Eight male cattle of the Local Yellow breed with an average live weight of 121 kg and an average age of 18 months were used to evaluate the effects of different levels of sun-dried cassava (Manihot esculenta) foliage supplementation on mineral metabolism in growing cattle fed rice straw and para grass as basal diet. Rice straw ad libitum and para grass (Brachiaria mutica) at 1% DM of BW comprised the basal diet. The study was arranged as a $4{\times}4$ double Latin square design, with cassava foliage contributing 0, 0.8, 1.6 or 2.4 g CP/kg BW. The cassava foliage intake was lower than the planned levels. DM consumption was significantly affected by cassava foliage supplementation, with the largest intake observed at the two highest levels of cassava foliage supplementation. Rice straw intake showed the opposite pattern, with lower intake at higher cassava foliage supplementation. No refusals occurred for para grass in any of the treatments. Ca, P, Mg, K, S and Mn intake increased significantly with increasing intake of cassava foliage, but Na intake was not affected by treatment. Faecal excretion of Ca, Mg, S and Mn increased significantly with increasing cassava foliage intake. There were no differences between P, K and Na excretion in faeces. There was a significant diet effect on Mg, S and Mn digestibility. Mg and Mn digestibility increased with increasing cassava foliage supplementation, while S digestibility decreased. Ca, P, K and Na digestibility was not affected by diet. There was a significant effect of treatment on P retention, with the highest value observed for supplementation with 1.6 g CP/kg BW cassava foliage. Ca and Mg showed similar trends, with the highest retention again for supplementation with 1.6 g CP/kg BW cassava foliage. There were weak but significant positive correlations between nitrogen retention and the macro minerals Ca, P and Mg. Furthermore, retention of all these minerals was positively correlated. Mineral losses in urine were not affected by dietary treatment with the exception of P excretion, which was affected by treatment. In conclusion, cassava foliage is a good Ca source which compensates for the low Ca content in rice straw and para grass, but P deficiency appears to be exaggerated in cattle with higher cassava intake. The results suggest that under these conditions growing cattle on a high cassava intake would benefit from P and S supplementation.

The effects of feeding Brassica vegetable market wastes on intake, body weight changes and pesticide/insecticide residues in products of goats were evaluated in two experiments. In the first experiment (Exp. 1) 16 goats (Bach Thao, 9 to 10 kg, 3 months old, 9 males and 7 females) were fed four diets with leaves either from cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) or Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris subsp. pekinensis) with 30% of Para grass. The control group was fed 100% Para grass. All diets contained soybean waste as a supplement and the experiment lasted for 136 days. In the second experiment (Exp. 2) 24 goats (Bach Thao, 12 to 14 kg, all males) were assigned to three treatments in a completely randomised block design based on initial body weight. The goats were fed cabbage waste supplemented with 200 g or 100 g DM (dry matter) of concentrate. Para grass with 100 g DM concentrate supplementation was used as a control group. The experiment lasted for 90 days and at the end of the study, 12 goats were slaughtered for pesticide/insecticide analysis. Due to low DM content (5.3 and 3.7%, respectively) feed intakes of cabbage and Chinese cabbage groups were lower than those of other groups in the experiment. The highest feed intake and body weight gain was obtained when the goats were fed cauliflower (529 g DM/day and 87.5 g/day, respectively). In Exp. 2 total intake of cabbage and concentrate was similar (484 g and 453 g DM/day) whether the goats were fed 100 or 200 g concentrate/day but lower than that of Para grass and concentrate probably due to the low DM content of the cabbage (5.9%). Crude protein intake (79 g to 86 g/day) and body weight gain (70 g to 88 g/day) was not significantly different between treatments. Adding concentrate consequently resulted in higher DM intake than in Exp. 1 but did not result in any higher growth rate. Three of the pesticide/insecticide residues tested were found in cabbage, Alpha-Cypermethrin, Bassa-Fenobucarb and Dimethoate with levels of 0.175, 0.074 and 0.028 mg/kg fresh cabbage respectively. Weight of livers from goats fed cabbage was about 90 g higher than from goats fed Para grass but no pesticide/herbicide residues were found in meat or liver.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the beneficial effects of dietary supplementation with oil palm frond (leaf) (OPF) with and without oil palm meal (OPM) on nutrient intake and digestibility, ruminal fermentation and growth performance in goats. Methods: Six female crossbred goats were fed for 28 days of 3 diet treatments; 100% para-grass (T1); 50% para-grass + 50% OPF (T2), and 30% para-grass + 50% OPF + 20% OPM (T3). Body weight, rectal temperature, respiratory rate, and urine volume, food intake, dry matter intake and water intake were measured daily. Nutrient digestibility was determined from five consecutive days of last week in each diet. Ruminal fluid, urine and blood were collected at the end for determination of rumen protozoa and volatile fatty acid contents, urinary allantoin excretion, blood cell count and chemistry profiles. Results: Goats fed T2 and T3 showed higher dry matter and nutrients intakes while protein digestibility was suppressed compared with those for T1. Crude fat digestibility declined in T2 but maintained after adding the OPM (T3). High fat intake by giving OPF and OPM corresponded to a higher ruminal acetate/propionate ratio (C2/C3) and serum cholesterol level. An increased urinary allantoin/creatinine ratio was found in T2 and T3 compared with T1, implying an increased number of ruminal microbes. Conclusion: Increased dry matter intake in T2 and T3 suggested that oil palm by-products are partly useful as a replacement for para-grass in goats. Replacement with the by-products increased plasma cholesterol level, which suggested that these products are a useful energy source. Changes in rumen parameters suggested an increased microbial number and activity suitable for acetate production. However, the limited digestibility of protein implies that addition of high protein feeds may be recommended to increase body weight gain of goats.

