This study was conducted to examine the effects of defaunation (removal of live protozoa) on fermentation characteristics, degradation of ryegrass hay and $CH_4$ (methane) production by rumen microbes when incubated with plant oils (SO, sunflower oil and LO, linseed oil) in vitro. Sodium lauryl sulfate (0.000375 g/ml) as a defaunation reagent was added into the culture solution and incubated anaerobically up to 24 h at $39^{\circ}C$. pH from defaunation was increased for all treatments from 6 h incubation times (p<0.01-0.001) compared with those from fauantion. Concentration of ammonia-N from defaunation is higher than that from faunation at 3 h (p<0.001), 12 h (p<0.05) and 24 h (p<0.001) incubation times. Defaunation decreased (p<0.01-0.001) total volatile fatty acid concentration at all incubation times. Molar proportions of $C_2$ (acetate, p<0.05-0.001) and butyrate (p<0.01-0.001) were also decreased by defaunation at all incubation times. Molar proportion of $C_3$ (propionate), however, was increased by defaunation at all incubation times (p<0.001). Thus the rate of $C_2$ to $C_3$ was decreased by defaunation at all incubation times (p<0.001). Defaunation decreased ED (effective degradability) of dry matter (p<0.001) and ED of neutral detergent fiber (p<0.001) of ryegrass hay. Defaunation decreased total gas, $CH_4$ production, $CH_4$ % in total gas and $CH_4/CO_2$ at all incubation times (p<0.001). Oil supplementation decreased total gas (p<0.05-0.001), $CH_4$ production (p<0.001) and $CH_4$ % in total gas (p<0.001) compared with control at all incubation times. The result of this study showed that defaunation combined with oil supplementation may cause an alteration of microbial communities and further medicate the fermentation pattern, resulting in both reduction of degradation of ryegrass hay and $CH_4$ production. No difference, however, was observed in all the examinations between SO and LO.

본 시험은 여러 종류(호밀, RS; 볏짚, RSS; 소맥, WS; 트리티케일, TS; 귀리, OS; 청보리, BS)의 사일리지를 대상으로 단백질을 분획(fractionation)하고, in vitro 방법으로 buffer 추출 전과 추출 후의 사일리지를 배양하였을 때 반추위 미생물에 의한 발효성상, 가스발생량 및 분해율을 조사하고자 실시되었다. 사일리지의 가용성 물질은 boratephosphate 용액으로 추출하였으며, 반추위액과 인공 타액이 동일한 비율로 구성된 배양액을 혐기적인 조건에서 48시간동안 배양($39^{\circ}C$)하면서 발효 성상과 nylon bag을 이용한 사일리지의 in vitro 분해율을 조사하였다. 사일리지의 soluble protein (SP) 함량은 RSS에서 총 CP 함량 중 2.11%로 가장 낮았으며, RS와 BS 및 OS에서는 7% 이상의 높은 함량을 보였다. 또한 A fraction (NPN)은 RS에서 총 CP의 74.33%로 가장 높았으나 TS 및 RSS의 NPN 함량은 48% 정도로 비교적 낮았다. Buffer 불용성 단백질(IP) 중 B2 fraction은 RS, RSS 및 WS에서 총 CP의 7% 이상으로 비교적 높았던 반면 TS (1.45%)와 BS (2.13%)에서 매우 낮았다. 