  • 조기이유 자돈용 액상사료 지동 급이기를 개발하기 위하여 물 가열 및 배출부, 가루사료 저장 및 배출부, 혼합부, 약상사료 이송부와 이들의 각 기능을 제어하는 중앙 제어부 및 급이기로 구성 하였다. 이러헥 개발한 조기이유 자돈용 액상사료 자동급이기의 실용성을 검토하기 위해 평균 19일령에 이유한 삼원교잡종(Lw$\times$D)ㅈ돈 18두(남9,여9)를 공시하여 3주 동안 액상으로 급여한 후 3주 동안 가루사료를 무제한 급여하였다. 결과는 아래와 같다. 개발한 액상사료 자동 급이기의 물 가열 및 배출부는 혼합부에 온수를 초당 27$m\ell$, 가루사료 저장 및 배출부는 가루사료를 초당 3.7g 씩 정확하게 중앙제어부의 작동에 따라 이송하였다. 일당증체량은 NRC의 표준 성장률과 비교해 액상사료를 급여한 3주 동안 자돈들이 10%정도 낮은 수준이었으나, 그후 가루사료를 급여한 3주 동안에는 24%, 시험전기간 17% 정도 높은 수준이었다. 사료요구율은 시험개시 후 3주 동안 1.09, 그 후 3주동안 2.14, 시험전기간에는 1.89 이었다. 설사 발생은 액상사료 급여후 3일부터 7일 까지 5일동안 발생하였고, 폐사 자돈은 없었다. 새로이 개발한 액상사료 자동 급이기 시작품의 성능 검정을 위한 예비적 시험으로 19일령에 이유한 자돈에게 적용해 본결과, 액상사료 자동급이기는 어떠한 문제없이 잘 작동되었으며, 자돈들의 액상사료 급여 초기 성장은 부진하였으나 차후 성장 촉진과 사료 이용율이 개선되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 새로이 개발한 액상사료 자동 급이기를 이용한 자돈 사육이 가능할 것으로 사료 된다.

  • Objective: This study investigated whether spermine supplementation could regulate cell cycle, apoptosis, and amino acid transporter-related genes expression in the thymus and spleen of early weaned piglets. Methods: Eighty female piglets were randomly distributed to receive adequate nutrients supplemented with spermine (0.4 mmol/kg body weight/24 h) or to be provided with restricted nourishment supplemented with normal saline for 7 h or 3, 6, or 9 d in pairs. Results: Regardless of administration time, spermine supplementation significantly up-regulated cyclin A2 gene expression but down-regulated p21 and cyclin D3 mRNA levels in the thymus and spleen and reduced cyclin E2 gene expression in the thymus of piglets (p<0.05). Irrespective of the treatment period, the reduced Bax and caspase-3 gene expressions and improved Bcl-2 mRNA level were observed in the thymus and spleen of spermine-administrated piglets (p<0.05). Regardless of supplementation time, spermine intake significantly enhanced the expressions of amino acid transporter-related genes (SLC1A1, SLC1A5, SLC7A1, SLC7A7, and SLC15A1) in both thymus and spleen, as well as SLC7A9 in the spleen of piglets (p<0.05). In addition, extended spermine administration also markedly promoted cell proliferation, depressed apoptosis and modulated amino acid transport (p<0.05), and such effects were the greatest during prolonged spermine supplementation (6 d) compared to the other time periods (p<0.05). Conclusion: Spermine supplementation may regulate cell cycle during the G1/S phase, suppress apoptosis and modulate amino acid transport. A period of 6 d of spermine supplementation is required to produce the optimal effects on nutritional implications.

  • In Experiment 1, the impact of using diets sufficient in P on the performance of weaned piglet growth with or without a super dose of phytase was investigated. One hundred and twelve piglets were randomized into four treatments with 7 replicates (4 piglets·cage-1). Bodyweight (BW), daily gain (ADG), daily intake (ADFI) and feed conversion ratios (FCR) were measured over three weeks. Treatments included a positive control (PC) with a Ca : P ratio of 0.80 : 0.50%. and the negative control (NC) had a Ca : P ratio of 0.60 : 0.50%. The PC plus phytase was denoted as PC+, and the NC with the phytase diet was designated as NC+. The PC diet was formulated to meet or exceed the NRC (2012) standards for pigs weighing 7 - 25 kgs. Better results were obtained with the PC diet (p > 0.1) compared to the NC diet. The super dose of phytase in the PC+ diet significantly improved the overall FCR (p < 0.1). For Experiment 2, the impact of different calcium (Ca)/phosphorous (P) ratios with or without supplementation of vitamin D3 was determined. Ninety-six piglets were randomized into four treatments with 6 replicates (4 piglets·cage-1). The PC, NC1 and NC2 diets had ratios of 0.80 : 0.50, 0.80 : 0.45, and 0.60 : 0.45%, respectively. The fourth diet (PCV) was the PC diet fortified with vitamin D3. Improved results were observed with the PC diet (p > 0.1) compared to the NC diets. Supplementing dietary 25-OH-D3 in the PCV diet led to numerically higher ADG and ADFI scores with lower FCR values at the early nursery stage (p = 0.0044), but the vitamin supplement did not significantly influence the growth.
