finishing steers fed a high-concentrate diet. A feeding trial was conducted for 7 months in National Agricultural Cooperative Federation farm located in Anseong, Korea. Steers were assigned randomly to one of three treatments: control (without additive supplementation), treatment 1 (0.05% additive of concentrate), treatment 2 (0.1% additive of concentrate). The results of this study showed that initial and final BW averaged 564 and 755 kg, respectively, and BW gain was significantly higher (P<0.05) for steers fed the additive mixture than for those fed no mixture (0.78 and 0.79 vs. 0.69 kg/d, respectively). Serum aspartate aminotransferase in the T2 treatment was decreased during the 24 to 31 months of age. Although supplementation of additives resulted in no substantial effect on carcass characteristics, it had a potential effect to improve feed efficiency and AST concentration in Hanwoo finishing steers fed a high-concentrate diet. In conclusion, a mixture of eugenol, thymol and malate has shown promise in improving feed efficiency and liver function in the finishing phase of Hanwoo steers.

쇠고기는 고품질의 단백질과 함께 비타민과 광물질을 공급해 주지만, 포화지방산과 콜레스테롤 때문에 일부 소비자들은 부정적인 이미지를 지니고 있다. 쇠고기내 과다한 지방, 특히 콜레스테롤,은 사람의 건강과 불가분의 관계를 지니며, 심장병과 고혈압을 비롯한 각종 대사성 질환의 주요 원인이다. 그러나, 한우 쇠고기내 콜레스테롤 함량에 관한 기초자료는 매우 제한되어 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 한우, 앵거스, 및 화우 교잡종의 등심내 콜레스테롤 함량과 지방산 조성에 대한 비교 자료를 제공하고자, 61두의 한우와 각 15두의 앵거스 및 화우 교잡종 거세우로부터 등심을 채취하여 콜레스테롤 함량과 지방산 조성을 분석하였다. 한우의 등심내 콜레스테롤 함량은 32.36mg/100g 부터 75.42mg/100g까지 개체별로 광범위한 분포를 나타내었으며, 근내지방도가 “1”에서 “8”로 증가함에 따라 콜레스테롤 함량이 평균 42.76±1.41mg/100g에서 51.43±6.12mg/100g으로 증가하였다. 앵거스 거세우의 경우, 근내지방도가 가장 낮은 “Practically devoid”의 경우 56.84 mg/100g, 근내지방도가 가장 높은 “Abundant”의 경우 72.85 mg/100g을 나타내어, 근내지방도가 증가할수록 콜레스테롤 함량이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 화우 교잡종 거세우의 경우, “Practically devoid”는 69.23mg/100g, “Moderately Abundant”는 78.93 mg/100g을 나타내어 전체적으로 앵거스 거세우와 하였다. 한우, 앵거스 및 화우 교잡종의 등심내 불포화지방산:포화지방산 및 단가불포화지방산:포화지방산의 비율이 각각 1.48, 1.08 및 1.17과 1.41, 1.03 및 1.10을 나타내어, 한우 거세우에서 현저하게(각각 P< 0.0135 및 P<0.0379) 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면, 한우 거세우는 앵거스나 화우 교잡종 거세우 등심에 비하여 콜레스테롤 함량과 포화지방산의 비율이 현저하게 낮은 반면, 불포화지방산의 비율은 유의하게 높았다. 그러나, 향후 이들 육우의 유전적 배경, 사양 조건, 출하월령, 출하두수 및 샘플링 부위 등을 종합적으로 고려한 후속 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

