Objective: The effects of maternal dietary energy levels on breast muscle fibre development in offspring of broiler breeders were investigated. Methods: A total of 480 20-week-old Arbor Acres (AA) healthy female broiler breeders, with an average body weight of 2.33±0.01 kg, were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups with 6 replicates and 20 broiler breeders for each replicate and fed a corn and soybean meal diet with 100%, 80%, 70%, and 50% energy levels, respectively. Approximately 300 eggs per treatment were collected for incubation for 6 days. Then, 120 0-day-old female broilers at each energy level were randomly selected and divided into 6 replicates with 20 broilers for each replicate, with this experimental phase with the offspring lasting for 49 days. Results: Compared with the 100% energy group, the breast muscle fibre diameter at embryonic day 21 in the 80% energy group was significantly reduced (p<0.05). In the 80% energy group, the muscle fibre density of the breast increased significantly (p<0.05) at embryonic days 15 and 21. The breast muscle fibre diameter of the offspring in each group was significantly decreased (p<0.05) on the 1st day. The breast muscle sarcomere length of the embryos in the 80% energy group was significantly higher (p<0.05) than those in the 70% and 50% energy groups. Compared with the 100% energy group, the expression of the myostatin gene in the offspring was significantly decreased (p<0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, the effects of a maternal dietary energy level of 80% in this study were found to be optimal for breast muscle fibre development in offspring, which indicated that the metabolic energy level of AA broilers of 9.36 MJ/kg for the mid-term diet for laying eggs has a more practical significance.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of planting densities on the growth characteristics, dry matter yield, and feed value of "Geukdong 6" (a new variety of corn for feed). The experimental design was arranged in a randomized block design with three replications. Treatments consisted of six planting densities, 60 cm × 25 cm (T1), 60 cm × 30 cm (T2), 70 cm × 25 cm (T3), 70 cm × 30 cm (T4), 80 cm × 25 cm (T5) and 80 cm × 30 cm (T6). All treatments were sown on May 14, 2021, and the harvest was on October 3 (late flowering). Plant length and the number of tillers were the highest in T5 (p<0.05), but the number of leaves and stem diameter were the highest in T6 than in the other treatments (p<0.05). Leaf length, leaf width, and dead leaf were not significantly different among the treatments. Organic matter was highest in T6, and crude protein was highest in T5 (p<0.05). The ether extract was not significantly different among the treatments. Crude fiber, NDF, and ADF were highest in T2 with relatively higher planting density (p<0.05). Calcium and phosphorus were not significantly different among the treatments. TDN content was the highest in T3 (p<0.05). Sugar degree (Brix), fructose, glucose, dextran, isomerose, and inverted sugar were not significantly different among the treatment. Fresh yield, dry matter yield and TDN yield were higher in order of T6 > T5 > T4 > T3 > T2 > T1 (p<0.05). Relatively feed value was higher in order of T3 > T6 > T5 > T1 > T4 > T2 (p<0.05). Based on the above results, planting density could be recommended from 80 cm × 30 cm for efficient production of "Geukdong 6".

This study measured the potential changes of the microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract and energy and nutrient digestibility by supplemental bacteriophages in pigs. Twelve castrated male pigs (initial mean body weight = 29.5 ± 2.3 kg) were surgically cannulated using T-cannula. The animals were housed individually in pens equipped with a feeder and a nipple waterer. The pigs were allotted to 1 of 3 experimental diets in a quadruplicated 3 × 2 Latin square design with 3 experimental diets, 2 periods, and 12 pigs resulting in 8 replicates per diet. The 3 diets were a control mainly based on corn and soybean meal with no antibiotics or bacteriophages, a diet containing 0.1% antibiotics, and a diet containing 0.2% bacteriophages. On day 5 of the experimental period, feces were collected and on days 6 and 7, ileal digesta were collected. Genomic DNA for bacteria were extracted from the ileal digesta and feces and the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified. The ileal and fecal digestibility of energy, dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, and fiber was unaffected by dietary antibiotics or bacteriophages. At the phylum level, the supplemental antibiotic or bacteriophage tended to result in a higher proportion of Firmicutes (p = 0.059) and a lower proportion of Bacteroidetes (p = 0.099) in the ileal digesta samples compared with the control group with no difference between the antibiotic and bacteriophage groups. At the genus level, the supplemental antibiotic or bacteriophage tended to result in a higher proportion of Lactobacillus (p = 0.062) and a lower proportion of Bacteroides (p = 0.074) and Streptococcus (p = 0.088) in the ileal digesta compared with the control group with no difference between the antibiotic and bacteriophage groups. In the feces, supplemental antibiotics or bacteriophages reduced the proportion of Bifidobacterium compared with the control group (p = 0.029) with no difference between the antibiotic and bacteriophage groups. Overall, supplemental antibiotics and bacteriophages showed positive effect on the microbiota of in the ileal digesta without largely affecting energy or nutrient digestibility, with no differences between the antibiotic and bacteriophage groups in growing pigs.

