This study was conducted to obtain some genetic information for developing superior Korean native chickens. Heterosis and combining ability effects were estimated with 1,080 progenies of full diallel crosses of 3 strains in Korean Native Chicken. The traits of egg productivity were Investigated, and heterosis effect, general combining ability, specific combining ability and reciprocal effect were analyzed model I of the Griffing's method 1. The general performance were 147.0 days in age at first egg laying, 71.8 eggs in egg numbers to 270 days, 50.1g in egg weight at 270 days, 75.6 in egg shape index, 356$\mu\textrm{m}$ in egg shell thickness, and 4.27kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in egg shell strength, respectively. According to result, heterosis effect revealed comparatively high in age at first egg laying, egg numbers, egg weight, and egg shell strength. The effects estimated highly in general combining ability for age at first egg laying, egg numbers, egg weight, egg shape Index and egg shell thickness, and in specific combining ability were egg numbers, egg weight and egg shell thickness, and in reciprocal effects for egg numbers, egg shape index, and egg shell thickness. This result could be used for developing Korean native chicken.

IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard for LWPAN based on TDMA. IEEE 802.15.4 has not been used widely because of restrictions on the QoS, scalability, and reliability. IEEE 802.15.4 utilizes GTS for one-hop QoS transmission. However GTS is not an effective method to satisfy QoS in multi-hop environments. Currently IEEE 802.15.4e, an extended version of IEEE 802.15.4 MAC sub-layer, is being developed to satisfy more diverse performance requirements than IEEE 802.15.4. IEEE 802.15.4e provides muti-hop QoS transmission functionality and uses multiple frequency channels. In this paper, a multi-channel TDMA scheduling scheme is proposed to satisfy end-to-end transmission delay in IEEE 802.15.4e. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated using simulation.

The commercial Korean native chickens (WR_CC) was developed by crossing a few native chicken breeds in Korea. In order to investigate the breed identification markers, SNPs from TYR gene and MC1R gene, which are associated with skin and feather colors respectively, were initially identified. In case of 3 identified SNPs in the TYR gene, yellow shank color was identified in Loss, Harvard, AA, RIR and CC, which have the fixed SNPs in most of the animals. On the other hand, SNP variations were observed in KNC_RB, C_B, WR_CC and HH_CC, which have the black, yellow and mixed color with black and yellow shank colors. Also, the investigation of 3 SNPs in the MC1R gene indicated that there were associations between shank and feather colors in RIR, SF, KNC_B, C_B and RIR. However, these results are not consistent among breeds. These SNP type inconsistencies within breeds suggested that the selection was performed based on the phenotypes, which is not include the genotype information. Thus, selection based on genetic information is required in the future.

In this study, we analyzed the mitochondrial DNA D-loop region of Korean native chicken to clarify their phylogenetic relationships, possible maternal origin and routes of introduction into Korea. A 1231-1232 bp DNA fragment from the mtDNA D-loop region was sequenced in 315 chickens from 11 populations, Thirty-five variable sites that defined 21 haplotyes were observed. In Korean native chicken, diversity accounted for 90% of the variation, little differentiation among the strains. The 21 haplotypes clustered into 5 clades which were A, B, C, D and E. These results indicate that Korean chickens were derived from China with multiple origins.

In the Ti(CN)-Co/Ni cermet, WC is an effective additive for increasing sinterability and mechanical properties such as toughness and hardness. In this work, WC, (WTi)C and (WTi)(CN) were used as the source of WC and their effects were investigated in the respect of microstructural evolution and mechanical properties. Regardless of the kinds of WC sources, the hard phase with dark core and bright rim structure was observed in the Ti(CN)-Co/Ni cermet under the incorporation of relatively small amount of WC. However, hard phases with bright core began to appear and their frequency increased with the increase of all kinds of WC source addition. The ratio of bright core to dark one in the (TiW)(CN)-Co/Ni cermet was greatest under the incorporation of (WTi)C compared at the same equivalent amount of WC. The mechanical properties were improved with the addition of WC irrespective of the kinds of sources, but the addition of (WTi)(CN) was less effective for the increase of fracture toughness.

