The current study evaluated the presence and concentration of health-promoting phenolic antioxidants in sorghum seed accessions from seven regions in three different countries (Uzbekistan, Myanmar, and the United States). The free radical scavenging activity using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay was 13.10±2.37 ㎍/mL in the Uzbekistan sorghum seed extracts, demonstrating the highest antioxidant activity. Additionally, the total phenol content was the highest in the Uzbekistan sorghum seed extracts [157.87±4.04 mg GAE/g (gallic acid equivalents per gram)]. The total flavonoid content was 12.69±0.72 mg QE/g (quercetin equivalents per gram) and represents the highest value in the Myanmar collection. The Uzbekistan collection demonstrated the greatest potential for whitening activity, with the tyrosinase inhibition rate of 79.20±4.15%. The wrinkle improvement function using elastase also showed the highest anti-aging activity of 55.85±4.78% in the same seed extract. The Uzbekistan seed extract had the highest NO production inhibitory activity of 144.35±4.55%. We conclude from these results that the Uzbekistan sorghum seed has excellent antioxidant activity, content of various functional ingredients, and anti-inflammatory activity.

Two promising varieties of forage sorghum viz. HD-15 and J. Sel-10 were identified for their higher forage yield (350-400 quintals per hectare) compared to traditional/existing variety, HC-136 at Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute, Jhansi. Silage of these three forage sorghum varieties viz., HD-15, J.Sel-10 and HC-136 were prepared in three concrete silos for their nutritional evaluation in sheep. Twelve adult Muzaffarnagari Ewes, divided into three equal groups of 4 each, were offered a particular variety of sorghum silage ad libitum over a period of 30 days followed by a 6 day metabolism trial and a collection of rumen liquor and blood samples. The HD-15 variety of forage sorghum silage contained higher crude protein (CP) than both the J.Sel-10 and HC-136. Average daily dry matter (DM) intake (% of live weight) differed significantly (p<0.05) in sheep that were fed the different varieties of silage, with the maximum amount in HD-15 (2.55) followed by J.Sel-10 (2.49) and HC-136 (1.84). The average apparent digestibility of all the nutrients was low in the sheep that were fed the HC-136 variety of sorghum silage when compared to both HD-15 and J.Sel-10. However, digestibility of organic matter (p<0.05) and crude protein (p<0.01) was significantly low in the HC-136 variety. The average daily nitrogen retention was-0.19, 2.15 and 0.42 g in HC-136, HD-15 and J.Sel-10, respectively which differed significantly (p<0.01). The average digestible crude protein and total digestible nutrient (TDN) contents (%) of the silage varieties were higher in HD-15 (3.14 and 55.3) than HC-136 (0.25 and 58.6) and J.Sel-10 (1.58 and 55.3) varieties. On comparing to the maintenance requirements (ICAR, 1985) for dry matter, crude protein and total digestible nutrients, both the improved varieties (HD-15 and J.Sel-10) almost met the requirements except crude protein, which met only 73.3% of the requirement by J.Sel-10, while the HC-136 variety was unable to meet the requirements. The average rumen pH and total volatile fatty acids concentrations were comparable among the groups. However, concentrations of nitrogen metabolites were higher in the animals fed the HD-15 variety of silage. Varieties of sorghum silage also did not have any influence on the concentration of the blood metabolites. It was concluded that the HD-15 variety of sorghum silage was nutritionally superior to both J.Sel-10 and HC-136 silage.