이와는 달리 $B_3$ fraction은 WS (4%)를 제외하고는 다른 사일리지에서 5.99~15.20%의 함량을 보였다. 체내 이용성이 매우 낮은 C fraction은 볏짚 사일리지(RSS)에서 27.07%로 다른 종류의 사일리지(1.40~9.93%)에 비하여 현저히 높은 수준이었다. 배양 12시간 까지는 추출 전에 비하여 추출 후의 사일리지 배양액에서 pH가 높았으나 (P<0.01~P<0.001) 48시간에는 오히려 추출 전의 사일리지 배양액의 pH가 낮았다(P<0.01). 배양액의 ammonia-N는 모든 사일리지에서 추출 전의 농도가 추출 후의 농도에 비하여 현저히(P<0.01~P<0.001) 높았으나 사일리지 종류에 의한 영향을 받지 않았다. 모든 사일리지에서 추출 후에 비하여 추출 전의 VFA 농도가 현저히 증가되었다(P<0.01~P<0.001). Acetate의 조성 비율은 buffer 추출 전에 비하여 배양 24시간까지 추출 후 모든 사일리지에서 높았던 (P<0.01~P<0.001) 반면 propionate와 butyrate 비율은 배양 24시간까지 추출 전에 더 높았다(P<0.001). 배양 12시간까지는 buffer 추출 전의 사일리지로부터 더 많은(P<0.01~P<0.001) 양의 gas가 발생되었지만 그 후로(24~48시간)는 오히려 buffer로 추출된 후의 사일리지에서 발생량이 더 많았다(P<0.01). 추출 후에 비하여 추출 전 사일리지의 DM과 CP 분해율이 현저히(P<0.001) 높았으나 NDF 분해율의 경우 오히려 추출 후의 사일리지에서 높았다(P<0.001). 그러나 각 사일리지에 대한 buffer 추출 전 후의 평균치에서는 사일리지 간에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 시험의 결과로 미루어 보아 사일리지로 인해 현저히 증가된 NPN 함량이 사일리지의 단백질 이용율을 크게 낮출 것으로 보이며, 단백질을 포함한 buffer 가용성 물질은 사일리지의 초기 발효를 크게 촉진할 수 있는 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구는 팽이버섯 재배 후 폐기물로 방치되어온 팽이 버섯 폐 배지를 거세한우 사육용 조사료로의 사료적 가치를 규명하기 위해 반추위 누관이 장착된 면양 3두를 이용한 대사시험과 12개월령의 거세한우 24두를 이용하여 20개월령까지 8개월간 사양 실험을 실시하였다. 대사시험의 경우 시판 한우 비육 전기용 배합사료(70%)와 볏짚(30%, 건물 기준)을 급여하였으며(대조구, CON) 시험구의 경우 발효 팽이버섯 폐 배지(fermented spent mushroom compost, FSMC)를 대조구 볏짚 급여량의 30% (FSMC-30) 또는 60% (FSMC-60, 건물 기준) 수준으로 대치하여 급여하였다. 거세한우를 대상으로 한 사양시험 사료 역시 대사시험과 동일한 방법으로 제조된 발효 팽이버섯 폐 배지를 동일한 비율로 볏짚을 대치하여 급여하였다. 면양 반추위액의 pH는 발효팽이버섯 폐 배지가 포함된 시험사료(FSMC-30 및 FSMC-60)에 의한 영향을 받지 않았다. 반추위액의 암모니아의 농도는 사료 급여 후 3시간에서 볏짚의 60%를 FSMC로 대치하여 급여한 처리구(FSMC-60)에서 암모니아 농도가 가장 높았다(P<0.045). Acetate 조성비율은 사료 급여 후 1시간 및 3시간에서 볏짚대신 발효팽이버섯 폐 배지를 60% 대치 급여한 처리구(FSMC-60)에 비하여 볏짚을 급여한 대조구에서 더 높았다(P<0.001). 이와는 반대로 propionate 조성 비율은 모든 반추위액 채취 시간에 걸쳐 FSMC-60 처리구에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다(P<0.027~P<0.002). Butyrate의 경우 타 처리구에 비하여 볏짚대신 발효팽이버섯 폐 배지를 30% 대치 급여한 처리구(FSMC-30)에서 사료 급여 30분 전(P<0.031)과 급여 후 1시간(P<0.011) 및 6시간(P<0.039)에 높은 조성 비율을 보였다. Propionate에 대한 acetate의 비율($C_2/C_3$)은 FSMC-60 처리구에서 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 시험사료의 건물(EDDM), 조단백질(EDCP), 조지방(EDEE) 및 NDF(EDNDF) 유효 분해율은 볏짚에 대한 발효팽이버섯 폐 배지 대치에 의한 영향을 받지 않은 것으로 조사되었다. 조단백질(P<0.031)과 NDF (P<0.006)의 전장 소화율은 조사료로서 볏짚만을 급여한 처리구에서 높았지만 발효팽이버섯 폐 배지를 볏짚의 60% 수준으로 대치 급여한 처리구(FSMC-60)에서 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 거세한우의 총 증체량 및 평균 일당증체량은 시험사료에 의한 영향을 받지 않았다.

