본 연구는 유우의 생산성 향상을 위하여 유우 사료에 fibrolytic enzyme을 첨가하여 반추위내 발효 성상과 비유중인 젖소의 생산성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 본 실험의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. In vitro 실험을 통하여 NDF 함량 수준이 다른 TMR 사료에 fibrolytic enzyme을 3가지 수준(0, 0.05, 0.1%)으로 달리하여 첨가하였을 때 나타난 NDF 소화율은 효소 첨가시 다소 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 NDF 수준별로는 NDF 38 및 43% 수준보다 NDF 34% 수준에서 NDF 소화율이 낮은 경향을 나타내었는데 이는 본 시험 사료의 조성 성분으로 보아 NDF 성분 구성상 hemicellulose 함량이 높아 이 점이 반추위내 NDF 소화율에 영향을 주었다고 사료된다. 반추위액의 pH는 fibrolytic enzyme의 첨가 수준에 의한 영향보다는 NDF 수준에 의해 영향을 더 받은 것으로 나타났으며(P<0.001) NH3-N 생성도 전체적으로 fibrolytic enzyme 첨가에 따른 효과가 나타나지 않았다. Acetic acid의 생성량은 NDF 수준에 의해 유의한 영향을 받았으나 (P<0.05) propionic acid의 생성량은 처리구간에 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. Acetic acid와 propionic acid 생성량 모두 효소 첨가에 의한 영향은 유의하게 나타나지 않았고 A/P ratio는 NDF 34% 수준의 fibrolytic enzyme 첨가구에서 무첨가구에 비해 다소 높은 경향을 나타내었다. CMCase의 효소 활성은 NDF 34 및 43% 수준에서 fibrolytic enzyme 첨가구(0.05, 0.1%)가 무첨가구에 비해 높은 효소 활성을 보였다. Xylanase의 효소 활성은 배양 개시 후 0시간대부터 12시간대까지는 효소 활성이 완만히 감소하였고 24시간 이후부터는 급격히 감소하였다. In vivo 실험을 이용하여 fibrolytic enzyme 첨가에 따른 착유우의 생산성 변화 결과는 다음과 같다. Fibrolytic enzyme 첨가에 의한 산유량은 enzyme 첨가구와 무첨가구에서 각각 25.80 및 23.90kg/d로서 enzyme 첨가구에서 약 8% (1.90kg/d) 증가하는 결과를 나타내었다. 유지방 및 유단백 함량의 경우는 fibrolytic enzyme 첨가구와 무첨가구간 차이가 없었으나 일일 생산량으로 환산하여 평가하면 enzyme 첨가시 유성분 생산량이 유의하게 증가하는 결과를 보였다 (P<0.01). 이상의 결과들로 볼 때, in vitro 실험의 경우 fibrolytic enzyme 첨가시 반추위내 발효성상에 명확한 변화를 보여주지 못했지만 enzyme 첨가에 따라 전반적으로 NDF 소화율이 다소나마 증가하는 경향을 보였다. In vivo 실험 결과를 종합하면 착유우 사료에 fibrolytic enzyme을 첨가시 유성분의 변화보다 유량의 증가 효과가 나타났으며 이는, 사료섭취량을 제한한 본 실험의 특성상, 사료섭취량 증진 효과가 아니라 체내 영양소 이용성 증진에 따르는 효과라고 판단되었다. 반추동물의 생산성 향상을 위한 방안으로서 fibrolytic enzyme 이용 효과는 연구자에 따라 다양한 결과를 나타내므로 효소의 적용 방법에 대한 연구가 더 필요하다고 사료된다.

