바이오가스화는 유기성폐기물을 안정적으로 분해하여 처리하는 과정에서 발생하는 메탄(CH₄)가스를 이용해 환경친화적인 연료를 생산하는 기술이다. 바이오가스화는 수분함량이 높은 유기성폐기물의 에너지화에 가장 많이 활용되는 방법이며, 직매립(2005) 및 해양투기(2013) 등의 금지에 따른 유기성폐기물 처리에 유용한 공법이다. 최근 국내에서 발병한 아프리카돼지열병(ASF, African Swine Fever)으로 습식사료화 재활용이 금지되고, 건조 사료화 및 퇴비화 등의 생산제품 수요처가 부정적으로 인식되면서 음식물류폐기물의 처리에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에, 음식물류폐기물의 처리 및 자원화를 위해 바이오가스화가 더욱 주목받고 있다. 우리나라 에너지소비 규모는 268.41 10⁶toe에 이르며 세계 9위 수준이다. 하지만 공급에너지의 약 95.8 %를 해외수입에 의존하고 있는 에너지 빈곤 국가이다. 따라서 국내에서는 신·재생에너지 공급의무화제도(RPS, Renewable energy portfolio standard)를 도입하고 있다. 국내의 RPS 제도는 다른 신재생에너지와 비교하여 폐기물에너지의 신·재생에너지 공급인증서(REC, Renewable energy certificate)의 가중치를 낮게 설정하고 있다. 따라서 폐자원에너지의 활성화를 위한 추가적 인센티브 제도가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 음식물류폐기물, 음폐수 및 다양한 유기성폐기물이 처리되는 혐기소화조의 운영방식을 알아보고, 일정 기간의 정밀모니터링을 통해 폐자원에너지 인센티브제도를 마련하는 기초자료로써 활용하고자 하였다. 유기성 폐기물로 바이오가스를 생산하여 발전과 중질가스로 활용하는 4개소를 대상시설로 선정하였고, 현장조사 및 시료채취를 실시하였다. 채취된 유기성폐기물의 유입물 시료와 처리공정에 따른 유출물 시료의 기초 성상분석을 수행하였다. 성상분석 결과, 소화조 유입물의 총 고형물은 평 균 12.11 %이며, 총 고형물 중 휘발성 고형물은 85.86 %로 확인되었다. BOD와 CODcr 제거율은 소화조의 유입·유출 대비 각각 60.8 %와 64.8 %로 나타났으며, 유입물의 휘발성지방산은 평균 55,716 mg/L로 나타났으며, 혐기소화 후 감소율이 평균 92.3 %로 대부분 분해되어 제거된 것을 확인할 수 있다.

본 시험에서는 왕겨, 쌀겨, 비지, 잔반을 원료로 하여 각각 26, 26, 34, 14%를 혼합하여 발효시켜 농후사료와 급여비율을 달리하여 재래산양에게 급여하였다. 시험사료는 4종으로 각 사료별 발효사료:농후사료 배합비율은 A 80 : 20, B 70 : 30, C 50 : 40 및 D 50 : 50%로 하여 처리구별로 급여하였다. 발효사료를 이용한 재래산양의 사료 섭취량, 소화율 및 질소 축적율을 조사하였으며 또한 재래산양의 증체 시험을 45일간 실시하여 재래산양 사료로서의 농산부산물 발효사료 가치를 조사하였다. 1. 본 실험사료의 화학적 성분으로는 조단백질 함량이 A, B, C 및 D구에서 각각 13.73, 13.78, 14.45, 15,14%이었으며 조지방과 조섬유 함량은 A구에서 각각 8.66 및 27.82%로 전 처리구중 가장 높았다. 2. 처리수준별 건물사료 섭취량은 362.06∼329.12g/d로서 A구(발효사료 : 배합사료, 80 : 20)와 C구(발효사료 : 배합사료, 60 :40)에서 각각 362.06 및 358.49g/d로서 B구(329.12g/d)와 D구(349.72g/d)에 비하여 유의성이 인정되었다(P<0.05). 영양소별 섭취량으로 조단백질 및 조지방은 처리구간 차이가 없었으나(P>0.05), 조섬유 섭취량은 A구가 101.47g/d로 B, C 및 D구보다 현저히 높아 유의차를 보였고(P<0.05), 조회분 섭취량도 A구가 28.51g/d로 B, C 및 D구보다 현저히 높았다(P<0.05). 3. 처리구간 건물소화율은 68.81∼53.58%수준으로 발효사료가 60%함유된 사료를 급여한 C구에서 가장 높은 경향을 보였으며, 발효사료 함유율이 80%인 A구에서 가장 낮았다 (P<0.05), 조단백질 소화율도 A구에서 59.85%로 B, C 및 B구보다 현저히 낮아 유의차가 인정되었다(P<0.05). 그러나 조지방의 소화율은 처리간 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 조섬유 소화율은 A구와 C구에서 각각 56.82%와 58.54%를 나타내어 발효사료 함유량이 높아도 조섬유 소화율이 저하하지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다. 4. 질소 섭취량은 8.47∼7.22g/d로서 C구에서 8.47g/d로 가장 높았으나 질소 축적율은 D구에서 32.78%로 가장 높게 나타났다. D구는 배합사료 급여 비율이 50%로 처리구중 조단백질 함량이 제일 높았고 분 질소 배설량이 적어 질소 축적율이 향상되었다고 P<0.05) 사료된다. 뇨 질소 배설량은 3.43∼5.91g/d로 전 처리구간 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 5. 증체 시험 결과를 보면 사료 섭취량은 752.22∼788.20g으로 처리구간 비슷하였으나, 일당 증체량은 발효사료1배합사료 비율이 50 : 50%인 D구에서 88.89g/d으로 가장 높았고, A, B, C구는 체중이 감소하거나 증체가 거의 이루어지지 않았는데, 개체별로 일부 설사에 의한 체중감소 현상이 일어났기 때문으로 사료된다. 그러나 설사를 하지 않은 정상적인 것들만 비교하여 볼 때, 증체량은 배합사료 급여 비율이 높을수록 증가하는 경향을 뚜렷이 보여 주었다(C : 71.11, D : 88.89g/d). 6. 왕겨, 쌀겨, 비지, 남은 음식물 등을 이용한 발효사료를 배합사료와 함께 혼합 비율을 달리하여 재래산양에게 급여하였을 때, 사료 섭취량과 소화율은 발효사료 60%, 배합사료 40%를 급여하였을 때 가장 높게 나타나 농산 부산물을 발효시킴으로써 기호성 및 소화율이 향상될 수 있다는 점을 시사하였다. 그러나 발효사료는 배합사료만큼은 체내 이용성이 뛰어나지 못하여 배합사료 50%로 배합사료 혼합 비율을 높인 구보다는 증체량이 떨어졌고 질소 축적율도 낮게 나타났다. 결론적으로 재래산양에서 배합사료와 함께 급여하는 발효사료의 적정 급여 비율을 50∼60% 정도로 할 때 사료의 이용 효율이 양호할 것으로 사료되나 여름철과 같은 고온 시기에는 변질리 가능성이 있어 설사를 유발할 수 있으므로 이에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