In this study, 139 Korean landrace sorghum germplasms collected in 10 different Korean regions were analyzed for tannin, total phenolic contents(TPC), and antioxidant activities using three assays including ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP. The Korean landrace sorghums showed significant variations of metabolite contents and antioxidant activities by collection regions. Gyeonggi sorghum had the highest tannin and TPC contents with 273.73%, 7.395mgGAE/g, respectively. Therefore, three assays of antioxidant activities of Gyeonggi sorghum, which is highly related to tannin and TPC, were also significantly higher than others. However, Gyeongnam sorghums showed the lowest tannin and TPC with 148.34% and 3.482mgGAE/g, thus, three antioxidnat activities showed the lowest levels. Three accessions(IT322580, IT340261 and IT329053) had the highest tannin levels over 400%, but, two accessions (IT322613, IT270366) showed less than 1% of tannin content. Four accessions (IT270349, IT286448, IT331878, and IT251882) showed the highest level of TPC over 9mgGAE/g. In this study, antioxidant activities with three assays were strongly related to tannins and TPC, and TPC showed higher significance than tannin with all three antioxidant activities. The germplasms with the highest overall antioxidant activity were IT270349, IT340261, and IT286448, which had the highest levels of tannin and TPC. The principal component analysis presented that 2 sub-populations were divided. Gyeonggi and Gangwon Yeongseo sorghums, which had high metabolite contents and antioxidant activity levels, were mainly included in group 1. Gyeongnam and Jeonnam sorghums, which had low metabolite and antioxidant activity levels, were mainly included in group 2. This results could contribute to discover breeding metarials for the development of functional sorghum varieties.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate increasing doses of a novel microbial phytase (Cibenza Phytaverse, Novus International, St. Charles, MO, USA) on standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of P in canola meal (CM), corn, corn-derived distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS), rice bran (RB), sorghum, soybean meal (SBM), sunflower meal (SFM), and wheat. Methods: Two cohorts of 36 pigs each (initial body weight = $78.5{\pm}3.7kg$) were randomly assigned to 2 rooms, each housing 36 pigs, and then allotted to 6 diets with 6 replicates per diet in a randomized complete block design. Test ingredient was the only dietary source of P and diets contained 6 concentrations of phytase (0, 125, 250, 500, 1,000, or 2,000 phytase units [FTU]/kg) with 0.4% of $TiO_2$ as a digestibility marker. Feeding schedule for each ingredient was 5 d acclimation, 5 d fecal collection, and 4 d washout. The STTD of P increased (linear or exponential $p{\leq}0.001$) with the inclusion of phytase for all ingredients. Results: Basal STTD of P was 37.6% for CM, 37.6% for corn, 68.6% for DDGS, 10.3% for RB, 41.2% for sorghum, 36.7% for SBM, 26.2% for SFM, and 55.1% for wheat. The efficiency of this novel phytase to hydrolyze phytate is best described with a broken-line model for corn, an exponential model for CM, RB, SBM, SFM, and wheat, and a linear model for DDGS and sorghum. Based on best-fit model the phytase dose (FTU/kg) needed for highest STTD of P (%), respectively, was 735 for 64.3% in CM, 550 for 69.4% in corn, 160 for 55.5% in SBM, 1,219 for 57.8% in SFM, and 881 for 64.0% in wheat, whereas a maximum response was not obtained for sorghum, DDGS and RB within the evaluated phytase range of 0 to 2,000 FTU/kg. These differences in the phytase concentration needed to maximize the STTD of P clearly indicate that the enzyme does not have the same hydrolysis efficiency among the evaluated ingredients. Conclusion: Variations in enzyme efficacy to release P from phytate in various feedstuffs need to be taken into consideration when determining the matrix value for phytase in a mixed diet, which likely depends on the type and inclusion concentration of ingredients used in mixed diets for pigs. The use of a fixed P matrix value across different diet types for a given phytase concentration is discouraged as it may result in inaccurate diet formulation.

본 시험은 현행 ME 측정방법을 비교 검토하기 위하여 옥수수, 수수, 대맥, 어분, 대두박에 대하여 TCM, IM과 AME$_{F}$, TME bioassay법을 비교측정한 결과 다음의 성적을 얻었다. 1. TCM 및 IM에 의해 AME 측정시 어분을 제외하곤 각 방법간에는 유의차가 없었으나 (p＞.05) TCM에 의한 측정치는 다소 높은 경향이었다. 2. AME$_{F}$와 AME가 간에는 수수를 제외하고는 유의차 (p＞.05)를 발견할 수 없었으며 이와 관련하여 AME$_{F}$ bioassay를 이용 AME 측정상 문제점을 검토하였다. 3. 옥수수, 수수, 대맥의 AME$_{FC}$, TME치는 AME, AME$_{F}$)에 비하여 유의적(p＜.05)으로 높은 반면 어분과 대두박은 비슷하거나 낮았다. 이러한 사실은 AMF$_{FC}$와 TME측정법은 어분 및 대두박의 AME$_{FC}$나 TME가를 저하시키는 요인이 있음을 지적하는 것이라 하겠다. 4. TME, AME$_{FC}$와 T-AME가를 비교시 옥수수ㆍ수수ㆍ대맥의 TME가는 AME$_{FC}$나T-AME가 보다 유의적(p＜.05)으로 높았으나 반면 어분, 대두박은 현저히 낮았다(p＜.05). 따라서 TME, AME$_{FC}$와 T-AMF 간의 관계는 특히 단백질사료와 같은 각 사료의 종료마다 일정치 않았다.

