Daba ecorace of Antheraea mylitta Drury (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), the semi domesticated Indian tropical tasar silkworm being reared outdoor; the egg and silk yields are dependent of genotype environment interaction. The insufficient maintenance and multiplication of its P4 seed stock need a coherent as well as scientific strategy to safeguard breed potential, being commercially applied ecorace. The sort-out lines of P4 stock studied over five generations highlighting on commercial trait up gradation suits for a tropical crop season, revealed enhanced performance. The line with high pupal parents (T2) shown improved fecundity (12.9%) and the line with high shell parents (T3) recorded higher shell weight (40.0%) and silk ratio (24.1%). While, the line of high pupal female and high shell male (T4) reveal enhancement in fecundity (9.0%), egg hatching (14.1%), shell weight (50.0%), silk ratio (35.2%) and absolute silk yield (52.0%) indicating the need and role of varied basic seed stock lines. The approach could improve economically vital egg fecundity and cocoon shell weights besides balancing them in same line for commercial operation. The progressive show of lines (T1 to T4) along successive generations (G1 to G5), in spite of passing through seed crop (Jul-Aug) and commercial crop (Sep-Nov) seasons emphasize their compatibility. The study infers that the strategic plan of combining preferred parental phenotypes, methodical selection for desired commercial trait(s) through generations with best possible genotype environment interaction has enriched P4 stock with elevation in needy trait(s) besides assuring choice of suitable lines for seasons and regions and timely replenishment of basic seed of Daba ecorace.

The study aimed to evaluate the best level of licury oil in the diet of 3/4 Boer goats, as determined by profile analysis of commercial cuts on aspects of chemical composition, sensorial quality and fatty acid content. Nineteen male goats were used, with an initial weight of 10.8 kg/live weigh. The animals were fed with hay and a concentrated mix containing different levels of licury oil, which constituted the treatments. The experiment lasted for 60 days, at which point the animals were submitted to feed fasting and slaughtered. The carcass weight, commercial yield and cuts were measured. The ham was collected for sensorial and chemical evaluation and the longissimus dorsi was collected for fatty acid profile analysis. The addition of licury oil to the diet did not promote changes in the proportions and weights of the commercial cuts, nor to the meat's sensorial attributes. The sum of medium-chain fatty acids and the atherogenicity index was increased with the addition of oil. Licury oil can be added to the diet of goats (up to 4.5%) without resulting in changes in to the proportions of the commercial cuts, or to the chemical composition or sensorial characteristics of the meat. Based on the chain length of fatty acids, the addition of 4.5% licury oil can improve the quality of meat, but no effect was noted in relation to the atherogenicity index.

Ni catalysts on mesoporous silica and commercial silica were prepared for the methanation. XRD and TPR analyses indicated that Ni/mesoporous silica had smaller metal particle size and higher metal dispersion than that of Ni/commercial silica. In addition, Ni/mesoporous silica had stronger metal-support interaction. In methanation, Ni/mesoporous silica showed higher CO conversion and methane yield (65%) than Ni/commercial silica (58%). In the characterization results of catalysts after reaction, Ni/commercial silica was deactivated by the collapse of structure and metal sintering, but Ni/mesoporous silica showed stable catalytic performance.

General characteristics and life span of silkworm moth were investigated amongst 277 gene resources preserved and maintained in Korea. Silkworm varieties were classified according to the commercial characteristics and the viability of tested varieties. There were significant differences among the eight different commercial characteristics of silkworm such as whole larval period, duration of 5th instar, pupal body weight, single cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight, cocoon shell ratio, cocoon yield and longevity, Tropical race showed the longest life span among the other five geographical races, and followed by Japanese, European, Chinese and Korean race in order. In the longevity of each variety, Daizo(sdi) showed the shortest life span with 4.3days, and J037 was the longest as 16.0 days. Average longevity of female was 11.1 days as showed 3.0 days longer than that of male which was 8.2 days. Total average longevity of the whole varieties was 9.7days. In the correlation between the longevity and commercial characteristics, there was a tendency that the commercial characteristics became better when the life span was longer. According to the result of Complete Linkage Cluster Analysis, the genetic resources of 277 silkworm varieties classified into 5 groups such as “Group I”for short life span with low cocoon yielding “Group II”for middle life span with middle cocoon yielding,“Group III”for the shortest life span with low cocoon yielding, “Group IV”for high pupation rate and the highest cocoon yielding with comparatively long life span, and “Group V”for the longest life span with comparatively high cocoon yielding.

