본 시험은 목탄 및 활성탄의 첨가가 사료의 반추위내 pH 발효성상 건물 및 영양소 소실율 가스 생산량에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 in vitro 조건에서 실시되었다. 활성탄과 목탄의 첨가 수준은 0.50% 및 1.0%의 수준이었으며, 사료의 조농비율은 오차드 건초와 농후사료 비율을 2:8로 하였다. 그리고 처리간 유의성은 5% 수준에서 검정하였다. 시험 결과를 요약하면, 위액의 pH는 활성탄의 첨가로 유의하게 높아졌다. 그리고 암모니아태 질소는 활성탄 첨가에 의하여 유의하게 높아졌으며, 목탄첨가구는 무첨가구와 비교할 때 유의한 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 또한 VFA molar ratio에서는 전구간에 유의한 차이가 인정되지 않았으며, C2/C3 비율은 유의한 차이는 아니지만 활성탄구가 다소 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 그러나 목탄 첨가구에서는 대조구와 유의한 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 건물 조단백질 조지방 NDF ADF 및 hemicellulose의 소실율은 활성탄 첨가에 의하여 유의하게 증가되는 경향을 나타냈다. 목탄첨가구에 있어서는 0.5%구보다는 1.0%구가 유의하게 높은 성적을 나타내었다. 그러나 hemicellulose의 소실율은 전구간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 가스 생산량에 미치는 영향은 활성탄 및 목탄 첨가구가 대조구에 비하여 유의하게 많은 양을 나타내었으며, 활성탄 첨가구와 목탄 첨가구를 비교하면 유의한 차이는 아니지만 활성탄 첨가구가 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 위 결과에서 보듯이 활성탄은 가축의 생산성 향상에 유리한 조건을 제공하는 경향이 있지만, 이것을 좀 더 명확히 밝히기 위해서는 활성탄의 흡착능력 위내의 세균총에 대한 연구 및 많은 생체실험도 병행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Objective: This study was to examine in vivo digestibility, nitrogen balance and ruminal fermentation of tamarind (Tamarind indica) kernel powder extract residue (TKPER) compared to soybean products and by-products in wethers. Methods: Four wethers with initial body weight (BW) of $51.6{\pm}5.5kg$ were assigned in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design to investigate nutritional characteristics of TKPER, dry heat soybean (SB), dry soybean curd residue (SBCR) and soybean meal (SBM) feeding with ryegrass straw (R) at a ratio of 1:1 at 2% of BW in dry matter (DM) on a daily basis. Results: The digestibility of DM, crude protein, and ether extract (EE) of TKPER-R diet were 57.0%, 87.0%, and 86.0%, respectively. Higher non-fiber carbohydrates digestibility was observed in TKPER-R diet (83.2%) than in SB-R diet (73.9%, p<0.05). Wethers fed the TKPER-R diet had lower retention of nitrogen (N) and ruminal ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3-N$) contents at 4 h after feeding than those fed the SBM-R diet (p<0.05), which had values similar to the SB-R or SBCR-R diet. The TKPER feeding had higher propionate (C3) and lower butyrate content, as well as lower acetate to propionate ratio (C2:C3) in rumen fluid than SBM feeding at 4 h after feeding (p<0.05). Conclusion: TKPER did not bring any side effect to the wethers although it was lack of fiber, and could be used as a high protein and energy ingredient in concentrate with appropriate roughage to meet the fiber requirement for ruminants.

