Objective: The uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) is a member of the mitochondrial anion carrier superfamily and has crucial effects on growth and feed efficiency in many species. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to examine the association of polymorphisms in the UCP3 gene with feed efficiency in meat-type chickens. Methods: Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the UCP3 gene were chosen to be genotyped using matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry in meat-type chicken populations with 724 birds in total. Body weight at 49 (BW49) and 70 days of age (BW70) and feed intake (FI) in the interval were collected, then body weight gain (BWG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated individually. Results: One SNP with a low minor allele frequency (<1%) was removed by quality control and data filtering. The results showed that rs13997809 of UCP3 was significantly associated with BWG and FCR (p<0.05), and that rs13997811 had significant effects on BW70 and BWG (p<0.05). Rs13997812 of UCP3 was strongly associated with BW70, FI, and FCR (p<0.05). Furthermore, individuals with AA genotype of rs13997809 had significantly higher BWG and lower FCR (p<0.05) than those with AT genotype. The GG individuals showed strongly higher BW70 and BWG than AA birds in rs13997811 (p<0.05). Birds with the TT genotype of rs13997812 had significantly greater BW70 and lower FCR compared with the CT birds (p<0.05). In addition, the TAC haplotype based on rs13997809, rs13997811, and rs13997812 showed significant effects on BW70, FI, and FCR (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our results therefore demonstrate important roles for UCP3 polymorphisms in growth and feed efficiency that might be used in meat-type chicken breeding programs.

Deep pectoral myopathy (DPM), also known as Oregon muscle disease or green muscle disease, was first described in 1968 by Dickinson et al as "degenerative myopathy" in turkeys. Even though this condition was first recognized in adult meat-type turkey and chicken breeders, it is becoming more and more common in meat-type growing birds. DPM occurs exclusively in birds that have been specially selected for breast muscle development. It is generally recognized that DPM is an ischemic necrosis that develops in the deep pectoral muscle (supracoracoideus or pectoralis minor muscle) mainly because this muscle is surrounded by inelastic fascia and the sternum, which do not allow the muscle mass to swell in response to the physiological changes occurring when muscle are exercised, as in wing flapping. The lesion does not impair the general health of birds and is generally found during cut-up and deboning, moreover, it can be both unilateral or bilateral, affecting just one or both pectoralis minor muscle, respectively. No public health significance is associated to DPM, but it is aesthetically undesirable. The fillet should be removed, whereas the rest of the carcass is still fit for human consumption. However, the required trimming operations determine the downgrading of the products and produce an economic loss for the industry, especially because it affects the more valuable part of the carcass. The incidence of DPM increases with market weight in broilers, with more cases reported in higher-yielding strains and in males. Increased bird activity (flock nervousness, flightiness, struggle, and wing flapping) induced by factors such as feed or water outages, lighting programs and intensity, human activity, and excessive noises in and around chicken houses should be looked at as a trigger for the development of DPM in broiler. However, most of the studies conducted to evaluate the incidence of DPM in poultry are concerned with parental commercial breeding stocks under experimental conditions (Bianchi et al. 2006. Poult Sci 85 : 1843-1846). There is a possible genetic relationship between the selection for large-breasted birds and this condition. Management procedures that discourage excessive wing flapping would reduce the incidence (Jordan and Pattison. 1998. Poultry diseases. 398-399).

본 연구는 한우 거세우 95두 (평균체중 226 kg)를 이용하여 농후사료와 조사료 분리급여구, TMR구 그리고 TMR을 발효시킨 F-TMR구로 나누어 22개월동안 사육하여 도축하였을 때, 사료효율, 도체성적 및 경제성분석에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 실시되었다. 건물 및 TDN 섭취량은 육 비육 각 단계별로 F-TMR구에서 가장 많았다 (p<0.05). F-TMR구의 경우, 일일증체량은 육성기에는 처리구중 가장 적었으나, 비육후기에는 타 처리구에 비해 약 48%나 높았다 (p<0.05), 사료효율은 전 육성비육기간 동안 비슷한 수준으로 유지되었다. 도체중과 배최장근단면적에서는 F-TMR 급여구에서 가장 높았으나 (p<0.05), 등지방두께가 가장 얇았던 (p<0.05) 분리급여구에서 육량지수와 육량 A등급 비율이 높았다. F-TMR구의 근내지방도가 타구에 비해 현저히 (p<0.05) 증가되어 육질 1+등급이상 출현율이 96%에 달하였다. 경제성 분석에서 사료비는 F-TMR구가 분리급여구에 비해 40%가 증가되었으나 증체량과 육질등급의 향상으로 인하여 순수익은 29%나 증가되었다.

