This study estimated the fermentation characteristics and nutrient value of corn-lablab bean mixture silages relative to corn silages. The effects of feeding corn-lablab bean mixture silages on nutrient apparent digestibility and milk production of dairy cows in northern China were also investigated. Three ruminally cannulated Holstein cows were used to determine the ruminal digestion kinetics and ruminal nutrient degradability of corn silage and corn-lablab bean mixture silages. Sixty lactating Holstein cows were randomly divided into two groups of 30 cows each. Two diets were formulated with a 59:41 forage: concentrate ratio. Corn silage and corn-lablab bean mixture silages constituted 39.3% of the forage in each diet, with Chinese wildrye hay constituting the remaining 60.7%. Corn-lablab bean mixture silages had higher lactic acid, acetic acid, dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ash, Ca, ether extract concentrations and ruminal nutrient degradability than monoculture corn silage (p<0.05). Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) concentrations of corn-lablab bean mixture silages were lower than those of corn silage (p<0.05). The digestibility of DM, CP, NDF, and ADF for cows fed corn-lablab bean mixture silages was higher than for those fed corn silage (p<0.05). Feeding corn-lablab bean mixture silages increased milk yield and milk protein of dairy cows when compared with feeding corn silage (p<0.05). The economic benefit for cow fed corn-lablab bean mixture silages was 8.43 yuan/day/cow higher than that for that fed corn silage. In conclusion, corn-lablab bean mixture improved the fermentation characteristics and nutrient value of silage compared with monoculture corn. In this study, feeding corn-lablab bean mixture silages increased milk yield, milk protein and nutrient apparent digestibility of dairy cows compared with corn silage in northern China.

Of the twelve lytic bacteriophages recovered from five different fermenting cucumber tanks that were inoculated with Pediococcus sp. LA0281, a lytic phage, ${\phi}ps05$, was characterized in the present study. The plaques were mostly clear and round-shaped on the lawn of starter strain, indicating lytic phage. Overall appearance indicated that it belongs to the Siphoviridae family or Bradley's group B1, with a small isometric head and a flexible noncontractile tail with swollen base plate. The average size was found to be 51.2 nm in head diameter and 11.6 nm wide ${\times}$ 129.6 nm long for the tail. The single-step growth kinetics curve showed that the eclipse and the latent period were 29 min and 34 min, respectively, and an average burst size was calculated to be 12 particles per infective center. The optimum proliferating temperature ($35^{\circ}C$) was slightly lower than that of cell growth ($35\;to\;40^{\circ}C$). The structural proteins revealed by SDS-PAGE consisted of one main protein of 33 kDa and three minor proteins of 85, 58, and 52 kDa. The phage genome was a linear double-stranded DNA without cohesive ends. Based on the single and double digestion patterns obtained by EcoRI, HindIII, and SalI, the physical map was constructed. The overall size of the phage genome was estimated to be 24.1 kb. The present report describes the presence of a lytic phage active against a commercial starter culture Pediococcus sp. LA0281 in cucumber fermentation, and a preliminary study characterizes the phage on bacterial successions in the process of starter-added cucumber fermentation.