The effects of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 and a mixture of fibrolytic enzymes on total tract digestion, in situ disappearance (ISD) and ruminal fermentation characteristics of orchardgrass hay and barley grain were investigated in a 4${\times}$4 Latin square experiment with 4 non-lactating Holstein cows and 4 diets in 4 periods. Cows were offered a total mixed ration of 50% rolled barley grain and 50% orchardgrass hay treated with either 1) water (control), 2) 0.2% (vol/wt) Tween 80, 3) 0.2% (vol/wt) hydrolytic enzyme, or 4) 0.2% hydrolytic enzyme plus 0.2% Tween 80. Total tract digestibility coefficients of DM, nitrogen, NDF and ADF were not affected (p>0.05) by dietary treatment. Compared to the control, the rate of ISD of DM from orchardgrass hay was faster (p<0.05) in cows receiving diets treated with the enzyme alone or with enzyme plus Tween 80 (0.06/h vs. 0.076 and 0.069/h). The rate of digestion was lower (p<0.05) as compared to control when barley grain was treated with these additives. Ruminal fluid pH and concentrations of total VFA, acetate, isobutyrate and butyrate were not affected (p>0.05) by treatments. Cows that consumed diets treated with enzyme plus Tween 80 had higher (p<0.05) ruminal concentrations of propionate and isovalerate, and lower (p<0.05) acetate:propionate ratios. Compared to the control, microbial protein synthesis tended (p = 0.13) to increase with the addition of enzyme to the diet while nonammonia nitrogen flow to the duodenum increased (p<0.05) with both enzyme and Tween 80 treatments. The study indicated that fibrolytic enzymes alone or in combination with Tween 80 could enhance ISD of orchardgrass hay and ruminal concentrations of propionate, valerate and iso-valerate, but do not affect total tract digestibility.

Twenty eight multiparous lactating cows were utilized in an experiment to evaluate the response to an exogenous fibrolytic enzyme on their lactational performance during early lactation period (in terms of milk production, milk composition, feed intake, milking efficiency, body weight change) and the exact time of this response. Cows were randomized into two groups (14 each) with similar parities and were fed a concentrate ration of barley, ground corn, soybean meal, and wheat bran and roughage ration of alfalfa hay. One of the two groups was supplemented with the fibrolytic enzyme immediately after parturition up to 100 post partum. The experiment was of two phases with 50 days each. The enzyme, which has a cellulase/hemicellulase activity (derived from Trichoderma group), was added to the concentrate part of the ration in a dry powder form. Milk production, 3.5% fat corrected milk, energy corrected milk were higher (p<0.05) for cows fed treated diet. At the same time, No differences were observed in percentages of milk components, feed intake, body weight, body weight change, or rectal temperature for the whole experimental period or during any of the two phases. Efficiency of milk production was higher (p<0.05) for treatment group cows than for that of the control ones. However, efficiency was better during the second phase than during the first phase. Feeding enzyme treated diets to dairy cows improved lactational performance during early 100 day of the lactation period. However, the first 50 days of lactation looked to be the critical.

The effect of the addition of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (mainly xylanase and cellulase activities, 15 ml/15 kg of fresh forage), on intake, total tract digestibility and nylon bag degradability of a chopped fresh Digitaria decumbens grass was studied at 2 stages of regrowth ( 21 and 56-day old grasses). Moreover, comparisons between ground and chopped grass were done using the nylon bag degradability method. DM intake (g/kg $BW^{0.75}$) and organic matter total tract digestibility for control and enzyme treatments respectively were 69.1 vs. 65.9 (p>0.05) and 0.723 vs. 0.727 (p>0.05) with the 21-day old regrowth. Based on the same parameters, values for the 56-day old grass were 58.1 vs. 52.7 (p>0.05) and 0.621 vs. 0.591 (p>0.05). Nylon bag degradation at 24 h of the dry matter for control versus enzyme treatments were 0.653 vs. 0.70 (p<0.05) and 0.644 vs. 0.733 (p<0.0001) for the 21-day old chopped and ground forage respectively, whereas with the 56-day old grass, corresponding values were 0.321 vs. 0.392 (p<0.0001) and 0.463 vs. 0.481 (p>0.05). The positive impact of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) on degradability of the young and ground pangola grass may suggest that in some cases, enzyme accessibility to potentially digestible cell wall is a limiting factor in their digestion.

