넙치사료에 유자과실을 갈아서 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5% 첨가하여 3개월 간 사육한 후 사육효과 및 자체 항병력 증가 효과를 알아보았다. 유자를 첨가한 사료에서 성장의 유의적인 증가는 없었으나 7.5% 첨가 사료로 사육한 넙치는 2.5%~5% 첨가한 넙치 보다 체중 증가량이 적었다. 혈액학적인 조사 결과에서도 유자첨가로 인하여 넙치의 생리 상태에 부정적인 영향을 보이지는 않았으며 혈중 GOT 및 총콜레스테롤을 감소시키는 효과가 있어 건강도가 증진되는 것으로 나타났다. 혈청의 항세균 활성은 7.5% 시험구에서 높았으나, 라이소자임 활성은 실험구간 차이가 없었다. 어류병원세균의 인위감염에 대한 넙치의 질병저항성은 실험구 간에 차이가 없었으나 2.5% 유자 첨가구의 넙치에서 폐사가 지연되는 효과를 보였다. 그러므로 사료에 유자를 첨가하여 사육하는 것은 넙치의 어류생리학적 식품영양학적인 면에서 부정적인 영향은 없으나 유자첨가량을 2.5 %~5 % 사이로 하여 사육하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단되었다.

Sustaining future wheat production is challenged by anthropogenically forced climate warming and drying led by increased concentration of greenhouse gases all around the globe. Warming stresses, originating from the elevated $CO_2$ concentration, are continuously reported to have negative impacts on wheat growth and yield. Yet, elevated $CO_2$ concentration, despite being disparagingly blamed for promoting warming, is also associated with a phenomenon called $CO_2$ enrichment; in which wheat yield can improve due to the enhanced photosynthesis rates and less water loss through transpiration. The conflicting nature of climate warming and $CO_2$ enrichment and their interplay can have specific implications under different environments. It is established form the field and simulation studies that the two contrasting phenomena would act severely in their own respect under arid and semi-arid environments. Wheat is a dietary staple for masses in Pakistan. The country's wheat production system is under constant stress to produce more from irrigated agricultural lands, primarily lying under arid to semi-arid environments, to meet the rapidly growing domestic needs. This work comprehensively examines the warming impacts over wheat yield and water productivity (WP), with and without the inclusion of $CO_2$ enrichment, under semi-arid environment of Punjab which is the largest agricultural province of Pakistan. Future wheat yields and WPs were simulated by FAO developed AquaCrop model v 5.0. The model was run using the bias-correction climate change projections up to 2080 under two representative concentration pathways (RCP) scenarios: 4.5 and 8.5. Wheat yield and WPs decreased without considering the $CO_2$ enrichment effects owing to the elevated irrigation demands and accelerated evapotranspiration rates. The results suggested that $CO_2$ enrichment could help maintain the current yield and WPs levels during the 2030s (2021-2050); however, it might not withhold the negative climate warming impacts during the 2060s (2051-2080). Furthermore, 10 - 20 day backward shift in sowing dates could also help ease the constraints imposed by climate warming over wheat yields and WPs. Although, $CO_2$ enrichment showed promises to counteract the adverse climate warming impacts but the interactions between climate warming and $CO_2$ concentrations were quite uncertain and required further examination.

Objective: This study evaluated the growth, digestibility and rumen fermentation between goats and sheep fed a fattening diet fortified with linseed oil. Methods: Twelve 3 to 4 months old male goats and sheep were randomly allocated into two dietary treatment groups in a $2(species){\times}2$ (oil levels) factorial experiment. The treatments were: i) goats fed basal diet, ii) goats fed oil-supplemented diet, iii) sheep fed basal diet, and iv) sheep fed oil-supplemented diet. Each treatment group consisted of six animals. Animals in the basal diet group were fed with 30% alfalfa hay and 70% concentrates at a rate equivalent to 4% of their body weight. For the oil treatment group, linseed oil was added at 4% level (w:w) to the concentrate portion of the basal diet. Growth performance of the animals was determined fortnightly. Digestibility study was conducted during the final week of the feeding trial before the animals were slaughtered to obtain rumen fluid for rumen fermentation characteristics study. Results: Sheep had higher (p<0.01) average daily weight gain (ADG) and better feed conversion ratio (FCR) than goats. Oil supplementation did not affect rumen fermentation in both species and improved ADG by about 29% and FCR by about 18% in both goats and sheep. The above enhancement is consistent with the higher dry matter and energy digestibility (p<0.05), as well as organic matter and neutral detergent fiber digestibility (p<0.01) in animals fed oil- supplemented diet. Sheep had higher total volatile fatty acid production and acetic acid proportion compared to goat. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggested that sheep performed better than goats when fed a fattening diet and oil supplementation at the inclusion rate of 4% provides a viable option to significantly enhance growth performance and FCR in fattening sheep and goats.

