The objectives of this study were to examine growth performance and meat quality by three different feeding patterns in Korean native cattle (KNC). In each of 3 years, fifteen KNC were randomly assigned in a (3 feeding management)${\times}$(3 sex) factorial design experiment; thus, in total, there were 5 animals in each of the 9 treatments. The three feeding management treatments were longterm (24 month) restriction feeding (LTFR), long-term restriction feeding-hormone implant (LTFR-tH), and short-term (18 month) nonrestriction feeding (STFNR). Three sexes were bull, steer, and heifer. Concentrate diet was fed restriction-feeding method based on body weight in LTFR and LTFR-tH. However, the diet was fed ad libitum in STFNR. Hormonal implantation was made three times with M-$PO^{TM}$ for bulls and with F-$TO^{TM}$ for heifers at 18, 20, 22 month of age in LTFR-tH. Animal were purchased from the local cattle market and managed in two local farms and at the university research unit. Animals were slaughtered at 24 months for long-term trial and at 18 month for short-term trial. The growth rate was the highest in bulls and the lowest in heifers. However, the differences were diminished in F-$TO^{TM}$ implanted heifers. The average daily gain was high in STFNR due to ad libitum feeding. The carcass grade was similar among the treatments on percentage bases. Hormonal implants improved significantly the meat quality grade in all sexes. Castration increased body fat content and improved meat quality grade by intramuscular fat deposition. In conclusion, long-term feeding and hormone treatment increased meat quality grade more than short-term feeding. However, ADG was higher in the short-term trial although feedefficiency was lower.

본 연구에서는 한우 수소에서 유래된 체세포로 핵 이식한 복제 난자의 발달능력을 조사하였다. 종모우의 귀세포를 배양하면서 공여핵으로 사용하였고, 수핵란은 도축장에서 얻은 난소에서 난구-난자 복합체를 채취한 후, TCM 199 배양액에서 20시간 정도 체외 배양하여 사용하였다. 성숙된 난자는 Cytochalasin B가 있는 dPBS에서 핵과 극체를 제거하였고, 이어 이 난자에 귀의 섬유 아세포의 핵을 삽입시키고 전기 자극법에 의해서 음합하였다. 재조합된 난자들은 Ionomycine과 6-dimethylamino-purine으로 활성화 한 후, 7.5일 동안 C $R_{1aa}$ 배양액에 배양하였다 총 524개의 난자가 핵 이식되었고, 응합된 난자중 65.6% (277/422)의 난자가 난할이되었으며, 그 중 30.7% (85/277)의 난자가 상실배에서 배반포까지 발달하였다. 계대배양에 따른 제조합된 난자의 체외 발달능력은 차이가 없었다. 공여 세포에 의한 외래 미토콘드리아의 분포 및 생존 여부를 조사하기 위하여 Mito Tracker로 공여 세포의 미토콘드리아를 염색하여 핵이 제거된 난자와 융합하였다. 외래 미토콘드리아는 초기 배아 발달 단계에서는 발견이 되었지만, 급격히 사라졌다. Mito Tracker 염색은 재조합된 난자의 발달율에는 지장을 주지는 않았다. 이러한 연구 결과는 한우 수소의 체세포를 이용한 핵 이식에 의해 이식 가능한 난자를 생산 할 수 있음을 보여 주는 것이다.다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify a distribution pattern of meat quality grade (MQG) as a function of carcass yield index (CYI) and the gender of Hanwoo (bull, cow, and steer) to determine the optimum point between both yield and quality. We also attempted to identify how pre- and post-deboning variables affect the gender-specific beef quality of Hanwoo. Methods: A total of 31 deboning variables, consisting of 7 pre-deboning and 24 post-deboning variables from bulls (n = 139), cows (n = 69), and steers (n = 153), were obtained from the National Institute of Animal Science (NIAS) in South Korea. The database was reconstructed to be suitable for a statistical significance test between the CYI and the MQG as well as classification of meat quality. Discriminant function analysis was used for classifying MQG using the deboning parameters of Hanwoo by gender. Results: The means of CYI according to 1+, 1, 2, and 3 of MQG were 68.64±2.02, 68.85±1.94, 68.62±5.88, and 70.99±3.32, respectively. High carcass yield correlated with low-quality grade, while high-quality meat most frequently was obtained from steers. The classification ability of pre-deboning parameters was higher than that of post-deboning parameters. Moisture and the shear force were the common significant parameters in all discriminant functions having a classification accuracy of 80.6%, 71%, and 56.9% for the bull, cow, and steer, respectively. Conclusion: This study provides basic information for predicting the meat quality by gender using pre-deboning variables consistent with the actual grading index.

