This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary Bacillus subtilis on meat quality, growth performance and fecal malodor gas emission in finishing pigs. Thirty-six pigs (Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire ${\times}$ Duroc, $83.53{\pm}1.01\;kg$ average initial body weight) were used in a 35 d growth assay. Dietary treatments were 1) CON (basal diet), 2) B1 (basal diet + B. subtilis 0.1%) and 3) B2 (basal diet + B. subtilis 0.2%). The pigs were distributed into four pigs per pen with three replicate pens per treatments by completely randomized design. For the entire period, the final weight, ADO, ADFI and gain/feed were not significantly different among the treatments. There were no significant differences in meat quality (sensory evalution, meat color, TBARS, water holding capacity, drip loss, cooking loss and M. longissimus dorsi area) among the treatments. $H_2S$ was significantly decreased in B2 treatment compared to CON and B1 treatments (p<0.05). However, ammonia, mercaptans and acetic acid were not significantly different among the treatments. In conclusion, B. subtilis 0.2% treatments decreased fecal $H_2S$ gas emission in finishing pigs.

This study was conducted to effect a complex fertilizer treatment on a recovery of damaged turfgrass caused by competing with tree at area under trees, and to seek for effective management system on damaged areas under trees in golf courses. Available phosphorous and potassium were enough to grow up turfgrass in plots of East valley and Ji San Golf Club. But these plots were acid soil ranged from pH 5.3 to pH 5.5, so that lime fertilizer was required for improving the chemical of soil. The effect on complex fertilizer showed significant f3r the recovery of damaged turfgrass. Turfgrass recovery ratio by complex fertilizer was better in low-density(LD) section of fertilizer than in high-density(HD) section of control. As the result of surveying turfgrass characters according to dates, dry matters in HD sections of control plots were higher than these in LD sections of fertilizer plots in 6 Aug. before sprinkling a complex fertilizer. But dry matters in LD section of fertilizer were, on the contrary, higher than in 6 Sep. after sprinkling complex fertilizer. In view of the result so far conducted, a turfgrass recovery to LD sections of complex fertilizer was batter than that of HD sections of control. Sprinkling complex fertilizer on turfgrass damaged by competing with trees will maintain the turfgrass growth, even though happen to compete between trees and turfgrass.

In this study, we investigated the production process and the chemical composition of saccharogenic mixed grain beverages (SMGBs). Various SMGBs were prepared through saccharification with Aspergillus (A.) oryzae CF1003 (A), A. acidus KACC46420 (B), Rhizopus (R.) delemar KACC46149 (C), R. oryzae KACC45714 (D), R. oryzae KACC46148 (E), A~E mixed strains (F), A. oryzae CF1001 (G), A. acidus CF1005 (H) and A+H mixed strains (I)-starter at $53^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The saccharogenic power of the strains was higher in samples F and G. The soluble solid ($^{\circ}Brix$) of SMGBs were the highest in Sample C. The moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, and crude ash content of various SMGBs showed a range of 77.9~80.7%, 3.7~7.5%, 0.37~0.97% and 1.81~7.47%, respectively. The viscosity of various SMGBs were in the range of 60~528. Further, free amino acid contents of SMGBs were in the range of 347~1,352 ${\mu}g/$ 100 g, respectively. From these results, we could secure the possibility and basic information for the development of SMGBs products. For future studies, we need to improve the taste and functionality of the products.

This study aimed at comparing the antioxidant activity of premature mandarin (PM) vinegars by varying harvest periods (July, August, and September) and raw material conditions (PM fruit, PMF; PM fruit with 10% dried Citri Unshius Pericarpium Immaturus (CUPI), PMF-D, and PM fruit with 10% roasted CUPI, PMF-R). We found that the PM harvested in July exhibited the highest phenol content. Meanwhile, the July and August harvests showed stronger DPPH radical scavenging and reducing power. The phenol content of PMF-R vinegar was 0.62±0.02 ㎍ GAE/mL, more than two times higher than that of PMF vinegar. The DPPH radical scavenging capacity and reducing power were the highest in the PMF-R vinegar, at 4.71±0.07 and 7.47±0.28 nL/mL, respectively. Therefore, it could be expected that PM vinegar prepared by adding roasted CUPI and harvested in July would exhibit high antioxidant activity and could be used as functional vinegar.