Eight male cattle of Local Yellow breed with an average live weight of 121 kg and an average age of 18 months were used to evaluate the effects of different levels of sun-dried cassava foliage supplementation (Manihot esculenta) on intake, digestibility and N retention. Rice straw ad libitum and para grass (Brachiaria mutica) at 1% DM of BW comprised the basal diet. The study was arranged as a $4{\times}4$ double Latin square design, with cassava foliage contributing 0, 0.8, 1.6 or 2.4 g CP/kg BW. The cattle selected cassava leaves in preference to petioles. Petiole intake decreased from 64 to 48% of offered petioles when the cassava foliage proportion increased from the lowest to the highest level. The cattle consumed all the leaves at the two lower levels of cassava foliage inclusion and 91% at the highest level. Rice straw intake decreased significantly as the level of cassava foliage increased. Intake of DM, OM, NDF, and ADF increased significantly with increasing intake of cassava foliage. Daily DM intake per 100 kg BW increased from 2.7 to 3.2 kg with increasing cassava foliage intake. No effect on CP digestibility was detected when the level of cassava foliage increased. Digestibility of DM, OM, NDF and ADF was significantly higher in the group fed no cassava foliage than in the other groups. N retention increased from 16 to 28 g/d with the first level of cassava foliage inclusion, but levelled out at the two highest levels. N excretion increased in both faeces and urine as a response to higher intake of cassava foliage. Maximum N retention occurred when 40% of total N intake came from cassava foliage (equivalent to 1.3 g CP/kg BW).

Fenoxaprop-ethyl계 화합물의 amide 형태로 합성된 기질로써 일련의 2-(4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy)-N-phenylpropionamide 유도체들은 건답에서 발아 후 (post), 벼와 피 (Echinochloa crus-galli)에 대하여 Fenoxaprop-ethyl 보다 비교적 양호한 선택성을 나타내었으며 N-phenyl 치환체들의 선택성에 관한 구조-활성과의 관계 (SAR)를 Free-Wilson 방법과 Hansch 방법을 이용하여 정량적으로 검토하였다. 피의 제초활성에는 N-phenyl 고리상 meta-치환된 1 치환체들과 ortho, meta, para-치환된 3 치환체로서 methyl 및 methoxy 등의 치환체들이 비교적 높게 기여하였다. 또한 적정값 ($({\pi})_{opt.}=1.60$)의 소수성을 갖는 전자 밀게 (${\sigma}<0$)들의 공명효과 (R<0)가 제초활성을 개선하는데 영향을 미치고 있음을 알았다. 벼의 경우에는 para-치환된 1-치환체나 ortho, para-치환된 2-치환체로써 Taft의 입체효과 (Es)에 대한 적정값 ($(ES)_{opt.}=0.87$)을 벗어나는 전자 밀게에 의한 공명효과 (R<0)가 약해를 줄이기 위한 조건이었으며 벼와 피 사이의 선택성에 기여하는 물리-화학적인 요인이었다. 그리고 SAR식에 따라 온실 내에서 피에 대하여 가장 큰 활성을 나타내는 화합물은 2-ethoxy-3-methoxy-4-dimethylamino 치환체 ($pI_{50}$=6.60, 1g/ha)로 예상되었다.