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding ammoniated wheat straw treated with HCl on blood biochemical profiles in growing male buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) calves. Twenty-four growing male buffalo calves (one year of age, 88.54${\pm}$3.81 kg average body weight) were divided into three groups in a completely randomized design on the basis of their body weight. Animals in all the three groups were fed on concentrate mixture. In addition, they were offered wheat straw, ammoniated wheat straw (4% urea at 50% moisture level) and HCI treated ammoniated wheat straw (4% urea at 50% moisture level and HCl added to trap 30% of the NH3 evolved) in groups I, II and III, respectively for a period of 180 days, as per Kearl (1982) for body weight gain of 500 g/d. In all diets, concentrate:roughage ratio was fixed at 50:50 and were made isonitrogenous by adjusting CP levels of conc. mixtures. Blood was collected from jugular vein of each buffalo calf at the beginning and subsequently at two months interval of experimental feeding. Due to urea-ammoniation, the CP content of wheat straw increased from 2.90 to 6.96% and addition of HCl along with urea further increased the CP content to 10.09%. In all the three groups, the mean values of plasma glucose (mg %) and serum globulin (g %), showed a decreasing trend, while the mean value of serum TP (g %), serum A:G ratio, serum urea (mg %), serum creatinine (mg %), serum ALP (KA units), SGOT (units/ml.), SGPT (units/ml), serum T$_3$ and T$_4$ (ng/ml) showed an increasing trend with the advancement of feeding period. The cumulative period mean values of serum TP (6.15 to 6.20 g %), serum albumin (3.07 to 3.18, g %), serum globulin (2.98 to 3.09, g %), serum A:G ratio (1.03 to 1.10), serum ALP (23.15 to 23.63, KA units), serum T$_3$ (1.20 to 1.23 ng/ml) and serum T$_4$ (21.33 to 21.88 ng/ml) were comparable among the groups. The cumulative period mean plasma glucose (mg %) in group III (57.28) was similar to groups I (55.31) and II (59.41), however, the cumulative period mean plasma glucose in group II was significantly (p<0.01) higher than group I. The cumulative period mean serum urea (mg %) in group III (47.34) was significantly (p<0.001) higher than group I (38.38) and II (42.24), which were statistically alike. However, the cumulative period mean serum creatinine values (mg %) in groups II (1.43) and III (1.52) were similar and were significantly (p<0.01) higher than group I (1.24). The cumulative period mean SGOT (units/ml) in groups I, II and III was 91.71, 96.04 and 96.64, respectively. Similarly the cumulative period mean SGPT (units/ml) was 19.00, 19.93 and 20.01 in groups I, II and III, respectively. The cumulative period mean values of SGOT (p<0.05) and SGPT (p<0.001) in groups II and III were similar and were significantly higher than group I. The cumulative period mean serum T$_3$ and T$_4$ values in groups I (1.21 and 21.81), II (1.23 and 21.42) and III (1.20 and 21.33) were comparable. From the present study it may be concluded that feeding of AWS treated with and without HCI to growing male buffalo calves for 180 days had no significant adverse effect on blood biochemical profile.

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of lipid sources with different fatty acid profiles on nutrient digestion and ruminal fermentation. Ten rumen and duodenal fistulated Nellore steers (268 body weight${\pm}27kg$) were distributed in a duplicated $5{\times}5$ Latin square. Dietary treatments were as follows: without fat (WF), palm oil (PO), linseed oil (LO), protected fat (PF; Lactoplus), and whole soybeans (WS). The roughage feed was corn silage (600 g/kg on a dry matter [DM] basis) plus concentrate (400 g/kg on a DM basis). The higher intake of DM and organic matter (OM) (p<0.001) was found in animals on the diet with PF and WF (around 4.38 and 4.20 kg/d, respectively). Treatments with PO and LO decreased by around 10% the total digestibility of DM and OM (p<0.05). The addition of LO decreased by around 22.3% the neutral detergent fiber digestibility (p = 0.047) compared with other diets. The higher microbial protein synthesis was found in animals on the diet with LO and WS (33 g N/kg OM apparently digested in the rumen; p = 0.040). The highest C18:0 and linolenic acid intakes occurred in animals fed LO (p<0.001), and the highest intake of oleic (p = 0.002) and C16 acids (p = 0.022) occurred with the diets with LO and PF. Diet with PF decreased biohydrogenation extent (p = 0.05) of C18:1 n9,c, C18:2 n6,c, and total unsaturated fatty acids (UFA; around 20%, 7%, and 13%, respectively). The diet with PF and WF increased the concentration of $NH_3-N$ (p<0.001); however, the diet did not change volatile fatty acids (p>0.05), such as the molar percentage of acetate, propionate, butyrate and the acetate:propionate ratio. Treatments PO, LO and with WS decreased by around 50% the concentration of protozoa (p<0.001). Diets with some type of protection (PF and WS) decreased the effects of lipid on ruminal fermentation and presented similar outflow of benefit UFA as LO.

