Nine Holstein cows in mid lactation period were utilized to examine the effect of recombinant bovine somatotropin (BST) of tow companies (Company A, Company B) on milk production and milk composition under the feeding conditions of Korea. Treatments were 0 (Control), 25 mg BST/day from company A (BST A) and 25 mg BST/day from company B (BST B) injected subcutaneously, once daily beginning at $200{\pm}20$ days postpartum and continuing for 28 days. Cows were fed ad libitum a total mixed diet throughout the experimental period. BST treatments increased average 4% fat corrected milk yields and milk energy output over the 28-day treatment period. However, no differences were observed in dry matter intake, gross efficiency, energy intake and percent milk energy. Although there was a tendency for increased milk fat percent, there were no differences in milk composition and yields of major milk components except for milk fat yield with BST injection. Somatic cells of all groups were also characteristic of a well managed herd. Neither mean body condition score nor body weight was significantly (p <0.05) changed before and during BST treatment. BST concentration in milk remained in the range of control animals throughout the experimental period of BST treatment. Results indicate that short-term injection of recombinant bovine somatotropin from two companies to lactating dairy cow resulted in similar increased in milk yield without alteration of major milk components or feed intake.

Injection of bovine growth hormone (bGH) to lactating dairy cows increases milk yield and yields of milk components including fat. It is generally believed that most of the anabolic effects derived from bGH in animal tissues are primarily mediated by IGF-1. IGF-1 is a strong anabolic peptide in the plasma of animals and exerts mitogenic and metabolic effects on target cells. Contrary to most protein hormones, the majority of IGF-1 in circulation is bound to the binding proteins (IGFBPs) which are known to be responsible for modifying the biological actions of IGF-1, thus making determinations of IGF-1 actions more difficult. On the other hand, fat is a major milk component and the greatest energy source in milk. Currently, the fat content of milk is one of the major criteria used in determining milk prices. It has been known that flavor and texture of dairy products are mainly affected by milk fat and its composition. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is the rate limiting enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA for fatty acid synthesis in 1ipogenic tissues of animals including bovine lactating mammary glands. In addition to the short-tenn hormonal regulation of ACC by changes in the catalytic efficiency per enzyme molecule brought about by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of the enzyme, the long-term hormonal regulation of ACC by changes in the number of enzyme molecules plays an essential role in control of ACC and lipogenesis. Insulin, at supraphysiological concentrations, binds to IGF-1 receptors, thereby mimicking the biological effects of IGF-1. The receptors for insulin and IGF-1 share structural and functional homology. Furthermore, epidermal growth factor increased ACC activity in rat hepatocytes and adipocytes. Therefore, it can be assumed that IGF-1 mediating bGH action may increase milk fat production by stimulation ACC with phosphorylation (short term) and/or increasing amounts of the enzyme proteins (long term). Consequently, the main purpose of this paper is to give the readers not only the galactopoietic effects of bGH, but also the insight of bGH action with regard to stimulating milk fat synthesis from the whole body to the molecular levels.

목적: 미숙아에게 필요한 영양성분을 알기 위해서는 그들의 모유 성분을 분석하는 것이 도움이 된다. 저자들은 미숙아 모유의 장기적인 철분함량의 변화를 관찰하고 만삭아 모유와 비교하였으며, 이를 토대로 모유수유만 하는 미숙아에서 철분 보충의 필요성과 지침에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 재태연령 34주 미만이거나 출생체중 1,800 g 미만의 미숙아를 출산한 산모 103명으로부터 생후 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12주의 모유를 수집하였고, 만삭아의 모유는 24명의 산모로부터 생후 1주째에 수집하여 철분함량을 분석하였다. 결과: 생후 2주에서 8주 사이의 미숙아 모유내의 철분함량은 유의한 차이가 없었으며(36.3${\pm}$23.1~45.8${\pm}$26.0 $\mu$g/dL), 이는 생후 1주째의 미숙아모유 (23.1${\pm}$14.6 $\mu$g/dL)나 만삭아 모유(25.2${\pm}$7.55 $\mu$g/dL)의 철분함량보다는 유의하게 높았다. 교정나이로 만삭이 된 미숙아의 모유(42.2${\pm}$19.4 $\mu$g/dL)는 만삭아의 모유보다 유의하게 높은 철분함량을 나타내었다. 결론: 미숙아 모유의 철분함량은 생후 3개월까지 큰 차이가 없었으며, 이는 필요량보다 적어 모유수유만 할 경우 AAPCON(2004)에서 권유하는 대로 2 mg/kg/day의 철분을 보충하는 것이 좋겠다.

