  • The purpose of this study was to improve of frozen-thawed sperm using magnetized water in Korean native cattle. Before cryopreservation, without egg-yolk Triladyl$^{(R)}$ solution was flowed though magnet [0, 2000, 4000 and 6000 Gauss(G)] for S min. The freezing of dilluted semen added with Triladyl containing 20% egg-yolk. Analysis of frozen-thawed sperm was estimated viability with SYBR14/PI double stain, membrane intact with hypoosmotic swelling test (HOST), acrosome reaction with FITC-PNA, mitochondria membrane function with Rhodamin 123 by flow- cytometry. Sperm viability was significantly higher in 4000G group than other groups (p<0.05). However, the Hypoosmotic Swelling Test(HOST) was significantly higher in fresh, 4000 and 6000G than 0 and 2000G (p<0.05). In addition, mitochondria membrane damage and acrosome damage were significantly lower in 6000G group than other groups (p<0.05). in conclusion we suggest that magnetized water could be improve ability of sperm on cryopreservation in Korean native cattle.

  • This study was performed to develop a rapid immuno-assay kit, by using a specific antigen to detect Hanwoo brand meat. We selected a synthetic antigen specific to our target antibody, named BIO-TAG (Tyr-D-Ala-Phe), by utilizing a computer-based analysis and literature review. BIO-TAG tagged with adjuvant was subcutaneously injected in sheep and Hanwoo. The serum and meat juice of the immunized or non-immunized animal were then analyzed, to measure the titer of antibody by ELISA and Western blot. The amount of antibodies against the BIO-TAG increased (p<0.05) in serum by vaccination. Furthermore, meat juice from the immunized Hanwoo showed greater (p<0.05) antibody titer, compared with those from non-immunized groups. To optimze the dilution factor, we performed dot-ELISA, with various combination levels of BIO-TAG. Results from dot-ELISA showed that 2 mg/mL BIO-TAG was sufficient to distinguish the immunized meat from non-immunized groups. These results support our hypothesis that simple immunization of Hanwoo generates a sufficient amount of antibodies to be detectable in the meat juice by means of the immune-assay. Therefore, specific Hanwoo brand meat can be more precisely identified by our rapid diagnostic kit. This technology can deter possible fraud of counterfeit meat brands in the Korean domestic market with ease and rapidity; and offers a new tool that guarantees consumers high quality Hanwoo brand beef.

  • Four Korean native cattle (KNC) breeds-Hanwoo, Chikso, Heugu, and Jeju black-are entered in the Domestic Animal Diversity Information System of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationships and population structure of these KNC breeds (n = 120) and exotic breeds (Holstein and Charolais, n = 56). Thirty microsatellite loci recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics/FAO were genotyped. These genotypes were used to determine the allele frequencies, allelic richness, heterozygosity and polymorphism information content per locus and breed. Genetic diversity was lower in Heugu and Jeju black breeds. Phylogenetic analysis, Factorial Correspondence Analysis and genetic clustering grouped each breed in its own cluster, which supported the genetic uniqueness of the KNC breeds. These results will be useful for conservation and management of KNC breeds as animal genetic resources.

  • The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of applying alum (aluminum sulfate) and aluminum chloride on pH and pathogen populations of Hanwoo manure. A total of 36 steers (8 months old and averaging 300 kg in weight) were used in this trial and allotted to 9 pens (3 replication pens per group with 4 steers per experimental unit, $5{\times}8$ m). Chemical additives were applied as a top dressing with garden rake to a depth of 1 cm of manure with wood shavings in each treatment. The chemical amendments were control (without chemical amendments), 50 g of alum and 50 g of aluminum chloride/kg of Hanwoo manure. The experiment was carried out for 4 weeks. Adding alum and aluminum chloride to Hanwoo manure reduced (P < 0.05) pH compared to untreated controls during the 4-wk period. Both levels of the alum and aluminum chloride treatments tested decreased (P < 0.05) Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica populations in Hanwoo manure at 2 and 4 weeks. It appears that the reduction in pathogen populations was primarily associated with the lower manure pH. If more strict environmental regulations are put into effect regarding pathogen populations from Hanwoo facilities, treating Hanwoo manure with alum and aluminum chloride may be a good management practice.

