The aim of this study was to investigate adulteration of caprine milk products by bovine milk using biomolecular techniques with bovine-specific primers for the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR assays were applied to caprine milk products including infant formula, city milk, and fermented milk. The results indicated that six out of the eight caprine infant formula products tested contained bovine milk components. In addition, two of the three tested caprine city milk products and two caprine fermented milk products were shown to be adulterated with bovine milk. Conventional PCR results corroborated with results obtained by real-time PCR. This study demonstrates that DNA-based species identification procedures would be useful and applicable in routine examinations of the dairy industry to ensure the quality and safety of dairy foods.

Two experiments were conducted to study the production of in vitro fertilized bovine embryos and the viability of blastocysts cryopreserved by vitrification. In experiment 1, production rate of in vitro matured bovine oocytes after fertilization in medium containing bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOEC), cumulus cells and granulosa cells to blastocysts were 18.4, 14.6 and 13.1%, respectively. Developmental percentages of blastocysts produced at day 6, 7 and 8 were 8.5, 10.6 and 15.2% respectively. Hatching rate of bovine embryos produced was 60.0%. In experiment 2, post-thawed surviving embryos in a vitrification solution consisting of 7.15M ethylene glycol, 2.5 mM ficoll and 0.3 M sucrose were 36.4% (56/154). Also, survival rate of bovine embryos after exposed to vitrification solution at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 min were 84.0, 88.0, 71.0, 48.0 and 24.0% respectively.

We prepared the polyclonal antibody anti-$20{\alpha}$-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD) against the recombinant full-length protein bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD in Escherichia coli. The specificity of anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD was demonstrated using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with recombinant bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD and bovine placental tissues. According to western blot analysis, anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD specifically recognizes the 37-kDa protein bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD. The protein is not present in untransfected CHO cells. Anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD also recognizes a specific protein in the ovaries and placenta of other animals. Immunostaining was used to detect expression of bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD protein in the cultured luteal cells during the estrous cycle later.

This study was conducted to investigate the survival and hatching rates after refrozen-thawed bovine IVF blastocysts. The survival rates after refrozen-thawed bovine IVF blastocysts produced on day 7, day 8 and day 9, were 66.6%(16/24), 62.5%(15/24) and 65.3%(17/26), respectively. The survival and hatching rates after the first frozen-thawed bovine JVF blastocysts were 90.0%(27 /30) and 70.0%(21 /30), but in refrozen-thawed bovine IVF blastocysts were 66.2%(49 /74) and 45.9%(34 /74), respectively. The results of this study were suggest that refrozen-thawed bovine IVF embryos had survival ability.

This study investigated the effects of heat-treated and non-heat-treated bovine lactoferrin on the growth of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris JCM 20076. The addition of heat-treated and non-heat-treated bovine lactoferrin in adjusted MRS medium stimulated the growth of Lc. cremoris JCM 20076. Heat-treated bovine lactoferrin had a greater impact on the growth of Lc. cremoris JCM 20076 compared to that with non-heat-treated bovine lactoferrin. Bovine lactoferrin heated at $65^{\circ}C$ for 30 min stimulated the growth of the bacteria more than that heated at $80^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. Furthermore, the growth of Lc. cremoris JCM 20076 increased substantially with heat-treated bovine lactoferrin at a concentration of 1 mg/mL.

The technique for maturation of follicular oocyte has been devised to provide such a low cost and in ptentifut number supply of bovine embryo. Some of problems concerning production of bovine embtyo in vitro were discussed in this paper. Bovine follicular oocytes cultured in vitro achieved normal fertilization but cleavage rates to blastocyst were low compared to the oocyte matured in vivo. It has been concluded that a deficient cytoplasmic maturation occurs in the oocytes matured in vitro. These results indicate that the studies for maturation of bovine follicular oocytes in vitro need improvement of culture conditions and to define the characteristics that might be indicative of healthy oocyte.

Fecal samples were collected from 47 calves with diarrhea and 12 clinically normal co-h-abitants, and tested for virus using MDBK cell cultures. Three cytopathic viruses were isolated from 8 fecal samples obtained from diarrheic calves. The isolated viruses were neutralized by bovine coronavirus hyperimmune serum In plaque reduction assay and were detected in the cytoplasm of MDBK cell by bovine coronavirus hyperimmune serum using immunofluorescence staining. The viruses agglutinated mouse erythrocytes only among the various animal erythrocytes tested and new isolates were identified as bovine coronavirus.

To determine the prevalence of bovine rotavirus Infection in Chungbuk area, fecal specimen were collected from calves nth diarrhea and tested using ELISA. The positive rates were 53.8%(1 to 30days old), 19.0%(31 to 60days old), and 3.2%(over 60days old). Electrophoretic migration patterns of genomic RNA from field isolates were similar to that of NCDV strain, prototype of bovine rotavirus. Bovine rotavirus field isolate showed characteristic morphology of rotavirus particle with 80nm in diameter, using EM.

This experiment examined the effect of dietary spray-dried bovine colostrum on intestinal histology and organ weights in early-weaned pigs. In a randomised complete block design, twelve 14-day-old weaner pigs were offered a diet containing either 5% spray-dried bovine colostrum or no colostrum (control). Diets were formulated to contain 14.8 MJ/kg DE, 1.26% available lysine and to meet or exceed requirements for other nutrients. Piglets were offered the diets for a period of 14 days. No effect of diet on growth rate or feed intake was observed (p>0.10). Small intestine weight was reduced by 12% in piglets consuming dietary bovine colostrum (p< 0.05). Villous height and crypt depth were increased and decreased, respectively, in the proximal jejunum, mid jejunum and distal ileum of pigs consuming dietary bovine colostrum (p<0.05). Mid-jejunal lamina propria $CD4^+$ and $CD8^+$ T lymphocyte density was increased by 28 and 37%, respectively, in piglets consuming dietary bovine colostrum (p<0.05). Diet did not affect thickness of tunica muscularis externa or tunica submucosa (p>0.10). Collectively, these results suggest a positive effect of dietary bovine colostrum on intestinal morphology and immune status in early-weaned pigs.

Methylation of DNA 5-cytosine in mammalian early embryo affects great deal in nuclear reprogramming and chromatin remodeling of developing embryo. Current efforts to clone and produce cloned animals including transgenic animals face various problems including low birth rate, irregular development, and so on. In this report, cDNA for the one of house keeping methyltransfcrase, Dnmt1 was cloned from bovine somatic tissues and was analyzed for its nucleotide sequences to investigate the structure and function of the gene in bovine early development. Nucleotide sequence of bovine Dnmt1 homologue showed 76.8% identity with that of human Dnmtl and 66.4% with mouse Dnmt1. Translated amino acid sequence showed 88.4% homology with human homologue and 75.8% homology with mouse counterpart. Three types of Dnmt1 are reported in mouse and human, and are likely present in bovine tissues. Understanding of role of Dnmt1 in bovine development may shed a light in the field of animal, especially bovine cloning.
