This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the particle size (PS) of alfalfa hay (AH) and soybean hull (SH) on milk production of dairy cows and the population of major cellulolytic bacteria in the rumen. Eight lactating Holstein cows, averaging $590{\pm}33\;kg$ BW and $47{\pm}13$ days in milk (DIM), were assigned in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design to a $2{\times}2$ factorial arrangement of treatments: alfalfa hay particle size (fine vs. coarse) combined with soy hull (zero or substituted as 50% of AH). The cows were fed diets formulated according to NRC (2001). Physically effective factor (pef) and physically effective fiber (peNDF) contents of diets increased by increasing AH particle size and inclusion of SH in the diets (p<0.01). Dry matter intake was not significantly affected by treatments but intake of peNDF was increased marginally by increasing the PS of AH (p = 0.08) and by SH inclusion (p<0.01) in the diets. Milk production was increased by feeding diets containing SH (p = 0.04), but it was not affected by the dietary PS. Milk fat content was increased by increasing AH particle size (p = 0.03) and decreased by SH substitution for a portion of AH (p<0.01). The numbers of total bacteria and cellulolytic species were not affected by PS of AH or by SH. F. succinogenes was the most abundant species in the rumen followed by R. albus and R. flavefaciens (p<0.01). This study showed that SH cannot replace the physically effective fiber in AH having either coarse or fine particle size. In diets containing SH, increasing of diet PS using coarse AH can maintain milk fat content similar to diets without SH. Particle size and peNDF content of diets did not affect the number of total or fibrolytic bacteria in the rumen.

To investigate an efficient microalgal feed for lariat culture of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, we prepared three types of Isochrysis aff, galbana (T-iso) : 1) freshly Harvested feed, 2) concentrated feed and 3) freeze-dried feed. The chemical compositions and fatty acid content of these feeds were evaluated and survival rate and lipid content of oyster larvae fed by these feeds were also determined. There was no significant difference in all types of feed in the gross biochemical compositions, In the fatty acid composition, the freeze-dried feed showed a significant increase in the level of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) than freshly Harvested feed, especially EPA was 7.35-fold higher than freshly Harvested feed. The survival rate of the oyster larvae was the highest when the larvae were fed with a diet of $10\%$ freeze-dried and $90\%$ concentrated feed; it was 2.1-fold higher than that fed with freshly Harvested food alone. Thereafter, the survival rate decreased with the increased substitutions of freeze-dried food, finally equalling that fed $100\%$ freshly harvested feed at the $30\%$ substitution. Larval lipid content of the oyster was also the highest when the larvae were fed with a diet of $10\%$ freeze-dried and $90\%$ concentrated feed. This increase was by 1.6-fold ver that fed $100\%$ freshly Harvested cells. Thus feed produced during slack times, on a seedling aquaculture farm, and preparedas a freeze-dried diet can be used, mixed with concentrated feed, to supply diets more efficiently and to improve the larvae survival rate of Pacific oyster.

A Korean traditional food, sulgidduk, was prepared with the supplementation of whole wheat flour (WWF) high in dietary fiber, and its quality characteristics were investigated depending on the WWF content (3, 5, and 7%). There was no significant difference found in moisture content of final products. Colorimetric analysis revealed that L-value representing brightness decreased with increasing WWF content. In texture profile analysis, freshly-made samples did not show measurable difference in hardness depending on WWF content. However, stored samples at 25$^{\circ}C$ for up to 3 days exhibited a decrease in hardness with increasing WWF content, indicating retardation of retrogradation related to WWF addition. Springiness and chewiness values showed decreasing trend with WWF content especially for stored samples. Retardation of retrogradation with WWF addition was also evidenced by observing the increment of time constant calculated from Avrami equation. Analysis of sensory evaluation demonstrated that considering flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability, 5% substitution of rice flour with WWF could be a promising formulation for quality product with high nutritional value.

Objective: It is crucial to accurately determine the net energy (NE) values of feed ingredients because the NE system is expected to be applied to the formulation of broilers feed. The NE values of 5 wheat and 5 wheat brans were determined in 12-to 14-day old Arbor Acres (AA) broilers with substitution method and indirect calorimetry method. Methods: A total of 12 diets, including 2 reference diets (REF) and 10 test diets (5 wheat diets and 5 wheat bran diets) containing 30% of test ingredients, were randomly fed to 864 male AA birds with 6 replicates of 12 birds per treatment. These birds were used to determine metabolizable energy (ME) (8 birds per replicate) in the chicken house and NE (4 birds per replicate) in the chamber respectively at the same time. After a 4-d dietary and environment adaptation period, growth performance, energy values, energy balance and energy utilization were measured during the following 3 d. Multiple linear regression analyses were further performed to generate prediction equations for NE values based on the chemical components and ME values. The NE prediction equation were also validated on another wheat diet and another wheat bran diet with high correlation (r = 0.98, r = 0.75). Results: The NE values of 5 wheat and 5 wheat bran samples are 9.34, 10.02, 10.27, 11.33, and 10.49 MJ/kg, and 5.37, 5.17, 4.87, 5.06, and 4.88 MJ/kg DM, respectively. The equation with the best fit were NE = 1.968AME-0.411×ADF-14.227 (for wheat) and NE = -0.382×CF-0.362×CP-0.244×ADF+20.870 (for wheat bran). Conclusion: The mean NE values of wheat and wheat bran are 10.29 and 5.07 MJ/kg DM in AA broilers. The NE values of ingredients could be predicted by their chemical composition and energy value with good fitness.

Sodium is an essential nutrient with very important functions, including regulation of the extracellular fluid volume and active transport of molecules across the cell membranes. Since high levels of dietary sodium are associated with a high prevalence of hypertension, prehypertension, and other adverse effects on health, many national and international health organizations (WHO, FAO, etc.) recommend that sodium intake should be significantly decreased. In developed nations, cheese products, from among many processed foods, can cause high salt intake. Hence, there is an urgent need to reduce the content of salt in cheese processing, using various substitutes of sodium chloride (NaCl). In general, salt (NaCl) has been used as a food preservative to limit and (or) kill the growth of foodborne pathogens and spoilage organisms by decreasing the water activity, and to improve texture and flavor. To maintain public health, the salt content in cheese should be decreased without influencing the physicochemical properties of cheese. Therefore, the objective of this review is to outline the upcoming technologies used to reduce the salt content in different types of cheese using various substitutes.