본 연구는 반추동물이 볏짚을 소화하는 과정 중에 주요 섬유소 분해 박테리아의 분포 변화를 연구하여 반추위내 볏짚이용효율을 증진시키기 위한 진보적 연구 자료를 제공하고자 실시하였다. 본 연구를 수행하기 위하여 분쇄 볏짚을 기질로 사용한 In vitro 반추위 발효를 실시하였으며, 배양 0. 4, 8, 12, 48시간에 볏짚 건물 소화율 및 섬유소 분해 박테리아 균수 변화를 조사하였다. 섬유소 분해 박테리아 균수는 F. succinogenes. R. albus와 R. flavefaciens를 대상으로 Quantitative real-time PCR을 이용하여 16S rDNA의 copy No의 log값(Log copy No)을 측정하였다. 섬유소 분해 박테리아의 총 균수는 F. succinogenes, R. albus와 R. flavefaciens의 볏짚 표면 부착 및 배양액내 부유 박테리아의 총합으로 배양 시간에 따라 증식을 하여 24시간에서 최고 군집(29.0 Log copy No)을 형성하고, 이후 감소하였다. 이에 볏짚 소화율도 24시간까지 점점 큰 폭으로 증가하였고, 이후에는 점점 둔화되는 경향을 나타냈다. F. succinogenes, R. flavefaciens 및 R. albus는 배양 시작 즉시 볏짚 표면에 부착이 발생됨을 발견하였으며, 이때 이들의 부착 군집의 비율은 각각 34.5%, 84.4% 및 67.9%로 차지하였다. 그리고 이들 섬유소 분해 박테리아의 볏짚 부착 비율은 모든 균수가 공히 배양 4시간째부터 94.7% 이상 최고 수준에 이르렀고, 부착 균수는 균종에 따라 각각 배양 12시간 또는 24시간째에 최고 수준을 나타냈다. F. succinogenes, R. flavefaciens 및 R. albus의 최고 수준의 볏짚 표면 부착 속도는 배양 12시간에 시작되어 배양 24시간에 각각 10.33, 9.28 및 8.30 Log copy No/h/g DM에 도달하였다. 그리고 섬유소 분해 속도는 표면 부착 속도보다 좀 늦은 배양 24시간에 0.95% DM/h로 최고 정점에 도달하였다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 반추위 발효 진행 과정에서 섬유소 분해 박테리아 총균의 증식에 따라 조사료의 소화가 증가되며, 상당히 많은 섬유소 분해 박테리아들이 조사료 유입과 동시에 표면 부착이 발생하고, 이들 부착 섬유소 분해 박테리아의 활성화가 먼저 진행된 후에 섬유소 분해 활성화가 이루어져야 조사료 소화의 극대화를 가져올 수 있다는 사실을 제시하여 주었다.

본 연구에서는 초본계 바이오매스인 잔디 예지물의 혐기소화 원료 가치를 평가하기 위하여 잔디 3종 (Poa pratensis, PP; Zoysia japonica, ZJ; Agrostis stolonifera, AS)의 생화학적 메탄퍼텐셜을 측정하였으며, 사일리지 저장기간 (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180일)에 따른 잔디 예지물 (PP)의 생화학적 메탄퍼텐셜 변화를 분석하여 사일리지 저장기간이 잔디 예지물의 혐기소화에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. Parallel first-order kinetics model에 의한 생화학적 메탄퍼텐셜 (B_u-P)은 PP, ZJ, AS에서 각각 0.330, 0.297, 0.261 Nm³/kg-VS_added이었으며, PP의 잔디 예지물이 메탄생산을 위한 혐기소화 원료로서 가장 적합하였다. PP의 잔디 예지물 사일리지의 B_u-P는 저장기간 0일 0.269 Nm³/kg-VS_added에서 저장기간 180일 0.217 Nm³/kg-VS_added로 약 19% 감소하였다. 또한, 잔디 예지물 사일리지 저장기간 0일에 NDF, ADF, BP 함량은 각각 67.59, 39.68, 3.02%인 반면, 180일에는 각각 77.12, 54.65, 6.24%로 나타나 저장기간 180일에 잔디 예지물 사일리지에서 세포벽 구성 물질의 함량이 크게 증가하였다. 잔디 예지물을 효율적으로 혐기소화 하기 위해서는 사일리지 저장 방식 외에도 사일리지 제조과정에서 초기 수분함량, 효소 또는 알칼리 처리와 같은 전처리 방법, 잔류 농약에 의한 혐기소화 저해 영향 등에 관한 추가적인 연구가 요구된다.

