Nineteen tanniferous browse plants were collected from South Africa to investigate their digestibility, gas production (GP) characteristics and methane production. Fresh samples were collected, dried in forced oven, and ground and analyzed for nutrient composition. In vitro GP and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) were determined using rumen fluid collected, strained and anaerobically prepared. A semi-automated system was used to measure GP by incubating the sample in a shaking incubator at $39^{\circ}C$. There was significant (p<0.05) variation in chemical composition of studied browses. Crude protein (CP) content of the species ranged from 86.9 to 305.0 g/kg dry matter (DM). The neutral detergent fiber (NDF) ranged from 292.8 to 517.5 g/kg DM while acid detergent fiber (ADF) ranged from 273.3 to 495.1 g/kg DM. The ash, ether extract, non-fibrous carbohydrate, neutral detergent insoluble nitrogen, and acid detergent insoluble nitrogen and CP were negatively correlated with methane production. Methane production was positively correlated with NDF, ADF, cellulose and hemi-cellulose. Tannin decreased GP, IVOMD, total volatile fatty acid and methane production. The observed low methanogenic potential and substantial ammonia generation of some of the browses might be potentially useful as rumen manipulating agents. However, a systematic evaluation is needed to determine optimum levels of supplementation in a mixed diet in order to attain a maximal depressing effect on enteric $CH_4$ production with a minimal detrimental effect on rumen fermentation of poor quality roughage based diet.

South Dakota is an important agricultural state in the United States with annual cash receipts from agricultural products exceeding $9 billion dollars. This production is possible because of large areas of productive soils. This publication describes the general characteristics and qualities of the major soil groups recognized in South Dakota. The soil forming factors are briefly described, soil classification is introduced, and the genesis of typical Udalf and Ustoll soils are discussed. Soil management issues impacting the use of SD soils are considered. Long-term (>70 yrs) cultivation has significantly reduced surface soil organic carbon levels (>30% reduction) when compared to non-cultivated soil. Soil test phosphorus levels significantly increased in cultivated fields due to commercial P fertilization. The major long-term production problems for SD soils are conservation of soil moisture, organic matter and nitrogen losses, fertility management, and wind and water erosion control.

본 연구는 극지 식물플랑크톤의 자외선 영향을 파악하기 위해, Phaeocystis antarctica와 Phaeocystis pouchetii를 대상으로 유색 용존 유기물의 생산과 광반응성을 평가하였다. 강한 자외선에 노출 배양 시, 가시광선 파장대에서 유색 용존 유기물의 흡광도는 두 식물플랑크톤 모두 배양 초기에 비해 48시간 동안 감소하였다. 반면, 자외선 파장에서는 P. antarctica는 48시간 배양 후, 유색 용존 유기물의 흡광도는 초기 농도에 비해 약 30% 감소하였지만, P. pouchetii의 흡광도는 오히려 10% 증가한 경향을 보였다. 이 결과들은 강한 자외선에 노출될 경우, P. antarctica이 생산한 유색 용존 유기물은 광분해에 의한 감소로 인해 해수 중 수중 생태계에 자외선 차단 효과는 감소하는 반면, P. pouchetii가 생산한 유색 용존 유기물에 의한 광보호 효과가 더 효율적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 자외선 영향 하에서 배양된 P. pouchetii의 배양액에서 시간에 따라 증가한 유색 용존 유기물의 형광 특성이 지구 거대물질로 알려진 humic-like (C-peak)와 일치하여, 이는 자외선 차단 물질로 알려진 MAAs 생물 생산에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. 이는 기후변화에 의한 성층화가 강화되는 극지 해양환경에서, 광반응성이 낮은 P. pouchetti가 용존 유기물의 증가에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This trial was carried out to determine effects of organic feeds in comparison to conventional diet on feed intake, digestibility, and nitrogen retention in Korean native goats. Twelve Korean native goats were allotted to treatments in four groups of three goats and then they were housed in separate metabolism cages for 21 days. Treatments included conventional diet (A) as a control group and three organic feed groups (B: organic rice straw, C: organic nee leaves, D: organic mixture of rice straw and tree leaves). The A treatment, conventional diet, consisted of common rice straw and commercial concentrates at a proportion of 60 and 40%, respectively. All ingredients of organic feeds treatments were organically produced-agricultural products without any application of chemical fertilizer and pesticide. Four experimental diets were formulated to have the same ratio of forage to concentrate and similar contents for protein and carbohydrate across treatments and they were offered to goats ad libitum. Feed intake, apparent nutrient digestibility and nitrogen retention were investigated. For chemical compositions of experimental diets, all nutrients except crude ash and ether extract were not significantly different across treatments as we expected. Crude ash content was highest in the A treatment (P<0.05), however, it was not significantly different among organic feeds treatments. Ether extract content was higher (P<0.05) in C and D treatments than in A and B. Even if dry matter intakes for organic feeds treatments were not significantly different among them, they were significantly higher (P<0.05) compared with conventional diet. Fecal excreta were not significantly different across treatments, resulting in significantly higher digestible dry matter (g/day) in treatments of organic feeds (P<0.01). Average daily gain (ADG) and feed efficiency (FE) were more increased (P<0.01) in treatments of organic feeds compared with conventional diet. Digestibilities for most of nutrients except NFC had the same trend as ADG and FE, however, NFC digestibilities for C and D treatments were significantly lower (P<0.01) than those of A and B. Nitrogen intakes for organic feeds treatments were significantly higher (P<0.001) than conventional diet, with no difference among organic feeds treatments. Fecal nitrogen loss was higher (P<0.05) for C and D treatments than for A and B. Retained nitrogen contents were significantly higher (P<0.05) for organic feeds treatments than for conventional diet, but nitrogen retention rate did not show any difference across treatments. The results showed that organic feed supplementation more improved feed intake, digestibility and nitrogen retention in comparison with conventional diet, and thus they could be concluded that organic feeds might contribute to animal performance and a safer production of animal product.

