Objective: Animal feed companies and researchers are currently embarking on quests for feed additives that could combat the pathogens while promoting growth as well as maintaining quality products. The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of onion extracts on growth performance, carcass quality, and bone morphometrics of broiler chickens. Methods: A total number of 200 one-day-old unsexed Ross 308 broiler chicks were assigned to 5 treatment groups, replicated 4 times. Each replicate (pens) held 10 chickens in a completely randomized design. The experimental diets were then randomly allotted to the pens which act as experimental units. The isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diets were formulated by including onion extracts at 0, 5, 10, 15, or 25 g/kg in a complete broiler diet. Feed intake, and body weight, were recorded then used to calculate feed conversion ratio. At the end of the experiment (42 days), four chickens from each pen were randomly selected for slaughter for carcass, bone morphology and sensory evaluation. Results: Results showed that onion extract supplementation did not affect (p>0.05) growth performances and meat sensory evaluation. However, there was a significantly increased (p<0.05) meat shear force in groups receiving onion extracts dietary treatments. Furthermore, onion extracts improved (p<0.05) bone morphology of broiler chickens in terms of weight, diameter, calcium, and phosphorous contents. Conclusion: In conclusion, onion extracts can be safely included in a commercial broiler diet as a growth promoter without causing adverse effects on growth performance traits and carcass quality in chickens. Onion extract supplementation improved tibia bone growth and strength in broiler chickens.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of crude oligosaccharide extract from coconut milk meal (CMM) and spent tea leaves (ST) on the performance and gut development of broiler chickens. Methods: A total of 240 one-day-old unsexed broiler chicks (ROSS 308) were raised on litter-floored pens and had ad libitum access to water for 42 days. The experiment was conducted on chicks fed with basal diet (CON), commercial mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS), crude oligosaccharide extract from CMM, and crude oligosaccharide extract from ST. The experimental diets were supplemented with 2 and 1 g/kg oligosaccharides during the starter and grower periods, respectively. Results: The body weight gain (BWG) of birds in the MOS group was higher than that of birds in the other groups (p<0.05) in the starter period. However, during the grower period, ST significantly improved the BWG compared to the MOS (p<0.05). MOS, CMM, and ST showed no influence on the carcass and visceral organ weight and the weight and length of intestine (p>0.05). The digestibility of gross energy was greater (p<0.05) in the CMM group than in the CON group during the grower period. Morphological changes were absent in the dietary treatments (p>0.05). Conclusion: The improvements in the growth performance were partly driven by nutrient digestibility of such oligosaccharides having prebiotic properties. This result can indicate that supplementing broiler diets with crude oligosaccharides from CMM and ST had no negative effect on the growth performance and gut development of broilers.

Livestock production depends on the utilization of nutrients, and when this is accomplished, there is accelerated momentum toward growth with a low cost-to-feed ratio. Public concern over the consumption of pork with antibiotic residues in animals fed antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) has paved the way for using other natural additives to antibiotics, such as herbs and their products, probiotics, prebiotics, etc. Numerous feed additives are trending to achieve this goal, and a classic example is vitamins and minerals. Vitamins and minerals represent a relatively small percentage of the diet, but they are critical to animal health, well-being, and performance; both play a well-defined role in metabolism, and their requirements can vary depending on the physiological stage of the animals. At the same time, the absence of these vitamins and minerals in animal feed can impair the growth and development of muscles and bones. Most commercial feeds contain vitamins and trace minerals that meet nutrient requirements recommended by National Research Council and animal feeding standards. However, the potential variability and bioavailability of vitamins and trace elements in animal feeds remain controversial because daily feed intake varies, and vitamins are degraded by transportation, storage, and processing. Accordingly, the requirement for vitamins and minerals may need to be adjusted to reflect increased production levels, yet the information presented on this topic is still limited. Therefore, this review focuses on the role and function of different sources of minerals, the mode of action, the general need for micro and macro minerals in non-ruminant diets, and how they improve animal performance.

