A total of 125 pigs (5.8 kg of BW) were allotted in a completely randomized block design. Treatments were coconut oil, corn oil, soybean oil, tallow and tallow+lecithin. Each treatment had 5 replicates with 5 pigs per replicate. From d 0 to 7, pigs fed vegetable oil supported greater average daily gain (ADG) and improved feed/gain (F/G) compared to pigs fed the animal fat. Addition of lecithin to tallow increased ADG by 7.2%. Feed intake were similar for all treatment groups. From d 8 to 14, pigs fed coconut oil and soy oil showed better ADG and average daily feed intake (ADFI) than any of the others. From d 15 to 21, pigs fed the tallow diets had lower gains (p < 0.05) than those fed diets that contained vegetable oil and tallow with added lecithin. The effect of different fat sources on gain became smaller with age. Feed intakes were similar between the vegetable oil and lecithin supplemented diets each week postweaning except for pigs fed tallow (p < 0.05). Feed : gain ratios were superior during the initial 2 weeks postweaning period when pigs were provided vegetable oil diet compared with pigs fed tallow. All pig groups had similar feed : gain ratios during 3 weeks. Combinations of tallow with lecithin tended to have intermediate feed/gain ratio. It was found that vegetable oils were much better in improving growth rate of the piglets. Lecithin significantly improved growth rate and feed efficiency of the pigs through the whole experimental period compared to tallow. Coconut oil was the most effective in improving growth of pigs during the first two weeks postweaning. Corn oil had equal value with soy oil in improving growth performance of weaned pigs. When vegetable oil was added, the digestibilities of nutrients except for minerals were higher than when the tallow was fed. Nutrients digestibility was similar among vegetable oils. The addition of lecithin to tallow increased digestibility of gross energy, dry matter, ether extract and crude protein. Crude ash and phosphorus digestibility were not affected by the treatments. Dry matter excretion was not different among treatments except for tallow which showed significantly higher dry matter excretion (p < 0.05), while nitrogen excretion was significantly decreased in pigs fed vegetable oil sources. However, Phosphorus excretion was not affected by the different fat sources.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of feeding an Escherichia coli (E. coli) derived phytase to pigs fed P deficient, corn-soybean meal diets. In Exp. 1, one hundred and twenty crossbred piglets ($9.53{\pm}0.84$ kg) were allocated to one of five treatments which consisted of four low P diets (0.61% Ca, 0.46% total P and 0.24% non-phytate P) supplemented with 0, 500, 1,000, or 20,000 FTU/kg E. coli phytase as well as a positive control formulated to be adequate in all nutrients (0.77% Ca, 0.62% total P and 0.42% non-phytate P). The treatments were applied to six pens with four pigs per pen for 28 days. In Exp. 2, ten crossbred pigs ($19.66{\pm}1.16$ kg) fitted with ileal T-cannula were used in a nutrient balance study. The pigs were assigned to treatments similar to those used in Exp. 1 in a doubly replicated $5{\pm}4$ incomplete Latin square design (5 diets with 4 periods). Each period consisted of a 5-d adjustment period followed by a 3-d total collection of feces and urine and then a 2-d collection of ileal digesta. Supplementation with phytase linearly increased (p<0.05) weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency, bone breaking strength and fat-free dry and ash bone weight. There were linear increases (p<0.01) in the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of DM, GE, CP, Ca, total P, inositol hexaphosphate ($IP_6$) and some AA with increasing dose of E. coli phytase. Pigs fed 20,000 FTU/kg had a greater (p<0.05) AID of IP6 (80% vs 59% or 64%, respectively) than pigs fed diets with 500 or 1,000 FTU/kg phytase. There were linear increases (p<0.05) in the total tract digestibility of Ca, total P, Na, K, Mg, and Zn as well as in the retention of Mg and Zn with increased phytase dose. The retention and utilization of Cu, and the total tract digestibility of CP and Cu quadratic increased (p<0.05) with increased phytase dose. In conclusion, supplementation of 500 FTU of phytase/kg and above effectively hydrolyzed phytate in low-P corn-soybean diets for pigs. In addition, a super dose of phytase (20,000 FTU/kg) hydrolyzed most of the IP6 and consequently further improved mineral use, protein utilization and performance.