An in vitro trial was conducted to examine the effects of total mixed rations (TMR) on fermentation characteristics and effective degradability (ED) by rumen microbes. Three TMR diets were growing period TMR (GR-TMR, 67% TDN), early fattening period TMR (EF-TMR, 75.4% TDN) and late fattening TMR (LF-TMR, 80% TDN). Three TMR diets (3 g of TMRs in each incubation bottles) was added to the mixed culture solution of stained rumen fluid with artificial saliva (1:1, v/v) and incubated anaerobically for 48 hours at $39^{\circ}C$. The pH in all incubation solutions tended to decrease up to 48h, but the opposite results were found in concentration of total gas production, ammonia-N and total VFA in all incubations.The total gas production (p<0.05) in LF-TMR was highest compared with those of other diets. Also, concentration of total VFA was tended to increase in LF-TMR compared with other TMR diets in all incubations. The EDDM in both EF-TMR and LF-TMR was tended to high compared with GR-TMR (p=0.100). In this in vitro trials, concentration of propionate in all incubation solution was not affected by increased concentration of TDN. The results of the present in vitro study indicate that TMR may provide more favorable condition for nutrient digestion both in the rumen.

The present study was conducted to determine plasma acetate, glucose and protein metabolism using dilution of isotopes [[1-$^{13}C$]Na acetate, [U-$^{13}C$]glucose and [1-$^{13}C$]leucine (Leu)] in sheep fed rice straw (Oriza japonica L.). Four sheep were assigned to either rice straw (RS-diet) or mixed hay (MH-diet) with a crossover design. Nitrogen (N) intake and N digestibility were lower (p = 0.002 and p = 0.02, respectively) for RS-diet than MH-diet, but N retention did not differ (p>0.10) between the diets. Concentrations of rumen acetate tended to be lower (p = 0.07), and propionate was higher (p = 0.02) for RS-diet than MH-diet. Concentrations of plasma lactate, non-esterified fatty acids, Leu and ${\alpha}$-ketoisocaproic acid did not differ (p>0.10) between the diets, but plasma glucose and urea concentrations were lower (p = 0.01 and p = 0.003, respectively) for RS-diet than MH-diet. Turnover rate of plasma acetate did not differ (p = 0.39) between the diets, and plasma glucose and Leu turnover rates were numerically lower (p = 0.15 and p = 0.14, respectively) for RS-diet than MH-diet. Whole body protein synthesis and degradation did not differ (p>0.10) between the diets. Thus it can be concluded that the intermediary metabolism of acetate, glucose and protein on rice straw is comparable to mixed hay in sheep.

