Nutritional evaluation of the proposed supplementary foods (high nutrition-low cost foods) for children were conducted for the ‘Wonseong County Comprehensive Nutrition Program’ in Korea. Proximate composition, mineral, vitamin and amino acid composition were determined and also protein efficiency ratio(PER) was evaluated for the propsed formulas which were recommended as CSS (corn-soybean-sesame blend)-3, CSS-4 and BSS (barley-soybean-sesame blend)-4 in previous study. Protein and caloric contents of the formulas were around 18% and 400 Kcal/100 g respectively, and they have reasonable contents of mineral and vitamin. Amino acid score (83-89) and PER (2.33-2.36) of the proposed formulas were considered to be in adequate range of protein quality for feeding the target group in Wonseong County area.

To reduce anti-nutritional factors in plant protein sources for fish meal replacement in fish feeds, cottonseed and soybean meal (CS) were fermented with Aspergillus oryzae. A feeding trial was conducted to verify the effects of fermented CS (FCS) with phytase supplementation on gossypol detoxification, phosphorus digestibility, antioxidant activity, and growth performance of juvenile olive flounder over 10 weeks. Four diets were formulated to replace 0, 30, or 40% fish meal protein with CS or FCS (designated as CS0, CS30, FCS30P, and FCS40P). Phytase (1,000 FTU/kg) was added to FCS30P and FCS40P. The microbial fermentation significantly increased dietary total polyphenols and consequently led to higher DPPH radical-scavenging activities in fish feed and fish tissue. Dietary and liver gossypol concentrations were dramatically decreased by the fermentation process. Phosphorus digestibility was significantly increased in fish fed the FCS40P diet. However, growth performance decreased in fish fed FCS diets. This study demonstrates that the fermentation process and phytase supplementation can improve the phosphorus availability of plant protein sources in fish. The fermentation of CS by A. oryzae could increase antioxidant activities in feed and fish and effectively degrade toxic gossypol in cottonseed meal.

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of partial replacement of fishmeal (FM) protein in a practical diet for rockfish Sebastes schlegeli juveniles with mealworm Tenebrio molitor meal (WM), in terms of growth performance, feed utilization, whole body composition and hematological parameters. Four isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were formulated to contain 8, 16, 24 and 32% WM (designated as WM8, WM16, WM24 and WM32). A FM-based diet without WM inclusion was used as a control. Triplicate groups of rockfish ($2.6{\pm}0.07g$) were hand fed one of the experimental diets to visual satiation twice a day for 8 weeks. Weight gain of fish fed the WM32 diet was lower than that of control. No significant differences were found in daily feed intake, feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio. The whole-body protein content of fish fed WM0 and WM8 diets were significantly higher than that of fish fed WM32 diet. No statistical differences were observed in hematological parameters. These results indicate that WM has potential as alternative to FM in practical diets for juvenile rockfish and can be used at an inclusion level of up to 24% without having a significant negative effects on growth and feed efficiency.

A study was carried out to evaluate the values of roughages available in Korea on feed intake and digestibility of Korean native goats and consequently to apply its results to the feeding system of Korean goats as a basic information. The results are as follows. 1. The protein contents in Alfalfa and Acacia leaf were 17.6 and 16.3% respectively 11.7 and 6.8% higher than orchardgrass and pine needle. Ether extract tom pine needle was about two times higher than other roughage sources which are 9.2%. 2. Dry matter intake per day in goats fed alfalfa, acacia leaf and orchardgrass was higher (P < 0.05) at 590.3, 543.8 and 496.58 respectively and 217.lg in pine needle. 3. Dry matter intake per basal weight (DM glkg of B$W^{0.75}$ and DM g/kg of BW%) was higher in goats fed acacia leaf at 68.5 and 3.5% respectively than any other treatments goats fed pine needle showed the lowest (P< 0.05) dry matter intake at 28.6 and 1.5% respectively. 4. Dry matter digestibility was highest (PcO.05) in alfalfa fed goats at 61.4%. Dry matter digestibilities in orchardgrass, pine needle and acacia leaf were 58.0, 46.8 and 46.6% respectively. 5. Total digestible nutrients were highest (P< 0.05) in Alfalfa fed goats at 59.5%. Total digestible nutrients in orchardgrass, pine needle and acacia leaf were 54.2, 50.7 and 47.7% respectively. 6. In conclusion, the value of orchardgrass as feed for goats was as excellent as alfalfa and although acacia leaf had a less value than alfalfa in goats, it is considered to be used as a protein supplement in diets for goats due to its high content of protein and excellent palatability. Intake of pine needle in Korean goats in this study was satisfactory and it indicates the possibility of its use as a supplement in diets for goats. However, fkther investigation will be necessary particularly on the deleterious effects of ether extracts of pine needle

