Tritium behavior in the solid breeder blanket is one of the key factors in determining tritium self-sufficiency, as well as safety, of fusion reactors. Recently, a model has been developed to describe the tritium behavior in solid breeder material, which can predict the tritium release and inventory in the blanket. However, the model has limitation to account for tritium solubility effects, mainly existing as LiOT, especially inside the $Li_{2}O$ solid breeder. In order to improve the capability of predicting the LiOT precipitation in $Li_{2}O$ solid breeder, a new logic is developed and integrated in the existing tritium release and inventory calculation code. With the logic developed in this work, the code can have capabilities to analyze tritium release and inventories in $Li_{2}O$ under steady and transient conditions. It can be found that tritium inventory as LiOT is an important mechanism under pulsed operation, and the amount of inventory becomes higher as the tritium generation rate increases and the temperature decreases. Also, the temperature limits for the generation of LiOT precipitation are determined. Therefore the developed logic helps understand the tritium transport mechanism in $Li_{2}O$ solid breeder.

배경 : 이 연구에서는 조류인플루엔자에 대한 가금류 사육업자의 신고의지 및 이에 대한 언론보도에 의한 영향 등을 파악함으로써 조기감시 및 방역 등에서 중요한 대상인 가금류 사육업자의 적극적 참여를 유도할 수 있는 홍보 전략의 필요성을 제시하고자 하였다. 방법 : 연구는 가금류 사육업자 28명과 비사육업자 60명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 사육업자는 ‘08년도 조류독감 유행지역에서, 비사육업자는 유행이 없었던 지역에서 선정하였다. 조사기간은 2008년 7월-8월 2개월이었다. 설문내용은 대상자의 일반 특성, 조류인플루엔자에 대한 주관적 지식 및 인지 수준, 언론보도에 대한 영향 및 신뢰수준 등으로 구성하였다. 결과 : 조언론보도가 자신과 다른 사람에게 미치는 영향에 대한 ‘제3자 효과’는 사육업자에서 32.1%로서 비사육업자의 10.0%보다 높게 나타으며(p<0.05) 조류인플루엔자와 관련된 언론보도에 대한 신뢰수준은 사육업자(2.86)에서 비사육업자(3.43)보다 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 조류인플루엔자 유행을 인지한 경우 신고의지는 사육업자 71.4%, 비사육업자 90.0%로서 전자에서 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 신고의지가 없는 사람들에서 신고하지 않겠다는 이유로는 사육업자는 ‘신고시 감수해야 하는 경제적 손실에 대한 우려’가 87.5%로서 가장 많았다. ‘언론보도에 대한 신뢰도’는 ‘제3자 효과’와 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 조류인플루엔자에 대한 관심도나 심각성에 대한 인지수준이 높을수록 제 3자 효과는 증가하며 제3자 효과가 증가할수록 언론보도에 대한 신뢰도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 결론 : 조류인플루엔자와 관련된 질병관리 문제들을 해결하기 위해서는 가금류 사육업자의 조류인플루엔자에 대한 올바른 인식 및 지식의 습득뿐만 아니라 언론보도의 내용이나 방향성에서 정확한 정보 제공과 더불어 사육업자의 심리 및 감성을 고려하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Results of experiments on the nutrient requirements and feeding system of broiler breeder hens were reviewed, and daily requirements of energy and protein were calculated using the prediction equations reported by Scott(1977) and NRC(1981). The experimental reports on daily ME needs of broiler breeder hens were ranged from 400 to 450 kcal, however, the ME needs of caged hens were 92~93% to those of floor-housed hens due to the difference of ME need for activity. The ME needs of broiler breeders decreased with increasing environmental temperature corresponding to a drop of 25 kcal per day for each 5˚C rise. About 80~90% of the daily ME needs were used for body rnaintenance and activity of hens. Experimental results on daily protein needs of broiler breeder hens were ranged from 18 to 22 g, however, calculated protein needs decreased as the BW gain and eggmass output decreased after peak production, and about 60~65% of the daily protein needs were used for egg production. In the current practice, broiler breeder hens are restricted in feed, and consume their daily allowance in the first 2 to 6 h after dawn. The results suggest that eggshell quality can be significantly improved in hens fed during the afternoon when shell calcification is initiated, with no adverse effect on laying rate and fertility of eggs.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of reproductive ability on weeks and body weights of broiler breeder males. From 26 to 36 week, volume of semen and body weight were increased. Total concentration was highest at 36 week(P〈0.05), being 21.14$\times$10(sup)8 cells. Mean of total concentration was 14.66$\times$10(sup)8 cells and 11.59$\times$10(sup)8 cells in young(26∼55 weeks) and old(60∼89 weeks) broiler breeder males, respectively. Percentage of fertile eggs, viability and hatchability on weeks were 96.33, 89.55, 86.25% in the young broiler breeder males, 94.84, 91.73 and 86.97% the old broiler breeder males, respectively. The values were not significantly different between the young and old broiler breeder males. While the body weight of cocks was less than 3.5kg, it was not possible to collect semen. Semen collection rate was the best in 4.5∼5.0kg of males, total concentration was highest in 5.0∼5.5kg, volume of semen was highest in 5.5∼6.0kg body weight. More than 80% of the males were in the range of 4∼6kg body weight. Sperm motility was acceptable for breeding.

