본 시험은 우리나라에 도입된 crimson clover를 나주지역에서 재배시 월동성과 수량이 높은 품종을 선발하기 위하여 1999년부터 2000까지 전라남도농업기술원 시험포장에서 수행하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 공시된 4 품종중에서 개화기는 자운영이 가장 말랐으며 Linkarus 품종이 5월 5일로 가장 늦었다. 평균 건물 함량은 24.3%로 높게 나타났다. 조단백질 함량은 평균 14.9%를 나타내었으며 Oregon com.이 18.3%로 높았고 자운영의 경우는 19.3%로 가장 높았다. ADF, NDF 그리고 TDN 함량은 평균 38.1, 48.3 그리고 58.9%이었다. Crimson clover의 생산성은 월동성에 따라 많은 차이를 보였는데 Linkarus 품종의 건물 수량이 6,986\;kg/ha로 가장 높았으며 Tibbee 및 Oregon com. 품종은 각각 3,639 및 1,980 kg/ha를 보여 생산성이 떨어졌다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 가을 파종용 Crimson clover 품종은 Linkarus를 선택하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.

An experiment was carried out to study plasma levels of hormones and metabolites of crossbred Holstein cattle during late pregnancy (28 days pre partum), early lactation (30 days post partum), mid-lactation (120 days post partum) and late lactation (210 days post partum). Two breed types of Holstein $Friesian{\times}Red$ Sindhi (50:50 = 50%HF) and Holstein $Friesian{\times}Red$ Sindhi (87.5:12.5 = 87.5%HF) were divided into four groups of four animals each. Two groups of each breed were fed with either rice straw treated with 5% urea or pangola hay (Digitaria decumbens) as the source of roughage throughout the experiments. There were a substantial increases in the mean levels of total triiodothyronine ($T_3$), insulin and glucagon at the onset of lactation, and maintained in a high levels during lactation advance for all groups of experiments. The mean levels of prolactin and thyroxine ($T_4$) were not significantly different among groups of animals, but the plasma cortisol concentration was slightly higher in both groups of 50%HF in comparison with those of 87.5%HF animals. The mean levels of plasma growth hormone (GH) of both groups of 87.5%HF animals feeding on either hay or urea treated rice straw markedly rose in the early period of lactation and markedly reduced in mid- and late lactation. These changes were accompanied with changes of milk yield. In contrast to 50%HF animals, plasma GH levels were considerably higher in the late pregnant period than in the early period of lactation and it remained constant as its value at the early lactation throughout the experimental period. The high levels of both plasma progesterone and estradiol concentration significantly declined after parturition and remained low through lactating period. The plasma glucose level in the 50%HF animals feeding on either hay or urea treated rice straw was higher than the 87.5%HF animals in all periods of experiments. Changes in plasma FFA levels of both types of crossbred animals were depended on the endocrine status during late pregnancy and lactation. The levels of plasma FFA of 50%HF animals were significantly higher (p<0.05) than those of 87.5%HF animals during late pregnancy. Both plasma ${\beta}$-hydroxybutyrate and lactate concentrations were not affected by feeding on either hay or urea treated rice straw during late pregnancy and lactation. These data demonstrate that there were no differences in the physiological performances in the same crossbred animals fed either hay or urea treated rice straw. The 87.5%HF animal has the genetic potential for a high milk yield and homeorhetic adaptation for mammary function differed from 50%HF animals during periods of lactation. Altering lactation persistency in 87.5%HF is regulated mainly by chronically acting growth hormones through the period of lactation.

