일반적으로 다산 한우암소는 미경산 혹은 어린 한우암소에 비하여 낮은 육질을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 현재까지 다산 한우 암소 비육을 위한 사료급여방법에 대한 연구는 매우 미비하다. 본 연구는 두 개의 서로 다른 사료로 구성된 사료급여방법이 다산 한우 암소의 육생산과 육질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 대조구로는 일반 비육우사료 급여를 사용하였다. 처리구의 사료는 두 개의 서로 다른 단백질 수준으로 구성되어 있으며 14.28%의 단백질 사료는 비육초기에 급여하였으며, 12.70%의 단백질 수준은 출하 전까지 급여하였다. 대조구는 일반비육우사료(12.39% CP)를 사용하였다. 사양실험은 3개의 농장에서 수행되었다. 농장A에서는 29두의 다산 한우암소를 처리구 그리고 3두를 대조구로 공시하였다. 농장B와 농장C에서는 처리구와 대조구에 각각 8두와 3두 그리고 11두와 4두를 공시하였다. 실험사료들은 총 211일 동안 급여하였고, 처리구의 비육전기사료는 4개월간 급여하였고, 나머지는 비육후기 사료를 급여하였다. 평균일당증체량, 등지방두께, 등심면적, 도체중, 육량지수, 근내지방, 육색 및 조직감등을 분석하였다. 통계처리는 렌덤효과모형[8]을 사용하였다. 처리의 정적효과는 평균일당증체량, 등지방두께, 등심면적, 도체중 및 근내지방에서 나타났으며, 육량지수, 육색 및 조직감은 처리구의 부적효과가 나타났다. 모든 분석항목에서 통계적 유의성이 발견되지 않았는데 이것은 농장별 실험결과의 분산이 매우 컸기 때문이다. 그러나 통합적 효과에 있어 평균일당증체량, 등지방두께, 등심면적 및 도체중에 대한 90% 신뢰구간은 정적효과 방향으로 나타났으며, 나머지 분석항목의 90% 신뢰구간은 부적효과의 방향으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 다산 한우암소비육에 있어 비육전기기간의 고단백질 사료 급여는 육생산성 향상 및 육질 개선의 효과를 나타낼 수 있다.