포유동물의 혈장 지단백의 일종인 apolipoprotein E (APOE)는 인지질 및 트리글리세라이드와 같은 지질과 콜레스테롤의 대사와 운반에 중요한 기능을 담당한다. 본 연구는 지질대사조절 관련 후보유전자로서 APOE 유전자를 대상으로 한우에서 이 유전자의 SNP를 탐색 발굴하고 SNP 유전자형이 육량 및 육질 등 도체형질에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 수행하였다. 먼저 혈연관계가 없는 한우 60두의 pooled DNA를 제작하여 APOE 유전자의 exon 4 영역을 포함하는 primer를 설계하여 PCR로 증폭한 결과 exon 4 영역내 2034번째 T>C 염기치환에 의한 SNP를 검출하였다. 후대검정우 총 309두에 대한 검정 개체별 SNP 유전자형을 판정하기 위하여 Acc I 제한효소를 이용하여 PCR-RFLP기법으로 분석한 결과 SNP 유전자형 출현빈도는 TT형 10.9%, TC형 46.9% 및 CC형 42.2%로 나타났으며, T와 C 대립유전자빈도는 각각 0.344와 0.656으로 추정되었다. 또한 APOE 유전자의 SNP 유전자형과 육량 및 육질 등 도체형질과의 연관성을 통계 분석한 결과 도체율 및 육색형질과의 유의적 연관성이 입증되었다. 즉, TT형을 가진 개체들이 CC형을 가진 개체들에 비해 도체율 값이 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 또한 육색에서도 TT형을 가진 개체들이 CC형을 가진 개체들에 비해 좀 더 바람직한 육색을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 검출한 한우 APOE 유전자의 SNP 유전자형은 한우의 육량지수 평가 및 도체율이 높은 개체선발을 위한 DNA marker로 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The effects of monensin, Tween 80 and exogenous fibrolytic enzymes on ruminal fermentation and animal performance were studied in vitro and in vivo. In Expt 1, the effects of the surfactant Tween 80 (0.2% wt/wt, DM basis) on ruminal fermentation of alfalfa, corn and orchardgrass silages were investigated using in vitro gas production techniques. Tween 80 did not affect (p>0.05) cumulative gas production at 24 h, but it reduced (p<0.05) the lag in fermentation of all three silages. With corn silage and orchardgrass silage, gas production rates and concentrations of total volatile fatty acids (VFA) were increased (p<0.05) by Tween 80; with alfalfa silage, they were reduced (p<0.05). Tween 80 increased (p<0.05) the proportion of propionate in total VFA, and reduced (p<0.05) acetate to propionate ratios (A:P) with all three silages. In Expt 2, exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (E; at 0, 37.5 or 75 g/tonne DM), monensin (M; at 0 or 25 ppm and Tween 80 (T; at 0 or 2 L/tonne DM) were added alone or in combination to backgrounding and finishing diets fed to 320 crossbred steers in a feeding trial with a $3{\times}2{\times}$2 factorial arrangement of treatments. The backgrounding and finishing diets contained barley grain and barley silage in ratios of 57.8:42.2 and 93.5:6.5 (DM basis), respectively. Added alone, none of the additives affected DM intake (p>0.1) in the backgrounding or in the finishing period, but interactive $M{\times}T$ effects were observed in the finishing period (p=0.02) and overall (p=0.04). In the finishing period, T without M tended to reduce DM intake (p=0.11), but T with M increased (p=0.05) DM intake. Monensin increased average daily gain (ADG) during backgrounding (p=0.07) and finishing (p=0.01), and this ionophore also improved overall feed efficiency (p=0.02). Warm carcass weight was increased (p<0.001) by M, but dressing percentage was reduced (p=0.07). In the backgrounding period, T increased ADG by 7% (p=0.06). Enzymes increased (p=0.07) ADG by 5 and 6% (low and high application rates, respectively) during backgrounding, but did not affect (p>0.10) ADG during finishing, or overall feed efficiency. Whereas T enhanced the positive effects of M on ADG during backgrounding (p=0.04) and overall (p=0.05), it had no impact (p>0.1) on the effects of E. Interactions between M and T suggest that the surfactant may have potential for enhancing the positive effects of monensin on beef production, but this requires further research.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the predictions of dry matter intake (DMI) and average daily gain (ADG) of Vietnamese Yellow (Vang) purebred and crossbred (Vang with Red Sindhi or Brahman) bulls fed under Vietnamese conditions using two levels of solution (1 and 2) of the large ruminant nutrition system (LRNS) model. Animal information and feed chemical characterization were obtained from five studies. The initial mean body weight (BW) of the animals was 186, with standard deviation ${\pm}33.2$ kg. Animals were fed ad libitum commonly available feedstuffs, including cassava powder, corn grain, Napier grass, rice straw and bran, and minerals and vitamins, for 50 to 80 d. Adequacy of the predictions was assessed with the Model Evaluation System using the root of mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), accuracy (Cb), coefficient of determination ($r^2$), and mean bias (MB). When all treatment means were used, both levels of solution predicted DMI similarly with low precision ($r^2$ of 0.389 and 0.45 for level 1 and 2, respectively) and medium accuracy (Cb of 0.827 and 0.859, respectively). The LRNS clearly over-predicted the intake of one study. When this study was removed from the comparison, the precision and accuracy considerably increased for the level 1 solution. Metabolisable protein was limiting ADG for more than 68% of the treatment averages. Both levels differed regarding precision and accuracy. While level 1 solution had the least MB compared with level 2 (0.058 and 0.159 kg/d, respectively), the precision was greater for level 2 than level 1 (0.89 and 0.70, respectively). The accuracy (Cb) was similar between level 1 and level 2 (p = 0.8997; 0.977 and 0.871, respectively). The RMSEP indicated that both levels were on average under-or over-predicted by about 190 g/d, suggesting that even though the accuracy (Cb) was greater for level 1 compared to level 2, both levels are likely to wrongly predict ADG by the same amount. Our analyses indicated that the level 1 solution can predict DMI reasonably well for this type of animal, but it was not entirely clear if animals consumed at their voluntary intake and/or if the roughness of the diet decreased DMI. A deficit of ruminally-undegradable protein and/or a lack of microbial protein may have limited the performance of these animals. Based on these evaluations, the LRNS level 1 solution may be an alternative to predict animal performance when, under specific circumstances, the fractional degradation rates of the carbohydrate and protein fractions are not known.