This study was undertaken to clarify the relationship between the cause of repeat-breeder and the luteal dysfunction in repeat-breeder dairy cows that failed to conceive to three or more artificial insemination(AI) at a regular interval. Progesterone concentrations were measured in milk fat for 20 to 22 days after AI. From the 15 repeat-breeder dairy cows, six cows had a normal progesterone profiles. Five cows showed a delayed rise of the progesterone concentrations until 7 to 10 days after AI, two cows had a comparatively low concentration of milk progesterone below 150 ng/ml through most of the luteal phase, and two cows had a combined pattern of a delayed rise and a low concentration of milk progesterone during luteal phase. It is suggest that luteal dysfunction as indicated by progesterone profiles is one of the causes of repeat-breeder in dairy cows.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of breeder age and stocking density on performance, carcass characteristics and some stress parameters (H-L ratio, serum glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, tonic immobility test (TI), antibody production, relative asymmetry (RA) and external appearances). This experiment was carried out with 705 one-day old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) obtained from three different ages of broiler breeder (32, 48 and 61 wks). Each age group was randomly divided into two stocking density groups (11.9 and 17.5 broilers per $m^2$) with 5 replications per group. The experimental period was 6 weeks. Broilers from 32 wk-old breeders had lower initial weight (p<0.001), body weight gain of the first 3 week of rearing (p<0.01), the percentage of abdominal fat (p<0.001) and serum cholesterol level (p<0.01); higher percentage of gizzard (p<0.01) and longer TI duration (p<0.001) than those from 48 and 61 wk-old breeders. Broilers reared at 17.5 b/m2 had lower final BW, body weight gain, feed consumption, feather condition and foot health (p<0.001), higher percentage of heart, H-L ratio, serum glucose and cholesterol levels (p<0.001), and longer TI durations (p<0.001). There were no significant interactions in examined parameters except for feed to gain ratio between breeder age and stocking density.

We investigated the serological prevalence of avian metapneumovirus (AMPV), avian reovirus (ARV), Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) in 760 broiler breeder (38 flocks), in the Jeonbuk province in 2013. This study was conducted to evaluate the immune and infection status of the broiler breeder flocks against AMPV, ARV, MG, MS by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Serological test for AMPV were positive 37 (97.3%) flocks and 712 (93.6%) broiler breeder and geometric mean antibody titers were $16,350{\pm}10,195$, ARV were high positive rate 100% (38/38) flocks and 97.8% (743/760). The seropositive flocks against MG were 71.1% (27/38) and the geometric mean antibody titers were $2,474{\pm}2,045$, whereas the rates of positive flocks against MS were 50.0% (19/38) and the geometric mean antibody titers were $1,469{\pm}1,230$.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the present situation of broiler breeder industry, and to investigate some problems related to it in Korea. The number of broiler breeding farms were 231 in 1990. It peaked to 264 in 1992, but decreased afterward to 232 in 1995. The number of broiler parent stock were over 4 millions since 1992 except in 1993. The number of commercial chicks produced per breeding hen was around 100, which is far below to the suggested values of breeding companies. The number of hatching eggs produced per breeding hen were 168 eggs in US, 156~170 eggs in Thailand, and 160~170 eggs in China. Factors involved in the lowered performances of broiler parent stock in Korea appear to be 1) the poor isolation of breeding farms from commercial broiler farms, causing easy contamination with various diseases, 2) the failure to provide proper environment to the breeder, and 3) the failure to control body weight during laying periods.