We demonstrate enhanced growth, innate immunity and protection against hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$)-induced protein oxidation and cellular DNA damage in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus fed a chitosan-coated moist pallet (MP) diet. A chitosan-based biopolymer coated MP as the experimental diet and a non-coated MP (control) was fed to olive flounder fish. Growth, including the average weight gain (g/fish), weight gain (%) and feed intake (g) of the fish group fed a chitosan-coated MP diet increased significantly. The survival rate was reported as 100% throughout the experimental period. Immunological parameters indicated higher mucus lysozyme activity and significantly higher fish skin mucus total protein content was observed in fish fed the chitosan-coated MP diet compared to the control. A blood plasma analysis revealed attenuation of cellular DNA and protein oxidative damage caused by $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress in the fish fed the chitosan-coated MP diet compared to the control group. Moreover, blood serum biochemical analysis revealed health-promoting effects, including significantly higher hemoglobin and total cholesterol levels in the fish fed the chitosan-coated MP diet compared to the control group. In conclusion, growth, innate immunity and protection against oxidative stresses were improved by feeding of the chitosan-coated MP diet to olive flounder reared in aquaculture.

Objectives: This study was undertaken to determine if Plantaginis Semen(PS) has a protective effect against $CCI_4$ induced hepatoxicity in Rats. Methods: The experimental groups were divided into Normal group (untreated Group), Control group $(group\;treated\;with\;CCI_4)$, Sample 1 (group treated with 0.1 ml Plantaginis Semen herbal acupuncture in both sides of $G\bar{a}nsh\bar{u}\;(BL_{18})$ after $CCI_4$ treating) and Sample 2 (group treated with feeding of 1 cc Plantaginis Semen extraction after $CCI_4$ treating). Rats were administered orally $CCI_4\;(0.1\;ml/kg)$ for 4 days. In experiments for PS effect, rats of Sample 1 group received 0.lml herbal acupuncture of PS extraction in both sides of corresponding $G\bar{a}nsh\bar{u}\;(BL_{18})$ of human body for 3 days after treated $CCI_4$. Rats of Sample 2 group feeded PS extraction (1cc) for 3 days after treated $CCI_4$. Variation of weight and biochemical assays (AST, ALT, LDH, ALP, total cholesterol, triglyceride, total protein, albumin) were performed. Results: In Control group, $CCI_4$ increased serum AST, ALT, LDH, ALP, total protein, albumin and decreased weight, total cholesterol, triglyceride. Sample 1 and Sample 2 significantly decreased serum AST, ALT, LDH, ALP, total protein, albumin as compared with Control group. Conclusion: These results indicate that PS could be used in prevention and treatment of hepatoxicity. However, precise mechanisms of PS protection remain to be determined.

This study was carried out to investigate the feeding effects of fermented wild grape by-product on pork meat qualities. The samples consisted of the pork not fed fermented wild grape byproduct(FWG-X) and the pork fed fermented wild grape byproduct(FWG-O). The moisture, crude protein, crude fat and crude ash were not significantly different between samples. The cholesterol and TBARS of FWG-O were lower than those of the FWG-X, and the salt soluble protein extractability of FWG-O was higher than that of the FWG-X(p<0.05). The calorie, cooking loss, water holding capacity, pH and volatile basic nitrogen were not significantly different between FWG-X and FWG-O. The meat colors of the a and b value of FWG-O were higher than those of the FWG-X, and in case of the fat color, the a value of FWG-O was higher than that of the FWG-X. The hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness and shear force were not significantly different between FWG-X and FWG-O. The total amino acid contents of FWG-X and FWG-O were 74.35 and 69.59g/100g protein, respectively, The raw meat color of FWG-O was higher than that of the FWG(p<0.01), and the cooked meat color(p<0.05), taste(p<0.001), flavor(p<0.001), juiciness(p<0.01) and palatability(p<0.01) were superior to those of the FWG-X. This study showed that fermented wild grape by-product decreased the cholesterol content and lipid oxidation with enhancing the sensory score.