Cutaneous evaporative heat loss in Bos indicus and Bos taurus has been well documented. Nonetheless, how crossbreds with different fractional genetic proportions respond to such circumstances is of interest. A study to examine the physiological responses to cutaneous evaporative heat loss, also lactation period and milk yield, were conducted in Sahiwal (Bos indicus, n = 10, $444{\pm}64.8kg$, $9{\pm}2.9years$), Holstein Friesian (Bos taurus, HF100% (n = 10, $488{\pm}97.9kg$, $6{\pm}2.8years$)) and the following crossbreds: HF50% (n = 10, $355{\pm}40.7kg$, $2{\pm}0years$) and HF87.5% (n = 10, $489{\pm}76.8kg$, $7{\pm}1.8years$). They were allocated so as to determine the physiological responses of sweating rate (SR), respiration rate (RR), rectal temperature (RT), and skin temperature (ST) with and without hair from 06:00 h am to 15:00 h pm. And milk yield during 180 days were collected at days from 30 to 180. The ambient temperature-humidity-index (THI) increased from less than 80 in the early morning to more than 90 in the late afternoon. The interaction of THI and breed were highly affected on SR, RR, RT, and ST (p<0.01). The SR was highest in Sahiwal ($595g/m^2/h$) compared to HF100% ($227g/m^2/h$), and their crossbreds both HF50% ($335g/m^2/h$) and HF87.5% ($299g/m^2/h$). On the other hand, RR was higher in HF87.5% (54 bpm) and both HF100% (48 bpm) and HF50% (42 bpm) than Sahiwal (25 bpm) (p<0.01). The RT showed no significant differences as a result of breed (p>0.05) but did change over time. The ST with and without hair were similar, and was higher in HF100% ($37.4^{\circ}C$; $38.0^{\circ}C$) and their crossbred HF50% ($35.5^{\circ}C$; $35.5^{\circ}C$) and HF87.5% ($37.1^{\circ}C$; $37.9^{\circ}C$) than Sahiwal ($34.8^{\circ}C$; $34.8^{\circ}C$) (p<0.01). Moreover, the early lactation were higher at HF100% (25 kg) and 87.5% (25 kg) than HF50% (23 kg) which were higher than Sahiwal (18 kg) while the peak period of lactation was higher at HF100% (35 kg) than crossbreds both HF87.5% and HF50% (32 kg) which was higher than Sahiwal (26 kg) (p<0.05). In conclusion, sweating and respiration were the main vehicle for dissipating excess body heat for Sahiwal, HF and crossbreds, respectively. The THI at 76 to 80 were the critical points where the physiological responses to elevated temperature displayed change.

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.

Sources of energy and rumen undegradable protein (RUP) have been used to meet nutrient requirements for high producing dairy cows. However studies for manipulation the levels of energy and RUP in diets have been mainly achieved using dairy cows at early-lactation period. The objective of this study thus, was to investigate the effects of different energy and rumen undegradable protein (RUP) levels on dry matter intake and milk yield in Holstein cows at mid-lactation period. Basal diet was prepared as TMR to meet nutrient requirements for dairy cows at mid-lactation according to NRC recommendation. Cows of control group (Con) were fed only basal diets while ground corn (0.5 kg/d), heat-treated soybean meal (0.5 kg/d), and their mixture (0.25 kg of each supplements/d) were added to diets for cows of treatment groups (T1, T2, and T3 respectively) to modulate the level of energy and RUP contents in diets. Addition of energy or RUP source in basal TMR did not affect in total DMI while TMR intake tended to be higher in Con compared to T3. Cows fed T3 diets tended to show increased milk yield and MUN content than those of Con. Cows for T2 as well as T3 had lower ADG (P<0.05) compared with those of Con. We concluded that the addition of RUP source in diets for dairy cows on mid-lactation period might cause the decrement of DMI and ADG.

BACKGROUND: Generally, nitrogen (N) fertilization higher than the recommended dose is applied during vegetable cultivation to increase productivity. But higher N fertilization also increases the concentrations of nitrate ions and nitrous oxide in soil. In this experiment, the impact of N fertilization was studied on nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emission to standardize the optimum fertilization level for minimizing $N_2O$ emission as well as increasing crop productivity. Herein, we developed $N_2O$ emission inventory for upland soil region during red pepper and Chinese milk vetch cultivation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Nitrogen fertilizers were applied at different rates to study their effect on $N_2O$ emission during red pepper and Chinese milk vetch cultivation. The gas samples were collected by static closed chamber method and $N_2O$ concentration was measured by gas chromatography. The total $N_2O$ flux was steadily increased due to increasing N fertilization level, though the overall pattern of $N_2O$ emission dynamics was same. Application of N fertilization higher than the recommended dose increased the values of both seasonal $N_2O$ flux (94.5% for Chinese cabbage and 30.7% for red pepper) and $N_2O$ emission per unit crop yield (77.9% for Chinese cabbage and 23.2% for red pepper). Nitrous oxide inventory revealed that the $N_2O$ emission due to unit amount of N application from short-duration vegetable field in fall (autumn) season (6.36 kg/ha) was almost 70% higher than that during summer season. CONCLUSION: Application of excess N-fertilizers increased seasonal $N_2O$ flux especially the $N_2O$ flux per unit yield during both Chinese cabbage and red pepper cultivation. This suggested that the higher N fertilization than the recommended dose actually facilitates $N_2O$ emission than boosting plant productivity. The $N_2O$ inventory for upland farming in temperate region like Korea revealed that $N_2O$ flux due to unit amount of N-fertilizer application for Chinese cabbage in fall (autumn) season was comparatively higher than that of summer vegetables like red pepper. Therefore, the judicious N fertilization following recommended dose is required to suppress $N_2O$ emission with high vegetable productivity in upland soils.

