Carcass characteristics data of Hanwoo (N = 1,084) were collected from two stations of the National Livestock Institute of Animal Science (NIAS), Korea and records from thirteen individual cow-calf operators were analyzed to estimate variance and covariance components and the effect of different slaughter endpoints. Carcass traits analyzed were cold carcass weight (CWT, kg), REA (rib eye area, cm2), back fat thickness (mm) and marbling score (1-7). Four different models were examined. All models included sex and contemporary group as fixed effects and the animal's direct genetic potential and environment as random effects. The first model fitted a linear covariate of age at slaughter. The second model fitted both linear and quadratic covariates of age at slaughter. The third model fitted a linear covariate of body weight at slaughter. The fourth model fitted both linear covariates of age at slaughter and body weight at slaughter. Variance components were estimated using the REML procedure with Gibb's sampler. Heritability estimate of CWT was in the range of 0.08-0.11 depending on the model applied. Heritability estimates of BF, REA and MS were in the ranges of 0.23-0.28, 0.19-0.26, and 0.44-0.45, respectively. Genetic correlations between CWT and BF, between CWT and REA, and between CWT and MS were in the ranges of -0.33 - -0.14, 0.73-0.84, and -0.01- 0.11, respectively. Genetic correlations between REA and BF, between MS and BF and between REA and MS were in the ranges of -0.82 ~ -0.72, 0.04~0.28 and -0.08 ~ -0.02, respectively. Variance and covariance components estimated varied by model with different slaughter endpoints. Body weight endpoint was more effective for direct selection in favor of yield traits and body weight endpoints affected more of the correlated response to selection for the traits of yield and quality of edible portion of beef.

Carcass characteristics and meat quality traits as a function of endpoint months of slaughter age (26 vs 32 mon) and chiller ageing (1 vs 10 d) were evaluated for m. longissmus of 26 Hanwoo steers fed with commercial diets including whole crop barley silage. Totally twenty six Hanwoo steers for 6 mon of age that were fed until 26 mon of age constituted the short term-fed group and fed until 32 mon of age constituted long-term fed group. Carcasses were chilled for 24 h and were graded. Strip loin samples were divided into two age groups (1 d and 10 d). Long-term feeding increased carcass weight, rib-eye area, yield grade, marbling score, firmness and quality grade of the meat. The feeding for 32 mon produced tender, juicy meat (p<0.01) with lower cooking loss and higher rating score (p<0.05) than short term feeding, while other quality traits were not influenced by the length of feeding. Intramuscular fat content and oxidative stability (TBARS value) were significantly (p<0.05) higher in beef from long-term feeding however the length of feeding did not alter the fatty acid composition. Chiller aging reduced instrumental tenderness (WBSF value), improved color, sensory tenderness, acceptability and rating of beef. The results of the present study mirrors that Hanwoo steers until 32 mon of age overall improved carcass traits and palatability compared to that for 26 mon. However, from the viewpoints of economical and environmental aspects, cost of the additional feeding for 6 mon for value-adding of eating quality was relatively high and the effects in turn were limited.

도축 후 장시간 냉장한 돼지 지육(생체중량 105~110 kg, B등급)에서 목심부위를 취하여 $1^{\circ}C$에서 1, 8 및 15일 숙성한 것과, 육의 중성 온도가 70, 75 및 $80^{\circ}C$가 되도록 가열한 것에 대하여 이화학적.관능적 특성을 조사하였다. 숙성기간이 길어짐에 따라 생육의 pH와 $L^{*}$(lightness)값이 높아지고, VBN 함량과 육즙 손실량이 많아진 반면 $a^{*}$(redness)값과 전단력 값은 낮아졌다. 숙성기간이 걸어짐에 따라 가열육의 경도, 저작성 및 전단력값은 낮아지고 가열감량이 적어졌으며, 연도, 다즙성 및 맛이 좋아졌으나 가열육 향기의 차이는 없고, 탄력성과 종합적인 기호성은 숙성 8일째의 것이 가장 우수하였다. 중심온도를 높게 가열할수록 경도, 저작성 및 전단력값은 높아지고 가열감량이 많으며 연도와 다즙성이 나빠졌다. 그리고 탄력성, 가열육의 향기 및 종합적인 기호성은 중심온도가 $75^{\circ}C$ 되도록 가열한 것이 가장 우수하였다.

본 연구는 한우 거세 비육우의 고에너지 사료급여에 따른 성장단계별 발육 및 혈액성상의 변화와 도축시기에 따른 도체특성을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 한우 거세우 48두를 2처리(고에너지 및 일반배합사료 급여)와 3개의 도축시기(26, 28, 30개월령)별로 처리 당 8두를 완전임의 배치하였다. 공시축 시험개시 시 체중은 평균 149.7 kg 이었고, 출하 시 체중은 633.5 kg(26개월), 673.5 kg(28개월), 그리고 734.5 kg(30개월)으로 나타났다. 체중은 비육기간이 길어질수록 증가하였고(P < 0.05), 건물사료 섭취량은 비육전기와 후기 모두 고에너지 사료급여구에서 높게 나타났다(P < 0.05). 혈액성분 분석에서는 비육후기 26개월령에서 포도당 농도가 가장 높게 나타났고, 혈중 중성지방의 농도 또한 비육후기 26개월령 출하 시험군에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 총 단백질의 농도는 28개월령 시험군에서 가장 낮게 나타났고 30개월령에 가장 높게 나타났다. 도체조사 결과 육량특성중 도체중은 30개월령 처리구에서 높게 나타났고(P < 0.05), 육질특성중 근내지방도, 육색, 및 성숙도는 30개월령에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 특히 고에너지 사료급여구에서 육질관련 특성이 높게 나타났다(P < 0.05). 이러한 결과는 한우 거세우의 사양기간동안 사료의 TDN가를 3%로 증가한 고에너지 사료를 급여함으로서 일반시험구와 비교하여 동일 육질등급에 도달하는 기간을 감소할 수 있다는 결과를 제시하였다.
