This study was designed to investigate the nutritional effect of mugowrt powder supple mentation to rice diets with different protein levels. Thirty female albino rats weighing 39-43g were adopted for the feeding trial for 4 weeks. The different 5 kind of experimental diets were performed . Control diet was commercially available forage for rats, experimental diet (I-C) highly milled rice, (Ⅰ) highly milled rice 95% and mugwort powder 5%, (Ⅱ-C)highly milled rice 95% and milk casein 5%, and (Ⅱ) highly milled rice 90%, milk casein 5 % and mugwort powder 5%. Growth rate was remarkably high in the dietary group fed on highly milled rice supplemented with 5% mugwort powder (protein 8%) (P<0.05), but it showed the tendency to be rather low in the group fed on highly milled rice supplemented with 5% casein and 5% mugwort powder (protein 12%). Food efficiency as well as protein efficiency appeared similar to the growth rate. Hematodcrit level demonstrated the same tendency as growth rate, but hemoglobin content was observed to increase by diets supplemented with increasing amount of mugwort regardless of protein level. Each nutrient intake was increased by adding mugwort powder to diets after a week's feeding, but it was increased by 8% protein diet, and decreased by 12% protein diet in 3 weeks as well as 4 weeks after feeding . The absorption rate of carbohydrate and protein decreased by feeding mugwort supplemented diets regardless of protein level and feeding period, and that of lipid increased with 12% protein diet.

Twenty cows, by order of calving, were used in a completely randomized $2{\times}2$ factorial experiment. Variables were tow protein levels (14 and 18% crude protein) and concentration of fat (2 and 6% ether extract) in diets. Fat addition, via unprocessed whole sunflower seed, insured forage utilization in diets to meet energy requirement of cows. A total of 36 wks of lactation was subdivided into three 12-wk stages of lactation. Net energy lactation was set at 1.72, 1.57 and 1.42 Mcal/kg for each stage. Higher protein diets improved the efficiency of energy (FCM/net energy intake) which was particularly noted for diets containing high fat (85.7%). However, diets with low protein-high fat resulted in the lowest efficiency (67.7%). No difference in milk yield and butterfat was due to different levels and combinations of protein and lipid in diets. High protein diets depressed blood cholesterol and glucose compared to low-protein counterparts. Relative decline in milk production was slower for lower fat diets than for higher fat groups, especially mid to later stage of lactation. Results of this experiment tend to support our thesis on the synergistic effect of dietary protein and energy (lipid) upon efficiency of lactation.

In Korea, the traditional main food is rice There is a shortage of food, though the land is uesd intensively. The Koreans produce mainly rice its yield is very much higher than other crops. This leads to the comsumption of one type of food and, hence, to an unbalanced diet. Since 1962, Korean income has been going up rapidly, and the demand for animal protein has also increased. In order to solve the probem, the government decided to develop the dairy industry, because this would enable the population to consume more animal protein, and there is weak competion between rice and milk production.

Buffalo are a major source of milk production, contributing 12.1% in the World and 38.0% in Asia. The buffaloes are kept under peri-urban farming systems to produce milk for urban populations. Breeding is delayed in these herds to get more economic benefit because farmers believe that the pregnancy decreases milk production. The lactation milk value has been studied in this paper as an economic indicator. Complete milk yield records of 3,304 buffaloes was collected from a group of state farms. Economic traits including lactation yield, lactation length, calving interval (CI), dry period and milk yield per day of calving interval (MYPDCI) were derived from the data. The animals were grouped according to parity number (1-3), service period (G1 to G4, conceiving during <150, 150-200, 200-300 and >300 days post calving) and yield levels (HMY>2,500; MMY 2,001-2,500; and LMY 1,500-2,000 liters/ lactation). To study the effect of pregnancy on milk composition a research trial was conducted at a medium size private dairy farm, using forty lactating buffaloes of three yield levels and four service period groups, as described already. Milk was sampled on alternate weeks and analyzed for fat and protein contents (%). For quantifying the value of milk produced during a lactation period, the value corrected milk (VCM) was determined and converted to lactation milk value (LMV). Group means were compared for varicous parameters. Highest milk yield ($2,836.50{\pm}15.68$ liters/lactation) was recorded in the HMY animals of G4 group while lowest milk yield of $1,657.04{\pm}8.34$ liters/lactation was found in LMY of G1. Lactation was significantly increased with the extending of service period. The shortest dry period was recorded in HMY, parity 1, G1 animals and the longest in parity 2, MMY, G4.The CI was shortest in HMY, parity 1, and G1 animals and longest in LMY, parity 3, G4 buffaloes. The HMY, parity 2, G1 buffaloes showed the highest MYPDCI and the lowest value was recorded ($6.53{\pm}0.17$ vs. $2.76{\pm}0.04$ liter/day) for LMY, parity 1, G4 buffaloes. The VCM decreased with the delayed conception. This decreasing trend was higher in respect of the total yield but decrease in the VCM was smaller due to the increasing levels of fat and protein in the milk. The gap between the various production classes was reduced based on the VCM as compared with the yield per day of CI. LMV showed a consistent decline with extending service period in all three production groups. The study suggests that CI increased with delayed conception, showing a consistent trend in the low, moderate and high yielding buffaloes. There was a coherent declining pattern of milk yield with delaying conception, associated with prolonged CI. An animal conceiving at a later stage of lactation showed a decline in financial returns of 24 to 27% compared with those conceiving earlier.