이 연구는 동계 사료맥류를 활용하여 건초대용 양질 헤일리지의 생산 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 맥종별 수확시기, 적정 건조시간 및 헤일리지 품질을 분석하였다. 그 결과 수확시기가 늦어질수록 건물수량과 TDN 수량은 높아지는 경향이었고, 단백질과 NDF, ADF 함량은 낮아지는 경향을 보였다(p<0.05). 헤일리지 조제를 위한 건조시간은 청보리, 귀리, 트리티케일, 총체밀 모두 유숙기에는 수분함량이 높음과 동시에 기상온도도 높지 않으므로 32시간 이상 예건이 필요하고, 황숙기에는 8~24시간 정도 예건이 필요하며, 완숙기에는 예건이 필요 없었다. 호밀은 출수 후 10일에는 32시간 이상, 출수 후 20일, 30일에서는 24시간 이상 예건이 필요하였다. 헤일리지 발효품질에서 pH는 모든 맥종에서 모두 수확시기가 늦어질수록 높아지는 경향을 보였고, 젖산함량은 유숙기에 가장 높은 값을 보였고, 수확시기가 늦어질수록 감소하였다(p<0.05). 초산도 수확시기가 늦어짐에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 낙산은 검출되지 않았다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 사료맥류로 헤일리지 조제 시 단백질함량이나 발효품질 면에서는 수확이 빠를수록 유리하지만 우리나라 기상조건으로 볼 때 예건의 어려움이 있으므로, 호밀은 청예나 사일리지로 이용을 하고 청보리와 귀리, 트리티케일, 총체밀은 황숙기에 수확하여 8~24시간 정도 예건하면 헤일리지로 이용 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 유우 사육 농가에서 배란동기화법(OVSYNCH)의 활용시 수태율에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 유우의 정상 번식우(15/23, 63%)와 번식 장애우(5/10, 50%)의 수태율 비교에서는 정상번식우가 수태율이 높게 나타났지만 유의차는 인정되지 않았다. 그러나 유우 경산우의 산유량에 따른 수태율 비교에서는 1일 산유량이 $30{\sim}35kg$ 이상인 유우군에서 배란동기화 처리시 $20{\sim}25kg$인 유우군에 비해 유의적으로 높은 수태율을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 또한 유우 경산우의 산차수에 따른 수태율 비교에서는 1산차의 시험우군이 3산차군에 비해 유의적으로 높은 수태율을 나타냈지만(p<0.05) 산차수 증가에 따른 수태율은 일정한 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과로부터, 배란동기화 방법을 유우의 다두사육 농가에서 실제로 이용할 경우 우유 생산이 가능한 정상번식우에서 효과적이었으며, 특히 1일 산유량이 많은 유우에서 높은 수태율을 얻을 수 있었다. 한편 앞으로의 연구를 통해 개선된 배란동기화법을 이용한다면 호르몬 불균형으로 초래된 번식 장애우의 번식 능력 회복과 함께 향상된 수태율을 얻을 수 있는 효과적인 방법으로 농가에서도 간편하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 평가된다.

