This study aims to analyze the feedback loops and policy simulation of price fluctuation of Korean Cattle. The Korean Cattle market shows the 'Cycle of Beef' since 1970. In general, the market for agricultural commodities exhibit repeated cycles of prices and production. Why Beef products market in Korea shows the fluctuation of cattle and beef price repeatedly for forty years? To find an answer, this paper explores the feedback structure of the dynamics of the beef market by the systems thinking and build a stock-flow diagram model for the simulation of future behavior of the market sector of the Cattle. The dynamic simulation model was developed to identify and analyze the cyclical behavior among many variables, which is the number of cattle (calves, cow, etc.), the price of cattle, the demand for beef, the desirable number of cattle, slaughter, etc. The results of this study demonstrate that dominant feedback loops between the number of cattle and livestock prices. The demand for Beef and slaughter with time delay, also the results of the simulation to explain the persistence of future price fluctuations and actions meat market until 2025.

This study surveyed the prevalence of traumatic reticular diseases (TRD) of slaughter cattle in Korea, the typology of the causative foreign bodies and the effects on beef quality and carcass weight. The overall prevalence of TRD in 3,121 slaughter cattle was 5.5%. However, the prevalence was significantly higher in Korea indigenous cattle Hanwoo (5.8%, p < 0.05) and female cattle (20.75%, p < 0.001). The prevalence significantly increased in aged cattle (p < 0.001). Major lesions related to foreign bodies were reticulitis (96%) and peritonitis (86%). Most causative foreign bodies were made of iron including nails, wires, steel rods, screw nails, and syringe needles. Cattle affected with TRD produced significantly lower grade quality of beef compared to normal cattle (p < 0.0001), but TRD did not affect carcass weight. The data will be useful in the management of TRD, with the aim of increasing beef productivity in Korea.

한우육(1등급), 유우육, 교잡종우육 및 호주산 수입우육의 등심부위를 구입하여 각종의 쇠고기 품질을 비교, 평가하기 위하여 연도, 다즙성 및 풍미에 관련되는 성분을 분석함과 아울러 관능검사를 실시하였다. 풍미에 관련되는 화학적 성분들로서는 비단백태질소, 핵산물질, 지방산, 유리아미노산 등을 분석하였고 쇠고기의 연도 측정을 위해 Hydroxyproline, 보수력, 근내지방함량 분석 및 Instron을 이용한 연도측정을 하였다. 또한 쇠고기의 기호성 및 풍미특성을 비교, 평가하기 위해 주관적 평가방법인 삼점검사와 정량적 묘사분석을 수행하였다. 풍미에 관련되는 비단백태질소, 핵산물질, 지방산, 유리아미노산 등을 분석한 결과, 비단백태질소는 한우육이 가장 낮아 도살후 저장기간이 가장 짧은 것으로 판단되며, 핵산물질은 한우육이 가장 높았다. 유리아미노산 함량은 한우육이 가장 낮았으나 염기성 아미노산과 방향족 아미노산의 상대적 비율은 가장 높았던 반면, 황함유 아미노산의 함량은 수입육이 가장 높았다. TBA가(價)는 한우육이 가장 낮았고, 지방산의 구성을 볼 때 한우육의 불포화지방산 비율은 수입우육이나 유우육보다 높았으나 교잡종우육과는 비슷하였다. 연도는 Instron을 이용한 경도측정에서 수입우육과 교잡종우육이 한우육과 유우육보다 질긴 것으로 나타났으며, 콜라젠 함량은 유우육이 가장 높았고 한우육이 가장 낮았다. 다즙성을 부분적으로 반영하는 보수력은 한우육이 가장 높았고 아울러 pH도 가상 높았다. 근내지방함량도 한우육이 가장 높아 다즙성이 우수한 것으로 판단되었다. 관능검사 결과, triangle test에서는 한우육과 수입우육, 한우육과 교잡종우육, 수입우육과 교잡종우육간의 차이를 관능검사요원들이 구별하였다. 그러나 정량적 묘사분석 결과 다즙성을 제외하고는 냄새, 풍미, 연도에서 품종간 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 한우의 비휘발성 풍미성분은 다른 쇠고기 시료에 비해 높은 경향을 나타냈음에도 불구하고 주관적 기호성 평가에서는 유의차를 나타내지 못했다. 이것은 한국인들이 아직 쇠고기 품질 특성에 대한 객관적 평가기준을 인식하지 못하고 있어 여러가지 쇠고기간의 비교평가는 할 수 있지만, 개별 쇠고기에 대한 절대평가는 제대로 할 수 없다는 것을 보여준다.

