In order to understand the effects of sex or age on cellular characteristics of adipocytes from Hanwoo and sheep, samples were obtained from omental, subcutaneous, intermuscular and intramuscular adipose tissue depots of bulls, steers, heifers and cows in Hanwoo, and perirenal, omental and subcutaneous adipose tissues of fetal lambs, suckling lambs and wethers in sheep. In case of Hanwoo, mean diameter, surface area and volume of adipocytes from each depot were obtained by multisizer II (Coulter Co., UK). Osmium-fixed adipocytes were sized and counted using $560{\mu}m$ aperture. For samples obtained from sheep, cellularity was measured by using microscope and MCV program of Texas Instrument. Bulls had less subcutaneous and kidney fat than steers even though their slaughter and carcass weight were heavier. The amounts of fat from cows were greater in subcutaneous, kidney and internal organs than heifers. Steers had larger adipocytes in subcutaneous, intermuscular and intramuscular adipose tissues than bulls, although the differences were significant only for the subcutaneous adipose tissue depots. Adipocytes appeared to be largest in omental and smallest in intramuscular adipose tissue, although there were no significant differences among tissues. In a comparison of heifers and cows, significant site effects (p<0.05) were shown in adipocyte diameter, surface area and volume, and adipocyte appeared to be largest in omental tissue. Statistical difference (p<0.05) was only shown in cell volume of intramuscular tissue which was higher in cow than heifer. Intramuscular adipose tissue tended to have relatively greater numbers of cells per gram tissue and reflect lesser maturity of intramuscular adipose tissue relative to other adipose tissues. In sheep, regardless of adipose tissue depots, wethers had the greater adipocyte diameters than those at any other growth stage of sheep. Within adipose depots, the ranking of cell size was the greatest in the omental tissue of wether and the lowest in the renal and subcutaneous adipose tissue depots of fetal lamb. The cell size of adipocyte became larger with age, especially from fetal to suckling lamb due to a rapid hypertrophy of both perirenal and subcutaneous adipocytes during the suckling period.

The current study was conducted to identify technology for the production of high quality pork, based on the meat consumption habits of consumers. Macsumsuk, a type of kaolinite (a clay mineral), and/or a mixture of herbs (Mori Folium, Sophorae Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix, Citri Leiocarpae Exocarpium, and Pogostemi Herba) were added to the diets of fattening pigs. Sixty barrow pigs (4 kinds of treatment ${\times}5$ pigs/treatment ${\times}3$ replicates) were randomly assigned to either the Control (no additives), T1 (3% Macsumsuk), T2 (3% Herb mixtures), or T3 (3% Macsumsuk + 3% Herb mixtures) groups, and were fed the diets for 60 d. Dressed weights were in the order of T1 ($93.40{\pm}4.68kg$) > T2 ($91.40{\pm}6.52kg$) > Control ($88.80{\pm}1.57kg$) > T3 ($86.80{\pm}2.01kg$). Back-fat thickness of the Control animals ($23.2{\pm}1.03mm$) was significantly greater than that of the various treatment groups (p<0.01). Numeric values representing the carcass yield and quality grade were higher for all the treated groups than the Control group, thought the difference was not statistically significant. Crude fat content was significantly higher in the Control group ($2.23{\pm}0.34%$) than in the treated groups (p<0.05). The addition of both Macsumsuk and herb mixtures into the diets of the pigs significantly reduced cooking loss of the pork compared to the Control (p<0.05). No statistically significant changes were observed in the shear force (average $5.87{\pm}0.54kg/cm^2$), water holding capacity (average $54.59{\pm}3.16%$), or CIE values of the pork, whereas cholesterol levels significantly decreased (p<0.01) in those fed Macsumsuk and/or the herb mixtures. No significant changes in fatty acid composition, total saturated fatty acid (SFA), total unsaturated fatty acid (UFA), or UFA/SFA ratios were observed by any of the treatments. In conclusion, the results obtained from this study suggest that the addition of Macsumsuk and/or herb mixtures into the diets of growing and fattening pigs improves the pork quality by reducing cooking loss, decreasing cholesterol content, and enhancing sensory characteristics.

