  • Knowledge concerning the nutritional requirements and nutritional problems of fanned deer is limited. Nutritional recommendations must be based on data from domestic ruminants and fanned deer. An understanding of the biology and adaptative characteristics of wild deer is essential for sensible application of sheep and cattle nutritional principles. Nutritional requirements of deer are generally separated into five categories: energy, protein, minerals, vitamins and water. Research on deer nutrition has primarily focused on energy, protein and minerals (phosphorus and calcium). Changes in the nutritional requirements that occur with gestation, lactation, breeding and antler growth should be coordinated with seasonal changes in nutrient availability from forage plants. This paper describes aspects of current knowledge of energy, protein, minerals, vitamins and water requirements. Nutritional problems of. fanned deer are described with recommendations for prevention or control. A comparison of production efficiency of deer, lamb, beef cattle and dairy cattle is included.

  • Inspiratory pneumoniais one of the common complications in stroke patients who have dysphagia. Pneumonia due to Klebsiella bacteria shows higher fatality than other bacteria. For this reason, K. pneumoniae can be fatal to immune deficient patients. The purpose of this paper is to report the adapting pattern identification according to principles of defense, Gi, nutrients and blood on K. pneumoniae treatment. In this case, improvement was seen in a stroke patient with dysphagia diagnosed with K. pneumoniae by X-ray, sputum culture, and by using Cheonghobyulgaptang as a way of nourishing Eum and clearing heat, because in this case K. pneumoniae was presumed to cause Eumdeficiency due to the chronic low fever, cough, sputum and weakness. This paper proposes that adapting pattern identification according to principles of defense. Gi, nutrients and blood can increase the efficiency of K. pneumoniae treatment.

  • This study was carried out to get efficient of nutrient removal and wastage sludge production minimized effects on the treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater using aerobic curtain biological film contact process. As a results of biofilm attachment experiment aggravation of water quality due to excessive biofilm showed after every 15 days of operating times. The concentration of BOD and COD in the influent were 2500~3000mg/L and 1700~2100mg/L , respectively. The average BOD and CoD were 9mg/L and 17mg/L , respectively. The result of this experiment was wastage sludge did not almost generated and the removal efficiency of nutrients were kept equilibrium.

  • This study was made for enhanced removal of N and P by intermittented aeration Activated Sludge Process. Experiment were conducted to find the effects of aeration interval and nutrient removal efficiency. When applied aeration interval were 30~60 min, 2~4 h, 4~8 h, organic matter was not affected while phosphorous removal was aeration interval 30~60 min. Also, when applied mixing intensity were 15, 30, 45 and 60 rpm, organic matter was not affected while removal was maximum at 15 rpm. Total nitrogen and phosphorous removal were in the range of 76 and 85%. Density and MLSS of Sludge were in the range of 2.3~2.6 and 7198~7810 mg/l. Release of phosphorous from activated sludge under unaerobic condition was increased as pass time.

  • Two hundred and ten post-larvae (PL) of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (14.5-14.9 mg) were equally distributed in two experimental groups and fed with either steam cooked or extruded pellet for a period of 60 days. Physical evaluation and growth promoting effect of both the pellets were assessed. Significantly higher (p<0.05) water stability, absorption and protein efficiency ratio (PER) were recorded in extruded pellet than the steam cooked pellet. Nutrient loss was minimum in the extruded pellet for which lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) (p<0.05) was recorded in this group. However, weight gain, relative growth and specific growth rate (SGR) in both the groups were not significantly different (p>0.05). Although insignificant (p>0.05) but higher amylase activity was recorded in steam pellet fed group. Survival was not affected by feeding either of the diets.

  • Four isocaloric (68.71, 67.07, 66.68 and 66.25% TDN) and isonitrogenous (12.96, 13.36, 13.36 and 12.96% CP) diets without or with 20, 25 and 30% broiler litter were fed to 20 male kids for 90 days. Weight gain and feed efficiency were higher (p < 0.05) for kids offered control diets as compared to kids fed diets containing broiler litter. There was a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in the feed intake with increasing level of broiler litter in the diets. Digestibility for organic matter, crude protein and crude fibre were not affected (p > 0.05) by the inclusion of broiler litter in the diets, whereas inclusion of broiler litter depressed (p < 0.05) the digestibility of dry matter and ash. Nitrogen balance was positive for all diets, however, nitrogen retention decreased (p < 0.01) with the increased level of broiler litter. Blood Na, K, Ca, P and urea-N were within normal range.

  • Biotechnology will play critical role in improving animal productivity. Animal growth rate and muscle deposition potential can be greatly improved by the application of biotechnology and biotechnological products. Administration of recombinant somatotropin (ST) or other compounds such as IGF-1 and growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs) can enhance growth rate and carcass lean percentage. Gene transfer offers a powerful approach to manipulate endocrine system and metabolic pathways toward faster growth and better feed efficiency. Biotechnology is also extensively used for improving metabolism and activity of gut microorganisms for better nutrient digestibility. Knockout of growth-inhibiting genes such as myostatin results in considerable acceleration of body weight and muscle growth. Animal growth can also be improved by the use of gene therapy. Immunomodulation is another approach for efficient growth through controlling the activity of endogenous anabolic hormones. All the above aspects will be discussed in this review.

  • The established mathematical modeling methods have limitation to know the hydraulic characteristics at the wastewater treatment plant which are complex and nonlinear systems. So, an artificial neural network (ANN) model based on hydraulic characteristics is applied for modeling wastewater quality of a full-scale wastewater treatment plant using DNR (Daewoo nutrient removal) process. ANN was trained using data which are influents (TSS, BOD, COD, TN, TP) and effluents (COD, TN, TP) components in a year, and predicted the effluent results based on the training. To raise the efficiency of prediction, inputs of ANN are added the influent and effluent information that are in yesterday and the day before yesterday. The results of training data tend to have high accuracy between real value and predicted value, but test data tend to have lower accuracy. However, the more hydraulic characteristics are considered, the results become more accuracy.

  • The problem for the removal of phosphorus increased due to reasons like eutrophication control. However its removal and operating criteria were not well developed. This study was made for enhanced removal of P by iron contactor by intermittent aeration activated sludge process. Experiment was conducted to find the effects of organic substance load and HRT, nutrient removal efficiency. When applied organic substance load and HRT, II &III reactor were good treatment efficient while come from Fe of iron contactor. Release of phophorus from II &III reactor sludge under anaerobic condition was low. As the process developed, the content of released ionized Fe from iron contactor increased. In addition, the rate of phosphorus removal became accelerating, and the removed sludge was stabilized in the existence of insoluble status.

  • The purpose of this study is to remove the organics, nitrogen and phosphorus using biosorption for the domestic sewage. The new process using biosorption is based on the methods of contact-stabilization, which remove the organics by absorbing them to the surface of the microorganism in the activated sludge. This process consists of biosorption reactor, biosorption clarifier, nitrifying reactor, nitrifying clarifier, denitrifying reactor, phosphorus uptake(polishing) reactor and final clarifier. The efficiency of removal could be reached 91% for organics, 76% for nitrogen, 90% for phosphorus in Eujungbu pilot plant. We operated the plant which irrigated $10m^3$ per day for sewage. During our operation the HRT(Hydraulic Retention time) was maintained for 10.5hr, but it could be reduced as 8.5hr according to our operation results.