An experiment was conducted to examine the performance and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo (Korean native beef cattle) heifers and the fatty acid composition of muscle tissues of the heifers when the animals fed diets containing four levels of dried wormwood (Artemisia sp.). For the experiment the animals were given a basal diet consisting of rice straw and concentrate mixed at 3:7 ratio (on DM basis). The treatments were designed as a completely randomized design with two feeding periods. Heifers were allotted in one of four dietary treatments, which were designed to progressively substitute dried wormwood for 0, 3, 5 and 10% of the rice straw in the basal diet. There was no difference in body weight gain throughout the entire period between the treatment groups. Feed conversion rate was improved (p<0.05) only by the 3% dried wormwood inclusion treatment compared with the basal treatment. Carcass weight, carcass yield and backfat thickness of all treatment groups were not altered by wormwood inclusion. The 5% dried wormwood inclusion significantly increased (p<0.05) the size of loin-eye area over the other treatments. The higher levels (5 and 10%) of dried wormwood inclusion resulted in the higher (p<0.05) water holding capacity (WHC) in loin than the lower levels (0 and 3%) of wormwood inclusion. The redness ($a^*$) and yellowness ($b^*$) values of meat color were significantly lower (p<0.05) in the top round muscle of heifers fed the diet containing 3% dried wormwood. There was a profound effect of the progressively increased intake of dried wormwood led to the linear increase of unsaturated fatty acid content and the linear decrease of saturated fatty acid content in the muscle tissues of Hanwoo heifers. It is concluded that the feeding diets containing dried wormwood substituted for equal weights of rice straw at 5% levels would be anticipated to provide better quality roughage for beef heifer production and economical benefits for beef cattle producers.

The present study was conducted to investigate the supplementation effects of $C_{18:2}$ rich-soybean oil or $C_{18:3}$ rich-perilla oil (7% of total diet, DM basis) for 12 weeks on plasma metabolites, fatty acid profile, in vitro lipogenesis, and activities of LPL and FAS in adipose tissue of sheep. The treatments were basal diet (Control), $C_{18:2}$ rich-soybean oil supplemented diet (SO-D) and $C_{18:3}$ rich-perilla oil supplemented diet (PO-D). All the sheep were fed the diets consisting of roughage to concentrate in the ratio of 40:60 (DM basis). Oil supplemented diets (SO-D and PO-D) slightly increased contents of triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC), proportions of both cis-9 trans-11 and trans-10 cis-12 CLA and TVA, but lowered (p<0.01) those of $C_{18:0}$ compared to the control diet. No differences were observed in the contents of TG and TC and proportions of fatty acids in plasma between supplemented oils. Oil supplemented diets slightly increased the proportions of cis-9 trans-11 and trans-10 cis-12 types of CLA in subcutaneous adipose tissue of sheep compared to the control diet. The rate of lipogenesis with acetate was higher (p<0.01) for intermuscular- and subcutaneous adipose tissues than that for intramuscular adipose tissue, while that with glucose did not differ among fat locations in sheep fed SO-D. No differences were observed in the rate of lipogenesis between substrates in all fat locations. The rates of lipogenesis with glucose increased only in the intermuscular- (p<0.01) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (p<0.005) compared to those with acetate. The rates of lipogenesis with acetate were the highest in the intermuscular and intramuscular adipose tissue of the sheep fed PO-D. Oil supplemented diets slightly increased the rate of lipogenesis with glucose for all fat locations. Supplementation of oils to the diet numerically increased the fatty acid synthase activity but did not affect the lipoprotein lipase activity in subcutaneous adipose tissue.

The effects of different levels of crude protein (CP) and cottonseed meal replacing for soybean meal in cassava chips and rice straw-based diets for mid-lactating cows (100-150 day in milk [DIM]), were studied using 32 multiparous Holstein Fresian crossbred dairy cows. Diets containing 10.5, 12.5, 13.7, 14.4% CP of the rations and 0, 12.1, 14.9, 17.8% cottonseed meal were fed to cows for 60 days. Thirty two cows were randomly divided into four dietary treatments using a Randomized complete block design. Four dietary treatments were offered in the form of total mixed ration (TMR) with concentrate to roughage (chopped rice straw) at 60:40 and offered ad libitum. Dry matter (DM) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) intakes tended to linearly increase with increasing dietary CP levels. Intakes and digestibility of crude protein increased linearly with increasing dietary CP level (p<0.01). Crude protein digestibility of the 10.5% CP diet was lower (p<0.05) than that in diets with higher levels of CP, while there were no significant differences among the other three levels of CP (12.5, 13.7 and 14.4%). Daily milk yield tended to increase with increased CP from 10.5 to 14.4%. Income over feed in terms of US$/kg of milk increased with increased CP from 10.5 to 13.7% and decreased when the CP level was higher than 13.7% (quadratic effect p<0.09). Milk composition was not significantly affected by increasing level of CP, however there were relatively high contents of protein and fat among treatments. The proportion of milk-urea N (MUN), ammonia-N ($NH_3$-N) and bloodurea N (BUN) were closely correlated and increased linearly with increasing CP levels (p<0.01). Balanced diet was found in diet containing 12.5 and 13.7% CP of the rations when BUN and MUN were used as indicators of the protein to energy ratio in the diet. Conclusions can be made that increasing dietary CP levels from 10.5 to 13.7% using cottonseed meal as the main source to completely replace soybean meal was beneficial to cows consuming rice straw and cassava chips based-diets. Increasing the CP level above 13.7% of total ration did not additionally improve milk yield and composition or net income.

