The beef forequarter muscle comprises approximately 52% of carcass weight. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physiochemical characteristics and meat color from forequarter muscle of Holstein steers. Fifteen forequarter muscles were trimmed of external connective tissue and fat. An experimental group of eight Holstein steers was assessed using meat color, water-holding capacity, drip loss, and Warner-Bratzler shear force value at the same quality grade. The M. omotransversarius (0.45 kg) had the highest (p<0.05) lightness (L*) value, whereas the M. teres major (0.4 kg) and M. triceps brachii (caput laterale) (0.52 kg) had the lowest (p<0.05) values. The M. semispanitus capitus (1.48 kg), which is a neck muscle, had the highest values for both redness (a*) and yellowness (b*), whereas the lowest (p<0.05) values were for the M. teres major. The M. omotransversarius, M. latissimus dorsi (1.68 kg), and M. rhomboideus (1.2 kg) were ranked high (p<0.05) in water-holding capacity. The drip loss value was the highest for the M. longissimus dorsi thoracis (p<0.05; 1.86 kg), while the M. infraspinatus (2.28 kg), M. supraspinatus (1.38 kg), M. brachiocephalicus (1.01 kg), and M. pectoralis superficialis (1.18 kg) had the lowest (p<0.05). The Warner-Bratzler shear force value indicated that the M. pectoralis profundus (3.39 kg), M. omotransversarius, and M. brachiocephalicus were the toughest (p<0.05), whereas the M. subscapularis (0.86 kg), M. longissimus dorsi thoracis, M. teres major, and M. infraspinatus were the most tender cuts (p<0.05). Here, muscle type explained most of the variability in the forequarter physiochemical characteristics. Thus, our findings suggest that these muscle profile data will allow for more informed decisions when selecting individual muscles to produce value-added products from Holstein steers.

본 연구는 거세, 월령별 적정 사료 급여관리 및 아미노산 강화 반추위 보호지방산(ruminally protected amino acid-enriched fatty acid, RPAAFA)의 급여가 당대검정 탈락축의 산육능력 및 육질 향상에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 수행되었다. 당대검정 탈락축은 생후 14개월령에 거세를 실시하였다. 시험구 배치는 거세 한우 16두(15개월령, 평균 체중 $412.9{\pm}24.9kg$)를 12개월 동안 RPAAFA를 급여하지 않는 대조구(control) 및 100g 급여하는 처리구(treatment)의 2처리로 완전임의 배치하였다. 거세한우는 생후 27월령에 도축하였다. 대조구에 비해 처리구의 일당증체량이 높은 경향을 보였으며, 사료요구율은 낮은 경향이었다. RPAAFA의 급여가 배최장근단면적, 등지방두께, 육색, 지방색, 조직감 및 성숙도에 미치는 영향은 없었다. 육량 A등급 및 육질 l등급 이상의 고급육 출현률은 대조구에 비해 처리구에서 높은 경향이었다. 배최장근의 수분, 지방, 단백질 및 회분 함량은 처리간 유사한 수준이었다. RPAAFA의 급여가 배최장근의 보수력, 산화환원전위, 총육색소 및 지방산 함량에 미치는 영향은 없었다. 따라서 거세, 적정 사료급여 관리 및 RPAAFA의 급여는 당대검정 탈락축의 산육능력 및 육질등급 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

The study was designed to evaluate the effect of 2% seamustard (Undaria pinnatifida) by-product (SW) on growth performance, immunity, carcass characteristics, cholesterol content and fatty acid profile in Hanwoo steers. A total of 20 Hanwoo steers (ave. 22 months old; 619 kg body weight) were randomly assigned to control (basal diet) and 2% SW supplemented diet. Dietary SW supplementation significantly (p<0.05) improved average daily gain and gain:feed ratio as well as serum immunoglobulin G concentration. Chemical composition and quality grade of meat and carcass yield grades evaluated at the end of the trial were found to be unaffected by SW supplementation. Dietary SW significantly reduced meat cholesterol concentration (p<0.05). Dietary SW supplementation significantly reduced the myristic acid (C14:0) and palmitoleic acid (C16:ln-7) concentration, while SW increased the concentration of stearic acid (C18:0) and linolenic acid (C18:3n-3) compared to control (p<0.05). Dietary SW supplementation had no effect on saturated fatty acids (SFA), unsaturated fatty acids, poly unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) or mono unsaturated fatty acid content in muscles. A reduced ratio of PUFA/SFA and n-6/n-3 were found in SW supplemented group (p<0.05). In conclusion, 2% SW supplementation was found to improve growth, immunity and fatty acid profile with significantly reduced cholesterol of beef.