Constructed wetlands are being used for the removal of nutrients from livestock wastewater. However, natural vegetation typically used in constructed wetlands does not have marketable value. As an alternative, agronomic plants grown under flooded or saturated soil conditions that promote denitrification can be used. Studies on constructed wetlands for swine wastewater were conducted in wetland cells that contained either natural wetland plants or a combination of soybeans and rice for two years with the objective of maximum nitrogen reduction to minimize the amount of land required for terminal treatment. Three systems, of two 3.6 by 33.5 m wetland cells connected in series were used; two systems each contained a different combination of emergent wetland vegetation: rush/bulrush (system 1) and bur-reed/cattail (system 2). The third system contained soybean (Glycine max) in saturated-soil-culture (SSC) in the first cell, and flooded rice (Oryza sativa) in the second cell. Nitrogen (N) loading rates of 3 and $10kg\;ha^{-1}\;day^{-1}$ were used in the first and second years, respectively. These loading rates were obtained by mixing swine lagoon liquid with fresh water before it was applied to the wetland. The nutrient removal efficiency was similar in the rush/bulrush, bur-reed/cattails and agronomic plant systems. Mean mass removal of N was 94 % at the loading rate of $3kg\;N\;ha^{-1}\;day^{-1}$ and decreased to 71% at the higher rate of $10kg\;N\;ha^{-1}\;day^{-1}$. The two years means for above-ground dry matter production for rush/bulrushes and bur-reed/cattails was l2 and $33Mg\;ha^{-1}$, respectively. Flooded rice yield was $4.5Mg\;ha^{-1}$ and soybean grown in saturation culture yielded $2.8Mg\;ha^{-1}$. Additionally, the performance of seven soybean cultivars using SSC in constructed wetlands with swine wastewater as the water source was evaluated for two years, The cultivar Young had the highest yield with 4.0 and $2.8Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in each year, This indicated that production of acceptable soybean yields in constructed wetlands seems feasible with SSC using swine lagoon liquid. Two microcosms studies were established to further investigate the management of constructed wetlands. In the first microcosm experiment, the effects of swine lagoon liquid on the growth of wetland plants at half (about 175 mg/l ammonia) and full strength (about 350 mg/l ammonia) was investigated. It was concluded that wetland plants can grow well in at least half strength lagoon liquid. In the second microcosm experiment, sequencing nitrification-wetland treatments was studied. When nitrified lagoon liquid was added in batch applications ($48kg\;N\;ha^{-1}\;day^{-1}$) to wetland microcosms the nitrogen removal rate was four to five times higher than when non-nitrified lagoon liquid was added. Wetland microcosms with plants were more effective than those with bare soil. These results suggest that vegetated wetlands with nitrification pretreatment are viable treatment systems for removal of large quantities of nitrogen from swine lagoon liquid.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate nutritive value of cell mass from lysine production (CMLP) as a protein supplement for ruminants. In each experiment, animals were fed a diet containing 40% of forages and 60% of concentrates, mainly composed of rice straw and ground corn, respectively, to meet the maintenance requirements, and the diets were formulated to supply equal amounts of energy and nitrogen among treatments. In order to investigate the effect of CMLP on ruminal fermentation (Experiment 1), three Korean native goats weighing $26.1{\pm}1.4kg$ were allotted into individual cages with a $3{\times}3$ Latin square design. Each animal was fed one of three protein sources (CMLP, soybean meal (SBM), and urea). Rumen pH, bacterial and fungal counts, volatile fatty acid concentrations and acetate to propionate ratio were not significantly different among treatments. Concentration of propionate, however, was higher in SBM treatment (14.1 mM) than in CMLP (8.7 mM) or urea (9.3 mM) treatments. There was significantly more branch-chain volatile fatty acid production in CMLP (1.9 mM) and SBM (1.8 mM) treatments than in urea (1.3 mM) treatment. The number of protozoa was the highest in urea treatment, followed by CMLP and SBM treatment with significant differences. A metabolic trial (Experiment 2) was conducted to measure in vivo nutrient digestibility and nitrogen retention in Korean native goats fed CMLP and SBM. Two heavy ($35.0{\pm}1.2kg$) and two light ($25.0{\pm}0.9kg$) Korean native goats, caged individually, were used in this experiment. A heavy and a light animal were paired and supplemented with either CMLP or SBM. The animals fed CMLP showed a trend of lower total tract digestibility in all the nutrients measured; however, there was no statistical significance except for digestibility of ether extract. Nitrogen digestibility of CMLP was estimated to be about 7% units lower than that of SBM. There was a tendency for lower nitrogen retention in CMLP treatment (35.9%) compared to SBM treatment (42.3%). In summary, CMLP can be a good protein source for ruminant animals from nutritional and economic perspectives and may replace some, if not all, of SBM in a diet without losing nitrogen utilization efficiency. Further research is warranted for investigating the effect of CMLP fed with easily fermentable forage and the effective level of CMLP for replacing SBM.

