This study estimated the effect of fermented persimmon (Diospros kaki L.) extract (FPE) supplement on feed intake, digestibility, nitrogen (N) balance, and rumen fermentation characteristics in sheep. Five male sheep (Corriedale${\times}$Polwarth) with average body weight of $48.6{\pm}1.3\;kg$ were housed in metabolism crates and assigned to a 5${\times}$5 Latin square design with five consecutive 20-d periods which consisted of 14-d adaptation and 6-d data collection. The sheep were fed ad libitum a diet containing concentrate and rice straw (3:7). The five treatments were FPE supplemented at 0 (Control), 5, 10, 20, and 30 g/kg of concentrate. Intakes of dry matter (DM, p<0.01), organic matter (OM, p<0.01), neutral detergent fiber (NDF, p<0.05), acid detergent fiber (ADF, p<0.05), and nitrogen-free extract (NFE, p<0.01) increased quadratically with increasing intake of FPE supplement and maximized (p<0.05) at 10 g/kg FPE. The digestibilities of DM (p<0.05), OM (p<0.05), crude protein (p<0.01), and NFE (p<0.01) increased quadratically with increasing amount of FPE supplement, and sheep fed 5 and 10 g/kg diets had greater (p<0.05) DM, OM, and NFE digestibilites than the Control treatment. By increasing FPE supplement concentration, N intake (p<0.01) and fecal N (p<0.05) increased linearly, whereas retained N (p<0.05) and retained N ratio (p<0.05) increased quadratically. The retained N was maximized (p<0.05) in sheep fed 5 and 10 g/kg diets. The mean rumen pH was not affected by FPE supplement, but there was a quadratic increase (p<0.05) of mean rumen ammonia N concentration and a linear increase (p<0.01) in mean rumen total volatile fatty acid (VFA) and acetate concentrations. The mean concentration of rumen propionate in sheep fed all FPE supplemented diets was greater (p<0.05) than the Control, but the mean ratios of rumen acetate to propionate in sheep fed 5 and 10 g/kg diets were lower (p<0.05) than that of Control sheep. In conclusion, FPE supplemented at 5-10 g/kg of concentrate improved feed intake, the digestibilites of OM and NFE, N metabolism, and rumen fermentation indices of sheep.

산야채를 이용하여 추출물 발효식품을 제조하는데 있어서 적합한 발효기간을 설정하기 위하여 발효기간의 경과에 따른 발효액의 성분과 품질특성, 효소활성과 생리기능성의 변화를 조사하였다. 발효기간이 경과함에 따라 pH와 $^{\circ}Bx$는 점차 낮아졌으며, 점도는 감잎 추출물 발효액을 제외하고는 3개월 경과시 현저히 낮아졌다. 색도는 발효기간이 증가함에 다라 L값과 a값은 증가되고, b값은 감소되는 경향이었다. 발효액 중의 amylase 효소활성은 발효 6개월이 경과하면서 발효 전에 비하여 $167{\sim}800%$ 수준으로 증가하였고, invertase는 발효 초기에는 활성이 거의 없었으나 1개월 경과시에 $60{\sim}170$ units의 약한 활성을 나타내었으며, cellulase는 거의 활성을 나타내지 않았다. 총 페놀함량과 항산화활성도는 발효가 진행됨에 따라 증가하여 $3{\sim}4$개월시 가장 높았고, 그 이후에는 감소하는 경향이었다. Tyrosinase 저해활성은 쑥을 제외한 모든 발효액에서 활성을 나타내었으며, 발효기간에 따라 큰 변화가 없었다. SOD 유사활성은 아카시아와 감잎 발효액에서 각각 $23.1{\sim}25.1%,\;26.8{\sim}29.2%$의 약한 활성을 나타내었으며, 발효 기간에 따라 큰 변화가 없었다. 관능적인 특성을 조사하였을 때 쑥은 발효 기간에 따라 큰 차이가 없었고, 솔잎은 발효기간이 증가되면서 맛과 냄새의 강도가 높아졌으며, 전체적인 기호도가 발효 3개월에서 가장 좋은 것으로 평가되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 산야채 추출물의 발효기간은 $3{\sim}4$개월 정도가 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

The effect of different phytogenic feed additives on reducing odorous compounds in swine was investigated using in vitro fermentation and analyzed their microbial communities. Soybean meal (1%) added with 0.1% different phytogenic feed additives (FA) were in vitro fermented using swine fecal slurries and anaerobically incubated for 12 and 24 h. The phytogenic FAs used were red ginseng barn powder (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer, FA1), persimmon leaf powder (Diospyros virginiana L., FA2), ginkgo leaf powder (Ginkgo biloba L., FA3), and oregano lippia seed oil extract (Lippia graveolens Kunth, OL, FA4). Total gas production, pH, ammonianitrogen ($NH_3$-N), hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), nitrite-nitrogen ($NO_2{^-}$-N), nitrate-nitrogen ($NO_3{^-}$-N), sulfate (${SO_4}^{--}$), volatile fatty acids (VFA) and other metabolites concentration were determined. Microbial communities were also analyzed using 16S rRNA DGGE. Results showed that the pH values on all treatments increased as incubation time became longer except for FA4 where it decreased. Moreover, FA4 incubated for 12 and 24 h was not detected in $NH_3$-N and $H_2S$. Addition of FAs decreased (p<0.05) propionate production but increased (p<0.05) the total VFA production. Ten 16S rRNA DGGE bands were identified which ranged from 96 to 100% identity which were mostly isolated from the intestine. Similarity index showed three clearly different clusters: I (FA2 and FA3), II (Con and FA1), and III (FA4). Dominant bands which were identified closest to Eubacterium limosum (ATCC 8486T), Uncultured bacterium clone PF6641 and Streptococcus lutetiensis (CIP 106849T) were present only in the FA4 treatment group and were not found in other groups. FA4 had a different bacterial diversity compared to control and other treatments and thus explains having lowest odorous compounds. Addition of FA4 to an enriched protein feed source for growing swine may effectively reduce odorous compounds which are typically associated with swine production.
