Effects of varied dietary energy densities on immune response and performance of Muzzafarnagari lambs were ascertained in a 180-d study. Animals (n = 24), in three groups, were fed diets providing 100% (100E), 80% (80E) or 70% (70E) of their metabolizable energy requirement. Mean nutrient digestibilities varied significantly among treatments. Nitrogen intake was lower (p<0.01) in the 70E. Nitrogen retention, was reduced (p<0.001) in 80E and 70E vs 100E. The average daily gain (p<0.001) was $47.01{\pm}4.23$, $13.54{\pm}1.72$ and $-16.67{\pm}8.24$ g for 100E, 80E and 70E, respectively. Hemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, total and differential leukocyte counts were lower (p<0.001) for 80E and 70E than for 100E with a similar trend (p<0.05) for serum glucose and total protein. Serum cortisol was reduced (p<0.001) with decreased energy availability. Antibody titre to Brucella abortus S19 showed an initial reduction in 80E and 70E vs 100E. Delayed-type hypersensitivity response was lower (p<0.001) in 80E and 70E vs 100E, accompanying a lower (p<0.001) nitric oxide production by the peripheral lymphocytes. It is concluded that the reduced dietary energy density significantly affects the growth performance and immune response of lambs.

The object of this study was to determine long-term temporal and spatial patterns of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), suspended solids, and chlorophyll (Chl) in Chungju Reservoir, based on the dataset of 1992 - 2013, and then to develop the empirical models of nutrient-Chl for predicting the eutrophication of the reservoir. Concentrations of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were largely affected by an intensity of Asian monsoon and the longitudinal structure of riverine (Rz), transition (Tz), and lacustrine zone (Lz). This system was nitrogen-rich system and phosphorus contents in the water were relatively low, implying a P-limiting system. Regression analysis for empirical model, however, showed that Chl had a weak linear relation with TP or TN, and this was mainly associated with turbid, and nutrient-rich inflows in the system. The weak relation was associated with non-algal light attenuation coefficients (Kna), which is inversely related water residence time. Thus, values of Chl had negative functional relation (R² = 0.25, p < 0.001) with nonalgal light attenuation. Thus, the low chlorophyll at a given TP indicated a light-limiting for phytoplankton growth and total suspended solids (TSS) was highly correlated (R² = 0.94, p < 0.001) with non-algal light attenuation. The relations of Trophic State Index (TSI) indicated that phosphorus limitation was weak [TSI (Chl) - TSI (TP) < 0; TSI (SD) - TSI (Chl) > 0] and the effects of zooplankton grazing were also minor [TSI (Chl) - TSI (TP) > 0; TSI (SD) - TSI (Chl) > 0].

Forty eight $Duroc{\times}Yorkshire{\times}Landrace$ pigs ($15.2{\pm}0.3kg$ average initial BW) were used conducted to evaluate the effects dietary phytase (Phytezyme, WOOJIN, Co. Ltd) supplementation on the growth performance and nutrient digestibility in growing pigs. There were three pigs per pen and four pens per treatment. Treatments were 1) Con (corn-wheat-SBM), 2) PE0.1 (low-P iet+0.1% Phytezyme), 3) PE0.2 (Iow-P diet+0.2% Phytezyme), 4) PE0.3 (low-P diet+0.3% Phytezyme). During d 0 to 28, average daily gain was not significantly different among the treatments. Pigs fed PE0.3 diet significantly decreased (p<0.05) their average daily feed intake compared to pigs fed Con diet. Also, gain/feed in pigs fed PE0.1 and PE0.3 diet was improved (p<0.05) compared to pigs fed Con and PE0.2 diet (p<0.05). For d 28 to 56, pigs fed PE0.2 diet grew significantly faster (p<0.05) than pigs fed Con and PE0.1 diet. Gain/feed was greater (p<0.05) for PE0.2 and PE0.3 treatments than for Con. For overall period, average daily gain was increased (P<0.05) by the addition of 0.2% Phytezyme compared with Con. Gain/feed was significantly improved (p<0.05) by supplementation of PE0.3. Pigs fed PE0.2 showed increased DM and N digestibilities compared to pigs fed other treatments. Supplemented diets PE0.2 and PE0.3 improved (p<0.05) the apparent digestibility of Ca and P compared to other treatments. In conclusion, the results obtained from these feeding trials suggest that the Phytezyme supplementation of diets for growing-finishing pigs had improved growth performance and nutrient availability.

Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of adding phytase on nutrient availability and serum Ca and P level and to determine the effects of phytase on laying performance and egg quality in laying hens. In Exp. 1, twenty four laying hens(1.9kg average body weight and 78.4% egg production) were allotted to four treatments. Treatments included 1) corn-soybean meal based-control diet and 2), 3) and 4) control diet with phytase 200, 400 and 600 unit/kg, respectively. There were no significant effects of treatments on dry matter and nitrogen digestibility(P〉0.05). Ash, Ca and P digestibility in layer fed diet with phytase were greater than those in layer fed control diet(P〈0.05). Laying hens fed diets with phytase 200 and 400 unit retained more Ca than those fed other treatments (P〈0.05). No statistical difference was found for Ca exsretion(P〉0.05). P retention was greater for laying hens fed diet phytase 600 unit than other treaments(P〈0.05). P level in serum was higher for laying hens fed diets with phytase 400 and 600 unit than for laying hens fed other treatments. In Exp. 2, three hundred, IAS Brown layer, 40-week-old, divided into two treatment groups(control vs phytase supplementation without inorganic phosphate in the diets) with five replications per treatment and 30 layers per replication were fed the diets for 6 weeks. Egg production, egg weight and eggshell breaking strength and thickness were not different significantly(P〉0.05). In conclusion, phytase supplementation can be used to increase P utilization and retention in laying hens. Also, phytase supplementation was effective to spare inorganic phosphate in laying hen diets without any adverse effects on production performances.

A viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state is a survival strategy adopted by bacteria when faced with unfavorable environmental conditions, rendering them unable to grow on nutrient agar while maintaining low metabolic activity. This study explored the impact of temperature and nutrient availability on inducing VBNC state in Edwardsiella piscicida, the most important bacterial fish pathogen, and assessed its pathogenicity at VBNC state. E. piscicida was suspended in filtered sterile seawater and exposed to three different temperatures (4, 10, and 25℃) to induce the VBNC state. Subsequently, the induced VBNC cells were subjected to resuscitation by either raising the temperature to 28℃ or inoculating them in brain heart infusion broth supplemented with 1% NaCl. A propidium monoazide (PMA)-qPCR method was also developed to selectively quantify live (VBNC or culturable) E. piscicida cells. The results showed that the bacteria entered the VBNC state after approximately 1 month at 4℃ and 25℃, and 2 months at 10℃. The VBNC E. piscicida cells were successfully revived within 3 days in a nutrient-rich environment at 28℃, highlighting the significance of temperature and nutrition in inducing and resuscitating the VBNC state. In pathogenicity tests, resuscitated E. piscicida cells exhibited high pathogenicity in olive flounder comparable to cultured bacteria, while VBNC cells showed no signs of infection, suggesting they are unlikely to resuscitate in fish. In conclusion, this study contributes to our understanding of fish pathogen ecology by investigating the characteristics of the VBNC state under varying temperature and nutrition conditions.

본 실험은 SCB(slurry composting and biofiltration) 액비의 방울 토마토(Solanum lycopersicum L. 'Unicon') 수경재배 이용가능성을 알아보기 위해 실시 되었다. 배양액처리 대조구로는 방울 토마토 전용 배양액(Control 1N)을 사용하였고, 이 배양액의 질소량($218.32mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$)을 기준으로 시판양액 1N(CNS 1N), SCB 1/2N, SCB 1N, SCB 2N을 타이머 제어에 의해 하루에 440~520mL을 공급하였다. 31일 동안 재배한 후 지상부 생체중과 건물중, 엽면적, 초장, 줄기직경, SPAD값, 마디수를 조사하였으며, 그 후 주 1회 총 7번의 과실을 수확하여 총 생산량과 상품성 과실 비율, 과실중, 당도와 산도, 과실의 총 페놀 농도 및 항산화도, 배꼽썩음병 발생률을 조사하였다. 그 결과 SCB처리 중에는 SCB 1/2N은 지상부 생체중 건물중, 엽면적, 줄기직경, 마디수 및 SPAD값에서 Control 1N 및 CNS 1N과 유의적 차이를 보이지 않으면서 우수한 생육을 유도하였다. SCB는 질소 농도가 증가하면서 점차로 생육의 저해현상을 보였다. 과실의 총 생산량은 Control 1N에서 가장 높았으며, SCB 처리중 생장이 가장 좋았던 SCB 1/2N 처리구는 Control 1N 총 생산량의 47%를 기록하였다. 상품성 과실 비율도 SCB 1N과 SCB 1/2N 처리구는 약 57~58%로 낮게 나타났다. 당도와 산도, 총 페놀 농도와 항산화도에서는 SCB 2N에서 가장 높은 수치를 보였고, 나머지 처리구와 대조구에서는 유의적으로 차이를 보이지 않았다. 배꼽썩음병은 Control 1N, CNS 1N에서는 발생하지 않았지만, SCB 2N, 1N, 1/2N 처리구는 각각 약 7, 13, 19%의 발생률을 나타내었다. 결론적으로 SCB 1/2N 처리는 Control 1N와 CNS 1N과 비교해서 방울 토마토의 영양생장에는 양호한 결과를 보였지만, 과실의 수량과 품질을 유지하지는 못했다. 따라서 SCB 액비는 방울토마토 시설 수경 재배에서 배양액으로의 가능성은 확인하였지만, 과실의 생산량과 상품성을 고려한다면 개화기 및 과실 비대기에 추가적인 무기 양분의 공급이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.

