  • 잡식성 어류 붕어(Carassius auratus)의 섭식활동에 퇴적물과 독성남조 Microcystis aeruginosa의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 실내 및 현장 mesocosm실험을 실시하고 어류에 의한 식물플랑크톤과 수질변화를 각각 조사하였다. 퇴적물 실험은 실내 수조(7 L)에서 남조발생 저수지(일감호, 서울)의 현장수와 퇴적물을 이용하였고, 독성남조 실험은 독성(NIES-298) 및 비독성(NIES-101) 남조 M. aeruginosa를 이용하였다. 현장 mesocosm실험은 남조 발생이 극심하였던 2005년 7월에 저수지 연안에 총 9개 mesocosm를 설치하고 어류를 밀도별 처리한 다음 식물플랑크톤 밀도와 수질변화를 조사하였다. 모든 실험은 3회씩 반복으로 실시하였다. 실험결과, 퇴적물이 없는 수조에서는 Chl-a의 감소를 보였으나 퇴적물 수조에서는 오히려 Chl-a의 증가를 보였으며, 독성에 상관없이 뚜렷한 M. aeruginosa 제어능을 나타냈다. 현장 mesocosm 실험에서는 비교적 세포크기가 큰 macrophytoplankton (>$50{\mu}m$)를 선호한 반면 나머지 플랑크톤(<$2{\mu}m,\;2{\sim}20{\mu}m,\;20{\sim}50{\mu}m$)은 오히려 성장을 촉진하였다. 영양염은 조류밀도가 높은 조건에서 어류 도입 이후 암모니아의 급격한 증가를 보였다. 따라서 잡식성 어류인 붕어는 남조독성에 상관없이 도입초기 일시적으로 조류제어능을 보이지만 퇴적물 교란 및 영양염 배출로 인하여 현장 조건보다 퇴적물이 적은 정수장이나 생물관리가 가능한 조건에서 제한적으로 적용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단되었다.

  • 본 연구는 부산물 혼합 silage 사료 급여가 한우 비육전기 거세우의 채식 및 반추행동에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 시험에 사용한 공시한우는 21개월령 총 12두를 3처리로 배치하였으며, 이 때 처리구는 관행구 (C구: 농후사료+ 볏짚 자유채식)와 부산물 혼합 silage 구를 2처리 (T1: 농후사료+부산물 혼합 silage 제한급여 (1 kg) + 볏짚 자유채식, T2: 농후사료+부산물 혼합 silage 자유채식)로 하여 48시간 행동관찰을 실시하였다. 총 건물 섭취량은 T1 > C > T2구 순으로 나타났으나 상호간 유의적 차이는 없었다. 채식시간과 저작시간은 C구가 다른 구에 비하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 반추시간과 휴식시간은 처리구들 사이에 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 식괴수, 총저작수 및 식괴 당 저작수에 있어서도 같은 경향을 보였다. 그러나 식괴 당 반추시간과 FVI (feed value index)는 C구가 T1 및 T2구에 비하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났다 (p<0.01, 0.05). 분 당 식괴수는 T1구에서 높게 나타났으며 (p<0.01), 음수 회수는 T2구에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 배분 및 배뇨 회수에 있어서는 처리구들 간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 채식율에 있어서는 T2구가 다른 구에 비하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났으나 (p<0.05), 반추효율 및 저작효율에 있어서는 처리구들 사이에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 부산물 혼합 silage는 볏짚과 비교시 반추행동상 큰 문제가 없기 때문에 차후 볏짚 대용으로 활용가치가 높을 것으로 사료된다.

  • This experiment aimed to evaluate the effects of different housing systems on behavioral activities, welfare and meat quality of fast-growing broilers. Two hundred broilers were allocated into two housing systems: indoor housing vs indoor with outdoor access. Their general behavior (feeding, drinking, fighting, standing, lying, walking, investigating, dust-bathing and preening) was observed, and tonic immobility, fluctuating asymmetry of legs and wings were measured, and meat quality was analyzed. The results showed that the indoor-housed broilers with outdoor access had significant higher standing, walking, investigating, dust-bathing and preening than those indoor only. However, farming system was not found to significantly affect their feeding, drinking and fighting activities (p>0.05). The value of FA of tibia length of the broilers with outdoor access was significantly lower than that of the indoor-housed birds ($1.57{\pm}1.30$ vs $2.76{\pm}1.40$, p<0.05), while no difference was found for the value of FA in tibia diameter and wing length (p>0.05). TI of the broilers with outdoor access was 165.5 that was significantly higher than that (147.2) of the indoor birds (p<0.05). However, death rate in the outdoor run groups was significantly higher than that of the indoor ones ($2.0{\pm}0.81$ vs $4.0{\pm}0.82$, p<0.05). Meat quality was not affected by the two farming systems. It can be concluded that the results of this study may suggest that the indoor housing with outdoor access provides enriched environment for broilers and facilitates the expression of natural behaviors of the broilers but resulted in poorer performance and higher death rate.