Eggs used in this study were obtained from Saudi Arabian Baladi laying hens which were divided into four experimental groups and subjected to the following treatments: Commercial laying ration (17% CP, 3.6% Ca and 0.343%, available P) fed ad libitum as a control (C); Conventional force molting, feed removal for 10 days followed by 18 days full-feed of cracked corn (F); 15 days ad libitum intake of the control ration supplemented, to initiate forced-molt, with 0.35% aluminum as the sulfate (ALS) or the chloride (ALC). The hens were in production for 52 weeks and 17 months of age at the start of the trial and the post-treatment period lasted 36 weeks. During the treatment period F and AL treated groups had similar egg and shell weight, egg surface area, shell thickness and shell weight per unit of surface area but significantly (p<0.05) lower than the control. F had significantly (p<0.05) the highest and the control the lowest Haugh unit values whereas AL fed groups had significantly (p<0.05) lower meat spot incidence compared with the control which tended to have higher value than F group. ALC and F had significantly (p<0.05) the lowest yolk color grade whereas ALC had significantly (p<0.05) lower egg index than ALS and the control. During the post-treatment period the control had significantly (p<0.05) the highest egg index and blood spots incidence and ALS the lowest shell diensity compared with other groups. ALS had significantly (p<0.05) lower shell weight than ALC and the control whereas F and AL treated hens had significantly (p<0.05) the highest Haugh unit values and yolk color grades respectively. F had significantly (p<0.05) lower meat spots incidence than ALC and the control. The same results were observed for ALS compared with the control.

In this study, sixth grade school children in the Guri area were surveyed via questionnaire regarding their sociodemographic characteristics, snacking patterns, and intakes of different food groups and sugared snacks. Students with employed mothers had more frequent snacking events and were more dependent on store-purchased snacks compared to those having an unemployed mother. A high consumption of snack sugar was associated with a higher dietary diversity score. There was a positive relationship between snack sugar intake and the intakes of meat and dairy products and foods in the oil and nut group, respectively. A high snack sugar intake had a negative effect on fruit intake. Specific nutrient intake data will be required before conclusions can be made on whether nutrient imbalances are a concern in elementary school children having sweet snacks. Yet, the current data indicate that an increased snack sugar intake can decrease fruit intake, which could result in certain nutrient deficits. Specific dietary guidance may be necessary to address the snacking habits of elementary school children.

The present study was performed to investigate long-term effects of the low-crude protein and lysine (low CP/lys) diet and a yeast culture supplemented to the low CP/lys diet on growth and carcass characteristics in growing-finishing pigs. Forty-five gilts and 45 barrows weighing approximately 25 kg born to Yorkshire ${\times}$ Landrace dams and Duroc sires were allocated to nine pens, with five gilts and five barrows assigned per pen. Every three pens received CP/lys-rich grower and finisher diets (control), low CP/lys grower and finisher (basal), or the low CP/lys grower and finisher supplemented (2%) with a yeast culture providing $3.2{\times}10^8$ Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells/kg diet (yeast) for 31 and 79 days, respectively. The ADG was less in the low CP/lys (basal + yeast) group than in the control group (P<0.01) during both grower (0.59 vs. 0.70 kg) and finisher (0.75 vs. 0.89 kg) phases. However, marbling score was greater (P<0.05) in the low CP/lys group vs. control (3.86 vs. 3.12) at slaughter, which resulted in a twice percentage of the $1^+$-quality grade carcasses in the former compared with that for the latter. Supplementation of the yeast culture to the basal diet caused a decrease in ADG during the grower phase (P<0.01), but not during the finisher phase (0.64 vs. 0.53 kg and 0.73 vs. 0.77 kg for the basal vs. yeast group during the grower and finisher phases, respectively), without influencing the marbling score or percentage of the $1^+$-quality grade carcasses. In conclusion, results indicate that long-term provision of the low CP/lys diet has a beneficial effect on marbling and carcass quality grade as well as a negative effect on weight gain and that the yeast culture supplemented to the low CP/lys diet has no beneficial effect on weight gain or carcass quality.

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.

성별 한우쇠고기의 품질 특성을 조사하기 위하여 육질등급이 5개로 개전된 후 첫 해인 2005년도에 전국에 출하된 42,113두의 육질등급 요인을 조사하였으며, 2005년부터 2008년도 상반기까지 국립축산과학원에서 도축된 257두의 쇠고기 품질을 분석하였다. 성별 한우의 육질등급요인(근내지방도, 육색, 지방색, 조직감, 성숙도)은 유의적인 차이가 있었으며 한우 거세우가 가장 우수하였다(p<0.05). 근내지방도, 성숙도 및 조직감은 거세우가 각각 5.02, 2.17 및 1.31로 가장 우수하였으며 이에 따라 육질등급 지수도 2.75($1^{++}$ 등급 =1, 3등급= 5)로 가장 높았다(p<0.05). 수분함량은 수소가 73.23%로 가장 높았으며, 조지방 함량은 거세우가 17.27% 가장 높았다(p<0.05). 거세우의 명도($L^*$), 전단력 및 보수력은 각각 39.01, 4.03 kg 및 57.08%로 가장 높았으나(p<0.05), 암소와 수소 간의 차이가 없었다. 전단력에 있어서 암소 및 수소가 각각 7.73 kg 및 8.35 kg으로 비교적 높게 나타난 것은 연도 증진에 관련된 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 관능검사 결과 연도, 다즙성, 향미 및 총 점수에서 거세우가 가장 좋았다(p<0.05). 이와 같은 연구는 시대적으로 변화하는 한우산업의 여건에 따라 단계 별로 수행할 필요가 있으며, 암소의 경우 경산우 비육이 대부분인 우리나라의 실정에 비추어 볼 때 산차별 또는 연령별 품질관련 연구가 더욱 필요하다고 생각된다.

