본 실험은 Cu-soy proteinate(Cu-SP)와 Herb-Mix(HBM)을 단독 또는 혼합급여가 산란계의 생산성, 혈액성상 및 면역체계에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 실시하였다. 사양시험은 60주령의 산란계(Hy-Line Brown) 800수를 선별하여 A형 2단 4열 케이지에 대조구 포함 총 4처리구로 구성하여 처리 당 5반복, 반복당 40수씩(2수 수용 케이지 25개) 난괴법으로 임의 배치하였다. 시험 기간 동안 물과 사료는 자유 섭취하게 하였으며, 일반적인 점등 관리(자연일조+조명=16 hr)를 실시하였다. 처리구들은 대조구, Cu-SP(Cu-soy proteinate로 Cu 100 ppm 첨가구), HBM(지황 10%, 산약 10%, 당귀 20%, 오미자 5%, 감초 5%, 천궁 10%) 0.15% 첨가구, Cu-SP+HBM(Cu-spy proteinate로 Cu 100 ppm 첨가구+HBM 0.15%) 첨가구는 총 4 처리구였다. 5주간의 사양 실험 결과, 일계 산란율(Hen-day egg production)은 Cu-SP구와 HBM의 단독 급여가 대조구와 비교하여 유의적으로(P<0.05) 높았으며, 사료 섭취량, 사료 요구율, 난중, 연파란율은 처리구 간에 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 난각 강도는 Cu-SP구가 대조구와 비교하여 유의적으로(P<0.05) 높았으며, 난각 두께, 난각색, 난황색, Haugh unit은 처리구 간에 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. Leukocyte 수치 중 백혈구 수치는 Cu-SP+HBM구가 HBM과 비교하여 유의적으로(P<0.05) 높았으며, 스트레스 지수는 Cu-SP구가 대조구와 HBM구와 비교하여 유의적으로(P<0.05) 높았다. IgG 함량은 첨가구들이 대조구와 비교하여(P<0.05) 유의적으로 높았음을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 Cu-SP와 HBM의 단독 또는 혼합급여는 둘 다 생산성을 증가시키며, 면역성상을 개선시키는 효과를 보여주었다.

Copper-bearing montmorillonite (Cu-MMT) was produced by $Cu^{2+}$ cation exchange reaction. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that that the (001) basal spacing of the MMT crystal lattice increased from 1.544 to 1.588 nm after $Cu^{2+}$ exchange. This indicated that $Cu^{2+}$ entered into interlayer position of MMT as a hydrated cation or composite cation. In vitro results indicated that Cu-MMT had antibacterial activity on Escherichia coli $K_{88}$. Cu-MMT had unbalanced positive charge after cation exchange. Its antibacterial activity resulted from two aspects, one was electrostatic attraction which made E. coli $K_{88}$ being adhered on the montmorillonite surface, the other was the $Cu^{2+}$ slowly released, which could kill bacteria. In an in vivo study, four replicates of eight weanling pigs were assigned to each of two dietary treatments to study the effects of Cu-MMT on diarrhea, E. coli in the lumen of the jejunum and morphology of jejunal mucosa. As compared to the control, supplementation of the diet with 0.2% Cu-MMT improved average daily gain by 12.50% (p<0.05) and decreased F/G by 9.42% (p<0.05). The mean diarrhrea incidence was decreased by 71.80% (p<0.05). The viable counts of Escherichia coli in jejunal contents were significantly reduced (p<0.05). Villus height and the villus height to crypt depth ratio at the jejunal mucosa were increased by 19.09% (p<0.05) and 37.10% (p<0.05), respectively.

Background: Blackened intestines in slaughtered pigs have been commonly observed in China in recent years. However, no cause has been reported. Objectives: We attempted to determine whether the blackening of the pig intestine was related to an excess of copper (Cu) in their feed. Methods: In this study, we observed and collected porcine intestines in small- and large-scale pig slaughterhouses in Shandong province from May to October 2018. Twelve types of metal ions were detected in the black intestinal samples. Results: The Cu level in the intestine samples was mostly higher than the Chinese national limit for food. Further study showed that Cu supplementation in most commercial porcine feed also exceeded the national standard. An animal model (mouse) that could mimic the intestinal blackening in pigs was established. Compared to control mice, Cu accumulated in the liver and intestines of mice fed an excessive Cu level, confirming the excessive Cu in the feed may be considered the major cause of blackened porcine intestines. Microscopic examination revealed that black intestines had many particles containing Cu in the lamina propria of the intestinal mucosa, and the intestinal mucosal epithelial cells showed degeneration and necrosis. Conclusions: In conclusion, overuse of Cu in animal feed can lead to animal poisoning and Cu accumulation in animal products. Such overuse not only harms the health of livestock but can also affect public health.