The present study investigated the optimum blending condition of protected fat, choline and yeast culture for lowering of rumen temperature. The Box Benken experimental design, a fractional factorial arrangement, and response surface methodology were employed. The optimum blending condition was determined using the rumen simulated in vitro fermentation. An additive formulated on the optimum condition contained 50% of protected fat, 25% of yeast culture, 5% of choline, 7% of organic zinc, 6.5% of cinnamon, and 6.5% of stevioside. The feed additive was supplemented at a rate of 0.1% of diet (orchard grass:concentrate, 3:7) and compared with a control which had no additive. The treatment resulted in lower volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration and biogas than the control. To investigate the effect of the optimized additive and feed energy levels on rumen and rectal temperatures, four rumen cannulated Hanwoo (Korean native beef breed) steers were in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design. Energy levels were varied to low and high by altering the ratio of forage to concentrate in diet: low energy (6:4) and high energy (4:6). The additive was added at a rate of 0.1% of the diet. The following parameters were measured; feed intake, rumen and rectal temperatures, ruminal pH and VFA concentration. This study was conducted in an environmentally controlled house with temperature set at $30^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity levels of 70%. Steers were housed individually in raised crates to facilitate collection of urine and feces. The adaptation period was for 14 days, 2 days for sampling and 7 days for resting the animals. The additive significantly reduced both rumen (p<0.01) and rectal temperatures (p<0.001) without depressed feed intake. There were interactions (p<0.01) between energy level and additive on ruminal temperature. Neither additive nor energy level had an effect on total VFA concentration. The additive however, significantly increased (p<0.01) propionate and subsequently had lower acetate:propionate (A/P) ratios than non-additive supplementation. High concentrate diets had significantly lower pH. Interactions between energy and additive were observed (p<0.01) in ammonia nitrogen production. Supplementation of diets with the additive resulted in lower rumen and rectal temperatures, hence the additive showed promise in alleviating undesirable effects of heat stress in cattle.