Monensin의 첨가 급여가 한우의 육생산 효율 및 제1위내 발효성상에 미치는 효과를 구명하고자 본 실험을 실시하였다. 거세우 72두(평균체중 266.9kg)를 0, 22, 및 33 ppm의 monensm 처리구에 처리당 3반복, 반복당 8두씩 체중이 비슷하도록 배치하여 옥외 사육장에서 140일간 사양시험을 실시하였다. Monensin은 농후사료에 0, 22, 및 33 ppm 수준으로 첨가하였으며, 농후사료와 조사료(15cm 정도로 절단한 볏짚)는 자유채식 시켰다. 본 실험에서 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 일당증체량은 각 처리구 간에 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 2. 총사료(농후사료+조사료)섭취량은 처리구간에 유의성은 없었으나 monensin 급여수준의 증가와 함께 감소하는 경향이어서 33ppm구에서 약 5% 의 감소를 나타내었다. 3. 총사료효율(총사료섭취량/증체량)에 있어서는 처리구간에 유의성은 없었으나 0ppm 구에 비하여 22ppm구와 33ppm구가 각각 5.2%와 5.1%의 거의 통일한 개선을 나타냈다. 4. 제1위내 total VFA와 acetic acid의 농도는 monensin에 의한 일정한 경향이 없었고, propionic acid 농도는 처리간에 유의성은 없었으나 무첨가구에 비하여 22 및 33ppm 구에서 각각 13.8%와 19.3%의 증가를 보였다. Butyric acid 농도는 22ppm구에서도 감소하는 경향이었지만, 33ppm구에서는 유의한 ($p{\leq}0.054$) 감소가 인정되었다. A/P비는 monensin 무첨가구에 비하여 22ppm구와 33ppm구에서 각각 12.5 %의 감소를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 monensin은 propionic acid 의 증가와 butyric acid 의 감소 및 A/P비의 감소를 가져오는 효과와 함께 사료섭취량을 감소시켜서 비육우의 사료효율을 개선하는 효과가 있었다. 따라서 monensin은 축우의 비육시 육생산 효율을 높이기 위한 사료첨가제로서 충분한 사용가치가 있다고 사료되며, 22ppm과 33ppm 수준이 거의 통일한 사료효율을 보인 것으로 보아 22ppm 수준에서도 기대하는 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

본 시험은 두충 잎을 저질 조사료인 볏짚의 일부로 대체․이용할 목적으로 평균체중 50.2 $\pm$1.6kg의 건강한 숫 면양(Corriedale$\time$Polwarth) 4두로 4$\time$4 라틴 방각법으로 실시하였으며, 이때 농후사료 : 조사료의 비율은 3：7이었다. 시험구는 두충을 대체하지 않은 대조구와 조사료인 볏짚의 건물을 기준으로 음건 두충 잎을 3, 5 및 10% 대체한 4개 처리구를 공시하였으며, 영양소 이용율, 기호성, 반추위 내 발효 특성 및 미생물체단백질 합성량을 조사․분석하였다. 조지방 소화율은 3% 구와 5% 구가 대조구에 비하여 약 12.5-17.5%로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 조섬유 소화율은 두충잎을 대체한 모든 처리구가 대조구에 비하여 약 10.6-13.7%로 개선되었다(p<0.05). 건물 섭취량은 10% 구가 844g으로 가장 많았으며 5% 구는 그 다음으로 많이 섭취하였으며, 대조구와 3% 구는 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). 질소 축적량은 3% 구가 대조구에 비하여 약 97%가 개선되었으며, 5% 구와 10% 구가 약 173-192%가 개선되었다(p<0.05). 유기물 이용율은 3% 구와 5% 구가 대조구에 비해 높았다(p<0.05). PD(purine derivatives) 배설량은 5% 구가 2.90mmol/d로 대조구와 3% 구에 비하여 높았다(p<0.05). 미생물체단백질 합성량은 5% 구가 2.51gN/d로 대조구와 3% 구에 비하여 높았다(p<0.05). 반추위내 total VFA 함량은 두충 잎 처리구에서 높게 나타났다. RAN 함량은 두충 잎 급여 후 1-4시간에 15-19mg/100ml로 높게 유지되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 두충 잎을 음건하여 반추동물에게 5-10%를 대체하여 급여할 경우 영양소 소화율, 기호성 및 반추위 내 발효조건 개선에 유리할 것으로 생각된다.