본 연구는 여재가 모래와 무연탄인 복층 중력식 급속여과법으로 BNR(biological nutrient removal) 공정 유출수를 처리할 때 여과율의 변화에 따른 오염물질 제거효율 및 여층 깊이별 처리수질을 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. Pilot scale의 4-stage BNR 공정 유출수를 200, 300 및 400 m/day의 여과율로 급속여과시킨 결과, 처리수는 2.6 NTU 이하의 탁도를 나타내어 우리나라의 중수도 제한수질인 5.0 NTU를 만족하였다. 여과율이 200, 300 및 400 m/day로 증가함에 따라 SS 제거효율은 각각 80.6, 75.4 및 68.9%로 감소하는 경향을 보였지만, 여과수는 모든 여과율에서 유입수의 수질변화에 큰 영향을 받지 않고 평균 1.3 mg/L의 SS 농도를 보였다. 생물학적 작용에 의하여 영양염류도 제거되었는데, 200, 300 및 400 m/day의 여과율에서 질산화효율이 각각 17.4, 18.8 및 14.3%, 그리고 탈질효율이 각각 32.3, 27.7 및 21.4%로, 질산화와 탈질이 동시에 일어났다. 여과주기의 후반기에는 여층 내의 DO가 결핍됨에 따라 인의 재용출이 일어남으로써 유출수의 T-P 농도가 유입수에 비하여 6.1~21.4% 증가하였다.

우리나라의 생활하수는 C/N 비가 낮아서 생물학적인 방법으로 영양염류를 제거하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 외부탄소원의 주입 없이 C/N 비를 높일 수 있는 암모니아 스트리핑에 의해 질소를 제거할 때 공기 공급량, 수리학적 체류시간, pH 등의 운전인자가 질소 제거에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 실험에 이용된 소규모 암모니아 스트리핑 시스템의 규격은 직경이 15 cm, 높이가 150 cm이며 담체의 사용 유무에 따라 AS I 및 AS II의 2개 형태로 구분하였다. 연구 결과 플라스틱 담체를 사용한 AS I의 T-N 제거율이 담체 없이 실험한 AS II에 비해 다소 높았다. 공기량 30 L/min 및 pH 12.5의 동일 실험 조건에서 HRT가 길어질수록 T-N 제거율은 높아졌으며, 36 hr의 같은 HRT 조건에서는 공기공급량이 증가할수록 T-N 제거율이 개선되는 경향을 보였다. 한편 C/N 비가 암모니아 스트리핑에 의해 평균 3.9에서 5.4로 향상되었다.

조피볼락 배합 사료로써 dry pellet (DP)의 사용 가능성을 조사하기 위하여, 2회에 걸쳐 사육 실험을 실시하였다. 두 실험에 사용된 사료 조성은 단백질원으로 북양어분이 $56\%$ 첨가된 사료(실험1)와 경제적인 측면을 고려하여 북양어분을 $38\%$로 줄이는 대신, 대두박과 콘글루텐 밀을 $25\%$ 첨가한 사료(실험 2)를 설계하여 각각 DP 및 moist pellet (MP) 형태로 제조하였고, 양어가들이 주로 사용하고 있는 생사료(법동 메가리)와 시판 분말 사료를 1 : 1로 혼합한 생사료 MP(raw h-based MP : RMP)를 제조하였다. 4.7 g 전후의 치어를 11주간 3반복으로 사육한 실험 1의 결과, 최종적으로 평균체중 및 일일 증체율이 DP, MP 및 RMP 사료간에서 서로 유의차가 없었으며, 전어체의 단백질, 지질 및 수분 함량도 사료간에 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 사료효율은 세 실험구 중에서 RMP구가 가장 높았고(P<0.05), 사료 조성비가 같은 DP와 MP사이에서는 유의차가 없었다. 11 g 전후의 조피볼락을 8주간 사육한 실험 2에서는 성장 및 일일증체율이 RMP 실험구가 DP 실험구보다 좋았지만, MP와 RMP 실험구간에서는 유의한 성장차이가 없었다(P>0.05), 사료효율은 DP구가 가장 낮고 RMP구가 가장 높은 결과를 보였다(P<0.05). 이러한 차이는 사료 단백원 중 식물성 대체 단백원(대두박, 콘글루텐 밀)이 차지하는 비율과 RMP구의 단백질 함량이 $57\%$로 타 실험구보다 높았기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 실험 1과 2의 결과들로부터 실험 배합 사료의 물성은 조피볼락의 성장이나 사료효율에 큰 영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 보여, 보다 적합한 실용배합 사료가 개발되면, DP도 조피볼락의 배합사료로써 손색이 없을 것으로 전망된다.

