Pellets and prey remains were analyzed to compare diets and foraging tactics of Eurasian eagle owls (Bubo bubo) in two different habitat types: forested areas and open fields. Overall 150 prey items of three taxa were identified from 66 pellets and 82 prey remains, and the birds were the most important prey in biomass (78.04%) and in frequency (56.67%). Eurasian eagle owls frequently used rats (Rattus spp.), ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus), and stripped field mice (Apodemus agrarius), but the ring-necked pheasant was most important in biomass in both habitat types. The owls generally foraged various prey in biomass but the mean mass of vertebrate prey used by the Eurasian eagle owls was 503.3g in central Korea. According to the comparison of diets in the two different habitat types, the owls used bigger and more diverse prey in forested areas than in open fields. In forested areas, the Eurasian eagle owls frequently foraged the pheasants and Mandarin ducks (Aix galericulata), but they preferred prey of particular sizes to prey of particular taxa. In open fields, however, the owls showed opportunistic foraging tactics by selecting many small mammals such as rodents or a few large birds.

The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation among the measurements of the body weight and shank length at the age of 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 wk, and to investigate the regression of the final body weight at the age of 20 wk in selection on the body weight and shank length before 12 wk of age. From the simple correlation analysis, the range of correlation coefficients between body weight and shank length at the same age were 0.50~0.83 from females, and 0.57~0.85 from males over all wk of age(P＜0.01). Correlation coefficient between the body weights at hatch and 20 wk of age was 0.44(P＜0.01), but it was not significant(P＞0.05) between the shank length at hatch and body weight at 20 wk of age. The favorable regression models for the estimation of the body weight at the age of 20 wk from both body weight and shank length before 12 wk of age were the models with the independent variables of measurements at hatch and 12 wk of age($R^2$＝0.96), with the measurements at 8 and 12 wk of age($R^2$＝0.96), and with the measurements at 0, 8 and 12 wk of age ($R^2$＝0.96).

The morphological study was carried out to classify the spermatogenic germ cells of the seminiferous tubule in Korean Native Pheasant during the breeding season. The results were as follows : 1. The spermatogonia can be classified into the three types of A, In(intermediate) and B. 2. The primary spermatocyte can be classified into the five types as preleptotene, leptotene, zygotene, pachytene and diakinesis. 3. The maturing processes of nucleus of spermatid can be divided into seven steps. The round shape of the spermatid was changed to the elongated form during the spermiogenesis. This observation may be useful to the study of the breeding cycles in the Korean Native Pheasant.

To develop processed meat products of pheasant, cut-up parts of pheasant carcass was analyzed, and eight different pheasant meat products were prepared and evaluated for sensory qualities. The average live weight of pheasant was 1,089.2g, and the ratio of carcass to live weight was 75.6%. The cut-up part ratios of breast, leg, neck, back and wings to carcass weight were 33.4%, 22.5%, 5.0%, 4% and 9.5%, respectively. The chemical compositions of breast and leg meat were shown to be moisture of 73.72% and 75.58%, protein of 25.31% and 22.69%, fat of 0.28% and 0.83%, and ash of 0.84% and 0.90%, respectively. Sensory evaluation of eight different meat products of pheasant revealed that all products of pheasant meat, except frankfurt sausage, received equal or better taste score compared with products of chicken or pork, and flavor score except pressed ham and salad. Color, binding ability and particle perception scores of pheasant meat products were equal or superior to those of respective meat products of chicken or pork. The present results suggest that pheasant meat has a potential to be utilized for various value-added products and that the meat bun is the most promising product of pheasant meat. A reinforcement of color, binding ability and particle perception of meat products of other species could also be expected by addition of pheasant meat to them.