Forty-eight individually fed Angus steers (body weight $220kg{\pm}9.1$) were utilized to investigate the effects of copper (Cu) source and concentration on lipid metabolism and carcass quality. Steers were stratified by body weight and initial liver Cu concentration and randomly assigned to one of five groups. Groups were then randomly assigned to treatments. Treatments consisted of: 1) control (no supplemental Cu); 2) 10 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$; 3) 10 mg Cu/kg DM from a Cu amino acid complex (Availa Cu) 4) 20 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$; and 5) 20 mg Cu/kg DM from Availa Cu. Steers were fed a corn-alfalfa-based growing diet for 56 d. Steers were then switched to a high concentrate finishing diet for 145 d. On day 74 of the finishing phase subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies were obtained from three steers/treatment to determine basal and stimulated lipolytic rates in vitro. Steers were then slaughtered after receiving the finishing diet for 145 d. Control steers tended (p<0.12) to have lower ceruloplasmin (Cp) activity than Cu supplemented steers. Steers receiving 20 mg Cu/kg DM from Availa Cu had higher (p<0.03) Cp activity than steers receiving 20 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$. Plasma non-esterified fatty acids were similar across treatments. Steers receiving 10 mg Cu/kg DM from Availa Cu had higher (p<0.02) total plasma cholesterol concentrations relative to steers receiving 10 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$. Steers receiving 20 mg Cu/kg DM from Availa Cu had lower (p<0.03) plasma triglyceride concentrations than steers supplemented with 20 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$. Fatty acid profile of longissimus muscle was similar across treatments. Backfat depth tended (p<0.18) to be lower in Cu supplemented steers relative to controls. Steers supplemented with 20 mg Cu/kg DM from Availa Cu had heavier (p<0.03) hot carcass weights and a greater (p<0.02) dressing percentage than steers supplemented with 20 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$. Furthermore, in vitro basal (p<0.06) and epinephrine stimulated (p<0.04) lipolytic rates of subcutaneous adipose tissue were higher in Cu supplemented steers relative to controls. The results of this study suggest that Cu supplementation has minimal effects on blood and lean tissue lipid profile. However, it appears that Cu may play a role in lipid metabolism in subcutaneous adipose tissue.

In order to explore the potential of ascorbic acid supplementation for the prevention and treatment of herpes simplex viral diseases, plaque reduction assays were performed. Ascorbic acid as well as copper chloride/ferric chloride were added to wells containing Vero cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), and the infectivity of HSV-1 was determined. Since copper and iron are major transition metals in human plasma, near the normal human plasma concentrations of them were used for experiments. When Cu(II) and Fe(III) were applied, there were no significant differences between virus control and Cu(II)/Fe(III)-treated groups. But, when appropriate concentrations of ascorbic acid were added to wells, meaningful differences between control and ascorbate-treated groups were found. In the presence of Cu(II)/Fe(III) at $5.8/3.7\;{\mu}M$, 72-h treatment with ascorbate at $50\;{\mu}M$ reduced HSV-1 infections to $10.77%{\pm}4.25%$ (P < 0.001) and $500\;{\mu}M$ did to $3.06%{\pm}1.62%$ (P < 0.001). Moreover, the cytotoxicities for Vero cells at those concentrations were insignificant (P > 0.05). Current recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of ascorbic acid is 60 mg/day, and the oral intake of 60 mg/day of ascorbic acid yields plasma ascorbic acid at 45 to $58\;{\mu}M$ in a healthy adult man. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that the maintenance of appropriate level (more than $50\;{\mu}M$) of ascorbic acid in human plasma by appropriate amount (more than the RDA) of ascorbic acid supplementation may be helpful for the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by HSV -1 in an adult man. In addition, this study also suggests that ascorbic acid may be useful for the prophylaxis of fatal HSV-1 infections in neonates and the prevention of HSV-1 reactivation in immunocompromised hosts.

