  • A total of 120 finishing crossbred pigs ($Landrace{\times}Large$ $White{\times}Duroc$) with equal numbers of barrows and gilts weighing 58.5 kg body weight were used in a feeding trial, and 6 pigs (three of each sex) were used in a metabolic trial to investigate the effect of phase feeding. Finishing period was divided into two phases and 4 different diets were fed for those periods. Growth performance was not significantly different among treatments within the same sex. This result showed that 16% crude protein for early finishing period and 14% crude protein diet for late finishing period should be optimum. During the early finishing period, only feed intake was significantly different between sexes (p<0.01), but in late finishing period daily weight gain (p<0.001) and feed intake (p<0.01) of barrows were significantly higher than those of gilts. During the early finishing period, digestibilities of dry matter, protein and phosphorus were significantly higher in gilts than in barrows (p<0.05). However, there was no treatment effect within same sex during the early and late finishing period. During early finishing period, excretion of N of pigs fed 16% CP diet in early and 14% CP diet in late-finishing period was less than that of pigs fed 17% CP diet in early and 15% CP diet in late-finishing period (p<0.05), but the difference was not significant. During the late finishing period, N excretion with two phase feeding was reduced by 8.5% compared with single feeding. In gilts, total cost reduction by two phase feeding compared to single feeding was 9.1%, but in barrows it was just 3.19%. Relative margin increased with two phase feeding by 2.5% in gUts and 0.2% in barrows. There was a tendency that backfat thickness at 10th rib of gilts was thinner than that of barrows (p>0.05). Within the same sexes, there was no treatment effect on back fat thickness (p>0.05). Carcass grade was improved by two phase feeding compared to single feeding. Carcass grade of gilts was significantly better than that of barrows (p<0.001). From this results, it is concluded that finishing pigs could be fed two-phase diets to improve profit and reduce pollution.

  • An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of microbial phytase ($Natuphos^{(R)}$) supplementation in combination with carbohydrases (composed of enzymes targeted to soybean meal (SBM) dietary components such as $\alpha$-galactosides and galactomannans; $Endo-Power^{(R)}$) to corn-soybean meal based diet (CSD) and complex diet (CD) with a partial replacement of SBM with rape seed meal (RSM) and cotton seed meal (CSM) on growth performance and nutrient digestibility of growing pigs. A total of 168 growing pigs averaging $13.18{\pm}1.77kg$ of initial body weight was arranged as a $2{\times}2$ factorial design with main effects of diet types (corn-SBM based diet (CSD) and complex diets (CD; 5% of SBM was replaced with 2.5% of RSM and 2.5% of CSM in diet for phase I (0 to 3 weeks) and 6% of SBM was replaced with 3% of RSM and 3% of CSM in diet for phase II (4 to 7 weeks))) and enzyme supplementation (none and 0.1% of phytase (500 FTU/kg diet) and 0.1% of carbohydrases). The diet with enzyme application were formulated to have a 0.18% unit lower aP than diets without enzyme application. Each treatment had three replicates with 14 pigs per replicate. To determine supplementation effect of phytase and carbohydrases on ileal amino acid digestibility of SBM, RSM and CSM, a total of 18 T-cannulated pigs (initial body weight; $13.52{\pm}1.24kg$) were assigned to six dietary treatments in the present study. Dietary treatments in metabolic trial included 1) SBM diet, 2) SBM diet+with enzymes (phytase (500 FTU/kg) and carbohydrases at 0.1%, respectively), 3) CSM diet, 4) CSM diet+enzymes, 5) RSM diet and 6) RSM diet+enzymes. During whole experimental period (0 to 7 wks), there was no difference in growth performance between diets (CSD and CD). However, dietary phytase and carbohydrases supplementation significantly improved gain/feed ratio (G:F) of growing pigs. During the phase II (4-7 weeks), dietary phytase and carbohydrases supplementation significantly improved all fecal nutrient digestibilities (Dry matter (DM), gross energy (GE), crude protein (CP), crude fat (CF), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P)). Dietary phytase and carbohydrases supplementation improved significantly overall ileal amino acid digestibilities of SBM, RSM and CSM based diets (p<0.05). The simultaneous inclusion of phytase and carbohydrases in both of CSD and CD reduced feed cost per kg body weight gain (FCG). Also, results suggest that 2.5 to 3% of RSM and CSM, respectively, might be used as a protein source in growing pig diets without having an adverse effect on the growth performance and nutrient digestibility and simultaneous phytase and carbohydrases addition improves nutritional value of SBM, RSM and CSM by improving ileal amino acid digestibilities.