Fluorescent pseudomonads have been isolated from halophytes, mesophytes, and xerophytes of Pakistan. Among these, eight isolates, GS-1, GS-3, GS-4, GS-6, GS-7, FS-2 (cactus), ARS-38 (cotton), and RP-4 (para grass), showed antifungal activity and were selected for detailed study. Based on biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequences, these were identified as strains of P. chlororaphis subsp. chlororaphis and aurantiaca. Secondary metabolites of these strains were analyzed by LC-MS. Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA), 2-hydroxy-phenazine, Cyclic Lipopeptide (white line-inducing principle (WLIP)), and lahorenoic acid A were detected in variable amounts in these strains. P. aurantiaca PB-St2 was used as a reference as it is known for the production of these compounds. The phzO and PCA genes were amplified to assure that production of these compounds is not an artifact. Indole acetic acid production was confirmed and quantified by HPLC. HCN and siderophore production by all strains was observed by plate assays. These strains did not solubilize phosphate, but five strains were positive for zinc solubilization. Wheat seedlings were inoculated with these strains to observe their effect on plant growth. P. aurantiaca strains PB-St2 and GS-6 and P. chlororaphis RP-4 significantly increased both root and shoot dry weights, as compared with uninoculated plants. However, P. aurantiaca strains FS-2 and ARS-38 significantly increased root and shoot dry weights, respectively. All strains except PB-St2 and ARS-38 significantly increased the root length. This is the first report of the isolation of P. aurantiaca from cotton and cactus, P. chlororaphis from para grass, WLIP and lahorenoic acid A production by P. chlororaphis, and zinc solubilization by P. chlororaphis and P. aurantiaca.

2-(4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy)-N-phenylpropionamide 유도체들의 선택적 제초활성에 관한 연구(성 등, 1999)에 근거하여 수답에서 발아 전(pre-emergence), 벼 (Oryza sativa L.)와 피 (Echinochloa crus-galli)에 대한 제초활성에 미치는 구조-활성과의 관계 (SAR)를 Free-Wilson 방법과 Hansch 방법을 이용하여 정량적으로 검토하였다. SAR 분석결과, 피에 대한 제초활성은 N-phenyl 고리상 meta-치환된 1 치환체와 ortho, para-치환된 2 치환체로서 소수성의 적정값, $({\pi})_{opt.}=1.34$을 가지는 전자 밀게에 의한 장 (F<0) 효과가 영향을 미치는 요소이었다. 벼에 대한 약해를 감소시키는 조건으로는 피의 경우와 같이 meta와 ortho, para-치환된 1- 및 2-치환체인 전자 밀게로서 적정값 $({\pi})_{opt.}=0.91$을 벗어나는 소수성 값을 가져야 한다는 조건이 벼와 피 사이의 선택성에 기여하는 물리-화학적인 요인이었다. 또한, 피의 제초활성은 건답의 경우와 비슷하였으나 벼에 대한 약해는 수답에서 매우 크게 나타남으로써 선택성을 관찰할 수가 없었다. 가수분해는 2-(4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy)propionic acid, (A) (obs. pKa=4.35 및 obs. logP=4.77)와 6-chloro-2- benzoxazol-one (B) obs. pKa=8.40 및 obs. logP=2.90)등을 생성하는 일련의 과정으로 진행되었으며 제초활성은 피보다 벼가 가수분해 생성물인 (A)를 비교적 잘 흡수하기 때문으로 짐작되었다. 그리고 SAR식에 따라 온실내에서 피에 대하여 가장 큰 활성을 나타내는 화합물은 2,6-dimethyl-4-methoxymethyl 치환체 ($pI_{50}=5.41$, 3g/ha)로 예상되었다.

N-(2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-alkyloxyphenyl)-3,4-dimethyl-2-arylthio-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-pyrrole, 유도체들은 0.1 g/ha 이하의 농도에서 발아 후(Post-emergence), 벼와 논피 (Echinochloa crus-galli)와 올챙이고랭이 (Scriptus juncoides)에 대하여 선택성을 나타내었으며 pyrrole 고리상의 $SR_{2}$-기가 변화함에 따른 구조와 제초활성과의 관계 (SAR)를 청량적으로 검토하였다. 전체적으로 $R_{1}$=propargyl-치환체 (IA), $1{\sim}12$가 $R_{1}$=2-chloro-2-propenyl-치환체 (IB), $13{\sim}16$보다 높은 제초 활성을 나타내었으며 phenyl 고리상의 위치별 제초활성은 meta > para > ortho의 순으로 meta-치환체가 양호하였다. IA의 논피에 대한 제초활성은 $SR_{2}$-기가 Es상수의 적정값 $(Es)_{opt.}=3.25$을 가질 때 가장 큰 제초활성을 보인 반면에 올챙이 고랭이의 경우에는 MR상수에 의존적이었다.

