본 연구에서는 동결정액을 활용한 농가에서 사육중인 교잡종 염소의 인공수정 효율을 조사하고자 실시하였다. 교잡종 염소들의 인공수정을 위하여 전기자극을 주어 정액을 채취한 후 동결정액을 조제하고 정자농도, 정자활력, 융해 후 정자의 활력을 조사하였다. 그 결과 교잡종 염소 수컷의 개통별 정액채취량은 2.5~3 ml 내외였고 정액의 농도는 21~25 × 10⁸/ml로 나타났다. 동결된 정액을 융해 하였을 때 정자의 활력도 90% 이상으로 높게 나타났다. 동결정액을 활용하여 교잡종 염소 사육 3 농가에서 인공수정을 실시한 후 임신진단 키트(IDEXX Rapid Visual Pregnancy Test kit)로 임신유무를 조기에 진단한 결과 각 농가별 인공수정 후 수태률은 A농장 45%, B농장 50%, C농장 68%로 조사되었다. 또한 인공수정 후 약 150일 후 출산한 교잡종 염소들의 번식성적을 조사한 결과 C농장이 68%로 분만율이 가장 높게 조사 되었고 A농장이 45%로 가장 낮게 조사되었다. 일반적으로 인공수정 후 수태율과 분만율은 약간의 차이가 나타나는 경향이 있는데 본 실험에서는 인공수정 후 임신을 조기에 진단한 결과와 분만된 개체의 분만율이 동일하게 조사되었다. 본 연구의 결과 동결정액을 활용한 교잡종 염소의 인공수정시 농가별 효율의 차이는 있으나 인공수정 효율이 45~68% 범위로 조사되었다. 본 연구결과는 일반 염소 사육 농가뿐만 아니라 축산연구기관에서 염소의 개량과 번식을 위한 기초 자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

한국재래산양(韓國在來山羊)에 대한 단백질(蛋白質)의 소화(消化), 흡수(吸收) 및 질소대사량(窒素代謝量)과 energy의 발생량(發生量)을 조사(調査)하기 위해서 생후(生後) 10개월령(個月令)인 생체중(生體重) 20kg의 모산양(牡山羊)과 생후(生後) 30개월령(個月令)인 생체중(生體重) 20kg의 빈산양(牝山羊)을 공시동물(供試動物)로 하고, 개방식(開放式) 중량측정(重量測定) 호흡시험장치(呼吸試驗裝置)를 이용(利用)하여, 사료(飼料)의 급여수준(給與水準)에 의(依)한 질소(窒素) 및 energy의 대사량(代謝量)을 측정(測定)한 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 재래산양(在來山羊)에 급여(給與)한 사료(飼料)는 품질(品質)이 중간정도(中間程度)의 orchard grass 건초(乾草)였으며, 1(일)日 평균(平均) 생체중(生體重)에 대(對)하여 0.66~0.92% 섭취(攝取)하였는데, 건초(乾草)의 품질(品質)이 우수(優秀)하여도 그 이상(以上)은 섭취(攝取)하지 못하였으며, 유산양(乳山羊)이나 면양(緬羊)에 비(比)하여 떨어지는데 이는 동물상내(動物箱內)에서 경경(璟境)의 변화(變化)에도 기인(基因)되는 것 같다. 농후사료(濃厚飼料)로 대두박(大豆粕)을 급여(給與)한 구(區)에서는 건초(乾草)를 1.06%, 대두박(大豆粕)을 0.6% 섭취하여 생체중(生體重)의 1.66%를 섭취하였다. 