Two experiments were conducted in central Vietnam to test the hypothesis that supplementation with a concentrate, comprising rice bran (45% fresh basis), maize (49%), fish meal (3%), urea (2%) and salt (1%), up to 2% of live weight (LW)/d (dry matter (DM) basis) would linearly increase digestible organic matter intake and LW gain of yellow cattle. In both experiments, there were five treatments, namely a basal diet of fresh grass fed at 1.25% of LW (experiment 1, elephant grass, Pennisetum purpureum; experiment 2, native grass) and rice straw (Oryza sativa) fed ad libitum or this diet supplemented with concentrate at about 0.3, 0.7, 1.3 or 2.0% LW. There were 4 male growing cattle per treatment in experiment 1 and 3 in experiment 2. Diets were fed for 44 (experiment 1) or 49 (experiment 2) days, with feed intake recorded daily, LW measured about weekly and digestibility measurements made over 7 days commencing on day 24 (experiment 1) or day 10 (experiment 2). The elephant grass and native grass had neutral detergent fibre (NDF) concentrations of 82 and 73% DM, and nitrogen concentrations of 1.3 and 1.8% DM, respectively. The rice straw used had a NDF concentration of 79-84% DM and nitrogen concentration of 0.8% DM. The concentrate had NDF and nitrogen concentrations of 33 and 2.8% DM. In both experiments, DM intake increased (p<0.001) linearly as the amount of concentrate consumed increased. Rice straw intake declined (p<0.001) (experiment 1: 1.24 to 0.48 kg DM/d; experiment 2: 0.95 to 0.50 kg DM/d) as concentrate intake increased. Grass intake was not significantly affected by concentrate intake in either experiment. The lowest amount of concentrate supplement increased forage intake, after which substitution rate increased as the amount of concentrate consumed increased. However, substitution rates at the highest amount of concentrate consumed were modest at 0.3 to 0.5 kg DM reduction in forage intake/kg DM supplement consumed. In both experiments, digestible organic matter intake increased linearly (p<0.001) (experiment 1: 1.16 to 2.38 kg/d; experiment 2: 1.30 to 2.49 kg/d) as the amount of supplement consumed increased, as did LW gain (experiment 1: 0.15 to 0.81 kg/d; experiment 2: 0.15 to 0.77 kg/d). This was associated with significant (p<0.01) linear increases in organic matter intake and apparent organic matter digestibility. Neutral detergent fibre digestibility declined as concentrate intake increased, but the effect was not significant (p = 0.051) in experiment 2. These results are discussed in relation to existing literature and potential to improve the profitability of cattle fattening in central Vietnam.

Soil conservation management is necessary for sustainable agriculture, in highland areas, and cover crops are one of the best soil conservation methods for slopes. In this study, we evaluated the effects of alfalfa cultivation on maize production, as well as soil conservation and quality. There was an outstanding soil conservation effect with alfalfa cultivation in the fallow and maize growing seasons. In particular, alfalfa cultivation reduced soil loss by up to 98% compared with bare field. It also increased the activities of soil microorganisms and the supply of organic matter. Maize production with alfalfa cultivation showed no significant differences in yield. In conclusion, alfalfa is an advantageous perennial cover crop in highland agricultural slope areas, which can have positive effects on soil quality and conservation, as well as maize production.