Genomic breeding value (GEBV) has recently become available in the beef cattle industry. Genomic selection methods are exceptionally valuable for selecting traits, such as marbling, that are difficult to measure until later in life. One method to utilize information from sparse marker panels is the Bayesian model selection method with RJMCMC. The accuracy of prediction varies between a multiple SNP model with RJMCMC (0.47 to 0.73) and a least squares method (0.11 to 0.41) when using SNP information, while the accuracy of prediction increases in the multiple SNP (0.56 to 0.90) and least square methods (0.21 to 0.63) when including a polygenic effect. In the multiple SNP model with RJMCMC model selection method, the accuracy ($r^2$) of GEBV for marbling predicted based only on SNP effects was 0.47, while the $r^2$ of GEBV predicted by SNP plus polygenic effect was 0.56. The accuracies of GEBV predicted using only SNP information were 0.62, 0.68 and 0.73 for CWT, EMA and BF, respectively. However, when polygenic effects were included, the accuracies of GEBV were increased to 0.89, 0.90 and 0.89 for CWT, EMA and BF, respectively. Our data demonstrate that SNP information alone is missing genetic variation information that contributes to phenotypes for carcass traits, and that polygenic effects compensate genetic variation that whole genome SNP data do not explain. Overall, the multiple SNP model with the RJMCMC model selection method provides a better prediction of GEBV than does the least squares method (single marker regression).

We hypothesized that supplementing finishing diets with palm oil would promote adipogenic gene expression but depress stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) gene expression in intramuscular (i.m.) adipose tissues of Hanwoo steers during fattening period (from 16 to 32 mon of age). Fourteen Hanwoo steers were allotted randomly to 2 groups of 7 steers based on initial BW and fed either a basal diet (control) or the basal diet supplemented with 5% palm oil (BDSP). At slaughter, i.m. adipose tissue was harvested for analysis of adipogenic gene expression and fatty acid composition. There were no differences in BW or average daily gain between treatment groups. Supplemental palm oil had no effect on carcass quality traits (carcass weight, backfat thickness, loin muscle area, or marbling scores) or meat color values. Palm oil increased (p<0.05) expression of AMP-activated protein kinase-${\alpha}$ and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-${\gamma}$, but decreased (p<0.05) CAAT/enhancer binding protein-${\beta}$ gene expression and tended to decrease stearoyl-CoA desaturase gene expression in i.m. adipose tissue. Palm oil increased total i.m. polyunsaturated fatty acids (p<0.05) compared to the control i.m. adipose tissue, but had no effect on saturated or monounsaturated fatty acids. Although there were significant effects of supplemental palm oil on i.m. adipose tissue gene expression, the absence of negative effects on carcass and meat characteristics indicates that palm oil could be a suitable dietary supplement for the production of Hanwoo beef cattle.

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP1) is a key regulatory enzyme of gluconeogenesis that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to generate fructose-6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate. Deficiency of fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase is associated with fasting hypoglycemia and metabolic acidosis. The enzyme has been shown to occur in bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. The bovine FBP1 gene was cloned and characterized in this study. The full length (1,241 bp) FBP1 mRNA contained an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a protein of 338 amino acids, a 63 bp 5' untranslated region (UTR) and a 131 bp 3' UTR. The bovine FBP1 gene was 89%, 85%, 82%, 82% and 74% identical to the orthologs of pig, human, mouse, rat and zebra fish at mRNA level, and 97%, 96%, 94%, 93% and 91% identical at the protein level, respectively. This gene was broadly expressed in cattle with the highest level in testis, and the lowest level in heart. An intronic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (A/G) was identified in the $5^{th}$ intron of the bovine FBP1 gene. Genotyping of 133 animals from four beef breeds revealed that the average frequency for allele A (A-base) was 0.7897 (0.7069-0.9107), while 0.2103 (0.0893-0.2931) for allele B (G-base). Our preliminary association study indicated that this SNP is significantly associated with traits of Average Daily Feed Intake (ADFI) and Carcass Length (CL) (p<0.01). In addition, the FBP1 gene was assigned on BTA8 by a hybrid radiation (RH) mapping method.