This study was designed to test the effects of changes in energy and protein intake levels on the maternal milk amino acid concentrations over the short-term in lactating mares. Three lactating mares were enrolled for the study 7 weeks after parturition. A low-energy and low-protein diet (LEP) was administered during the first week of the study, followed by administration of a high-energy and high-protein diet (HEP), again for a week (day 1 to day 7), and milk was sampled thrice daily at intervals of 8 h during the study period. The mean amino acid concentrations in the maternal milk, except for those of proline, serine and valine, were significantly higher in the HEP feeding period than during the LEP feeding period (p<0.05). The sum of the concentrations of all the amino acids (TAA) in the maternal milk samples during the HEP and LEP feeding periods was 1,644.9${\pm}$26.9 and 1,542.3${\pm}$36.0 mg/100 g, respectively, the difference between the two was not significant. When the ratio of each amino acid concentration to the TAA in the maternal milk was analyzed, there were significant differences between the HEP and LEP feeding periods for all amino acids, except glycine, serine, alanine and histidine. It was found that the concentrations of glutamic acid+glutamine, serine, threonine, arginine and valine were significantly higher (p<0.05) on day 1 than on day 7 during the LEP feeding period, and there were no such differences during the HEP feeding period. In regard to the effects of changes in the energy and protein intake levels in lactating mares, no changes in milk amino acid concentrations were found following administration of HEP for a week, whereas 7 days of administration of LEP was associated with a decrease in the amino acid concentrations.

In 2009, the world dairy industry had the most impressive experience throughout all the experiences it had. The milk price in major regions fell to their lowest level for decades. Including Korea, the world economy is obviously slowing. The nations' export plunged due to the global economic recession, in result reduced industrial output and domestic demand. In Korea, the intake of liquid milk slightly decreased from 45 kg per capita in 2005 to 44.3 kg per capita in 2008. However, production and consumption of milk increased fast in China and India. According to 2008 statistics, total milk volume of the world trade reached 42 million tonnes and the major exporters of dairy products were EU, New Zealand, USA and Autralia. The tropical countries has traditionally consumed buffalo milk. The production of buffalo milk is increasing faster than cow milk. IDF expected that EU milk production would recover the medium term displaying a gradual growth over the milk quotas phasing-out period, while constantly remaining below the quota level.

The advent of the Internet and social media has given rise to a number of anti-milk articles that contain a lot of misinformation. Should milk and dairy products really not be consumed past a certain age? To answer this question, the history of milk consumption must be examined to understand the long-term benefits of milk. Historically, dairy products were among the foods served to the angels in the Old Testament of the Bible. Furthermore, dairy products were consumed even before the Bronze Age, and are defined by many food and animal scientists, and nutritionists as a complete food containing a lot of nutrients. Milk and dairy products have significantly contributed to the Korean and Japanese people's current body structures; this is evident in the fact that they are taller than their ancestors, primarily due to the increased consumption of milk and dairy products following industrialization. The average height of Koreans rose drastically in the 1960s, after milk consumption increased as a result of the dairy promotion policy. This article seeks to help understand milk by looking into the content published by a life insurance company in 1927.

Recently, underdeveloped countries have exhibited slight increases in their share of global dairy production. However, this growth is mostly the result of an increase in the number of producing animals, rather than a rise in productivity per milking cow. Fortunately, with the increase in milk production, the world dairy trade reported that the abundance of milk has resulted in increased production of other dairy products, such as dairy powder and butter. In general, there has been an increasing trend in the demand and supply of milk and all dairy products in the international dairy market since 2005. As the economy recovers, both the demand and consumption of milk will increase. However, no change is expected in the long-term prospects for the dairy market, particularly for 2016.

본 연구는 밀리타리스 동충하초(Cordyceps militaris) 균사체를 6%수준으로 비유초기 젖소에게 (대조구 5두, 처리구 5두) 6개월간 급여하였을 때, 혈액 및 우유내 cordycepin 함량을 조사하여 비유시기별 변화양상을 조사하고자 실시하였다. 건물 섭취량, 우유중 체세포수 및 우유중 요소태질소농도는 비유 전 기간동안 밀리타리스 동충하초 균사체 급여군과 대조구 간에 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 유단백질비율 및 생산량을 제외한 산유량, 유지방 및 유당에는 비유기간이 지속됨에 따라 밀리타리스 동충하초 균사체 급여 군과 대조군 간에 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 하지만, 유단백질 함량 및 생산량은 전체기간 평균이 대조군보다 급여군에서 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). 혈액 및 우유중 cordycepin농도는 기대했던 대로 대조군에서는 전혀 검출되지 않았으나, 밀리타리스 동충하초 균사체를 급여한 처리구에서는 혈액 중 0.31~0.38㎍/mL, 우유 중 0.18~0.26㎍/mL범위의 cordycepin이 검출되었다. 또한 표준오차의 값이 높아, 개체별 차이가 큰 것으로 조사되었으며 또한 개체별 자료에서도 비유시기에 따라 우유내 cordycepin 함량의 변화가 높아 일정한 패턴을 도출할 수가 없었고, 검출되지 않는 경우도 일정수준 나타났다. 혈액과 우유내 cordycepin 함량은 유의적인 상관관계(P=0.006)가 있는 것으로 조사되었지만 r²=0.24로 매우 낮았다. 비유시기에 따른 동충하초의 cordycepin이 우유로 이행되는 패턴은 일정치 않은 것으로 조사되어, 비유시기는 cordycepin의 우유이행에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 사료된다. Cordycepin의 우유내 전이율 범위도 개체별로는 0.00~0.95%로 변이가 높았고 매우 낮게 조사되었다. 결론적으로 젖소에게 동충하초의 급여를 통한 cordycepin의 우유내 전이는 젖소 개체별 변이가 매우 크며 또한 전이효율이 낮아 농가 산업화에는 많은 어려움이 따를 것으로 자체 평가된다.