Objective: The hull attached to the barley kernel can be mechanically removed thus reducing the fiber content of the barley. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of partial dehulling on the nutrient digestibility as well as the digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) content of barley in pigs. Methods: Two hulled barley samples (high fiber barley [HF] and low fiber barley [LF]) with either high or low fiber contents were obtained from the Hubei and Jiangsu Provinces of China. A portion of the two barleys was mechanically dehulled (dehulled high fiber barley [DHF] and dehulled low fiber barley [DLF]). Thirty barrows (initial $BW=31.5{\pm}3.2kg$) were assigned to one of five diets in a randomized complete block design. The five diets consisted of 96.9% corn, HF, LF, DHF, or DLF supplemented with 3.1% minerals and vitamins. Each diet was fed to six barrows housed in individual metabolism crates for a 10-d acclimation period followed by a 5-day total but separate collection of feces and urine. Results: The daily loss of gross energy (GE) in feces was lower (p<0.01) for pigs fed DHF than for those fed HF. The daily N intake and fecal N loss were lowest (p<0.01) for pigs fed the corn diet. The DE and ME as well as the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of dry matter, GE, organic matter, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of DHF or DLF were higher (p<0.01) than the values in HF and LF, respectively while the values except the ATTD of NDF and ADF in DLF were higher (p<0.01) than the values in DHF and were comparable to corn. Conclusion: The DE and ME contents as well as the ATTD of nutrients in both DHF and DLF barley were improved compared with the HF and LF barley. Moreover, the nutritive value of DLF barley was comparable to the yellow-dent corn used in the study.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of levels of cottonseed meal with various carbohydrate sources in concentrate on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation and microbial protein synthesis in dairy bulls. Four, 6 months old dairy bulls were randomly assigned to receive four dietary treatments according to a $2{\times}2$ factorial arrangement in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design. Factor A was carbohydrate source; cassava chip (CC) and cassava chip+rice bran in the ratio of 3:1 (CR3:1), and factor B was cotton seed meal levels in the concentrate; 109 g CP/kg (LCM) and 328 g CP/kg (HCM) at similar overall CP levels (490 g CP/kg). Bulls received urea-lime treated rice straw ad libitum and were supplemented with 10 g of concentrate/kg BW. It was found that carbohydrate source and level of cotton seed meal did not have significant effects on ruminal pH, ammonia nitrogen concentration, microbial protein synthesis or feed intake. Animals which received CC showed significantly higher BUN concentration, ruminal propionic acid and butyric acid proportions, while dry matter, organic matter digestibility, populations of total viable bacteria and proteolytic bacteria were lower than those in the CR3:1 treatment. The concentration of total volatile fatty acids was higher in HCM than LCM treatments, while the concentration of butyric acid was higher in LCM than HCM treatments. The population of proteolytic bacteria with the LCM treatments was higher than the HCM treatments; however other bacteria groups were similar among the different levels of cotton seed meal. Bulls which received LCM had higher protein digestibility than those receiving HCM. Therefore, using high levels of cassava chip and cotton seed meal might positively impact on energy and nitrogen balance for the microbial population in the rumen of the young dairy bull.

In this study, we assess the recent changes in the amount of excretion by the livestock industry, and discuss the effects of increasing the ratio of cultivated land on the reduction of surplus nitrogen from a cost-performance perspective. Nitrogen has contributed to acidification of ecosystems and nitrate concentrations in groundwater, especially in Europe. Therefore, we assessed the level of nitrogen waste from the domestic Japanese livestock industry, including cattle, swine and poultry during the period 1987-2001. This assessment assumed that 40% of the nitrogen from the domestic livestock industry was emitted as gas into the air and that 60% of the nitrogen was contained in manure used on domestic cultivated land. Nitrogen excreted from livestock, excluding gas emission, decreased by 11% from 0.504 million tons to 0.447 million tons during 1993-2001. Thus, the peak period of nitrogen excretion from livestock is already past in Japan. However, the area of cultivated land under management also decreased during 1990-2000. In addition, the area of paddy and upland fields left unplanted for a year increased during 1990-2000. Therefore, if all manure from the domestic livestock industry had been utilized on the fields as organic fertilizer, but not on arable land left uncultivated for the past year, the nitrogen per net area of cultivated land would have increased by 5%, from 125 to 131 N kg/ha, during 1990-2000. To reduce the nitrogen ratio on cultivated land through the planting of feed grain to utilize the nitrogen, a comparison of the cost performance of feed grains indicated that barley would be more suitable than wheat, rice or soybean. Had barley been planted in 100% of the land left fallow for the past year in 2000, 4% (20,000 tons) of the nitrogen from livestock waste would have been used in the harvest, and the nitrogen per land unit would have not increased but decreased from 125 to 121 N kg/ha during the same decade. Furthermore, when converted into Total Digestible Nutrients, 7% of imported feed corn could have been replaced with the harvested barley in 2000. Planting barley on this fallow land had three benefits; reducing the risk of manure overload on the land, slowing down the decrease in cultivated land, and raising the feed self-sufficiency ratio. Thus, it would be beneficial to plant feed grain such as barley in land left fallow for the past year through utilization of manure.

