This study investigated the chemical composition and ruminal degradability of corn stover in three maize-planting regions in Qiqihaer, Heilongjiang Province, China. The whole stover was separated into seven morphological fractions, i.e., leaf blade, leaf sheath, stem rind, stem pith, stem node, ear husk, and corn tassel. The assessment of nutritive value of corn stover and its fractions was performed based on laboratory assays of the morphological proportions, chemical composition, and in situ degradability of dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF). The chemical composition of corn stover was significantly different from plant top to bottom (p<0.05). Among the whole corn stover and seven morphological fractions, leaf blade had the highest crude protein (CP) content and the lowest NDF and ADF contents (p<0.05), whereas stem rind had the lowest CP content and the highest ADF and acid detergent lignin (ADL) contents (p<0.05). Ear husk had significantly higher NDF content and relatively lower ADL content than other corn stover fractions. Overall, the effective degradability of DM, NDF, and ADF in rumen was the highest in leaf blade and stem pith, followed by ear husk. The results indicate that leaf blade, ear husk, and stem pith potentially have higher nutritive values than the other fractions of corn stover. This study provides reference data for high-efficiency use of corn stover in feeding ruminants.

총체사료용으로 이용되고 있는 맥종들의 출수 후 수확시기 및 식물체 부위별 사료가치 변화를 분석하여 각 맥종의 최적 이용시기를 결정함으로써 효율적인 조사료 이용에 필요한 기초 자료를 얻고자 수행한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 조단백질 함량은 전 맥종에서 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 식물체 전체 조단백질의 함량이 낮았다. 식물체 부위 별로는 출수 후 40일 수확을 제외하고는 잎의 단백질 비율이 가장 높으며, 줄기 부분은 어느 시기에서나 10% 미만으로 다른 부위에 비해 매우 낮은 수준이었다. 2. 출수 후 일수가 경과함에 따라 전반적으로 ADF함량이 낮아졌고 부위별로는 줄기의 ADF함량이 다른 부위보다 높고 잎의 ADF함량은 줄기와 이삭의 중간 정도의 비율을 나타냈다. 줄기의 건물중 비율이 높아지면 전체 ADF함량 비율이 직선적으로 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 3. 호밀을 제외한 전 맥종에서 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 NDF함량은 낮아졌는데 호밀은 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 줄기 건물중의 비율이 높아 전체 NDF함량이 높아졌다. 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 줄기와 잎의 NDF함량 변화는 크게 변화가 없는 반면 이삭의 NDF함량은 출수 후 일수가 경과함에 따라 낮게 나타났다. 4. 호밀을 제외하고는 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 RFV가 높아지며, 부위별로는 이삭의 RFV가 가장 높았고 줄기가 가장 낮았다. 식물체 전체 RFV 변이는 출수 후 이삭의 등숙이 진행되면서 잎과 줄기의 낮은 RFV를 보상함에 따라 전체적으로 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 RFV가 높아지는 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 재배되고 있는 벼 품종들의 볏짚 사료가치를 구명하고 이에 관련되는 형질을 검토하고자 수행하였다. 볏짚은 질이 낮은 조사료이므로 사료가치 평가를 볏짚수량, 조단백질함량, ADF 및 NDF 함량을 지표로 한 표준화점수, RFV 및 군집분석에 의하여 수행하였으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1 볏짚수량은 대안벼가 725.9 kg/10a로 가장 높았고, 금남 벼, 동진 벼 1호, 추청 벼 순으로 높았다. 조단백질함량은 다산벼가 $5.35\%$로 가장 높았다. 2. ADF는 중화 벼가 $34.3\%$로 가장 낮았으며, NDF는 소백벼가 $63.8\%$로 가장 낮았다. 3. 표준화합산점수, RFV 및 군집분석에 의하여 사료가치를 평가한 결과 둔내벼, 오봉벼, 서안벼, 금오벼, 화성벼, 농안벼, 계화벼가 사료가치가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 4. 조단백질함량과 관련된 형질은 엽건물중과 종실건물중이 정의 관계였고, ADF 및 NDF와 관련된 형질은 파종후부터 출수일 까지의 일수, 간장, 엽건물중이 정의 관계였고, 줄기의 건물중이 부의 관계로 나타나 줄기의 건물중이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향이었다. 5.표준화점수 및 RFV의 사료가치와 관련된 분석에서 줄기 건물중 만이 정의 관계를 보이고, 나머지 형질들은 부의 관계를 보여, 볏짚의 사료가치는 줄기의 비율이 높아 소화율을 증가시키는 품종이 높음을 알 수 있었다.

Changes of in vitro true digestibility (IVTD) of Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum) were determined by a filter bag system, and their relationships to chemical composition, leaf to stem ratio, plant height, geographic location, climatic factors and harvest interval were studied and used to develop prediction models for the crude protein (CP), acid-detergent fiber (ADF), and neutral-detergent fiber (NDF) contents and IVTD. Partitioning the total variance of IVTD of Napiergrass showed that 80% was attributable to the effect of harvest interval. Days of growth, plant height, leaf/stem ratio, CP, ADF and NDF of Napiergrass had highly significant relationships (p<0.01) with IVTD. The highest coefficient of correlation between the ADF, NDF, and IVTD of Napiergrass and growth degree days was obtained when the base temperature was set at $0^{\circ}C$. Growth degree days could predict ADF, NDF, and IVTD of Napiergrass more accurately than plant height, and plant height is not suitable to predict IVTD.

