The use of practical management factors to maximize pig health improvement cannot guarantee freedom from diseases. Moreover, because of health safety concerns, the use of antibiotics has been restricted in livestock, including pigs. Therefore, the swine industry has been looking for various alternatives to antibiotics to improve pig's health and performance. Clay is a dietary factor generally accepted for improving pig health. It is a naturally occurring material and is primarily composed of fine-grained minerals. It has a specific structure with polar attraction. Because of this structure, clay has the ability to lose or gain water reversibly. In addition, clay has beneficial physiological activities. First, clay has anti-diarrheic and antibacterial effects by penetrating the cell wall of bacteria or inhibiting their metabolism. Second, it can protect the intestinal tract by absorbing toxins, bacteria, or even viruses. When added to the diet, clay has also been known to bind some mycotoxins, which are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi, namely in cereal grains. Those beneficial effects of clay can improve pigs' health and performance by reducing pathogenic bacteria, especially pathogenic Escherichia coli, in the intestinal tract. Therefore, it is suggested that clay has a remarkable potential as an antibiotics alternative.

본 시험은 인삼부산물 급여 유무에 따른 돼지 생산성, 혈액, 도체 및 육질 특성에 관하여 조사하였다. 시험 동물은 2원 교잡종(LandraceYorkshire) 육성－비육돈 24두를 공시하였으며 개시 체중은 65.81±2.02kg이였다. 기초 사료를 대조구(CON)로 설정하였고, 처리구(GBP)은 인삼 부산물을 기초사료의 lupin 2.5%로 대체하였다. 시험구는 완전임의 배치법으로 암·수 동일한 비율로 각 처리구당 4마리씩 3반복 실시하였다. 생산성에서 일당사료섭취량은 GBP가 CON 보다 유의적으로 낮았다(P<0.0001). 혈장의 생화학적 조성에서는 total protein, blood urea nitrogen, glucose, albumin, calcium 그리고 inorganic phosphate는 각각 GBP가 CON 보다 유의적으로 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 도체 및 육질 특성은 GBP 및 CON간에 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 돈육의 총 ginsenoside 함량은 GBP가 CON 보다 유의적으로 높은 함량을 나타내었고 TBRAs는 저장 6일과 13일에 GBP가 CON 보다 유의적으로 낮았다. 이상의 시험 결과를 종합하면, 인삼부산물 급여는 혈장의 화학적 조성의 변화를 가져왔고, 돈육의 ginsenoside의 함량을 증가시키고 지방산패도를 감소시켰는데 이 사실은 인삼부산물이 돼지의 사료첨가제로 이용될 수 있는 가능성을 나타낸다.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate convolutional neural network models and computer vision techniques for the classification of swine posture with high accuracy and to use the derived result in the investigation of the effect of dietary fiber level on the behavioral characteristics of the pregnant sow under low and high ambient temperatures during the last stage of gestation. A total of 27 crossbred sows (Yorkshire × Landrace; average body weight, 192.2 ± 4.8 kg) were assigned to three treatments in a randomized complete block design during the last stage of gestation (days 90 to 114). The sows in group 1 were fed a 3% fiber diet under neutral ambient temperature; the sows in group 2 were fed a diet with 3% fiber under high ambient temperature (HT); the sows in group 3 were fed a 6% fiber diet under HT. Eight popular deep learning-based feature extraction frameworks (DenseNet121, DenseNet201, InceptionResNetV2, InceptionV3, MobileNet, VGG16, VGG19, and Xception) used for automatic swine posture classification were selected and compared using the swine posture image dataset that was constructed under real swine farm conditions. The neural network models showed excellent performance on previously unseen data (ability to generalize). The DenseNet121 feature extractor achieved the best performance with 99.83% accuracy, and both DenseNet201 and MobileNet showed an accuracy of 99.77% for the classification of the image dataset. The behavior of sows classified by the DenseNet121 feature extractor showed that the HT in our study reduced (p < 0.05) the standing behavior of sows and also has a tendency to increase (p = 0.082) lying behavior. High dietary fiber treatment tended to increase (p = 0.064) lying and decrease (p < 0.05) the standing behavior of sows, but there was no change in sitting under HT conditions.

