The acid pretreatment of collagen molecules disrupts their crosslinks and assists in the release of acid-soluble proteins, fats, and other components. Generally, to achieve optimum extraction efficiency, strong acids may be used at a lower acid concentration compared to weak acids. This study aimed to determine the yield and physicochemical properties of gelatins extracted from buffalo hides pretreated with different acids. Hides were extracted with hydrochloric, citric, and acetic acids at concentrations of 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, and 1.5 M. A completely randomized design and the least significant difference test were used in the experimental design, and all measurements were performed in triplicate. The highest yield (29.17%) was obtained from pretreatment with 0.9 M HCl. The gel strength did not differ significantly (p>0.05) according to acid type (280.26-259.62 g Bloom), and the highest viscosity was obtained from the 0.6 M citric acid pretreatment. All the gelatins contained ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-chain components and several degraded peptides (24-66 kDa). The color and Fourier-transform infrared spectrum of the gelatin extracted using 0.9 M HCl were similar to those of commercial bovine skin gelatin. In general, the physicochemical properties of the gelatin complied with the industry standard set by the Gelatin Manufacturers Institute of America, revealing that buffalo hide could serve as a potential alternative source of gelatin.

Many methods have been explored to increase the palatability of pine (Pinus merkusii), the most common wood used for termite baiting. However, because of the undersupply of pine in Indonesia, it is crucial to vary the wood species for termite baiting and look for potential alternatives. Furthermore, various studies have shown that baiting time influences the intensity and pattern of termite attacks. Therefore, the present research aimed to study the preferences of subterranean termites and find the ideal baiting time among community wood species from Bogor, West Java, as a baiting alternative to pine. The woods tested were Acacia mangium (acacia), Falcataria moluccana (sengon), Anthocephalus cadamba (jabon), Maesopsis eminii (manii), Swietenia mahagoni (mahogany), Hevea brasiliensis (rubberwood), and P. merkusii (pine). Field tests were carried out based on the American Society for Testing and Materials D 1758-06 at the Arboretum, Faculty of Forestry and Environment, IPB University, with a baiting time of one to six months. The results led to the identification of four species of termites, namely Microtermes sp., Macrotermes sp., Shedorhinotermes sp., and Capritermes sp.. The frequency of termite attacks on the test site reached 93.1%. Rubberwood was the most potential wood bait for subterranean termites, indicated by the highest average weight loss value (65.8%) with a shorter optimal baiting time (up to one month) than that of other tested woods.

Objective: The growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF8) gene plays a key role in bone formation, resorption, and skeletal muscle development in mammals. Here, we studied the genetic variants of GDF8 and their contribution to body conformation traits in Chinese Dabieshan cattle. Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in the bovine GDF8 gene by DNA sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis, motif analysis, and genetic diversity analysis were conducted using bioinformatics software. Association analysis between five SNPs, haplotype combinations, and body conformation traits was conducted in 380 individuals. Results: The GDF8 was highly conserved in seven species, and the GDF8 sequence of cattle was most similar to the sequences of sheep and goat based on the phylogenetic analysis. The motif analysis showed that there were 12 significant motifs in GDF8. Genetic diversity analysis indicated that the polymorphism information content of the five studied SNPs was within 0.25 to 0.5. Haplotype analysis revealed a total of 12 different haplotypes and those with a frequency of <0.05 were excluded. Linkage disequilibrium analysis showed a strong linkage (r²>0.330) between the following SNPs: g.5070C>A, g.5076T>C, and g.5148A>C. Association analysis indicated these five SNPs were associated with some of the body conformation traits (p<0.05), and the animals with haplotype combination H1H1 (-GGGG CCTTAA-) had greater wither height, hip height, heart girth, abdominal girth, and pin bone width than the other (p<0.05) Dabieshan cattle. Conclusion: Overall, our results indicate that the genetic variants of GDF8 affected the body conformation traits of Chinese Dabieshan cattle, and the GDF8 gene could make a strong candidate gene in Dabieshan cattle breeding programs.

Microorganisms were isolated from earthworm intestine and examined for their ability to degrade 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (MNP), a main degradation product of the insecticide fenitrothion. An isolate that showed the best degradation of MNP was selected for further study. The 16S rRNA analysis showed that the isolate belongs to the genus of Burkholderia, close to phenanthrene-degrading Burkholderia sp. S4.9, and is named Burkholderia sp. SH-1. When time-course degradation of MNP by SH-1 was examined by high performance liquid chromatographic analysis, almost complete degradation of MNP was observed within 26 h. Colony forming unit value assays indicated that the isolate SH-1 was capable of utilizing MNP as a sole carbon source. SH-1 could also degrade p-nitrophenol (PNP) but could not degrade ortho-substituted nitroaromatics such as 2,4-, 2,6- and 2,5-dinitrophenol. Catechol was detected as the main degration product of MNP and PNP. SH-1 was also found in the soil from which earthworms were obtained. These results suggest that the dispersal of Burkholderia sp. SH-1 into different environment with the aid of earthworms is likely to play a role in bioremediation of the soil contaminated with MNP.