In vitro studies were undertaken to develop an appropriate fibrolytic enzymes cocktail comprising of cellulase, xylanase and ${\beta}$-D-glucanase for maize stover with an aim to increase its nutrient utilization in sheep. Cellulase and xylanase added individually to ground maize stover at an increasing dose rates (0, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,600, 3,200, 6,400, 12,800, 25,600, 32,000, 38,400, and 44,800 IU/g DM), increased (p<0.01) the in vitro dry matter digestibility and in vitro sugar release. The doses selected for studying the combination effect of enzymes were 6,400 to 32,000 IU/g of cellulase and 12,800 to 44,800 IU/g of xylanase. At cellulase concentration of 6,400 IU/g, IVDMD % was higher (p<0.01) at higher xylanase doses (25,600 to 44,800 IU/g). While at cellulase doses (12,800 to 32,000 IU/g), IVDMD % was higher at lower xylanase doses (12,800 and 25,600 IU/g) compared to higher xylanase doses (32,000 to 44,800 IU/g). At cellulase concentration of the 6,400 to 32,000 IU/g, the amount of sugar released increased (p<0.01) with increasing levels of xylanase concentrations except for the concentration of 44,800 IU/g. No effect of ${\beta}$-D-glucanase (100 to 300 IU/g) was observed at lower cellulase-xylanase dose (cellulase-xylanase 12,800 to 12,800 IU/g). Based on the IVDMD, the enzyme combination cellulase-xylanase 12,800 to 12,800 IU/g was selected to study its effect on feed intake and rumen fermentation pattern, conducted on 12 rams (6 to 8 months; $20.34{\pm}2.369$ kg body weight) fed 50% maize stover based TMR. The total volatile fatty acids (p<0.01) and ammonia-N concentration was higher in enzyme supplemented group, while no effect was observed on dry matter intake, ruminal pH and total nitrogen concentration.

Ruminant animals develop a diverse and sophisticated microbial ecosystem for digesting fibrous feedstuffs. Plant cell walls are complex and their structures are not fully understood, but it is generally believed that the chemical properties of some plant cell wall compounds and the cross-linked three-dimensional matrix of polysaccharides, lignin and phenolic compounds limit digestion of cell wall polysaccharides by ruminal microbes. Three adaptive strategies have been identified in the ruminal ecosystem for degrading plant cell walls: production of the full slate of enzymes required to cleave the numerous bonds within cell walls; attachment and colonization of feed particles; and synergetic interactions among ruminal species. Nonetheless, digestion of fibrous feeds remains incomplete, and numerous research attempts have been made to increase this extent of digestion. Exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) have been used successfully in monogastric animal production for some time. The possibility of adapting EFE as feed additives for ruminants is under intensive study. To date, animal responses to EFE supplements have varied greatly due to differences in enzyme source, application method, and types of diets and livestock. Currently available information suggests delivery of EFE by applying them to feed offers the best chance to increase ruminal digestion. The general tendency of EFE to increase rate, but not extent, of fibre digestion indicates that the products currently on the market for ruminants may not be introducing novel enzyme activities into the rumen. Recent research suggests that cleavage of esterified linkages (e.g., acetylesterase, ferulic acid esterase) within the plant cell wall matrix may be the key to increasing the extent of cell wall digestion in the rumen. Thus, a crucial ingredient in an effective enzyme additive for ruminants may be an as yet undetermined esterase that may not be included, quantified or listed in the majority of available enzyme preparations. Identifying these pivotal enzyme(s) and using biotechnology to enhance their production is necessary for long term improvements in feed digestion using EFE. Pretreating fibrous feeds with alkali in addition to EFE also shows promise for improving the efficacy of enzyme supplements.

