Improved efficiency in the use of natural resources, pragmatic production systems and environmental sustainability, justified by the need for improved land use systems and increased productivity, are discussed in the context of Asian integrated systems, diversification, and issues of sustainability. The importance of these are reflected by serious inadequate animal protein production throughout Asia, where available supplies cannot match current and projected human requirements up to 2050. Among the ruminant production systems, integrated tree crops-ruminant production systems are grossly underestimated and merit emphasis and expansion. As an example, integrated oil palm- based system is an important pathway for integration with ruminants (buffaloes, cattle, goats and sheep), and provides the entry point for development. The importance and benefits of integrated systems are discussed, involving animals with annual and perennial tree crops, integration with aquaculture, the significance of crop-animal interactions, stratification of the systems, production options, improved use of forages and legumes, potential for enhanced productivity, implications for improved livelihoods of the rural poor and the stability of farm households. The advances in research and development in South East Asia highlight demonstrable increased productivity from animals and meat offtakes, value addition to the oil palm crop, sustainable development, and distinct economic impacts. The results from 12 out of a total of 24 case studies concerning oil palm over the past three decades showed increased yield of 0.49-3.52 mt of fresh fruit bunches (FFB)/ha/yr; increased income by about 30%; savings in weeding costs by 47- 60% equivalent to 21-62 RM/ha/yr; and an internal rate of return of 19% based on actual field data. The results provide important socio-economic benefits for resource-poor small farmers. Potential increased offtakes and additional income exist with the integration of goats. Additionally, the potential for carbon sequestration with tree crops is an advantage. The reasons for low adoption of the syatems are poor awareness of the potential of integrated systems, resistance by the crop- oriented plantation sector, and inadequate technology application. Promoting wider expansion and adoption of the systems in the future is linked directly with coherent policy, institutional commitment, increased investments, private sector involvement, and a stimulus package of incentives.

Majority of livestocks are kept in the tropics. Demand for animal products (meat and milk) is continuously increasing and is related to human population growth. Consequently, potential feeds should be continuously identified particularly on their nutritive values. Crop residues and agricultural by-products are the main feed sources for feeding livestock in the tropics. Their nutritive values ranging from low to medium quality level although Some agricultural by-products such as cotton seed meal and coconut meal are rich in nitrogaen contents. From literatures, nutritive values in these ingredients are mainly based on their chemical composition and to some extent based on limited number of in vivo studies. However, optimum of inclusion in the diet is suggested. Development of tree legumes should be thoroughly considered since they grow well in most tropical regions. In order to improve nutritive value of tropical feeds, biological treatments should be considered. Effect of secondary compounds decreasing efficiency of nutrient utilization in the rumen, to some extent could be reduced by introducing probiotics.

The ruminal solubility of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), and zinc (Zn) in eight Philippine forages was studied. These forages were: 1) grasses: paragrass (Brachiaria mutica (Forsk.) Stapf), stargrass (Cynodon plectostachyum Pilger), and napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.); 2) creeping legumes: calopogonium or calopo (Calopogonium muconoides Desv.) and centrocema (Centrocema pubescens Benth.); 3) tree lequmes: gliricidia or kakawate (Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp.), leucaena or ipil-ipil (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit.), and sesbania or katuray (Sesbania grandiflora (L.) Poir). Nylon bags with samples were incubated for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72h in three rumen cannulated sheep fed with timothy hay (Phleum pratense L.) at 2% body weight/d. The 0-h bags were washed with deionized water. There were species differences (p < 0.05) on the different solubilities of trace elements. At O-h incubation, the trend of solubility was Mo (54%) > Zn (43%) > Cu (38.7%) > Mn (29.5%). At 3-h incubation, all the elements except Mn had an average solubility above 50%. Combining particulate passage rate (1.9%/h) and various trace elements disappearance rates, the effective ruminal solubilization (ERS) of trace elements were computed. The ERS across species ranged from 44.6 to 89.9% for Cu, 29.9 to 84% for Mn, 66 to 95.1% for Mo, and 30.1 to 82.3% for Zn resulting to a trend of Mo > Zn > Cu > Mn.

Availability of feeds and fodder and amount of their intake by large ruminants in eight different agro-ecological zones (AEZ) of Bangladesh were recorded over a year. Roughages such as straw, naturally grown green grass, water hyacinth, tree leaves, legumes and sugarcane tops were the major feedstuffs fed to the large ruminants. Amount of intake of these ingredients differed (p<0.01) across AEZ studied, but did not differ across seasons or farmers' categories (p>0.05) except for green grasses (p<0.01). Byproduct concentrates offered to animals in the studied areas were rice bran, wheat bran and different oil cakes. The amount of intake of concentrates by the animals also differed (p<0.01) across AEZs, but did not differ across seasons or farmers' categories (p>0.05), except for rice bran and wheat bran which differed between season and farm category, and season respectively (p<0.01). The large standard errors of mean indicate that there are wide variations in intake of roughages and concentrates across AEZ's, seasons and farmers' categories and even across days. This further indicates that the feeding practices of large ruminants are largely heterogeneous. In addition to feeding roughage and concentrates, the animals were allowed to graze for six hours a day. Grazing hours also differed (p<0.01) across AEZ, but not by farmers' categories or seasons.

