A feeding trial was conducted to study the replacement value of concentrates with Barhar (Artocarpus lakocha) leaves on growth performance of kids fed a mixed jungle grass-based diet. Fifteen Sikkim local kids, about 4 months of age and body weight ranging from 5.8 to 9.2 kg, were randomly distributed into three groups of five. Kids were stall fed ad lib with mixed jungle grass collected from the nearby forest and native scrubland. The kids in group I received supplementary concentrate (Maize 35%, mustard cake 32%, rice bran 30%, mineral mixture 2% and common salt 1%) at approximately 2% of BW. For groups II and III, 25 and 50% of the concentrate was replaced with Barhar (Artocarpus lakocha) leaves, respectively. Total dry matter intake (DMI) was not significantly different among groups. Digestibility of CP decreased (p<0.05) and that of NDF increased (p<0.01) with increasing level of Barhar leaves in the diet. Digestibility of ADF (p<0.01), hemi cellulose (p<0.05) and cellulose (p<0.01) was higher in groups II and III than in group I. Ruminal pH and TVFA concentration were not significantly different among groups. Rumen ammonia-N concentration decreased (p<0.01) with increased level of Barhar leaves in the diet. Similarly, plasma urea nitrogen and blood glucose levels were reduced (p<0.05) with increasing level of Barhar leaves in the diet. Replacement of concentrate with Barhar resulted in reduced Hb and lower serum iron concentration. Levels of other serum metabolites including minerals were not altered by the replacement. Average daily gain (ADG) was 53.3, 54.4 and 41.8 g/d in groups I, II and III, respectively. ADG was not adversely affected when the level of replacement was restricted to 25%. However, at 50% of replacement ADG was significantly lower than the control (p<0.05). Thus, it was concluded that Barhar leaves might replace 25% of the supplemental concentrate for growing Sikkim local kids fed on a mixed jungle grass-based diet.

To investigate the effect of 'Saengkankunbi-Tang' on the liver tissue recovery in about 70% cutted rat liver, the observation on the photographing by the Gamma-camera and the electromicroscopic section against the rabbit liver induced by $CCl_4$, these studies were conducted. The results were summarized as follows; Observed on the liver tissue recovery, function regeneration and body weight increase in about 70% cutted rat liver, the recovery of liver tissue and body weight were increased with the passage of the time and also they were showed to the high increase rate in proportion to administration amount. The glucose content in the serum was found in increasing tide as compared with the control group. The alkaline phosphate activity in the serum showed the significant difference in the 10th day and 13th day as compared with the control group. The ammonia content in the blood showed the significant difference only in the 10th day. Observed on the photographing by the Gamma-camera against the rabbit liver induced by $CCl_4$, sample groups were shown to be significant recovery as compared with the control group. Observed on the electromicroscopic section, sample groups showed the control action of the nuclear destruction against the rabbit liver induced by $CCl_4$ and also they showed the control action of the expansion of glycogen and granular endothelial reticulum in cytoplasm. According to the above finding, it is presume that 'Saengkankunbi-Tang' can be applicable to the extensive treatment of liver disease.

To confirm the food quality of conventionally processed fish extracts, protein quality of boiled crucian carp(Carassius carassius) and bastard halibut(Paralichthys olivaceus) extracts and their residues were evaluated. For the both fish extracts, some of the essential amino acids were lowered significantly but two times more proline and glycine were detected in extracts than those in raw fish meats. Boiling(100oC, 5 hours) caused 1.8(crucian carp)~2.4(bastard halibut) times more total free amino acid contents in fish extracts as compared to those in original fish meats. Taurine, glutamic acid, proline, lysine, and ammonia were the predominant free amino acids released in fish extracts. In vitro digestibility of boiled fish extracts were lower at a level of 4~6% than those of raw fish meats. Fish extraction residue had a higher in vitro digestibility and had a 60% lower level of TI than that of original fish meats. 18(bastard halibut)~ 24%(crucian carp) of available lysine was reduced in boiled fish extracts but a remarkable variation was not noted between extracts and residues. PERs and NPRs of fish extracts were significantly lower than those of casein, while those values of extraction residue were slightly higher as compared to those of control(ANRC casein). In vivo apparent digestibility exhibited a similar trend to in vitro digestibility. Hematological properties in serum of rat fed with fish extracts and residue were not changed significantly but the serum cholesterol concentration were reduced in rats fed fish extraction residue comparing with those of control. These results suggest that body weight loss due to fish extracts may not affect physiological changes.