Two experiments were conducted to determine the additivity of apparent or true digestibility of phosphorus (P) in soybean meal (SBM), peas, faba beans, corn, oats, broken rice meal, rough rice meal, buckwheat, and sorghum for growing pigs. Chromic oxide (0.3%) was used as a digestion marker in both experiments. Each experiment lasted for 12 d, which consisted of a 7-d dietary adaptation period followed by a 5-d fecal collection period. Experiment 1 involved 6 diets: the SBM-based control diet; 4 diets with corn, oats, rough rice meal and broken rice meal substituted for SBM; and an additional diet with a representative mixture of the 5 ingredients. In Experiment 2, 6 diets were prepared similarly, except that the tested ingredients besides SBM were faba beans, peas, buckwheat, and sorghum. In each experiment, six barrows with an initial average individual BW of 20.5 kg were fed one of the six diets according to a $6{\times}6$ Latin square design. The apparent and true P digestibility values for the nine tested ingredients were determined by the substitution method. There were no differences (p>0.05) between the determined and the predicted true P digestibility values for the mixture of ingredients in Experiments 1 and 2. However, the determined and the predicted apparent P digestibility values for the mixture of ingredients differed (p = 0.059) in Experiment 1, but not in Experiment 2. These results indicate that true P digestibility values are additive in ingredients containing low levels of phytate phosphorus and anti-nutritional factors, whereas the apparent P digestibility values are not always additive in single feed ingredients for growing pigs.

Twenty male crossbred calves of about one year of age (average body weight, 196 kg) were distributed in four equal groups following complete randomized design. Wheat bran was supplemented to four different combinations of wheat straw and green fodder (Sorghum vulgare) at 40:60, 30:70, 20:80 and 10:90 ratios (on as fed basis) for the feeding of animals in Group 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The feeding trial was continued for a period of 70 days including one metabolism trial of 6 days collection of feed, faeces and urine sample to determine the intake and utilization of nutrients. The intakes (g/kg $W^{0.75}$) of DM, TDN and CP were $93.0{\pm}1.8$, $55.5{\pm}1.1$ and $9.51{\pm}0.18$ in Group 1; $98.0{\pm}1.8$, $59.6{\pm}1.1$ and $10.33{\pm}0.19$ in Group 2; $98.1{\pm}2.4$, $60.5{\pm}1.5$ and $10.79{\pm}0.26$ in Group 3; and $97.7{\pm}1.7$, $59.1{\pm}1.0$ and $10.78{\pm}0.19$ in Group 4, respectively. The digestibility of nutrients did not differ significantly among the groups. Relatively higher nutrient intake and balances of nitrogen reflected non-significantly high her live weight gain in the later three groups (436, 439 and 464 g, respectively) as compared to Group 1 (400 g). The DM intake remained unchanged by increasing the proportion of green fodder beyond 20:80 ratio and thus was assessed to be satisfactory for optimum productivity in animals.

Allelopathic compounds as naturally occurring herbicide have originally reported from local vegetation since B.C. 300. These compounds are known as secondary plant metabolites which released from plants into the environment often attract or repel, nourish or poison other organisms. In recent, many natural plant allelochemicals be used to attempt to biologically or ecologically control weed among worldwide weed scientists. Some allelochemicals have also used as fungicides, insecticides, and nematodicides, and were less than man-made agrochemicals to damage the global ecosystem. It makes efficient use of resources internal to the farm, relies on a minimum of purchased inputs. Some scientists selected for allelopathic activity when breeding weed-controlling cultivars of rice, sorghum, cucumber, surflower etc. Thus, this paper is focused on allelopathic compounds isolated from cultivated crop with the high potential of prospective herbicides. The most environmentally acceptable and sustainable approach to utilization of allelopathy for weed control is to develop plant cultivars with proven allelopathic characteristics. In rice accessions, there are 60 cultivars/lines which have known as allelopathic activity and some of these cultivars control weed more less 90% within certain radius of activity. These accessions are originated from 15 countries including Korea, Japan, USA, India, Philippines, Indonesia, Laos, Taiwan, Afghanistan, Mali, Pakistan, Colombia, Egypt, China, and Dom. Rep. From these cultivars, the most common allelopathic compounds identified in rice are p-Hydroxybenzoic, Vanillic, p-Coumaric, and Ferulic acids. In addition, allelopathic lines of the following crop have shown inhibition of weed growth : beet (Beta vulgaris), lupin(Lupinus spp.), com(Zea mays), Wheat(Triticum aestivum), oats(Avena spp.) peas(Pisum sativum), barley(Hordeum vulgare), rye(Secale cereale), and cucumber(Cucumis sativus). Thus, future allelopathy research must be designed its potentially phytotoxic propertices and the ecotoxic features of the allelochemicals from release to degradation ; its ecological sustainability, its allelopathic effect in early growth. stages, and selectivity properties in combination with chemical stages, and selectivity properties in combination with chemical concentrations. Also, research approach in allelopathy might be screened for highly allelopathic germplasm collection of crops, the idea being to ultimately transfer this agronomic character into improved cultivars by either conventional breeding or other genetic transfer techniques.

