  • The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary antioxidants on pro-inflammatory cytokines, heat shock protein (HSP) and antioxidant status in broiler chicks under summer conditions. A total of 162, 3-d-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to a basal diet (CON) and the basal diet supplemented with vitamin C (200 mg/kg diet, VCD) or vitamin E (100 mg/kg, VED) until 35 day of age. All birds were exposed to summer diurnal heat stress at average daily fluctuations of temperature between $32^{\circ}C$ to $34^{\circ}C$ at day to $27^{\circ}C$ to $29^{\circ}C$ at night for the entire feeding periods. There was no significant difference in body weight, feed to gain ratio and the relative organ weight except the thymus in response to dietary vitamin C or E supplementation. However, the mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, interferon (IFN)-${\gamma}$, Toll like receptor (TLR)-4 and HSP70 in the liver of birds fed diet containing vitamin C significantly (p<0.05) decreased compared with those in birds fed basal diet. Dietary vitamin E also showed a significant (p<0.05) decrease in the mRNA expression of IL-6 and HSP70 compared with a basal diet. Total antioxidant status (TAS) in serum of birds fed vitamin C supplemented diet was significantly (p<0.05) higher with than that in birds a basal diet. Lipid peroxidation in serum and liver resulted in a significant (p<0.05) decrease in response to dietary vitamin C or E supplementation. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with antioxidant vitamins, especially vitamin C resulted in a significant decrease in the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and HSP70, and higher antioxidant parameters than that of birds on the basal diet under summer conditions.

  • It has been recognized that the hen, like its mammalian counterparts, provides young chicks with antibodies as protection against hostile invaders. This system facilitates the transfer of specific antibodies from serum to egg yolk, and provides a supply of antibodies called immunoglobulin Y(IgY) to the developing embryo and the hatched chick. The protection against pathogens that the relatively immune-incompetent newly hatched chick has, is through transmission of antibodies from the mother via the egg. Egg yolk, therefore, can be loaded with a large amount of IgY against pathogens which can immobilize the existing or invading pathogens during the embryo development or in day-old chicks. Thus, the immunization of laying hens to various pathogens results in production of different antigen-specific IgY in eggs. Egg yolk contains 8∼20 mg of jmmunoglobulins (IgY) per ml or 136∼340 mg per yolk suggesting that more than 30 g of IgY can be obtained from one immunized hen in a year. By immunizing laying hens with antigens and collecting IgY from egg yolk, low cost antibodies at less than $10 per g compared to more than $20,000 per g of mammalian IgG can be obtained. This IgY technology opens new potential market applications in medicine, public health, veterinary medicine and food safety. A broader use of IgY technology could be applied as biological or diagnostic tool, nutraceutical or functional food development, oral-supplementation for prophylaxis, and as pathogen-specific antimicrobial agents for infectious disease control. This paper has emphasized that when IgY-loaded chicken eggs are produced and consumed, the specific antibody binds, immobilizes and consequently reduces or inhibits the growth or colony forming abilities of microbial pathogens. This concept could serve as an alternative agent to replace the use of antibiotics, since today, more and more antibiotics are less effective in the treatment of infections, due to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria.

  • Low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI; H9N2) and Newcastle disease (ND) are economically important poultry diseases in Korea. In this study, we investigated pathological features and virus distribution in the lymphoid tissues of chicks experimentally infected with H9N2 and/or ND virus. Six-weeks-old SPF chickens were divided into 4 groups, Control (C), H9N2 (E1), NDV (E2), and H9N2+NDV (E3). E1 group was challenged with 0.1 ml A/Kr/Ck/01310/01 (H9N2) $10^{5.6}$ $EID_{50}$ intranasally, E2 group was challenged with 0.5 ml KJW (NDV) $10^{5.0}{\sim}10^{6.0}$ $ELD_{50}$ intramuscularly, and E3 group was challenged with H9N2, followed 7 days later by NDV. In histopathological examination, E1 group showed depletion and necrosis in bursa of Fabricius, thymus, cecal tonsil, and spleen, whereas E2 and E3 groups were noted severe lymphocyte depletion and necrosis with destruction of lymphoid organs structures. In TUNEL assay, apoptotic bodies were detected in lymphoid organs of all experimental groups, which was most severe in E3 group. H9N2 and ND viruses were predominantly detected in cecal tonsil of E1, E2, and E3 groups by PCR and immunohistochemistry (ICH). In conclusion, co-infection of H9N2 with NDV caused severe pathologic lesions and apoptosis in lymphoid tissues compared to single infections.