Upregulation of the nutritional value of feed is the major target of various studies in the livestock industry, and dietary enzyme supplementation could aid in digesting the nondegrading nutrients of grains in feed ingredients. Dried distillers' grains with solubles (DDGS) is a byproduct of the fermentation process in the beverage industry and can be used as a large supply source of fiber in feed. Therefore, we conducted an experiment with male broiler chickens to investigate the effect of various types of enzymes on DDGS and compare the efficacy of single enzyme and multienzyme complexes on growth performance and gut environments in broiler chickens. We used 420 1-day-old broiler chickens (Ross 308), and they were allotted into 4 dietary treatments with seven replications (CON, corn-soybean meal [SBM] diet; NC, DDGS supplemented diet; SE, 0.05 % of mannanase supplemented DDGS-based diet; MC, 0.10% of multienzyme complex (mannanase and xylanase, glucanase) supplemented DDGS-based diet. The dietary exogenous enzyme in the DDGS-supplemented diet could improve growth performance as much as the growth of the control group, and digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, and gross energy were significantly increased by enzyme addition in groups of chicks fed DDGS-supplementation diet. Moreover, the populations of pathogenic bacteria, coliforms, and Bacteroidetes were significantly decreased by enzyme supplementation, which might lead to improved gut mucus-secreting cells and inflammatory cytokines in the jejunum. Collectively, dietary single enzyme and multienzyme complexes could improve gut environments, including intestinal immune responses and gut microbial population, and lead to improvement of growth performance in broiler chickens.

호밀-헤어리베치 혼파는 높은 생산성과 토양보전 측면에서 추천되어진다. 본 시험은 이런 혼파조합을 이용함에 있어 적정 파종 및 수확시기를 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 수확이 지연됨에 따라 호밀과 헤어리베치의 초장은 커졌으며 파종시기간에는 차이가 없었다. 건물 함량은 파종시기간에는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만 수확시기간에는 수확이 지연될수록 유의적으로 높아져 5월 중순경에 약 30% 전후를 나타내었다. 조단백질 함량은 출수기에 17~18%에서 급격히 떨어져 5월에는 9~10%대로 낮아졌다. ADF 및 NDF 함량은 수확이 늦어짐에 따라 증가하였으며 IVDMD 및 TDM 함량은 낮아졌다. 건물수량은 수확시기에 큰 영향 을 받았으나 파종시기는 영향을 주지 못했다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 호밀-헤어리베치 혼파 구의 수확은 후 작물로 옥수수를 고려 시는 4월 하순경에 수확을 하며 후 작물로 조생 옥수수나 수수 $\times$ 수단그라스계 잡종을 고려 시는 5월 중순경에 수확하는 것이 추천되었다.

Objective: The use of locally produced forage (LPF) in cattle production has economic and environmental advantages over imported forage. The objective of this study was to characterize the nutritional value of LPF commonly used in Korea. Differences in ruminal fermentation characteristics were also examined for the LPF species commonly produced from two major production regions: Chungcheong and Jeolla. Methods: Ten LPF (five from each of the two regions) and six of the most widely used imported forages originating from North America were obtained at least three times throughout a year. Each forage species was pooled and analyzed for nutrient content using detailed chemical analysis. Ruminal fermentation characteristics were also determined by in vitro anaerobic incubations using strained rumen fluid for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h. At each incubation time, total gas, pH, ammonia, volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations, and neutral detergent fiber digestibility were measured. By fitting an exponential model, gas production kinetics were obtained. Results: Significant differences were found in the non-fiber carbohydrate (NFC) content among the forage species and the regions (p<0.01). No nutrient, other than NFC, showed significant differences among the regions. Crude protein, NFC, and acid detergent lignin significantly differed by forage species. The amount of acid detergent insoluble protein tended to differ among the forages. The forages produced in Chungcheong had a higher amount of NFC than that in Jeolla (p<0.05). There were differences in ruminal fermentation of LPF between the two regions and interactions between regions and forage species were also significant (p<0.05). The pH following a 48-h ruminal fermentation was lower in the forages from Chungcheong than from Jeolla (p<0.01), and total VFA concentration was higher in Chungcheong than in Jeolla (p = 0.05). This implies that fermentation was more active with the forages from Chungcheong than from Jeolla. Analysis of gas production profiles showed the rate of fermentation differed among forage species (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the nutritional values of some LPF (i.e., corn silage and Italian ryegrass) are comparable to those of imported forages widely used in Korea. This study also indicated that the nutritional value of LPF differs by origin, as well as by forage species. Detailed analyses of nutrient composition and digestion kinetics of LPF should be routinely employed to evaluate the correct nutritional value of LPF and to increase their use in the field.

