Objective: This study was realized to evaluate the nutritional value of rice grains as a replacement for corn grains in the diet of growing Hanwoo steers. Methods: Two experimental diets were prepared: i) Corn total mixed ration (TMR) consisting of 20% corn grains and ii) Rice TMR consisting of 20% rice grains, in a dry matter (DM) basis. These treatments were used for in vitro rumen fermentation and in vivo growth trials. In the rumen fermentation experiment, the in vitro DM digestibility (IVDMD), in vitro crude protein digestibility (IVCPD), in vitro neutral detergent fiber digestibility, pH, ammonia nitrogen, and volatile fatty acids (VFA) were estimated at 48 h, and the gas production was measured at 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h. Twenty four growing Hanwoo steers (9 months old; body weight [BW]: 259±13 kg) were randomly divided into two treatment groups and the BW, dry matter intake (DMI), average daily gain (ADG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were measured. Results: The in vitro experiment showed that the IVDMD, IVCPD, and VFA production of the Rice TMR were higher than those of the Corn TMR (p<0.05). The growth trial showed no differences (p>0.05) in the final BW, ADG, DMI, and FCR between the two TMRs. Conclusion: The use of rice grains instead of corn grains did not exhibit any negative effects on the rumen fermentation or growth performance, thereby rice grains with a DM of less than 20% could be used as a starch source in the diet of growing steers.

Objective: To improve the feeding value of rice straw (RS), this study evaluated the potential of rice straw fermented with Pleurotus sajor-caju (FRS) as dairy goat feed. Methods: Spent Pleurotus sajor-caju mushroom substrate was used as fungi inoculum to break the lignocellulose linkage of rice straw, which was solid-fermented at 25℃ to 30℃ for 8 weeks. The ruminal degradation of pangolagrass hay (PG), FRS, and RS were measured in situ for 96 hours in three dry Holstein cows, respectively. Effect of fungi fermented RS on milking performance was studied in feeding trials. A total of 21 Alpine goats a trial were divided into 3 groups: a control group in which PG accounted for 15% of the diet dry matter, and FRS or RS was used to replace the PG in the control group. Goats were fed twice a day under two 28-day trial in individual pens. Meanwhile, a 3×3 Latin square trial (14 days/period) was conducted to study the rumen digestion of three diets by using three fistulated dry goats. Rumen contents were collected for metabolite analyses every one to three hours on the last two days. Results: In situ study showed that fermentation could elevate the rumen degradable fraction and effective degradability of RS (p<0.05). Effective degradability of FRS dry matter was significantly increased from 29.5% of RS to 41.7%. Lactating trial results showed that dry matter intake and milk yield in the PG group and FRS group were similar and higher than those in RS group (p<0.05). The concentration of propionic acid and total volatile fatty acid in the RS group tended to be lower than those in PG group (p<0.10). There were no differences in rumen pH value and ammonia nitrogen level among the groups tested. Conclusion: Fermentation of rice straw by spent Pleurotus sajor-caju mushroom substrate could substantially enhance its feeding value to be equivalent to PG as an effective fiber source for dairy goat. The fermented rice straw is recommended to account for 15% in diet dry matter.

The effect of different commercially available bedding materials on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of ducks for 42 days was investigated. 336 one-day-old White-Pekin ducklings (60.48 ± 0.16 g) were randomly allocated into 24-floor pens with one of the three beddings namely i) coco peat, ii) rice husks, or iii) sawdust. 14 ducklings per pen and 8 replicate pens per bedding material were used. Birds were fed a starter diet from days 1-21 and a grower diet from days 22-42. Weekly growth performance evaluation was conducted for the average body weight, weight gains, daily feed intake, and feed conversion efficiency. One bird per pen was sacrificed on day 42 for the evaluation of carcass characteristics including the carcass, breast, and leg muscle percentages. Breast and leg muscle samples were then collected and analyzed for their proximate and pH values. Higher body weights (p < 0.05) were noticed with rice husks on day 42 only. Improved daily gains (p < 0.05) were also noticed for birds raised with rice husks over the entire period (days 1-42). Concerning feed intake, higher values (p < 0.05) were similarly noted with rice husks for the grower phase (days 22-42), and the entire experimental period (days 1-42). Marginally improved feed intake values were also noted with the use of rice husks as the bedding materials on day 42 (p = 0.092). Improved feed efficiency (p < 0.05) was noticed with rice husks on day 35, the grower period, and the entire 42-day period. However, no significant differences were noticed for most of the carcass characteristics that were evaluated. Nevertheless, higher (p < 0.05) pH values for the breast muscle were noticed with the use of coco peat and sawdust as the bedding. Conclusively, the bedding type could have a significant impact on the growth performance of ducks without adverse effects on carcass characteristics. The use of rice husks as bedding might be advantageous and is therefore recommended.