사료 에너지 수준(고, 저), 깔짚 종류(왕겨, 톱밥), 성별(암 수) 등 세 요인을 각각 달리하여 한협 3호 육계(토종닭)를 대상으로 연구한 결과는 다음과 같다. 깔짚, 사료에너지 수준, 성별 모두 증체량에 영향을 미쳤고, 이들 요인 간 상호효과도 나타났다. 성별에 따라 사료섭취량에 차이가 나타났으나 깔짚이나 사료에너지 수준은 특정 일령의 사료섭취량에만 영향을 미쳤다. 사료요구율은 고 에너지 사료에서 낮았으나, 41~75일령 사료요구율은 차이가 없었다. 지방 이외의 영양소 이용률은 모두 암컷에 비하여 수컷이 높았으며, 지방의 이용률은 성별에 상관없이 저에너지 사료에서 높았다. 가슴육의 색은 사료 에너지 수준과 성별에 따라 달랐고, 다리육의 TBARS가는 암컷에서 높았다. 가슴육의 지방함량은 암컷에서, 다리육의 인과 수분 함량은 수컷에서 높았다. 본 연구로 한협 3호에 대한 사료 에너지 수준, 특히 대부분의 증체가 이루어지는 41~75일령 기간의 사료 에너지 수준을 설정할 때 암 수 간 차이를 두는 것이 바람직하며, 56일령 이후 암컷에는 고 에너지 사료가 오히려 증체량이나 사료요구율에서 불리하다는 점을 알게 되었다.

This study investigated the shelf life of emulsion-type sausages containing garlic powder and/or ${\alpha}$-tocopherol during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 0, 10, 20, and 30 d. Six groups of emulsion-type sausages were included: control (no additives), GP1 (1% garlic powder), GP3 (3% garlic powder), AT100 (100 IU of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol/kg of sausage), AT200 (200 IU of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol/kg of sausage), and GP1+AT100 (1% garlic powder+100 IU of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol/kg of sausage). During storage, the pH, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and residual nitrite content were reduced by the addition of garlic powder and/or ${\alpha}$-tocopherol relative to the control (p<0.05). In addition, emulsion-type sausages supplemented with garlic powder and/or ${\alpha}$-tocopherol improved color stability (p<0.05). The results suggest that a higher amount of garlic powder and their different combinations could improve the shelf life of emulsion-type sausages and protect against lipid oxidation.

Abstract This study evaluated the effects of adding glasswort hydrate containing non-meat ingredient (GM, carboxy methyl cellulose; GC, carrageenan; GI, isolated soy protein; GS, sodium caseinate) on the quality characteristics of reduced-salt, reduced-fat frankfurters. The pH and color evaluation showed significant differences, depending on the type of glasswort hydrate added (p<0.05). In the raw batters and cooked frankfurters, the addition of glasswort hydrate decreased the redness and increased the yellowness in comparison with frankfurters without glasswort hydrate. The reduction in salt and fat content significantly increased cooking loss and decreased hardness, tenderness and juiciness (p<0.05). Glasswort hydrate containing non-meat ingredient improved cooking loss, water holding capacity, emulsion stability, hardness, and viscosity of reduced-salt, reduced-fat frankfurters. The GM treatment had the highest myofibiliar protein solubility among all treatments, which was associated with emulsion stability and viscosity. The GC treatment had higher values for all texture parameters than the control. In the sensory evaluation, the addition of glasswort hydrate with non-meat ingredient improved tenderness and juiciness of reduced-salt, reduced-fat frankfurters. GM, GC, and GI treatments improved not only the physicochemical properties but also the sensory characteristics of reduced-salt, reduced-fat frankfurters. The results indicated that the use of glasswort hydrate containing non-meat ingredient was improved the quality characteristics of reduced-salt, reduced-fat frankfurters.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of fish silage prepared from Indian oil sardines, Sardinella longiceps, as partial replacement of soybean meal as a sole source of protein for growing broiler chickens. The main objective of Experiment 1, an ileal digestibility assay, was to assess the nutritional value of fish silage compared with soybean meal for feeding broiler chickens. The two test ingredients, soybean meal and dried fish silage, were incorporated into semi-synthetic diets, as the only component containing protein. The ileal digestibility coefficients of amino acids of fish silage were considerably higher than those of soybean meal (p<0.001). The lower digestibility of amino acids from soybean meal was related to the presence of anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors. Fish silage had higher levels of sulphur-containing amino acids than soybean meal. The objective of Experiment 2, a growth study, was to evaluate the effect of feeding fish silage on performance and meat quality characteristics of broiler chickens raised under closed and open-sided housing systems. Four diets containing various levels of fish silage (0, 10, 20 and 30%) were evaluated. Daily feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio were measured. At the end of Experiment 2, 96 birds were randomly selected and slaughtered to evaluate meat quality characteristics. Housing type had significant effects on feed intake and body weight gain (p<0.01). Birds in the open-sided house consumed 4.7% less amount of feed and gained 10.6% less than their counterparts in a closed house. Birds in both houses fed diets containing 10 and 20% fish silage gained more than birds fed 30% fish silage. The current study produced evidence that fish silage can replace up to 20% of soybean meal in broiler diets without affecting either growth performance or the sensory quality of broiler meat.