Inulin is a non-digestible carbohydrate and a prebiotic that can also act as a fat replacer in various foods. This study examined the effect of replacing vegetable oil with garlic inulin on the quality traits of chicken sausages. Water-based inulin gels were prepared using garlic inulin or commercial inulin to imitate fats in chicken sausages. Chicken sausages were prepared separately replacing vegetable oil with water-based inulin gels to reach final inulin percentages of 1, 2, and 3 (w/w). The control was prepared using 3% (w/w) vegetable oil with no inulin. The physicochemical properties and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) value of prepared sausages were analyzed over 28-d frozen storage. Sausages with 2% garlic inulin recorded higher flavour and overall acceptability scores (p<0.05). Ash, moisture, and protein contents of the sausages were increased with increasing levels of inulin while fat content was reduced from 13.67% (control) to 4.47%-4.85% (p<0.05) in 3% inulin-incorporated products. Sausages incorporated with 2% inulin had lower lightness (L^*) values than the control (p<0.05). Water holding capacity (WHC) was similar (p>0.05) among the samples. During storage L^* value, pH, and WHC decreased while redness (a^*) and yellowness (b^*) values increased in all the samples. In addition, TBARS values were increased during the storage in all samples within the acceptable limits. In conclusion, garlic inulin can be used successfully as a fat substitute in sausages without altering meat quality parameters.

Developing carbohydrate fat replacer as materials for low-calorie and low-fat food made of Korean potato, it is expected that the new demand of fat replacer will be created. Potato starch was modified by chemical modification. Observing modified starch(treated in different method) by SEM, EZ(treated by enzyme) showed shape of deformed round oval, AC(treated by acetylation,), HPR(treated by hydropropylation) showed shape similar to that of NL(N-Lite), the commercial fat replacer. In the modified starch such as AC, peak in B and C type similar to those of general starch was found, but EZ showed non-crystalline shape. Compared to other modified starch, HPR, the chemically produced denatured starch showed very peculiar peak and structure in V-form. While the order of contents of amylopectin was in the order HPR > EZ > AC showed extremely high contents. Measuring the degree of gelatinization per the modified method, the degree of gelatinization of HPR as much higher than others. The water binding activity of modified starch was 240% in HPR. Measuring viscosity by producing general starch and modified starch as gel of 10% concentration, the CPS showed very high viscosity of 30.30 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ cp. Showing viscosity of 38.60, 31.60 10$^3$ ${\times}$ cp, the modified starch was in the order of HPR. While the calorie of starch of GPS was measured to be 3.0 Kcal/g, very low calorie those of chemically modified starch, HPR showed 2.5 Kcal/g respectively, suggesting that calorie is decreased by modified treatment. The appropriateness of processing food was experimented by substituting the existing oil and fat containing food with saturated gel of starch and modified starch in constant rate through utilization of modified starch. Therefore, research and development for materials and related products which maintain the existing quality and reduce fat contents will be constantly performed in the future.