The objective of this study is to examine the effects of consumer beliefs regarding three food certifications on their behavioral intention and the behavioral intention biases to purchase (purchasing intention biases) certified agricultural products as predicted by a subjective probability model. The food certifications used for this study are 'Organic food', 'Traceability system of food products,' and 'Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)'. Tofu (bean curd) was selected as being representative of agricultural food products, for the purposes of this study. In 2016, we surveyed 243 consumers regarding the strength of their belief regarding their prior beliefs relative to each certification, as well as the strength of their intention to purchase certified tofu based on their belief strengths for this study. The study resulted in the following findings: Firstly, consumers hold more than two different prior beliefs for each of the three certifications included in this study. Consumers' prior beliefs regarding these certifications have an impact on their consideration as to whether they plan to buy those certified agricultural products. Secondly, consumers try to persuade themselves to ensure that their particular belief about the product's certification could lead to a purchasing decision regarding that agricultural product.

Water is an essential resource for human survival. According to the OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050, rapid industrialization and a global population increase by approximately two billion will likely increase global water use by 55% in 2050. However, water depletion has been getting worse than before and has been happening more quickly, as Earth's water resources are limited. The present study proposes water management measures by using the virtual water theory which enables water consumption measurement and the confirmation and recognition of water scarcity problems, and will support the development of counter-measures. As a method for estimating the value of agricultural water, virtual water theory was used to calculate the amount of agricultural water input for domestic rice and to apply prices of agricultural water in the United States and China to Korean water prices. When the Chinese price was applied to Korean water prices, the value of agricultural water represented 0.3% of the Korean rice producer's price. When the US price was applied to Korean water prices, the value of agricultural water represented 1.6% of the domestic rice producer's price. The study exposes the percentage of the value of agricultural water in agricultural product prices, as well as how this scare resource may affect future prices. In the future, if there are water charges to effectively manage agricultural water, this study, which uses the virtual water theory, can be used as a preliminary research.

본 연구에서는 소와 조사료로 이용되고 있는 볏짚의 농약잔류량 모니터링 결과 검출된 edifenphos와 tricyclazole에 대해 확률적 접근법을 이용해 축산물 중 잔류하는 농약의 우리나라 국민 전체에 대한 노출량을 예측하고 ADI와 비교한 위해성평가를 수행하였다. 평가 결과 소부산물을 간으로만 섭취할 경우 전체인구의 edifenphos 평균 노출량은 ADI대비 0.027%로 매우 낮았으며 $99%^{th}$에서도 0.034% 수준으로 안전하였다. 연령층 별로 볼 때 부산물의 섭취량이 매우 낮은 1~6세가 가장 안전하였으며 부산물의 섭취가 많은 19~29세의 평균 노출량이 ADI대비 0.04%로 상대적으로 높았으나 이 또한 매우 낮은 수준으로 소부산물 섭취를 통한 edifenphos의 위해성은 모든 연령층에서 낮은 것으로 평가되었다. Tricyclazole은 볏짚에 잔류하는 수준이 낮으므로 간 및 신장을 포함한 소부산물 중 잔류량이 음의 값으로 계산되어, 소부산물 중 농약잔류량을 정량한계의 1/2을 적용하여 점추정으로 평가하였다. 소부산물 섭취에 의한 전체인구의 tricyclazole 평균 노출량은 ADI대비 0.0006%로 매우 낮았으며 $99%^{th}$에서도 0.0007%로 아주 미미한 수준이었다. 연령층 별 tricyclazole의 ADI대비 노출량은 $99%^{th}$에서도 1~2세의 0.0003%부터 19~29세의 0.0013%까지 분포하여 소부산물 섭취를 통한 tricyclazole의 위해성은 모든 연령층에서 매우 낮은 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구에서는 바이오매스자원별 실태 및 동태적 변화를 알아보기 쉽게 시간적 공간적인 분포와 추세를 시각화하여 주제별 분포지도를 작성하였다. 분뇨 배출량은 축종별 사육두수에 따른 원단위 배출량을 적용하여 계산하였다. 전국 가축분뇨배출량 지도를 작성하여 분석해본 결과 경기남부 지역과 충청남도 북부 지역에서 분뇨배출량이 많이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었고, 시군구 단위의 조사에서도 비슷한 결과가 나타났다. 또한 음식물 폐기물 폐수발생량, 음식물 쓰레기 매립, 재활용 분포지도에서는 수도권지역이 공공시설 및 민간시설 모두 음식물 폐기물 폐수발생량이 높게 나타났고, 민간시설 부분에서는 경상도 일원이 폐수발생량이 높았다. 강원도, 전남 지역에서는 상대적으로 음식물 쓰레기 재활용 분포도가 높게 나타났다. 바이오매스자원으로 활용가치가 높은 농업부산물인 볏짚 생산량 분포도를 시 군 단위로 작성하였는데 볏짚 생산량이 많은 곡창 지역의 경우 바이오에너지로 활용하는 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다고 판단된다. 이들 결과를 통해 바이오매스 발생원별 분포지도는 정책입안자, 농민, 일반인에게 바이오매스 자원에 대한 정보를 가시적으로 전달할 수 있고, 친환경 농업정책 추진과 바이오 에너지 이용 정책 자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 생각된다.