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate food behavior in relation to the program of kindergarten and day care center as well as to identify problems which can be aroused there. We conducted the survey repeatedly, ten times among same 124 preschool children below 5 years old. The instruments were categorized into 3 different parts: part 1 for pre-meal food behavior, part 2 for mid-meal food behavior, and part 3 for after-meal food behavior. These were types of checklists which consisted of guideline of habit formation for daily life, especially food habit were developed on the basis of the National Kindergarten Curriculum. We Have reached the following results. $\circled1$ The group of below 3 year-old children had lunch and snacks more frequently than other age groups. $\circled2$ The children's age did playa role as one of the factors which influences on children's food behavior. The less frequency of taking meals in day care center the better their food behavior score. $\circled3$ Therefore, the age of children whose age is 3 or Jess spent more (of day) time at care center and had significantly more number of meals and snack at the care center. In such case, the food behavior was found to be not in good shape. I-ence, the children who were more exposed to feeding meal in kindergarten and day care center, were like to form unfavorable food behavior. The average food behavior score is significantly correlated with pre-mea, mid-meal, and post-meal food behavior. The study suggested that feeding program for young children at kindergarten and day care center should be systematized and developed on the basis of the status of their food behavior.

  • This study was aimed at preparing basic data required for establishment of a cancer screening program by examining the status of cancer screenings performed by women in a city and the factors that had an influence on cervical and breast cancers screening behavior of women. In order to find out the status of cervical and breast cancers screening and the factors having an influence on cervical and breast cancers screening behavior, 1,113 women were selected as study area and subjects by a random cluster sampling method, and the subjects were answered by questionnaires. The major results were as follows: 1. In the cases of the breast and the cervical cancers, 16.7% and 55.7% of the subjects turned out to have had one or more screenings respectively in their life-time. Also the rate of screening group of cervical and breast cancers was 16.7%, the rate of screening group of only cervical cancer was 38.9%, and the rate of non-screening group was 44.4%. 2. As to the screening pattern of cervical and breast cancer, there were significantly for age, income, occupation, married status, spouse, the factors associated with health promotion (doctor visiting, exercising), married age, number of children, and breast feeding(p〈0.05). 3. The factors associated with screening behaviors for cervical and breast cancers were age, income, occupation, married status, doctor visiting, exercising, married age, number of children, and breast feeding(p〈0.05). Based on the above-mentioned results obtained by this study, it was anticipated that this study may be playa vital role as basic data for the development and execution of cervical and breast cancers screening program for women in a community. And the analysis, done on the basis of the status of the cancer screening, of the influence factors on cervical and breast cancers screening behavior showed that for the development of a cancer screening program, the factors like age, social-economic class, married status, health promotion behavior, and reproductive characteristics should be considered.

  • To evaluate the effect of different housing systems on sow behavior, 80 gilts were randomly allocated at puberty to four treatments: i) sow stall in gestation followed by farrowing crate (SC), ii) group housing with individual feeding in gestation followed by farrowing crate (GC), iii) ESF (Electronic Sow Feeding) system in gestation followed by farrowing crate (EC), and iv) ESF system followed by group farrowing pen (EG). Behavioral observations were carried out on a total of 16 animals per treatment at the following stages: first day of allocation to housing treatment, day of service, 80 days after service, 109 days after service on entry to farrowing accommodation, 24 h before farrowing, day of farrowing, 14, 27 and 28 days after farrowing, at weaning. On each occasion, individual animals were observed for a 24 period with one minute time sampling. There were significant differences (p<0.001) between stages of the reproductive cycle for all the behavior patterns in all treatments. On the first day in experimental housing treatments, sows spent more time rooting and dog-sitting. Activity and investigatory behavior decreased as pregnancy progressed. An activity peak was apparent just before farrowing, followed by a high level of inactivity on the day of farrowing. Time spent active, eating and drinking increased as lactation progressed, and greatest activity and locomotion was seen immediately following weaning. There were significant differences between housing treatments (p<0.01) for standing, moving, eating, drinking, dog-sitting and lying. During pregnancy SC sows spent more time standing, rooting, drinking and dog sitting, while EC sows spent less time rooting and drinking and more time lying. During lactation, GC sows spent more time standing, moving and eating, less time dog sitting and lateral lying. Nursing frequency was reduced in GC sows (p<0.001). The maternal and piglet behaviors were influenced strongly by environment during lactation. However, it was also shown that previous housing history can influence the maternal behavior in the pre-farrowing stage and during early lactation.

  • Providing an adequate environment for horses is important to minimize the level of stress for domesticated horses. The objectives of this study were 1) to evaluate the effect of living conditions on stress level of horses, 2) to observe the effect of one month confinement on self-maintenance behavior and stereotypic behavior of horses. The experiment was conducted at National Institute of Animal Science, Equine Field Station (Seonghwan-eup, Korea). Horses were staying in the paddock prior to the experiment. On day 1, five horses were randomly selected and housed in metal fence panels stall. Six horses remained in the same paddock. The ratio of neutrophil to lymphocyte (on day 15) and cortisol (on day 1 and 29) from stalled horses were significantly higher than horses in the paddock. Duration or frequency of self-maintenance behaviors such as feeding, drinking, resting, walking was not significantly different between day 1 and day 29. However, the frequency of urination significantly decreased (p<0.05) on day 29 compared with day 1. The frequency of stereotypic behaviors was not different between day 1 and 29. Our data indicate that horses may be more stabled when they are staying in the paddock rather than staying in the stall, but the stress level of horses in the stall during one month confinement was not effective for horses to adapt stereotypic behavior. In conclusion, providing an adequate environment and stress-less horse management techniques can minimize the stress level of horses.