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the effect of supplemented enzyme complex on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in pigs weaned at 14 days of age. Eighty pigs ($4.02{\pm}0.11kg$ of average body weight) were allotted in a completely randomized block design. Treatments were as follows: 1) control (negative), 2) control (positive, $Kemzyme^{(R)}$), 3) 0.1%, 4) 0.2% and 5) 0.3% of newly developed enzyme complex. Each treatment has 4 replicates with 4 pigs per replicate. During phase I period (d 0 to 14), ADG and ADFI were numerically higher in pigs fed diets supplemented enzyme complex regardless of their inclusion levels compared to pigs fed control (negative) diet. Feed/gain (F/G) was also better in pigs fed enzyme complex diet than that of pigs fed control (negative) diet. In addition, with increasing the inclusion level of enzyme complex, ADG and ADFI were improved. However, there was no significant difference between treatment in all growth parameters. During phase II period (d 15 to 28), ADG, ADFI and F/G showed the same tendency as in phase I period. For overall period (d 0 to 28) ADG was highest in pigs fed diet included 0.2% enzyme complex in all treatments but not significantly different. During phase I period, the digestibilities of all nutrients did not showed any significant difference between treatments. However, pigs fed diet contained enzyme complex and positive control diet (Kemzyme) showed numerically higher nutrient digestibilities in all nutrients than pigs fed negative control diet. During phase II period, data were consistent with those observed in phase I period. Especially, the digestibility of phosphorus was significantly higher in pigs fed diets contained enzyme complex including phytase than pigs fed control (negative and positive) diets (p<0.05). For overall experimental period, fecal or ileal amino acid digestibility were not affected by dietary treatment. Enzyme complex newly developed and used in this study can be possibly recommended as a growth promoter when supplemented in diet for early weaned piglets.

  • Water quality is characterized by various complex factors. Therefore, a systematic understanding of water quality trends is required to carry out a proper evaluation. In this study, we analyzed the spatio-temporal water quality characteristics of the Nakdong River using five-year data from 2012 to 2016. Data was collected on the pH, DO, BOD, COD, SS, TN, TP, TOC, WT, EC, $NH_3-N$, $NO_3-N$, $PO_4-P$, Chl-a, rainfall, and total and fecal coliforms. A total of 38 water quality measurement stations, from Andong1 to Gupo, were considered. Statistical analyses including trend, cluster, and factor analyses were conducted to identify the dominant water quality components affecting the Nakdong River. The Nakdong River was spatially classified into three groups for up-stream (Andong1 to Sangju1), mid/up-stream (Donam to Dalseong), and mid/down-stream (Hwawonnaru to Gupo) data collection, and temporally into two groups for summer/fall (7~10), and the rest of the season (11~6) data. The water quality of the entire Nakdong River showed trends similar to the mid/down-stream section, which indicates the importance of water quality management in this section. Suspended solids, phosphorus, and coliform groups were established as important factors to be considered in the summer/fall season across the river, especially in the mid/down-stream section. Nitrogen and organic matter were identified as important factors to be considered in the rest of the season, especially in the mid/up-stream section. This study could help determine the water quality components that should be intensively monitored in the Nakdong River.

