The southern type grasses announced for the test were the Bermudagrass cultivars (Giant, Cheyenne, Mohawk, Panchero Frio, Common and Tifton 85) and the Bahiagrass cultivars (TifQuik, Tifton 9), and the changes in the productivity and nutrient content were surveyed in Jeju area (450m altitude). The different cultivars were sowed by broadcasting or drill seeding method, and Tifton 85 was transplanted from sprigs. The fresh and dry matter yield showed varying significant differences for different cultivars (p<0.05). The fresh yields of Tifton 85, TifQuik and Tifton 9 were excellent, compared to the other cultivars, and for the dry matter yield, Tifton 85 and Tifton 9 were excellent when compared to the other cultivars. Crude protein content showed significant differences among different cultivars (p<0.05). Cheyenne, Mohawk, Panchero Frio, and Common showed differences in the crude protein content by sowing method and harvest time (p<0.05). The different cultivars showed differences in the crude fiber content (p<0.05), and Tifton 9 registered significantly high content and Mohawk and Tifton 85 showed significant crude fiber content by harvest time (p<0.05). According to these results, the southern type grass cultivars showed big differences in the regenerative capacity against damage from frost, productivity, and nutrient content, so they need to be chosen according to the purposes, and to increase their usage, their evaluation needs to be conducted at various altitudes.

Pigs have been considered as an ideal source of donor organs because of their plentiful supply and their numerous anatomical and physiological similarities to the human in xenotransplantation. However, for the public health risks associated with the potential for porcine endogenous retrovirus(PERV) infection through xenograft from pig to human, the investigation of methods for elimination and/or control of PERV has been required. In this study we developed the detection and classification methods for PERV based on PCR using specific primers. PERV-A and PERV-B were found in all pigs including Berkshire, Duroc, Landrace, Yorkshire, miniature pig, and Korean native black pig from Jeju by PCR with type-specific primers for PERV. However, PERV-C was detected only from Duroc, miniature pig, and Korean native black pig from Jeju. PERV-A and PERV-B could be distinguished by PCR-RFLP with BamHI. These methods for PERV will be useful in rapid screening of safe organ for xenograft, furthermore, helpful in monitoring of PERV during and after xenotransplantation.

This study was carried out to compare the physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of surimi manufactured by four different materials. We prepared surimi from alaska pollack, as the control, by washing method. The different treatments of surimi were manufactured by pH 11.0 adjustments with barren hen breast meat(T1), commercial mechanically deboned chicken meat(MDCM)-S. Co. (T2)and MDCM- J. Co.(T3). Whiteness, cohesiveness and overall acceptability were significantly higher but gumminess, chewiness and gel characteristics were significantly lower in control than other surimi samples(P<0.05). Lightness, brittleness, deformation, jelly strength and flavor were higher but texture properties and folding test of T1 were lower than those of other treatments(P<0.05). Texture properties, shear force and gel characteristics were higher, while deformation and acceptability of T2 were lower than those of other treatments(P<0.05). On the other hand, cohesiveness was higher, and lightness and whiteness were lower in T3 than those of other treatments(P<0.05). Correlation coefficients(>0.9) among texture properties and gel characteristics was positive, while negative among surface surimi colors(P<0.05). The content of crude protein, cohesiveness and gel characteristics indicated that the acceptable surimi can be made is replaced barren hen breast meat and MDCM.

This study utilized test day of somatic cell score data of dairy cattle from 2000 to 2004. The number of data used were 124,635 of first parity, 134,308 of second parity, 77,862 of third parity, 41,787 of forth parity and 37,412 of fifth parity. The data was analyzed by least square mean method using GLM to estimate the effects of calving year, age, lactation stage, parity and season on somatic cell score. Variance component estimation using test day model was determined by using expectation maximization algorithm- restricted maximum likelihood (EM-REML) analysis method. In each parity, somatic cell score was low for younger group and was relatively high in older groups. Likewise, for lactation stage, the score was low in early-lactation and high in late-lactation in first parity and second parity. Nevertheless, for the third, fourth and fifth parity, however, high somatic cell score was observed in mid-lactation. Generally, the score was high in the peak. Although in fourth and fifth parity, the score was low in late-lactation. Environmental effect of season, somatic cell score was generally low from September to November for all parities. The score was high between June and August when the milk production is usually low. The heritability in each parity were 0.05, 0.09, 0.10, 0.05 and 0.05 for parity 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, respectively. Genetic variance value was estimated to be high in second, third and fifth parity in early-lactation and to be low in first and forth parity.

