Objectives: Animal husbandry workers could be exposed to various work hazards including toxic gases, chemicals such as pesticides or organic dust. Immunological evaluation focusing on respiratory allergic hypersensitivity occurrence was under-taken for swine farm workers as a part of the study on immunologic status of dairy barn, swine confinement, and poultry farm workers. Materials and Methods: Peripheral bloods were collected from 25 workers at the year of 2001 and 12 workers at the year of 2012 from swine farms located at Gyeonggi province, Korea. Seven adults not involved with animal husbandry were recruited at the year of 2001 from the same residential area as the swine farm workers'. Level of plasma IgE and 20 respiratory allergen-specific IgE were evaluated using commercially available ELISA kit. Results: Plasma IgE level was approximately five-fold higher in the swine farm workers regardless of the sampling year than the control subjects. Plant allergens from outdoor environments such as golden rod, pigweed, Russian thistle, or ragweed were the major allergens with positive reaction(allergen specific IgE${\geq}$0.7 IU/mL) for the swine farm workers at 2001 year. Meanwhile, house dust mite(Dermatophagoides farinae, D. pteronyssinus) and cockroach, typical indoor allergens in Korea, were the major respiratory allergens for the swine farm workers at 2012 year. Conclusions: Overall, even though our results are primitive, the results suggest that immunological function of swine farm workers could be modulated toward type-2 reactivity.

This study was conducted to determine the serum antibodies against toxoplasma in swine from breeding-pig farm, pig farm and abattoir by latex agglutination(LA) test. LA test was carried out with commercial Toxo-MT kit (Eiken chemical co.). The results obtained were summerized as follows : 1. The cut-off titer of positive and negative reactions by Toxo-MT antigen used in this experiment was determined as the serum dilution of 1 ; 32. 2. positive rates of toxoplasma antibodies in 823 swine sera were 17.0%(140 cases) by LA test. 3. The toxoplasma antibody detection rates against 194 swine sera in breeding-pig farm, 273 swine sera in pig farm and 356 swine in abattoir were 46.9%(91 cases), 8.4%(23 cases) and 7.3% (26 cases) , respectively. 4. In LA test serum antibody titers in 823 test sera were shown as 51 cases (36.4%) in 1 : 32, 40(28.6%) in 1；64, 17(12.1%) in 1:128, 14(10.0%) in 1：256, 10(7.1%) in 1:512, 5(3.6%) in 1：1,024, and 3(2.1%) in 1 : 2,048. 5. Positive rates of toxoplasma antibodies in swine sera from each breeding-pig farm were 20.0∼61.9%.

본 연구는 HACCP 제도를 적용하고 있는 소규모, 중규모, 대규모 양돈농장의 HACCP 제도 도입 목적, 효과, 그리고 문제점 등을 비교분석하기 위한 목적으로 실시하였다. 소규모와 중규모 양돈농장은 HACCP 도입 목적의 1순위를 정부의 예산을 지원받기 위함이라고 하였으나 대규모 농장은 농장의 경쟁력 향상이라고 답하였다. HACCP 적용 효과는 소규모 농장의 경우 체계적인 농장관리를 1순위로 응답하였으나 중규모와 대규모 농장은 농장의 위생관리 수준 향상이라고 답하였다. 아울러 HACCP 적용에 따라 발생되는 가장 큰 문제점으로는 직원의 의식향상의 어려움(소규모 농장)과 HACCP 도입에 따른 기록관리(중규모, 대규모 농장)인 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해서는 양돈농장 HACCP 평가항목 수의 조정과 종업원을 대상으로 HACCP 교육을 실시할 필요성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the dispersion prediction of odor from swine farms in Korea. Gaussian Plume model used in considering of farm size, wind velocity, atmospheric stability and threshold odor unit to prediction of odor dispersion based on the survey on current state of odor emission and control from 48 site of swine farms. Farm size, wind velocity and atmospheric stability were affected the distance of odor dispersion, showed longer distance in cases of large farm, low wind velocity and stable atmospheric condition. We will suggestion the adjusted distance of odor dispersion according to farm size was estimated to 180 m in small farm and 320 m in large farm when apply the 3 OU, 5 m/s wind velocity and stable atmospheric condition.