Objectives: The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of Sosiho-tang on thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver fibrosis in mice and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms. Methods: The mice were divided into 4 groups: Normal mice (Normal), TAA-induced control mice (Control), TAA-induced and silymarin-treated (50 mg/kg) mice (Silymarin), and TAA-induced and Sosiho-tang treated (200 mg/kg) mice (SSHT). Liver fibrosis was induced via intraperitoneal injection of TAA three times a week for 8 weeks. Silymarin and Sosiho-tang were concomitantly administered for 8 weeks. Serum and liver tissues were then collected and the anti-oxidant and inflammatory protein levels in the liver tissues were evaluated using western blotting. Results: SSHT administration significantly reduced the levels of AST, ALT, ammonia, and MPO in the serum. SSHT also significantly down-regulated liver NADPH oxidase and regulated the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway. SSHT treatment downregulated the liver NF-κB levels and suppressed inflammatory cytokines. SSHT treatment also decreased bile acid-related factors, such as CYP7A1 and NTCP, and fibrosis-related factors, such as α-SMA and Collagen I. Conclusions: Taken together, these data suggest that SSHT administration suppressed the progression of liver fibrosis by activating the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway and inhibiting NF-κB.

화강암으로부터 추출한 활성 광물질액이 육계의 생산성과 깔짚에서 암모니아 발생, 육계 혈액 성상 및 혈청 내 ND titer, 장내 미생물 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 5주 동안 육계 실험을 실시하였다. 960수의 갓 부화한 육계 병아리를 공시하였고 5처리 4반복으로 반복당 48수씩 배치하여 생산성 및 암모니아 발생에 대해 조사하였다(C; control, zeolite; control + zeolite $1\%$, AM10; control + 활성 미네랄수 $10\%$흡착 zeolite $1\%$, AM20 control + 활성 미네랄수 $20\%$ 흡착 zeolite $1\%$, AM30; control + 활성 미네랄수 $30\%$ 흡착 zeolite $1\%$). 또한 사양 시험과 동시에 48수의 육계 병아리들을 반복당 2수씩 6처리 4반복으로 배치하고 ND 백신을 접종하여 ND titer와 혈액 성상 및 장내 미생물 변화에 대해 조사하였다. 증체와 사료 섭취량, 사료 효율, 폐사율 등은 처리간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 그러나 증체량과 사료 섭취 량에서 AM30구가 처리구들 중에서 가장 높았는데 특히 4, 5주간의 증체량이 높았다. 사료 전환율(사료섭취량/증체량)에서 모든 처리구들이 대조구보다 높게 나타났다. 폐사율은 모든 처리구들이 대조구보다 낮았다. 깔짚에서 암모니아 발생은 처리간에 고도의 유의적인 차이(P<0.01)가 있었는데 AM30 구가 가장 낮았다. ND titer는 모든 처리구들간에 유의한 차가 없었다. 혈액 성상에 있어서 처리구들간에는 유의한 차가 없었는데 평균 적혈구 헤모글로빈 농도(MCHC)에 있어서는 zeolite 구가 타 처리구들에 비해 유의하게(P<0.05) 낮았다. 장내 미생물 중에 Clostridium perfringens의 수는 모든 처리구들이 대조구보다 유의하게(P<0.01) 낮았고 Ercherichia coli의 수는 유의한 차이가 없었다. Lactobacilli의 수는AM30구가 대조구보다 유의하게(P<0.05) 높았다. 결론적으로 활성 미네랄수 $30\%$흡착 zeolite의 사료 내 첨가는 대조구에 비하여 육계의 증체율을 개선시키는 경향이 있었으며 깔짚에서 암모니아 가스 발생도 유의하게 감소시켰고 장내 Lactobacilli의 수를 유의하게 증가시켰다.

The antimicrobial effect of a novel flavonoid (7-O-butyl naringenin) on Helicobacter pylori ATCC 26695 and its inhibitory effects on the urease activity of the strain were evaluated by comparing with quercetin and naringenin. H. pylori was cultured with brain heart infusion supplemented with 5% horse serum at $37^{\circ}C$ under 10% $CO_2$ atmosphere and the inhibitory effects of flavonoids against the strain were detected using micro-plate methods. During 12 hr of incubation time, the optical densities of phenol red reduced (pink color) in the urea broth by producing ammonia were detected at 560 nm with a spectrophotometer. The results indicated that both quercetin and 7-O-butyl naringenin were effective against the growth of H. pylori. Moreover, inhibitory effect of 7-O-butyl naringenin on the growth of H. pylori was about two-fold higher than quercetin at the same concentration. With regard to H. pylori urease activity, 7-O-butyl naringenin had a greater inhibitory effect than did naringenin or quercetin at the same concentration.

Background: The Panax ginseng berry extract (GBE) is well known to have an antidiabetic effect. The aim of this study is to evaluate and investigate the protective effect of ultrasonication-processed P. ginseng berry extract (UGBE) compared with GBE on liver fibrosis induced by mild bile duct ligation (MBDL) model in rats. After ultrasonication process, the composition ratio of ginsenoside in GBE was changed. The component ratio of ginsenosides Rh1, Rh4, Rg2, Rg3, Rk1, Rk3, and F4 in the extract was elevated. Methods: In this study, the protective effect of the newly developed UGBE was evaluated on hepatotoxicity and neuronal damage in MBDL model. Silymarin (150 mg/kg) was used for positive control. UGBE (100 mg/kg, 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg), GBE (250 mg/kg), and silymarin (150 mg/kg) were orally administered for 6 weeks after MBDL surgery. Results: The MBDL surgery induced severe hepatotoxicity that leads to liver inflammation in rats. Also, the serum ammonia level was increased by MBDL surgery. However, the liver dysfunction of MBDL surgery-operated rats was attenuated by UGBE treatment via myeloid differentiation factor 88-dependent Toll-like receptor 4 signaling pathways. Conclusion: UGBE has a protective effect on liver fibrosis induced by MBDL in rats through inhibition of the TLR4 signaling pathway in liver.

