Field trials and research works have shown that the sexually retarded pullets are better equipped to lay larger eggs at the commencement of lay than the pullets grown under the natural conditions with no control over the rate of maturity. The method of delaying the sexual maturity by restricting the nutrient intake is receiving a considerable attention from the research workers, since the nutrient restriction can be a method of reducing the rearing cost. Many experiments were carried out to study the effect of different methods of restricting the nutrient intake of the chicken. But the comparisons between these experiments are difficult because of the differences in the environment, management, type of breed and feed, and in the length of the time during which the feed intake was restricted. In addition the comparisons were not made on an economic basis in these experiments. This experiment was designed to provide information on the reproductive responses to three different methods of restricting the nutrient intake in a egg type stock and to establish which methods are economically profitable.

In two feeding experiments male and mixed-sex broiler chicks were offered diets based on sorghum and a wheatsorghum blend with two tiers of nutrient specifications, without and with microbial phytase (600 and 800 FTU/kg), from 7-25 and 1-42 days post-hatch, respectively. The nutrient specifications for protein, amino acids, energy density and phosphorus (P) of standard diets were reduced to formulate the modified diets on a least-cost basis. Calculated differences in nutrient specifications between standard and modified diets ranged from 14.3 to 17.1 g/kg crude protein, 0.24 to 0.40 MJ/kg apparent metabolisable energy (AME) and 1.06 to 1.20 g/kg available P. In both experiments, reduced nutrient specifications had a negative impact on growth rates and feed efficiency and phytase supplementation had a positive influence on growth performance and protein efficiency ratios (PER). Phytase addition to the less expensive, modified diets either partially or entirely compensated for reduced growth performance and, consequently, feed costs per kg of live weight gain were reduced. In Experiment 1, phytase increased (p<0.001) nitrogen-corrected AME (AMEn) from 15.39 to 15.89 MJ/kg dry matter. For nitrogen (N) retention there was an interaction (p<0.05) between diet type and phytase as the effects of phytase on N retention were more pronounced in the modified diets, with an increase from 0.512 to 0.561. These results demonstrate the positive effects of phytase on protein and energy utilisation, in addition to its established liberation of phytate-bound P and illustrate the feasibility of assigning nutrient replacement values to the feed enzyme for consideration in least-cost ration formulations. Further work is, however, required to define the most appropriate reductions in nutrient specifications in association with phytase supplementation.

동해 울릉도-독도 2정점에서 식물플랑크톤의 군집조성 및 수직적 영양염분포 특성과 표층 현장수를 이용하여 N, P, NP, Fe을 첨가하여 식물플랑크톤의 영양염소비 및 성장특성을 파악하였다. 현장에서 영양염류농도는 유광층 상부에서 낮았고, 100 m보다 깊은 수심에서 증가하였다. N:P비는 Redfield비(16)보다 표층에서 21-25로 높았고, 조사 최대심도인 400 m 층에서는 6 전후로 극히 낮게 관찰되었다. 식물플랑크톤의 총개체수는 St.UD3과 St.50에서 각각 $4.9{\times}10^5cells\;L^{-1}$과 $1.9{\times}10^5cells\;L^{-1}$로 관찰되었다. 주요 우점종은 St.UD3에서 침편모조류 Heterosigma akashiwo, 은편모조류 Crytomonas spp., 규조류 Leptocylindrus danicus로 파악되었고, St.50에서는 규조류 Chaetoceros socialis, H. akashiwo, L. danicus로 각각 관찰되었다. 영양염첨가실험의 +N과 +NP실험군에서 빠른 식물플랑크톤의 성장반응을 보였고, +P실험군에서는 대조군과 유사하게 식물플랑크톤 성장이 관찰되지 않았다. 아울러 Fe을 첨가한 대조군, +N, +P, +NP실험군에서 Fe을 첨가하지 않은 다른 실험군과 비교하여 형광값의 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다는 것은 Fe첨가에 따른 식물플랑크톤의 성장반응이 명확하지 않다는 것을 의미한다(p>0.05). 결과적으로 현장에서 우점한 H. akashiwo 와 L. danicus는 영양염이 추가적으로 공급된 환경의 생물검증실험에서도 빠르게 반응하여 높은 개체수로 우점한 것을 파악하였고, 특히 +Fe 실험군에서 L. danicus의 빠른 성장이 두드려졌다.