Piglets' diarrhea is one of the major causes of economic loss in Korean swine industry. To prevent this serious and persistant problem, we have developed systemic farm evaluation and analysis program. The program consists of the checklist and the computerized program. The items of the checklist are selected on the basis of various causative factors related with the piglets' diarrhea including sanitational status, nutritional management, or farm environment. The checklist is composed of 30 items including 6 factors on facility, 8 factors on environment, 6 factors on nutrition and 10 factors on sanitation, respectively. Minimum 1 to maximum 10 points was assigned to each item depending on level or status of farm. The scores calculated by sum of points obtained from each item could find out the problems which the farm was confronted with. To investigate the applicability of a program 150 swine farms raising over 500 heads were selected from 7 provinces throughout the country and surveyed. There were significant correlations between the piglets' diarrhea and the scores of the checklist. Based on above results we revised the checklist which consisted of 22 items including 5 factors on facility, 7 factors on environment, 3 factors on nutrition and 7 factors on sanitation. After that we composed a computerized diagram out of each point of an item which showed and indicated weak factors to be improved promptly. Our present study suggested that this newly established swine farm evaluation program would be a very efficient way to find out the problems and support the systemic control program of the piglets' diarrhea for swine farms.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of implementing a Liquid Manure Circulation System (LMCS) on the environmental improvement of swine farms. Bacterial counts at different circulation phases of the LMCS were measured. Air in the swine facility and the liquid manure in each step of LMCS were sampled and gaseous composition detected in swine farms both with and without LMCS to compare the environmental conditions in either case. There were no differences in the total bacteria count at any circulation phase in the LMCS. Escherichia coli were detected at a very low abundance only at the outlet of the slurry pit ($1.5{\times}10^2CFU/m{\ell}$). Salmonella were not detected at any phase. The LMCS clearly affected the odor strength of the swine farm and improved the air quality in the swine facility. On-site odor strength - inside, at the exhaust, and at the border of the swine facility - were clearly lowered in farms applying LMCS. Furthermore, the levels of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide were improved in swine facilities applying LMCS.

본 연구는 HACCP 제도를 적용하고 있는 소규모, 중규모, 대규모 양돈농장의 HACCP 제도 적용 전과 후의 폐사율을 비교분석하기 위한 목적으로 실시하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 전국에 산재한 60개의 양돈농장(소규모, 중규모, 대규모 양돈농장 각각 20개)을 선별하였다. 선별된 양돈농장의 평균 사육두수는 소규모 1,429.72두, 중규모 양돈농장은 3,392.95두 그리고 대규모 양돈농장은 1,034.60두로 조사되었다. 폐사 원인 구분은 호흡기로 인한 폐사, 설사로 인한 폐사, 유산 및 사산으로 인한 폐사, 사고로 인한 폐사 그리고 기타 폐사로 구분하여 분류하였다. 소규모 농장의 평균 폐사두수는 HACCP 적용 전 373.25두로 조사되었으나 HACCP 적용 후에는 334.49두로 통계적 유의성 없이 감소하였다. 중규모 농장은 HACCP 적용 전에 평균 615.09두가 폐사하였으나 HACCP 적용 후에는 558.09두로 유의적으로 감소하였다. 또한 대규모 양돈농장도 HACCP 적용 전에는 평균 폐사두수가 887.17두에서 HACCP 적용 후에는 696.56두로 21.60%가 감소한 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 결과는 HACCP 제도 중 선행요건프로그램에 해당되는 농장방역, 소독, 사육환경관리, 체계적인 시설 및 위생관리, 질병관리 등으로 인하여 나타나는 효과인 것으로 판단된다.

Researchers have different views on impact of information system use on productivity. The differences are fueled by 'the productivity paradox' insisted by Brynjofsson(1993). This paper intend to quantitate impacts of information system and to test the productivity paradox of using the information system. Restricted Maximumlikelihood Estimation(RMLE) method is applied on data from 81 farms adopting Pigplan system. The results find positive productivity improvement with information systems in swine farm. Adopting Pigplan system increases 0.52 in PSY(pigs per sow per year) and 0.087 in sow turnover. When it comes to region and farm size, region has impact on both PSY and sow turnover, while farm size does not. This result infers that local cooperatives, regardless of farm size, differentiate the impacts of the information system, implying that the ability to utilize information systems should be improved in organizational level.