Browse tree legume leaves from Acacia spp (A. nilotica, A. tortilis, A. polyacantha), Dichrostachys sp, Flagea villosa, Piliostigma thonningii, Harrisonia sp were evaluated for nutritive potential (chemical compositions and degradability characteristics) compared to Gliricidia sepium. Effect of tannins anti-nutritive activity on digestibility was also assessed by polyethylene glycol (PEG) tannin bioassay. Crude protein (CP), ash, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL) differed (p<0.05) between legume foliages. Mean CP, ash, NDF, ADF and ADL for fodder species tested were 158, 92, 385, 145, and 100 g/kg DM, respectively. CP ranged from 115 (P. thonningii) to 205 g/kg DM (G. sepium). Acacia spp had moderate CP values (g/kg DM) of 144 (A. nilotica), to high CP in A. tortilis (188) and A. polyacantha (194) comparable to G. sepium. The forages had relatively lower fiber compositions. A. nilotica had (p<0.05) lowest NDF, ADF and ADL (182, 68 and 44) compared to P. thonningii (619, 196 and 130) g/kg DM, respectively. Except G. sepium, all fodder species had detectable high phenolic and tannin contents greater than 5% DM, an upper beneficial level in animal feeding and nutrition. Mean total phenolics (TP), total tannins (TT) and condensed tannins (CT) (or proanthocyanidins) for fodder species tested were 139, 113 and 43 mg/g DM, respectively. F. villosa had (p<0.05) lowest TP and TT of 65 and 56 mg/g DM, respectively, compared to A. nilotica (237 and 236 mg/g DM, respectively). The CT varied (p<0.05) from 6 (F. villosa) to 74 mg/g DM (Dichrostachys sp). In vitro organic matter (OM) degradability (OMD) differed (p<0.05) between fodder species. G. sepium had (p<0.05) high degradability potential compared to A. polyacantha that had (p<0.05) the lowest OMD values. Forage degradability ranked: G. sepium>A. nilotica>P. thonningi>F. villosa>Dichrostachys sp>A. tortilis>A. polyacantha. Addition of PEG resulted to (p<0.05) improvement in in vitro OM digestibility (IVD). Increase in IVD was mainly due to binding action of PEG on tannins; and represents potential nutritive values previously depressed by tannins anti-nutritive activity. Browse fodder has potential as sources of ruminal nitrogen especially for ruminants consuming low quality roughages due to high protein, lower fiber compositions and high potential digestibility. However, utilization of browse supplements in ruminants is hampered by high phenolic and tannin contents. Deactivation of tannin anti-nutritive activity, possibly by feeding tanniniferous browse with other readily available nitrogen sources to dilute tannin anti-nutritive activity could improve utilization of browse fodder supplements. Further studies are needed to assess browse fodder palatability and intake, and their effect on growth performance in ruminants.

Objectives: We examined the common allergenic foods, symptoms and management of food allergies in children attending the facilities registered at Center for Children's Foodservice Management in Gangdong-gu, Korea. Methods: The survey was conducted among the directors or head teachers of 186 children's food service facilities with 7,591 children in 2019. The questionnaire consisted of three parts, including general information about food service facilities, information related to food allergies and allergenic foods and symptoms in individual children. Results: The number of children with food allergy was 271 (3.6%), and the proportion decreased with the increase of age. There were 91 children (33.6%) with a medical certificate, and these children had a significantly higher number of allergenic foods and symptoms than those without a medical certificate. Allergenic food groups included meat, fish, eggs and legumes (59.1%), fruits (12.4%), milk and dairy products (8.9%), cereals (7.8%), vegetables (6.2%), processed foods (3.8%) and oils and sugars (1.9%). Eggs accounted for 22.1%, followed by peanut and tree nuts (18.6%), fruits (12.4%), milk and dairy products (8.9%), shellfish (8.6%), vegetables (6.2%), fish (5.7%), cereals (4.3%) and meat (1.1%). The common allergenic foods were eggs, peanuts, walnuts, kiwi, shrimp, milk, tomatoes, mackerel, blue-green fish, peaches, shellfish (clams and abalone), buckwheat, wheat and soybeans. The most common allergic symptoms were skin and mucous membrane symptoms, such as hives, rash, itching and oral angioedema. Meal management for children with food allergies showed different trends depending on the causative food. Conclusions: The objective diagnosis by an allergist should be done for food allergy management in children's catering facilities. A system for systematic meal management of causative foods should be prepared.

This study investigated the relationship among seven species of trichoderma through the identification of strains collected in Korea. The phylogenetic tree among the collected strains was classified into four groups. The trichoderma strains isolated in this way showed inhibitory effect on the fusarium wilt which is parasitic to cotyledon stem..The invisibility of J9, J10, J13 and J16 strains were higher in comparison with other strains in vitro test stand, and their spore production level was also higher. In the aluminum ring tests, it showed that the yield of the spores in J9, J10 and J13 were more than any other strain. As a result conducting the port test for cucumbers, the plant lengths of J13 were larger than the control plot, and the root lengths of all strains, except for J2 were longer than the control plot, and the root weights of J1, J9, J10, J13 and J16 were larger than the control plot. The disease severity for the fusarium wilt showed the smallest values at J13 and J16 in comparison with the control plot, and the control values of J13 and J16 were higher than other strains.

