Domestic ruminant animals are reared in diverse production systems, ranging from extensive systems under semi-arid and tropical conditions with poor feed resources to intensive systems in temperate and cold areas with high quality feed. Nitrogen (N) recycling between the body and gut of ruminants plays a key role in the adaptation to such diverse nutritional conditions. Ammonia and microbial protein produced in the gut and urea synthesized in the liver are major players in N-recycling transactions. In this review, we focus on the physiological factors affecting urea production and recycling. Sheep and buffalo probably have higher abilities to reabsorb urea from the kidney compared with cattle. This affects the degree of urea-N recycling between the body and gut at both low and high N intakes. The synthesis and gut entry of urea also differs between cattle bred for either dairy or beef production. Lactating dairy cows show a higher gut entry of urea compared with growing cattle. The synthesis and recycling of urea dramatically increases after weaning, so that the functional development of the rumen exerts an essential role in N transactions. Furthermore, high ambient temperature increases urea production but reduces urea gut entry. An increase in total urea flux, caused by the return to the ornithine cycle from the gut entry, is considered to serve as a labile N pool in the whole body to permit metabolic plasticity under a variety of physiological, environmental and nutritional conditions.

Eighteen Suffolk wether lambs (BW = 24 kg) were chronically exposed to temperatures of cold (2$^{\circ}C$) or warm (22$^{\circ}C$). The experimental design consisted of a 2${\times}$3 factorial with a single crossover of environment treatment. The sheep were closely shorn and were housed in individual metabolic crates in controlled environment rooms. Sheep consumed pelleted diets ad libitum, which consisted of mainly barley grain and brome grass, and diets contained 7, 11 or 14% crude protein (CP). Animals were catheterized via one jugular vein with a PVC catheter and received a single injection of 60-65 Ci of $^{14}$C]urea. Plasma urea-N (PUN), urinary urea (UU), and carbon specific radioactivity were measured. Urea metabolism was not affected by environment. Percent urea recycling and urea space clearance were highest (p<0.05) on the low nitrogen diet. Urea pool was increased (p<0.10) for the 14% CP diet. Both UU and PUN concentration were positively related (p<0.01) with diet CP content. Therefore, dietary CP content significantly influenced urea metabolism, however, cold exposure did not alter those parameters.

The production of concentrated urine is achieved by countercurrent multiplication in the renal medulla. The single effect of the outer medulla is the active NaCl reabsorption in the thick ascending limb, while the single effect of the inner medulla is the passive efflux of NaCl through the thin ascending limb. The passive mechanism in the inner medulla requires a high interstitial urea concentration which is maintained by intrarenal recycling of urea. During the past decade, many transport proteins involved in the urine concentrating mechanism have been cloned, which has enabled us to understand the countercurrent multiplication mechanism on a molecular basis. This review will summarize the locations and functions of the renal medullary transport proteins, and the recent insights that have been acquired into the long term regulation of urea transporters.

가축분뇨의 요소에서 유래하는 암모니아는 미세먼지(PM2.5) 생성의 주요 전구체로 작용하여 대기질을 저하시키고 공중 보건에 유해한 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 Acetohydroxamic acid(AHA)의 주입에 따른 요소로부터 암모니아 전환의 억제에 대한 효과를 평가하는 것이었다. 실험은 다양한 요소 농도(500-4,000 mg Urea-N/L), AHA 농도(0-4,000 mg AHA/L), pH(pH 6-10) 및 온도(10-35℃)범위에서 수행되었다. 그 결과 AHA 농도가 높을수록 Urease 억제 효율이 증가함을 보여주었다. 그러나 특정 Urease 억제 활성은 pH가 높을수록 감소하여 pH 6에서 867.1±6.7 Unit/g AHA, pH 10에서 1,167.9±17.4 Unit/g AHA를 나타냈다. AHA와 대조군 모두에서 높은 온도에서 요소분해효소 억제 효율이 감소됨을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과를 통해 AHA가 가축분뇨 관리에서 암모니아 배출을 줄이기 위한 요소분해효소 억제제로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

생분해성 중합체 코팅 요소는 질소 용출을 제어하면서, 질소이용 효율을 극대화하며 농업생태계의 비점오염원을 줄여주는 역할을 한다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 생분해성 중합체 혼합물을 이용한 코팅 요소의 용출 패턴과 온실가스 배출량을 구명하는 것이었다. 처리내용은 속효성 비료인 요소를 대조구, 난분해성 코팅 요소(NBCF), 생분해 완효성 코팅 요소(NB60)와 생분해성 완효성 코팅 요소(MDS)를 토양에 혼합한 4가지 수준으로 구성하였다. 침출수에 대한 최대 총 질소 누적 농도는 NBCF가 NB60보다 33% 높았으며, NB60이 NBCF 보다 최대 용출 기간은 10일 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 누적 총 질소 및 NO₃-N의 용출 패턴에서 NB60과 NBCF는 일차 직선형태로 동일하였지만, 대조구와 MDS는 Sigmoid curves 형태로 누적 용출 농도는 MDS가 대조구보다 높게 나타났다. 생분해성 코팅 요소의 온실가스 발생량을 살펴보면, CH₄의 발생량은 대조구 대비 NBCF, NB60, MDS 각각 0.38%, 11.36%, 5.91% 증가하였고, 또한 N₂O의 발생량은 대조구 대비 각각 50.5%, 32.4%, 58.8% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 생분해 완효성 코팅 요소는 비료 이용성을 감안하여 포장에 시용할 경우 비료 시용량뿐만 아니라 농업생태계 비점 오염원을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The feasibility of HWS for agricultural use was analyzed through a crop cultivation test to utilize the hydroponic waste solution (HWS) generated from the nutriculture greenhouse. The fertilizing effect of HWS was assessed on the basis of the inorganic nitrogen (N) mostly existed in HWSs, and nitrogen (urea) fertilizer. Lettuce was selected as the target crop influenced by the soil treatment and also for the crop cultivation test. Thus, the change in growth characteristics of lettuce and that in chemical characteristics of the soil were investigated. In terms of the growth of lettuce, the C control group with 70% nitrogen (urea) fertilizer and 30% HWS and the D control group with 50% nitrogen (urea) fertilizer and 50% HWS were more effective than the practice control group (B) with 100% nitrogen (urea) fertilizer. The results of this study confirmed the combined applicability of the chemical fertilizer and HWS for crop cultivation. Because NO₃-N present in HWS has a high possibility of leaching into the soil, its applicability as a fertilizer has been considered to be relatively low in Korea. However, if an appropriate mixing ratio of urea fertilizer and HWS could be applied, the problems associated with leaching of nitrate nitrogen could be reduced with beneficial effects on crop cultivation. Thus, future studies are required on the treatment effect of HWS with repeated cultivation, impact assessment on the surrounding environment, and appropriate fertilization methods using nitrogen (urea) fertilizer and HWS. These studies would facilitate the sustainable recycling of HWS.