  • This study evaluated a sexed sperm ability to produce embryos by flow cytometer. Hanwoo bulls sperm were separated to X and Y sperm via Hoechst 33342 stained with near UV laser or performed the pre-sorted without near UV laser beam in flow cytometry. Pre-sorted sperm had significantly higher viability ($84{\pm}1.15%$, $p$<0.05) compared to other sorted groups in frozen-thawed semen. For fresh semen, pre-sorted sperm had the higher viability ($79{\pm}3%$, $p$<0.05) than those of the X and Y sperm ($44.7{\pm}1.67$ and $41.7{\pm}1.2%$) separated by differences of DNA content. On the other hand, pre-sorted and X sperm sorted according to differences in DNA content had significantly higher viabilities ($24.3{\pm}1.2$ and $25.7{\pm}0.9%$, $p$<0.05) compared to that of the sorted Y sperm ($13.7{\pm}1.2%$) in the hypoosmotic swelling test. The proportion acrosome reaction in the sorted X sperm was higher ($55.0{\pm}1.7$ and $45.0{\pm}1.5%$) than those of the sorted Y-sperm ($32.3{\pm}0.9%$, $p$<0.05). However, the sperm morphologies of the sorted groups were not significantly differences. In conclusion, the sex-sorting procedure by flow cytometry affected some characteristics of Hanwoo sperm. Further study is needed to determine the optimal procedures to enhance male and female embryos and sorting accuracy.

  • Genetic parameters of carcass weight (CWT), dressing percent (DP), cook loss (CL), eye muscle area (EMA), back fat thickness (BFT), and meat tenderness in terms of mastication (MAS), shear force (SFR) and penetration (PEN) in Korean native cattle were estimated in this study. Effects of sire, location and their interaction on these traits were also evaluated. Sire effects were found to be significant on all the traits studied except for PEN. The CWT and DP were also significantly affected both by location (p<0.01) and by interaction effect between sire${\times}$location (p<0.05). The EMA was significantly (p<0.05) affected by location but not by interaction effect between sire${\times}$location. All the traits were positively correlated ($r_g$ and $r_p$) with each other except between CL and meat tenderness (negatively correlated). Moderate to high genetic correlations between CWT and other important traits were obtained; indicating that selection for CWT would lead to improve carcass quality. Heritability estimates were 0.64, 0.52, 0.37, 0.25, 0.19 and 0.18 for MAS, SFR, CWT, PEN, DP and EMA, respectively.

  • 지방세포분화 과정에서 중추적인 역할을 한다고 보고되어지고 있는 PPAR$\gamma$ 유전자를 cloning 하기 위하여 한우 12개월 지방조직을 이용하여 Total RNA를 추출하고 RT-PCR을 수행하여 1515bp, 505 아미노산 서열을 가진 PPAR$\gamma$ 유전자를 cloning 하였다. bovine을 제외한 4종의 다른 동물과의 아미노산 서열을 비교한 결과 모두 90% 이상의 상동성을 나타내었다. 특히 NCBl에 보고된 Norwegian cattle PPAR$\gamma$ (NCBI Accession No. O18971)의 아미노산 서열과 비교한 결과 99.2%의 상동성을 나타내었으며 아미노산 서열중 81번째 이소루신, 140번째 아르기닌, 157번째 글루탐산, 486번째 리신이 각각 트레오닌, 트립토판, 글리신, 이소루신으로 치환된 상태의 아미노산 서열을 나타내었다. 특히 nuclear hormone receptor의 DNA binding domain 영역에 포함 되는 140번째, 157번째 아미노산의 치환은 앞으로 한우PPAR$\gamma$ 유전자가 조절하는 다른 유전자와의 관계를 밝히는데 매우 중요한 점이 될 것으로 사료되어진다. 한우 PPAR$\gamma$ 의 발현은 지방조직에서 매우 높은 발현을 보였으며, 한우 12개월령과 30개월령 지방조직에서의 PPAR$\gamma$ 발현을 비교 분석하였을 때 12개월령에서보다 30개월령 지방조직에서 PPAR$\gamma$ 발현이 약 6배정도 높았다. 이와 같은 결과는 한우 PPAR$\gamma$ 유전자도 사람과 생쥐에서와 같이 지방분화에 관여하고 있다는 보고와 일치하는 결과라고 사료된다.