A 10-week feeding experiment was conducted to determine the phosphorus requirement of juvenile Korean rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli). Three replicate groups of fish initially averaging 4.2g were fed the semipurified experimental diets containing graded levels of $NaH_2PO_4\;\cdot\;2H_2O$ to provide from $0.1\%$ to $1.32\%$ total phosphorus level in a flow-through seawater system. Korean rockfish muscle and casein were used as the protein sources of the basal diet. Weight gain, feed efficiency and protein retention of fish fed the $0.35\%$ phosphorus were higher than those of fish fed the $0.1\%$ phosphorus, although no significant improvements $(P>0.01)$ were observed above the level. Determined phosphorus requirement using the broken line model was found to be $0.3\%$ for weight gain. Moisture, protein and lipid contents of whole body and muscle were not affected by dietary phosphorus levels $(P>0.01)$. Lipid contents of liver in fish fed the $0.1\%$ phosphorus were lower than those in fish fed the $0.35\%$ and $1.32\%$ phosphorus $(P<0.01)$. Dietary phosphorus increased ash and phosphorus contents of the whole body, while those of bone were not affected $(P>0.01)$. The data obtained in this study indicate that a $0.3\%$ dietaryphosphorus level could be recommended for the optimum growth and efficient nutrient utilization of juvenile Korean rockfish.

Purpose: To identify the effects of modified parenteral nutrition (PN) and enteral nutrition (EN) regimens on the growth of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Methods: The study included VLBW infants weighing <1,500 g, admitted to Chungnam National University Hospital between October 2010 and April 2014, who were alive at the time of discharge. Subjects were divided according to 3 periods: period 1 (n=37); prior to the PN and EN regimen being modified, period 2 (n=50); following the PN-only regimen modification, period 3 (n=37); following both PN and EN regimen modification. The modified PN regimen provided 3 g/kg/day of protein and 1 g/kg/day of lipid on the first day of life. The modified EN regimen provided 3.5-4.5 g/kg/day of protein and 150 kcal/kg/day of energy. We investigated growth rate, anthropometric measurements at 40 weeks postconceptional age (PCA) and the incidence of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) at 40 weeks PCA. Results: Across the 3 periods, clinical characteristics, including gestational age, anthropometric measurements at birth, multiple births, sex, Apgar score, surfactant use and PDA treatment, were similar. Growth rates for weight and height, from time of full enteral feeding to 40 weeks PCA, were higher in period 3. Anthropometric measurements at 40 weeks PCA were greatest in period 3. Incidence of weight, height and head circumference EUGR at 40 weeks PCA decreased in period 3. Conclusion: Beginning PN earlier, with a greater supply of protein and energy during PN and EN, is advantageous for postnatal growth in VLBW infants.

This study was designed to observe the nutritional effects of mugwort powder in albino rats. Forty eight young male albino rats, Sprague-Dawley strain, body weight of $80{\pm}3g$ were employed in the study. They were fed on the basal diets supplemented with 0,2,4,6, and 10% mugwort powder for 4 weeks respectively. The amounts of food and protein intake in animal groups of 4 to 8% mugwder supplemented were higher than that of control group. The efficiencies of food and protein in animal groups of mugwort powder supplemented were lower than that of nonsupplemented group. The animal group of 4% mugwort powder supplemented group was highest in energy intake among of other groups. The growing rate of animal groups of 2-6% mugwort powder supplemented groups were similar to that of the control group where as 8% or more of mugwort powder supplemented groups were below than the control group. The contents of hemoglobin and hematocrit were no remarkable difference among of the all groups. The levels of blood sugar in the groups of 8% and 10% mugwort powder supplemented were significantly higher than that of the control group, but their A/G ratio of the serum protein were significantly lower than that of the control group instead.