축산물에 HACCP가 도입된 후 농장, 도축장, 가공장, 판매장 등 많은 업체에서 HACCP를 도입하고 있고 현재도 많은 업체들이 HACCP를 도입하기 위해 준비하고 있지만, 축산물 운반업은 타업종에 비해 HACCP 도입이 활발하게 이루어지지 않고 있다. 무선응용통신(WAP)을 이용한 HACCP 기반의 축산물 유통 실시간 관제 시스템은 GPS와 개인 휴대용 무선기기를 이용하여 축산물 운반차량 또는 보관창고의 위치정보, 온도정보, 그리고 HACCP 운반 관리점검표 등의 정보를 실시간으로 중앙의 관리시스템으로 전송하여 중앙관리자가 실시간으로 운반차량을 관제할 수 있도록 하는 시스템이다. 실시간 HACCP 관리시스템은 운반업이나, 보관업에서 HACCP을 실시하기에 어려운 점들(문서관리, 검증단계)을 시스템화하여 운반업이나 보관업의 특성 상 발생 가능한 물리적/화학적/생물학적 위해 요소를 최소화 하고, 중앙 관리자의 가시권에서 벗어날 수 있다는 단점을 실시간 관제 시스템과 접목된 정보 수신 기능을 통해 중앙 관리 및 감시를 가능하게 하여 위해 요인 제어 및 개선 조치의 기능을 강화할 수 있다. 실시간 HACCP 관리시스템은 운반업이나 보관업의 특성 상HACCP을 실시하기 어려운 유통업체의 실시간으로 HACCP 관리를 실시할 수 있게 해 주며, 특히 규모가 큰 업체의 경우 다량의 차량을 보유하여 이들의 위생상태나 안전관리가 어려운 점을 보완해 줌으로써 안전한 축산물의 유통 증대를 통해 저 품질화 제품의 유통을 감소시켜 경제적 손실을 줄일 수 있으며, 축산물의 선호도가 높아짐으로써 경제적 이익을 창출할 수 있음으로 축산물 유통에 매우 유용하다고 할 수 있다. 우리나라 축산물 운반 단계의 HACCP 적용이 자율 적용이라는 취지를 고려할 때 HACCP 적용 및 운반업의 현대화를 위한 모든 노력은 업체의 의지에 의해 이루어져야 할 것이나, 이를 위한 HACCP 교육의 확대, 시스템 개발에 대한 연구, 실행을 위한 기술적 도움 등 관련 전문가들의 관심과 협조가 동행되어야 할 것으로 여겨지며, 이를 통해 HACCP의 본 취지인 'From Farm To Table'을 실현할 수 있게 될 것이다.

본 연구는 랜드레이스와 제주재래흑돼지 교잡축군에서 MYH3 6-bp 결실 변이 유전자형과 육색 형질간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 돼지의 등심(longissimus dorsi), 상완세갈래근(triceps brachii), 대퇴두갈래근(biceps femoris), 반막모양근(semimembranosus)을 이용하였다. 총 187두의 등심, 상완세갈래근, 대퇴두갈래근, 반막모양근에서 육색 형질인 적색도(CIE a^*), 황색도(CIE b^*), 명도(CIE L^*)를 조사하였다. Mismatch primer 세트를 이용하여 MYH3 6-bp 결실 변이 QQ, Qq, qq의 세가지 유전자형을 확인하였고, 그 빈도는 각각 0.358, 0.551, 0.091를 확인하였다. 적색도, 황색도, 명도와 MYH3 6-bp 결실변이 유전자형간의 상관관계를 확인한 결과 등심(p>0.05, p<0.001, p<0.001), 상완세갈래근(p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001), 대퇴이두근(p<0.01, p<0.001, p<0.001), 반각모양(p>0.05, p<0.001, p<0.001) 부위에서 QQ 유전자형이 qq 유전자형 보다 높은 결과를 확인하였다. 이번 연구에서 랜드레이스와 제주재래흑돼지 교잡축군에서 적색도, 황색도, 명도를 높일 수 있을 것이며, 또한 MYH3 6-bp 유전자 다형성을 이용하여 제주재래흑돼지를 이용한 교배프로그램에서의 육색 형질 향상을 위한 유전적 마커로서 사용되어 돼지고기 육질 향상에 도움될 것으로 사료된다.