본 연구에서는 GM과 non-GM작물 특히 최근 들어 그 인증량이 급격하게 증가하고 있는 친환경작물과의 공존에 관하여 검토하여 보았다. 국내의 현행 법령에 의하면, 친환경 농산물은 GM농산물의 혼입허용치를 3%로 규정하고 있다. 특히 우수농산물의 경우 단계별 조사내용을 보면 "파종단계에서 GM종자를 포함하지 않을 것"을 명시하고 있다. 반면에 우리나라에서는 아직까지는 GM 작물의 상업적인 재배를 승인하지 않고 있다. 그러나 현재 GM 벼, 배추, 감자, 들잔디 등의 환경위해성평가가 수행 중에 있는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 농촌진흥청은 "유전자변형생물체의 국가 간 이동 등에 관한 법률"이 정하는 바에 따라 GM작물의 환경위해성 평가를 전담할 수 있도록 농촌진흥청산하 소속기관 및 대학교, 출연기관 등 11개 기관을 평가기관으로 지정하여 조만간 상업적인 GM작물의 재배를 승인하기 위한 준비를 하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 국내의 친환경농산물의 인증기관은 2008년 8월 현재 34개 민간기관으로 증가하였으며 이들 인증기관에서 부여한 친환경 인증 농산물의 재배면적 및 생산량은 해마다 기하급수적으로 늘어나고 있다. 예로서 친환경곡류의 경우 1999년도에 비하여 2007년도에는 그 인증량이 100배 (유기농)에서 2,324배 (저농약)까지 증가한 것으로 조사되었다. 이들은 2007년도의 전체 곡류생산량에 비하여 약 6.4%를 차지하였다. 특히 감자와 고구마 등 서류의 경우는 전체 생산량의 약 24%가 친환경인증농산물인 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 현실에서 GM작물의 상업적인 재배를 승인할 경우 기존의 국내 친환경농산물시장의 유통질서에 큰 혼란을 야기시킬 수 도 있을 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 저자는 아직 시간적인 여유가 있을 때에 EU에서 제기한 GM과 non-GM 특히 유기 농작물과의 공존을 위한 제도 보완에 관한 제안서와 다양한 연구보고서들을 면밀하게 검토할 필요성이 있다고 사료된다. 특히 작물별로 친환경작물과의 구분 생산 유통을 위한 최소격리거리, 작부체계, 수확 및 포장시스템, 그리고 GM작물의 검출기법 표준화 등에 관한 상세한 실시요령을 보완할 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

최근 생식제품에 대한 국민 선호도가 높아지고 판매량이 증가됨에 따라 안전하고 위생적인 생식의 유통을 유도하고, 위생 강화를 위한 미생물 규격 제정의 기초연구를 위하여 시판 생식 및 원재료에 대한 식중독균 분포실태를 조사하였다. 2002년부터 2004년까지 서울, 인천, 부산 등 전국 대도시를 중심으로 대형마트 및 통신판매에서 시판 중인 생식제품 191건을 구입하여 주요 식중 독균인 E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobactey jejuni, Yersinia enterocolitica, E. coli O157:H7, Vibrio parahaemolyticus를 검사하였다. 그 결과 B. cereus는 29건(15.2%), C. perfringens는 21건(11.0%), E. coli는 1건(0.5%)에서 검출되었으나 그 외 식중독균은 검출되지 않았다. 정량적 평가 결과 일반세균수는 $1.2X10^3cfu/g{\sim}1.6X10^9cfu/g$, B. cereus는 100 cfu/g 이하${\sim}11X10^3cfu/g$, C. perfringens는 100 cfu/g 이하${\sim}2.2x10^3cfu/g$의 분포를 보였다. 생식의 미생물 오염원을 파악하기 위하여 9개 생식제조공장에서 사용되고 있는 현미, 당근, 율무, 옥수수 등 53건의 원재료에 대한 미생물 분포도를 조사하였다. 그 결과 일반세균수는 $1.0X10^3cfu/g{\sim}1.5X10^8cfu/g$의 분포를 보였고, B. cereus는 13건(24.5%)에서 검출되었는데 11건(84.6%)이 100 cfu/g 이하이었다. C. perfringens는 2건(3.8%)에서 검출되었는데 모두 100 cfu/g 이하의 낮은 균수를 보였다. 생식 완제품과 같이 E. coli, Salmonella, S. aureus 등 8종의 식중독균은 검출되지 않았다. 본 실험 결과 유통 생식은 일반적으로 식중독균에 의한 위해 가능성이 적은 것으로 추정되었다. 그러나 제조과정 및 유통과정 중 부적절한 보관 및 유통에서 기인될 수 있는 오염균의 증식이나 교차오염 예방을 위한 철저한 관리는 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.