Objective: Portable laser methane detectors (LMDs) may be an economical means of estimating CH₄ emissions from ruminants. We validated an LMD-based approach and then used that approach to evaluate CH₄ emissions from indigenous dairy cows in a dryland area of Ethiopia. Methods: First, we validated our LMD-based approach in Simmental crossbred beef cattle (n = 2) housed in respiration chambers and fed either a high- or low-concentrate diet. From the results of the validation, we constructed an estimation equation to determine CH₄ emissions from LMD CH₄ concentrations. Next, we used our validated LMD approach to examine CH₄ emissions in Fogera dairy cows grazed for 8 h/d (GG, n = 4), fed indoors on natural-grassland hay (CG1, n = 4), or fed indoors on Napier-grass (Pennisetum purpureum) hay (CG2, n = 4). All the cows were supplemented with concentrate feed. Results: The exhaled CH₄ concentrations measured by LMD were linearly correlated with the CH₄ emissions determined by infrared-absorption-based gas analyzer (r² = 0.55). The estimation equation used to determine CH₄ emissions (y, mg/min) from LMD CH₄ concentrations (x, ppm m) was y = 0.4259x+38.61. Daily CH₄ emissions of Fogera cows estimated by using the equation did not differ among the three groups; however, a numerically greater milk yield was obtained from the CG2 cows than from the GG cows, suggesting that Napier-grass hay might be better than natural-grassland hay for indoor feeding. The CG1 cows had higher CH₄ emissions per feed intake than the other groups, without significant increases in milk yield and body-weight gain, suggesting that natural-grassland hay cannot be recommended for indoor-fed cows. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the potential of using LMDs to valuate feeding regimens rapidly and economically for dairy cows in areas under financial constraint, while taking CH₄ emissions into consideration.

동방유량(東邦流糧)에서 공급(供給)받은 저변성(低變成) 탈지대두박(脫脂大豆粕)을 0.02N NaOH액(液)으로 추출(抽出)하여 Soy Protein Isolate (SPI)의 수율(收率)을 증류수나 염용액(鹽溶液)으로 추출(抽出)할때 보다 높이는 과정(過程)(84 % 수율(收率))을 확립(確立)하였으며 제조(製造)된 SPI는 92.1 %의 단백질(蛋白質)을 함유(含有)하였다. SPI를 $70^{\circ}C$에서 moisture heat를 하면 80분간(分間)에 5 %의 변성(變性)이 일어났으나 $95^{\circ}C$에서는 20분(分) 처리(處理)에 의(依)하여 95 %의 변성(變性)이 일어났다. SPI의 alkali 현탄액 (dope solution)은 SPI의 농도(濃度) 15 %, NaOH 농도(濃度) 0.6 %일때 7분(分)만에 60 poises를 나타내고 계속 안정(安定)된 점도(粘度)를 유지하였다. NaOH의 농도(濃度)가 0.9 %일 때는 시간(時間)이 경과(經過)함에 따라 점도(粘度)는 증가(增加)하였다가 감소(減少)하는 경향(傾向)을 보였다. syringe needle (dia. 0.3 mm)로서 모의(模擬) 실험(實驗) 결과(結果) 점도(粘度)가 $28^{\circ}C$에서 60 Poises일때 가장 적합한 단백질섬유(蛋白質纖維)의 texture를 보여주었다. 가열(加熱)에 의(依)한 SPI의 gelation은 8 %이상(以上)의 SPI농도(濃度)일 때 gel이 형성(形成)되기 시작하였으며 $100^{\circ}C$까지 안정(安定)한 gel을 형성(形成)하였고 SPI의 농도(濃度)가 12 %일때 $120^{\circ}C$에서 30분(分) 가열(加熱)에 의(依)하여 20,000 Poises의 좋은 점도(粘度)를 가졌으나 $120^{\circ}C$이상에서는 gel의 continuity가 떨어져 과립상(果粒上)의 gel이 생성(生成)되었다. SPI의 유화력(乳化力)은 pH가 8.7, NaCl의 농도(濃度)가 2 %일때 가장 큰 유화력(乳化力)을 나타냈다. milk casein과 비교(比較) 실험(實驗) 결과(結果) 유화력(乳化力)은 약간 낮았으나 염(鹽)이 존재(存在)하는 경우는 근사한 유화력(乳化力)을 보였다. 그러나 SPI의 foaming capacity는 foaming stability 면(面)에서 egg albumin이나 milk casein과 비교(比較)하여 양호(良好)한 결과(結果)를 보여주었다.
