Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping can be applied to detect chromosomal locations that control economic traits in farm animals. Teat number has been considered as one of the most important factors to evaluate mothering ability of sow. Especially, teat number is more important when the number is less than the litter size. This study was conducted to identify QTL affecting teat number in the Korean native pig${\times}$Landrace resource family. A total of 240 animals was genotyped for 132 polymorphic microsatellites covering the 18 pig autosomes. Mean and standard deviation of teat number in $F_2$animals is 13.46${\pm}$1.40. QTL was analyzed using F2 QTL Analysis Servlet of QTL express. A QTL for teat number on SSC9 was significant at the 1% chromosome-wide level and three suggestive QTL were detected on SSC3, 7 and 14. All QTL detected in this study had additive effect and Landrace alleles were associated with higher teat number in comparison with Korean native pig for three of four QTL.

본 연구는 우리나라 중부지역에 소재한 민간 종돈장에서 1998년부터 2008년까지 분만한 요크셔종 26,390복과 랜드레이스종 26,713복의 번식성적을 근거로 산자수와 성비에 대한 유전력과 육종가를 추정하고, 각 모형별로 추정된 육종가를 비교하고자 실시하였다. 본 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 요크셔종과 랜드레이스종의 총산자수에 대한 평균과 표준오차는 각각 $11.35{\pm}0.02$두, $10.97{\pm}0.02$두로 조사되었으며, 생시 생존자돈수에 대한 평균과 표준오차는 각각 $10.04{\pm}0.02$두, $9.98{\pm}0.02$두로 조사되었다. 또한 생시 생존 자돈수 중에서 암컷이 차지하는 비율로 계산한 성비의 평균치는 요크셔종에서 $45.75{\pm}0.11%$, 그리고 랜드레이스종에서 $45.75{\pm}0.11%$로 조사되어 두 품종 모두 암컷의 비율이 수컷의 비율보다 낮게 나타났다. 모델 l을 적용하여 분석한 총산자수에 대한 유전력은 요크셔종과 랜드레이스종에서 각각 $0.243{\pm}0.009$, $0.241{\pm}0.009$로 추정되어 두 품종에서 모두 다른 모델들(모델 2~모델 5)을 적용하여 추정된 유전력 보다 높게 추정되었다. 모델 3, 4, 5를 적용하여 분석한 총산자수에 대한 유전력과 반복력은 요크셔종에서 각각 $0.096{\pm}0.012{\sim}0.103{\pm}0.013$ 및 $0.211{\pm}0.008{\sim}0.215{\pm}0.008$의 범위로 추정되었고, 랜드레이스종에서 각각 $0.108{\pm}0.013{\sim}0.114{\pm}0.013$ 및 $0.210{\pm}0.008{\sim}0.214{\pm}0.008$의 범위로 추정되어 두 품종 모두 모델들 간(모델 3~모델 5)의 유전력과 반복력 추정치는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 모델 1을 적용하여 분석한 생시 생존 자돈수에 대한 유전력은 요크셔종과 랜드레이스종에서 각각 $0.192{\pm}0.009$ 그리고 $0.209{\pm}0.009$로 다른 모델들을 이용하여 분석된 유전력에 비해 높게 추정되었다. 모델 2를 이용하여 분석한 유전력과 반복력은 요크셔종에서 $0.102{\pm}0.012$ 및 $0.170{\pm}0.008$, 랜드레이스종의 경우 $0.091{\pm}0.012$ 및 $0.179{\pm}0.008$로 추정되었고, 모델 3, 4, 5를 이용하여 추정한 유전력과 반복력은 요크셔종에서 $0.096{\pm}0.012{\sim}0.099{\pm}0.012$ 및 $0.188{\pm}0.008{\sim}0.193{\pm}0.008$의 범위로 추정되었으며, 랜드레이스종의 경우 $0.092{\pm}0.012{\sim}0.098{\pm}0.012$ 및 $0.193{\pm}0.008{\sim}0.196{\pm}0.008$의 범위로 추정되어 두 품종 모두 모델 2, 3, 4, 5간의 유전력과 반복력은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 돼지의 산자수와 관련된 유전력은 환경적인 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 알려져 있는데 본 연구에서도 잔차의 분산이 매우 높게 추정되었기 때문에 저도의 유전력과 반복력이 추정되는 결과를 나타내었다. 모델별로 추정된 총산자수와 생시 생존 자돈수에 대한 육종가를 기준으로 각 개체의 순위를 정한 후 이 순위간의 상관을 구하였을 때 두 품종 모두 모델 1과 2는 다른 모델과 정의 상관을 보였지만 모델 3, 4, 5 간의 순위 상관 계수보다 낮은 경향을 나타냈으며, 모델 3, 4, 5 간의 육종가 순위 상관은 0.99 이상의 고도의 정의 상판을 나타내어 모델 3, 4, 5를 이용하여 추정된 개체들의 육종가 순위는 모델 간에 큰 차이를 보이지 않을 것으로 판단된다. 모델 1~모델 6을 적용하여 추정한 성비에 대한 유전력은 요크셔종과 랜드레이스종에서 각각 $0.002{\pm}0.002{\sim}0.003{\pm}0.002$, $0.001{\pm}0.002{\sim}0.003{\pm}0.002$의 범위로 추정되어 어떤 한 모델을 적용 하더라도 0에 가깝게 추정되었다. 따라서 선발을 통해 성비를 조절 하는 것은 불가능하다고 판단된다.