2. 개방식(開放式) 중량측정호흡법(重量測定呼吸法)에 의(依)한 $CO_2$깨스발생량(發生量)을 KOH 용액(溶液)에 흡수(吸收)시켜, 24시간(時間)의 증가량(增加量)을 측정(測定)한 결과(結果)는 99~117g이었으나, 사료섭취량(飼料攝取量)의 증가(增加)에 의(依)하여 $CO_2$gas 발생량(發生量)이 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)은 없으며, 체중(體重)의 증가와 $CO_2$gas 발생량(發生量)은 비례(比例)하였다. 3. Orchard grass만을 급여(給與)하였을때 단백질(蛋白質)의 소화율(消化率)은 24.0~41%였으며, 동건초(同乾草)와 대두박(大豆粕)을 급여(給與)하였을때는 58.2%였는데, orchard grass 건초(乾草)212g과 대두박(大豆粕)150g을 섭취하여 11.538g의 질소를 1일(日) 섭취하여도 질소축적(窒素蓄積)은 0.16g이었다. 이는 조단백질(粗蛋白質)로 환산(換算)하여 1(일)日 77.9g의 섭취가 되며, 생체중(生體重) 20kg내외(內外)의 재래산양(在來山羊)에 필요(必要)한 40~50g보다 많았으나, N.E의 발생량이 537Kcal였으므로, 단백질(蛋白質)이 energy로 분해(分解) 이용(利用)되었다. 4. Energy의 출납(出納)은 생후(生後) 10개월령(個月令)의 생체중(生體重) 20.5kg의 모산양(牡山羊)에게 orchard 건초(乾草) 158g을 급여(給與)한 구(區)에서 G.E로 624Kcal 섭취하였고 D.E 량(量)은 260Kcal, 급열발생량(給熱發生量)은 338Kcal로 78Kcal가 부족(不足)하였다. 또, 생체중(生體重) 20kg의 생후(生後)30개월령(個月令) 모산양(牡山羊)에게 건초(乾草)213g을 급여(給與)아여 G.E로 842Kcal를 섭취하였을때 D.E는 199Kcal였고, 총열발생량(총熱發生量)은 334Kcal로 135Kca1가 부족(不足)하였다. 동모산양(同牡山羊)에게 건초(乾草) 212g과 대두분(大豆粉)150g을 급여(給與)하여 G.E로 1609Kcal를 섭취하였을때 역시 54Kcal가 부족(不足)하였다. 따라서 생체중(生體重) 20kg 내외(內外)의 한국재래산양(韓國在來山羊)은 N.E로 600Kcal 이상(以上)이 요구(要求)되는 것 같다. 5. 기초대사량(基礎代謝量)의 측정결과(測定結果)는 생체중(生體重) 27.7kg의 모산양(牡山羊)을 2~3일(日) 절식(絶食)시켰을때 412Kcal 였으며 3~4일(日)에서는 240Kcal로 저하되었다. 시험기간(試驗期間)의 외기온도(外氣溫度)는 $29{\sim}34.5^{\circ}C$였으며 chamber 내(內) 온도(溫度)가 $32^{\circ}C$이상(以上)일때는 호흡(呼吸)이 panting 상태(狀態)로 되었다. 6. 재래산양(在來山羊)은 사료(飼料)의 단백질(蛋白質) 급여수준(給與水準)에 따라서 혈청내(血淸內) 단백질량(蛋白質量)은 완만하게 감소하였으나 혈청내(血淸內) 요소량(尿素量)은 현저하게 감소되는 것이 인정(認定)되었다.