본 연구는 청보리와 트리티케일에 L. plantarum, L. plantarum과 L. buchneri가 혼합된 접종원을 각각 첨가한 사일리지에 섬유소 분해효소를 첨가하여 사일리지 품질, 반추위 발효 패턴 및 소화율을 조사하였다. 두 초종의 사일리지 건물함량과 조단백질 함량은 전반적으로 청보리 사일리지가 높게 조사 되었으며(p<0.01), 트리티케일 사일리지 처리구에서는 섬유소 분해효소의 첨가가 유의적으로 낮은 NDF 함량을 나타내었다(p<0.01). 청보리와 트리티케일 사일리지에서 유기산 (젖산 및 초산)의 함량은 대조구에 비해 타 처리구들이 유의적으로 높았으며(p<0.01), L. plantarum을 접종균주로 사용한 처리구에서 유의적으로 높은 젖산 함량을 나타내었다(p<0.01). 사일리지 내 lactic acid bacteria는 두 초종 모두 섬유소 분해효소를 첨가한 처리구에서 높게 나타났으며, mold 생성량은 무첨가 대조구에 비해 처리구에서 낮게 조사되었다. 반추위 발효 패턴 및 소화율의 결과에서, 반추위 내 암모니아태 질소생성량은 청보리 사일리지에 L. plantarum과 L. buchneri를 혼합하여 접종한 처리구가 유의적으로 가장 높은 생성량을 나타냈다(p<0.01). 총 가스 생성량은 처리구별 유의적 차이는 없었으나, 효소첨가에 의해 증가하였다(p=0.003). 반추위 내 건물소화율은 청보리 사일리지 처리구에서 유의적으로 높게 조사되었으며(p<0.01), 트리티케일 사일리지는 혼합균주 L. plantarum과 L. buchneri에 섬유소 분해효소의 첨가한 처리구가 타 처리구 대비 유의적으로 높은 소화율을 보였다(p<0.01). 반추위 내 초산 생성량은 L. plantarum과 L. buchneri 를 접종한 처리구와 섬유소 분해효소를 첨가한 트리티케일 처리구에서 유의적으로 높게 조사되었다(p<0.01). 또한 총 휘발성 지방산은 청보리 사일리지 처리구의 균주 및 효소를 혼합 첨가한 처리구가 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.01). 본 연구를 통해 homofermentative LAB 보다 heterofermentative LAB가 안정적인 사일리지 발효에 기여하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 반추동물의 사료효율 증대를 위한 대안으로 사용된 섬유소 분해효소를 이용한 효과는 초종에 따라 다양한 결과를 가지며, 효소의 적용에 대한 연구 및 균주와 효소의 상관관계에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of Cordyceps militaris mycelia on microbial populations and fibrolytic enzyme activities in vitro. C. militaris mycelia was added to buffered rumen fluid with final concentrations of 0.00, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30 g/L and incubation times were for 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h. At all incubation times, the supplementation of C. militaris mycelia linearly increased the number of total viable and celluloytic bacteria; maximum responses were seen with 0.25 g/L supplementation of C. militaris mycelia. The addition of C. militaris mycelia above the level of 0.20 g/L significantly (p<0.01) increased the number of total and cellulolytic bacteria compared with the control. On the other hand, the response of fungal counts to the supplementation of C. militaris mycelia showed a linear decrease; the lowest response was seen with 0.30 g/L supplementation of C. militaris mycelia. It would seem that C. militaris mycelia possess a strong negative effect on rumen fungi since the lowest level of C. militaris mycelia supplementation markedly decreased fungal counts. Carboxylmethyl cellulase activities were linearly increased by the addition of C. militaris mycelia except at 3 and 9 h incubation times. At all incubation times, the supplementation of C. militaris mycelia linearly increased the activities of xylanase and avicelase. In conclusion, the supplementation of C. militaris mycelia to the culture of mixed rumen microorganisms showed a positive effect on cellulolytic bacteria and cellulolytic enzyme activities but a negative effect on fungi.

Effects of increasing dietary rice straw on chewing activity, ruminal fermentation, and fibrolytic enzyme activity in growing goats were investigated in a $4{\times}4$ Latin Square experiment. The goats were offered four diets with an increasing proportion of rice straw (i.e. 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20, respectively, on dry matter basis). Increasing level of rice straw increased ($P_{linear\;effect}$ <0.05) the time spent on eating, ruminating, and chewing. The ruminal pH and acetate: propionate ratio were increased ($P_{linear\;effect}$ <0.05), while the $NH_3$-N concentration was decreased ($P_{linear\;effect}$ <0.01). Increasing level of rice straw in the diet increased ($P_{linear\;effect}{\leq}0.01$) molar proportion of acetate and isovalerate, and decreased ($P_{linear\;effect}$ <0.01) molar proportion of propionate. The CMCase, xylanase and cellobiase activities in the rumen were decreased ($P_{linear\;effect}$ <0.05) with increasing level of dietary rice straw, whereas the avicelase activity was increased ($P_{linear\;effect}$ <0.01). In summary, increased level of rice straw elevated the dietary neutral detergent fibre (NDF) content in the diet and had a great impact on chewing activity and ruminal fermentation.
