The development of rumen in fetuses between 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonates of Korean native goats was investigated by light, scanning electron microscopy. The results were summarized as follows; 1. In the 60-day-old fetuses, the stomach was developed and differentiated into four compartments of rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The ruminal epithelial layers were differentiated into two zones; a small dark basal and a large light luminar zones. 2. In the 90-day-old fetuses, the light luminar zone of the rumen was 6-12 times thicker than the dark zone. 3. In the 120-day-old fetuses, the wall of the rumen had increased in thickness, and its the mucosa was still smooth. Several undulations of various depths involving the basal zone, basement membrane and lamina propria were observed at irregular within the light zone. 4. In the neonate, the wall of the rumen had increased in thickness and the luminar surface had become wavy due to the appearance of several shallow furrows in the luminar surface of the epithelium especially between the tips of the relatively more developed undulations. 5. Scanning electron microscopic studies: In the 90-day-old fetuses, numerous microvilli and microridges were observed on the superficial epithelial layer of the rumen. The ruminal papillae were already formed at 120 days of gestation. In the 120-day-old fetuses, the ruminal papillae formed short dome-shape. In the neonate, the ruminal papillae formed pebble-shape or short finger like.

본 연구는 이유 (생후 2개월) 전 농후사료 (무조사료) 급여가 한우 어린 송아지의 반추위 유두 발달에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 수행하였다. 총 24두 (수 12두, 암 12두)의 생후 6일령 한우 어린송아지를 3처리구에 배치하였고, 각각 어미젖을 포유할 수 있는 시설에서 사육하였다. 처리구는 크게 농후사료구 (무조사료구)와 조사료구로 구분하였고, 농후사료구는 농후사료의 섭취량에 따른 반추위 발달 양상을 조사하기 위하여, 사료섭취량을 기준으로 고농후사료급여구와 저농후사료급여구로 세분화하였다. 31~60일령의 1일 사료 섭취량은 고농후사료급여구 (380.2 g/d)가 저농후사료급여구 (76.9 g/d) 및 조사료구 (58.3 g/d)에 비하여 유의적 (P<0.05)으로 높았다. 고농후사료급여구와 저농후사료급여구의 1일 사료섭취량은 큰 차이를 보였지만 생시체중 및 60일령 체중은 비슷하게 나타나, 저농후사료급여구의 성장에 부족한 영양분은 어미소의 포유로부터 충족된 것으로 사료되었다. 60일령의 체중 대비 반추위 무게의 비율은 고농후사료급여구 (1.39%)가 저농후사료급여구 (1.06%) 및 조사료구 (0.85%) 보다 유의적 (P<0.05)으로 높게 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라 고농후사료급여구의 반추위 유두 길이 및 두께도 다른 처리구들에 비하여 유의적 (P<0.05)으로 높았다. 이는 육안으로도 그 차이를 뚜렷이 구분할 수 있었다. 60일령 혈중 ${\beta}$-hydroxybutyrate의 농도도 고농후사료급여구 (176.4 ${\mu}mol/L$)가 저농후사료급여구 (59.2 ${\mu}mol/L$) 및 조사료구 (58.9 ${\mu}mol/L$) 보다 유의적 (P<0.05)으로 높았다. 본 연구의 결과는 이유 전 (생후 2개월) 한우 송아지의 반추위 발달이 농후사료 섭취량에 의하여 크게 영향을 받으며, 우유와 조사료는 반추위 발달에 미치는 영향이 매우 낮음을 제시하였다.

Objective: The objective of this experiment was to examine the effects of different amylose/amylopectin ratios on rumen fermentation and development of fattening lambs. Methods: Forty-eight 7-day-old male Small-tailed Han sheep${\times}$Northeast fine wool sheep were randomly assigned to four treatments of dietary amylose/amylopectin ratios (0.12, 0.23, 0.24, and 0.48 in tapioca starch, corn starch, wheat starch and pea starch diets, respectively). Three lambs from each treatment were slaughtered at 21, 35, 56, and 77 days of age to determine the rumen fermentation and development. Results: Compared with tapioca starch diet, the pea starch diet significantly increased the concentration of ammonia nitrogen in the ruminal fluid of lambs but significantly decreased the bacterial protein content. At 56 and 77 d, the rumen propionate concentration tended to be greatest in the tapioca starch group than in other groups. The rumen butyrate concentration was the greatest in lambs fed on pea starch compared with those fed on other starch diets. Furthermore, the pea starch diet significantly stimulated rumen development by increasing the papillae height, width and surface area in the rumen ventral or dorsal locations in lambs. However, different amylose/amylopectin ratios diets did not significantly affect the feed intake, body weight, average daily gain, the relative weight and capacity of the rumen in lambs with increasing length of trial periods. Conclusion: Lambs early supplemented with a high amylose/amylopectin ratio diet had favourable morphological development of rumen epithelium, which was not conducive to bacterial protein synthesis.