Eight $12.4{\pm}0.6kg$ initial body weight crossbred barrows were used to determine the effect of soybean galactooligosaccharides on nutrient and energy digestibility, and digesta transit time. Four dietary treatments were utilized in this trial. Treatment one was a corn-soybean meal based diet (SBM) containing raffinose and stachyose at the levels of 0.16% and 0.75%, respectively. Treatment two (control) was a corn-HP300 (soybean concentrate protein) diet. In treatments three and four, 1.1% and 2.2% commercial stachyose was added to the control diet to provide total dietary stachyose at the levels of 1% and 2%, respectively. The soybean galactooligosaccharides (raffinose + stachyose) level in treatment one was slightly lower compared to that in treatment three. Three collection periods were run with two pigs for each treatment/period. There was a 4 d adjustment period followed by a 3 d collection period. The results showed that the nitrogen retention (86.79%) of pigs fed treatment two diet was higher than that of pigs fed treatment one by 5.2% (p<0.05). The nitrogen retention of treatment three was intermediate 83.09%. The apparent fecal digestibility of all amino acids in treatment two was numerically highest, followed by treatments three and four. However, there were no significant difference among groups (p>0.05). The dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), and crude fiber (CF) digestibility numerically decreased as the soybean galactooligosaccharides level increased, but were not significantly different (p>0.05). Chromium content in feces (from the inclusion of 0.3% chromic oxide in the diets) differed among treatments (p<0.05) at 15 h, 18 h, and 21 h after eating. This showed that the digesta transit time was differed significantly among treatments. Treatment four was the shortest, followed by treatment three, SBM and control. The results demonstrated that in the absence of antinutritional factors and soybean antigen protein, inclusion of 1% and 2% stachyose in corn-HP300 diet has no significant effect on the digestibility of DM, OM, CP, CF and amino acids. When the soybean galactooligosaccharide level in diet one and diet three were adjusted to be almost the same, antinutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitor and soybean antigen protein could decrease the nutrient digestibility and nitrogen retention rate of diet. High levels of soybean galactooligosaccharides shortened the digesta transit time in the intestinal tract. This trial suggested that the total level of soybean galactooligosaccharides (stachyose+raffinose) in the weanling piglet diet is better not to exceed 1% when common soybean meal is used as main protein source.