본 연구는 비육돈에서 지방세포지방산결합단백질(A-FABP) 유전자의 유전자형과 도체형질의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 유전자 A-FABP의 프로모터 영역에 대해 HinfI-RFLP를 이용하여 유전자형을 조사한 결과 두 가지 유전자형(-406T/T T/C)들이 발견되었고 C/C는 발견되지 않았다. 유전자형 중 -406C/C 동형접합자가 발견되지 않는 이유는 비육돈 생산에 관여하는 돼지 품종들 중에서 Duroc 품종만이 이 유전자에 대한 고도의 다형성을 나타내기 때문으로 추정되었다. 유전자형 -406C/-를 나타내는 돼지들은 근내지방과 도체중이 통계적으로 유의적인 증가함을 나타내었으나 (p<0.05), 그 외의 도체형질들(조지방, 육색, 조직감, 수분 삼출도, 근육분리도)은 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다 (p>0.05). 본 연구를 통해 돼지 A-FABP 유전자의 -406C/- 유전자형이 근내지방에 대한 유용한 분자 마커가 될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 다형성이 비육돈의 근내지방에 대한 유용한 분자 마커가 될 수 있으며, 특히 Duroc 품종을 최종 종모돈으로 이용할 경우 이 유전자형을 보유한 돼지를 이용하는 분자육종체계에서 marbling이 잘 된 돼지의 생산을 통한 육질 개선에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of chromium (Cr), dietary crude protein (CP) level and potential interactions between these two factors on growth rate and carcass response, insulin activity and lipid metabolism in lambs. Forty-eight, 9-week-old weaned lambs (Dorper$\times$Small-tail Han sheep, mean initial body weight = $22.96kg{\pm}2.60kg$) were used in a $2{\times}3$ factorial arrangement of supplemental Cr (0 ppb, Cr0; 400 ppb, Cr1; or 800 ppb, Cr2 from chromium yeast) and CP levels (157 g/d to 171 g/d for each animal, LP; or 189 g/d to 209 g/d for each animal, HP). Growth data and blood samples were collected at the beginning and end of the feed trial, after which the lambs were killed. Both Cr additive groups and the HP group increased final weight and average daily gain, especially the Cr1 and HP group (p<0.01). HP increased pelvic fat weight (p<0.05), fat thickness of the 10th rib (p<0.05), longissimus muscle area (p<0.01) and rate of deposition of intramuscular fat (p<0.01). Supplemental Cr decreased the rate of deposition of intramuscular fat (p<0.05). Fasting insulin level and the ratio of insulin to glucose were lower with Cr1 than other groups, but with no significant difference. Glucose concentration was not affected by any treatment. Nonesterified fatty acids increased in the Cr1 (p<0.05) and HP (p<0.05) conditions and there was a significant $Cr{\times}CP$ interaction (p<0.05). Cr1 decreased triglycerides (p<0.05) and total cholesterol (p = 0.151) and HP increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p<0.05). Cr1 decreased lipoprotein lipase activity in subcutaneous adipose tissue (aLPL, p<0.05) and the ratio of aLPL to lipoprotein lipase activity in skeletal muscle (mLPL, p = 0.079). mLPL and hepatic lipase (hHL) were not affected by any treatment. In the present study, Cr had limited effects on growth rate and carcass response, whereas Cr and CP had some notable effects on plasma metabolites and enzyme activities. Cr has a potential effect on energy modulation between lipid and muscle tissue. In addition, few $Cr{\times}CP$ interactions were observed.

이 연구는 제주도 한우집단에서 galactose mutarotase (GALM) 유전자형과 도체형질의 연관성을 시험하였다. GALM 유전자형은 3'-비해독부위(3'-UTR)의 14-bp (5'-GGTCTAATGACCAG-3') 삽입/결실 다형성을 이용하였다. 한우 비육우 집단에서 GALM 유전자의 세 가지 유전자형(LL, LS, SS)이 모두 관찰되었다. 연관성 분석결과는 근내지방의 함량과 밀접한 상관을 보이는 육질등급과 근내지방도의 수준과, 등지방두께의 수준이 유전자형에 따른 유의적인 차이를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 동형접합인 SS 유전자형을 보유한 도체에서 LL 또는 LS 유전자형인 도체에 비해 근내지방 함량 수준은 더 높고, 등지방두께도 더 얇은 수준을 보였다. 반면, 도체중, 등심단면적, 육색, 지방색 등은 GALM 유전자형에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 3'-UTR에서 14-bp 절편의 결실은 RNA의 2차 구조의 변형과 RNA-결합 단백질, microRNA와의 결합능력에 대한 방해를 통해 유전자 발현에 영향을 줄 수 있는 것으로 예측되었다. GALM 유전자의 3'-UTR 영역에서 14-bp 삽입/결실 다형성에 대한 이번 연구결과는 소에서 근육과 등지방 조직에서 galactose 대사에 의한 지방 축적을 통해 성장형질, 도체형질에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다.

Interaction between carcass quality grade and end-point cooking temperature on eating quality of Hanwoo m. longissimus was investigated. Ten (10) of steers were sampled from a commercial population; carcasses with QG 1⁺⁺ (n=5) and QG 1 (n=5) were chosen. Samples were cooked by electric oven at 60 or 82℃ and compared with uncooked control samples. The pH was not affected by cooking temperature but decreased the redness after cooking and steaks cooked at 60℃ were more reddish than steaks cooked at 82℃ in both QG groups. Higher cooking temperature greatly (p<0.05) increased the cooking loss, but there was no significant interaction between cooking temperature and QG on the cooking loss. Moisture is negatively correlated with temperature in both QG while the proportionate relationship between crude fat and end-point temperature found in QG 1⁺⁺. WBSF values were significantly (p<0.05) high for QG 1, while that was significantly (p<0.05) increased when the temperature continues to increase. The increasing quality grade of beef resulted in significant higher (p<0.01) level of TBARS and cooking temperature increased TBARS content. Fatty acid composition was not altered by cooking at both temperatures and also the amount of fat intake was not changed. The current study indicates that eating quality of beef m. longissimus was greatly influenced by end-point temperature being interacted with QG. However, the amount and composition of fat were stable regardless of end-point temperatures. These results will provide a consumer reference to determine cooking conditions and intramuscular fat content.