An in vitro study was conducted to determine the effects of defaunation (removal of protozoa) and forage sources (rice straw, ryegrass and tall fescue) on ruminal fermentation characteristics, methane ($CH_4$) production and degradation by rumen microbes. Sodium lauryl sulfate, as a defaunation reagent, was added into the mixed culture solution to remove ruminal protozoa at a concentration of 0.375 mg/ml. Pure cellulose (0.64 g, Sigma, C8002) and three forage sources were incubated in the bottle of culture solution of mixed rumen microbes (faunation) or defaunation for up to 24 h. The concentration of ammonia-N was high under condition of defaunation compared to that from faunation in all incubations (p<0.001). Total VFA concentration was increased at 3, 6 and 12 h (p<0.05~p<0.01) but was decreased at 24 h incubation (p<0.001) under condition of defaunation. Defaunation decreased acetate (p<0.001) and butyrate (p<0.001) proportions at 6, 12 and 24 h incubation times, but increased propionate (p<0.001) proportion at all incubation times for forages. Effective degradability of dry matter was decreased by defaunation (p<0.001). Defaunation not only decreased total gas (p<0.001) and $CO_2$ (p<0.01~0.001) production at 12 and 24 h incubations, but reduced $CH_4$ production (p<0.001) at all incubation times for all forages. The $CH_4$ production, regardless of defaunation, in order of forage sources were rice straw > tall fescue > ryegrass > cellulose (p<0.001) up to 24 h incubation.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of the level of corn dry distillers grains with solubles (CDDGS) supplementation on growing performance, blood metabolites, digestion characteristics and ruminal fermentation patterns in steers grazing dormant forage. In Exp. 1, of growth performance, 120 steers ($204{\pm}5kg$ initial body weight [BW]) were distributed randomly into 3 groups (each of 40 steers), which were provided with the following levels of CDDGS supplement: 0%, 0.25%, or 0.50% BW. All groups of steers were grazed for 30 days in each of 3 grazing periods (March, April, and May). Approximately 1,000 ha of the land was divided with electric fencing into 3 equally sized pastures (333 ha in size). Blood samples were collected monthly from 20 steers in each grazing group for analysis of glucose (G), urea-nitrogen (UN) and non-esterified fatty acids. Final BW, average daily gain (ADG) and supplement conversion (CDDGS-C) increased with increasing levels of CDDGS supplementation (p<0.05).The CDDGS supplementation also increased the plasma G and UN concentrations (p<0.05). In Exp. 2, of digestive metabolism, 9 ruminally cannulated steers ($BW=350{\pm}3kg$) were distributed, following a completely randomized design, into groups of three in each pasture. The ruminally cannulated steers were provided the same levels of CDDGS supplementation as in the growing performance study (0%, 0.25%, and 0.50% BW), and they grazed along with the other 40 steers throughout the grazing periods. The dry matter intake, crude protein intake, neutral detergent fiber intake (NDFI), apparent digestibility of dry matter (ADDM), crude protein (ADCP) and neutral detergent fiber (ADNDF) increased with increasing levels of CDDGS supplementation (p<0.05). The ruminal degradation rates of CP (kdCP), NDF (kdNDF) and passage rate (kp) also increased with increasing levels of CDDGS supplementation (p<0.05). Ruminal ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3$-N) and propionate concentrations also increased with increasing levels of CDDGS supplementation (p<0.05). However, acetate concentrations decreased with increasing levels of CDDGS supplementation (p<0.05). Liquid dilution rate increased with increasing levels of CDDGS supplementation but ruminal liquid volume decreased (p<0.05). On the basis of these findings, we can conclude that CDDGS supplementation enhanced the productive performance of cattle grazing native rangeland without negatively affecting forage intake, glucose and urea-nitrogen blood concentrations, ruminal degradation and ruminal fermentation patterns.