  • 본 연구는 가금맹장에서 유래된 유산균의 생균제적 가치를 구명하고자 실시하였다. 시험 I에서는 가금 맹장 유산균의 특성을 구명하고자 산란계 및 육계 맹장 유산균을 각각 12주와 11주를 분리하여 내산성, 내담즙산성, 효소분비력, 항병원성 및 항생제 감수성을 조사하였다. 분리된 균주들은 PH 3부터 점차적으로 사멸하는 균주와 일정하게 유지되는 균주로 구분되었으며, PH 4에서 모든 유산균의 성장은 양호하였다. 본 실험에서 분리된 대부분의 유산균은 bile salt에 의해 성장이 저해되는 것으로 나타났는데 몇몇 균주는 저항성이 높게 나타났다. 선발된 맹장유산균과 다른 균주와 비교하였는데, 가금 맹장유래 유산균은 다른 유산균과 Bacillus에 비하여 효소분비성이 우수한 것으로 나타났으며 효소별 분비능력에서 amylase와 lipase 활성은 강한 것으로 나타났지만 cellulase와 protease의 활성은 약한 것으로 나타났다. 항병성 조사에서 유산균 배양액은 균종에 관계없이 병원성 E. coli에 대하여 억제성이 높았으며 억제요인으로는 유기산 분비에 의한 pH 저하가 주 요인으로 나타났다. 그러나 병원성 Salmonella에 대해서는 유산균 배양액의 억제성이 낮았다. 유산균은 페니실린 계통의 항생제에 의하여 생존율은 저하되었지만 이외의 다른 항생제는 유산균의 생존에 미치는 영향이 없었다. 본 실험에서 선발된 유산균은 각각 target animal에 급여하여 host specific effect를 구명하기 위하여 사양실험을 실행하였다. 시험II는 유산균의 급여가 육계의 생산성, 영양소 이용성, 장내미생물, 계사내 환경, 혈청 콜레스테롤, 응모의 발달에 미치는 영향 및 육계에 대한 유산균의 적정 급여수준을 구명하고자 시행하였다. 육계 초생추에 육계ㆍ산란계의 맹장에서 유래한 Lactobacillus crispatus avibrol(LCB), L. reuteri avibro2(LRB) L. crispatus avihen1(LCH), L. vaginalis avihen2(LVH) 각각을 사료 g당 $10^4$/cfu 및 $10^{7}$ cfu의 수준으로 급여하였다. 유산균의 급여에 의한 육계의 체중은 대조구에 비하여 증체량은 50~100g이 높았다. 사료섭취량 및 사료요구율은 대조구와 모든 유산균 급여구간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 영양소 이용율에서 건물소화율은 유산균 급여구가 대조구에 비하여 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 단백질, Ca 이용율도 유산균 급여구가 대조구에 비하여 전체적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 유산균 급여구에서 조지방, 조회분 소화율은 대조구에 비하여 개선되는 경향을 보였지만 인의 이용율은 처리구간에 일정한 경향이 없었다. 유산균 종류별 영양소 이용율은 LCH 급여구가 모든 일반성분 및 Ca, p의 이용율이 가장 높았다(P〈0.05). 회장내 유산균 수는 시험 전기간 현저하게 증가하였으며 (P〈0.05), 맹장에서는 5주령에 처리구간에 차이가 없었다. Yeast는 회장에서 1주령까지는 장내에 완전히 정착하지 못하는 것으로 생각되며, 맹장 및 3주령 이후의 회장에서는 대부분의 유산균 급여구에서 Yeast의 수가 증가하였다(P〈0.05).