This study aimed to evaluate effects of 800 W microwave irradiation for 2, 4 and 6 min on chemical composition, antinutritional factors, ruminal dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) degradability, and in vitro CP digestibility of canola seed (CS). Nylon bags of untreated or irradiated CS were suspended in the rumen of three bulls from 0 to 48 h. Protein subfractions of untreated and microwave irradiated CS before and after incubation in the rumen were monitored by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Microwave irradiation had no effect on chemical composition of CS (p>0.05). There was a linear decrease (p<0.001) in the phytic acid and glucosinolate contents of CS as irradiation time increased. Microwave irradiation for 2, 4 and 6 min decreased the phytic acid content of CS by 8.2, 27.6 and 48.6%, respectively. The total glucosinolate contents of CS microwave irradiated for 2, 4 and 6 min decreased by 41.5, 54.7 and 59.0% respectively, compared to untreated samples. The washout fractions of DM and CP and degradation rate of the b fraction of CP decreased linearly (p<0.001) as irradiation time increased. Microwave irradiation for 2, 4 and 6 min decreased effective degradability (ED) of CP at a ruminal outflow rate of 0.05 $h^{-1}$ by 4.7, 12.3 and 21.0%, respectively. Microwave irradiation increased linearly (p<0.001) in vitro CP digestibility of ruminally undegraded CS collected after 16 h incubation. Electrophoresis results showed that napin subunits of untreated CS disappeared completely within the zero incubation period, whereas cruciferin subunits were degraded in the middle of the incubation period (16 h incubation period). In 4 and 6 min microwave irradiated CS, napin subunits were degraded after 4 and 16 h incubation periods, respectively, and cruciferin subunits were not degraded untile 24 h of incubation. In conclusion, it seems that microwave irradiation not only protected CP of CS from ruminal degradation, but also increased in vitro digestibility of CP. Moreover, microwave irradiation was effective in reducing glucosinolate and phytic acid contents of CS.

We inoculated a spent mushroom substrate from Flammulina velutipes (SMSF) with a microbial additive and assessed the effects on chemical composition, ruminal fermentation parameters, and total-tract nutrient digestibility. In Exp. 1, three cannulated Hanwoo steers were used in an in situ trial to determine the degradation kinetics of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP). In Exp. 2, three Hanwoo steers were randomly assigned to experimental diets according to a $3{\times}3$ Latin square for a 3-week period (2 weeks for adaptation and 1 week for sample collection). Experimental diets included the control diet (3.75 kg/d formulated concentrate mixture + 1.25 kg/d rice straw), SMSF diet (3.19 kg/d formulated concentrate mixture + 1.25 kg/d rice straw + 0.56 kg/d SMSF), and inoculated SMSF (ISMSF) diet (3.19 kg/d formulated concentrate mixture + 1.25 kg/d rice straw + 0.56 kg/d ISMSF). The chemical composition of ISMSF did not differ from that of SMSF. Microbial additive inoculation decreased pH (P<0.05) and improved preservation for SMSF. The percentages of DM, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) in ISMSF were slightly lesser than those in SMSF. Ruminal fermentation characteristics and total-tract nutrient digestibility were not affected by diet. Overall, microbial additive inoculation improved preservation for SMSF and may allow improved digestion in the rumen; however, the total digestible nutrients (TDN) of SMSF and ISMSF diets were slightly lesser than the control diet. The ISMSF can be used as an alternative feedstuff to partially replace formulated concentrate feed.

Influences of urea treated corncobs (UTC) ensiled with or without different additives on ruminal characteristics, in situ digestion kinetics, nutrient digestibility and nitrogen metabolism were examined in a $5{\times}5$ Latin square design using five ruminally cannulated buffalo bulls. Five iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous diets were formulated to contain 30% dry matter (DM) from concentrate and 70% DM from 5% UTC ensiled without any additive (U) or with 5% enzose (EN), 5% acidified molasses (AM), 5% non-acidified molasses (NM) and 5% acidified water (AW), respectively. These diets were fed to buffalo bulls at 1.5% of their body weight daily. Ruminal $NH_3$-N concentration at 3 hours (h) post feeding was significantly higher in bulls fed U, NM and AW diets, however, at 6, 9 and 12 h post feeding it was significantly higher in bulls fed EN and AM diets. Ruminal total volatile fatty acids (VFA) and acetate concentrations were significantly higher with EM and AM diets compared with other diets at 3, 6, 9 and 12 h post feeding. Ruminal pH at 6 and 9 h post feeding was higher with EN and AM diets; however; it was notably lower with these diets at 3 h post feeding. Total ruminal bacterial and cellulolytic bacterial counts were higher in bulls fed EN and AM diets than in those fed the other diets. In situ ruminal DM and NDF degradabilities and total tract digestibilities were significantly higher with UTC ensiled with enzose and acidified molasses than those ensiled without any additive or other additives. Nitrogen balance was significantly higher in bulls fed EN and AM diets than those fed U, AW and NM diets. The UTC ensiled with enzose or acidified molasses resulted in better digestibility and N utilization than those ensiled without any additive, with non-acidified molasses and acidified water in buffaloes.