This study was performed to investigate the physico-chemical properties of Holstein steer beef loin (M. longissimus dorsi) and top round (M. semimembranosus) from 18, 21 and 24-mon old. The loin and top round muscles from the 24-mon group had higher intramuscular fat content (%) than the other groups (p<0.05); however, the protein content was not significantly different among the 3 groups (p>0.05). With regard to meat color (CIE), the lightness ($L^*$), redness ($a^*$) and yellowness ($b^*$) values of the loin were significantly higher for the 21- and 24-mon groups, and those of the top round were significantly higher for the 21-mon group than the same cuts in the other groups. The Warner-Bratzler shear force was the lowest at 24 mon for both the loin and top round muscles (3.69 kg); however, the water holding capacity was significantly higher for loin muscles from the 21-mon group (54.53%, p<0.05). The loin muscles from the 24-mon group contained significantly higher levels of monounsaturated fatty acid and significantly lower levels of saturated fatty acid than those in the other groups (p<0.05). The tenderness, juiciness, flavor-likeness and the overall-likeness scores were significantly higher for beef from the 21- and 24-mon groups than that from the 18-mon group. The results of this study indicate that both the slaughtering age and muscle type significantly affect meat quality. Therefore, fattening the beef for more than 4 mon during the late fattening stage would be advantageous for the meat quality of Holstein steers.

본 연구는 재구성육제품내 첨가제를 줄이는데 있어 예비혼합물에 첨가제를 전량 첨가하여 그 기능적 특성을 최대한 부여시킬 수 있는 첨가제의 종류와 이온강도 효과의 조건을 설정하고자 실시하였다. 육제품의 10%를 예비혼합들로 설정하여 돼지전지부위에 NaCl(0, 4.5, 9.0%), STPP (0, 2.5, 5.0%), PP (0, 2.44, 4.88%)를 각각 세단계로 이온강도를 같게 설정한 후 조합첨가하여 27가지 예비혼합물을 제조하고 pH와 추출한 단백질의 기능적 특성을 조사하였다. pH는 STPP와 PP의 첨가에 의해 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며(p<0.01), 동일 이온강도에서 PP가 STPP에 비해 높은 pH증진효과를 보였다. 예비혼합물에서 추출한 단백질(1 M NaCl, 동일한 염추출 용액 사용)의 특성 중 총 단백질추출성에 대하여 동일 이온강도 하에서 phosphate 이온이 chloride 이온보다 추출효과가 뛰어났다. 단백질의 용해성은 NaCl 첨가로 용해성이 낮아졌으며(p<0.05), 단백질추출성이 좋을수록 용해성이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 원료육 내의 SH기 함량은 단백질추출성이 좋은 경우 SH기 함량이 높은 경향을 보였다. 단백질의 가열처리를 가상한 $65^{\circ}C$, 7분간의 단백질 추출물의 열처리 효과로 원료육의 SH기 함량이 낮아지고 소수성은 증가하였다(p<0.1). 그러나 세 첨가제에 의한 27가지의 예비혼합물에서 추출한 단백질의 전기영동상 형태는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로 첨가제의 조합에 의해 이온강도가 높아짐에 따라 기능적 특성이 증가되지는 않았으나 인산염 중 동일이온강도를 감안할 때 첨가제를 줄이는 방안으로는 STPP보다 PP가 좋은 것으로 판단되었다.

The purpose of this research paper is to examine, from an ethnological viewpoint, the traditional practice of using sacrificial game and domestic livestock as is often seen at communal rites in Korea. This paper also examine how the more convenient use of livestock sacrifice developed from that in which wild game were once offered, and how this change in the type of animals used affected the significance of the sacrifice. It also looks at how the use of animal sacrifice for ceremonies eventually influenced the practice of meat consumption on the part of the participants in their daily life, and how it contributed to the eventual establishment and development of livestock breeding for the purpose of meat consumption. The practice of catching wild game in the mountains for sacrificial purposes eventually gave way to the use of pasturage cattle, but it should be understood that these domesticated livestock were raised primarily for ceremonial rather than meat consumption purpose. When used for sacrifice, these cattle were not castrated, as is normally done when they are slaughtered for meat consumption, but it should not be assumed that this was done for purposes of simplification. In addition, not only rice farmers but also when enterpreneurs set up a new enterprise, animal sacrifice was viewed not only as a form of on-site purification of evil, but also served the dual purpose of enhancing their business through the traditional custom of serving meat to those invited guests in attendance. In the large-scale village communal rite of Hwaghae Province located in the northwestern part of Korea, animal sacrifice was carried out in the ritual for the Mountain God in a highly dramatic style, and suggests that it originated with the agrarian rites of the "fire-field" farmers of East Asia, which were utilized to foretell whether the coming year would be one of abundance or famine, and to the royal ceremony held on the 3rd day of the 3rd month of the lunar calendar, as well as that held for the God of the Mountains and Streams. The dramatic-style hunting rite, included in the large-scale communal ritual of Hwanghae Province mentioned previously, as well as in the Ritual of the Cow from Pyungsan, also located in Hwanghae Province, in which wild game were used as sacrifice, is significant in that it points up the changes that have occurred in ceremonial animal sacrifice. However, more research on ritualistic animal sacrifice is still called for in rites for good farming, fishing, and the variety of others that are held throughout Korea.