This work was conducted to evaluate the hatching and growing performance of Korean Native Ducks (KND) Pure Breeding Line (PL). A total of 400 male and female pullets were produced from PL to keep in National Institute of Animal Science, Korea. Pullets were divided into 4 treatments, 5 repetitions per treatment, and 20 heads per repetition. Four treatments were compared in a $2{\times}2$ factorial arrangement with 2 groups (White strains, WW; Jade Green strains, CC) for their parents and 2 groups (male and female). Livability was not significantly different at 20 weeks among male and female of 2 strains. There was no significant difference on body weight and feed intake between WW and CC strains (P>0.05), but there was significantly different on body weight and feed intake between male and female (P<0.05). The feed conversion ratio of female was higher compared to male (P<0.05), but there was no significantly different between CC and WW strains. These results provide the basic data to develope the new strains of Korean Native Ducks.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dilution rate and stored temperature of semen at 5, 25 and 35$^{\circ}C$ on fertility in liquid rooster semen. At 5$^{\circ}C$ cold temperature, no significant difference were found in sperm mobilities on dilution rate(1:1, 1:3, 1.6) among treatments. Sperm mobility for the conservation of 3 hours at 25∼35$^{\circ}C$ were significantly higher for 1:3 and 1:6 dilution rate(semen：diluent) groups than for 1:1 dilution rate group(P<0.05). In Fertility results after artificial insemination with the conservation of 3 hours at 5∼25$^{\circ}C$ temperature, no significant difference were found in fertility on dilution rate among treatments. Fertilities after artificial insemination with the conservation of 3 hours at 35$^{\circ}C$ were significantly higher for 1.3 and 1:6 dilution rate(semen：diluent) groups than for 1：1 dilution rate group(P<0.05).

Artificial insemination of cryopreserved semen is not practiced in broiler breeder industry although its benefit has been recognized for years. Thus, the present study explored the possibility of artificial insemination with cryopreserved semen in Ross broiler breeders. Sixty Ross female broiler breeders were artificially inseminated either with fresh or with cryopreserved semen pooled from five male Ross broiler breeders. On.e hundred eighty eggs were collected from each semen treatment and hatched. Fertility and hatchability of fertilized eggs collected from hens artificially inseminated with cryopreserved semen were 68.0 and 47.1％, respectively, compared to 88.3 and 87.2％ with fresh semen. Both unfertilized eggs and dead embryos during hatch were significantly (P<0.05) higher in the cryopreserved semen­treated group by approximately 2.7­ and 3.2­fold than the fresh semen­treated counterparts. the moderately low fertility and markedly low hatchability of fertilized eggs obtained from cryopreserved semen observed in this study may be of practical interests in broiler breeder industry and deserves further study.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of liquid rooster semen on reproductive ability in chicken. Raw and diluted semens were stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ cold temperature for 6, 30, and 54 hours after semen collection. There was no statistically difference in sperm motility throughout the 6 hours period of storage among raw semen and diluted semen groups with skim milk glucose solution (SM), egg yolk glucose solution (EY), and saline. But there was decrease in those throughout the period of 30 and 54 hours of storage. Sperm motility and normal sperm for the period of 30 and 54 hours of storage were significantly better in SM and EY diluted groups (P<0.05). Fertilization rates of rooster semen diluted with SM were 90.77, 87.70, and 59.46% for 6, 30, and 54 hours stored groups, respectively, those proved to be higher in SM-diluted group than other groups.

This work was conducted to investigate the effects of phytase on the growth performance, excreta excretion, and N and P excretion of broilers for 7 weeks. One hundred ninety two Ross broiler (one-day-old) with average weight $44.7{\pm}1.5$ g were assigned randomly to 4 treatments groups (12 birds/pen, 4 pens/treatment) as $2{\times}2$ complex factors of sex of broiler male, female) and phytase 2 treatments (0, 300 FTU/kg), and fed experimental diets for 6 weeks (starter, 0~2 wk; earlier, 2~4 wk; finisher, 4~7 wk). The experimental diets included that phytase was added to the basal diet. Body weight was high at male treatment and at phytase treatment. Feed intake was high at male treatment and was no difference between phytase and non-phytase treatment. Feed efficiency was the highest at male and phytase treatment. Manure excretion was high at male treatment and reduced at phytase treatment. Excretion of N and P was high at male treatment and at non-phytase treatment. Finally, when phyase was added to basal diet, the growth performance of broilers was improved and excreta excretion and N and P excretion of broilers were decreased.