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of phytase supplementation to the diets containing different levels of non-phytate phosphorus (NPP). A $3{\times}2$ factorial arrangement of treatments was employed. There were three dietary NPP levels of control (C) (0.45% for starter diet and 0.35% for grower diet), C-0.1% NPP (0.35% for starter diet and 0.25% for grower diet), and C-0.2% NPP (0.25% for starter diet and 0.15% for grower diet) and two phytase levels (0 and 500 U/kg). Reduced dietary NPP decreased feed intake and weight gain and increased mortality whereas dietary phytase increased feed intake and weight gain and decreased mortality. Supplemental phytase improved availabilities of dry matter, crude fat, ash, P, Zn, Mg, and Cu whereas dietary NPP level did not affect availabilities of nutrients except decreased Zn availability and increased Cu availability in reduced NPP diets. Nutrient retention of N, ash, Ca, P, Mg, and Zn were linearly decreased as dietary NPP levels reduced but dietary phytase increased their retention. Reduced dietary NPP increased ash excretion but decreased P and Cu excretion while dietary phytase decreased N excretion. Weight, length, girth and contents of ash, Ca, P and Mg of tibia linearly decreased as dietary NPP levels reduced. Dietary phytase increased length and ash content of tibia. It is concluded that dietary phytase can reduce P excretion and alleviate adverse affects caused by feeding low dietary NPP. Effects of phytase were greater in the lower NPP diets.

A broiler experiment was conducted to compare the effects of duration and level of iron-methionine chelate (Fe-Met) supplementation on the iron, copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) content of broiler meat. Two hundred and fifty hatched Ross broiler chickens were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatments. Each treatment had 5 replicates of 10 birds (5 males and 5 females) each. Birds were housed in raised floor batteries and fed traditional broiler diets ad libitum for 5 weeks. Dietary treatments were as follows: Control and two levels of Fe-Met (100 or 200 ppm in Fe) supplemented for either the whole period (0-5 wk) or grower period (4-5 wk). Production performance was not significantly affected by treatments. Iron content in the muscles (breast, leg and wing) and organs (liver and spleen) were significantly (p<0.05) increased as the level and duration of Fe-Met supplementation increased. The highest concentration of iron was shown in Fe-Met 200 fed for the whole period. Liver contained the highest amount of iron followed by spleen, leg muscle, wing muscle and breast muscle. Supplementation of Fe-Met 200 for the grower period resulted in higher iron concentration in liver and spleen than supplementation of Fe-Met 100 for the whole period. However, the same treatment resulted in lower iron concentration in muscles (breast, leg and wing) than the treatment of Fe-Met 100 for the whole period. In order to achieve the highest iron enrichment in the muscles, Fe-Met should be supplemented at 200 ppm in Fe for the whole period (5 wks). Fe-Met supplementation increased copper concentration in all muscles and organs except wing muscle. Zinc concentration decreased in breast and wing muscle but tended to increase in leg muscle, liver and spleen by Fe-Met 200 supplementation. Color of muscle was not significantly affected by Fe-Met treatments. However, redness of leg and breast muscle, and yellowness of leg and breast muscle tended to increase by supplementation of Fe-Met for the whole period. It was concluded that iron content of broiler meat can be effectively enriched by supplementation of 200 ppm of Fe as Fe-Met for 5 wks.