A study was conducted to predict the rumen microbial protein production based on urinary excretion of purine derivatives in buffaloes fed a diet of wheat straw and concentrate (40:60) at four fixed levels of feed intake. (95, 80, 60 and 40% of preliminary voluntary feed intake) following experimental protocol of IAEA (Phase I). The buffaloes were allocated according to a $4{\times}4$ latin square design. The urinary allantoin, uric acid, total PD excretion (mmol/d) in treatments L-95, L-80, L-60 and L-40 was 20.13, 16.00, 12.96 and 9.17; 1.88, 2.12, 2.11 and 2.15; 22.01, 18.12, 15.07 and 11.32, respectively and were significantly (p<0.05) different among treatments except for uric acid. The rate of PD excretion (mmol/d) was positively correlated with the digestible organic matter intake. Variations were observed in PD and creatinine concentration in spot samples collected at 6-hour interval. However, daily PD:Creatinine ratio (PDC index) appears to be a reasonably good predictor of microbial-N supply. The contribution of basal purine excretion to total excretion of purine derivatives (PD) was determined in pre-fasting period followed by a fasting period of 6 d (Phase II). Daily PD and creatinine excretion (mmol/kg $W^{0.75}$) during fasting averaged 0.117 and 0.456 respectively for buffaloes. The excretion rates of PD decreased significantly (p<0.01) during fasting compare to pre-fasting period, the urinary creatinine excretion remained almost similar. Except for creatinine, plasma concentration of target parameters significantly (p<0.01) declined during fasting. Likewise, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal clearance of allantoin and uric acid also decreased. Based on the PD excretion rates during fasting and at different levels of feed intake obtained in this study, a relationship between daily urinary PD excretion (Y-mmol) and microbial purine absorption (X-mmol) was developed for buffaloes as Y = 0.74X+0.117 kg $W^{0.75}$. The microbial N supply (g/kg DOMI) remained statistically similar irrespective of dietary treatment. The results showed that excretion of urinary purine derivatives is positively correlated with the levels of feed intake in Murrah buffaloes and thus, estimation of urinary purine derivatives and PDC index could be used to determine microbial nitrogen supply when there is large variation in level of feed intake.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of graded inclusions of wheat bran (0%, 9.65%, 48.25% wheat bran) and two growth stages (from 32.5 to 47.2 kg and 59.4 to 78.7 kg, respectively) on the apparent ileal digestibility (AID), apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) and hindgut fermentation of nutrients and energy in growing pigs. Six light pigs (initial body weight [BW] $32.5{\pm}2.1kg$) and six heavy pigs (initial BW $59.4{\pm}3.2kg$) were surgically prepared with a T-cannula in the distal ileum. A difference method was used to calculate the nutrient and energy digestibility of wheat bran by means of comparison with a basal diet consisting of corn-soybean meal (0% wheat bran). Two additional diets were formulated by replacing 9.65% and 48.25% wheat bran by the basal diet, respectively. Each group of pigs was allotted to a $6{\times}3$ Youden square design, and pigs were fed to three experimental diets during three 11-d periods. Hindgut fermentation values were calculated as the differences between ATTD and AID values. For the wheat bran diets, the AID and ATTD of dry matter (DM), ash, organic matter (OM), carbohydrates (CHO), gross energy (GE), and digestible energy (DE) decreased with increasing inclusion levels of wheat bran (p<0.05). While only AID of CHO and ATTD of DM, ash, OM, CHO, GE, and DE content differed (p<0.05) when considering the BW effect. For the wheat bran ingredient, there was a wider variation effect (p<0.01) on the nutrient and energy digestibility of wheat bran in 9.65% inclusion level due to the coefficient of variation (CV) of the nutrient and energy digestibility being higher at 9.65% compared to 48.25% inclusion level of wheat bran. Digestible energy content of wheat bran at 48.25% inclusion level (4.8 and 6.7 MJ/kg of DM, respectively) fermented by hindgut was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that in 9.65% wheat bran inclusion level (2.56 and 2.12 MJ/kg of DM, respectively), which was also affected (p<0.05) by two growth stages. This increase in hindgut fermentation caused the difference in ileal DE (p<0.05) to disappear at total tract level. All in all, increasing wheat bran levels in diets negatively influences the digestibility of some nutrients in pigs, while it positively affects the DE fermentation in the hindgut.

In this study, we applied a membrane distillation process to investigate a feasibility of treating a wastewater with high concentration of organic matters including nitrogen and phosphorus. The laboratory scale experiment was performed by using a hydrophobic PVDF membrane with the pore size of $0.22{\mu}m$ and porosity of 75%. The installation was direct contact type where the temperature difference between a feed and permeate side was controlled to have a range from 20 to $60^{\circ}C$. We observed a flux variation and a concentration changes of COD, $PO{_4}^{3-}$-P, $NH_4{^+}$-N and conductivity of feed side as well as permeate side with various temperature differences (20 to $60^{\circ}C$), cross flow velocities (0.09 to 0.27 m/s) through the module, and pH (6.6 to 12.0) of the feed that has the initial concentration of COD about 1,000 mg/L, total nitrogen 390 mg/L, total phosphorus 10 mg/L, conductivity of $7,000{\mu}s/cm$. The results showed that the average flux was ranged from 4 to $40L/m^2/hr$ which was almost similar with the flux of NaCl and deionized water used as a feed solution. The lowest flux was obtained at the operating condition with the temperature difference of $20^{\circ}C$ and cross flow velocity of 0.09 m/s while the highest one was measured with $60^{\circ}C$ and 0.27 m/s. Above 99% of COD and $PO{_4}^{3-}$-P in the feed could be rejected regardless of an operating condition. However, the removal rate of ammonium nitrogen was varied from 64 to 99% depending on the pH of feed solution.