  • 본 연구는 한우의 도체형질들에 대한 유전적 변이를 분석방법에 따라 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 한우 후대검정자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석에 이용된 도체성적 관련 자료는 가축개량사업소와 한우개량단지에서 1996 년부터 2001 년까지 태어난 후대검정우 1526두로부터 조사었다. 한우에 있어서 주요 개량형질인 육량과 육질에 영향하는 도체중, 도체율,배최장근단면적, 등지방두께, 근내지방도를 대상으로 유전력과 유전상관을 추정하였다. 유전모수 추정에 있어서 REML 분석법과 Bayesian추론방법으로써 Gibbs Sampling 분석법을 사용하였는데 각각의 모수들에 대한 Gibbs Sampler는 100,000회 실시하였고 초기 1,000회는 모수의 사후분포에 대한 부정확성으로 간주하여 모수의 사후분포특성 규명에서 제외하였다. 각각의 형질들에 대한 유전변이는 이러한 두 가지 분석방법을 상호 비교 함으로써 최적의 통계분석 방법을 모색하였다. 도체형질에 대한 유전력 추정은 REML 방법을 통한 추정에서는 근내지방도가 0.51로 고도의 유전력을 보였고, 도체율이 0.25로 중도의 유전력이 추정되었다. Gibbs Sampling 방법을통한 추정에서도 근내지방도가 0.54로 고도의 유전력을 도체율에서 0.25로 중도의 유전력을 보였다. REML 분석방법과 Gibbs Sampling 분석방법에서의 유전력은 다소 큰 차이는 보이지 않았으나, 대체로 Gibbs Sampling 방법으로 분석한 유전력 추정치가 높게 추정되었다. 그리고, 유전상관분석에서는 REML 방법을 통한 분석에서 도체중과 배최장근단면적에서 0.651 로 높은 정의 유전상관을 나타내었고, 배최장근단면적과 등지방두께에서 -0.139로 부의 유천상관을 나타내었다. Gibbs Sampling 방법에서는 도체중과 도체율, 배최장근단면적에서 각각 0.814, 0.695으로 높은 정의 상관을 나타내었고, 배최장근단면적과 등지방두께에서 -0.126으로 부의상관을 나타내었다. Gibbs Sampling방법을 통한 분석에서 특정 형질간 유전상관이 높게 나타났으며, 다소 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. REML 분석방법과 Bayesian Inference를 바탕으로 한 Gibbs Sampling 분석에서 모수 추정은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 방대한 현장정보를 활용하여 보다 정확한 모수 추정을 수행하기 위해서는 분석모형에 대한 계수행렬의 역행렬 계산을 통한 REML 방법의 한계성을 극복할 수 있는 방법으로써 Gibbs Sampling 분석 방법이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 소의 발정을 정확하게 탐지하는 것은 번식률을 향상시키는데 매우 중요하며, 현재 발정기 소의 행동 특성들을 활용한 다양한 발정탐지 기술들이 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 고유품종인 한우의 발정기 행동변화에 대한 기초자료를 수집하기 위하여 발정기 한우의 활동량, 승가행동 및 발성횟수 등에 대해 조사하였다. 총 4두의 한우 경산우를 공시하였으며, 각 개체별로 목걸이형 생체정보 수집장치(Bio-telemetry device)를 설치하였다. 발정이 확인된 날을 포함하여 발정 2일 전부터 발정 후 3일까지 총 6일간 이동거리, 승가행동 및 발성음을 비교 분석한 결과, 발정 2일 전부터 발정 1일 전까지 이동거리의 변화가 거의 없었으나, 발정이 확인된 당일부터 급격히 증가하였으며(p<0.001), 발정 후 1일 후부터는 서서히 감소하기 시작하였다. 또한 소의 활동량이 낮보다 밤 시간대에 더 활발한 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 승가행동은 발정 2일 전부터 발생빈도가 점점 증가하기 시작하여 발정 당일에 가장 높게 나타났으며(p<0.01), 전 시간대에 걸쳐서 불특정하게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 발성음의 경우 발정 당일에는 발성음 빈도가 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 유의적인 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 발정기 한우의 승가행동은 발정 2일전부터 시작해서 발정 당일에 가장 높게 나타나는 특성이 있기 때문에 활동량보다 우선적으로 발정을 예측할 수 있는 지표로써 활용 가능할 것으로 보이며, 이 두 가지 지표를 함께 활용한다면 한우의 발정탐지율을 향상시키는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다. 발정탐지율을 높이기 위해서는 한우의 발정기 행동 특성과 관련하여 더욱 다양한 정보들이 필요할 것이다.

  • In this study, the correlation between color of redness and L-carnitine content in meats was investigated using microplate enzymatic assays. The L-carnitine levels and its storage stabilities of domestic and imported livestock products in Korean markets were also studied. The results showed a high correlation (r=0.9764) between L-carnitine content and redness values of homogenized meat solution. Korean native cattle ('Hanwoo') meat showed the highest L-carnitine content ($3.64{\pm}0.14{\mu}mol/g$) in meat samples analyzed in this study. The L-carnitine level of the meats decreases during periods of storage in cold and freezing conditions, and the level of decrease was more significant at $4^{\circ}C$ than at $-20^{\circ}C$, which suggests that the storage stability of L-camitine is related to its storage temperature. This study gives reliable data about correlation between meat color of redness and L-carnitine content, and gives useful information to determine the characteristics of 'Hanwoo'.