The effects of barley and oat feeding in table duck were investigated. During a 49-day growing period a corn-based diet was supplemented by 45% barley and 45% oats (isonitrogenously and iso-energetically), respectively. Daily feed intake, FCR-, and weight gain were measured. Abdominal fat, liver, and gizzard weights were determined and dry matter, protein, fat content and fatty acid composition of femoro-tibial muscles and liver fat were measured on the $35^{th}$, $42^{nd}$ and $49^{th}$ days of age. Feeding 45% barley caused a decrease of growth rate ($p{\leq}0.05$) during the first 4 weeks, which was followed by a rapid, compensatory growth from the $6^{th}$ week of age ($p{\leq}0.05$). Both barley and oat supplementation increased protein ($p{\leq}0.05$), while decreasing fat ($p{\leq}0.05$) and dry matter ($p{\leq}0.05$) content of the liver. Feeding of 45% oats in the diet decreased the monounsaturated fatty acid ($p{\leq}0,05$) and increased the n-6 ($p{\leq}0,05$), n-3 ($p{\leq}0,05$) and total polyunsaturated ($p{\leq}0,05$) fatty acid content of the intramuscular fat owing to the high proportion of soluble non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in the diet. This might be explained by the more pronounced decrease in digestibility of saturated than unsaturated fatty acids in birds fed a soluble NSP-enriched diet. This result might be caused by the "cage effect" of soluble NSP trapping the bile salts which are more important for the absorption of saturated than polyunsaturated fatty acids.

This study was to detect the expression of heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) and adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) gene mRNA in different tissues of Rugao and Luyuan chickens at 56 d and 120 d by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase-chain reaction (FQ-RT-PCR). The primers were designed according to the sequences of HFABP, A-FABP and GAPDH genes in Gallus gallus, which were used as target genes and internal reference gene, respectively. The levels of H-FABP and A-FABP gene expression were detected by SYBR Green I FQ-RT-PCR. The relative H-FABP and A-FABP gene mRNA expression level was calculated with 2-$^{{\Delta}Ct}$. Melting curve analysis showed a single peak of three genes. Intramuscular fat (IMF) content in breast muscle and leg muscle of the two chicken breeds at 120 d was higher than at 56 d. IMF content in breast muscle and leg muscle at 56 d and 120 d in Luyuan was significantly higher than in Rugao, however, abdominal fat of Luyuan was significantly lower than that of Rugao. The relative H-FABP gene mRNA expression level in cardiac muscle was the highest in both chicken breeds. The relative H-FABP and A-FABP gene expression of different tissues in Luyuan was higher than in Rugao. H-FABP gene mRNA expression had a negative effect on IMF of leg and breast muscles, and was significantly negatively correlated with IMF content. The relative A-FABP gene mRNA level in abdominal fat was higher than in liver. The A-FABP gene mRNA was not expressed in leg, breast and cardiac muscles. A-FABP gene mRNA expression level was significantly positively correlated with abdominal fat and had a significant effect on abdominal fat but not IMF content.

