Effect on the bio-mass and nutrient yield of Lemna perpusilla Torry was studied at two nutrient loading frequencies. Six polythene sinks ($6{\times}2{\times}0.5m^{3}$ area) randomly allocated to two treatments having three sinks in each treatment. Each sink containing $6{\times}2{\times}0.35m^{3}$ water body, was changed either daily with 12.6 kg anaerobically fermented cattle manure (effluent) or with 76 kg efluent at six-day interval. Media Kjeldhal-N (40 vs. 36 mg/L; p>0.05) and $NH_3$-N (9 vs 7 mg/L; p<0.05) concentration were higher in daily charged sinks than those charged at six-day interval. However, temperature ($28.48{^{\circ}C}\;vs.\;28.60{^{\circ}C}$) and pH (6.82 vs. 6.84) were sinilar in both groups of sinks. Biomass (93 vs. $80g/m^{2}/d$) and crude protein (1.24 vs. $1.11g/m^{2}/d$) yield were non-significantly (p>0.05) higher in the daily charged than 6-d interval charged ponds. However, dry matter (4.52 vs. 4.15%), organic matter (83 vs. 84%), crude protein (31.4 va. 29.6%) and organic carbon (47 vs. 47%) content were similar in both daily and 6-d interval charged ponds. There were no apparent relationships between the crude protein content of Lemna and the media Kjeldhal-N or $NH_3$-N concentration apparently due to saturated level of nutrient (N in particular). It was concluded that with the level of effluent used for two treatments, nutrient-loading frequency had no significant effect on the biomass and protein yield of Lemna. Technique described here can be used for year-round duckweed production from fermented cattle manure for feeding poultry/fish in smallholder production system.

The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of cutting interval and cutting height on the yield and nutrient composition of hedge lucerne (Desmanthus virgatus) when grown on a sandy soil in the Northeast of Thailand. The cutting intervals compared were 30, 40 and 50 days between harvests and the cutting heights 30, 40 and 50 cm above ground level. The experiment was a $3{\times}3$ factorial layout in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications-giving a total of 36 plots each $3{\times}3m^2$. Harvested plant material was weighed, dried and the ground subsamples taken for analyses of crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), ash, ether extract (EE) and nitrogen-free extract (NFE). At the last harvest the hedge lucerne samples were separated to determine leaf to stem ratios and then analyzed for nutrient composition in the leaf and stem. Results showed that increasing the cutting interval (i.e. advancing age of maturity) increased dry matter and nutrient yields significantly. In terms of nutrient content, it also increased the crude fiber, ash, ether extract and nitrogen free extract percent in the plant. However, crude protein percent was markedly decreased as the cutting interval increased. Increasing cutting height had no effect on dry matter yield and yields of nutrients, but in terms of nutrient content, it increased crude protein and ash content, but decreased crude fiber content. The percent EE and NFE in the plant was unaffected by cutting height. From the results presented it is clear that cutting a stand of hedge lucerne every 40 to 50 days will achieve greater dry matter and nutrient yields than cutting more frequently, at 30 days. The cutting height at harvest, whether 30, 40 or 50 cm above ground level had no effect on dry matter or nutrient yields of hedge Lucerne. Hedge lucerne therefore offers the Thai poultry farmer a useful alternative protein supplement for poultry diets rather than relying on the more expensive soybean meal. As it can be readily and successfully grown on a range of soil types and climates throughout Thailand, hedge lucerne also offers the Thai farmer a valuable additional source of income.

This study was wnducte to investigate the effects of treatment level and seasons of sluny hm bovine feces on the productivity of rye, N efficiency and improvement of soil fertility under the Korean climate condition. The results obtained fiom this study summarized as follows ; 1. The highest dry matter yield of rye was obtained in the partial fertilization of sluny in spring or autumn. There is no differences of dry matter yield between spring and autumn application. 2. With increasing the amount of slurry-N, the dry matter yield of rye was signigicantly increased up to 100Kg sluny Nha. As the level of slurry-N rises above about 100Kg N/ha, the maximal yield of dry matter was unchanged or declined. 3. As the level of sluny fertilization rises, the crude protein content of rye increases significantly. However the contents of crude protein was less affected by the application seasons. 4. The amount of nitrogen which produced 6om rye is dependent upon the level of slurry-N. The highest nitrogen yield of rye was obtained by the partial fertilization of sluny-N. 5. The season or amount of slurry treatments did not affect the organic matter content in soil. N-content in soil was the lowest by the partial fertilization of slurry in spring or autumn. However, N-content was increased with the higher level of sluny-N.