The present experiment was carried out to study the utilization of glucose in the mammary gland of crossbred Holstein cattle during feeding with different types of roughage. Sixteen first lactating crossbred Holstein cattle which comprised eight animals of two breed types, Holstein Friesian${\times}$Red Sindhi ($50{\times}50=50%$ HF) and Holstein Friesian${\times}$Red Sindhi ($87.5{\times}12.5=87.5%$ HF). They were divided into four groups of 4 animals each of the same breed. The utilization of glucose in the mammary gland was determined by measuring rates of glucose uptake and the incorporation of glucose into milk components in both groups of 50% HF and 87.5% HF animals feeding on either hay or urea treated rice straw. In early lactation, there were no significant differences of the total glucose entry rate and glucose carbon recycling among groups of crossbred animals feeding on either hay or urea treated rice straw. During lactation advance, the total glucose turnover rates and recycling of carbon glucose of crossbred HF animals feeding on urea treated rice straw were markedly higher than those of crossbred HF animals feeding on hay as roughage, whereas there were no significant changes for both groups of crossbred animals feeding on hay. The percentages and values of non-mammary glucose utilization showed an increase during lactation advance in the same group of both 50% HF and 87.5% HF animals. The percentage of glucose uptake for utilization in the synthesis of milk lactose by the mammary gland was approximately 62% for both groups of 87.5% HF and by approximately 55% for both groups of 50% HF animals feeding on either hay or urea treated rice straw. Intracellular glucose 6-phosphate metabolized via the pentose phosphate pathway accounted for the NADPH (reducing equivalent) of fatty acid synthesis in the mammary gland being higher in 87.5% HF animals during mid-lactation. A large proportion of metabolism of glucose via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway in the mammary gland was more apparent in both groups of 50% HF animals than those of 87.5 % HF animals during early and mid-lactation while it markedly increased for both groups of 87.5% HF animals during late lactation. It can be concluded that utilization of glucose in the mammary gland occurs in a different manner for 50% HF and 87.5% HF animals feeding on either hay or urea treated rice straw. The glucose utilization for biosynthetic pathways in the mammary gland of 50% HF animals is maintained in a similar pattern throughout the periods of lactation. A poorer lactation persistency in both groups of 87.5% HF animals occurs during lactation advance, which is related to a decrease in the lactose biosynthetic pathway.

For the probiotic feed production, aerobic liquid fermentation of pulverized food wastes was attempted with a yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus. After grinding finely, optimal fermentation conditions of the substrate was investigated by shaking culture. The most active growth of the yeast was shown at solid content of 10%. The proper addition of urea(0.5g/l), o-phosphate(0.4g/l), molasses(4g/l), and yeast extract (1g/1) increased cell growth rate and viable cell count. For optimizing, the nutrients were all added to substrate and fermentation was carried in 2 litre jar fermenter. For the stimulation of hydrolyzing enzyme excretion, mixed culture with Aspersillus oryzae was also conducted. In 12 hours of fermentation, viable cell count of the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus amounted to the number of 1.4 $\times$10$^{10}$ /1 in the culture medium.

폴리우레탄 폼은 반복된 우레탄과 우레아 그룹을 가지고 있는 고분자 물질이다. 연질 폴리우레탄 폼을 이루고 있는 이 두 그룹들은 반응온도 $200^{\circ}C$, 글리콜, 초산 칼륨 촉매 존재 하에서 가열시키면 에스테르교환반응에 의해 분해되어 액상의 생성물을 형성한다. GPC, IR 분석을 이용한 생성물의 분자량과 성분 함량분포 측정을 통하여 촉매글리콜분해 반응기구를 조사하였다. 폴리우레탄 폼의 에스테르교환 반응에서는 우레탄 그룹이 우레아 그룹의 분해 반응속도보다 빨랐다. 이온화 경향이 큰 potassium acetate 촉매를 사용함으로써 alkoxide의 친핵성이 증진되어 에스테르교환 반응속도를 촉진시킴을 알 수 있다. 또한, potassium acetate와 strontium acetate 촉매를 사용한 촉매글리콜분해반응은 서로 같은 반응경로로 반응이 진행되지만 반응속도의 차이로 생성물을 구성하는 성분의 함량이 다름을 알 수 있었다.