The objective of this study was to investigate the exposure assessment of Korean consumers to edifenphos and tricyclazole in cattle product fed the rice straw, using a probabilistic approach. We used tricyclazole and edifenphos residue data in rice straw reported by National Academy of Agricultural Science (NAAS) for the 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2010 monitoring study and National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service (NAQS) for 2009 monitoring study. The mean exposures of edifenphos and tricyclazole for all of Korean consumers were 0.027% and 0.0006% of ADI and $99%^{th}$ percentile exposures were 0.034% and 0.0007% of ADI respectively. The group of 1~6 years old consumers has the lowest exposure of edifenphos and tricyclazole. The group of 19~29 years old consumers has the highest exposure of edifenphos and tricyclazole.

스마트 시설환경은 대표적으로 원예, 축산 분야 등 여러 형태의 농업현장에 정보 통신 및 데이터 분석 기술을 도입하고 있는 시설화된 생산 환경이라 할 수 있다. 근래에 하드웨어적으로 급증한 스마트 시설환경에서 생산되는 방대한 생육/환경 데이터를 올바르고 적합하게 사용하기 위해서는 일반 산업 현장과는 차별화 된 분석기법이 요구된다고 할 수 있다. 소프트웨어 공학 분야에서 연구된 빅데이터 처리 기술을 기계적으로 농업 분야의 빅데이터에 적용하기에는 한계가 있을 수 있다. 시설환경 내/외부의 다양한 환경 변수는 시계열 데이터의 난해성, 비가역성, 불특정성, 비정형 패턴 등에 기인하여 예측 모델 연구가 매우 난해한 대상이기 때문이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 근래에 관심이 급증하고 있는 인공신경망 연구 소프트웨어인 Tensorflow (www.tensorflow.org)와 대표적인 Open source인 OpenNN (www.openn.net)을 스마트 시설환경 환경변수 상호간 상관성 분석에 응용하였다. 해당 소프트웨어 라이브러리의 운영환경을 살펴보면 Tensorflow 는 Linux(Ubuntu 16.04.4), Max OS X(EL capitan 10.11), Windows (x86 compatible)에서 활용가능하고, OpenNN은 별도의 운영환경에 대한 바이너리를 제공하지 않고 소스코드 전체를 제공하므로, 해당 운영환경에서 바이너리 컴파일 후 활용이 가능하다. 소프트웨어 개발 언어의 경우 Tensorflow는 python이 기본 언어이며 python(v2.7 or v3.N) 가상 환경 내에서 개발이 수행이 된다. 주의 깊게 살펴볼 부분은 이러한 개발 환경의 제약으로 인하여 Tensorflow의 주요한 장점 중에 하나인 고속 연산 기능 수행이 일부 운영 환경에 국한이 되어 제공이 된다는 점이다. GPU(Graphics Processing Unit)의 제공하는 하드웨어 가속기능은 Linux 운영체제에서 활용이 가능하다. 가상 개발 환경에 운영되는 한계로 인하여 실시간 정보 처리에는 한계가 따르므로 이에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 한편 근래(2017.03)에 공개된 Tensorflow API r1.0의 경우 python, C++, Java언어와 함께 Go라는 언어를 새로 지원하여 개발자의 활용 범위를 매우 높였다. OpenNN의 경우 C++ 언어를 기본으로 제공하며 C++ 컴파일러를 지원하는 임의의 개발 환경에서 모두 활용이 가능하다. 특징은 클러스터링 플랫폼과 연동을 통해 하드웨어 가속 기능의 부재를 일부 극복했다는 점이다. 상기 두 가지 패키지를 이용하여 2016년 2월부터 5월 까지 충북 음성군 소재 딸기 온실 내부에서 취득한 온도, 습도, 조도, CO2에 대하여 Large-scale linear model을 실험적(시간단위, 일단위, 주단위 분할)으로 적용하고, 인접한 세그먼트의 환경변수 예측 모델링을 수행하였다. 동일한 조건의 학습을 수행함에 있어, Tensorflow가 개발 소요 시간과 학습 실행 속도 측면에서 매우 우세하였다. OpenNN을 이용하여 대등한 성능을 보이기 위해선 병렬 클러스터링 기술을 활용해야 할 것이다. 오프라인 일괄(Offline batch)처리 방식의 한계가 있는 인공신경망 모델링 기법과 현장 보급이 불가능한 고성능 하드웨어 연산 장치에 대한 대안 마련을 위한 연구가 필요하다.

