This study was conducted to determine effects of different selenium (Se) sources on performance, carcass characteristics, blood measures (whole blood Se concentration and plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity), and Se concentrations in tissues of finishing Hanwoo steers (Korean native steers). Twenty finishing Hanwoo steers (average body weight=536${\pm}$23.4 kg, average age=approximately 20 months) were allotted to treatments in four groups of five steers per pen for 16 weeks preceding slaughter. Treatments were control (CON), spent mushroom composts from Se-enriched mushrooms (Se-SMC), selenized yeast (Se-Y), and sodium selenite (SS). Dietary Se levels of all treatments except CON were 0.9 mg Se/kg on the dry matter basis. Body weight was measured at the first and final day of trial, and blood samples were collected to analyze whole blood Se concentration and plasma GSH-Px activity at 2, 4, 8, and 16 weeks. At the end of trial, steers were slaughtered to collect muscle and liver samples for their Se analyses, and carcass data were recorded. In terms of dry matter intake, body weight gain and carcass characteristics, no significant differences among treatments were observed. Whole blood Se concentrations were significantly higher (p<0.05) for Se-SMC and Se-Y treatments than for CON at each collection period, with no significant difference between SS and CON. For weeks 2 and 8, there was no significant difference for whole blood Se concentration between Se-SMC and Se-Y, but for weeks 4 and 16, Se-Y treatments were significantly higher (p<0.05) than Se-SMC. No differences were observed for plasma GSH-Px activity between Se-SMC and Se-Y. The Se concentrations in hind leg and liver were significantly different among treatments (p<0.05) and those in both tissues ranked the greatest in Se-Y, followed by Se-SMC, SS, and CON treatments. However, tissue Se concentration for SS was not different from that for CON. These results showed that feeding organic Se sources such as Se-SMC and Se-Y enhanced Se concentration in tissues, while SS, the most common supplement of inorganic Se, was inefficient in Se deposition. Even though Se-Y had a higher Se concentration in tissues than Se-SMC, replacing Se-Y with Se-SMC in diets of beef steers would be an inexpensive way to increase Se concentration in beef.

대구(大邱) 달성중석(達城重石) 폐광산(廢鑛山)에서 유출(流出)되는 유해(有害)한 산성광산(醒性鑛山) 폐수처리(廢水處理)를 위한 인공(人工) 소택지(沼澤池) 방법(方法)을 제시(提示)하였다. 황산염(黃酸鹽) 환원(環元) 박테리아 (SRB)를 이용(利用)한 약 2개월(個月)의 실내실험(室內實驗) 결과(結果) 폐수중(廢水中) 중금속(重金屬) 원소(元素) 제거효율(除去效率)은 Fe, Al, Cd, Cu와 Zn은 99-100%, Mn은 90%이며 pH는 5.12에서 7.60으로 상승(上昇)되었다. 황산염(黃醒鹽) 환원(還元) 박테리아의 먹이인 기질(基質)들 (Substrates)과 달성광산(連城鑛山) 폐수(廢水)의 실험(實驗)에서는 버섯퇴비(堆肥)가 참나무 퇴비(堆肥)보다 11배(倍) 정도(程度) SRB의 영향분(營養分)인 Lactate가 유출(抽出)됨이 밝혀졌다. 황산염(黃酸鹽) 환원(還元) 박테리아 소택지(沼澤池)의 내용물(內容物) 구성(構成)은 다음과 같다; 1) 최하부(最下部)에 25cm 높이의 고품질(高品質) 석회석(石灰石)(직경(直徑) 5cm)을 채운다 : 2) 70% 참나무 퇴비(堆肥)와 30% 버섯 퇴비(堆肥)의 혼합퇴비(混合堆肥)와 황산염(黃酸鹽) 환원(還元) 박테리아 입자(粒子)들을 잘 섞어서 25cm 높이로 석회암층(石灰岩層)위에 둔다 : 3) 혼합퇴비(混合堆肥)에 의한 석회암(石灰岩) 사이의 간극축소(間隙縮小)를 막기 위하여 석회암층(石灰岩層)과 혼합퇴비(混合堆肥) 중간(中間)에 Geotextile을 깔아둔다. 실제(實際) 현장적용(現場適用)을 위(爲)한 소택지(沼澤池) 크기는 중금속(重金屬) 부하량(負荷量)과 투수율(透水率) 에 따라서 계산(計算)한 결과(結果)-1편(片)은 $15m{\times}15m{\times}1m$, -2편(片)은 $5.3m{\times}5.5m{\times}1m$, 그리고 -3편(片) 하부(下部)에 $52m{\times}52m{\times}1m$임이 밝혀졌다. 그러나, -3편(片)의 경우는 소택지(沼澤池)가 너무 크므로 동일(同一) 소택지(沼澤池) 5~15개(個)의 작은 cell들로 분리함이 좋다.