This study was conducted not only to analyze ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity with fronds and rhizomes of nine Pteridophyte species, but also to select the plant materials suitable for natural ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor. Harvested rhizomes and fronds were washed, freeze-dried and grinded. After conducting ultrasonification extraction for 30 minutes in ultrasonic water tank with 100% methanol solvent, and vacuum filtration, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity was measured. Acarbose was used as the positive control. After mixing $100{\mu}L$ of 0.7 unit ${\alpha}$-glucosidase enzyme solution into $50{\mu}L$ of extract and reacting them at $37^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes, $50{\mu}L$ of 1.5 mM ${\rho}$-NPG solution was taken and reacted at $37^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes. The reaction was stopped with 1 mL of 1 M $Na_2CO_3$ and absorbance was measured in 405 nm. With the regression analysis, the content of solubility solids (the value of $IC_{50}$) which can inhibit 50% of 0.7 unit ${\alpha}$-glucosidase solution's activity was investigated. The frond ($IC_{50}=14.00{\sim}913.33{\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$) and rhizome extracts ($IC_{50}=12.93{\sim}205.84{\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$) of nine Pteridophyte species showed higher ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity in comparison with acarbose ($IC_{50}=1413.70{\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$). The extracts of fronds and rhizomes showed higher value than acarbose by 1.55~100.98 and 6.87~109.33 times each. Especially, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activities of Pyrrosia lingua in fronds and Osmunda cinnamomea var. fokiensis in rhizomes were the highest. The necessary biomass of fronds and rhizomes for inhibiting 50% of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity showed the lowest value, 0.35, 0.27 mg each, in O. cinnamomea var. fokiensis. $IC_{50}$ value of P. lingua was the highest among fronds of nine Pteridophyte species, but content of soluble solids was 2.4 times less than O. cinnamomea var. fokiensis. So frond of O. cinnamomea var. fokiensis is more economic in comparison with P. lingua. As the result of this study, O. cinnamomea var. fokiensis showed high ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity even with small biomass. Therefore it was considered to be high-valued economic material as natural ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor.

The heavy metal contents accumulated in the birds organ were analyzed by use of 10 species of birds to investigate the environmental pollution of the birds inhabited in Mt. Chiri. Heavy metal concentrations in bird organs, e.g. muscle, liver, kidney, lung and heart were analyzed for 10 species of the birds. 1. Contents of some heavy metal elements such as Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn were similar level compared with any other district. But contents of some heavy metal elements shch as Pb, Cd and Hg were comparatively lower level than those in any other district. 2. The contents of heavy metal accumulation in the muscle of the bird organs were detected much more from the migrants than the resident birds ; the resident bird, Phasianus colchicus were detected to contain $0.01{\mu}g/g$ og Hg and $0.05{\mu}g/g$ of Cd, but in the migrant bird, Turdus dauma they were detected to contain $0.17{\mu}g/g$ of Hg and $0.08{\mu}g/g$ of Cd. 3. The contents of lead were scarcely detected in the muscle of 10 species of birds, but it was highly detected from the hunting (meat-eating) birds such as Phasianus colchicus ($0.17{\mu}g/g$) and Streptopelia orientalis ($0.11{\mu}g/g$). Generally, the concentration of heavy metals of the analyzed birds was more mercury than Cadmium.

Frozen korean traditional poultries(Manyker, Korean native fowl, Ogol fowl and Pheasant) were thawed at $5^{\circ}C$, and $20^{\circ}C$ in the air, and using a microwave oven. Effect of thawing methods on the quality of Korean poultry was investigated. The pH of the poultry muscle was lowered after thawing in all treatments. The pH of the muscle thawed by microwave oven was the lowest. The quantity of drip released after thawing was the least in a microwave thawing. The quantity of drip in Maniker and Pheasant was loss than Ogol fowl. The relationship between pH and water binding capacity showed highly significant, and the drip quantity after thawing increased as the pH decreased. Leg muscle has higher strength than breast muscle in all the Korean poultry. Shear strength of all the poultry muscle showed closely relative related to the pH. As the pH lowered, the shear strength of the muscle was also decreased.