Oviduct-specific glycoprotein 1 (OVGP1) is implicated in playing a role in fertilization and early embryo development. In this study, we have obtained the sequence of intron 9 of OVGP1 gene in swine. Comparative sequencing of Meishan (a native Chinese breed) and Large White pig breeds revealed an A/T substitution at position 943. A PCR-EcoRI-RFLP assay was developed to detect this mutation. Polymorphism analysis in Qingping animals showed that pigs with BB genotype had lower number of piglets born alive (NBA) in multiple parities than pigs with AA (p<0.05) and AB genotype (p<0.01). In Large $White{\times}Meishan$ ($LW{\times}M$) $F_2$ offspring, the weight of both ovaries (OW) of the BB genotype was significantly lighter than that of AB (p = 0.05) and AA (p<0.01) genotypes. Analysis of the data also revealed that the mutation locus affected these two traits mostly by additive effects. These studies indicated that the polymorphism was associated with NBA and OW in two distinct populations and further investigations in more purebreds or crossbreds are needed to confirm these results.

During the period of December 1992 (winter-spring) and from February 1995 (winter-spring), the leaf processing rates of oak (Quercus serrata) and tulip (Liriodendron tulipifera) tree was investigated in the headwater streams in southeastern part of Korea in conjunction with the distribution pattern of macroinvertebrate fauna. Using two types of bags ($10\times30cm$ with 5 g of dry leaves; open bag with holes, closed bag without holes), decomposition rates of oak and tulip tree by shredder and/or microbiota at a reatively undisturbed 2nd-order stream were compared, Regardless of leaf type, leaves in the open bage decomposed slightly faster than those in the closed bags. In the 1992 experiment, osk leaves decomposed much slower than tulip leaves (after 138 degree days, osk : closed, 0.006% loss/day ; open, 0.008 ; tulip: closed, 0.021 ; open, 0.023; n=2). The of the first experiment using oak leaves in 1995 were similar to those of the first experiment (after 151 degree days, oak: closed, 0.005% loss / day; open, 0.006; n=6). Over 50% of invertebrates from 122 leaf pack samples collected from 12 streams during the winter period of 1994 were identified as shredders (shredder, 56.2; collector, 32.7; scraper, 8.65; predator, 2.45%). Among shredders, Gammarus sp. and Tipula sp. were dominant species in terms of number and biomass (8.2 ind./g, 1.0 ind./g AFDW of leaves). Among many physico-chemical parameters, the width of stream channel was found to be the most influential factor in the distribution of Gammarus and Tipula (Gammarus: r=-0.34, P<0.001;Tipula:r=0.40, P<0.001). Considering the fact that oak is one the dominant riparian vegetation in the southeastern part of korea, the patterns of oak processing and shredder distribution shown in theis study may well represent some of the important characteristics of headwater steams in southeastern Korea.

The present study investigated the impacts of mating age of gilts (A1, < 230 days; A2, 230 - 249 days and A3, $250{\leq}days$) on reproductive performance and litter size of sows at farrowing to weaning. A total of 102 crossbred gilts ($Yorkshire{\times}Landrace$; average days old, 90 days) were purchased from a commercial breeding company. After identification of third estrus, the gilts were artificially inseminated using semen of Duroc boars. Pregnant pigs were allotted to one of three groups including A1, A2, and A3. Experimental diets and water were fed ad libitum during each experimental period which included the first, second, and third parities. Backfat thickness (BFT) of sows was higher in A3 at farrowing in the first parity than in others. At weaning time in the second parity, sows in A3 group showed a numerically higher BFT than those in A1. There was no effect of mating age on the total number of piglets born and total weaned piglets. There was a tendency to decrease the wean-to estrus-interval in the first parity as age increased at mating. Results obtained in the present study indicate that the first mating age does not affect the subsequent parites' reproductive performance; however, weaned to estrus interval tended to decrease in A2 at the first parity.

The aims of the study were to analyze (1) the effects of Prosopis juliflora (Prosopis) on the spatial distribution and soil seed banks (SSB) diversity and density, (2) the effects of environmental factors on SSB diversity and density (number of seeds in the soil per unit area), and (3) the effects of animal fecal droppings on SSB diversity, density, and dispersal. Aboveground vegetation data were collected from different Prosopis-infested habitats from quadrats (20 × 20 m) in Prosopis thickets, Prosopis + native species stand, non-invaded woodlands, and open grazing lands. In each Prosopis-infested habitats, soil samples were collected from the litter layer and three successive soil layer, i.e., 0-3 cm, 3-6 cm, and 6-9 cm. Seeds from soil samples and animal fecal matter were separated in the green house using the seedling emergence technique. Invasion of Prosopis had significant effects on the soil seed bank diversity. Results revealed that the mean value of the Shannon diversity of non-invaded woodlands was being higher by 19.2%, 18.5%, and 11.0% than Prosopis thickets; Prosopis + native species stand and open grazing lands, respectively. The seed diversity and richness, recovered from 6-9-cm-deep layer were the highest. On the other hand, the density of Prosopis seeds was the highest in the litter layer. About 156 of seeds/kg (92.9%) of seeds were germinated from cattle fecal matter. However, in a small proportion of seedlings, 12 of seeds/kg (7.1%) were germinated from shot fecal matter. Thus, as the seeds in the soil were low in the study areas, in situ and ex situ conservation of original plants and reseeding of persistent grass species such as Cynodon dactylon, Cenchrus ciliaris, Chrysopogon plumulosus, and Brachiaria ramosa are recommended.