본 시험은 두충 급여가 거세한우의 성장, 도체특성, 육질특성 및 육의 지방산 조성에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 수행하였다. 기초사료로 배합사료와 볏짚을 급여하였으며, 건조 두충 잎을 건물기준으로 조사료의 3, 5 및 10%를 대체․급여하였다. 시험사료의 사료적 가치를 평가하기 위하여 평균체중 321±13kg의 거세한우 72두(4개구$\time$6 두$\time$3 반복)를 공시하여 약 15개월간 실시하였다. 일당 증체량은 대조구를 포함한 모든 처리구에서 0.81-0.86kg으로 유의차는 없었다. 사료요구율도 대조구를 포함한 모든 처리구에서 10.05-10.59로서 개선효과는 없었다. 분변내 NH3 가스 발생량은 두충 잎의 급여비율이 높을수록 감소하였다. 즉 40℃에서 12시간 발효시에는 대조구와 3% 구는 각각 30.6ppm과 29.8ppm이었으나 5% 구와 10% 구는 각각 20.3ppm과 21.6ppm으로 낮았다(p<0.05). 등지방 두께는 대조구는 15.0mm였으며 5-10% 급여시 10.2-10.5mm로 얇은 경향이었다(p<0.05). 육량 A 등급 출현율은 3% 급여시 약 20%가 증가하였으며, 육질 1+와 1 등급 출현율은 두충 잎을 5-10% 급여시 약 10-15%가 증가하였다. 등심의 육색에 대한 CIE L*, a* 및 b* 값은 각 시험구간 차이는 없었으며, 우둔의 CIE L*, a* 및 b* 값에서도 각 시험구간에 차이는 없었다. 지방산 함량에 있어서 등심과 우둔에서 공히 C18:1은 두충 잎을 5-10% 급여구에서 증가하였다(p<0.05). 등심의 cholesterol 함량은 10% 급여한 구가 53.3mg /100g으로 대조구와 3% 구 및 5% 구의 55.7-57.0mg/100g으로 비해 낮았다(p<0.05). 하리의 발생비율은 대조구가 약 20.3%였으며 두충 잎을 5-10% 대체 급여할 경우에는 10.4-12.5%로 크게 감소되었다(p<0.05). 호흡기 발병비율은 두충 잎을 대체함으로 개선되는 경향이지만 유의차는 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 두충 잎에는 다양한 기능성을 가지는 생리활성 물질이 상당량 함유된 기능성 사료로의 개발 가능성이 매우 높다. 또한 두충 잎을 음건하여 반추동물에 급여할 경우 육질 개선 및 하리 발생비율이 감소되기 때문에 고급육 생산에 효과적이었다. 따라서 두충 잎을 거세한우에 급여할 경우 조사료의 5-10%를 대체하는 것이 가장 유리할 것으로 생각된다.

Background: Use of prebiotics in companion animal nutrition is often considered advantageous over probiotics because of the ease of handling, ability to withstand processing and storage etc. While most of the studies on prebiotic use in dogs have been done with processed food as basal diet, the response in relation to homemade diet feeding is not very well explored. Methods: The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) supplementation on nutrient digestibility, hindgut fermentation, immune response and antioxidant indices in dogs. Ten Spitz pups were divided into two groups: control (CON) with no supplementation, and experimental (MOS) wherein the basal diet was supplemented with MOS at 15 g/kg diet. All dogs were fed on a home-prepared diet for a period of 150 days. The study protocol included a digestion trial, periodic blood collection and analysis for lipid profile and erythrocytic antioxidants. Immune response of the animals was assessed towards the end of the feeding period. Results: Results revealed no significant (P > 0.05) variations in palatability score, intake and apparent digestibility of nutrients between the groups. Faecal score, faeces voided, faecal pH, concentrations of ammonia, lactate and short-chain fatty acids were comparable (P > 0.05) between the two groups. Cell-mediated immune response, assessed as delayed-type of hypersensitivity response, was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the MOS group. The percent of lymphocyte sub-populations CD4+ and ratio of CD4+:CD8+ were also significantly (P < 0.05) higher in MOS group. The serum IgG levels were similar (P > 0.05) in both the groups. Supplementation of MOS lowered (P < 0.05) serum total- and LDL- cholesterol levels, when compared with the control group. The erythrocytic antioxidant indices were similar (P > 0.05) between the two groups. Conclusions: The results indicated that supplementation of MOS at the rate of 15 g/kg in the diet of dog augmented the cell-mediated immune response and serum lipid profile without any influences on digestibility of nutrients, hindgut fermentation and antioxidants indices.