국내에서 자생하고 있는 해조류를 첨가하여 in vitro 반추위 발효성상 및 메탄 발생량 분석을 실시하였다. 해조류 처리구에서 in vitro 배양 24시간대 총 가스 및 메탄 발생량 결과는 전 처리구에서 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 배양 48시간대 메탄 발생량 결과에서는 누른 끈적이와 청각 처리구에서 유의적으로(p<0.05) 낮았다. 해조류 처리구의 반추위 pH는 5.75~6.12로 대조구 대비 유의적으로(p<0.05) 낮았다. Total VFA 농도는 배양 24시간대에서 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 청각 처리구에서 배양 48시간대 대조구 대비 유의적으로(p<0.05) 높았다. NH3-N 농도는 톳 처리구에서 배양 24시간과 48시간대 모두 대조구 대비 유의적으로 (p<0.05) 낮았다. 건물 소화율은 배양 24시간과 48시간대 모두 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않 아 해조류가 반추위 건물 소화율에 부정적인 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이를 통해 청각이 반추위 발효성상 및 소화율에 부정적인 영향을 미치지 않으면서 메탄 발생량을 감소시키는 효과를 보여, 추후 메탄 저감 소재로서 평가를 위해 가축 급여 실험을 통한 검증이 필요하다.

본 연구는 돈분 슬러리 단독 및 돈분과 우분슬러리 혼합, 가축분뇨 슬러리와 과실착즙박(사과착즙박, 감귤착즙박) 혼합 혐기처리가 바이오가스 발생에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 가동하였다. 6개의 중온소화 반응조를 96일간 가동하였으며, 유기물 부하량은 $1.0kg-VS/m^3{\cdot}day$ 으로 하였다. 과실착즙박이 혼합된 처리구인 돈분 슬러리와 감귤착즙박 혼합 처리구(70 : 30)가 가장 높은 메탄 생산량을 나타내었다. 반면, 돈분슬러리 단독 처리구의 메탄 발생량은 가장 적었다. 돈분, 우분 슬러리와 감귤착즙박 혼합 처리구가 돈분 슬러리 단독 처리구보다 바이오가스와 메탄가스가 2배 이상 많이 발생되었다. 돈분 슬러리와 감귤착즙박 혼합 처리구가 메탄가스 발생량이 많았던 것은 과일착즙 후 발생하는 과일박이 낮은 pH를 나타내어 가축분뇨 내 높은 알칼리도와 적절히 중화될 수 있으며, VS가 돈분슬러리보다 높았기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 결론적으로 가축분뇨와 과실착즙박 혼합 투입이 돈분 단독 소화 보다 메탄가스 생산을 높이는 장점이 있다.

오레곤 대륙 주변부 남부 하이드레이트 릿지에서 실시한 ODP Leg 204에서 회수한 코어 Site 1249C와 Site 1251B의 유기물 기원 및 유기지화학적 특성을 규명하기 위하여 원소분석과 Rock-Eval 열분석 및 동위원소 비 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 Site 1249C와 Site 1251B의 유기물은 해양기원 유기물이 우세하며 이러한 결과는 퇴적물의 퇴적당시 환경이 일반적인 해양 환경이었음을 시사한다. 그러나 Rock-Eval 열분석 결과는 다른 분석결과와 반대의 결과를 나타내는데 이러한 결과는 열적으로 미성숙한 유기물이 열분석 과정에서 유기물의 특성이 제대로 반영되지 못하기 때문이다. 따라서 열분석 결과 해석은 다양한 지화학적 결과를 종합하여 해석할 필요가 있다. 코어의 유기물 기원이 동일함에도 불구하고 Site 1249C는 전 구간에서 가스 하이드레이트의 집적이 높은 반면, Site 1251B는 가스 하이드레이트가 일부 구간에서만 소량 발견되었다. 이러한 결과는 하이드레이트 정상부에 위치한 Site 1249C는 가스 하이드레이트 생성에 필요한 심부 열기원 가스가 천부 퇴적물로 이동할 수 있는 이동 통로(Horizon A, BSR2)가 존재하는 것을 시사한다. 그러나 가스 하이드레이트 집적이 미비한 분지 지역의 Site 1251B는 열기원 가스가 심부로부터 이동할 수 있는 가스 이동 통로가 제한적이고 그에 따른 가스 공급이 원활하게 이루어지지 않기 때문에 현장 퇴적물의 속성작용에 의한 생물기원 가스가 우세하여 가스 하이드레이트 생성이 제한적인 것으로 추정된다.