The swine waste industry is growing rapidly along with the world human population. The trend is toward more concentrated piggeries with numbers of herds in the thousands. Associated with these increased herds are large quantities of wastes, including organic matter, inorganic nutrients, and gaseous emissions. The trend in swine waste management is toward treatment of these wastes to minimize negative impact on the health and comfort of workers and animals and the atmosphere, water, and soil environments. Treatment of these wastes has traditionally involved land application, lagoons, oxidation ditches, and conventional batch and continuously stirred reactor designs. More sophisticated treatment systems are being implemented, involving advanced anaerobic digester designs, integrated with solids separation, aerobic polishing of digester effluents, and biological nutrient removal. This review discusses the present and future role of anaerobic processes in piggery waste treatment with emphasis on reactor design, operating and performance parameters, and effluent processing.

The effect of relative humidity in swine house on swin pleuropneumonia was examined in piglets experimentally infected with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5. A total of 20 piglet were grown under 30~40%, 41~50%, 51~64% and 65~80% relative humidity chambers after intratracheal inoculation of A pleuropneumoniae. Characteristic fibrinous pleuropneumonia was observed in the pigs grown at the low relative humidity groups. The detailed results were as follows : 1. Growth performance and environment conditions were lower than high relative humidity groups. 2. Characteristic histopathological findings were fibrinous pleuritis and pneumonia accompanied congestion, hemorrhage, thrombosis and edematous change. 3. Antigenic distribution of inoculated bacterium was found mainly in alveolar macrophages or accumulated foci of macrophages adjacent to necrotic area. 4. Characteristic electron microscopic findings were proliferation of type II pneumocyte with increased lamella bodies and activated alveolar macrophages with pseudopods and widening of interstitium.

The effects of turning frequency of in-vessel composting on ammonia emissions during composting of separated solids from swine slurry/sawdust mixtures and performance of biofiltration using the chicken manure compost were investigated. Separated solids from swine manure amended with sawdust was composted in a 226 L laboratory-scale in-vessel reactors under various turning frequency and continuous airflow (0.6 L/min.kg.dm) for three weeks. Three laboratory-scale manure compost biofilters were built to treat effluent gas from the composting of separated solid from swine manure amened with sawdust process. These experiments were continued over a period of three weeks. The composting of separated solid swine manure amended with sawdust and manure compost biofiltration system were evaluated to determine the turning frequency type that would be adequate for the rate of decomposition and compost odour reduction. The compost odour cleaning was measured based on ammonia gas concentration before and after passing through the manure compost biofilter. The average ammonia odor reduction in the manure compost biofilter was 96.9 % at R1 (no turning), 99.4 % at R2(once a day turning) and 89.0 % at R3(twice a day turning), respectively. The efficiency of ammonia reduction was mainly influenced by the turning frequency.

The performance of two serial completely stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) for treatment of swine manure (SM) with Chinese cabbage silage (CCS) was studied. The two CSTRs of 41 liters each were connected in series and first reactor was fed swine manure with Chinese cabbage silage in 3:1 proportion by VS basis. The FOS/TAC, methane content (%) and pH were utilized as the parameters for the digester stability control. The FOS/TAC value was found to be effective indicator for instant digester condition. The stability of reactors can be obtained with the FOS/TAC value up to 1.0 with accumulation of FOS value below 10,000 mg/L. Material exchange method was effective in transferring the excess volatile fatty acids (VFA) from the first reactor to the second one and maintaining stability in both the reactors. The biogas yield and the methane yield was 0.55-0.61 and 0.41-0.42 L/g VS fed, respectively, at organic loading rate (OLR) of 2.2-2.6 g VS/L with total HRT of 32 days.

