Commercial applications of OPU/IVP were to produce embryos and calves from high genetic cows. The aim of this present study was to compare the number of recovered oocytes and cultured In vitro produced embryos from Ovum Pick-up (OPU). OPU derived embryo production was carried out of oocytes by ultrasonographic guided follicular aspiration and then produced in vitro produced blastocysts by IVP culture system. In result, the rate of recovered oocytes was obtained 612 (57.2%) and 451(73.7) G1+G2 grade oocytes. No difference of recovered rate (51.1~62.1%) was seen in six donor. The rate of cleavage and blastocyst development were obtained 320 (70.9%) and 78 (24.4%) that was $3.3{\pm}0.4$ cleaved embryo and $0.9{\pm}0.2$ blastocysts per session. Cleavage rate of OPU oocytes in No. 6 donor was 90.6%, significantly (P<0.05) higher than that in the other donors, However, blastocysts was similar (25.8~30.0%). In conclusion, limited numbers of OPU oocytes had competent development when cultured in SOF culture medium.

Objective: This study compared fatty acid compositions and antioxidant activities of high-preference cuts (loin, tenderloin, and rib) and low-preference cuts (brisket, topside, and shank) of Hanwoo (Bos taurus coreanae) cows to obtain potentially useful information for promoting the consumption of various low-preference cuts. Methods: Individual 500 g samples of fresh beef were collected from each of the six cuts from 10 Hanwoo cows (quality grade 1) and immediately freeze-dried. The dried samples were evaluated for fatty acid composition, free radical scavenging activities (hydroxyl, alkyl, and 2, 2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl [DPPH] radical), and antioxidative enzyme activities (glutathione peroxidase [GPx], glutathione-S-transferase [GST], and superoxide dismutase [SOD]). Results: The percentages of total polyunsaturated fatty acids were significantly higher in low-preference cuts than in high-preference cuts (p<0.05). Hydroxyl, alkyl, and DPPH radical scavenging activities were significantly higher in low-preference cuts than in high-preference cuts (p<0.05). In addition, the activities of antioxidant enzymes, such as GPx, GST, and SOD, were significantly higher in low-preference cuts compared with high-preference cuts (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results may influence consumers to include more low-preference cuts in their selections based on the nutritional facts, which could help to balance the beef market in South Korea.

We aimed to determine the effect of timed artificial insemination (TAI) protocols on the pregnancy rate per insemination and pregnancy loss compared with AI performed at detected estrus in dairy cows and Korean Hanwoo cattle under heat stress. In dairy cattle, 1,250 sets of data that underwent AI during heat stress (temperature-humidity index ≥ 72) were categorized according to their TAI protocols or as controls: 1) PGF_2α-36 h-estradiol benzoate (EB)-36 h-TAI (PG-EB group, n = 113); 2) GnRH-7 days-PGF_2α-56 h-GnRH-16 h-TAI (Ovsynch group, n = 455); or 3) GnRH-6 days-Ovsynch (G6G group, n = 136). The remaining cows underwent AI at detected estrus (AIDE group, n = 546). The probability of pregnancy per AI 45 days after AI was higher (P < 0.01) in the PG-EB (odds ratio [OR]: 1.68), Ovsynch (OR: 1.48), and G6G (OR: 1.79) groups than in the AIDE group. However, the prevalence of pregnancy loss between 30 and 45 days after AI did not differ among the groups. In Hanwoo cattle, 617 sets of data inseminated artificially under heat stress were categorized into AIDE (n = 281), PG-EB (n = 194), and combined Ovsynch or G6G (n = 142) groups. The probability of pregnancy per AI 45 days after AI and the prevalence of pregnancy loss between 30 and 45 days after AI did not differ among the groups. Thus, implementation of a TAI protocol (PG-EB, Ovsynch, or G6G) in dairy cows under heat stress improves the pregnancy rate per AI versus AIDE, whereas there is no beneficial effect of TAI on the pregnancy rate of Hanwoo cattle under heat stress.