The green algae Scenedesmus acuminatus was cultured in different media: animal wastewater and an artificial culture medium in order to evaluate potential use for tertiary treatment. The experiments were conducted with air flowrate 1~2 L/min at $28{\sim}30^{\circ}C$. The nitrogen and phosphorus showed very similar removal efficiencies (68~77 % and 69~80 % for nitrogen and phosphorus respectively). The optimal fed period was estimated as three days in the semi-continuous experiment. The effects of $CO_2$ (4.5 %) injection on nutrient uptake from animal wastewater (biological treatment effluent) were compared to an air injection under the same conditions of light and photoperiod. The uptake rates of nutrient with air injection were observed 0.009 gN/gChl-a/day, 0.028 gN/gChl-a/day and T-P 0.003 gP/gChl-a/day for nitrate, total nitrogen and phosphorus respectively. The rates were enhanced by addition of $CO_2$ to 0.026 gN/gChl-a/day, 0.076 gN/gChl-a/day and T-P 0.018 gP/gChl-a/day. This study establishes that $CO_2$ addition during nutrient deprivation of microalgal cells may accelerate tertiary wastewater treatment.

동복호의 식물플랑크톤 성장을 제한하는 영양염을 파악하기 위하여 기존자료 분석과 계절별 영양염 첨가 배양 실험을 실시하였다. 장기간 자료를 분석한 결과, TN과 TP는 강우와 유의한 상관성을 보였지만 DIN, DIP는 강우와 유의한 상관성을 나타내지 않았다. TN/TP와 DIN/DIP는 16 이상의 결과를 나타냄으로서 인산염에 의하여 식물플랑크톤의 성장이 잠재적으로 제한될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 영양염 첨가 배양 실험을 수행한 결과, 모든 계절에서 클로로필 a가 인산염 첨가군에 반응을 나타내었지만 암모니아, 질산, 규산염과 같은 영양염에 대해서는 크게 반응하지 않았다. 또한 크기에 따른(net and nano size) 식물플랑크톤의 반응 역시 인산염에서 반응을 나타냄으로서 인산염이 식물플랑크톤의 성장을 제한하는 영양염임을 검정하였다. 가을철 배양실험에서 배양 전과 배양 후 인산염 첨가군의 우점종 변화를 보면, 배양 전에는 일부 유글레나류가 우점을 나타내었지만, 배양 후 인산염 첨가군에서는 규조류의 우점을 나타내었다.

To quantify nutrient loading from emergent macrophytes through leaching in the littoral zones of Paldang Reservoir, we conducted incubation experiments using leaf litter of the emergent macrophyte, Zizaniz latifolia. To separate the leaching process from microbial decay, we used $HgCl_2$ to suppress microbial activity during the experiment. We measured electric conductivity, absorbance at 280nm, total nitrogen and dissolved inorganic nitrogen, total phosphorus and soluble reactive phosphorus, Na, K, Mg and Ca amounts in leaf litter and in water. In addition, we examined the effects of water temperature and ion concentrations of ambient water on the leaching process. A total of 6% of the initial ash-free dry mass of leaf litter was lost due to leaching during incubation (four days). Electric conductivity and A280 continued to increase and saturate during the incubation. To compare reaching rates of different nutrients, we fitted leaching dynamics with a hyperbolic saturation function [Y=AㆍX/(B+X)]. From these fittings, we found that ratios of leaching amounts to nutrient concentration in the litter were in the order of K > Na > Mg > P > Ca > N. Leaching from leaf litter of Z. latifolia was dependent on water temperature while it was not related with ion concentrations in the ambient water. Our results suggest that the leaching process of nutrients, especially phosphorus, from aquatic macrophytes provides considerable contribution to the eutrophication of the Paldang Reservoir ecosystem.

Microalgal cultivation using wastewater is now regarded as essential for biodiesel production, as two goals can be achieved simultaneously; that is, nutrient removal efficiency and biomass production. Therefore, this study examined the effects of carbon sources, the N:P ratio, and the hydraulic retention time (HRT) to identify the optimal conditions for nutrient removal efficiency and biomass production. The effluent from a 2nd lagoon was used to cultivate microalgae. Whereas the algal species diversity and lipid content increased with a longer HRT, the algal biomass productivity decreased. Different carbon sources also affected the algal species composition. Diatoms were dominant with an increased pH when bicarbonate was supplied. However, 2% $CO_2$ gas led to a lower pH and the dominance of filamentous green algae with a much lower biomass productivity. Among the experiments, the highest chlorophyll-a concentration and lipid productivity were obtained with the addition of phosphate up to 0.5 mg/l P, since phosphorus was in short supply compared with nitrogen. The N and P removal efficiencies were also higher with a balanced N:P ratio, based on the addition of phosphate. Thus, optimizing the N:P ratio for the dominant algae could be critical in attaining higher algal growth, lipid productivity, and nutrient removal efficiency.