Effect of molasses addition to complete calf starter (CCS) and the following pellet processing was evaluated with 12 Holstein-Friesian (HF) calves (7-14 d old with $42\;{\pm}\;5.5\;kg$ average BW), with 6 calves (replicate) per treatment. The CCS was formulated with 65% concentrate calf starter and 35% local corn fodder. On the CCS, molasses was added either 5% (M5) or 10% (M10), then the mixture was pelleted and fed to the calves for 7 weeks. Molasses addition, regardless of addition level, improved (p<0.05) both the durability and hardness of the pellet which contains 35% of high fibrous local corn fodder. Upon feeding to calves, the feed intake and daily gain were numerically higher with 5% molasses addition compared to 10% molasses addition. Blood VFA level was remarkably higher (p<0.01) in calves fed M10 than calves fed M5. There was no difference (p>0.05) in blood glucose level between M5 and M10. Length and number of papillae were not different (p>0.05) by the addition levels of molasses. However, there was one exception in number of papillae at caudo-dorsal sac which were higher (p<0.05) number in M5 than M10 calves. Considering the quality of CCS pellet, calf performance and rumen development, there was no additional benefit of 10% molasses addition compared to 5%. From the results of this study, 5% molasses addition could be recommended for local farmer when they utilize local corn fodder to make CCS for HF calves in Indonesia.

Objective: The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of different diets for early-weaned (EW) calves on rumen development, and how this affects fat deposition in the longissimus dorsi of adult Korean Hanwoo beef cattle. Methods: Three EW groups were established (each n = 12) in which two- week-old Hanwoo calves were fed for ten weeks with milk replacer+concentrate (T1), milk replacer+concentrate+roughage (T2), or milk replacer+concentrate+30% starch (T3); a control group (n = 12) was weaned as normal. At six months, 5 calves of each group were slaughtered and their organs were assessed and rumen papillae growth rates were measured. The remaining calves (n = 7 in each group) were raised to 20 months for further analysis. Results: Twenty-month-old EW calves had a higher body weight (BW), backfat thickness (BF), longissimus dorsi muscle area (LMA) and intramuscular fat (IMF) than the control (p<0.05). Organ growth, rumen histology, and gene expression patterns in the 6-month-old calves were positively related to the development of marbling in the loin, as assessed by ultrasound analysis (p<0.05). In the group fed the starch-enriched diet (T3), higher BW, BF, LMA, and IMF were present. The IMF beef quality score of 20-month-old cattle was 1+ for the T2 and T3 diets and 1 for the T1 diet (p<0.05). Conclusion: Papillae development was significantly greater in calves fed on high-concentrate diets and this may have resulted in the improved beef quality in the EW dietary groups compared to the control.

The development of omasum in fetuses between 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonates of Korean native goats was investigated by fight; scanning electron microscopy. The results were summarized as follows : 1. In the 60-day-old fetuses, the stomach was developed and differentiated into four compartments of rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The mucosa of the omasum was thrown into folds which appeared to be three or four different orders of large, medium, small, and smallest laminae. 2. In the 90-day-old fetuses, the omasal laminae had increased greatly in length and cores of omasal laminae were invaginated laterally. 3. In the 120-day-old fetuses, the wall of the omasal laminae had increased in length and the lamina epithelialisis had slightly increased in thickness. The lateral invaginations at the dark zone had increased in length and depth. The tunica muscularis increased only slightly in thickness particularly within its inner circular layer. 4. In the neonate, the muscularis and the omasal laminae had increased in thickness. The lateral invaginations of the dark zone were observed in the first, second and third order of omasal laminae. 5. Scanning electron microscopic studies : In the 90-day-old fetuses, numerous microvilli and microridges were observed on the luminar surface of the omasal mucosa. The omasal papillae were already formed at 120 days of gestation. In the I20-day-old fetuses omasal papillae liked nipple shape. In the neonate, the omasal papillae liked the thumb.

The development of reticulum in fetuses between 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonates of Korean native goats was investigated by light, scanning electron microscopy. The results were summarized as follows; 1. In the 60-day-old fetuses, the stomach was developed and differentiated into four compartments of rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The reticular epithelial layers were differentiated into two zones; a small dark basal and a large light luminar zones. The wall of reticulum resembled that of the rumen except that the mucosa was in the cranio-dorsal region of the reticulum. 2. In the 90-day-old fetuses, the light luminar zone of the reticulum was about 10-16 times thicker than the dark zone. The outlines of the reticular ribs were visible. 3. In the 120-day-old fetuses, the wall of the reticlum had also increased in thickness. The reticular mucosa exhibited an irregular luminar surface and the invaginations had differentiated into large regularly arranged ones separated by 3-5 and small irregularly arranged ones. 4. In the neonate, the luminar surface of the reticular mucosa demonstrated clear furrows, at which the superficial cells of the light zone had undergone degenerative changes. 5. Scanning electron microscopic studies; In the 60-day-old fetuse, numerous microvilli were observed on the superficial epithelial layer of shape or dome like at 120 days. In the neonate, the reticular papillae liked the little finger.