To determine the effect of different growth stages and cultivars on the chemical composition of sorghum plant and its morphological fractions, samples of whole plant, leaf and stem of J.S-263, J.S-88 and Hegari cultivars, harvested at various growth stages were drawn for analysis. All the samples were analysed for their dry matter contents and various cell wall components such as NDF, ADF. hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin, cutin and silica. Significant increase in DM contents of whole sorghum plant, leaf and stem was observed with advancing stage of growth. The highest DM content was recorded in leaf fraction of the plant. All the cell wall constituents increased significantly in whole sorghum plant, leaf and stem as the plant matured. The maximum NDF, ADF, cellulose and lignin contents were observed in stem fraction, followed by whole plant. However, the hemicellulose, cutin and silica contents were higher in leaf fraction of the plant. The cultivars were found to have some effect on the chemical composition of whole plant, leaf and stem fractions. The results indicated that plant maturity had a much greater effect on the chemical composition of sorghum plant, whereas it was little affected by cultivars.

A study was conducted on four maize cultivars to determine the dry matter and fibre digestibility as influenced by advancing plant age. Samples of maize cultivars Akbar, Neelum, UM-81 and IZ-31 were harvested at weekly intervals/ growth stages. The samples of morphological fractions such as leaf and stem were also collected at various growth stages. Whole mixed fodder and different fractions of maize plant were analysed for their chemical composition and in vitro digestibility. The results showed that in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of whole maize plant, leaf and stem decreased significantly with advancing stage of maturity. Digestibility of NDF, ADF, hemicellulose and cellulose decreased significantly in all plant parts with advancing plant age/growth stages. Maximum values for the digestibility of dry matter and various cell wall constituents were observed in leaf, followed by whole plant and stem fractions. Cultivars were observed to have significant effect of IVDMD and digestibility of NDF, ADF and cellulose in all plant fractions. The results indicated that digestibility of maize fodder was affected by stage of maturity and cultivars. However, maturity had a greater effect on digestibility in all plant fractions than did cultivars. Dry matter contents were found to be significantly and negatively correlated with IVDMD of whole plant and its leaf and stem fractions. Based on correlations, regression equations were computed to predict IVDMD.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), which is composed of a transition metal atom and chalcogen ion atoms, usually form vacancies based on the knock-on threshold of each atom. In particular, when electron beam is irradiated on a monolayer TMD such as MoS₂ and WS₂, S vacancies are formed preferentially, and they are aligned linearly to constitute line defects. And then, a hole is formed at the point where the successively formed line defects collide, and metal clusters are also formed at the edge of the hole. This study reports a process in which the line defects formed in a monolayer WS₂ sheet expends into holes. Here, the process in which the W cluster, which always occurs at the edge of the formed hole, goes through a uniform intermediate phase is explained based on the line defects and the formation behavior of the hole. Further investigation confirms the atomic structure of the intermediate phase using annular dark field scanning transition electron microscopy (ADF-STEM) and image simulation.

Samples of whole plant, leaf and stem of Akbar, Neelum, UM-81 and lZ-31 cultivars of maize fodder harvested up to 14 weeks at different growth stages were drawn and analysed for dry matter contents and various cell wall constituents such as NDF, ADF, hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin, cutin and silica. The dry matter contents of whole maize plant, leaf and stem increased significantly (p<0.01) with advancing plant age. Maximum dry matter was found in the leaf fraction of the plant. The cell wall components continued to increase significantly (p<0.001) in whole maize plant and its morphological fractions as the age advanced. Maximum values for NDF, ADF, cellulose and lignin were observed in stem followed by whole plant and leaf, whereas hemicellulose, cutin and silica contents were higher in leaf fraction of the plant. The cultivars were observed to have some effects on chemical composition of all plant fraction. The results indicated that maturity had a much greater effect on the concentration of all the structural components than did the cultivars. It was concluded that maize fodder should be cut preferably between 8th to 9th week of age (flowering stage) to obtain more nutritious and digestible feed for livestock. Among the maize cultivars, Neelum proved to be the best, due to its higher dry matter contents and lower lignin concentration.

To determine optimal plant density of forage rape in southern areas of Korea, Velox, the highest yielding variety among seventeen introduced varieties of forage rape, was grown under five different plant densities. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. Yield components such as stem diameter, number of main stem,leaves, number of branches and number of branch leaves and fresh yield were highest at the plots with 50cm row spacing and 30cm plant spacing. 2. Dry matter yield, content of crude protein, IVDMD and digestible dry matter yield were highest at the plots of broadcasting. 3. Since plants under high density were high in plant length and small in stem diameter, contents of crude fiber such as NDF, ADF, cellulose and lignin were lowest at the plots of broadcasting.

Browse from oriental white oak(Quercus aliena Blume) was analysed for nutritive value and biomass estimation. The content of cmde protein was high on August and September. NDF, ADF and lignin contents were increased with progressing the seasons but IVDMD, TDN, DE and ME levels were not different from the variation of seasons. Tannin content was high on May and June. Basal stem diameter $\times$ height of tress was highly correlated with browse dry weights(r=0.80**) and the linear regression equation are the follows; Y = 8.23 + O.57X(Y = browse dry weight(g), X= basal stem diameter $\times$ height(cm)). Using the traditional cutting method, the amounts of browse was determined as 823 g dry weight per tree, while the new method by the above equation gave a similar results, i. e., 793 g dry weight per tree. The possibility of browse biomass estimation of oriental white oak by the basal stem diameter $\times$ height index was found.