Objective: This experiment was conducted to determine the chemical composition, digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) contents of corn germ meals (CGM) and to develop equations to predict the corresponding energy contents based on the chemical characteristics of individual CGM. Methods: Sixty-six barrows (initial body weight = $51.3{\pm}4.6kg$) were allotted to 11 diets including a basal diet and 10 CGM test diets in a completely randomized design. In the test diets, CGM was included in replacement of 30% of the energy-providing ingredients in the basal diet, resulting in a final inclusion rate of 29.1%. Each diet was fed to 6 barrows housed in individual metabolism crates for a 7-d acclimation period followed by a 5-d total but separate collection of feces and urine. Results: Considerable variation was observed in acid-hydrolyzed ether extract, ether extract, ash, calcium (Ca) and total phosphorus contents among the CGM samples. On dry matter (DM) basis, the DE and ME contents of the CGM ranged from 10.22 to 15.83 MJ/kg and from 9.94 to 15.43 MJ/kg, respectively. The acid detergent fiber (ADF) contents were negatively correlated with the DE and ME contents of CGM samples. The best-fit prediction equations for the DE and ME values (MJ/kg DM) of the 10 CGM were: DE = 26.85-0.28 insoluble dietary fiber (%)-17.79 Ca (%); ME = 21.05-0.43 ADF (%)-11.40 Ca (%). Conclusion: The chemical compositions of CGM vary depending on sources, particularly in ether extract and Ca. The DE and ME values of CGM can be predicted based on their chemical composition in growing pigs.

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of including L-glutamine along with glutamic acid as a supplement in weaned piglets' diets with and without whey powder. Methods: Two assays were carried out. A total of 40 piglets ([Landrace×Large White]×Pietrain) weaned at 24 days of age with an initial body weight of 6.6±0.6 kg were used in the first assay, and the following parameters were evaluated: growth performance, the incidence of diarrhea, morphometry, intestinal integrity, and hepatic glycogen index. The animals were then blocked into four groups according to different diets: diet all-grain feeding (G); diet all-grain feeding with whey powder (GW); and with vs without 1% supplementation of the commercial product containing L-glutamine and glutamic acid (A or NA). Whey powder was added according to the stage of life, corresponding to 17%, 10%, and 5%, respectively, in order to meet the need for lactose. The animals were evaluated at 24 to 42 days and at 24 to 55 days of age. The nutrient digestibility for the second assay was carried out by using 24 animals with an average weight of 11.49±1.6 kg, and the same diets were tested. Results: The supplementation of L-glutamine + glutamic acid or the addition of whey powder in diets for weaned piglets provided (p<0.05) greater feed intake, greater weight gain and improved feed conversion in the initial period (24 to 42 days age). However, in the whole period (24 to 55 days age) only amino acid supplementation affected (p<0.05) growth performance. There was a positive interaction (p<0.05) between the type of diet and L-glutamine + glutamic acid supplementation on villus height, crypt depth and the villus:crypt ratio in the duodenum. In addition, L-glutamine + glutamic acid supplementation reduced (p<0.05) the crypt depth and improved the villus:crypt ratio in the jejunum. The inclusion of whey powder affected (p<0.05) positively the digestibility coefficients analyzed except mineral matter digestibility coeficients. The supplementation of 1% the commercial product composed of L-glutamine and glutamic acid improved (p<0.05) only the digestibility coefficient of crude protein. Conclusion: These results indicate that supplementation of 1% commercial product containing L-glutamine + glutamic acid in diets for piglets from 24 to 55 days of age, dispenses with the use of whey powder when evaluating growth performance. Amino acid supplementation alone or associated with whey powder affects (p<0.05) positively the indicators of the intestinal integrity.