Optimum stand density of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) varies with locations and climates. Stand density is one of the factors that determines herbage yield, forage quality and persistence of alfalfa. As establishment costs increase, the question arises whether present population densities are optimum for obtaining maximum herbage yield and forage quality. The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine the optimum plant density for highest herbage yield and forage quality for the dehydrated alfalfa industry under Edmontons climatic conditions in Alberta, Canada; 2) to compare herbage yield and forage quality of the cultivars 'Algonquin' and 'Vernal' grown at a range of stand densities. Alfalfa seedlings of both cultivars were either transplanted at spacings of 6, 10, 15 and 25 cm or direct seeded at the 4.5 cm plant spacings, providing population densities of 494, 278, 100, 45 and $16plants/m^2$. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with a split-plot arrangement having three replicates; the main plots consisted of two alfalfa cultivars Algonquin and Vernal, and the sub-plots were the five population densities. The cultivar Vernal had significantly higher annual yield than did the cultivar Algonquin. There was no significant effect of plant density on herbage yield. There was no difference in crude protein (CP) between the two cultivars. At the first cut, there was a significant quadratic effect of plant density on CP content and the greatest CP occurred at the 100 plants/m2 density. Crude protein was not affected by plant density at the second cut. Acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were not affected by plant density. The cultivar Algonquin usually had a lower ADF and NDF than cultivar Vernal. In conclusion, high population densities ($278plants/m^2$ or more) of alfalfa did not improve herbage yield and forage quality compared with low plant population densities ($100plants/m^2$ or less) of alfalfa.

This field experiment was carried out to determine the effects of fertilizer application time in spring on the growth, crude protein(CP) content and dry matter(DM) yield of grasses for soiling. Application times of fertilizer were March 10, 20, 30, April 9 and 19, and control (non-fertilized) plot was involved. All fertilized plots were also treated with single- and compound fertilizer. The first harvesting date for soiling was May 12, and the regrowth soiling yield was investigated on June 9, 1988. In all fertilized plots, the growth, DM yield, CP, CP yield and regrowth yield of gasses were significantly increased compared with control, and the best grass growth, DM yield, CP, CP yield and N recovery were observed on March 30 and April 9 among all fertilized plots. And there were not significant differences between singleand compound fertilizer treatment in grass growth, DM yield and CP content. On March 30 and April 9 in this experiment, the accumulated temperature was 120 and 200^{\circ}C.$ and the subsoil temperature at 10 cm depth was 8 and 10^{\circ}C.$. Considering the average meteorological condition in Suwon area, the optimum application time of spring fertilizer for soiling may be recommended from April 3 to April 10.

Objective: An initial RNA-Sequencing study revealed that UDP-galactose-4-epimerase (GALE) was one of the most promising candidates for milk protein concentration in Chinese Holstein cattle. This enzyme catalyzes the interconversion of UDP-galactose and UDP-glucose, an important step in galactose catabolism. To further validate the genetic effect of GALE on milk protein traits, genetic variations were identified, and genotypes-phenotypes associations were performed. Methods: The entire coding region and the 5'-regulatory region (5'-UTR) of GALE were re-sequenced using pooled DNA of 17 unrelated sires. Association studies for five milk production traits were performed using a mixed linear animal model with a population encompassing 1,027 Chinese Holstein cows. Results: A total of three variants in GALE were identified, including two novel variants (g.2114 A>G and g.2037 G>A) in the 5'-UTR and one previously reported variant (g.3836 G>C) in an intron. All three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with milk yield (p<0.0001), fat yield (p = 0.0006 to <0.0001), protein yield (p = 0.0232 to <0.0001) and protein percentage (p<0.0001), while no significant associations were detected between the SNPs and fat percentage. A strong linkage disequilibrium (D' = 0.96 to 1.00) was observed among all three SNPs, and a 5 Kb haplotype block involving three main haplotypes with GAG, AGC, and AGG was formed. The results of haplotype association analyses were consistent with the results of single locus association analysis (p<0.0001). The phenotypic variance ratio above 3.00% was observed for milk protein yield that was explained by SNP-g.3836G >C. Conclusion: Overall, our findings provided new insights into the polymorphic variations in bovine GALE gene and their associations with milk protein concentration. The data indicate their potential uses for marker-assisted breeding or genetic selection schemes.