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with fat deposition traits in pigs are important gene positions in a chromosome that influence meat quality of pork. For QTL study, a three generation resource population was constructed from a cross between Korean native boars and Landrace sows. A total of 240 F2 animals from intercross of F1 were produced. 80 microsatellite markers covering chromosomes 1 to 10 were selected to genotype the resource population. Intervals between adjacent markers were approximately 19 cM. Linkage analysis was performed using CRIMAP software version 2.4 with a FIXED option to obtain the map distances. For QTL analysis, the public web-based software, QTL express (http://www.qtl.cap.ed.ac.uk) was used. Two significant and two suggestive QTL were identified on SSC 6, 7, and 8 as affecting body fat and IMF traits. For QTL affecting IMF, the most significant association was detected between marker sw71 and sw1881 on SSC 6, and a suggestive QTL was identified between sw268 and sw205 on SSC8. These QTL accounted for 26.58% and 12.31% of the phenotypic variance, respectively. A significant QTL affecting IMF was detected at position 105 cM between markers sw71 and sw1881 on SSC 6.

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of quality grade (QG) on meat tenderness characteristics of ten major muscles from Hanwoo steers. A total of 25 Hanwoo carcasses ($5\;carcasses{\times}5\;QGs$) were selected. Intramuscular fat content, collagen content, sarcomere length, and Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) of Longissimus thoracis (LT), Longissimus lumborum (LL), Psoas major (PM), Semisponals (SS), Triceps brachii (TB), Semimembranosus (SM), Gluteus medius (GM), Rectus Abdominis (RA), Superficialis flexor (SF), and Internal and external intercostal (IC) were determined. IC had the highest fat content, followed by LT, RA, LL, PM, GM, SS, SF, TB, and SM. High-fat muscles such as LT, LL, IC, RA, and PM had significantly (p<0.05) different fat contents among QGs. Collagen contents were significantly (p<0.05) different among QGs. With decreasing QG, increasing collagen content was found in muscles. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in sarcomere length among QGs of several muscles. However, no significant (p>0.05) difference in sarcomere length was found among QGs for LL, PM, or RA muscle. PM had the lowest WBSF, followed by LL, LT, RA, IC, GM, SM, SF, SS, and TB. WBSF of QG $1^{{+}{+}}$ was lower than that of QG 1 for SS, TB, and SM. All muscles of QG 1 showed lower WBSF than QG 3 except TB or IC. Results of this study suggested that differences in WBSF among these 10 muscles by QG were due to differences in collagen content and sarcomere length.

본 연구는 약 192일령의 총 40두(암 21, 수 19) 재래돼지의 일반성분 조성을 성별에 따라 비교한 결과 단백질 함량은 차이가 없었으나 지방함량은 암퇘지가 유의적으로 높게 나타난 반면에 수분 및 회분함량은 수퇘지가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 육질특성에서 암퇘지가 수퇘지와 비교하여 보수력이 높고 전단력이 유의적으로 낮은 것으로 분석되었으나(p<0.05) 가열감량은 성별간에 유의적인 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 육색에서는 백색도 및 적색도는 암퇘지와 수퇘지 모두 비슷하였으나 황색도는 암퇘지가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 재래돼지 등심육의 아미노산 조성 및 무기물 조성은 모두 성별 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 그러나 지방산 조성에서는 암퇘지가 근내지방층에 C16:1n7, C18:1n9 함량이 수퇘지보다 유의적으로 더 많았고, 등지방층에서는 C14:0, C16:0, C20:1n9, C20:5n3이 수퇘지보다 유의적으로 더 많았다(p<0.05). 반면에 수퇘지는 근내지방층에는 C18:0, C18:1n7, C18:2n6, C20:1n9, C20:4n6, C22:4n6이 더 많았고, 등지방층에는 C18:2n6, C22:4n6 함량이 암퇘지보다 유의적으로 많은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 관능특성에서 암퇘지가 수퇘지와 비교하여 다즙성, 연도, 향미에서 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 본 연구는 재래돼지 성별에 따른 성분조성 및 육질특성을 비교한 것으로 앞으로 재래돼지에 대한 적절한 품질인증기준을 설정하는데 중요한 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
