Abstract

The researchers have tried to reduce ruminal methane gas ($CH_4$) and to convert it into beneficial nutrient for several decades. This study was conducted to screen the methane-reducing vegetables among lettuce, hot pepper, spring onion, onion, turmeric, sesame leaf, garlic, radish sprout, leek and ginger nutritiously on the in vitro ruminal fermentation. The heat-treated vegetables at the 10% of substrate (timothy) were used to reduce methane production on the in vitro anaerobic experiment of 0, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h incubation time. Total gas production, pH, ammonia, $H_2$, $CO_2$, $CH_4$, and volatile fatty acid (VFA) were measured as indicators of in vitro fermentation product containing methane gas. All treatments except garlic showed a tendency to increase in total gas production. The result of ammonia showed that garlic and hot pepper affected rumen bacteria concerned protein metabolism and that lettuce and spring onion increased ammonia production. Garlic decreased $CH_4$ production in inverse proportion to $H_2$. Lettuce, spring onion, onion, garlic, radish sprout, leek and ginger increased propionate of VFA. Garlic balanced the ruminal fermentation in the pH, $H_2$, $CH_4$, acetate and propionate. This results showed that methane production at in vitro study was inhibited by heat-treated garlic supplementation. In conclusion, this study suggests that ruminal fermentation covering methane production might be controled by proper vegetables.

각 시판되고 있는 식물을 2개의 그룹으로 나눠 첨가 후 각 시간별 배양을 실시한 후 pH, $NH_3$, VFA 발생량, 총 가스발생량, $H_2$, $CO_2$, $CH_4$ 발생량을 조사하였다. 그룹 1은 상추와 대파첨가구에서 암모니아 농도가 높았고 고추첨가구에서 낮았다 (P<0.05), 그룹 2는 마늘첨가구에서 암모니아 농도가 낮았고 (P<0.05) 깻잎, 무순과 부추첨가 구에서 높았다 (P<0.05). 마늘과 고추첨가구에서 단백질분해과정 중 아미노산에서 암모니아로 분해되는 과정에 영향을 미쳤을 것으로 사료된다. 총 VFA 농도는 대파첨가구에서 유의적으로 높았으나 (P<0.05) 그 외 시험구에서는 대조구와 차이가 없었다. Acetate와 propionate의 비율에서 볼 때 마늘첨가구가 propionate의 량이 상대적으로 증가한 것을 알 수 있었다. 모든 처리구가 대조구에 비해 가스발생량이 대체로 높았으며, 대파와 양파 첨가구가 유의적으로 높았다 (P<0.05). 마늘과 깻잎 첨가구를 제외한 모든 처리구에서 가스 발생량이 유의적으로 높았다 (P<0.05). 생강목에 속하는 강황과 생강첨가구는 pH와 총 가스발생량에서 비슷한 결과를 나타냈으며 in vitro 발효를 높였다. 마늘첨가구는 반추위내 총 가스발생량이 대조구와 유의적인 차이가 없었다 (P<0.05). 모든 시험구에서 총 가스발생량과 $CO_2$ 발생량은 대체로 유사한 경향을 보였다. 마늘첨가구는 총 가스발생량은 대조구와 차이가 없었으나 $CO_2$ 발생량은 대조구보다 유의적으로 높았다 (P<0.05). 마늘첨가구의 $CH_4$ 발생량은 배양시간과 관계없이 매우 낮은 수준을 유지했으며 48시간 배양 후 대조구의 약 1/3 수준으로 낮았다 (P<0.05). $H_2$는 거의 모든 시험구에서 미량 발생되었는데, 대조적으로 마늘첨가구에서만 매우 높은 수준으로 검출되었다. 마늘첨가구에서 g단위 DM 당 $CH_4$ 발생량이 현저히 낮았으며 다른 처리구는 대체로 대조구에 비해 높았다. 본 시험에서는 allium속의 마늘, 부추, 양파, 파를 포함한 시판 중인 채소를 이용하여 in vitro 발효조절시험을 실시하였는데 특정 식물들은 in vitro 발효 대사에 영향을 주었으며 특히 마늘 첨가는 $CH_4$ 생성에 직접적으로 영향을 준 것으로 사료된다.