본 시험은 쌀 가공품의 수준별 급여 시 유당 대체제로서의 가능성 여부를 자돈의 성장 능력과 설사빈도, 분내 대장균과 휘발성 지방산 조성 등을 통해 검증하였다. 5주간의 사양시험에서는 처리구간 체중, 일당증체량, 사료섭취량에서는 유의적인 차가 나타나지 않았지만 쌀 가공품을 유당을 대체하여 6%까지 첨가하였을 때 일당증체량과 일당사료 섭취량이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 쌀 가공품의 첨가에 의한 설사빈도에 있어서는 L6 처리구의 설사 빈도가 낮게 나타났으나 처리구간 수치상 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않았다. 분 내 대장균 수 비교에서는 대조구에 비해 쌀 가공품의 첨가수준이 증가할수록 분 내 대장균의 수가 유의적으로 감소하는 것을 볼 수가 있었다(P<0.05). 분 내 미생물 대사산물인 휘발성 지방산 농도 비교에서는 L6 처리구가 대조구에 비해 acetate와 propionate, butyrate가 높은 수치를 보였으나 각 처리구간 유의차는 나타나지 않았다. 본 시험을 통해 이유자돈 사료 내 유당 대체제로서 쌀 가공품의 첨가는 이유자돈의 성장능력을 향상시키는 경향을 나타났으며, 설사빈도 및 분변 내 대장균 수에 대해서도 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 경제성 분석을 통해 급등하는 유제품의 가격과 품질을 고려할 때 쌀 가공품의 6% 대체는 자돈사료비 절감을 통한 생산비 절감효과를 나타내고 있으므로 원료사료 수입에 따른 외화절약 및 양돈 농가의 경제적 이득을 증대시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 다만 유당을 쌀 가공품으로 대체 가능한 최대 적정 비율에 대한 추가적인 보완실험은 유익한 일이 될 것이라 생각된다.

최근 멧돼지의 개체수 및 농작물 피해 증가로 인하여 사회적 문제를 야기 시키고 있다. 국내 멧돼지에 대한 연구는 미미하여 향후 효과적인 멧돼지 관리를 위해서는 종에 대한 생태적 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 2012년 5월부터 12월까지 경남 거창군 일대에서 유해야생동물 포획을 통해 수집된 멧돼지 위 내용물(n=79) 분석을 통하여 식이습성 구명 및 선호 농작물을 파학하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구 결과 멧돼지는 주로 식물성 먹이를 섭식하며, 계절별로 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 식물성 먹이는 잎-줄기가 83.5%로 가장 높은 출현율 보였으며, 농작물을 포함한 식물성 먹이는 건중량의 93.5%을 차지하였다. 무척추동물의 발견 빈도는 높았으나 빠르게 소화되는 특성으로 인하여 건중량은 낮게 나타났다. 식이농작물로는 밤, 벼, 사과 등이 선호하는 농작물로 나타났다. 수확기 농작물은 멧돼지가 야생 먹이보다 선호하여 의도적으로 섭식하는 것으로 판단된다. 지렁이는 총 수집된 위에서 50%의 출현율을 보였으며, 섭식 마릿수는 여름에 가장 높고, 겨울에 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 멧돼지는 전형적인 잡식성의 성향을 보이며, 시기에 따라 섭식하는 식이물이 다른 것으로 나타났다. 향후 멧돼지에 의한 농작물 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 밤나무림에 인접한 논과 사과 과수원의 우선적인 피해방지가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Fifteen varieties of Oryza sativa mainly including those of Korean native rice were exactly cutted into three layers such as L1 layer(the outer part of 92% from rice center), L2 layer(the part of 81∼91% from the rice center) and L3 layer(the inner part of 80% from the rice center) We biologically evaluated the antioxidative effect on the every layer(L1, L2 and L3) of all the varieties, by observing malondialdehyde (MDA) produced by galactosamine in the mouse. L1 layer of some varieties showed significant antiox idative effect, while L2 and L3 layer didn't show the activity. It was also suggested that coloured rice(Suwon 425 and Sanggaehangbyeolna) showed stronger activity than other general rices, probably due to high contents of anthocyanins. Successively, we evaluated antihepatotoxic effect, based on the determination of serum ALT and AST activity. Some varieties of only L1 layer, except for L2 and L3 layer, significantly decreased the serum ALT and AST activity. This finding indicate that oral diet of some raw rice are able to protect hepatotoxicities. Among all the samples tested, L1 layer of Suwon 425 showed the strongest antihepatotoxic effect. From quantitative analysis on ferulic acid derivatives, it was found that the more it enters from the surface into the rice center, the more those secondary metabolites contents were highly reduced. These findings above suggested that Suwon 425 could be a promising candidate for the development of health rice food.

This study was carried out to investigate the supplementary effects of the rice germ oil compared with soy bean oil on lipid metabolism of non-insulin dependent diabetic mice. Forty diabetic KK mice were fed two kinds of experimental diets with 20% lipid from soy bean oil as a control(CO) and rice germ oil(RG) for 8 weeks, respectively. Diet intake, body weight, organs weights and lipids levels of serum, liver and feces were measured. There was no significant difference in food and water intake, body weight gain and organs weights between experimental groups. But the concentrations of serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were lower in RG group than in CO group. The hepatic total lipid and total cholesterol levels of RG group were significantly lower than those of CO group. The contents of total lipid, triglyceride and total cholesterol excreted in feces of RG group were higher than those of CO group. These results suggested that rice germ oil can reduce serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol and hepatic total lipid concentration of non-insulin dependent diabetic mice compared with soybean oil due to increasing fecal lipid excretion. But we need to investigate the hypolipidemic effect of this oil by supplementary level and period.
