To produce F1 hybrid of silkworm sex discrimination has to be followed at the pupal stage by sexual organ. However it requires a lot of labour and may bring about a wrong classification. In these regards, this study has been implemented to find out an effective measure for the pupal sex discrimination by use of variation of cocoon weight and image analysis of cocoon. As a result, it was found that in case of the pupal weight the percentage of a wrong classification fell on 0.3% and in case of single cocoon weight 0.4%. The discrimination rate was 99% in the weight variables of cocoon but analysis by single cocoon weight and cocoon shape variables, it was 98.7%. Efficiency of discrimination was increased by 2.7% as compared to variable of single cocoon weight. The minimum cocoon sampling size may be 15 cocoons sexual-wise.

많은 척추동물의 성비는 1:1이며 암수는 각 세대에 거의 같은 수가 태어난다. 생식 행동도, 암컷만이 집단을 형성하는 대형 포유류 등을 제외하면, 암수 1:1로부터 차세대가 재생산 된다. 야생 집단에서는 같은 수의 암수를 전제로 대부분의 생태가 형성되어 있다고 생각되어 지기 때문에, 차세대의 유전적 영향도 암수에 의한 차는 일반적으로 없다. 그러나, 축산을 비롯한 산업 동물에서는 상품 가치, 생산 효율, 재생산 등에 암수의 성에 따른 큰 차이가 나타나는 경우가 있고, 암수 어느 한 쪽이 선택.사육되는 경우도 있다. 낙농의 암컷 소, 양계업의 암컷 병아리의 선택은 좋은 예라고 할 수 있다. 더욱이, 가축에서는 육종 목적으로 유전적으로 우량한 소수의 수컷으로 많은 암컷과 교배시키는 경우가 있고, 극단적으로 치우친 성비로 재생산을 행하는 경우도 있다. 이와 같이 산업동물에서는 성 제어의 유용성이 예상되어 기술 개발이 요구되고 있다. 산업 생산의 대부분은 자연 번식 집단으로부터의 어획물로 되어 있어, 이것들의 성 제어가 곤란하며 무의미하다. 그러나, 양식 대상종 및 종묘 방류를 행하는 재배어업에서는 그 기술 도임에 의한 효과가 기대된다. 인위적 재생산 기술이 확립되어 있는 어종에서는 양식, 증식을 불문하고 기술 개발과 도입여부를 적극적으로 검토하여야 한다. 여기서는, 재생산 기술이 확립되어, 양식 및 인공 부화 방류가 활성화된 연어.송어과 어류의 성 제어 기술 개발 상황과 실용화의 현상을 논하겠다.

Organic bases in the dorsal meat of wild common carp, Cyprinus carpio, were analyzed as a part of the studies on the taste compounds of fresh-water fishes. The male and female meat showed no significant differences in contents of total creatinine, betaine, TMA and TMAO. The most abundant basic compound was total creatinine $(ca.\;400mg\%)$. The amount of betaine was poor $(ca.\;66.5mg\%)$ and TMA and TMAO were trace in content $(below\;1mg\%)$.

The study was conducted to investigate the correlation and regression analysis between the factors - diameter, hight and crown width - and collection amount of Rhus lacquer by the sex of Rhus verniciflua. The relationship between the diameter and the collection amount of the lacquer by the sex of the lacquer tree indicated that, for both of the male and the female, the lacquer amount was likely to increase as the diameter got larger. In general, the male trees tended towards the higher amount of the lacquer than the female. The relationship between the crown width and the collection amount of the lacquer by the sex showed little difference. As the crown became wider, however, the lacquer amount showed the increasing trend. The regression analysis by the sex of the tree indicated that the major factors of the female had larger influence on the lacquer amount than those of the male. The no differences of statistical significance were found among the diameter, the height, the crown width, and the lacquer amount.

Common finch is a kind of ornamental birds and could not distinguish male and female birds. For sex discrimination of Common finch, we investigated 400 birds of Common finch using the anatomical differences of Pars intermandibularis and traditional methods that currently used at the farms. Both methods have the sex determination accuracy of 48.82 and 46.0 ％ that the anatomical difference method seems little higher results than the traditional methods. More researches is needed for improving the sex determination accuracy.