Ninety pre-puberal (6-7 months) female and 15 pre-puberal male Black Bengal goats were collected on the basis of their phenotypic characteristics from different parts of Bangladesh. Goats were reared under semi-intensive management, in permanent house. The animals were vaccinated against Peste Des Petits Ruminants (PPR), drenched with anthelmentics and deeped in 0.5% Melathion solution. They were allowed to graze 6-7 h along with supplemental concentrate and green forages. Concentrates were supplied either 200-300 g/d (low level feeding) or quantity that supply NRC (1981) recommended nutrient (high level of feeding). Different physiological, productive and reproductive characteristics of the breed were recorded. At noon (temperature=$95^{\circ}F$ and light intensity=60480 LUX) rectal temperature and respiration rate of adult male and female increased from 100.8 to $104.8^{\circ}F$ and 35 to 115 breath/min, indicated a heat stress situation. Young female attain puberty at an average age and weight of 7.2$\pm$0.18 months and 8.89$\pm$0.33 kg respectively. Mean age and weight at 1st kidding were 13.5$\pm$0.49 months and 15.3$\pm$0.44 kg respectively. It required 1.24-1.68 services per conception with an average gestation length of 146 days. At low level of feeding the postpartum estrus interval was 37$\pm$2.6 days, which reduced (p<0.05) with high feeding level to 21$\pm$6.9 days. Kidding interval also reduced (p<0.05) from 192 d at low feeding level to 177 d at high feeding level. On an average there were two kiddings/doe/year. Average litter sizes in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th parity were 1.29, 1.71, 1.87 and 2.17 respectively. Birth weights of male and female kids were 1.24 and 1.20 kg respectively, which increased (p<0.05) with better feeding. Although kid mortality was affected (p<0.05) by dam's weight at kidding, birth weight of kid, milk yield of dam, parity of kidding, season of birth, but pre-netal dam's nutrition found to be the most important factor. Kid mortality reduced from 35% at low level of feeding to 6.5% at high level of feeding of dam during gestation. Apparently, this was due to high (p<0.05) average daily milk yield (334 vs. 556 g/d) and heavier and stronger kid at birth at high feeding level.

Ten male crossbred (Thai $Native{\times}Anglo$ Nubian) goats with average live weight of $27{\pm}2$ kg were randomly assigned according to a $5{\times}5$ replicated Latin square design to receive five diets, $T_1$ = concentrate with 0% cassava chip (CC), $T_2$ = 25% CC, $T_3$ = 50% CC, $T_4$ = 75% CC and $T_5$ = 100% CC. Fresh elephant grass (FEG) was offered ad libitum as the roughage. A metabolism trial lasted for 21 days during which liveweight changes and feed intakes were measured. Based on this experiment, there were no significant differences (p>0.05) among treatment groups regarding DM intake and digestion coefficients of nutrients (DM, OM, NDF and ADF), except for $T_5$ (100% CC) which was lowest (p<0.05) in digestion coefficient of CP than $T_1$ and $T_3$. Rumen parameters (ruminal pH, $NH_3$-N and volatile fatty acids), blood urea nitrogen, blood glucose and packed cell volume were similar among treatments. Moreover, rumen microorganism populations were not affected (p>0.05) by cassava inclusion. The amount of N absorption and retention were similar among treatments, except for $T_5$ which tended to be slightly lower. Based on this experiment, it could be concluded that the optimal level of cassava inclusion to replace corn in goat diets was in the range of 25-75% of CC when fed with FEG and it was a good approach in exploiting the use of local feed resources for goat production.

This study was conducted to evaluate the possibility of application of a microenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(micro-ELISA) for the serodiagnosis of specific toxoplasma antibodies in swine sera and this test was performed as a microplate system by coating the polystyrene plates with toxoplasma soluble antigen, incubated serially diluted sera, then added horse radish peroxidase labelled goat anti-swine IgG(r) conjugate followed by o-phenylenediamine as substrate. The color development by enzyme-substrate reaction was determined by the photometric reading [ELISA reader at 490nm (OD)] and visual reading. The soluble antigen was prepared from the tachyzoites in mouse peritoneal cavity. A total of 1,200 swine sera from pig slaughter-house and a total of 116 swine sera from pig breeding station (S-C farm) were tested for the detection of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The optimal reactions of indirect ELISA for the test sera were determined by the dilution of antigen 1:256 and 1:3,200 of horse radish peroxidase conjugate [anti-swine IgG(r)]. 