최근 건강에 대한 관심이 증가하고 유리기 산소에 의한 산화 및 염증이 다양한 질환과 관련이 있다는 사실이 밝혀지면서 식품류는 의약품에 비해 장기간 섭취하여도 안전하고 친숙하게 접할 수 있는 장점 때문에 천연물이나 각종 식품류에서 항산화 및 항염증과 관련된 새로운 물질을 탐색하는 연구가 활발하게 진행중에 있다. 그 가운데 4배성 휘커스 오디품종 '대성뽕' [Morus Lhos(Ser.) Koids]의 주색소는 anthocyanins이며, cyanidin-3-glucoside형태로 0.794% DW가 함유되어 있어서, 다른 오디품종에 비해 많은 양이므로 항산화 활성도 비례하여 클 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 오디추출물의 중년 남, 녀의 혈청 무기질과 항산화 관련 물질에 대한 개선에 대한 효과를 알아보고자 4주간 오디추출물을 급여(100 mL/day)하여 섭취 전 후의 혈청 무기질 및 혈중 항산화 관련물질을 분석하여 비교하였다. 1차적으로는 오디추출물을 제조하여 무기질 함량과 항산화능을 측정한 결과 무기질 함량은 칼슘(80.66 mg), 마그네슘(12.26 mg), 철분(6.26 mg), 구리(0.05 mg), 아연(4.01 mg) 함량으로 나타나 칼슘, 철분, 아연 함량이 높게 나타났다. DPPH소거능에 따른 오디추출물의 항산화능을 보면 비타민 C를 기준(100%)으로 했을때 cyanidin-3-glucoside는 85%,오디추출물은 34%로 cyanidin 3-glucoside의 약 40%의 소거능력을 보였다. 2차적으로는 이러한 오디추출물 섭취 전과 후 대상자들의 혈청 중 무기질 수준을 조사해 보았을때 여자 대상자의 경우 혈청 철분, 구리 및 아연 함량이 유의적으로 증가되었고, 남자 대상자의 경우는 철분 함량만이 유의적인 증가를 보였다. 혈청 지질산화와 관련 있는 혈청의 TBARS와 FRAP수준의 변화를 조사한결과 오디추출물 급여 후 남자, 여자 대상자의 혈청 FRAP수준이 유의적으로 증가되었고, 평균 혈청 TBARS 수준은 남, 녀 모두 감소되는 경향은 보였다. 결과적으로 오디는 항산화성이 뛰어나고 무기질을 공급할 수 있는 새로운 과일로 가치가 있다고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 철의 섭취수준이 증가함에 따라 다양한 무기질의 이용변화를 알아보기 위하여 흰쥐를 대상으로 적정수준, 적정수준의 2배와 4배의 철을 6주간 공급한 후 칼슘, 마그네슘, 나트륨, 칼륨, 철, 구리, 아연의 혈청 수준 및 섭취량과 배설량에 의한 평형상태를 비교, 분석하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 사료 섭취량, 체중 증가량 및 사료효율은 철 보충에 따른 유의한 차이가 없었다. 철 보충에 따른 혈청 철과 아연 함량은 각 군별 차이를 보여 철 함량은 2배 공급군이 유의하게 낮았고 아연 함량은 4배 공급군이 다른 두군에 비해 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05, p<0.05). 철 보충에 따라 철 섭취량이 유의적으로 증가한 것(p<0.01)을 제외하고 그 밖의 무기질 섭취량은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 소변 중 무기질 배설량은 철 보충에 따라 칼슘, 나트륨, 철, 구리, 아연이 각 군별 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.01, p<0.01, p<0.001, p<0.05, p<0.01). 대변 중 무기질 배설량은 철 보충에 따른 유의한 차이가 없었다. 1일 무기질 보유량은 철 보충에 따라 나트륨과 철이 유의한 차이를 보여(p<0.05, p<0.01) 철 보충이 증가할수록 이들 무기질의 보유량이 높게 나타났다. 그러나 무기질 흡수율은 철 보충에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합할 때 요구량의 2배와 4배의 철 보충에 따라 무기질의 겉보기 흡수율은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 그러나 칼슘, 철, 구리, 아연의 소변중 배설량은 철 보충에 따라 유의적으로 감소함으로써 장기적인 철 보충이 이루어진다면 이와 같은 무기질의 체내 보유량이 감소함에 따라 영양상태가 저하될 수 있을 것으로 보여진다. 이와 같은 결과는 다양한 무기질의 평형상태를 유지하기 위 해서는 무기질 보충제를 이용하는 것보다 균형 잡힌 영양섭취나 일상식사를 통해 적정한 섭취수준을 유지하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 제시해주며, 앞으로 이에 대한 영양지도와 지속적 인 연구가 요구된다.

The effects of different mineral supplementations on the milk yield of free-ranging Somali camels were investigated in two phases in a semi-arid region of northern Kenya during the dry and wet seasons in 2002 and 2003. In phase 1, twelve (12) lactating camels were selected at random to form four (4) groups each consisting of three camels. The first group served as the control and as a result received no mineral supplementation. In addition to the control diet the other groups received oral doses of minerals as follows over a 60-day period: T1 (P), T2 (High Cu low Co) and T3 (Low Cu high Co). The daily milk yield and blood mineral profiles were measured during the wet and dry seasons. The mean daily milk yield increased from 3.4 L/d to $4.3{\pm}0.3L/d$ and 5.2 L/d in the dry and wet seasons, respectively. Fifteen (15) lactating camels were selected at random to form five groups each consisting of three replicates. The control group did not receive any mineral supplement. The other four groups in addition to the control diet, received the following treatments: T4 (Common Salt), T5 (High Co), T6 (High Co+P) and T7 (Low Co+P). Mineral supplement T6 produced significantly higher milk yield ($5.4{\pm}0.5$ and $6.5{\pm}0.7L/d$) during the dry and wet seasons. Both T6 and T7 had significantly higher milk yield than T4 and T5. During both phases, the blood Ca and P level significantly increased in camels receiving T1, 6 and 7. Animals that received only the trace mineral supplements had lower blood P compared to the ones receiving supplementary P and also the control. Supplementation of lactating camels with Co and P significantly (p<0.05) increased milk yield). Effect of common salt, commonly given by farmers, on milk yield was insignificant. It was concluded that mineral supplementation to lactating camels was beneficial, and that mineral supplements should include P and Co. Further research is required to establish P and Co requirements of lactating camels.
