The amounts of organic matter present in soil and the rate of soil organic matter (SOM) turnover are influenced by agricultural management practice, such as rotation, tillage, forage plow down direct seeding and manure application. The amount of nutrients released from SOM is highly dependent upon the state of the organic matter. If it contains a large proportion of light fractions (low-density) more nutrients will be available to the glowing crops. However, if it contains mostly heavy fractions (high-density) that are difficult to breakdown, then lesser amounts of nutrients will be available. The state of the SOM and subsequent release of nutrients into the soil can be predicted by NIRS as long as a robust regression equation is developed. The NIRS method is known for its rapidity, convenience, simplicity, accuracy and ability to analyze many constituents at the same time. Our hypothesis is that the NIRS technique allows researchers to investigate fully and in more detail each field for the status of SOM, available moisture and other soil properties in Alberta soils for precision farming in the near future. One hundred thirty one (131) Alberta soils with various levels (low 2-6%, medium 6-10%, and high >10%) of organic matter content and most of dry land soils, including some irrigated soils from Southern Alberta, under various management practices were collected throughout Northern, Central and Southern Alberta. Two depths (0- 15 cm and 15-30 cm) of soils from Northern Alberta were also collected. These air-dried soil samples were ground through 2 mm sieve and scanned using Foss NIR System 6500 with transport module and natural product cell. With particle size above 150 microns only, the “Ludox” method (Meijboom, Hassink and van Noorwijk, Soil Biol. Biochem.27: 1109-1111, 1995) which uses stable silica, was used to fractionate SOM into light, medium and heavy fractions with densities of <1.13, 1.13-1.37 and >1.37 respectively, The SOM fraction with the particle size below 150 microns was discarded because practically, this fraction with very fine particles can't be further separated by wet sieving based on density. Total organic matter content, mechanical texture, ash after 375$^{\circ}C$, and dry matter (DM) were also determined by “standard” soil analysis methods. The NIRS regression equations were developed using Infra-Soft-International (ISI) software, version 3.11.

Purpose: Fermented feedstuffs have been found to improve productivity, reduce manure odor, and increase immunity. However, because there is not a commercialized pelletizing system for fermented total mixed ration (TMR) for pig feeding in Korea, a pelletizing system using TMR fermented feed was developed. Methods: The particle size, density, and volumetric density of the TMR feeds used in the test were measured. The pellet durability index (PDI, %) value of the pelletized TMR feed based on its moisture content, and the amount of pellet production based on the rotation speed of the compression roller were measured. Results: The test materials, TMR1 and TMR2, were approximately compressed to 387 kg/m3 with 18.2% (w.b.) and 544 kg/m3 with 22.2% (w.b.), respectively. Throughout this pellet molding test, the moisture content from 15 to 20% (w.b.) of mixture feedstuffs, including fermented forage, could be used for pellet molding. Based on the results, a small-scale pellet molding system of fermented TMR was designed and manufactured for pig farms. As rotation speed increased, the throughput increased, whereas the moisture content decreased by approximately 2% (w.b.) because of pellet molding. The best yield of pellets with 94.2% PDI was of 536 kg/h at 135 rpm rotation speed. Conclusions: Although the throughput of the prototype increased as the rotation speed increased, it was difficult to operate because of the greater noise and the lower PDI (%) at the higher rotation speed of the pellet molding rotor. It was found that the best production of pellets using the prototype was 536 kg/h having a PDI of 94.2% or more at a rotation speed of 135 rpm.

본 실험은 NDF 및 ADF 함량이 높은 버섯폐배지(버섯잔사)에 대한 볏짚 대체 가능성을 채식 행동 관점에서 검토할 목적으로 실시하였으며, 시험사료인 농후사료+볏짚(Control: 5.32kg+자유채식), 농후사료+버섯폐배지+볏짚(T1 : 5.32kg+0.82kg+자유채식) 및 농후사료+버섯폐배지+ 볏짚 (T2 : 5.32 kg+1.64 kg+자유채식)를 급여하여 채식 행동 조사를 하였다. 공시가축은 평균체중 357.0+2.9kg인 한우 18두를 이용하였으며, 사료급여에 있어서는 농후사료와 버섯페배지는 1일 2회로 반량씩 급여하였으며 볏짚은 자유채식토록 하였다. 볏짚 채식량은 Control구가 2.66kg으로서 가장 높게, T2구가 2.03 kg으로 가장 낮게 나타난 반면, 총채식량 및 NDF 채식량은 T2 > T1 > Control구 순으로 높게 나타났다. 채식시간은 Control구가 289.3분, T2구가 290.5로 비슷했고 T1구가 236.0분으로 가장 적었다(p<0.05). 반추시간에 있어서는 버섯폐배지 첨가량을 0%(0.0kg), 15%(0.82kg) 및 30%(1.64kg)로 증가 시켜줌에 따라 반추시간은 451.0분에서 359.5분으로 직선적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). 이는 버섯폐배지의 사료입자 크기가 매우 작았던 것에 기인된 것으로 생각된다. 1일 저작시간, 식괴수, 저작회수와 식괴당 저작수 및 사료가치지수는 볏짚을 급여한 대조구에서 모두 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 그러나 식괴당 반추시간은 T2(69.4분)에서, 분 당 식괴수는 T1구(1.07번)에서 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 채식율, 반추효율 및 저작효율성에 있어서는 버섯폐배지 첨가 급여구(T1, T2)가 무첨가 급여구(Control)에 비하여 높게 나타났으며, 이는 높은 채식량과 버섯폐배지의 작은 입자도가 관여한 것으로 생각된다. 군 행동은 모든 구(Control, T1 및 T2)에서 농후사료 급여시에 통일된 행동을 보였고, 반추 및 휴식에 있어서 군 행동은 처리 간 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과 육성우 배합사료에 버섯폐배지 15% 및 30%를 첨가 급여함으로서 반추시간, 식괴수, 저작수 및 FVI치는 다소 낮은 결과치를 보였으나, 채식행동에 큰 문제가 될 정도는 아니며, 오히려 채식율, 반추효율 및 저작효율에 있어서 무첨가구에 비하여 첨가구가 높았던 점을 감안 할 때 한우 육성우 조사료원으로서 대체 가능성을 기대할 수 있다.