This paper analyzed transition pathways toward a low carbon society in Korea to meet global $2^{\circ}C$ climate target. Lower economic growth, industrial structure change, enhance of energy demand management, decarbonization of power sector, and replacement of low carbon fuel could reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from fuel combustion in 2050 by 67% against in 2011, or by 74% against in BAU (Business-As-Usual). Lower economic growth contributes to 13% of cumulative emission reduction relative to BAU, industrial structure change 9%, enhance of energy demand management 72%, decarbonization of power sector 5% and replacement of low carbon fuel 1% respectively. Final energy consumption in 2050 needs to be reduced to 50% relative to 2011, or to 41% relative to BAU. Nuclear, coal and renewable energy represent 31%, 40%, 2% respectively among electricity generation in 2011, but 38%, 2%, 32% in 2050. CCS represents 23% of total generation in 2050. Emission intensity of electricity in 2050 was decreased to 19% relative to 2011, or to 24% relative to BAU. Primary energy in 2050 was decreased to 64% compared to 2011, or to 44% compared to BAU. Final energy consumption, primary energy supply and GHG emission from fuel combustion from 1990 to 2011 increased by 176%, 197%, 146%. Radical change from historical trend is required to transit toward a low carbon society by 2050. Appropriate economic growth, structural change to non-energy intensive industries, energy technology research, development and deployment (RD&D) in terms of enhancement of energy efficiency and low carbon energy supply technologies, and fuel change to electricity and renewable energy are key instruments.

In recent years, an increasing number of studies on pig in vitro maturation(IVM) and in vitro fertilization(IVF) have been separated. the wide range of new technologies, including that in applied molecular genetics, has increased this interest. the production of viable porcine embryos in vitro is a prerequisites for the successful production of transgenic pigs to date. The efficiency of IVM/IVF techniques in the porcine is lower than that obtained in other species such as cattle and mouse. The several problems are generally thought to be the cause of poor results: the low rate of MPN formation derived from inadequate IVM of oocytes, the high incidence of polyspermy after IVF and cell blocking at 4 cell during embryos culture. For there reasons overcoming, many studies have been conducted to improve in vitro embryo-genic competence of oocytes. In the last several years, many maturation culture media have been evaluated and various exogenous factors such as hormones and grows factors have been tested to improve the efficiency of porcine in vitro system. In the study several antioxidants have been examined to improve in vitro fertilization and development of porcine oocytes. In this study, several antioxidants were examined to determine the effects on the development of oocytes to the cleavage, morula and blastocyst stage when added at the maturation(IVM) or in vitro fertilization(IVF) or in vitro culture(IVC) of porcine embryos. Porcine oocytes were matured, fertilized and embryos were cultured in defind conditioned medium in vitro with or without supplementation with the antioxidents of cysteine, catalase and glutathione. 1. Significant improvement of blastocyst rate (27.2％ versus 15.4％, p<0.05) were achieved when catalase(500U/$m\ell$) were added to TCM-199 medium and morula rate(72.0％ versus 53.9％, p<0.05) were significantly higher when glutathione(1.0mM/$m\ell$) were added to TCM-199 medium than those of control. 2. In mTBM medium for oocytes fertilization, the addition of cysteine, catalase and glutathione had no positive effect on embryonic development. glutathione had no positive effect on embryonic development. In conclusion, this study shows that addition of catalase, gluththione during IVM improved the rate of porcine embryo development.

Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) infection results in severe economic loss in the poultry industry. In the previous reports, F strain, one of the MG live vaccine strains, could protect the bird from field infection of MG strains. In this study, efficacy of PoulShot$^{(R)}$ MG-F vaccine againset mycoplasma gallisepticum infection was evaluated for filed application in commercial layers. Commercial layers from two different farms received with PoulShot$^{(R)}$ MG-F, MG-F live vaccine at 9~14 weeks of age. Serological immune response to MG vaccine, the persistency of MG vaccine strain in the upper respiratory tracts and egg production rate were evaluated in the vaccinated, contacted or nonvaccinated flocks. The serological response was first detected at 3 weeks after vaccination (WAV) and persisted for 31 WAV. The MG vaccine strains were also persisted for 31 WAV based on the reisolation and PCR detection. There was no difference between the vaccinated or non-vaccinated flocks in the egg production rate but in the abnormality rate of eggs. Based on the above results, we suggested that the PoulShot$^{(R)}$, MG-F live vaccine was fully immunogenic and had characteristics of long persistence in the upper respiratory trachea which will reduce economic loss caused by MG infection in the layer farms.