목표 수량과 단백질함량을 얻기 위한 질소 수비처방을 위해서는 유수형성기 전후 생체정보의 정확한 진단뿐만 아니라 유수형성기 이후 작물의 질소 축적 및 이에 따른 수량 및 미립 단백질 함량 반응이 정량화 되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 유수분화기 생육 및 질소영양상태를 잘 대표하는 RVI green과 현재 널리 이용되고 있는 SPAD값의 유수분화기와 유수분화기 1주일전의 측정치 및 유수분화기부터 수확기까지 즉 생식생장기 지상부 질소 축적량(PNup)을 변수로 하는 수량 및 단백질함량 예측 중회귀 모델과 PNup 예측 회귀모델을 작성하여 이들의 수비 처방에의 이용 가능성을 검토하였다. 1. 유수분화기 및 유수분화기 1주일전의 RVIgreen과 SPAD값, 그리고 PNup을 이용하여 얻은 수량과 단백질함량의 중회귀모형은 어느 경우에나 모델의 결정계수($R_{2}$)가 0.9 이상으로 매우 높았다 2. 수량을 최대로 하는 생식생장기 질소흡수량(PNup)은 유수형성기 전후 RVIgreen이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 보였는데 본 연구의 유수형성기 전후 RVIgreen 범위로 보면 $9{\sim}13.5kg/10a$ 으로 추정되었다. 또한 PNup은 유수형 성기 전후 SPAD값과는 무관하게 $10{\sim}11kg/10a$ 범위로 나타났다. 3. 미립의 단백질함량을 7% 이하로 하는 유수형성기 질소흡수량은 유수형성기 전후 RVIgreen과 SPAD값이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향으로 어느 경우에나 $6{\sim}8kg/10a$로 추정되어 최대수량을 위한 생식생장기 질소흡수량 $9{\sim}13.5kg/10a$ 보다 크게 낮았다. 따라서 고품질 쌀 생산을 위한 수비 처방을 위해서는 수량보다도 단백질함량을 기준으로 하여 처방하여야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 4. 본 실험결과 수비질소의 회수율은 $53{\sim}83%$의 변이를 보였는데, 생식생장기 생육량이 많을 수록 회수율이 증가하는 경향이었으며, 수비 시용량이 증가함에 따라서 감소하였다. 생식생장기 천연질소공급량은 $3{\sim}4kg/10a$ 범위였으며 유수분화기 생육량이 많을 경우 증가하는 경향이었다 수비 질소시비량 및 유수분화기 생육 및 질소 영양 지표들을 예측변수로하는 PNup 예측모델을 작성하였으며 이 모델들은 적합도가 매우 높았다. 5. 영양생장기 생육 및 질소영양 상태의 비파괴적 측정치를 이용하여 목표 수량과 단백질함량에 달할 수 있도록 수비질소 시용량을 결정할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 여기서 제시한 모델들이 광범위한 조건에서 이용될 수 있기 위해서는 보다 다양한 품종, 토양, 기상 조건에서 모델의 검증과 보완이 되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Prolactin plays an important role in mammary gland development, milk section initiation and maintenance of lactation, so the bovine prolactin gene is considered as a potential quantitative trait locus affecting milk performance traits in dairy cattle. In this study, to determine the association between prolactin and milk performance traits, the genetic polymorphisms of a part of the prolactin gene were detected in a population of 649 cows of Chinese Holstein Dairy Cattle. Three SNPs in the promoter and one SNP in the intron1 of prolactin were identified, which was A/C (-767), G/T (-485), C/A (-247), and C/T (427), respectively. Statistical results indicated that one of SNP within promote, CHBP2, was significantly associated with milk yield (p<0.01), fat yield (p<0.05), protein yield (p<0.01), and protein percentage (p<0.05). The cows with genotype BB of CHBP2 had significantly higher milk yield (p<0.01), fat yield (p<0.05), and protein yield (p<0.01) than those of cows with genotype AA, while cows with genotype AA showed the highest protein percentage (p<0.05). In addition, based on the nine major haplotypes constructed from the four SNPs, the association analysis between diplotypes and milk performance trait was carried out. Results showed that the least square mean for fat yield of diplotype H2H8 was significantly higher than those of other eleven diplotypes (p<0.05). Our findings implied that CHBP2 and H2H8 of prolactin would be useful genetic markers in selection program on milk performance traits in Holstein Dairy Cattle.

본 시험은 맥주맥 품종들의 수량과 맥아품질에 영향하는 질소 시비반응차를 구명할 목적으로 시도되었다. 1979년부터 1980년에 걸쳐 광주시 소재 전남대학교 농과대학 시험 포장에서 실시한 두 맥주맥 품종(Golden Melon과 향맥)의 질소시비(3, 6, 9, 12 및 15kg ai/10a) 반응은 다음과 같이 나타났다. 1. 질소 시비로 인한 생육촉진 효과는 Golden Melon보다 향맥에서 더욱 뚜렷하였으며, 주효과는 분벽수 증가와 건물중 증가를 용하여 성립되는 경향이었다. 2. 출수현상은 품종 특성에 의하여 주로 결정되는 경향이었고 Golden Melon보다 향맥이 약 1주일정도 빠른 조생성을 보였다. 3. 유효경비율은 품종 특성으로서 질소 반응이 둔하였고 성숙일수는 Golden Melon보다 향맥이 약 1주일정도 길어서 만숙성을 보였으며 양품종 공히 질소 증시로 지연되있다. 4. 대부분의 수량 구성요소들은 그 변이가 품종특성으로 결정되며, 질소 증시의 효과는 혜당입수를 통하여 표현되었다(향맥은 단위면적부 수수 증가도 안정되었다). 5. 수량성은 품종 특성상으로도 향맥이 Golden Melon보다도 높고 시비 질소의 수량화 효율도 향맥이 높은 것으로 판단되었다. 6. 양조 특성의 변이는 주로 질소시비량 차이에 기인되었으며 단백질은 정상관으로, 그리고 탄수화물과 $\beta$-Amylase활성은 역상관의 방향으로 변이하였다.