NRC (2001)의 권장량만큼 건물섭취 및 영양소 공급량을 제한하였을 경우의 착유우의 영양소 섭취균형 및 생산성을 제한하지 않았을 경우와 비교 조사하였다. Basal TMR을 무제한 급여한 대조구와 제한 급여한 시험구의 유생산량은 각각 27.5 kg/일/두, 28.1 kg/일/두로 시험구가 높은 경향을 나타내었고, 4% FCM과 FPCM 생산량은 각각 28.0 kg/일/두, 27.8kg/일/두로 대조구의 26.1 kg/일/두, 26.4 kg/일/두 보다 높은 경향을 나타내었으나 통계적 유의차는 나타나지 않았다. 대조구의 실제 건물섭취량은 23.8 kg/일/두로 시험구의 22.7 kg/일/두 보다 많이 섭취하였고, 대조구의 실제 건물섭취량은 NRC (2001)의 건물섭취 권장량보다 많이 섭취하는 것으로 나타났다(P<0.01). NRC (2001)로 추정한 대조구의 $NE_L$ 실제섭취량은 36.2 Mcal/일/두로 시험구의 34.9 Mcal/일/두 보다 높은 경향을 나타내었으며, NRC (2001)로 추정한 대조구와 시험구의 $NE_L$ 실제섭취량은 NRC (2001)의 $NE_L$ 섭취권장량 보다 모두 높게 나타났다(P<0.001). NRC (2001)로 추정한 대조구의 MP 실제섭취량은 2308 g/일/두로 시험구의 2224 g/일/두 보다 높은 경향을 나타내었으며, NRC (2001)로 추정한 대조구와 시험구의 MP 실제섭취량은 NRC(2001)의 MP 섭취권장량 보다 모두 높게 나타났으나 통계적 유의차는 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 본 실험의 결과에서 판단해 볼 때 농후사료 급여 비율이 높은 착유우에 있어서 건물섭취 및 영양소 섭취량을 무제한으로 허용하는 것은 오히려 사료의 이용효율을 감소시키는 것으로 예측되며, 따라서 유생산을 위한 영양소 이용 효율 역시 감소시키는 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Transfer of pesticides from environment to animal products is inevitable, so the purpose of the present work was to evaluate phosalone consumption via feeding with or without sodium bentonite (SB) on performance, blood metabolites and its transition to milk of Iranian Baluchi sheep. Methods: Twenty Baluchi ewes were divided into four treatments (P1 as control, P2, P3, and P4) of five animals in which phosalone, an organophosphate pesticide, was given via diet (only for P2 and P3) at a dose of 280 mg/sheep/day for 63 consecutive days. The SB (32 g/sheep/day; for P3 and P4) was also evaluated for its ability to reduce deleterious effects of phosalone in the sheep diets. The control group (P1) did not receive any phosalone and SB during the experiment. Sampling was conducted in two periods of time including weeks 5 and 9. Results: Phosalone residues were observed in the milk samples of P2 and P3 groups during two sampling periods. During period 1, the transfer rate of phosalone from feed to milk was 0.23 and 0.02%, respectively for the contaminated diets (P2 and P3), which is relatively similar to period 2 (0.22 and 0.02%). Only 0.34 (period 1) and 0. 36% (period 2) of phosalone residue are excreted in the feces of P2 group following its daily consumption. Transfer of phosalone from feed to milk was affected (P < 0.05) by the dietary inclusion of a commercial SB, as it (SB) decreased excretion of phosalone via milk (P3). The phosalone and SB alone or together had no significant effect (P > 0.05) on the dry matter intake (DMI) and body weight (BW) gain, but feed efficiency, milk production, milk fat, dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) digestibility, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity, hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), albumin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) affected by the treatments in period 1 or 2 (P < 0.05). The Hb, RBC, and MCHC were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) by about 9.72, 20.77, and 9.71%, respectively in the group P2 as compared to those of the control group during period 1. The AChE inhibitory activity (period 1 and 2) significantly increased when phosalone administered via the diet (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Although there were no adverse effects on the performance of sheep following the intake of phosalone alone (P2 vs. P1), but other research on the long and short times to the phosalone in high and low doses with more animals is suggested. Overall, compared to the control group, addition of SB in the diet of sheep improved nutrient digestibility, animal performance, and milk health.
