  • 국내 경제성장에 힘입어 최근 30여 년 간에 걸쳐서 축산물 소비가 급격하게 늘어나고 있다. 이에 따라 국내 가축 규모는 전업화, 대형화 되는 추세에 있다. 가축 사육두수의 증가는 필연적으로 가축분뇨 발생량 증가를 초래하게 되었다. 농림축산 통계에 따르면 2013년 말 기준으로 약 47,235천 톤의 가축분뇨가 발생되었다. 이 분뇨를 처리하기 위해서 퇴비화, 액비화, 정화 그리고 혐기소화와 같은 다양한 가축분뇨 처리방법이 적용되고 있다. 가축분뇨를 퇴비화 처리 하는 시설에 있어서는 에스컬레이터식, 패들식, 스크루식 또는 로타리식 등의 4가지 종류의 교반시설이 적용되고 있다. 가축분뇨 액비화 시설의 경우에는 호기적 방법과 무산소적 방법 등의 2가지 시설이 운영되고 있다. 가축분뇨를 액비화하기 위해서 전국에 약 8천기에 달하는 액비화 시설이 설치, 운영되고 있다. 가축분뇨 정화처리 시설에서는 고액분리 처리, 2차 처리 그리고 고도 처리의 3가지 단계의 기술을 적용하고 있다. 2012년 말 기준으로 볼 때 혐기소화 처리방법에 의해서 처리된 돼지분뇨 슬러리는 약 21천 톤에 달한다. 가축분뇨 처리를 위해서 퇴비, 액비, 정화 시설, 혐기소화 시설 등을 선택함에 있어서 악취제거 효율을 높이는 것이 대단히 중요한 사안이 되었다. 본 연구에서는 국내에 설치된 가축분뇨처리 시설의 특징과 운영방식을 6년간에 걸친 시설 설치관련 서류 검토와 현장조사를 통하여 분석하였다.

  • In this study, we assess the recent changes in the amount of excretion by the livestock industry, and discuss the effects of increasing the ratio of cultivated land on the reduction of surplus nitrogen from a cost-performance perspective. Nitrogen has contributed to acidification of ecosystems and nitrate concentrations in groundwater, especially in Europe. Therefore, we assessed the level of nitrogen waste from the domestic Japanese livestock industry, including cattle, swine and poultry during the period 1987-2001. This assessment assumed that 40% of the nitrogen from the domestic livestock industry was emitted as gas into the air and that 60% of the nitrogen was contained in manure used on domestic cultivated land. Nitrogen excreted from livestock, excluding gas emission, decreased by 11% from 0.504 million tons to 0.447 million tons during 1993-2001. Thus, the peak period of nitrogen excretion from livestock is already past in Japan. However, the area of cultivated land under management also decreased during 1990-2000. In addition, the area of paddy and upland fields left unplanted for a year increased during 1990-2000. Therefore, if all manure from the domestic livestock industry had been utilized on the fields as organic fertilizer, but not on arable land left uncultivated for the past year, the nitrogen per net area of cultivated land would have increased by 5%, from 125 to 131 N kg/ha, during 1990-2000. To reduce the nitrogen ratio on cultivated land through the planting of feed grain to utilize the nitrogen, a comparison of the cost performance of feed grains indicated that barley would be more suitable than wheat, rice or soybean. Had barley been planted in 100% of the land left fallow for the past year in 2000, 4% (20,000 tons) of the nitrogen from livestock waste would have been used in the harvest, and the nitrogen per land unit would have not increased but decreased from 125 to 121 N kg/ha during the same decade. Furthermore, when converted into Total Digestible Nutrients, 7% of imported feed corn could have been replaced with the harvested barley in 2000. Planting barley on this fallow land had three benefits; reducing the risk of manure overload on the land, slowing down the decrease in cultivated land, and raising the feed self-sufficiency ratio. Thus, it would be beneficial to plant feed grain such as barley in land left fallow for the past year through utilization of manure.

  • Molecular genetic markers were used to detect chromosomal regions which contain economically important traits such as growth, carcass, and meat quality traits in pigs. A three generation resource population was constructed from a cross between Korean native boars and Landrace sows. A total of 240 F2 animals from intercross of F1 was produced. Phenotypic data on 17 traits, birth weight, body weights at 3, 5, 12, and 30 weeks of age, teat number, carcass weight, backfat thickness, body fat, backbone number, muscle pH, meat color, drip loss, cooking loss, water holding capacity, shear force, and intramuscular fat content were collected for F2 animals. Animals including grandparents (F0), parents (F1), and offspring (F2) were genotyped for 80 microsatellite markers covering from chromosome 1 to 10. Least squares regression interval mapping was used for quantitative trait loci (QTL) identification. Significance thresholds were determined by permutation tests. A total of 10 QTL were detected at 5% chromosome-wide significance levels for growth traits on SSCs 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8.

  • The Anti-corruption Law has been enforced since Sep. 28, 2016 to prevent public servants from colluding with people for political favors and financial gain by giving bribes to public servants. Generally, most people in Korea think that the law has had a positive effect on society. Under this law, people believe that our society has become more transparent. However, domestic producers think the law has had negative effects on the Korean livestock industry. Statistics from the domestic livestock industry show that the Hanwoo price has dropped after the law was enforced. This study attempts to show how livestock prices in the Korean livestock industry have changed after the enactment of the law. We chose three important livestock industries, Hanwoo, pork, and chicken, to determine and compare the effects of the law on them. For the analysis, we used a time-series model, VAR, to incorporate the interactions of the three industries. We selected the average wholesale prices of these industries. Daily prices during the last 5 years were used to estimate and forecast the impacts of the law. The results show that the price of Hanwoo decreased after the enforcement of the law; however, the other livestock prices did not decrease. Additionally, we clearly saw this negative effect on the Hanwoo industry during the high demand season and New Year's Day (solar and lunar together).
