동물은 고기, 우유, 및 달걀과 같은 중요한 산물을 생산한다. 현대사회의 도시화과정 및 고도 성장은 보다 많은 동물성 산물을 요구하고 작은 농장에서 밀집화된 사육이 이루어지게 되는 원인이 되었다. 결과적으로 가축 분뇨생산량이 증가되었으며, 그에 따른 악취문제도 필연적인 결과로 나타났다. 분뇨로 인한 악취문제를 해결하지 못할 경우 축산업의 지속적인 발전과 환경개선을 이루는 큰 장애가 될 것이다. 축산환경으로 생산되는 악취는 휘발성지방산, 암모니아와 휘발성아민, 인돌과 페놀, 그리고 황화합물 네 종류로 분류된다. 질소성분의 절반이상은 뇨로 배설되기 때문에 동물을 사육하는 과정에서 저단백 사료와 합성아미노산을 급여시키고, 소화효소나 미생물제제 혹은 생균제를 사료에 첨가시켜줄 경우 질소원의 배출량을 감소시켜줄 수 있는 중요한 방법이 될 것이다. 따라서, 축산환경의 개선과 축산분야의 생산성을 향상시켜주기 위하여 사료 및 보조사료를 급여하는 다양한 시도가 진행되고 있다.

We constructed an oligo-d(T) primed directional cDNA library from the Bombyx mandarina whole larvae. In an effort to isolate genes expressed in the B. mandarina, 227 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were generated by single-pass sequencing from the cDNA library. Sequence analysis showed that 107 clones (47.1%) were classified into known genes and 120 clones (52.9%) were novel transcripts, which are unknown for their function. Of the 107 known genes, the most abundant gene was found to be actin and followed by serine protease in the expression profile. Among these clones, a serine protease homolog (BmSP) which is a class of proteolytic enzymes isolated. Full-length sequence of the BmSP cDNA clone was 922 bp in length and has an open reading frame of 276 amino acids. The conserved histidine, aspatic acid and serine residues forming the catalytic center as well as cysteine residues contributing to three disulphide bonds also were found in Bmsp gene. mRNA expression analysis revealed a high and specific expression of the gene only in midgut tissue, suggesting that BmSP gene is closely associated with the expression of digestive enzyme.

Objective: To investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with different levels and molecular weights of fungal ${\beta}$-glucan on productive performances, health, carcass traits and meat quality in broilers. Methods: Two hundred and ten of one-day-old chicks with equal sex were assigned to seven experimental groups in $2{\times}4$ factorial arrangement. These groups were supplemented with (0, 10, 30, and 60 ppm) of molecular weight 1-3, 1-6 ${\beta}$-glucan (low or high). High molecular weight ${\beta}$-glucan (H: 943 kDa) was obtained from Ophiocordyceps dipterigena BCC 2073, whereas H with ${\gamma}$-Irradiation treatment was performed to achieve low molecular weight ${\beta}$-glucan (L: 8 kDa). Results: There was no statistical significance in productive performances, apparent digestibility and interaction between fixed factors along 42 days of experiment (p>0.05). A higher caecal amylase activity was present in the group that received L, while there was a dramatic decrease in H and the control groups, respectively (p<0.05). The increase of supplemental dose increased caecal amylase activity (p<0.05). Immunomodulatory effects from L was revealed by the marked increase of phagocytic activity, relative weight of thymus and bursa of fabricius (p<0.05). Similarly, the additive dose at 30 ppm provided the same results, whereas the only significant difference with supplementation at 60 ppm was an increase in phagocytic activity (p<0.05). Interestingly, villi height of broilers fed L was higher than other groups (p<0.05). The treatments did not influence haematology, blood chemistry, antibody production level against vaccination, carcass traits and meat quality (p>0.05). Conclusion: The supplementation of L at 30 ppm was suggested to achieve benefits of immune modulation without adverse effects on other parameters.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the appropriate amount of eri silkworm pupae meal (Samia ricini) to add to the broiler diet. Methods: Two hundred 1-day-old male chicks with initial weight at 50.03±0.56 g/chick were divided into four groups (five replicates per group and ten chicks per replicate): a control group fed a corn-soybean diet and experimental groups supplemented with 5%, 10%, or 15% eri silkworm pupae meal. All experimental diets were isocaloric and isonitrogenous and formulated respecting nutrient requirements. Growth performances were collected during the experimental period and other parameters were collected at the end of experiment when broilers reached thirty-eight days old. Results: A higher cold carcass weight and skin yellowness in the broilers fed 10% eri silkworm pupae meal compared with the other groups (p<0.05). Therefore, supplementation with 10% eri silkworm pupae meal is suggested for the broiler diet formulation because it did not cause any serious negative consequences on growth performance, health status, carcass characteristics and meat quality. However, the usage of eri silkworm pupae meal at 15% is not recommend because it led to negative outcomes Conclusion: The addition of eri silkworm pupae at 10% can be used as an alternative protein sources for broiler chickens which provided benefits on cold carcass weight and skin yellowness without adverse effects.