본 연구는 옥수수 사일리지를 이용하여 TMR 제조 시 배합시간에 따른 물리적 특성(Particle size, peNDF 및 laceration)의 변화를 조사하고, 반추위 내 in situ 건물분해율 및 비유중기 착유우의 유생산성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 수행되었다. TMR 시험사료는 동일한 원료를 이용하여 배합시간을 30분(T1구)과 50분(T2구)으로 제조하였다. Penn State Particle Size Separator (PSPS, 19 mm와 8mm 체)로 분리하여 입자크기의 분포를 분석한 결과 배합 시간이 30분(T1)에서 50분(T2)로 증가함에 따라 하층(<8mm)의 비율이 유의적으로 증가하였고(p<0.01), $peNDF_{&gt;8.0}$는 유의적으로 감소하였으며(p<0.01), 굵은 비율(${\geq}1mm$) 이 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.01). 반추위 내 in situ 건물 분해율은 모든 배양시간에서 처리구간 차이가 없었지만 24시간 배양에서 T1구에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. (p<0.01). 산유량은 처리구간 차이가 없었지만 유지방은 T1이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.01). 본 연구 결과에서 옥수수 사일리지 위주의 TMR 제조 시 배합시간을 단축 조절함으로서 산유량 및 유성분에 대한 부정적 영향 없이 조사료의 물리적 사료가치를 증진하는데 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

옥수수 및 sorghum 식물(植物)에 있어서 생육시기(生育時期)와 환경온도(環境溫度)가 cell-wall constituents의 합성(合成) 및 축적형태(蓄積形態)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 구명(究明)하기 위하여 옥수수의 Blizzard와 sorghum의 Sioux 및 Pioneer 931 품종(品種)을 공시재료(供試材料)로 하여 포장(圃場) 및 Phytotron 시험(試驗)을 실시(實施)하였다. Phytotron의 주(晝)/야간(夜間) 실내온도(室內溫度)는 30/25, 25/20, 28/18 및 $18/8^{\circ}C$로 하였으며 일조(日照)는 30,000-35,000Lux로 13시간(時間) 조사(照謝)하였다. 1979-81년간(年間) 얻어진 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 옥수수 및 sorghum의 cell wall constituents는 유수형성기(幼穗形成期)에서 지엽(止葉)이 출현(出現)되는 시기(時期)에 최대(最大)의 합성능력(合成能力)을 갖는다. Neutral Detergence Fiber 및 Acid Detergence Fiber 농도(濃度)는 동화엽면적(同化葉面積)이 최대(最大)인 출수기전후(出穗期前后)에 각각(各各) NDF 52-55% (옥수수) 및 64-68%(Sorghum)와 ADF 30%(옥수수) 및 45% (Sorghum)로 가장 높은 수준(水準)을 나타낸다. 2 Cellulose 및 Hemicellulose는 세포구조막(細胞救造膜)을 형성(形成)하고 있는 structural carbohydrates로 Cellulose가 주(主)로 경조직(莖組織)의 cell wall을 구성(構成)하고 있는데 비해 Hemicellulose는 엽(葉)과 곡실부위(穀實部位)의 세포막구성물질(細胞膜構成物質)로서 중요(重要)한 역할(役割)을 한다. 3. Cell wall constituents의 합성(合成)은 환경온도(環境溫度)가 상승(上昇)됨에 따라 비례적(比例的)으로 증가(增加)한다. 그러나 fructosan, mono- 및 disaccharose 등 non-structural carbohydrates축적(蓄積)은 $30/25^{\circ}C$이상(以上)의 고온(高溫)에서 감소(減少)된다. 고온(高溫)에서의 세포구조막물질(細胞構造膜物質) 증가(增加)는 cell wall을 구성(構成)하고 있는 물질중(物質中) 特(特)히 Cellulose가 급증(急增)된데 기인(其因)된 것으로 온도상승(溫度上昇)에 따른 Cellulose의 합성능력(合成能力)은 Hemicellulose 및 Lignin에 비해 현저(顯著)한 증가(增加)를 보인다. 4 세포구조막물질(細胞構造膜物質)의 증가(增加)는 소화율(消化率) 및 net energy 축적(蓄積)을 크게 저해(沮害)한다. cell wall constituents 중(中) phenol 성분(成分)의 Lignin과 in vitro 소화율간(消化率間)에는 높은 부(負)의 상관(相關)이 있다($P{\leqq}0.1%$). Cellulose 및 Hemicellulose는 sorghum식물(植物)의 경우 소화율(消化率)과 NEL 축적(蓄積)을 크게 악화(惡化)시키나($P{\leqq}0.1%$) 옥수수에 있어서는 이같은 부(負)의 상관관계(相關關係)가 sorghum에서와 같이 크게 나타나지 않는다.