2. The specific togoplasma antibody(IgG) in pigs infected with Tp artificially were detected as the serum titers of 1:64 or 1:128 at one week postinfection. 3. Of a total of 1,200 swine sera from pig slaughter-house 505 samples of sera were detected as positive (42.1%) and of a total of 116 swine sera from S-C pig breeding station 68 samples of sera as positive (58.6%). 4. The specific antibody(IgG) detection rates against a total of 1,200 test sera from pig slaughter-house were not significant between male (43.1%) and female (40.7%). 5. The indirect ELISA was proved to be a sensitive and specific procedure for the serodiagnosis of swine toxoplasmosis and also evaluated as an effective screening test for the large scale of test samples in laboratory.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of increasing concentrations of crude glycerin (CGLY) in diets on nutrient utilization, ruminal fermentation characteristics, and nitrogen utilization of goats. Four male crossbred (Thai Native${\times}$Anglo Nubian) goats, with an average initial weight of $26{\pm}3.0$ kg, were randomly assigned according to a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design with four 21 days consecutive periods. Treatments diets contained 0%, 5%, 10%, and 20% of dietary DM of CGLY. Based on this experiment, there were no significant differences (p>0.05) among treatment groups regarding DM intake and digestion coefficients of nutrients (DM, OM, CP, EE, NDF, and ADF). Likewise, mean serum glucose, BHBA, and PCV concentrations were not affected (p>0.05) by dietary treatments, whereas serum insulin concentration linearly increased (L, p = 0.002) with increasing the amount of CGLY supplementation. Ruminal pH, $NH_3$-N, and BUN concentration were unchanged by dietary treatments, except for 20% of CGLY, $NH_3$-N, and BUN were lower (p<0.05) than for the diets 10% of CGLY, while the difference between the diets 0%, 5%, and 20% of CGLY were not significant. The amount of N absorption and retention were similar among treatments. Based on this study, CGLY levels up to 20% in total mixed ration could be efficiently utilized for goats and this study elucidates a good approach to exploiting the use of biodiesel production for goat production.

Objective: This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of crude glycerin from waste vegetable oil (CGWVO) on performance, carcass traits, meat quality, and muscle chemical composition. Methods: Twenty-four crossbred (Thai Native${\times}$Anglo Nubian) uncastrated male goats ($16.8{\pm}0.46kg$ body weight [BW]) were assigned to a completely randomized design and subjected to four experimental diets containing 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6% of CGWVO (63.42% of glycerol and 47.78% of crude fat) on a dry matter (DM) basis. The diets were offered ad libitum as total mixed rations twice daily. The feed intake, feeding behavior, growth performance, carcass and meat traits, and muscle chemical composition were evaluated. Results: Based on this experiment, there were significant differences (p>0.05) among groups regarding DM intake, growth performance, and carcass traits where goats receiving 6% of CGWVO had lower daily DM intake, growth performance, and carcass traits than those fed on 0%, 2%, and 4% of CGWVO. There were no effects of CGWVO on carcass length, carcass width, Longissimus muscle (LM) area, Warner-Bratzler shear force, pH and color of LM at 45 min after slaughter, as well as on other carcass cut and muscle chemical composition. Conclusion: In conclusion, the addition of up to 4% of DM in the diets for crossbred finishing goats seems to be the most interesting strategy, since it promotes greatest animal performance. Moreover, this study was a suitable approach to exploit the use of biodiesel production from waste vegetable oil for goat production.

In this study out of 3036 Black Bengal goats examined, 1755(57.80%) were infected with different types of metacestodes. The metacestodes were Cysticercus tenuicollis(54.54%), Coenurus cerebralis(6.32%) and hydatid cysts(11.13%). Animals > 18 months old were relatively more susceptible to Cysticercus tenuicollis and Coenurus cerebralis infection. On the contrary, animals > 8 months to 18 months old were more susceptible to hydatid infection, Both male and female goats were found to be equally infected with the metacestodes. A fully grown Coenurus cerebralis was also recovered from the abdominal muscles of a goat. In Cysticercus tenuicollis infection, pathological effects were not so marked. However, in few cases of Coenurus cerebralis infection the bones of the skull were found to become thin and soft. The hydatid cysts were found to develop in the vital organs by replacing the tissues, thus impairing normal functions.