This study was conducted to compare performance, carcass yield, and meat quality of 4 Korean indigenous commercial chickens (Hanhyup 3: G, Sorae 1: V, Woorimatdak 1: S, Woorimatdak 2: W). A total of 384 chickens were divided into 4 treatments with 4 Korean indigenous commercial chickens, 6 repetitions per treatment, and 16 birds per treatment (♀ 8 birds, ♂ 8 birds). For 12 weeks, body weight was significantly higher in G and V breeds than S and W breeds (P<0.01), but body weight gain lower in S breed (P<0.05). Feed conversion ratio was significantly higher in W breed at 8~10 wk of age (P<0.05). There was no significant difference on livability among four treatments. Carcass yield and fresh meat ratio were highest in V breed at 12 wk of age (P<0.05). On breast meat, shear force was lower in G breed (P<0.05), and higher in male than in female (P<0.05). Lightness (L^*) of breast meat was higher in female except V breed, and redness (a^*) was significantly higher in breed G (P<0.05). Yellowness (b^*) of breast meat was higher in G and V breeds, and higher in male than in female except breed G. In conclusion, G and V breeds showed superior performance, and S and W breeds showed superior meat quality.

The ground persimmon puree was treated with two kinds of commercial polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzymes (Viscozyme and Celluclast) in order to study their effects on the extraction yield, viscosity, color, titratable acidity and sugars. Hydrolysis with Viscozyme which has enzymatic activity of arabinase, cellulase, xylanase, hemicellulase and ${\beta}-glucanase$ significantly increased the extraction yield, L-value and reducing sugar and decreased in viscosity by treatment for 10 min at $50^{\circ}C$. The extraction yield of the juice was increased from 42.7% to 80% by Viscozyme while the Celluclast to 73.3%. On the other hand, the sensory properties of persimmon-like flavor, scarlet and orange color were greatly improved for the juice hydrolyzed with Viscozyme for 60 min.

In the present study, hybrid vigour in terms of heterosis and over dominance of newly evolved bivoltine hybrids and their reciprocals raised from the promising newly evolved bivoltine breeds were calculated for the important parameters like pupation, cocoon yield, cocoon weight, shell weight, shell ratio, raw silk percentage, filament length and neatness. Through there was no significant difference among the hybrids for the characters pupation, cocoon yield and cocoon weight, the magnitude of heterosis and over dominance were varied significantly for these characters. However, significant differences were observed between new hybrids and control hybrid for the characters like cocoon shell weight, cocoon shell ratio, filament length and raw silk percentage. The results indicate that majority of new hybrids have shown higher heterosis and over dominance than control hybrid. The data also indicate that highest mean heterosis of all new hybrids was recorded for cocoon yield followed by filament length. Whereas highest mean over dominance was recorded for cocoon yield followed by cocoon weight. Negative mean heterosis and over dominance were recorded for the trait cocoon shell ratio. Based on the results, the importance of three hybrids viz., CSR2 ${\times}$ CSR4, CSR2 ${\times}$ CSR5 and CSR3 ${\times}$ CSR6 and their reciprocals (CSR4 ${\times}$ CSR2, CSR5 ${\times}$ CSR2 and CSR6 ${\times}$ CSR3) which exhibited significant heterosis and over dominance, for commercial exploitation was discussed.

The solid yields and color changes of garlic aqueous extracts were determined to study the effects of enzymatic hydrolysis, pH treatment, and addition of organic acids and some organic or inorganic salts. Hydrolysis with commercial polysaccharases resulted in an $15{\sim}20%$ increase in the solid yields, with a greenish color change in the garlic extracts. pH treatment gave it similar effect at the pH range of $4.4{\sim}5.0$. Among the salts and acidulants used, $CaCl_2$, sodium oxalate, tartaric and phosphoric acids were effective for increase in the yield and $K_{4}P_{2}O_{7}$ was effective for both yield increase and control of greening.
