The structure of the Hanwoo (Korean Native Cattle) Industry remains very weak and vulnerable to the WTO/IMF system. Considering that the majority of cattle farmers are small sized, and that marketing systems are outdated and inefficient, rapid expansion of lower priced beef imports by WTO system and rapid increasing of production costs by IMF system would lead to the deprivation of a regular source of farm income and threaten the stability of rural life. Accordingly, the Hanwoo industry should be expanded in accordance with progress in the implementation of (1) programs for the structural adjustment and (2) measures to compensate for the loss. Efforts for lowering major production factor costs needs to continue, In order to increase the supply of calves at low cost, the programs of collective cow-calf farms should be expanded, thereby reducing the cost of calf purchase, which constitutes the largest share of Hanwoo production cost. Also, feedlot operations should be encouraged for small herd farms in order to achieve a substantial saving in beef production costs by integrated operations from calf production to cattle fattening. A substantial saving would also be made by collective purchase and distribution of various inputs through the cooperatives' channels. Extension services should be strengthened for cattle farm management, cattle care and feeding, prevention of cattle disease, etc. In order to minimize cash outlays for commercial mixed feeds, utilization of far by-products as feeds should be enhanced and production of forage crops productive of resources, such as land and rural labor, during the farm o(f-season, needs to be encouraged. Also, technological development for enhancing the nutritional value of farm by-products should be encouraged. Measures for successful segregation of the Hanwoo beef market should be implemented, thereby enhancing incentive for quality beef producers and protecting consumers willing to pay higher price for quality beef. For development of the Hanwoo industry, a considerable time frame would be required in order for (1) small livestock farmers to make a successful adjustment by staying in the enterprise and achieving increased price efficiency (2) livestock farmers to acquire know-how for producing quality Hanwoo beef, (3) the ongoing Government policy of enhancing price-quality competitiveness, and for improving the quality Hanwoo beef marketing to take root. (4) consumers to increase their ability to distinguish meat quality, and others.

Objective: Our study aimed to investigate the effects of a 2% increase in dietary total digestible nutrients (TDN) value during the growing (7 to 12 mo of age) and fattening (13 to 30 mo of age) period of Hanwoo steers. Methods: Two hundred and twenty Hanwoo steers were assigned to one of two treatments: i) a control group (basal TDN, BTDN, n = 111 steers, growing = 70.5%, early fattening = 71.0%, late fattening = 74.0%) or high TDN (HTDN, n = 109 steers, growing = 72.6%, early = 73.1%, late = 76.2%). Growth performance, carcass traits, blood parameters, and gene expression of longissimus dorsi (LD) (7, 18, and 30 mo) were quantified. Results: Steers on the BTDN diets had increased (p≤0.02) DMI throughout the feeding trial compared to HTDN, but gain did not differ appreciably. A greater proportion of cattle in HTDN received Korean quality grade 1 (82%) or greater compared to BTDN (77%), while HTDN had a greater yield grade (29%) than BTDN (20%). Redness (a^*) of LD muscle was improved (p = 0.021) in steers fed HTDN. Feeding the HTDN diet did not alter blood parameters. Steers fed HTDN diet increased (p = 0.015) the proportion of stearic acid and tended to alter linoleic acid. Overall, saturated, unsaturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids of LD muscle were not impacted by the HTDN treatment. A treatment by age interaction was noted for mRNA expression of myosin heavy chain (MHC) IIA, IIX, and stearoyl CoA desaturase (SCD) (p≤0.026). No treatment effect was detected on gene expression from LD muscle biopsies at 7, 18, and 30 mo of age; however, an age effect was detected for all variables measured (p≤0.001). Conclusion: Our results indicated that feeding HTDN diet could improve overall quality grade while minimum effects were noted in gene expression, blood parameters, and growing performance. Cattle performance prediction in the feedlot is a critical decision-making tool for optimal planning of cattle fattening and these data provide both benchmark physiological parameters and growth performance measures for Hanwoo cattle feeding enterprises.

한우농장의 효율적인 청정관리를 위하여 경상북도 20개 시 군에 있는 한우축사에서 환경세균의 계절별 분포를 2년(2006년과 2007년)에 걸쳐서 정량적으로 조사하였다. 축사 바깥에 있는 공기 중의 연평균 낙하세균 밀도는 $3{\pm}1$ CFU/$cm^2\cdot15$ min (n=63)이었으나, 축사 안에 있는 공기중의 평균 낙하세균 밀도는 봄에는 $8{\pm}1$ CFU/$cm^2\cdot15$ min (n=63), 여름에는 $16{\pm}2$ CFU/$cm^2\cdot15$ min (n=69), 가을에는 $7{\pm}2$ CFU/$cm^2\cdot15$ min (n=69), 겨울에는 $6{\pm}1$ CFU/$cm^2\cdot15$ min (n=70)이었다. 가장 높은 수치인 여름철 자료를 제외하면 다른 계절에는 축사 안 공기의 평균 낙하세균 밀도가 $7{\pm}1$ CFU/$cm^2\cdot15$ min이었으며 분산분석 결과 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(P=0.37). 한우음용수에서의 평균 세균 밀도는 봄에는 $4,710{\pm}780$ CFU/ml (n=65), 여름에는 $10,430{\pm}1170$ CFU/ml (n=65), 가을에는 $4,820{\pm}700$ CFU/ml (n=64), 겨울에는 $2,510{\pm}530$ CFU/ml (n=64)이었다. 가장 높은 수치인 여름철 자료를 제외하면 다른 계절에는 축사 한우음용수의 평균 세균 밀도는 $4,000{\pm}400$ CFU/ml이었으며 분산분석 결과 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다 (p-value=0.027). 축사 토양에서 나타나는 E. coli O157 빈도는 2007년도 시료채취 수를 기준으로 할 때 봄에는 5% (n=65), 여름에는 72% (n=65), 가을에는 67% (n=66), 겨울에는 29% (n=66)이었다. 따라서 여름철과 가을철에 많이 분포한 E. coli O157이 추운 겨울철을 지나면서 봄철에는 대부분 소멸하는 것으로 나타났다.