This study was conducted to establish the method for preserving chicken primordial germ cells (PGCs) that enables long-term storage in liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) for developmental engineering or preservation of species. The purpose of this study is to clarify the effects of simple freeze-thaw treatment on viability of PGCs in chickens and to the optimal protocol for PGCs freezing. PGCs obtained from the germinal gonade of an early embryos of 5.5~6 day (stage 28) of Isa Brown, Korean Ogye (KO), White Leghorn and Commercial breeds, using the MACS method were suspended in a freezing medium containing a freezing and protecting agents (e.g. dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol (EG) and propylene glycol (PG)). The gonadal cells, including PGCs, were then frozen in 1 of the following cryoprotectant treatments : 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 0% cryoprotectant (DMSO, EG, PG) as a control. Effects of exposure to simple freezing, with different concentrations of the cryoprotectant solution, were examined. After simple freezing, the viability of PGCs after freeze-thawing was significantly higher for Commercial breeds ($88.7{\pm}2.4%$) than KO ($85.1{\pm}0.4%$), Isa Brown ($84.6{\pm}0.2%$) and White Leghorn ($85.9{\pm}0.1%$) (p<0.05) using 10% EG cryoprotectant. Therefore, these systems may contribute in the improvement of cryopreservation for a scarce species in birds preservation. This study established a method for preserving chicken PGCs that enables systematic storage and labeling of cryopreserved PGCs in liquid ($LN_2$) at a germplasm repository and ease of entry into a database.