Objective: Our study examined the impact of propriety blends of Bacillus strain probiotics on the performance, egg quality, and faecal microflora of laying hens. Methods: A total of 183 Institut de selection Animale (ISA) brown laying hens aged 23 weeks with an average body weight of 1,894±72 g were randomly allocated into 3 groups as control (corn-soybean meal based diet, CON), 0.5 g/kg Enterosure probiotics (ET1, 3×10⁸ colony-forming unit [CFU]/kg feed), and 5 g/kg Enterosure probiotics (ET2, 3×10⁹ CFU/kg feed) administered in mashed form. At the completion of each phase hen day egg production (HDEP), average egg weight (AEW), feed intake, and faecal microbiota were evaluated. Results: HDEP and AEW were higher (p<0.05) in the ET2-supplemented diet in phase 3 (week 9 to 12) compared with CON. Egg mass (EM) was higher (p<0.05) in phase 2 at ET2, and also higher (p<0.05) in phase 3 at the ET1 and ET2-supplemented diets compared with CON. Feed conversion ratio was lower (p<0.05) in phase 3 at the ET1 and ET2-supplemented diets, with ET2 being the lowest compared with ET1 and CON. Yolk colour was higher (p<0.05) in the ET-supplemented diets at phase 3 compared with CON. Bifidobacterium spp. was higher (p<0.05) in the ET2- supplemented diet compared with CON in phase 2, while in In phase 3, Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp. were higher (p<0.05) in the ET-supplemented diets compared with CON. Coliforms were lower (p<0.05) in the ET-supplemented diets compared with CON in phase 3. Conclusion: The propriety blends of Bacillus strain probiotics supplements at 0.5 g/kg and 5 g/kg could improve the production and quality of eggs with more significance at 5 g/kg for HDEP, AEW and EM, which was achieved via the increase of beneficial microbiomes such as Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., and the decrease of pathogenic microbiomes like Escherichia coli and Coliforms which was speculated to improve gut barrier function and the reproductive hormone.

Glyconutrients help in the body's cell communication. Glyconutrients and synbiotics are promising options for improving immune function. Therefore, we hypothesized that combining synbiotics and glyconutrients will enhance pig nutrient utilization. 150 pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc), initially weighing 58.85 ± 3.30 kg of live body weight (BW) were utilized to determine the effects of synbiotics-glyconutrients (SGN) on the pigs' performance, feed efficiency, gas emission, pork traits, and composition of fatty acids. The pigs were matched by BW and sex and chosen at random to 1 of 3 diet treatments: control = Basal diet; TRT1 = Basal diet + SGN 0.15%; TRT2 = Basal diet + SGN 0.30%%. The trials were conducted in two phases (weeks 1-5 and weeks 5-10). The average daily gain was increased in pigs fed a basal diet with SGN (p = 0.036) in weeks 5-10. However, the apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter, nitrogen, and gross energy did not differ among the treatments (p > 0.05). Dietary treatments had no effect on NH₃, H₂S, methyl mercaptans, acetic acids, and CO₂ emissions (p > 0.05). Improvement in drip loss on day 7 (p = 0.053) and tendency in the cooking loss were observed (p = 0.070) in a group fed basal diets and SGN at 0.30% inclusion level. The group supplemented with 0.30% of SGN had higher levels of palmitoleic acid (C16:1), margaric acid (C17:0), omega-3 fatty acid, omega-6 fatty acid, and ω-6: ω-3 ratio (p = 0.034, 0.020, 0.025, 0.007, and 0.003, respectively) in the fat of finishing pigs. Furthermore, group supplemented with 0.30% of SGN improved margaric acid (C17:0), linoleic acid (C18:2n6c), arachidic acid (C20:0), omega 6 fatty acid, omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, unsaturated fatty acid, and monounsaturated fatty acid (p = 0.037, 0.05, 0.0142, 0.036, 0.033, 0.020, and 0.045, respectively) in the lean tissues of finishing pigs compared to pigs fed with the control diets. In conclusion, the combination of probiotics, prebiotics, and glyconutrients led to higher average daily gain, improved the quality of pork, and more favorable fatty acid composition. Therefore, these results contributed to a better understanding of the potential of SGN combinations as a feed additive for pigs.