가축사체 액상부산물을 이용하여 액비의 최적조건(미생물, pH, 미생물 주입량)을 조사하였고, 이들 최적 조건하에서 112일간 부숙하여 액비의 품질을 평가하였다. 가축사체 액상부산물 액비 부숙시 최적 LP 미생물의 주입량은 0.5 mL/100 mL이었으며, pH는 7 조건에서 각각 50점으로 완숙판정을 받았다. 최적조건하에서 112일 동안 부숙시킨 액비의 부숙도는 부숙 후 28일에 50점을 받아 완숙판정을 받았으며, 부숙기간이 길어짐에 따라 부숙 56일에는 온도가 $60^{\circ}C$를 넘어 최고점인 55점을 받았고, 이후 온도가 조금씩 낮아져 부숙 후 112일에는 실온조건에 이르렀다. 완숙된 가축사체 액상부산물 액비의 품질을 평가해본 결과, 최적조건하에서 부숙시킨 액비의 경우에는 T-N, $P_2O_5$ 및 $K_2O$의 함량이 28일에 가장 높았으며, 시간이 경과함에 따라 약간 감소하는 경향이었다. 또한, 유해성분(As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb 및 Zn)의 함량은 28일, 56일 및 112일 부숙시킨 액비에서 모두 비료공정규격 기준치에 적합하였다. 이상의 결과를 미루어 볼 때 가축사체 액상부산물을 농업적 재활용을 위한 액비화 조건은 pH 7조건에서 LP 미생물을 0.5 mL/100 mL 주입한 경우이다. 하지만 본 연구에서 비교된 가축분뇨 발효액은 공시재료(가축사체)가 상이하여 향후 가축사체를 이용한 액비의 부숙도 기준이 개선되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 국가단위 한우 유전능력평가에 적용하고 있는 유전력이 적절한지를 검토하기 위하여 그간의 검정자료를 활용하여 유전모수를 추정하였으며, 향후 보증씨수소 선발지수의 개선 등을 위하여 다형질 개체모형을 활용하기 위한 기초자료로 다형질 모형을 적용하여 도체형질간 유전상관을 추정하였다. 연구결과 도체형질의 유전모수 추정치는 단형질과 다형질에서 매우 유사한 유전력을 나타냈으며 그간 연구자들이 보고한 유전력 범위 안에 있는 것으로 나타나, 아직까지는 국가단위 한우유전능력평가에 적용하고 있는 유전력을 변경할 필요는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 본 연구에서 추정한 형질 중 근내지방도 형질의 유전력이 그간 추정한 값보다 낮게 추정된 것은 근내지방도판정기준이 변경되어 기존의 1~7등급이 1~9등급체계로 변경한 문제와 8, 9등급을 7등급으로 조정하여 분석한 것에 의한 것일 수도 있을 것으로 보여 근내지방도를 변경 전과 변경 후를 다른 형질로 보아 다형질 분석을 실시하는 등 추가연구가 필요한 것으로 보인다. 한편, 도체중과 배장근단면적 간의 유전상관이 0.63으로 추정되어 현 보증씨수소 선발지수에 포함된 두 형질 중 어느 한 형질은 제거하여도 될 것으로 나타났으며, 현재와 같이 단형질 모형으로 추정한 육종가를 이용하여 선발지수를 구성할 경우 형질간의 유전상관이 고려되지 못하여 선발이 목표와 다르게 이루어질 수 있으므로 다형질 모형을 적용하여 육종가를 추정하고 이를 선발지수에 적용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 당대검정에서 1차 선발한 가축의 자손에 대하여 능력검정을 실시하는 체계에서는 선택된 자료만 활용하게 되므로 유전모수 추정에 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 당대검정과 후대검정자료를 동시에 활용하여 유전모수를 추정하는 등에 대한 추가 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

A feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effect of skip-a-day feeding program in early growing stage of male broiler chicks on the compensatory growth, and development of visceral organs during the later realimentation period. Day-old 328 male broiler chickens( Avian x Avian) were divided into control(ad libitum feeding) and skip-a-day feeding(limited feeding) treatments. Each treatment was consisted of 4 pens( replicates) of 41 birds each. Chickens on the skip-a-day program were fasted every other day during the second wk of age(8~15 d of age). During the starter period(0~4 wk), chickens were fed a commercial crumble diet. A commercial pellet diet was fed to chickens during the finishing period( 5~8 wk). Chickens were group-weighed every week, and one bird was selected from each pen to measure carcass characteristics. The skip-a-day program delayed the growth rate of male broilers up to 4 wk of age(P

