This study was carried out to obtain the information on the genetic characters of Korean native fowls. The data for this study was collected from fowls located at the Gyunggi, Chunscheong, Yeongnam and Jeju area from March, 1989 to November, 1989. The morphology, genetic characters and economic traits of fowls were investigated. Followings are the major results obtained from this study. 1. The morphology and genetic characters of Korean native fowls are similar to those of brown Leghorn, 2. Colored fowls outnumbered white fowls by 402 to 38 in feather color, and wild type fowls outnumbered black fowls by 317 to 38 in feather pattern. 3. For morphology of chromosomes, chromosome size and shape of Korean native fowls were similar to those of other breeds. 4. Body weights of male was 1.2-1.6kg, and of female 1.5-1.9 kg. Hen-housed egg production was 80-120 eggs.

Pasteurella multocida, a Gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacterium, is a causative animal pathogen in porcine atrophic rhinitis and avian fowl cholera. For the development of recombinant subunit vaccine against P. multocida, we cloned and analyzed the gene for outer membrane protein H (ompH) from a native strain of Pasteurella multocida in Korea. The OmpH had significant similarity in both primary and secondary structure with those of other serotypes. The full-length, and three short fragments of ompH were expressed in E. coli and the recombinant OmpH proteins were purified, respectively. The recombinant OmpH proteins were antigenic and detectable with antisera produced by either immunization of commercial vaccine for respiratory disease or formalin-killed cell. Antibodies raised against the full-length OmpH provided strong protection against P. multocida, however, three short fragments of recombinant OmpHs, respectively, showed slightly lower protection in mice challenge. The recombinant OmpH might be a useful vaccine candidate antigen for P. multocida.

Avian adenoviruses are diverse group of pathogens and recently hydropericardium hepatitis syndrome (HHS) Is an important, emerged disease of poultry. Particularly 2-3 weeks old age broilers increased mortality ranging from 20-30% and brown native chicken 3-7 weeks sudden onset with mortality 20-50%, typically development secondary infection. The infection chicken shows liver enlarged, pale and straw- colored fluid is present in the sac surrounding the heart. Histopathological positive samples have necrotic foci and basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies in the hepatocytes and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was useful for detect the fowl adenovirus (FAV) associated with HHS.

A lysozyme is isolated and purified partially form the egg white of Korean native Ogol fowl(Natural monument No. 265) by the method of direct crystallization. The bacteriolytic activities of 1% lysozyme against Staphylococus aureus 57, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, and Escherichia coli NIHJ-JC2 was investigated with or without some other antibacterial materials in the nutrient broth culture. According to the results, 1% lysozyme showed the appreciable bacterolytic activities of about 12-16% to the almost of bacteria cultured. The synergistic effect with the lysozyme and some antibacterial materials on the growth inhibition of the bacteria cultured exhibited higher in order of the 0.001% magnolol -22%, the 0.001% honokiol -14% against S. aureus and of the 0.0005% erythromcin -29%, the honokiol -22%, the magnolol -l7%, the 0.005% phospholipase -6% against E. coli. And that synergistic effect against B. subtilis showed a fairly high level of about 52% with the erythromycin but not any effect with others.

Frozen korean traditional poultries(Manyker, Korean native fowl, Ogol fowl and Pheasant) were thawed at $5^{\circ}C$, and $20^{\circ}C$ in the air, and using a microwave oven. Effect of thawing methods on the quality of Korean poultry was investigated. The pH of the poultry muscle was lowered after thawing in all treatments. The pH of the muscle thawed by microwave oven was the lowest. The quantity of drip released after thawing was the least in a microwave thawing. The quantity of drip in Maniker and Pheasant was loss than Ogol fowl. The relationship between pH and water binding capacity showed highly significant, and the drip quantity after thawing increased as the pH decreased. Leg muscle has higher strength than breast muscle in all the Korean poultry. Shear strength of all the poultry muscle showed closely relative related to the pH. As the pH lowered, the shear strength of the muscle was also decreased.