The effects of long-term feeding of diets based on bermudagrass hay supplemented with lucerne hay cube (LH) or fermented bagasse feed (FBF) on the growth rate, feed efficiency, behaviour, gut development, carcass characteristics and meat quality of goats were investigated. Six spring-born 8-month-old male crossbred (Japanese Saanen${\times}$Tokara native goats) bucks weighing mean 21.6 kg were allotted to 2 treatment groups (3 animals each) and each animal had ad libitum access to feeds, i.e. bermudagrass hay (basal diet)+LH or FBF throughout the experiment. The FBF was produced by the solid-state fermentation of substrates containing dried sugarcane bagasse mixed with wheat bran in a ratio of 1:3 (w/w DM) with Aspergillus sojae. The live body weight, final weight and average daily gain were not different between treatments. Average basal diet intake of goats fed FBF diet was significantly higher than that fed LH diet (p<0.05), but average dry matter intake (DMI; g/day and g/$W^{0.75}$), feed conversion ratio, digestible crude protein (DCP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) intake of experimental diets were not significantly different between treatments. Goats fed on LH and FBF diets had similar eating, rumination, resting and drinking behaviours, and blood constituents except for phosphorus content. Slaughter and carcass weights, net meat percentage [(total meat/carcass weight)${\times}$100], loin ratio [(loin/total meat)${\times}$100] and rib-eye area were not different between treatments. However, goats fed FBF diet had lower dressing percentage and higher bone/muscle ratio compared with goats fed LH diet (p<0.01). Empty gut and guts fill of goats fed FBF diet were significantly greater (p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively) than those fed LH diet. The weights of rumen and abomasum were also significantly heavier in goats fed FBF diet (p<0.05), but the length and density of papillae of rumen in goats were not different between treatments. Although meat composition of loin was not different in both groups, the meat of goats fed FBF diet was superior to that of LH diet in flavor, aroma and overall quality of loin (p<0.01). In conclusion, the nature of the diet consumed voluntarily did not affect subsequent growth, nutrient intake and behaviour of goats but had an influence on carcass traits and sensory evaluation of meat partly, when either of LH or FBF was fed with bermudagrass hay.

본 연구는 체계적인 송아지 사양관리 대책을 수립하기 위해 필요한 자료를 제공하기 위한 목적으로 농가에서 실시하고 있는 이유전 한우 송아지의 사양관리 현황을 조사하였다. 설문은 전국의 한우 가임암소를 사육하고 있는 농가를 대상으로 도별 농가수 편차가 크게 발생하지 않는 범위에서 농가를 임의로 선출하여 방문 조사하였다. 총 조사된 농가수는 862농가로, 경기 및 제주를 제외하고는 전 지역(7개 도)에서 비교적 비슷한 농가수가 조사되었으며, 사육두수 규모별 분포는 200두 이상 사육농가가 10.7%로 가장 낮았으나, 이를 제외한 나머지 50두 이하, 51-100두 및 101-200두 규모 농가의 비율은 비슷하게 조사되었다. 과반수이상(50.6%)의 농가가 생후 6-10일령에 스타터사료 급여를 실시하는 것으로 조사되어 농가가 비교적 빠른 시기에 스타터를 급여하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 3일에 한번 스타터를 교체하는 농가의 비율이 30.1%로서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 1회/1주일 교체농가(19.2%)의 비율도 1일 1회 교체농가의 비율(18.8%) 보다 높아, 신선한 스타터사료 급여를 위해서 교체주기를 단축시킬 필요가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 조사료 급여 시기는 비록 비율의 차이는 있지만 스타터사료 급여시기와 비슷한 경향을 나타내었고, 스타터와 함께 급여하는 조사료는 볏짚(53%)을 가장 많이 급여하는 것으로 나타났다. 이유 전 조사료의 급여는 송아지의 성장 및 반추위 발달에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 알려져 있고, 특히 품질이 낮은 볏짚은 송아지의 성장에 미치는 부정적인 영향은 더욱 크기 때문에 이에 대한 개선이 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 물은 과반수이상의 농가(55.4%)가 생후1-5일 사이에 급여하는 것으로 조사되어 많은 농가가 비교적 빠른시기에 물을 급여하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 과반수이상의 농가(53%)가 스타터 섭취량 기준으로 이유시기를 결정하기보다는 다른 이유(개월령 및 성장기준)로 결정하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 스타터사료의 섭취량은 이유 전 송아지의 반추위 발달을 간접적으로 판단할 수 있는 기준이 되기 때문에 이를 기준으로 이유시기를 결정할 수 있도록 농가의 개선이 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 한우 송아지의 빠른 반추위 발달을 통한 이유시기의 단축을 위해서는 사료의 신선도 유지를 위한 스타터사료 교체주기의 단축, 이유 전 조사료 급여의 불필요, 신선한 물 급여를 위한 물통청소 주기 단축 등에 대한 개선이 필요할 것으로 나타났다.