콜레스테롤은 성호르몬, 스테로이드 호르몬, 비타민 D, 담즙산 및 다른 체내화합물에 존재하는 생명에 필수적인 물질이며, 특히 세포막에는 이의 안정적인 기능수행을 위해 일정량의 콜레스테롤이 반드시 존재해야 한다. 이러한 중요성 때문에 우리의 몸안에는 완전히 음식물의 섭취에 의한 공급에 의존하지 않고서도 필요에 따라 체조직의 온전한 기능수행을 위해 즉시 이용될 수 있는 충분한 양의 콜레스테롤이 존재한다. 따라서 체내에서 자체적으로 합성되는 콜레스테롤의 양은 음식물을 통해 흡수되는 양보다 일반적으로 훨씬 높다. 매일 우리의 체내에서는 약 1,500mg 정도의 콜레스테롤이 합성되는데, 주로 간세포에서 만들어지며, 소장세포에서도 일부 합성이 이루어진다. 식단(食單)의 구성에 따라 물론 차이는 있으나, 우리가 매일 음식물을 통해 섭취하는 콜레스테롤의 양은 평균 300~700mg 정도이다 .이중 소장을 통해 흡수될 수 있는 양은 50% 정도에 불과하여 대부분 식사를 통해 흡수되는 콜레스테롤의 양은 실제적인 의미에서 그리 큰 비중을 차지하지 않는다. 대부분의 건강한 사람은 혈액내 콜레스테롤의 수준이 항상 정상적인 범위내에서 유지될 수 있도록 기능적인 체내 Feed-back 기작을 유지하고 있다. 음식물을 통한 식이(食餌)콜레스테롤의 섭취량이 많을 경우에는 이 물질의 장관(腸管)내 흡수율이 낮아지고, 체내 콜레스테롤의 합성량 역시 저하된다. 이러한 방법으로 대부분의 건강한 사람은 음식물을 통한 많은 양의 식이 콜레스테롤 섭취에 대해 효율적으로 보상하는 체내기작을 갖게 되어 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준이 필요 이상 높아지는 것을 막게 된다. 물로 s이러한 보상작용(補償作用)은 사람에 따라 일정하지는 않다. 최근의 연구결과에 의하면, 건강한 사람들의 약 60%정도는 하루에 3개 정도의 달걀에 포함되어 있는 양 정도의 콜레스테롤을 추가적으로 보상시킬 수 있다고 하는데, 이는 달걀 이외의 음식물에서도 섭취되는 콜레스테롤 양을 감안할 때 하루 총 1,000~1,500mg에 해당하는 양이다. 뿐만 아니라 이중 일부 사람들은 일반적인 식단 하에서 6개의 달걀을 추가하여 섭취하여도 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준이 높아지지 않는다고 한다. 여러 나라에서 아직도 일률적으로 권장되는, 음식물을 통한 일당 콜레스테롤 섭취량을 최고 300mg으로 제한해야 한다는 것은 건강인에 있어서는 앞에서 언급한 바와 같은 생리적인 피이드-백 기작으로 말미암아 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준을 저하시키지 못하거나 미미한 정도에 불과하다. 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준이 정상적인 범위인 180~240 mg/dl에 해당하는 대부분의 건강인에게도 콜레스테롤이 많이 함유된 달걀이나 기타 축산물을 이용한 식품의 지속적인 섭취를 적극 피하도록 권장하는 것은 국민보건상 별로 큰 위미가 없다고 생각한다. 왜냐하면 이로 말미암아 국민 건강상 문제점이 크게 향상되었다는 연구보고는 아직 발견되지 않고 있기 때문이다. 더욱이 동물성 콜레스테롤 다량 함유식품인 달걀, 우유, 유제품 및 육류 등의 섭취를 꺼리게 되면 이들 식품들이 영양생리학상 매우 중요한 양질의 영양소를 많이 함유하고 있기 때문에 여러 중요한 필수 영양소의 공급상태를 뚜렷히 감소시키게 된다. 병적으로 혈중 콜레스테롤의 수준이 높은 사람은 관상성 심장병의 발병 내지는 심장경색에 의한 사망에 대한 통계학적 위험성이 증가된다. 고콜레스테롤 혈증(청, 중년층의 경우 260mg /dl 이상) 환자중 많은 사람들은 대부분 음식물을 통한 다량의 콜레스테롤 섭취에 의해 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준이 높아진 것이 아니고, 주로 유전적인 콜레스테롤 대사 결함에 그 원인이 있다고 한다. 이런 환자들의 경우에는 콜레스테롤 및 지방함량이 낮은 음식물만 계속적으로 섭취한다고해서 혈중 콜레스테롤의 수준을 만족할만한 정도까지 낮출 수 있는 것은 아니기 때문에 주로 의학적 약물투여에 의한 치료법을 적용한다. 식이성 고콜레스테롤 증상을 보이는 사람들에 있어서는 음식물의 섭취방법을 조절해 줄 필요가 있는데, 가장 효과적인 식이요법은 체중을 정상적인 수준으로 조절하는데 있다. 이러한 환자의 경우는 지방을 통한 열량 섭취량을 총열량의 30% 정도 수준까지 감소시키는 것이 좋으며, 팔미틴산의 함량이 높은 지방의 섭취는 가능하면 삼가는 것이 좋다. 단순 및 고도 불포화지방산의 함량이 높은 지방의 섭취는 혈중 콜레스테롤의 수준을 한 포인트 정도 낮추는데 추가적으로 기여할 수 있다. 최근의 연구에 의하면, 단순 불포화 지방산인 올레인산을 많이 함유하고 있는 올리브 기름이 특히 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준에 대한 유리한 효과를 나타낸다고 하는데, 이는 오로지 혈액내 LDL-Cholesterol을 감소시키는 작용에 기인한다. 이에 반해 고도 불포화지방산인 리놀산은 저밀도지단백질 부분 외에도 심장 보호성(心臟 保護性) HDL-부분까지도 저하시키게 된다. 따라서 특수하게 리놀산을 강화시켜 제조한 마아가린이나 이와 유사한 기름을 이용한 리놀산 강화식품의 섭취는 이러한 이유 외에도 일정한 부작용이 알려져 있어 더 이상 강하게 추천되지 않고 있다. 만일 이러한 식이조절에도 불구하고 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준이 원하는 정도까지 떨어지지 않을 경우, 물론 콜레스테롤의 섭취를 최저로 제한할 수 있는 방법을 꾸준히 시도해 봐야 하나 일반적으로 미미한 정도의 효과만을 가져온다. 유전 및 식이와 관계되는 사항 외에도 추가적으로 고려해야 할 점은, 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준은 나이, 성별, 스포츠, 흡연, 스트레스 및 음주 등과 같은 요인에도 결정적인 영향을 받는다는 사실이다. 물론 현재까지 과도하게 증가된 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준을 저하시킴으로써 전체 국민의 사망률을 현저하게 낮추고 평균수명을 연장시켰다는 증거는 발견되지 않고 있다. 왜냐하면 단독 식이 요법을 통한 해당 연구들이 현재까지 뚜렷한 긍정적인 결과를 제시하지 못하고 있기 때문이다. 의약품의 투여로 심장경색 및 이로 인한 사망을 감소시킬 수 있었다는 보고는 여러 연구결과들에서 보여주고 있으나, 그대신 다른 질병 및 암에 의한 사망률 역시 동시에 증가되었다고 한다. 이러한 이유로 말미암아 콜레스테롤 저하요법에 있어서 본래의 치료목적 이외의 위험성에도 항상 주의해야할 필요성이 존재한다는 사실을 주지해야 한다.