Recent favor on high quality food and concern on food safety have demonstrated the superiority of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle). In general, the price of cow is higher than those of steer and bull, causing cheating issues in the market. Hence, this study is to discriminate genders of Hanwoo with identification of factors which highly influence gender discrimination based on the big-size deboning data. Totally, there were 31 variables in the deboning data, and we divided into them two categories: data obtained before and after deboning. Discriminant function analysis was then applied into the data to determined the accuracy of gender discrimination in Hanwoo. The result showed that Hanwoo could be classified by gender with 99.2% of accuracy when using all 31 variables. In detail, it was possible to identify 93 of 94 bulls (98.9%), 96 of 96 cows (100%) and 74 of 75 steers (98.7%). The most significant variables was chuck, sirloin, armbone shin, plates, retail and cuts percentage, sequentially. With variables obtainable before deboning, accuracies of classification were 91.5% for bulls, 92.7% for cows, and 89.3% for steers. The most significant variables was water, cold carcass weight and back-fat thickness. The discrimination accuracy was higher with data obtainable after deboning: bulls (98.9%), cows (99.0%) and steers (98.7%). In this case, chuck, sirloin and armbone shin were the factors determined the classification ability. This study showed that Hanwoo can be classified based on deboning data with appropriate statistics, further suggesting weight of cut of beef might be the standard for gender classification.

We determined the effects of follicular fluid fractions in the maturation medium on bovine oocyte maturation, fertilization and subsequent development, as well as on number of cells in blastocysts following culture. Follicular fluid and oocytes from bovine follicles less than 5 mm in diameter were collected from the ovaries of slaughtered cows. Follicular fluid was separated into different molecular weight fractions by untrafiltration through a membrane using a centrifuge at 500$\times$g, for 2h. For the maturation medium, follicular fluid fractions (30%, v/v), whole fluid (30%) or PVP(3mg/ml) were added to TCM 199(0.1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml estradiol-17$\beta$, 100IU hCG). After maturation for 24h, oocytes were fertilized in vitro with bull frozen-thawed spermatozoa and cultured on a monolayer of granulosa cells for 9 days after fertilization. There were no differences in maturation rates or fertilization rates among any maturation conditions. The rates of development to >2-cell stage of the oocytes were significantly decreased when fraction of follicular fluid below 10,000 MW were added into maturation medium, compared with control and fraction above 10,000 MW(26.0% vs 40.8% to 64.0%, respectveily. p<0.01). Likewise, the rates of development to blastocysts of fertilized oocytes were significantly decreased in maturation medium containing fraction of follicular fluid (<10,000 MW). The average cell number of blastocysts derived from oocytes that matured in the fraction(>10,000 MW) of follicular fluid was 154.7$\pm$13.7. These embryos contained more cells than those matured in whole follicular fluid, or the fraction(<10, 000 MW) of follicular fluid or control(107.0$\pm$8.4, 91.8$\pm$11.8 and 95.8$\pm$6.2, respectively). In conclusion, we found that fractions of follicular fluid contained factors stimulating or inhibiting oocyte cytoplasmic matruation. These suggest that a factor(s) inducing cytoplasmic maturation of oocytes may exist in >10,000 MW fraction of follicular fluid.

A total 2,488 ejaculates during 4 years from 80 Korean native bulls over the age from 3 to 12 years of bull herds of Artificial Breeding Center, National Livestock Federatives Cooperation were collected and analyzed to study the effects of collection year, age of bulls, month of years, collection interval and ejaculation frequency per day on semen volume, sperm concentration, total sperm per ejaculate and sperm motility. 1. Semen volume, sperm concentration, total sperm per ejaculate and sperm motility index for the all ejaculates using least squares procedure averaged 5.73ml, 9.133${\times}$108/ml, 52.527${\times}$108 and 62.81, respectively. 2. Semen volume varied significantly with collection year, collection interval and ejaculation frequency per day(P<0.01), but effects of age of bulls and month of years on semen volume were not significant. Eight to 15 days collection interval showed the highest volume, and 1st ejaculate contained 5.6% more volume than 2nd ejaculate. 3. There were significant differences among collection years, months of years and ejeculation frequencies per day except collection intervals in sperm concentration per ml(P<0.05, P<0.01). Six to 8-year-old bulls was the highest concentration. Higher sperm concentration per ml was in April to July and lower month was October and December. Sperm concentration in 2nd ejaculate was higher than in 1st ejaculate. 4. Total sperm per ejaculate affected by all environmental factors studied(P<0.05, P<0.01). Age of bulls, collection interval and ejaculation frequency per day showed the highest total sperm was 6 to 8-year-old bulls, 8 to 15 days interval and 1st ejaculate, respectively. Higher total sperm per ejaculate was in April to July and lower total sperm was in September to December. 5. In sperm motility, there were significant differences among collection years, ages of bulls and collection intervals except months of years and ejaculation frequencies (P<0.01). Higher sperm motility was in 6 to 12-year-old bulls and in 5 to 7 days collection interval.