Antimicrobial resistant bacteria has recently emerged and been disseminated in livestock environments because of excessive use of antimicrobial agents for the therapeutic and growth promotion purposes to food animals. In particular, there is potential for multidrug-resistant bacteria that can be transmitted from animals to mankind. In this study, we investigated the genotypes of E. coli strains isolated from humans and chickens using multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) and antimicrobial resistance patterns by disk diffusion method along with integron study involving antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. From July 2013 to July 2014, E. coli strains isolated from clinical specimens (n=44) and poultry chickens (n=34). ST131 (n=20) was most common in human-derived E. coli. ST752 (n=7) was most common in chicken-derived E. coli, with four isolates each for ST117, ST189, and ST69. Of the 44 E. coli strains isolated from humans, 25 of had a class 1 integron, as opposed to only 11 of 34 strains in the E. coli isolated from chickens. There were differences in genotypes and antimicrobial resistance patterns between the chicken-derived and the human-derived E. coli.

This study was carried out to find out the effect of seed date and rate on the agronomic characteristics and yield of forage barley in paddy field of Suwon, from 2001 to 2003. The main plots were consisted of different seeding dates such as 5th and 20th October and 5th November. The subplots were consisted of different seeding rates of barley such as 160, 190 and 220 kg/ha. Plant height was increased at the early seeding. Dry matter(DM) percentage of barley was decreased as the seeding date was delayed. Dry matter percentages of 5th and 20th October and 5th November were 47.4, 41.5 and 34.5%, respectively. Fresh matter yield of barley decreased from 30,092 to 16,018 kg/ha as the seeding date was delayed. And fresh matter yield of barley was significantly increased with the increase in the seeding rate. Dry matter yield of barley decreased from 14,230 to 5,521 kg/ha as the seeding date was delayed. And dry matter yield of barley was significantly increased with increase in the seeding rate(p<0.05). The results obtained from this study indicate that both the seeding date of 20th October and seeding rate of 220 kg/ha would be recommendable for forage yield of barley in paddy field.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate condensed molasses solubles(CMS, a by-product from monosodium glutamate production) as a source of nitrogen for ruminant with particular reference to its effects on microbial protein synthesis. Four non-lactating dairy cows fitted with rumen cannulas were used in a 4 ${\times}$ 4 Latin square with 14-day periods. The four treatments were (1) basal diet consisting of barley straw ad libitum and 3 kg/d of rolled barley, (2) basal diet plus 200 gld molasses and 300 g/d water, (3) basal diet plus 200 g/d molasses, 100 g/d CMS and 200 g/d water, (4) basal diet plus 200 g/d molasses, 200 g/d CMS and 100 g/d water. Ruminal pH remained at high levels and showed little variation during the day between treatments. The concentration of total and individual VFA in the rumen was similar between treatments. There was no difference in the concentration of ammonia in the rumen between treatments, although the intake of nitrogen in molassesl CMS mixture treatments was higher than that of control and molasses treatment. But there was a suggestion of an increased synthesis of microbial protein with the higher level of inclusion of CMS when the allantoin/creatinine ratio was used as an index of microbial protein production(P <0.10).