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between estrous expression, body condition score (BCS), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and number of transferable embryos for the purpose of improving reproductive performance in blood of Hanwoo donors. Sixty, at random stages of the estrous cycle, received a CIDR. Four days later, the animals were superovulated with a total of 28AU FSH (Antorin, 2AU=1 ml) administered twice daily in constant doses over 4 days. On the 3th administration of FSH, CIDR was withdrawn and 25 mg PGF2 ${\alpha}$ was administered. Cows were artificially inseminated twice after estrous detection at 12 hr intervals. The cows received 100 ${\mu}g$ GnRH at the time of 1nd insemination. Embryos were recovered 7 or 8 days after the 1st insemination. The estrous inducement rate and estrous expression rate were significantly lower for cows with BCS below 2.25 than for cows with BCS above 2.25. There was 50.0% of rate of mounting in cows with BCS below 2.25 whereas the rate of mounting was markedly increased in cows with BCS above 2.25 (94.1% and 89.5% for BCS 2.25~2.75 and BCS above 2.75 cows, respectively). Cows with BCS <2.25, 2.25~2.75 and ${\geq}$2.75 had number of transferable embryos of $4.5{\pm}0.7$, $5.9{\pm}1.8$ and $5.6{\pm}2.3$ respectively.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to determine the in situ degradation parameters and appropriate feeding level of pineapple cannery by-products (PCB) based on the growth performance and blood parameters of growing Hanwoo (Bos taurus coreanae) steers fed various levels of PCB. Methods: Two ruminally cannulated Holstein cows were used for in situ disappearance rate measurements. Nylon bags (5×10 cm, 45 ㎛ pore size) filled with 5 g of PCB in triplicate were inserted into the ventral sac of the two cannulated Holsteins cows and incubated for 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 48 h. A total of 16 castrated growing Hanwoo steers (12.5±0.5 months old, 302.9±25.7 kg of initial body weight [BW]) were used for the experiment. Animals were stratified by initial BW and then randomly assigned to one of four experimental diets (0%, 1.5%, 3.0%, or 6.0% of PCB, on the dry matter [DM] basis) fed for 91-d, including 30-d of adaptation. Results: Soluble fraction a of DM and crude protein (CP) was 61.9% and 86.0%, fraction b of DM and CP was 32.7% and 11.2%, and indigestible fraction c of DM and CP was 5.4% and 2.8%. The 6.0% PCB feeding group showed lower productivity compared to animals in the other treatments. Increasing the dietary level of PCB did not alter DM intake, but it was numerically lowest in the 6.0% feeding group. The gain to feed ratio was linearly decreased by increasing of PCB. The quadratic broken-line test estimated that 2.5% (DM basis) was the maximum feeding level of PCB in growing Hanwoo steers (y = 0.103 - 0.001×[1.245-x]2, R2 = 0.18). Conclusion: Diets containing up to 2.5% PCB can be fed to growing Hanwoo steers without adverse effects on growth performance.

본 시험은 한우암소의 유전능력과 산차에 따른 분만 전후 체중과 BCS, 생리상태와 관련된 혈중 스트레스 및 혈중 영양대사물질의 변화를 조사하여, 모축의 유전능력을 고려한 분만 전후 차별적 사양기술 개발을 위한 기초자료 확보를 위하여 수행하였다. 공시축은 모체 유전능력(포육력) 효과 판별분석을 통해 선발된 분만 예정축 45두를 공시하여 분만전 60일부터 분만후 120일까지 총 180일간 본 연구에 이용하였다. 시험구 배치는 선발된 분만 예정축 45두를 모체 유전능력에 따라 두 개의 시험 처리구를 두었다. 즉, 육종가 0.23 이상인 것을 유전능력이 높은 시험축 24두, 0.21 이하인 것을 유전능력이 낮은 시험축 21두를 배치하였으며, 선발된 공시축의 유전능력별 평균 산차는 각각 2.83±1.63과 3.00±1.77이었다. 시험결과는 공시축의 체중, 일당증체량 및 body condition score(BCS)는 유전능력에 상관없이 두 시험구간 통계적 유의차이는 없었지만, 분만 전후 일령에 의한 차이는 보였다. 한편 일당증체량과 BCS는 공시축의 산차에 의한 영향은 받지 않았지만, 체중의 경우에는 산차에 따라서 차이를 나타냈었다. 공시축의 혈중 생리적 스트레스 관련 물질인 neutrophil, hematocrit 및 cortisol의 농도와 영양대사관련 물질인 albumin, blood urea nitrogen(BUN), 및 triglyceride, non- esterified fatty acid(NEFA)는 분만 전후 일령에 따른 차이가 크게 나타났으며, 유전능력에 따른 이들 물질의 농도는 일령별로 부분적인 차이를 보였다. 산차에 따른 혈중 이들 물질의 변화는 neutrophil과 triglylceride 농도만 영향을 받았고, 나머지는 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서 한우의 모유 합성과 분만의 개시와 관련된 생리적 스트레스는 건물섭취량 감소와 영양소의 불균형 섭취로 인해 에너지원으로 이용할 체조직의 분해가 증가하므로 분만 전후 생리영양학적 특성을 고려한 유전능력별 사양관리의 차별화가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