Jeju black cattle are known as one of Korea's traditional cattle. However, Hanwoo is more well-known to Korean meat consumers as representative beef cattle. Despite the popularity of these two breeds, comparison of the nutritional characteristics between Jeju black cattle and Hanwoo have not been studied. Here, we compared the fatty acid and amino acid characteristics between two Korean traditional cattle and Wagyu breeds. A total of 62 cattle were used in this study. The Jeju black cattle beef had significantly higher unsaturated fatty acids than Hanwoo (p<0.05). Savory fatty acids, including oleic acid were also higher than in Hanwoo cattle (p<0.05). The negative flavor fatty acids, such as palmitic acid were significantly lower than in Hanwoo (p<0.001). On the other hand, linoleic acid which imparts a negative flavor was higher than Hanwoo (p<0.05). Amino acids, including alanine and glutamine, usually representative of the umami taste were present in significantly higher proportions in Jeju black cattle (p<0.05). In addition, bitter tasting amino acids, including valine, leucine, isoleucine, and methionine were lower in Jeju black cattle beef than in Hanwoo (p<0.05, p<0.001, p<0.001, and p<0.001 each). Taken together, our results suggest that Jeju black cattle beef had higher savory flavor and umami taste which affected consumers preference for the meat.

Hanwoo cattle are an important food source in Korea and their supply can have a major impact on meat availability for Korean consumers. The Hanwoo population was 1.8 million head in 2005 and gradually increased to 2.6 million in 2015. Per capita beef consumption has also increased, to 11.6 kg per year in 2015, and is expected to continue to increase. Because intramuscular fat percentage is a critical contributor to meat quality, Hanwoo cattle are fed a high-energy corn-based diet for long fattening periods. Long fed diet causes significant alterations in fat percentage in the loin muscle and other areas of the carcass. However, these long feeding periods increase feeding costs and beef prices. Recently, there has been increased Korean consumer demand for lean beef which has less fat, but is tender and priced more reasonably. These consumer demands on the Korean beef industry are driving differing beef production systems and also changes to the beef grading methodology. Korean government has made a significant investment to select bulls with favorable production traits using progeny testing. Progeny tested bull semen has been disseminated to all Hanwoo farmers. A beef traceability system has been employed for all cattle breeds in Korea since 2009. Hanwoo cattle are ear-marked with a 12-digit identification number from birth to slaughter. This number allows traceability of the management history of individual cattle, and also provides information to consumers. Traceability including management information such as herd, farm, year of birth, and carcass data can determine estimated breeding values of Hanwoo. For a sustainable Hanwoo industry, research scientists in Korea have attempted to develop feeds for efficient fattening periods and precision feeding systems based on genetic information for Hanwoo cattle. These initiatives aim to Korean consumer demands for beef and provide more precision management in beef production in Korea.

This paper describes the differentiation between native Korean cattle (Hanwoo) and Holsteins or imported cattle using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by targeting the sequence of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene. A rapid and accurate method was developed to identify Hanwoo by genotyping the DNA extracted from 295 commercial beef samples (obtained from 5 provinces in South Korea) labeled as Hanwoo beef. The results of real-time PCR assays for the proportions of Hanwoo were 84, 85.7, 95, 91.4, and 90% in the areas of Seoul, Joongbu, Youngnam, Honam, and Chungcheong, respectively. Thus, the beef samples from 295 butcher shops, which asserted to only sell Hanwoo, showed that 259 of 295 samples were of the Hanwoo beef gene type (T-type) and 36 of 295 samples were Holsteins of imported dairy cattle gene types (C-type or C/T type). In conclusion, the proportion of Hanwoo beef was 87.8% and the proportion of Holstein or imported dairy cattle meat was 12.2% (C-type: 9.8%, C/T-type: 2.4%). Generally, most consumers can not differentiate imported meat from Hanwoo beef. Therefore, Hanwoo beef and imported dairy cattle meat that is sold in butcher shops should have mandatory identification by using MC1R genotyping based on real-time PCR.