5-FU로 인한 심장독성은 드물지만 협심증, 심근경색, 심지어 심장 돌연사까지 유발할 수 있다. 그러므로 약물치료를 계획하기 전 환자의 기저 심질환 여부를 정확히 평가해야 하며, 지연반응으로 인해 약물 투여와 증상 발생의 시간적 간격이 늘어날 수도 있으므로 증상과 EKG에서의 변화가 명확하다면 5-FU로 인한 관상동맥의 일시적인 연축으로 볼 수 있다. 심장효소의 상승과 관상동맥 조영술에서 심혈관의 협착 소견이 없더라도 약물을 중단하고 칼슘통로차단제 등의 혈관확장제를 사용하여야 한다. 그리고 재발의 위험성이 매우 높기 때문에 재투여는 피해야 한다.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of a hydroethanolic extract of walnut green husks (WGH) on rumen fermentation and the diversity of bacteria, methanogenic archaea, and fungi in sheep fed a high-concentrate diet. Methods: Five healthy small-tailed Han ewes with permanent rumen fistula were selected and housed in individual pens. This study adopted a self-controlled and crossover design with a control period and an experimental period. During the control period, the animals were fed a basal diet (with a ratio of concentrate to roughage of 65:35), while during the treatment period, the animals were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.5% hydroethanolic extract of WGH. Fermentation parameters, digestive enzyme activities, and microbial diversity in rumen fluid were analyzed. Results: Supplementation of hydroethanolic extract of WGH had no significant effect on feed intake, concentrations of total volatile fatty acids, isovalerate, ammonia nitrogen, and microbial protein (p>0.05). However, the ruminal pH, concentrations of acetate, butyrate and isobutyrate, the ratio of acetate to propionate, protozoa count, and the activities of filter paper cellulase and cellobiase were significantly increased (p<0.05), while concentrations of propionate and valerate were significantly decreased (p<0.05). Moreover, 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that the relative abundance of rumen bacteria Christensenellaceae R7 group, Saccharofermentans, and Ruminococcaceae NK4A214 group were significantly increased, while Ruminococcus gauvreauii group, Prevotella 7 were significantly decreased (p<0.05). The relative abundance of the fungus Pseudomonas significantly increased, while Basidiomycota, Fusarium, and Alternaria significantly decreased (p<0.05). However, there was no significant change in the community structure of methanogenic archaea. Conclusion: Supplementation of hydroethanolic extract of WGH to a high-concentrate diet improved the ruminal fermentation, altered the structure of ruminal bacterial and fungal communities, and exhibited beneficial effects in alleviating subacute rumen acidosis of sheep.

Dried fruits of Amomum villosum Lour. have been used an korean medicine to treat digestive diseases for a long time. It has been reported that Amomum villosum extracts(AVE) have effects for diabetes and steatosis in experimental models. But we did not find the report about the cholesterol synthesis inhibition effects of AVE. The objective of this study is to clarify the inhibitory effect of AVE against oleic acid and glucose-induced hypercholesterolemia in HepG2 cells. The results show that AVE had a significant inhibitory effect against oleic acid and glucose-induced cholesterol accumulation. Those effects seem to be caused by inhibition of AVE on oleic acid and glucose-induced decrease of HMG CoA reductase, which is the rate-limiting enzyme for cholesterol biosynthesis in liver. It is believed that the results of this study can provide basic data for the drug and functional food development of hypercholesterolemia treatments.

