Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the effects of brewer's yeast hydrolysate (YH) on growth performance, nutrients digestibility, blood profiles and meat quality of growing pigs. Methods: A total of 200 growing pigs ($[Landrace{\times}Yorkshire]{\times}Duroc$) (initial body weight, $25.31{\pm}1.29kg$) were allotted to 5 treatments as follow: CON, basic diet; and YH treatment, CON+0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1.0% of YH, respectively. Results: On wk 11, 16 and overall phase, pigs fed YH diet showed a linear improvement in average daily body gain and gain/feed (p<0.05). The pigs that received YH linearly increased the digestibility of dry matter, nitrogen, and energy on wk 11 and 16. The concentration of serum urea nitrogen was linearly increased in YH treatments on wk 16. However, the carcass weight, back fat and lean muscle percentage of pigs receiving YH had no significant change. Besides, no difference was observed in creatinine and total protein in the blood among treatments. Conclusion: The pigs fed a graded YH diet had improved growth performance and nutrient digestibility, meanwhile, the YH increased the serum urea nitrogen in the growing pigs.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of multi-enzyme supplementation in a corn and soybean meal-based diet on the growth performance, apparent nutrient digestibility, blood profile, fecal microbes and noxious gas emission in growing pigs. A total of 80 crossbred [(Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire) ${\times}$ Duroc] growing pigs with an average body weight (BW) of $25.04{\pm}1.44kg$ were used in a 6-week experiment. The experimental treatments were as follows: CON, basal diet and; T1, basal diet + 100 mg/kg multi-enzyme. During the experiment, the pigs fed the diet with multi-enzyme supplementation had a higher gain to feed ratio (G/F) (p < 0.05) than the pigs fed the diet without multi-enzyme supplementation. On day 42, the pigs fed the diet with multi-enzyme supplementation had decreased $H_2S$ and $NH_3$ emissions (p < 0.05) than the pigs fed the diet without multi-enzyme supplementation. However, no effect was observed on nutrient digestibility, blood profiles and fecal microbes among the treatments (p > 0.05). In conclusion, it is suggested that multi-enzyme supplementation in a corn and soybean meal based diet can partly improve the growth performance and noxious gas emission of growing pigs.

This study investigated the influence of sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL) emulsifier on the growth performance and nutrient digestibility of growing pigs. For this 56-day long-duration experiment, 80 heads of cross-bred ([Landrace × Yorkshire] × Duroc) pigs with an initial body weight of 23.80 ± 4.87 kg were divided into two (2) treatment groups each fed a different diet: with and without an emulsifier. Each treatment group had 8 replication pens with 5 pigs per pen. Feed treatments were as follows: 1) CON: Basal diet, and 2) SSL: CON + 0.05% SSL. Body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were measured for three periods: 0 - 4, 5 - 8, and 0 - 8 weeks. The nutrient digestibility parameters consisting of dry matter (DM) digestibility and nitrogen (N) digestibility were calculated on the 4^th and 8^th week. Based on the results, the SSL supplementation did not show any significant influence on the growth performance parameters during the 0 to 4 and 5 to 8 week phases. For the overall performance, only the FCR (p = 0.048) was significantly different in the emulsifier fed group (SSL) compared to the CON group (T1). DM and N digestibility was also not influenced by the SSL addition in the growing pig diet. Overall, the SSL supplementation showed a limited effect on the growth performance of growing pigs.

In this study, we have analyzed the access status and the data usage trend of the public Wi-Fi on the bus, which has not been carried out in the previous studies. The analysis period of this study is 5 months from Nov. 2020 to Mar. 2021. When we compared the access status of Seoul metropolitan and the non-metropolitan region against each region's deployment status ratio, the access ratio of the metropolitan region was higher than the non-metropolitan region, of which the gap was 4.53%. The access for each region showed the growing trend, which was 43.5% on average. The data usage also showed the growing trend, 2.7% on average. Weekly data usage showed the growing trend irrespective of weekdays or weekends. The data usage of the weekdays was 695GB higher than weekends. The data usage during commuting hours including school (7:00~9:00 a.m. and 4:00~6:00 p.m.) was higher than 3,000GB. We can conclude that bus public Wi-Fi was used more actively in non-metropolitan region than Seoul metropolitan region by the office workers and students. The secure access also showed the growing trend. And the secure data usage also showed the growing trend.

This study evaluated the effects of dehulled lupin kernel (DLK) supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine, fecal microbiota and fecal noxious gas emission in growing pigs. A total of 108 growing pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc) with an average initial body weight (IBW) of 24.49 ± 3.2 kg were allocated to one of three dietary treatments (5, 10, and 20 % DLK) according to sex and BW in a randomized complete block design for 6 wk. Each dietary treatment consisted of 9 replication pens with 4 pigs per pen (2 gilts and 2 borrows). The results show that there were no significant differences in growth performance and nutrient digestibility among the treatments (p > 0.05). However, pigs fed the DLK20 diet had a higher BUN compared with those fed the DLK10 diet (p < 0.05). No effects were observed on the fecal microbiota and fecal noxious gas emission among the treatments. In conclusion, the inclusion of 20% DLK had no adverse effects on the performance in growing pigs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of condensed molasses fermentation solubles (CMS) on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and backfat thickness of growing pigs. In an eight-week trial, a total of 120 cross-bred ([Landrace × Yorkshire]× Duroc) growing pigs with an average initial body weight (BW) of 25.84 ± 1.60 kg were used. The pigs were randomly assigned to one of two dietary treatments based on body weight and sex. The dietary treatments were as follows: CON - corn-soybean meal-based basal diet (CON) + 2% molasses; and TRT1 - CON + 2% CMS. Each treatment had 12 replicates with five pigs (three gilts and two castrated barrows) per pen. Though there were no significant differences observed in terms of the growth performance and nutrient digestibility (p < 0.05), the backfat thickness in pigs fed 2% CMS tended to increase in week 4 (p < 0.1). Thus, 2% CMS could be optimal to replace molasses given that it does not exert any adverse effects on the performance of growing pigs.

Sucrose is a common disaccharide sugar that is used in pig diet mainly as an energy source as well as to improve the palatability of diet. This study investigated the effects of dietary sucrose supplementation on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, fecal score, and serum cortisol of growing pigs. A total of 96 growing pigs were randomly allocated into three treatment groups (8 repetitions per treatment, 4 pigs per pen). Dietary treatments included: control (CON), basal diets; treatment 1 (TRT1), basal diet with 0.75% sucrose; and treatment 2 (TRT2), basal diet with 1% sucrose. Dietary sucrose supplementation tended to improve (p < 0.10) the average daily gain compared to CON group. Moreover, increased (p < 0.05) feed intake was found in the sucrose supplemented group compared to the CON group. In comparison to the CON diet the nutrient digestibility of energy tended to increase (p < 0.10) by sucrose supplemented diet. Fecal score was not altered through dietary sucrose supplementation. Decreased (p < 0.05) serum cortisol was found in both the 0.75% sucrose and 1% sucrose supplemented diet than the CON diet. In conclusion, sucrose can be a suitable feed ingredient for growing pigs as it can improve the palatability of diet as well as feed intake, energy digestibility and reduce stress through reducing serum cortisol.

In this paper, we propose growing algorithm of wavelet neural network. It is growing algorithm that adds hidden nodes using wavelet frame which approximately supports orthogonality in wavelet neural network based on wavelet theory. The result of this processing can be reduced global error and progresses performance efficiency of wavelet neural network. We apply the proposed algorithm to approximation problem and evaluate effectiveness of proposed algorithm.