5세대(世代)나 자화수정(自花受精)시켜 육성(育成)한 다수다얼성(多穗多蘖性)의 MET 계통(系統)의 식물학적(植物學的) 특성(特性)을 알고자 미국종(美國種) 일대(一代) 교잡종(交雜種)옥수수와 3개(個)의 수수${\times}$수단그라스 교잡종(交雜種)과 비교(比較) 시험(試驗)한 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 전(全) 공시품종(供試品種)들의 일반적(一般的) 생육상황(生育狀況)은 신개간지(新開墾地)에 가까운 토양관계(土壤關係)로 충분(充分)한 생육(生育)을 얻지 못했다(종실수량(種實收量) 등(等)). 2 생육시기별(生育時期別)로 예취(刈取)하여 단위면적당(單位面積當) MET 계통(系統)의 생초중(生草重)을 비교(比較)하여 본 결과(結果) 비교(比較) 옥수수 품종(品種)을 100%로 하였을 경우(境遇) MET 계통(系統)은 평균(平均) 97.8%로서 10a당(當) 5.652kg였다. 3. 단위면적당(單位面積當) MET 계통(系統)의 건물중(乾物重) 역시 비교품종(比較品種)에 비(比)하여 94.5%로서 10a당(當) 1,602kg이었다. 4. MET 계통(系統)의 특성(特性)은 다분얼(多分蘖), 다수성(多穗性)인 관계(關係)로 생초중(生草重)과 건물중(乾物重) 의 증가(增加)는 경엽(莖葉)의 무게에 기인(基因)하였다. 5. 성장속도(成長速度)를 보면 MET 계통(系統)이 자식계통(自植系統)에서 나타나는 자식열세현상(自殖劣勢現象) 때문에 비교품종(比較品種)인 일대(一代) 잡종(雜種)들에 비(比)하여 매우 저조(低調)하였다(MET의 평균(平均) 초장(草長)은 234.7cm, 그외(外) 교잡종(交雜種)의 평균(平均) 초장(草長)은 250.7cm였다). 6. MET 계통(系統)과 비교(比較)하기 위(爲)해 공시(供試)한 다른 4개품종(個品種)은 모두 미국(美國)에서 널리 재배(栽培)하는 다수성(多收性) 품종(品種)이지만 본(本) 연구(硏究)에서는 흑조위축병(黑條緯縮病)에 매우 약(弱)한 것으로 나타났다(미국종(美國種) 평균(平均) 이병율(罹病率)은 20% 이상(以上), MET 계통(系統)은 5%였다). 7. 종실수량(種實收量)을 보면 MET 계통(系統)이 10a당(當) 390.1kg으로 다른 미국종(美國種)의 평균수량(平均收量) 508.7kg에 비(比)하면 약(約) 76.7% 밖에 안되었다. 그러나 주당(株當) 종실수(種實數)로 환산(換算)하면 1,170개(個)로 미국종(美國種)들의 690개(個) 보다 훨씬 많았다. 이처럼 10a당(當) 종실수량(種實收量)을 무게로 환산(換算)하면 MET 계통(系統)이 적은 이유(理由)는 MET 계통(系統)이 자식계통(自殖系統)과 유사(類似)하기 때문이고 입수(粒數)로 환산(換算)하면 MET가 많은 것은 이 계통(系統)이 소립종(小拉種)(100립종(粒重)=10gr정도(程度))이기 때문이다. 8. 3개(個)의 수수${\times}$수단그라스 교잡종(交雜種)의 청예(靑刈) 수량(收量)을 MET 계통(系統)과 비교(比較)한 결과(結果) 10a당(當) 생초중(生草重)이나 건물중(乾物重)이 모두 MET 계통(系統)과 큰 차이(差異)가 없었다. 9. 따라서 농민(農民)이 재배(栽培)할 교잡종(交雜種) 값이 고가(高價)인 경우(境遇)에 MET 계통(系統)을 청예용(靑刈用)으로 이용(利用)하는 것은 종자대(種子代)의 절감(節減)은 물론(勿論) 단위면적당(單位面積當) 필요(必要)한 종자량(種子量)이 다른 교잡종(交雜種)에 비(比)해 적어 이중(二重)의 효과(效果)를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