Nutrient utilization and plasma level of minerals were studied in lactating crossbred cows fed diet supplemented from different source of minerals. Twelve crossbred cows of first to third lactation during their mid stage of lactation were distributed equally under two groups and were fed concentrate mixture, green fodder (para grass) and finger millet straw as per requirement. Cows in group I were fed concentrate mixture supplemented with 1% mineral mixture whereas cows in group II were not supplemented with mineral mixture in the concentrate mixture but were offered additional quantity of green fodder (1 kg DM/cow/day) to compensate for the requirement of minerals. Balance study conducted towards the end of 120 days of feeding experiment indicated that the total dry matter intake in both the groups did not differ significantly. The cows in group II offered additional quantity of green fodder consumed significantly (p<0.05) more of green fodder (5.11 vs. 4.51 kg /animal/day) and the cows in group I consumed significantly (p<0.01) more of finger millet straw (1.71 vs. 0.92 kg/animal/day). The digestibility of major nutrients did not differ between the groups except for ether extract which was significantly (p<0.05) lower in cows fed additional green fodder. The total daily intake of P, Cu, Fe and Co did not differ significantly in both the groups whereas significantly higher intakes of Ca, Mg, Zn and Mn were observed in cows supplemented with inorganic source of minerals. However, supplementation through both the sources could meet the mineral requirement in group I and group II. The gut absorption (%) of all the minerals was comparable between the groups except for Mg which was significantly (p<0.05) higher in cows supplemented mineral mixture. The net retention of all the minerals was significantly more in the group supplemented with inorganic source of minerals. Except for P, Mg and Co the retention as percentage of total intake was comparable for all minerals in both the groups. Irrespective of source of mineral supplementation the average monthly blood plasma mineral levels (Ca, P, Mg, Cu, Zn, Fe) were within the normal range and comparable between the groups. Lower level of Cu observed at the start of the experimental feeding in both the groups increased with the advancement of supplemental feeding. The plasma Zn and Fe content in cows of both the groups did not vary. The blood plasma level of some minerals (Ca, P, Mg and Cu) was significantly higher towards the end of experimental feeding as compared to the initial values due to the reduction in milk yield with advancement of lactation or due to supplemental effect of minerals. It could be concluded that supplementation of minerals through inorganic source is better utilized in terms of retention as compared to green fodder (para grass), which is a moderate source of most nutrients.

Glycine, alanine과 aniline 유도체(誘導體)로부터 각각 새로운 N-benzoylglycylanilide 및 N-benzoylalanilide 유도체(誘導體)를 합성(合成)하였다. 이 화합물(化合物)들을 원소분석(元素分析), IR, UV, 그리고 NMR 등(等)의 기기분석(機器分析)에 의(依)하여 N-benzoylglycylanilide, N-benzoyl-glycyl-o-toluidide, N-benzoylglycyl-m-toluidide, N-benzoylglycyl-p-toluidide, N-benzoyl-L-alanylanilide, N-benzoyl-L-alanyl-p-toluidide, N-benzoyl-L-alanyl-m-toluidide, N-benzoyl-L-alanyl-p-toluidide로 각각 동정(同定)되었다. 그리고 합성화합물(合成化合物)들의 벼, 무, 녹두작물(作物)과 잔디종자(種子)에 대한 발아(發芽) 및 생육억제(生育抑制) 효과(效果)를 조사(調査)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. N-benzoyl-L-alanyl-m-toluididie는 무에 대해서 강(强)한 억제효과가 나타남을 볼 수 있었으며, 특히 N-benzoyl-L-alanylanilide는 다른 화합물(化合物)보다 잔디의 생육(生育)을 강(强)하게 억제(抑制)하는 경향(傾向)을 보였다. 대체로 glycine 유도체(誘導體)보다 alanine 유도체(誘導體)가 활성효과(活性效果)가 컸으며, 합성화합물(合成化合物)의 methyl group의 위치(位置)에 따라서 (ortho, meta 그리고 para) 식물종자(種子)의 생육(生育)에 미치는 영향(影響)이 다르게 나타났다. 즉, N-benzoylglycyl-m-toluidide 는 N-benzoylglycyl-o-toluidide와 N-benzolyl-glycyl-p-toluidide보다 식물종자(植物種子) 생육저해활성(生育저沮害活性)이 컸으며, 또한 N-benzoylglycyl-o-toluidide도 역시 N-benzoyl-glycyl-p-toluidide와 N-benzoyl-L-alanyl-m-toluidide보다 크게 나타났다.