  • Four experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of organic or inorganic acid supplementation on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal measurements and white blood cell counts of weanling pigs. In growth trial (Exp I), a total of 100 crossbred pigs ({$Landrace{\times}Yorkshire$}${\times}$Duroc), weaned at $23{\pm}2$ days of age and $7.25{\pm}0.10kg$ average initial body weight (BW), were allotted to 5 treatments by body weight and sex in a randomized complete block (RCB) design. Three different organic acids (fumaric [FUA], formic [FOA] or lactic acid [LAA]) and one inorganic acid (hydrochloric acid [SHA]) were supplemented to each treatment diet. Each treatment had 5 replicates with 4 pigs per pen. During 0-3 wk, average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI) and feed efficiency (G/F ratio) were not significantly different among treatments. However, pigs fed LAA or SHA diet showed improved ADG by 15 or 13% respectively and 12% greater ADFI in both treatments compared to CON diets. Moreover, compared to organic acid treatments, better ADG (p = 0.07) and ADFI (p = 0.09) were observed in SHA diet compared to pigs that were fed the diet containing organic acids (FUA, FOA or LAA). However, during 4-5 wk, no differences in ADG, ADFI and G/F ratio were observed among treatments. Overall, ADG, ADFI and G/F ratio were not affected by acidifier supplementation. Although it showed no significant difference, pigs fed LAA or SHA diets showed numerically higher ADG and ADFI than pigs fed other treatments. In metabolic trial (Exp II), 15 pigs were used to evaluate the effect of acidifier supplementation on nutrient digestibility. The digestibility of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude fat (CF), crude ash (CA), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) was not improved by acidifier supplementation. Although the amount of fecal-N excretion was not different among treatments, that of urinary-N excretion was reduced in acidsupplemented treatments compared to CON group (p = 0.12). Subsequently, N retention was improved in acid-supplemented groups (p = 0.17). In anatomical trial (Exp III), the pH and $Cl^-$ concentrations of digesta in gastrointestinal (GI) tracts were not affected by acidifier supplementation. No detrimental effect of intestinal and lingual (taste bud) morphology was observed by acidifier supplementation particularly in inorganic acid treatment. In white blood cell assay (Exp IV), 45 pigs were used for measuring white blood cell (WBC) counts. In all pigs after LPS injection, WBC counts had slightly declined at 2 h and kept elevating at 8 h, then returned to baseline by 24 h after injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). However, overall WBC counts were not affected by acidifier supplementation. In conclusion, there was no difference between organic and inorganic acidifier supplementation in weanling pigs' diet, however inorganic acidifier might have a beneficial effect on growth performance and N utilization with lower supplementation levels. Furthermore, inorganic acidifier had no negative effect on intestinal measurements and white blood cell counts in weanling pigs. These results suggested that inorganic acidifier might be a good alternative to organic acidifiers in weanling pigs.

  • 본 연구는 대사에너지 수준을 달리한 사료에서 복합 효소제의 첨가가 육계의 사양성적, 영양소 소화율, 혈액성상, 장 내 미생물 및 소장 융모에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 사양시험을 위하여 육계(Ross 308, 1일령) 480수를 공시하여 4처리 8반복, 반복당 15수를 완전임의 배치하였다. 시험기간은 전기 3주(0~21일)와 후기 2주(21~35일)로 나누어 5주간 실시하였다. 처리내용은 사료 내 대사에너지 2수준과 복합효소제(amylase + protease + mannanase + xylanase + phytase) 첨가유무에 따른 $2{\times}2$요인법에 따랐으며, 고에너지(전기 3,060kcal/kg; 후기 3,150kcal/kg) 사료에 복합효소제 무첨가와 첨가(0.05%), 저에너지(전기 3,010kcal/kg; 후기 3,100kcal/kg) 사료에 복합효소제 무첨가와 첨가(0.05%)로 구성하였다. 사양시험 전기간, 증체량과 사료요구율이 복합효소제 첨가구가 무첨가구에 비해 유의적으로 개선되었으나 사료 내 대사에너지 수준간에는 차이가 없었다. 건물, 에너지, 조단백질, 칼슘 및 인에 대한 분 및 회장소화율은 복합효소제 첨가 시 유의적으로 개선되었다. 맹장 및 회장 내 미생물에서는 복합효소제 첨가 시 Lactobacillus spp.는 증가하고 Clostridium spp.이나 Coliform bacteria는 감소하였다. 융모길이와 융모길이와 융와깊이의 비율이 효소제 첨가로 인해 개선되었다. 본 연구의 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 육계사료 내 복합효소제의 첨가는 에너지 수준에 관계없이 육계의 생산성에 도움이 되는 것으로 판단되며 효소제 첨가로 인해 에너지 절약효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