산사(Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge) 중의 생리활성물질이 이상지질혈증에 있어서 간 조직 및 간 기능 대사효소의 활성 변화 등에 생리적 효능이 있을 것으로 판단되어 Sprague Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 대조군인 NND군, 대조군에 산사 추출물을 섭취시킨 NNDH 군, 이상지질혈증군인 CDD 군, 이상지질혈증군에 산사 추출물을 섭취시킨 DDH 군으로 나누어 5주간 실험 사육하였다. ALP(alkaline phosphatase), LDH(lactate dehydrogenase), AST(aspartate aminotransferase) 및 ALT(alanine aminotransferase) 활성은 모두 동일한 경향을 나타내었다. NND 군과 NNDH 군 간에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 이상지질혈증군인 CDD 군이 가장 높은 활성을 보였고, 이상지질혈증군에 산사 추출물을 섭취시킨 DDH 군에서 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 간장의 조직학적 검사는 NND 군과 NNDH 군에서는 어떠한 이상 소견도 발견하지 못하였으나, CDD 군에서 지방 세포의 수와 크기증가, 지방 변성 및 염증 세포 등이 관찰되었고, DDH 군에서 지방 세포의 수와 크기가 줄어들었으며, 지방 변성 등이 감소된 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 산사 추출물은 지방세포 분화 억제 및 지방 분해 작용과 간 기능 개선 효과 있는 것으로 추정되며, 간 보호 기능성 물질로서 활용 가능성이 우수할 것으로 사료된다.

Objective: A trial was conducted from 11 to 42 d post-hatch to investigate the effectiveness of the supplementation of a multiple-enzyme preparation (Natuzyme Plus) in a wheat-based diet on digesta viscosity, pH and microbial population, villus morphology, feed passage time, nutrient retention, carcass characteristics, blood lipid parameters and growth performance of broiler chickens. Methods: Three hundreds 10-d-old male Ross 308 chicks were allocated to three diets with five replicates of 20 birds per replicate. Dietary treatments were i) a wheat-based diet (W), ii) W+Natuzyme Plus (WN; 500 mg/kg of the diet), and iii) a corn-based diet (C). Results: Birds fed on the C diet had higher average daily gain (ADG, p<0.01), villus height (VH, p<0.01), total tract apparent retention (TTAR) of nitrogen (NT, p<0.01) and ether extract (EE, p<0.01), nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy ($AME_n$, p<0.05), relative weight (RW, % of body weight) of carcass (p<0.05), blood concentration of triglyceride (TG, on d 40 [p<0.01]), total cholesterol (TC, on d 22 [p<0.05]) and low density lipoprotein (LDL, on d 22 [p<0.01] and 40 [p<0.05]), and also lower feed conversion ratio (FCR, p<0.01), digesta viscosity (p<0.01), count of coliforms (p<0.01) and Escherichia coli (p<0.01) and epithelium thickness (ET, p<0.05) than those fed on the W diet. ADG, FCR, VH, ET, TTAR of NT and EE, RW of carcass, blood concentration of TG (on d 40), TC (on d 22) and LDL (on d 22 and 40) values of the WN diet did not show a significant (p>0.05) difference compared to those of the C diet. Compared to those of the W diet, the WN diet showed the higher count of Lactobacilli and lower count of coliforms (p<0.01) and digesta viscosity (p<0.01). Conclusion: In general, the results of this study showed that Natuzyme Plus supplementation in a wheat-based diet can be appropriate to achieve a comparable growth performance in broiler chickens to those given the C diet probably through improving digesta viscosity, VH, ET, TTAR of NT and EE, $AME_n$, count of Lactobacilli and coliforms.