시설재배지 토양의 축적양분인 염류를 활용하기 위해 EC가 높은 토양에 여러 킬레이트제를 처리하여 토양의 화학성과 작물의 무기성분 흡수량을 비교 분석하였다. DTPA와 EDTA를 처리한 구에서 킬레이트제는 Ca, Mg, K, P등의 다량원소 뿐만 아니라 Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn 등의 미량원소와 킬레이트 하는 능력이 뛰어났다. 그러나, 토양의 ECDTPA를 처리한 는 EDTA를 처리한 토양보다 낮아졌다. 킬레이트제가 처리된 토양에서 생육한 배추의 무기성분 흡수량을 살펴본 결과 DTPA 0.5 mM 처리한 구에서 배추의 T-N, $P_2O_5$, $K_2O$, 그리고 Fe의 흡수량은 다른 처리구보다 높았다. 이로부터 시설재배지의 집적된 양분을 킬레이트화하여 작물의 양분 이용성을 증대하는 데 효과적인 킬레이트제는 DTPA이며, 적정한 농도는 0.5 mM로 나타났다.

The nutritional worth of Phalaris minor seeds was assessed in comparison to conventional cereal grains like maize and wheat. P. minor seeds had higher total ash and cell wall constituents as compared to wheat and maize grains. The CP content of P. minor was comparable to wheat grains but higher than maize grains. The in vitro studies revealed that the net gas production and availability of ME from P. minor was comparable to that of maize but the digestibility of nutrients was significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of conventional cereal grains. The digestion kinetic parameters for DM and CP revealed that P. minor had the highest (p<0.05) soluble fraction (a) followed by wheat and maize. Reverse trend was observed for insoluble but potentially degradable fraction (b). The effective and true DM and CP degradability was significantly (p<0.05) higher in wheat grains followed by that in P. minor and maize grains. The digestibility of OM and NDF was not affected by replacing cereal grains in concentrate mixture with P. minor seeds up to 75 per cent level. But the availability of ME from concentrate mixtures was comparable to control only up to 50% level of replacement. Replacement of cereal grains with P. minor did not affect the rapidly soluble fraction and insoluble but potentially degradable fraction of concentrate mixture containing P. minor up to 75 per cent, but it was depressed significantly at 100% replacement level. The effective and true degradability of DM of concentrate mixtures containing P. minor from 50 to 100 per cent was comparable to that of conventional concentrate mixture (CCM). The wheat based concentrate mixtures showed higher net gas production (208 vs. 201 ml/g DM/24 h), digestibility of nutrients and ME availability (9.64 vs. 9.54 MJ/kg DM) as compared to maize based concentrate mixture. The wheat based concentrate mixture had significantly (p<0.05) higher rumen undegradable fraction and effective degradability. The data conclusively revealed that conventional cereal grains could be replaced with P.minor seeds up to 75 per cent without affecting the availability of nutrients.

본 연구는 서부 호주의 Durokoppin 자연 보호 구역에 서식하고 있는 흰개미에 의해 수확되어 개미집에 저장되어 있는 식물유체와 영양물질 함량을 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 개미집에 저장된 식물유체의 경우 두 조사지역간의 유의적 차이는 없었으며, 개미집에 저장된 식물유체를 분류한 결과 잎과 가지 등 7가지 종류의 식물 유체로 확인되었다. 개미집 내 저장된 식물유체의 영양물질 함량은 유의적 차이는 없었지만 shrubland 보다 Woodland가 높았으며, 영양물질 총량 역시 shrubland보다 Woodland가 많았다. 연구결과를 종합해 보면 흰개미는 조사지역에서 다양한 종류의 식물유체를 수확하여 이용하고 있으며, 조사지역내 토양 유기물 함량이 적은 점을 고려할 때 생태계 영양물질 순환에 있어서 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

This report concerns the role of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in bacterial pustule disease of soybean. Pustule production in soybean leaves caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines was accompanied by a drastic increase in IAA content of host tissues. The phytopathogenic bacterium synthesized IAA in a tryptophan concentration-dependent manner when grown in a defined minimal medium. In complex media, however, the pathogen showed no response to tryptophan feeding, implying that the bacterial biosynthetic machinery of IAA is strictly regulated by nutrient availability of its growth environments. The results may suggest that IAA of bacterial origin and tryptophan of plant origin be involved in the process of pustule symptom development in soybean.