This study was conducted to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting growth and body composition in an $F_2$ reference population of Korean native pig and Landrace crossbreds. The three-generation mapping population was generated with 411 progeny from 38 $F_2$ full-sib families, and 133 genetic markers were used to produce a sex-average map of the 18 autosomes. The data set was analyzed using least squares Mendelian and parent-of-origin interval-mapping models. Lack-of-fit tests between the models were used to characterize QTL for mode of expressions. A total of 8 (39) QTL were detected at the 5% genome (chromosome)-wise level for the 17 analyzed traits. Of the 47 QTL detected, 21 QTL were classified as Mendelian expressed, 13 QTL as paternally expressed, 6 QTL as maternally expressed, and 7 QTL as partially expressed. Of the detected QTL at 5% genome-wise level, two QTL had Mendelian mode of inheritance on SSC6 and SSC9 for backfat thickness and bone weight, respectively, two QTL were maternally expressed for leather weight and front leg weight on SSC6 and SSC12, respectively, one QTL was paternally expressed for birth weight on SSC4, and three QTL were partially expressed for hot carcass weight and rear leg weight on SSC6, and bone weight on SSC13. Many of the Mendelian QTL had a dominant (complete or overdominant) mode of gene action, and only a few of the QTL were primarily additive, which reflects that heterosis for growth is appreciable in a cross between Korean native pig and Landrace. Our results indicate that alternate breed alleles of growth and body composition QTL are segregating between the two breeds, which could be utilized for genetic improvement of growth via marker-assisted selection.

The aim of this study was to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the beef cattle adipocyte fatty-acid binding protein 3 and 4 (FABP3 and FABP4) genes are associated with carcass weight (CW) and back fat thickness (BF) of beef cattle. By direct DNA sequencing in 24 unrelated Korean native cattle, we identified 20 SNPs in FABP3 and FABP4. Among them, 10 polymorphic sites were selected for genotyping in our beef cattle. We performed SNP, haplotype and linkage disequilibrium studies on 419 Korean native cattle with the 10 SNPs in the FABP genes. Statistical analysis revealed that 220A>G (I74V) and 348+303T>C polymorphisms in FABP4 showed putative associations with BF traits (P=0.02 and 0.01, respectively). Our findings suggest that the polymorphisms in FABP4 may play a role in determining one of the important genetic factors that influence BF in beef cattle.

The feeding value of high-oil corn fed to Taiwan Country (TC) chicken was examined by measuring apparent metabolizable energy (AME), growth performance, sexual maturity, carcass characteristics, and plasma pigmentation. In a completely randomized design, 870 sex-intermingled one-wk-old chicks were assigned to one of 30 floor pens, 29 birds per pen, and each pen randomly assigned to one of five dietary treatments. The experiment was ended when birds were 16 wk of age. The five dietary treatments varied in main fat sources, which were corn oil (CO), high-oil corn (HOC), lard (LRD), whole soybean (WSB) and yellow corn (YC), respectively. All the diets were formulated isonitrogenously, isocalorically, and of equal lysine and methionine contents except YC, in which equal amounts of YC replaced HOC. The results indicated that feed conversion in HOC was 8% higher (p<0.05) than YC whereas the calculated AME of HOC was only 3.5% to 4.0% higher than that of YC. No significant differences were observed in body weight, body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and ME efficiency for body weight gain among CO, HOC, LRD, and WSB. No significant differences existed in both skin and muscle pigmentation of breast among the five dietary treatments. No significance differences existed in plasma carotenoid content measured at various ages among the five dietary treatments except that birds fed with HOC had less (p<0.05) plasma carotenoids at 16 wk-old. The results indicate that if the price of high-oil corn is no more than 1.05 times that of yellow corn, the dietary cost per kg of body weight gain for TC chickens fed diets containing high-oil corn will be less, although their body weight may be lighter compared to chickens fed diets formulated with other fat sources.