일반적으로 다산 한우암소는 미경산 혹은 어린 한우암소에 비하여 낮은 육질을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 현재까지 다산 한우 암소 비육을 위한 사료급여방법에 대한 연구는 매우 미비하다. 본 연구는 두 개의 서로 다른 사료로 구성된 사료급여방법이 다산 한우 암소의 육생산과 육질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 대조구로는 일반 비육우사료 급여를 사용하였다. 처리구의 사료는 두 개의 서로 다른 단백질 수준으로 구성되어 있으며 14.28%의 단백질 사료는 비육초기에 급여하였으며, 12.70%의 단백질 수준은 출하 전까지 급여하였다. 대조구는 일반비육우사료(12.39% CP)를 사용하였다. 사양실험은 3개의 농장에서 수행되었다. 농장A에서는 29두의 다산 한우암소를 처리구 그리고 3두를 대조구로 공시하였다. 농장B와 농장C에서는 처리구와 대조구에 각각 8두와 3두 그리고 11두와 4두를 공시하였다. 실험사료들은 총 211일 동안 급여하였고, 처리구의 비육전기사료는 4개월간 급여하였고, 나머지는 비육후기 사료를 급여하였다. 평균일당증체량, 등지방두께, 등심면적, 도체중, 육량지수, 근내지방, 육색 및 조직감등을 분석하였다. 통계처리는 렌덤효과모형[8]을 사용하였다. 처리의 정적효과는 평균일당증체량, 등지방두께, 등심면적, 도체중 및 근내지방에서 나타났으며, 육량지수, 육색 및 조직감은 처리구의 부적효과가 나타났다. 모든 분석항목에서 통계적 유의성이 발견되지 않았는데 이것은 농장별 실험결과의 분산이 매우 컸기 때문이다. 그러나 통합적 효과에 있어 평균일당증체량, 등지방두께, 등심면적 및 도체중에 대한 90% 신뢰구간은 정적효과 방향으로 나타났으며, 나머지 분석항목의 90% 신뢰구간은 부적효과의 방향으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 다산 한우암소비육에 있어 비육전기기간의 고단백질 사료 급여는 육생산성 향상 및 육질 개선의 효과를 나타낼 수 있다.

The objective of this study was to improve the efficiency of bovine embryo transfer by transferring of Hanwoo embryos into Hanwoo or Holstein recipients. The cryopreserved or fresh in vitro produced(IVP) embryos were transferred into uterine horn contralaterally or ipsilaterally to the corpus luteum. The recipients were inseminated by artificially on the next day of estrus. The pregnancy was diagnosed by rectal palpation at 60∼90 days after transfer of the embryos. The pregnancy rate by transfer of one or two embryos was 78%(7/9) and 74%(31/42), respectively. The pregnancy rates according to the grade of corpus lutea of recipients was 75% (20/27) and 82.0%(18/22) at the grade of A and B, respectively. Ten(67.0%) of 15 Holstein recipients transferred with IVP Hanwoo embryos and 5(42.0%) of 12 Holstein recipients transferred with frozen IVP Hanwoo embryos were pregnant. The single and twin calving ratio in Hanwoos was 77.0%(10/13) and 23.0%(3.13) in the recipients transferred with IVP embryos and 64.0%(7/10) and 27.0%(3/10) in the recipients transferred with frozen IVP embryos, respectively. Twenty-four pregnant cows following transfer of IVP embryos, 21(88.0%) calved the normal calves, and 2(8.3%) aborted. When the frozen IVP embryos were transferred, 16 pregnant cows calved 14(88.0%) normal calves and 2(13.0%) aborted. In conclusion, when one or two IVP bovine embryos were transferred into recipients, the A and B grade of corpus luteum resulted in high pregnancy rates. For the production of twin calves, transfer of the IVP or frozen IVP embryos could be suitable.

This study was carried out to improve a technique of embryo transfer for twin calves production in Hanwoo cattle. Blastocysts for the donor of embryo transfer were classified into three criteria by accessment of morphology; early blastocyst, blastocyst and expanded blastocyst. Tow embryos were introduced transcervically into utrerine horn either of Hanwoo or Holstein by ipsilaterally or contralaterally to the corpus luteum. Thiry-six out of 57 recipients cows were inseminated by artificially on the next day of estrus, and followed by transfer of embryos into contralaterally. The pregnance rates of recipients following transfer of bovine embryos of day 7, 8 and 9 was 43.5, 18.2 and 8.3%, respectively. These results appeared that these was a significant (P<0.05) difference between on day-7 embryos and day-9 embryos, but not between on day-8 and day-9 embryos. Although there was not significant(P<0.05) difference in the pregnancy rates between the blastocysts(11/25, 44%) and expanded blastocysts(2/19, 10.5%) and between the blastocysts and early blastocysts(2/13, 15.4%), the embryos at blastocyst stage are more suitable than others for obtaining higher rate of pregnancy. There was no significant difference on pregnancy of the embryos transferred prior to presence(6/21, 29%) or absence (9/36, 25%) of artificial insemination. On pregnancy of Holstein, 2(15.4%) out of 13 recipients were pregnant in heifer. Similar Pregnancy rates were obtained between 1∼2 parities and 3∼4 parities by 30% (6/20) and 27.3%(3/11), respectively. Taken together, there was not significant difference in pregnancy rate due to small number of recipients used for this experiment. Both of Hanwoo and Holstein introduced the embryos by contralsterally to the corpus luteum were slightly higher pregnancy rate compare to by ipsilaterally (12/41, 29.3% vs, 3/16, 18.8%). The ratio of production of twin and single calves in Holstein was 20% (9/45) and 2.2% (1/45), respectively. However, in Hanwoo cows both of production of twin and single were similar as 8%. This result suggests that Holstein as recipients was superior to Hanwoo cows for production of twin calves. Out of all 15 pregnant, 12(80%) were produced a total of 22 normal calves in which the others composed of abnormal, as judging as 2(13.3%) for abortion and 1(6.6%) for stillbirth during the pregnant period.