낙엽(落葉)퇴적물의 종류(種類)가 겉뿌린 초종(草種)의 발아(發芽), 정착(定着), 목초율(牧草率) 및 수량(收量)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 구명(究明)코저 리기다 소나무, 굴참나무, 물오리나무 및 일본잎갈나무의 낙엽(落葉)을 공시(供試)하여 시험(試驗)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. Petri dish 내(內)에서의 발아율(發芽率)은 낙엽종류(落葉種類) 및 초종(草種)에 따라 영향을 받았고, 특히 소나무 낙엽(落葉)침출액은 ladino clover와 timothy 같은 소립종(小粒種)의 발아(發芽)를 억제하였다. 2. Pot내(內)에서의 정착율(定着率)은 ladino clover와 timothy가 소나무 침출액(浸出液)에 의해 약간 감소되었을 뿐 기타 초종간(草種間)에는 상대적으로 감소 경향은 없었다. 3. 소립종(小粒種)인 ladino clover와 timothy 및 무거운 red clover는 낙엽간극내(落葉間隙內)에 종자(種子)가 쉽게 침투되어 정착율(定着率)이 높았다. 4. 일본잎갈나무의 퇴적층에서 모든 초종(草種)의 정착율(定着率)은 심하게 감소되었는데 이것은 수분(水分) 보존력(保存力)이 낮기 때문인 것으로 본다. 5. 초장(草長) 및 근장(根長)은 낙엽종류(落葉種類) 및 초종(草種)에 따라 차이(差異)가 있었다. 6. 굴참나무 수림내(樹林內)에서 겉뿌림 목초(牧草)의 정착율(定着率)은 지표처리(地表處理)에 따라 화입(火入) 36%, 제경(蹄瓊) 46%, 갈퀴 37%, 및 무처리(無處理) 31%였다. 7. 목초율(牧草率)은 지표처리(地表處理)에 따라서 화입(火入) 57.8%, 제경(蹄耕) 70.9%, 갈퀴 59.6% 및 무처리(無處理) 54.0%였다. 8. 지표처리(地表處理)로써 제경(蹄耕)은 겉뿌림시(時) 기존식생(植生)을 억압할 뿐 아니라 토양(土壤)과 종자(種子)가 잘 밀착(密着)할 수 있어 효과가 컸다. 9. 건물수량(乾物收量)은 제경처리(蹄耕處理)가 가장 높았으나(P<0.05) 다른 처리간(處理間)의 수량(收量) 차이(差異)는 크기 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때 경사산지(傾斜山地) 및 임간지내(林間地內)에서의 겉뿌림 초지조성(草地造成)은 낙엽(落葉)퇴적물 위에 직접 겉뿌림하는 조성방법(造成方法)도 중요(重要)한 의미(意味)를 내포한다.

본 연구에서는 경상북도 일원에서 수집한 자귀나부(Albizia julibrissin)를 포함한 두과식물 17종에서 인체의 혈당저하제의 원료로 사용되는 pinitol 함량을 식물체 부위별로 조사하였는 바, 결과를 요약하면 아래와 같다. 1. 수집한 17개 두과식물 종간에는 pinitol 함량에서 유의적인 차이가 인정되었으며, 종별 총 pinitol 함량에서는 비수리(Lespedeza cuneata)가 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 식물체 부위별로 pinitol 함량을 살펴보면 대체적으로 잎, 줄기, 꼬투리, 종자, 뿌리의 순으로 많았다. 2. 잎에서 비교적 많은 pinitol 함량을 보인 식물은 골담초, 족제비싸리, 돌동부 및 비수리로 각각 59.9 mg/g, 62.2 mg/g, 69.6 mg/g, 65.4 mg/g으로 약 60 mg/g이상을 나타내었고, 줄기의 경우는 황기가 34.0 mg/g으로 비교적 높게 나타났으며, 뿌리에서는 칡이 24.6 mg/g으로 가장 높았으며, 감초와 골담초가 16.9 mg/g, 16.5 mg/g으로 그 다음으로 높았다. 그러나 꼬투리나 종자에서는 제비콩(52.5 mg/g)과 비수리(24.9 mg/g)를 제외하고 pinitol 함량은 잎이나 줄기에 비해 모든 조사식물에서 상대적으로 낮았다. 3. 조사대상 식물체의 pinitol 함량과 수확 가능한 식물체량을 고려할 때, 실제 약용으로 이용 가능성이 가장 높은 식물은 비수리이었다. 비수리의 경우 전국적인 수집을 통해 pinitol 함량이 높은 계통을 선발한다면 이용가능성 이 높은 pinitol 추출용 계통의 선발이나 보다 이용가치가 높은 새로운 품종의 육성도 가능할 것으로 생각된다.