남은 음식물에서 Aspergillus oryzae(AO)의 유용한 배양조건(시간, 수분함량, 접종균수)을 구하기 위하여 2가지 실험과 닭에서 그 배양물의 영양소 이용율을 구명하기 위하여 본 시험을 수행하였다. <시험 1> 적정 배양시간과 접종균수의 측정을 위하여 수분함량을 30, 40, 50, $60\%$로 정하였다. 잔반 사료에 접종하는 seed로서 1mL Aspergillus oryzae(AO) $(1.33\times10^5\;CFU/mL)$를 이용하였다. 배양을 위한 적정 수분함량은 $40\~50\%$였으며 배양시간은 72시간 이상이었다. 계속하여 AO 균수에 의한 효과를 결정하기 위해 AO seed 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00mL를 남은음식물 사료에 접종하였다. AFW의 AO균수를 비교하기 위하여 72시간과 96시간 배양하였으나, 접종량에 따른 유의차는 없었다. 다시 수준을 낮추어 0.01, 0.05, 0.10mL를 접종하고 72시간과 96시간동안 배양한 결과, 72시간 배양 AO colony 수는 0.1 mL 접종 처리 구에서 가장 많았다. <시험 2> FW의 배양조건을 결정한 후에, 20수의 5주령 Hubbard종을 공시하여 소화율 시험을 수행하였다. 처리구는 T1-대조구, T2-기초사료 $60\%$+건조잔반 $40\%$, T3-기초사료 $60\%$+건조잔반 $20\%$+AO균 접종 건조잔반 $20\%$, T-4-기초사료 $60\%$+AO균 접종 건조잔반 $40\%$ 처리구 등 총 4처리구, 처리구당 5반복씩 20수를 인공항문 장착하여 소화율을 조사하였다. 영양소 소화율에 있어 일반성분과 아미노산은 대조구에 비해 T2 처리구가 전성분에서 낮았고(p<0.05), AFW(T3, T4)처리구에 비해 조지방과 인의 소화율에서 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). T3와 T4는 T2에 비해 조섬유 및 조회분의 소화율이 증가하였다(p<0.05). 대조구는 T3와 T4에 비해 필수아미노산인 arginine, leucine, phenylalanine의 소화율이 높았으나(p<0.05), T3와 T4 처리구는 T2 처리구에 비해 필수아미노산 arginine, lysine 및 thereonine과 비필수아미노산 alanine의 소화율이 개선되었다(p<0.05). 이러한 결과들로부터 건조 잔반의 AO 배양조건 구명과 영양소 이용율 시험을 통해 FW사료의 품질이 기초사료에 비해 영양소 이용율이 낮고, AFW 사료가 AO에 의해 개선될 수 있음을 시사한다