The present study was conducted to examine the effect of a stair-stepped feed intake pattern on growth, feed efficiency, and meat quality of Hanwoo steers. Twenty-seven 11-month-old Hanwoo steers were randomly divided into three groups. The control group was fed according to the Korean steer feeding program, and the other two groups were fed according to an alternated feeding schedule of 3-2-4-2 months. During the first three months of the experiment, treatment group 1 (T1) and treatment group 2 (T2) were fed 20% and 30% less than the control group, respectively. For the following two months, the T1 group was fed 20% more than the control group while the T2 group was fed 20% less than the control group. In the third step, T1 and T2 groups were fed 20% and 10% less, respectively, than the control group for four months. In the last two months, T1 and T2 groups were fed 20% more than the control group. After the stair-step feeding trial, steers were fed concentrated feed ad libitum for five months. The altered feed intake pattern did not affect daily body weight gain. However, daily feed intake tended to decrease and growth efficiency tended to increase in the two treatment groups compared to the control group. Altered feed intake also affected blood metabolite levels. The serum glucose and BUN level of the T1 group increased in the first re-fed period compared to the T2 and control groups. The serum cholesterol level of the T2 group decreased in the first restricted-re-fed growth period compared to the T1 and control groups. The serum NEFA levels of the two treatment groups increased from the first restricted period compared to the controls. The serum insulin level of the T2 group increased in the last period compared to the T1 and control groups. Regarding meat yield index, the control group was significantly higher than the T2 group (p<0.05). Regarding meat yield grade, the carcass back fat thickness of the T2 group was significantly higher than the control group (p<0.05). In marbling score, the T1 group was the highest (4.9), followed by the control group (4.1) and the T2 group (4.0). These results indicate that using a stair-stepped growth pattern (T1) can contribute to improvements in growth efficiency and muscle marbling.

연제품 제조에 이용되는 어육원료는 저가의 연육이 국내에서 일부 생산되고 있으며 대부분은 동남아산 또는 북아메리카산 등의 수입산에 의존하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 연제품용 어육 원료의 안정적인 수급과 고품질 연제품 개발을 위한 방안으로 우리나라에서 주로 양식되고 있는 어종의 고급 연육 및 연제품 소재로서의 가능성을 검토하였다. 양식어종인 광어(Paralichthys olivaceus), 도미(Pagrus major), 조피볼락(Sebastes schlegeli), 숭어(Mugil cephalus), 도다리(Pleuronichthys cornutus)를 원료로 하여 전통 수세법으로 연육을 제조하였다. 연육의 품질과 등급은 수분함량, 백색도, 겔 강도, 불순물의 함량 등에 의해 결정되어진다. 따라서 이들 해수어 유래 연육의 겔 형성능 및 품질은 겔 강도, 텍스쳐 실험, 백색도, 수분유출정도 및 SDS-page pattern 측정을 통해 검토하였다. 또한 이들 결과는 명태연육(FA급과 RA급)의 겔 특성과 비교하였다. 겔 특성을 검토하기 위해 미리 준비한 5 종류의 해수어 유래 연육에 2% NaCl를 첨가하여 소금갈이를 한 후 전체 수분함량이 84%가 되도록 졸 형태로 제조하였다. 졸 형태의 연육을 polyvinylidene chloride 필름에 20-25 cm 길이로 충진한 후 90℃에서 20분간 가열하여 소시지 형태의 어육 겔을 제조하였다. 연육을 이용한 어육 겔의 제조에 의해 연육의 겔 강도와 백도는 증가하였다. 해수어 유래 연육의 겔 특성을 비교한 결과 광어와 도미가 가장 높은 겔 강도와 파단 강도를 나타내었으며, 수분 이수율은 광어에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 전체적으로 해수어 유래 연육은 RA급 명태연육에 비해 높은 겔 형성능을 나타내었으며, 광어와 도미는 FA급 명태연육과 비슷한 정도의 겔 특성을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터 광어와 도미를 이용한 고품질 연제품의 개발 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