대체로 활성슬럿지 공법에서 가장 큰 문제점은 처리후의 미생물의 분리, 슬럿지 반송, 잉여슬럿지의 소화이다. 반면에 생물학적 고정막을 이용한 RBC, 실수여과상, 고정층활성 슬럿지 공법들은 이와같은 문제가 해소된다. 최근 침전시설 및 농축조를 설치할 필요가 없느 반고정망 활성슬럿지 공법이 개발되었다. 이 공법은 최종 처분할 슬럿지량도 감소되며, 유출수의 수질도 양호하고 최대축척용량으로 유출수의 수질은 추정할 수 있으나, 반응조가 동적인 수리학적 양상의 결여 되어있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 반응조가 좀더 동적 수리학적 양상이 되도록 설계하여 운전하였으며 그 운전결과는 다음과 같다. REMSMAS 공법은 침전시설 및 농축시설없이도 양호한 유출수를 얻을 수 있었으며 슬럿지 부착능력도 RESMAS 공법이나 FAST 공법 보다 크게 나타났으며 최대축척용량에 도달되는 한계운전기일은 대략 유기물부하량에 비례하였다.

The short and variabke transit of drug throught GI tracj and the inter-and intra-subject variations of the transit restrict the sustained drug absorption after oral adminstration. These restrictions may be solved by retaining the dosage forms in the stomach. Then the dosage form will act as a platform which releases the drug slowly and makes the GI absorption occur for a long time. In this study, as the platforms, PVP hydrogels were synthesized by chemical and y-irradiation method in the cylindrical test tube. The chemical method means the synthesis of the hydrogel by heating the mixed solution of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone [monomer], acrylated albumin [crosslinking agent], 2, 2'-agobis(2-methylpropionitrile) [initiator] and proxyphylline [drug] at $65^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr. The $\gamma$-irradiation method means the synthesis of the hydrogel by irradiation with $^{60}$ Co $\gamma$-ray of the mixed solution of the monomer, acrylated albumin, and flurbiprofen [drug] at room temperature with total 0.2 Mrad for 3 hr. Our intention is to design the hydrogel tablet (diameter : 1.20 cm, thickness : 0.60 cm) which swells in the gastric fluid after oral administration to such a size that passing through the pylorus could be inhibited during the period of drug release. After releasing drug, the hydrogel should be degraded by the enzymeatic digestion in the stomach, or by hydrolysis and eventually solubilized. Thus, in votro tests were performed to examine the factors that affect swelling and drug release from the PVP hydrogels. Experimental results show that the hydrogels swell to a size larger than the diameter of the pylorus(l.3$\pm$0.7 cm) and the hydrogel prepared by the chemical method is digested by pepsin. But the hydrogel prepared by the $\gamma$-irradiation method was not digested by the pepsin and just collapsed with time. Thus, the swelling of the hydrogel synthesized by $\gamma$-irradiation was independent albumin acrylation time and pepsin concentration. But drug content and radiation dose affected the swelling and drug release kinetics of the hydrogel. Drug release from the hydrigels was prolonged up to about 24 hr. Therefore, it was concluded that by adjusting these factors, the albumin-crosslinked PVP hydrogel synthesized by $\gamma$-irradiation method is expected to be retained in the stomach for up to 60hr and be a potential platform of drugs for long-term GI absorption.
