An abattoir survey was carried out on 300 Korean native cattles reared and slaughtered in North Kyeongnam area to determine the prevalence of Fasciola hepatica infections. The average prevalence of fascioliasis was 46.4% ; the infection rate had a tendency to increase with age. Some hematological and biochemical indices were assayed in Korean native cattle naturally harbouring Fasciola hepatica infection and compared with uninfection control. Affected animal revealed reduction total erythrocyte count and hemoglobin, which was consistent in total leucocyte count and packed cell volume. Infected cattle had lower level of serum total protein and albumin, was consistent serum calcium and glucose indices, had higher levels of SGOT, SGPT and cholesterol indices.

The serum alkaline phosphatase activity was determined with 64 Korean cattles in different sexe and age groups, using p-nitrophenylphosphate as the substrate. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The mean value of serum alkaline phosphatase activity in Korean cattle was $1.78{\pm}0.21$ Bessey-Lowry units/ml, and $1.71{\pm}0.21$ units/ml. in female and $1.86{\pm}0.21$ units/ml. in male, respectively. 2. The serum alkaline phosphatase activity decreased with age from 4 years group. 3. No statistical significance was recognized among the sexes, but difference among the age groups was found to be highly significant.

The serum and erythrocyte cholinesterase activity and their seasonal variations were determined with 8 males of healthy Korean cattles during one year period from September, 1966 to august, 1977. The results obtained were as follows : 1. The serum cholinestrase activity showed a range of 0.64mg/hr/ml to 8.26mg/hr/ml with a mean value of $3.69{\pm}0.25mg/hr/ml$. There was highly significant differences in the seasonal variations. 2. The erythrocyte cholinesterase activity ranged from 29.78mg/hr/ml to 48.88mg/hr/ml with a mean value of $38.37{\pm}1.11mg/hr/ml$. Seasonal variations was not found to be significant. 3. The results showed that the serum cholinesterase activity of Korean cattle had great variations among individual values and significant seasonal variations. On the other hand, cholinesterase activity of erythrocyte showed a little variations among individual values and no significant seasonal variations.

The 3211 Korean native cows raised in Muan, Milyang were investigated for the purpose of finding reproductive rate of cows that retained fetal membrane for two years from April, 1981 to March, 1983. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1. The incidence of retained fetal membrane was found in 64 cows(1.98%). 2. The day to first estrus was similar to normal postpartum period unless concurrent genital infection occured. 3. Conception rate of cows that retained fetal membrane was 32.7%, 10.9%, 5.2% and 3.6% at the first, second, third and forth service, respectively and non pregnant cow was 47.6%. 4. Reproductive disorder of non pregnant cows was the highest in repeat breeder and the effect of treatment was very low.

We report the electrocution of Korean native cattle by a fallen electric wire, which caused the death of thirteen animals. The owner of the cattle felt an electric shock on touching the steel pen and found a fallen 220-V wire on the roof of the barn; additionally, the roof was singed. Clinically, the animals developed spasm, difficulty breathing, and excessive salivation. Histopathologically, many visceral organs revealed severe congestion or hemorrhage, which is consistent with previous reports. This study revealed that the proper installation of electric wires on farms is essential to prevent economic loss by electrocution.

This research is based on the protection of the social safty with the preventive measures against Creutzfedt-jakob's and Mad cow Disease which has been drawn an attention of the public. It also has Known as an epidemic with rapid transmission an severe conteminaton to hurt the health through beef. In this work, some fruitful suggestions have been made to prevent and to minimize the harms Creutzfedt-jakob's and Mad Cow Disease : 1) We should Pay attention to the prior preventive measures by detecting the modes and the causes of the contemination lute route ; 2) there should be a step to inoculate the cattles to provide non-conteminated fresh feed for cows ; and 3) a health official should be alert to prevent the rapid transmission to the public by breaking the infected route of it.

Diseases of human or economical traits of cattles are occured by interaction of genes. We introduce expanded multifactor dimensionality reduction(E-MDR), dummy multifactor dimensionality reduction(D-MDR) and SNPHarvester which are developed to find interaction of genes. We will select interaction of outstanding gene combinations and select final best genotype groups.

To investigate the Akabane antibody in the cattle with the serological test in Chung Chung Buk Do from May to Nov 1191. The result are summarized as follows. 1. Breed in cattle reacted as positive condition in Akabane antibody 76 heads(42%) in 180 cattles reacted as positive condition in Akabane antibody, 23 heads(51%) in 45 Korea native cattle reacted as positive condition in Akabane antibody. 2. During 5, 9, 10, 11 month, Akabane antibody in cattle is over 45%. 3. Less of 2 years old and over 4 years old cattle are Akabane antibody in cattle is over 40%. 4. The relation of titer of 2 folds of dilution HA and 10 folds of dilution TCID$_{50}$ was same relation.n.

This study was performed to investigate the rabies surveillance in Gangwon-do from 1997 to 2001. Of 185 laboratory submissions for rabies diagnosis, 65(35.1%) cases were determined to be infected with the rabies virus. Annual incidence of animal rabies was 10 cases in 1997, 20 cases in 1998, 16 cases in 1999, 3 cases in 2000, and 16 cases in 2001, respectively. The total number of the reported cases were increased 382% compared with that of the previous period from 1993 to 1996(7 cases). The relative contributions of infected animals in this period were as follows: cattles(24 cases), dogs(26 cases), and raccoons(15 cases). Rabies outbreak in raccoon were steadily expanded. Epidemiologic surveillance showed the rabies outbreaks spreaded to the southern area in Gangwon-do. All rabies cases were showed positive results to rabies tests such as clinical signs, histopathological findings, indirect flourescent antibody test, and mouse inoculation test. Further studies such as genetic and phylogenetic analysis of the isolates should be performed in order to figure out accurate rabies outbreak.