본 연구는 Aspergillus oryzae 배양물이 in vitro 건물, 섬유소 및 단백질 소화율과 pH에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 균종 Aspergillus oryzae는 한국 생명공학연구원에서 분양받았으며, 본 연구에 사용된 사료는 시중 유통중인 착유우용 배합사료와 TMR 사료로서, 일반성분 분석은 (주)우성사료 중앙실험실에서 실시하였고, 건물, 섬유소 및 단백질 소화율 실험은 충남대학교 실험실에서 실시하였다. 배합사료와 TMR에 Aspergillus oryzae 배양물 0, 1.0, 2.0 및 3.0%를 첨가한 후, Holstein종 착유우로부터 채취한 반추위액에 시료 2.0g 내외를 넣어 진탕배양기에서 24, 48 및 72시간 소화시켰다. 침전물에 0.2% pepsin이 들어있는 0.1N HCl 30ml를 넣고 $39^{\circ}C$ incubator에서 48시간 소화시키고 나서, 마지막으로 침전물을 $60^{\circ}C$의 건조기에서 48시간 건조시켰다. 실험은 3회 반복하여 실시하였다. 건물 소화율은 Aspergillus oryzae 발효물을 첨가하지 않은 대조구에 비해 24시간 배양시킨 배합사료의 경우 2.1%(63.1%), 9.7%(68.5%) 및 9.0%(68.0%) 개선되었고, TMR은 4.8%(60.0%), 6.4%(61.1%) 및 2.9%(58.8%)의 개선효과가 있었다. 이와 대조적으로, 48시간 및 72시간 배양시킨 시험구의 건물 소화율에 Aspergillus oryzae 배양물이 미치는 영향은 24시간 배양시보다 상대적으로 낮은 경향을 보였다. 섬유소 소화율에서 Aspergillus oryzae가 조섬유, ADF 및 NDF 소화율을 유의적으로 개선시킨다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 배합사료에서 3% 첨가구의 경우 24시간 배양시 13.3%(53.3%), 72시간 배양시 2.4%(54.6%)까지 증가되었다. 하지만, 첨가수준에 따라 소화율이 높아졌음에도 불구하고 첨가수준별 개선효과에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 단백질 소화율은 Aspergillus oryzae 배양물 첨가에 의해 배합사료에서 0.4%(79.7%)에서 9.4%(71.8%)의 유의적인 개선효과를 나타내었지만, 2.0%와 3.0% 첨가구간의 유의적인 차이는 인정되지 않았다. TMR의 경우에는 4.0%(70.4%)에서 6.3%(65.1%)의 유의적인 소화율 향상을 나타내었지만 2.0%와 3.0% 첨가구간의 유의적인 차이는 인정되지 않았다. 본 연구에서, pH 처리구간 유의적인 차이는 없었으나, Aspergillus oryzae 배양물 첨가에 따라 pH가 약간 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그러므로 본 발효물은 pH에는 영향을 미치지 않으나 건물, 섬유소 및 단백질 소화율 향상에는 다소 효과가 있 는 것으로 결론을 내릴 수가 있다.

Phytase 공급원으로 밀과 밀기울의 첨가가 육계 생산성 및 P이용률에 미치는 영향을 측정하기 위해 5주간의 사양 실험을 실시하였다. 갓 부화한 1,000수의 병아리(Ross$^{(R)}$)를 20pen에 50수씩(암수 각 25수) 공시하여 5처리 4반복으로 완전임의 배치하였다. T1은 대조구로 정상수준의 nonphytate-P(NPP)를 함유하였고, T2는 T1 －0.1% NPP의 低 NPP구, T3는 T2 + 사료 kg당 600IU microbial phytase(NOVO$^{(R)}$)구, T4는 T2 + 밀과 밀기울로 사료 kg당 600IU plant phytase 공급구, T5는 T2 + 밀과 수침 후 건조 처리한 밀기울로 사료 kg당 600IU plant phytase 공급구 였다. NPP 수준을 0.1% 감소시킨(T2) 처리에서 생산성과 사료효율이 감소되었고 식물성 phytase 처리시(T4와 T5)에서는 생산성이 회복되었다. 식물성 phytase 처리구들(T4와 T5)이 microbial phytase 처리구(T3)보다 더 나은 결과를 보였다. 정상 밀기울구(T4)와 수침 후 건조 처리한 밀기울구(T5)와는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 폐사율은 低  NPP(T2)에서 가장 높았다. 육성 사료에서 조지방과 조회분 이용률에 일반 밀기울 처리구(T4)가 가장 높았다. Ca과 P의 이용률 또한 T4가 가장 높고 T3와 T5가 다음으로 높았다. Phytase 처리구 (T3, T4와 T5) 들은 Mg, Fe와 Zn의 이용률을 크게 증가시켰다. Ca, P, Mg, Fe와 Zn의 배설량은 microbial phytase가 가장 적었다. 혈청내 Ca과 Mg의 함량은 低 NPP에서 가장 높았고, 경골내 조회분 함량은 T2와 T3가 T1, T4와 T5보다 낮았다. 그러나 경골내 Ca 함량은 T1과 T2가 다른 처리구들보다 높았다. 경골내 P과 Mg의 함량은 T1구가 가장 높았다. 결론적으로 밀기울을 통한 식물성 phytase의 공급은 P 이용률 향상에 효과적이었다. 수침 후 건조처리하는 것은 이용률 향상에 도움이 되지 않았다.