The purpose of this study was to improve the production of Mozzarella cheese analogues manufactured using mixtures of soy milk and concentrated raw milk by performing ultrafiltration (UF) and to assess the quality of these cheeses during a 30-day storage period at $4^{\circ}C$, relative to that of Mozzarella cheese manufactured with the traditional method. The solid consistency of Mozzarella cheese analogue prepared from milk mixtures was lower than that of cheese manufactured from raw milk or soy milk and increased during storage, which is considered to be the result of decreasing water levels, as well as with increasing soy milk concentrations. In the Mozzarella cheese analogue generated using the milk mixtures, the fat content decreased with increase in the soy milk concentration, while it decreased during the storage period. Lactose levels were lowest in cheese composed of soy milk or raw milk and processed by UF, and decreased during storage in cheese produced using milk mixtures. In milk mixtures containing soy milk, the protein concentration increased with increasing amounts of raw milk and did not change during the storage period. The water-soluble nitrogen compound level was similar between cheeses and increased only slightly during storage. The amount of non-protein nitrogen compounds was higher in the cheese analogue than in the control cheese and tended to increase during storage. Analysis of the physicochemical traits of the Mozzarella cheese analogue yielded the following results: During storage, titratable acidity levels increased while pH tended to decrease. After analysis using electropherograms, it was classified as ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, or ${\kappa}$-casein. The results of rheometry tests showed that in the Mozzarella cheese analogue prepared from milk mixtures, with raw milk concentrated by UF, increases in concentration rate lead to lowered hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness, and brittleness. When cheese was produced from milk mixtures and concentrated by UF, meltability increased as the concentration rate increased, although to an extent that was less than that observed for the control cheese, and tended to increase during storage. Sensory evaluation showed that the analogue cheese was much better than the control cheese in terms of formation, appearance, and flavor.

유제품(乳製品)의 품질(品質)과 밀접(密接)하게 관련(關聯)되어 있는 skim milk protein의 가열(加熱)에 의(依)한 상대변화(狀態變化)를 단백질(蛋白質) 화학적(化學的) 측면(側面)에서 연구(硏究)하였다. 1. Skim milk 중의 calcium농도(濃度)가 높아질수록 가열시(加熱時) 점도(粘度)는 급증(急增)하였으며 gel화(化)가 일어나는 온도(溫度)는 점점 저하(低下)되었다. 이러한 사실(事實)로 보아 calcium ion은 유단백질(乳蛋白質)의 열안정성(熱安定性)에 결정적(結定的) 영향(影響)을 미치며 calcium존재(存在) 하(下)에서 가열(加熱)시킬 때에는 우유단백질(牛乳蛋白質)들을 균일분산계(均一分散系)로부터 불균일회합상태(不均一會合狀態)로 전이(轉移)시키는 것으로 결론(結論)되었다. 2. 일정(一定) 온도(溫度) skim milk의 안정성(安定性)에 대(對)한 가열시간(加熱時間)의 효과(效果)는 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 3. 등전침전(等電沈電)시킨 casein을 재용해(再溶解)시킨 후(後), skim milk 내(內)에서와 동일(同一)한 calcium농도(濃度) 환경(環境)으로 조절(調節)하고 가열(加熱)하였을 때 skim milk가 불안정성(不安定性)을 보이는 온도(溫度)보다도 저온(低溫)에서 침전(沈澱)으로 분리(分離)되었다. 따라서 가열(加熱)에 불안정(不安定)한 구분(區分)은 whey protein일 것으로 추정(推定)하였으며, 이는 skim milk 내(內)에서 casein에 의(依)하여 보호(保護)되는 것으로 해석(解析)되었다. 5. pH를 변경(變更)시킨 skim milk의 점도(粘度) 증가(增加)에는 calcium ion에 의(依)한 기여(寄與)가 컸으며, calcium은 유단백질(乳蛋白質)의 응집(凝集)을 촉진(促進)할 때 Ca-bridge로 작용(作用)하는 것이라고 결론(結論)되었다. 6. 비가열(非加熱)의 skim milk는 6개의 fraction으로 분획(分劃)되었음에 비(比)하여, $95^{\circ}C$에서 10분(分) 가열(加熱)했을 때는 fraction A 및 B가 소실(消失)되었고 새로운 fraction F@를 출현(出現)시켰다. 7. Electrophoretogram에서 fraction C 및 C#는 모두 3개의 band를, fraction F 및 F#는 모두 4개의 band를 나타냈으며 가열(加熱) 전후(前後)의 이동도(移動度)에도 차이(差異)가 없었다. Fraction D는 6개의 band로 D#에는 그 외(外)에도 3개의 band가 더 나타났다. fraction E 및 E#는 모두 4개의 band를 보였으나, 그 성분(成分)들의 이동도(移動度)는 모두 대응(對應)되지 않았다.