Pitfall traps that use ethylene glycol as a preservative solution are commonly used in arthropod research. However, a recent surge in cases involving damage to these traps by roe deer or wild boars owing to the sweet taste of ethylene glycol has prompted the addition of quinone sulfate, a substance with a pungent taste, to deter such wildlife interference. This study aimed to assess the effects of quinone sulfate on arthropods collected from pitfall traps containing ethylene glycol. We strategically positioned 50 traps using ethylene glycol alone and 50 traps containing a small amount of quinone sulfate mixed with ethylene glycol in a grid pattern for systematic sampling at the Gwangneung Forest long-term ecological research (LTER) site. Traps were collected 10 days later. The results revealed a notable effect on ants when quinone sulfate was introduced. Specifically, it decreased the number of ants. In a species-specific analysis of ants, only Nylanderia flavipes showed a significant decline in response to quinone sulfate, whereas other ant species remained unaffected. Additionally, among the arthropod samples obtained in this survey, we identified species or morpho-species of spiders, beetles, and ants and assessed species diversity. Consequently, the utilization of quinone sulfate should be undertaken judiciously, taking into account the specific species composition and environmental characteristics of the monitoring site. Our study also highlighted the significant response of various arthropod groups to variations in leaf litter depth, underscoring the crucial role of the leaf litter layer in providing sustenance and shelter for ground-foraging arthropods. Furthermore, we have compiled comprehensive species lists of both spiders and ants in Gwangneung forest by amalgamating data from this investigation with findings from previous studies.

One hundred and twenty nine primiparous sows were used to determine the effects of alternative processing procedures and feeding systems on the nutritional value of sorghum grain-based diets for lactating sows. Treatments were a ground sorghum control, steam-flaked sorghum and extruded sorghum fed in meal form and the ground sorghum control given as pellets or gruel (1:1 ratio of water and feed on a volume:volume basis). Average daily feed intake was greater for sows fed pelleted and gruel diet forms than sow fed the diets with steam-flaked and extruded sorghum (p<0.04). However, no differences occurred in sow weight or backfat losses among the treatments (p>0.14). Number of pigs weaned and livability rates were similar among treatments except that steam-flaked sorghum supported greater litter weight gains than extruded sorghum (p<0.02). Apparent digestibilities of DM, N and GE in sows fed steam-flaked and extruded sorghum were greater (p<0.001) than in sows fed pelleted or gruel diets. Of the various treatments, sows fed extruded sorghum tended to have the highest digestibilities of DM, N and GE, and lowest excretions of DM and N in the faeces. Severity of ulceration was not significantly affected by treatments (p>0.35), but keratinization was greatest for sows fed extruded sorghum (p<0.01). In conclusion, the alternative processing methods (steam-flaking and extrusion) and feeding system (pellets and gruel) had little effect on sow and litter performance. However, nutrient digestibilities were improved for all treatments that involved heating (steam flaking, extrusion and pelleting) and, thus, these treatments resulted in less fecal excretion of DM and N.

Twenty-three crossbred (Yorkshire $\times$ Duroc $\times$ Hampshire $\times$ Chester White) primiparous sows were used to evaluate the effects of the mineral-salt laxative in lactation diets on sow and litter performance. The sows were fed a sorghum-extruded soybean-based diet with .85% lysine, .90% Ca, .80% P, and 3.2 Mcal ME/kg. Sow body weight (p > .54) and backfat loss (p > .61), average daily feed intake (p > .42), and litter weight gain (p > .74) were not affected by the mineral-salt laxative in the diet. However, survivability of piglets was greater (p < .06) for sows with the mineral-salt laxative in their diet and, thus, number of pigs weaned was increased. As expected, fecal moisture was increased (p < .09) in sows fed the mineral-salt laxative. Apparent digestibilities of DM, N, and GE were not affected by treatment (p > .26). After weaning, stomachs were collected and scored for ulcers and keratinization using a scoring system of 0 = normal to 3 = severe. Severity of ulceration and keratinization was not significantly affected by treatment (row mean scores differ test p > .25), but scores for sows fed the diet containing the mineral-salt laxative were numerically lower than sows fed the control diet. Thus, our data indicate that sows fed the mineral-salt laxative during lactation had improved piglet survivability, greater fecal moisture, and tended to have fewer lesions in the mucosa of the stomach.