Clostridium butyricum NCIB 9576 evolved hydrogen gas and produced various organic acids from glucose, lactose, starch, and glycerol. Total amount of hydrogen gas produced from 1 and 2% glucose were 630 and 950ml $H_2$/l-broth, respectively, for the first 24 hrs of incubation and the maximum hydrogen production rates were 42 and 94ml $H_2$/hr/1-broth, respectively. Teh initial pH 6.8 decreased to 4.2~4.5 during the first 12~16 hrs of fermentation when the pH was not controlled, resulting in ceasing the cell growth and hydrogen evolution and in degradation of 82 and 40% glucose after 24hrs of incubation from 1 and 2% glucose, respectively. When pH was controlled to 5.5, glucose was consumed completely and resulted in increasing hydrogen production approximately 38~50% compared to the experiments without the pH control. C. butyricum NCIB 9576 produced hydrogen gas approximately 644, 1,700 and 3,080 ml $H_2$/l-broth with 0.5, 1 and 2% lactose, respectively and the maximum hydrogen production rates were 41, 141 and 179ml $H_2$/hr/l-broth, respectively. All of the lactose added was degraded completely during fermentation even though pH was not controlled. C. butyricum NCIB 9576 produced 183 and 709ml $H_2$/l-broth with 0.1 and 0.5% starch for 48 hrs, respectively, when pH was not controlled. The maximum rates of hydrogen gas production were 43 and 186ml $H_2$/l-broth, respectively and 80~100% of starch added was fermented. Approximately 107ml $H_2$/l-broth was produced using 1% glycerol by C. butyricum NCIB 9576 and the pH was maintained higher than 6.1 during fermentation without pH control. The degradation of glucose, lactose, starch and glycerol by C. butyricum NCIB 9576 were affected by the pH of fermentation broth and the organic acids released during fermentation. The pH of feremtntation broth dropped to 4.2~4.6 after 12~14 hrs incubation when glucose was used as a substrate while pHs were maintained above pH 5 under the same experimental conditions when lactose, starch and glycerol were used. The organic solvents and acids produced during glucose fermentation were mainly ethanol, butyrate, acetate and a little of propionate, while butyrate was the main organic acids during the lactose, starch, and glycerol fermentation by C. butyricum NCIB 9576.

Information on the effects of different yeast species on ruminal fermentation is limited. This experiment was conducted in a $3{\times}4$ factorial arrangement to explore and compare the effects of addition of three different live yeast species (Candida utilis 1314, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1355, and Candida tropicalis 1254) at four doses (0, $0.25{\times}10^7$, $0.50{\times}10^7$, and $0.75{\times}10^7$ colony-forming unit [cfu]) on in vitro gas production kinetics, fiber degradation, methane production and ruminal fermentation characteristics of maize stover, and rice straw by mixed rumen microorganisms in dairy cows. The maximum gas production (Vf), dry matter disappearance (IVDMD), neutral detergent fiber disappearance (IVNDFD), and methane production in C. utilis group were less (p<0.01) than other two live yeast supplemented groups. The inclusion of S. cerevisiae reduced (p<0.01) the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3$-N), isobutyrate, and isovalerate compared to the other two yeast groups. C. tropicalis addition generally enhanced (p<0.05) IVDMD and IVNDFD. The $NH_3$-N concentration and $CH_4$ production were increased (p<0.05) by the addition of S. cerevisiae and C. tropicalis compared with the control. Supplementation of three yeast species decreased (p<0.05) or numerically decreased the ratio of acetate to propionate. The current results indicate that C. tropicalis is more preferred as yeast culture supplements, and its optimal dose should be $0.25{\times}10^7$ cfu/500 mg substrates in vitro.

Headspace의 이산화탄소 제거는 수소의 수율을 올릴 수 있는 효과적인 방법이지만, 증가된 수소의 분압(최대 91.2%)과 이산화탄소의 부재에 의해 글루코즈의 발효 경향에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이산화탄소의 제거는 homoacetogenesis에 의한 수소의 소모를 효과적으로 억제하였지만, 주요발효 부산물인 ethanol 및 기타 발효 부산물의 분해 또한 억제하는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 소량으로 발생한 부산물들의 분석결과에서 이산화탄소가 제거된 반응에서 반응 후반부에 butyrate의 증가하는 현상이 관찰되었다. 하지만, 기존의 연구결과들처럼 증가된 수소의 분압에 의한 과다한 solvent의 생성은 관찰되지 않았으며, acetate의 과도한 발생을 방지할 수 있어 acetate에 의한 저해현상을 다소 억제할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 이산화탄소가 제거될 경우 최종 산물이 수소와 ethanol이므로 목적 반응이 hydrogen-ethanol fermentation이라면 이상적인 방향을 제시할 수 있을 것이다.