The acute toxicity of xylooligosaccharide(XO) was evaluated in SD rats. Groups of 15 male and 15 female rats were orally administered XO (0, 5000 or 10000 mg/kg). The changes of body weight and clinical signs were investigated for 14 days after treatments. No death and toxic effects were observed for 14 days. Soft stool and diarrhea appeared right after treatment for over dose and non-digestive feature of XO but these clinical signs disappeared on the next day. No significant changes in body weight and abnormal gross findings were observed in relation to XO. According to the results, XO has no special toxic effects and LD50 values of XO are above 10000 mg/kg in male and female rats.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of mixed rearing of male and female chickens on the stress response in Korean native chickens. To identify the degree of the stress response, heterophil-lymphocyte ratio (H/L ratio), heat shock protein genes (HSPs) expression, and intracellular nuclear DNA damage rate were analyzed before and after the mixed rearing of male and female chickens. The results showed that the H/L ratio of chickens after mixing males and females was more than thrice as higher than before mixing (P<0.001), but the differences between males and females were not significant. HSP-70, HSP90-α, and HSP90-β expression levels were 2.5 to 3.4 times higher after mixing male and female chickens, compared to before mixing (P<0.01). In the mixed rearing of male and female chickens, the increase in HSPs expression in females was higher than in males. Comet indicators in intracellular DNA damage rate analysis showed a significant increase after mixing male and female chickens compared to before mixing (P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference between males and females with respect to DNA damage rate. Taken together, these results suggest that male and female mixed rearing acts as a strong external stressor in both male and female chickens.

A study was carried out to investigate meat production ability of Korean native Ogol fowl (Natural Monument No, 265). The aims of this study were to provide basal data necessary for preserve of purebred and improvement of meat production ability of this breed. A total 300 chickens were used in this study. All the chickens were ad libitum fed broiler starter during period from 0 to 4 weeks of age and broiler finisher during period from 5 to 16 weeks of age. The investigated items are as follows; body weight; growth rate: weight of edible end inedible parts; and body shape components. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. Average body weight in male, female, and unsexed, of native Ogol fowls were $659.0{\pm}154.9$, $588.3{\pm}68.0$ and $623.7{\pm}121.9$ at 8 weeks of age, and $938.1{\pm}72.6$, $810{\pm}104.4$ and $874.1{\pm}109.4$g at 10 weeks of age, respectively. 2. The growth rates, unsexed, during periods 2~4, 4~6, 6~8 and 8~10 weeks of age were 166, 106, 41 and 40%, respectively. 3. The growth pattern of total edible parts in both sexes were highly significant by weeks. Total weight of edible parts in male and female were $395.4{\pm}$ and $355.6{\pm}42.0$g at 8 weeks of age, $597.5{\pm}$47.2 and $518.7{\pm}98.5$69.7g at 10 weeks of age. Percentage of total edible parts, unsexed, were 60~63% of body weight during periods from 8 to 10 weeks of age. 4. Edible giblet, unsexed, at age of 8 and 10 weeks were 4~6% of body weight. 5. Percentage of body weight of inedible part were on the decreased by weeks. The amount of blood blooded, feather plucked, inedible viscera and total inedible parts, unsexed, at 8 weeks of age were 4, 7, 12 and 31% of live body weight, respectively. 6. Except breast angle and shank diameter, the other body shape components significantly grew from 2 to 10 weeks of age. Different between male and female at 8 weeks of age were significant in breast girth, keel length, drumstick girth and shank diameter. 7. In both sexes, highly significant differences were found in the correlation coefficients between live body weight and several other body shape component, i. e., breast girth, drumstick girth, and edible part.

Chemosterilant effect of chlorpyrifos-methyl (CPM) on the beet armyworm, Spodoptera e.rigua (Hubner) was investigated, using topical application. Egg fecundity and fertility were analyzed in the adults reared from the fifth instar larvae which were treated with sublethal doses of CPM. Though CPM reduced fecundity a little, it gave significant negative effect on egg fertility in a dose-dependent manner. Genetic analysis was performed by reciprocal crosses between treated (100 Wgllarva) and untreated individuals and showed a dominant lethal effect of CPM on egg fecundity and fertility. This results indicate that chlorpyrifos-methyl may act as a chemosterilant as well as a well-known neurotoxicant, and suggest that it can be used in genetic control program.