The present paper gives a general overview on amino acid nutrition mainly focused on the concept of ideal protein and amino acid requirements in swine and poultry. Also, the nutritional, economic and environmental roles of synthetic amino acids are presented. A special emphasis has been given to the protein sparing effect by the supplementation of synthetic amino acids into diet and to the effect of this supplementation on growth performance and reduction of environmental pollutants in swine and poultry manure. It is concluded that the supplementation of limited amounts of synthetic amino acids (0.1 to 0.3%) to diets for swine and poultry could spare 2 to 3 percentage units of dietary protein and substantially reduce nutrient excretion, especially nitrogen. Immunocompetency as affected by amino acid nutrition is also introduced and the importance of threonine for the synthesis of immunoproteins in colostrum and milk to maintain piglets' health and intestinal integrity has been emphasized. Finally, some speculation on the future of global amino acids market is presented in conclusion.

본 연구는 비육돈 사료내 lysine 및 leucine 수준과 그들간의 상호작용이 성장 및 육질특성에 미치는 효과를 구명하기 위하여 수행하였다. 공시동물은 일령이 비슷하고 체중이 75.5±2kg인 3원교잡종 36두를 공시하였다. 처리구는 사료 중 lysine 함량 2수준(0.45%, 0.75%)과 leucine 함량 3수준(1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%)의 2×3 요인실험으로, 처리 당 3반복, 반복당 2두씩 완전임의배치하였다. 일당증체량은 요인 및 처리간 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 일당사료섭취량 및 사료요구율은 lysine 0.45% 수준의 사료를 섭취한 시험구가 lysine 0.75% 수준의 사료를 섭취한 시험구보다 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05). 거래 정육율은 lysine 0.45% 수준의 사료를 섭취한 시험구가 lysine 0.75% 수준의 사료를 섭취한 시험구보다 유의적으로 낮았으나(P<0.05), 기타 도체특성에서는 요인 및 처리간 차이를 보이지 않았다. 상강도(marbling score)는 lysine 0.45% 수준의 사료를 섭취한 시험구가 lysine 0.75% 수준의 사료를 섭취한 시험구보다 유의적으로 높았으나(P<0.05), 기타 육질특성에서는 요인 및 처리간 차이를 보이지 않았다. Leucine 수준에 따른 성장, 도체 및 육질특성에 있어 황색도를 나타내는 Hunter b* 값이 leucine 수준이 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 높게 나타났으나(P<0.05), 기타 조사항목에서는 요인 및 처리간 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론적으로 비육후기에 저 lysine 사료를 급여 시 기호성이 높은 고 상강도의 돈육생산이 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 고 leucine 사료는 근내지방이나 상강도를 증가시키지 않는다.

우리흑돈(Woori black pig, W)은 재래흑돼지와 두록(Duroc, D)을 이용하여 재래흑돼지의 낮은 경제적 특성을 개선시키기 위해 국립축산과학원에서 개발한 신품종이다. 따라서 본 연구는 교배 종료종모돈으로써 우리흑돈이 삼원교잡종의 성장, 체형 및 부분육 생산수율에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 총 32두의 삼원교잡종을 교배 종료 종모돈에 기반하여 2처리구로 완전임의 배치하였다. 교배 종료종모돈으로 두록과 우리흑돈에 기반한 2개의 다른 삼원교잡종은 LYD[(Landrace×Yorkshire)×Duroc]와 LYW[(Landrace×Yorkshire)×Woori black pig]이였다. 본 연구는 시험 개시 후 53일 동안 수행되었다. 우리흑돈과 두록 종모돈은 삼원교잡종의 53일 체중, 총증체량, 일당증체량 및 90 kg 체중 도달일령에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 체장, 체고 및 흉심에 차이가 발견되지 않았으나, 등지방두께에서 LYD(17.29 mm)와 LYW(18.96 mm) 간의 유의적인 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). LYW 삼원교잡종의 등심수율(13.11%)이 LYD(13.85%)에 비해 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). LYW의 목심 수율(8.99%)은 LYD(8.21%)에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 본 연구결과, 우리흑돈은 삼원교잡종의 사양성적, 체형 및 생산수율에 부정적인 영향을 미치지 않으며, 교배 종료종모돈으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