Twenty Korean native bulls averaging 181 kg body weight were fed a fixed amount (1.5% of live weight) of concentrate and free choice roughage cubes which had four ratios of rice straw and orchard grass hay; 100:0, 85:15, 70:30 and 55:45 on a weight basis. Five bulls were assigned to each treatment and fed for 98 days in a confinement house. Nutrient digestibility and available energy content of mixed rations (40% concentrate and 60% roughage cubes) was determined in a digestion trial with twelve wethers. In vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and in situ dry matter disappearance of the roughage cubes were also determined. The ratio of grass hay to rice straw did not influence dry matter intake. Significant improvements in body weight gains and feed/gain ratios were obtained as grass hay levels increased. Average daily gain and feed/gain for each treatment was 0.83, 0.88, 0.98 and 0.99 kg; 7.63m 7.59, 6.83 and 6.41, respectively. Digestibility of the nutrients was improved with increasing levels of grass hay in the cubes. The IVDMD of roughage samples having a ritio of 100:0, 85:15, 70:30 and 55:45 between rice straw and orchard grass hay were 31.0, 37.1, 41.8 and 43.4%, respectively. Grass hay improved the IVDMD of rice straw diets in a linear manner up to 30%. In situ dry matter disappearance rate was also increased as the level of orchard grass hay increased.

Bacillus pasteurii의 urease gene이 Escherichia coli HB101에서 발현된 Bacillus성 recombinant urease를 단일단백질으로 정제하고 그 효소학적 특성을, 별도로 정제한 B.pasteurii urease의 그것과 비교검토하였다. B.pasteurii urease gene이 cloning 된 E.coli HB101(pBU11)의 균체파쇄액으로 부터 TEAE-cellulose, DEAE-Sephadex A-50, Sephadex G-150, sephadex G-200 등의 이온교환 크로마토그래피와 gel filtration을 이용하여 E.coli내에서 발현된 B. pasteurii성제하였으며, 또한 B.pasteurii로부타 비활성도 185.2배의 urease를 정제하여 disc gel electrophoresis로 단일 단백으로 정제되었음을 확인하였다. 정제된 두 urease 들의 native 상태의 분자량은 공히 280,000$pm$10,000 정도로 확인되었고, SDS-electrophoresis에의 해 subunit 유무와 분자량을 확인한 결과도 67,000정도의 subunit 4개와 20,000의 subunit 1개로 된 $\alpha$$\beta$ 구조의 동일한 효소단백으로 추정할 수 있었다. Gene donor인 B. pasteurii와 cloning 된 균주 E. coli(pBU11)이 생산한 두 urease의 효소학적 특성을 비교 조사해본 결과 두 urease의 최적반응 pH는 공히 7.5로 나타났으며, pH에 대한 안정성도 두 ureaserk 공히 pH 5.5에서 10.5 사이에서 50% 이하로 활성이 떨어지지 않는 강한 pH 안정성을 보였다. 두 urese의 최적반응의 온도는 $60^{\circ}C$였으며, 비교적 온도에 대한 저항이 강한 효소임을 알았다. 두 urease의 활성에 미치는 금속이온의 영향은 $Ag^{2+}$, $Hg^{2+}$ 등에서 양효소가 모두 강한 저해현상을 받는 반면, $Mn^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ 에서는 다소 촉진되는 현상을 보였다. 효소반응 저해제들의 영향을 조사해 본 결과 p-CMB, acetohydroxamic acid에 두 urease가 모두 강한 저해를 받았다. 두 urease의 $K_m$ 값과 $V_{max}$ 값은 E. coli(pBU11)의 urease는 $4.21{\times}10^{-2}mol/\ell$, $86.96\ell$mol/min 이었고, B. pasteurii urease는 $4.04{\times}10^{-2}mol/\ell$, $160\ell$mol/min이었다. 따라서 B. pasteurii의 urease나 그 urease gene으로 cloning되어 E. coliso에서 발현된 recombinant urease는 분자량이나 효소학적 특서에서 거의 동일한 효소단백임을 알 수 있었다.
