Among the nutrients in feed, amino acids and minerals are important for the growth and development of pets. In particular, interest in nutritional components related to the health of pets is increasing as pet-raising households and pet food markets have recently grown. Therefore, in this study, 55 pet food products distributed in South Korea were purchased, and the content of 3 essential and conditionally essential amino acids (taurine, lysine, arginine) and 4 minerals (Ca, P, Na, K) was investigated. Among the three amino acids, arginine was found to have the highest content, and the average content was 1.79 and 1.37 % in cat and dog foods, respectively. On the other hand, the taurine content was the lowest, but it was found to be higher than the minimum requirement of 0.10 % for cats set by the American Association for Feed Control (AAFCO) and the European Federation of Pet Food Industries (FEDIAF). As a result of the four-component analysis of minerals, the content of Ca was found to be the highest, and the average content was confirmed to be 1.64 and 1.25 % in cat and dog food, respectively. On the other hand, Na was the lowest, but it was higher than the AAFCO minimum requirement and FEDIAF minimum requirement for young cat and dog food. Among all 55 samples examined, the content of the three amino acids and the four inorganic components was confirmed to be suitable for the recommended minimum intake and maximum allowable intake presented by AAFCO and FEDIAF.

Blockchain is a distributed network in a decentralized P2P infrastructure. In this paper, we propose and implement a blockchain-based pet trade service DApp(Decentralized Application). In the existing trading services, there is no way to know the status of dogs in interpersonal transactions and an additional distribution cost has been incurred. As a solution to this problem, we introduce a blockchain technology for a pet trade service where users can check whether an individual pet is healthy or not by its registered biometric data in order to have an efficient and confident trade service. The registered users can purchase puppies or registering information for their dogs to sell through a pet trade service DApp. It is also possible to make a reliable trade by verifying whether the dog is actually the same one through an inscription information of a dog.

This research was conducted to grasp the present condition of environmental management relating to Korea detector dogs that performed their duties such as detection and lifesaving. We directly conducted a survey throughout visit to five government agencies. In environmental management case, average length and width of kennels were 1.78 m and 3.50 m, respectively. Types of floor were searched as coating cement, tile, ucrete and concrete. Most of government agencies ventilated kennels using ventilation fan systems with natural ventilation. But there were differences between government agencies in frequencies of the sanitary management items. On the other side, major diseases of the German shepherd breed as a major detector dog were in order of arthritis, measles, earache, and dermatosis. And their daily training time was average 4 hours. Finally, it is thought that these results could be used as a basic data of standard breeding management manual of Korea detector dog.

반려견이 사회의 일원으로 인식되기 시작하면서 도시의 옥외 공공공간을 함께 이용하는 주체로 부상하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 흐름은 위생, 소음 등의 문제를 발생시키거나 반려인과 비반려인 간 갈등을 야기하는 요인이 되기도 한다. 본 연구는 '반려견', '반려동물', '강아지'와 관련된 공개민원 자료를 텍스트마이닝 기법을 통해 분석하여, 반려견 관련 공간갈등의 원인과 주요 이슈를 밝히기 위해 수행되었다. 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 반려견과 관련된 민원자료 중 대다수는 옥외 공공공간의 이용과 연관이 있었다. 둘째, 주요 옥외 공공공간 유형별로 공간의 이슈가 다르게 발생하고 있다. 셋째, 반려견 관련 민원자료의 주제는 총 4개로, '반려견 놀이터 조성 요구', '동물 관련 안전 문제 제기', '반려견 전용구역 외 시설에 대한 이용 문제 제기', '펫티켓 관련 공원 관리·단속 강화 요청'이다. 본 연구는 동물이 이용할 수 있는 공공공간의 범위가 확대되는 시점에서, 반려견을 둘러싼 시민들의 인식을 분석했다. 특히, 시민들이 문제점과 요구사항을 명확하게 제시하는 민원자료를 분석 대상으로 채택함으로써, 시민들의 의견을 수렴하는 새로운 방식을 적용한 점에서 의의가 있다.

The purpose of this study is to understand the evolution of food culture by applying the evolutionary mechanism to the process of forming the dog meat culture. To do this, this study first examined mutation, selection, and replication as a evolutionary mechanism by biological genes and explain the evolutionary process of food culture by applying so-called 'mime' which is a virally-transmitted cultural symbol or social idea. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. In addition, this study also intended to use in-depth interviews on how people have diverse cultural perspectives interpret and accept edible culture of dog meat. In Korea, which was a traditional farming society, dog meat which is easier to obtain compare to beef has been chosen as an important source of protein. And this choice has been repeatedly reproduced through generations. However, the current generation's awareness of the edible culture of dog meat has changed. The meme of pet culture has been selected and replicated, and this cultural evolution will eventually lead to the culling of dog meat.

The Jindo is a Korean native dog, well-known for its hunting and guarding abilities. When he gives his devotion to one individual, he gives it whole-heartedly. He is not tempted easily and impetuous. The breed was not developed. but the dog retained their original qualities -loyal, alert, fearless, obedient, watchful, intelligent, energetic- to survive in the harsh environment of the Jindo island. The dog had been spread over the entire Korean peninsula from the time unknown, and the ones in the Jindo island, isolated until lately, survived and maintained their original characteristics. They are now spread over the entire Jindo County consisted of many islands, whence the breed name came. The Jindo comes in a variety of colors and color combinations, with the fawn and white colorings predominant. The dog is one of the Korean natural monuments, protected by law since early 1960s. The Jindo gained official approval by the Federation Cynologique Internationale as a hunting dog. Apart from the basic housetraining, the dog rarely gets training. Many people have attempted to preserve its pure bloodlines and original qualities. Today, there are a total of 10,356 Jindoes being raised over the entire Jindo County, and many more are kept elsewhere. A research into genetic characteristics of the Jindo is now going on, using the technique of isozyme electrophoresis. The Jindo Dog Breeding Management Center has been reinforced lately, and in addition to their routines, the Center is to work on the breeding of the Jindo. Efforts should be made in the future to produce stable, trustworthy Jindoes according to their proposed use and to modify their temperament in order to make it more widely acceptable as a pet and companion dog in the strangers home.

Purpose: The dog bite injury is expected to increase as westernizing lifestyle and the number of pet raisers increase. The bite injuries may cause serious sequelae. The purpose of this study is to contributes to establish a suitable management and treatment principle for domestic situation with a clinical analysis data of the dog bite injuries. Methods: We reviewed the hospital records of 76 patients with dog bite injuries who were treated in the emergency unit or out patient department of our hospital from January 2000 to May 2006. Results: The majority of patients were children less than 10 years of age, 21 case(27.6%). Injuries occurred most often in May and 14 patients(18.4%) were bitten by the kinds of Cockerspaniel. By Lackmann's classification, 36 patients(47.4%) had Stage I injuries, 27 patients (35.5%) Stage II, 11 patients(14.5%) Stage III and 2 patients(2.6%) Stage IVa. The most frequent injury site was the head and neck area with 55 cases(72.4%). Also, 58 cases(76.3%) were received the initial treatment within 30 minutes after being bitten and the most of case except emergency operation repaired within 3 days.Conclusion: The dog bite injuries increased by more than 20% every year over the study period and it says that it may continue to increase more in the future. However, There are little report or literature for suitable management and treatment principle for domestic situation. The authors think this clinical analysis data and treatment experience can be useful for establishing a suitable treatment principle for domestic situation.