춘계와 하계 광양만에서 식물플랑크톤 군집구조와 그들의 성장에 영향을 미치는 영양염제한 특성을 파악하기 위해서 만내외측의 20개 정점에서 생물학적 요인과 무생물학적 요인을 조사했다. 또한 식물플랑크톤 군집에 대한 영양염 첨가 효과를 알아보기 위해서 실험실에서 현장 20개 정점의 표층수를 이용하여 생물검정실험을 수행하였다. 전체 식물플랑크톤 군집의 90%이상을 규조류가 차지하였다. 이들 규조류중 Eucampia zodiacus와 Skeletonema costatum-like 종이 춘계와 하계에 각각 우점하였다. E. zodiacus와 S. costatum-like 규조류의 개체군 밀도가 춘계와 하계에 높은 밀도를 유지하게 된 이유를 간단히 설명하면, E. zodiacus 의 성장은 춘계 투명도가 높게 나타나 유광층내 광량의 증가가 원인으로 생각된다. 즉 유광층내 광량의 증가는 E. zodiacus의 개체수를 폭발적으로 증가시킬 수 있는 방아쇠 역할을 한 것으로 판단된다. 하계에 S. costatum-like이 전해역에서 우점한 이유는, 섬진강 담수 유입에 의한 낮은 염분과 함께 공급된 다량의 영양염은 그들 생물의 증식에 중요한 bottom-up 효과를 보였다고 판단된다. 실험실의 생물검정실험에서는 비록 내만(정점 8)과 외해(정점 20)에서 식물플랑크톤 군집의 최대 성장율은 유사하였지만, 인산염에 대한 반포화계수($K_s$)는 내만정점보다 약간 낮았다. 상대적으로 낮은 영양염농도에 적응한 세포는 낮은 인산염농도에서 충분히 성장할 수 있고, 다른 미세조류에 비하여 낮은 영양염농도의 조건에서 경쟁의 우위를 차지 할 것이다. 특히, 하계의 N영양염 첨가군의 효율은 대조군과 P영양염 첨가군에 비해서 높았다. 이는 광양만에서 하계에 N영양염의 공급이 섬진강을 통하여 계속적으로 유입되지만, 빠른 식물플랑크톤의 증식으로 인하여 N영양염 제한이 일어날 수 있다는 것을 시사할 수 있다. 반면, 규산염은 식물플랑크톤의 성장에 영향을 미치는 제한인자로 나타나지 않았고, 규조류의 분해로 인하여 Si의 재순환과 담수로부터 공급된 높은 규산염농도는 광양만에서 규조류 생태계를 유지할수 있는 유리한 조건이라 생각된다.

The daily food intake for dairy cows has to be effectively controlled to breed a sound group of cows as well as to enhance the productivity of the cows. But, feed stuffs are fed in the common bulk for a group of cows in most cases despite that the individual food intake has to be varied. To obtain the feed for each cow, both the nutrient requirements and the nutrient composition of fred have to be provided in advance, which are based on the status of cows such as weigh marginal weight amount of milk, fat concentration in milk, growth and milking stages, and rough feed ratio, etc. Then, the mixed ration fur diet would be computed by the nutrient requirements constraints. However, when TMR (Total Mixed Ration) is conventionally supplied for a group of cows, it is almost impossible to get an optimal feed mixed ration meeting the nutrient requirements of each individual cow since the constraints are usually conflicting and over-constrained although they are linear. Hence, addressed in this paper is a simulated annealing (SA) technique to find the food intake for dairy cows, considering the characteristics of individual or grouped cows. Appropriate parameters fur the successful working of SA are determined through preliminary experiments. The parameters include initial temperature, epoch length. cooling scheduling, and stopping criteria. In addition, a neighborhood solution generation method for the effective improvement of solutions is presented. Experimental results show that the final solution for the mixture of feed fits the rough feed ratio and some other nutrient requirements such as rough fiber, acid detergent fiber, and neutral detergent fiber, with 100 percent, while fulfilling net energy for lactating, metabolic energy, total digestible nutrients, crude protein, and undegraded intake protein within average five percent.

For the test organism of algal growth potential (AGP), the diatom in the genus Stephanodiscus which cause blooms in the Nakdong River was used instead of generally used strains of Selenastrum, Microcystis, or Anabaena. AGP results indicated that all the samples in the Nakdong River except for that from the Nakdan Bridge site were eutrophic state. Furthermore, the sample from Kumho River site was hypertrophic state. In the main stream Nakdong River, the value of AGP was lowest at the upstream Nakdan Bridge site and was highest at Koryoung Bridge site which is just downstream of Kumho River confluent point indicating the seriousness of pollution contributed by the Kumho River to the Nakdong River. Changes in the concentration of nutrients before and after the AGP tests and inter-relationship among the nutrients indicated that the growth of the Stephanodiscus in the AGP tests were mostly affected by the nitrate, silicate and phosphate. The limiting nutrient was identified by the nutrient addition experiments and the results showed that phosphate was the limiting nutrient for the growth of Stephanodiscus in the tested samples.