A method to store concentrated milk in the liquid state at $-15^{\circ}C$ was developed, and quality changes during storage of milk were evaluated. Combined cryoprotectants (CCP) suitable for storing concentrated milk in the liquid state at $-15^{\circ}C$ were consisted of 17.74% sucrose, 8.87% glucose, 8.87% fructose, 2% glycerol, 0.25% sodium hexametaphosphate, 0.25% NaCl and 0.02% ascorbic acid. The amount of CCP to be added to concentrated milk to depress freezing point to $-15^{\circ}C$ was 38% by weight. Gelation due to protein denaturation was the most serious quality change during storage, which adversely affected appearance and utilization of the stored product. Gelation was observed after 3 weeks storage in the control, but it was not in milk with CCP throughout 18 weeks storage. Amount of protein precipitated increased in the control during storage, whereas there was no protein precipitated in milk with CCP. Surface color and peroxide value of the control and treatment did not change significantly during storage, and there were no marked differences between the control and treatment. These results indicated that quality of concentrated milk could be preserved, without gelation, by storing milk with CCP in the -liquid state at the frozen storage temperature. Besides, energy required for freezing preservation of milk could be significantly reduced by elimination of phase changes for freezing and thawing, and the stored product could be continuously processed for the final products without long waiting time for thawing.

Milk urea nitrogen (MUN) and Milk protein (MP) are being used as indicators of the protein-energy balance and for actual farm feeding practices. The purpose of this study was to investigate the MUN and MP concentrations of individual cows and bulk tank milk to evaluate the dietary protein-energy balance from lactating Holstein cows. Mean MUN and MP concentrations in the milk samples obtained from 132,636 cows of 4,856 herd during Jan. 1999 to Dec. 2001 were 16.2 5.2mg/dl and 3.30 0.35%, respectively. The highest values were found during summer and lowest valued during winter in MUN. But, the average contents of MP were the highest during winter and the lowest during summer. In order to evaluate protein-energy balance for feeding, we set the level of recommended MP range of 2.90${\sim}$3.29% in early lactation considering a negative energy balance. The recommended level of MP in mid-lactation and late lactation were set as 3.10${\sim}$3.49%, and 3.30${\sim}$3.69%, respectively. Recommended MUN range of 12${\sim}$18 mg/dl was determined through the whole lactation period. Individual cows milk were analyzed by the 9 types based on this levels of MP and MUN in this study. Among the total cows investigated, 26.8%, 25.8%, and 22.2% have shown the recommended criteria of MP and MUN values, respectively. Also, of total herds surveyed, 11.6% had MUN values lower than 12.0 mg/dl and 32.9% had values higher than 18.0 mg/dl and 44.5% of total herd have not met with the recommended criteria of MP values in bulk tank milk. In case of MP, out of the total herd surveyed, 26.0% had MP values lower than 3.10% and 24.0% had values higher than 3.30% and 50.0% had MP values outside the recommended interval (3.1${\sim}$3.3%). This study has indicates that many dairy farms are under improper feeding management practice of the dietary protein-energy balance.

To study the relationship between certain hormones and metabolites and between hormones and milk yield during different stage of lactation, six lactating Karan Swiss cows and six Murrah buffaloes were maintained. Growth hormone, insulin, $T_3$, $T_4$, glucose, BHBA, NEFA and milk yield were studied. Highly negative relationship of growth hormone with insulin and triiodothyronine in cows and marginally negative in buffaloes suggest that insulin and triiodothyronine aid in the process of partitioning of nutrients towards milk production through reducing the demands of nutrients by peripheral tissue. The significant and negative correlation of growth hormone with dry matter intake in both the species suggest that the availability of nutrients from the digestive tract play a role in the regulation of growth hormone secretion. Positive relationship of growth hormone with non esterified fatty acids in both the species suggest that high growth hormone levels may result in fat mobilization and thereby increase the availability of energy precursors for milk synthesis. Insulin was negatively correlated with milk yield and lactose content and positively with milk fat and protein but the degree of relationship varied. In both the species the relationship between triiodothyronine and milk yield was negative and between thyroxine and milk yield was positive. However, it was significant only in cows and not in buffaloes. Thyroxine was positively correlated with beta-hydroxybutyrate and non-esterified fatty acids with milk yield in both the species.

Effect of pH, calcium, sucrose, heating and mixing ratio of soy and cow milk was studied on the viscosity and the sensory characteristics of cow-soy milk. The viscosity of soymilk was significantly affected by pH with showing maximum at 6.0 and the pH effect was decreased as the ratio of cow talk increased. A addition of sucrose or calcium affected little on the viscosity and a negative linear relationship was found be tween viscosity and an increase in cow milk ratio. Sensory characteristics of grassy and beany odor and taste of soymilk were rapidly decreased and nutty flavor and total acceptability were increased during initial 30 min of boiling. A further increase in boiling affected little on tastes and odors of soymilk. The beany odor and taste linearly decreased and milk flavor Increased as the ratio of cow milk increased. The total acceptability of 50 : 50 was found to be maximum for cow and soy mixed milks.