  • The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth performance between two different crossbred strains of Korean native chickens denoted as 1A and 2A compared to white semi broilers and Ross (RR) from hatching to 40 days. In total, 576 one-day-old chicks were allocated in a completely randomized design to give 18 replicate cages each (eight chicks per cage). The two-phase feeding program consisted of the starter (day 1 - 21: Crude protein [CP] 20% and metabolizable energy [ME], 3,050 kcal·kg-1) and the grower (day 22 - 40: CP 18%, 3,100 kcal·kg-1). The results revealed that 1A and 2A had a lower (p < 0.05) body weight (BW) from day 1 to day 40 compared with the other groups. A lower (p < 0.05) average daily gain (ADG) was observed in 1A and 2A during the entire period when compared with the other groups. The 1A and 2A groups had the minimum (p < 0.05) average daily feed intake (ADFI) compared with the other groups for the whole period. The RR had an improved (p < 0.05) FCR compared with the other groups during the whole period. The 1A and 2A groups were observed to have the lowest (p < 0.05) shank length compared with the other groups during the entire period.

  • Using antibiotics as growth promoter has been banned in poultry feed industry, thus various researchers try to seek an alternative to replace the growth-promoting antibiotics. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the growth performance via intestinal nutrient utilization and cecal microbial composition of broiler after dietary supplementation with most commonly using antibiotics, zinc bacitracin, and sophorolipid. A total of 180 1-day-old chicks were randomly assigned, and dietary treatment was as follow: CON, basal diet; ZB, 100 ppm of zinc bacitracin supplemented diet; and SPL, 250 ppm of sophorolipid supplemented diet. Their growth performance was evaluated and the samples of blood, small intestine, and ileal and cecal digesta were collected for biochemical, histological, and genomic analyses. The body weight and average daily gain of 7-day-old chicks were higher in ZB and those in overall experimental period were improved by ZB and SPL supplementation (p < 0.05). Their intestinal characteristics were not affected by dietary treatments in duodenum and ileum. Nonetheless, villus height was increased by SPL supplementation in jejunum (p < 0.05). Moreover, dietary SPL supplementation could down-regulate the expression level of pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-1β (p < 0.05). mRNA levels of lipid and protein transporters did not differ among the treatments, however, relative expression levels of carbohydrate transporters, GLUT2 and SGLT1 were increased in broiler chicken's jejumum fed zinc bacitracin and sophorolipid supplemented diets (p < 0.05). Dietary zinc bacitracin supplementation could increase the population of Firmicutes in phylum level, and the portion of Turiciacter in genus level. On the other hands, the portion of Faecalibacterium was increased by dietary SPL supplementation compared to the other treatments. Our findings suggest that SPL supplementation improves growth performance through enhanced carbohydrate utilization capacity via improvement of gut morphological status and modulation of the cecal microbial population of broilers.

  • 본 연구에서는 ${\omega}$-6 및 ${\omega}$-3계 지방산을 함유한 유지의 첨가비율을 달리한 실험사료를 어린 병아리에서 급여했을 때 면연 기관의 지방산조성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 5개의 처리구에 각 처리당 3반복을 두고 총 75수의 1일령 수평아리를 공시하였다. 옥수수유(CO)와 들깨유(PO)를 중량비로 각각 8%+0%, , 6%+2%, 4%+4%, 2%+6%, 0%+8% 수준으로 첨가한 반정제 실험 사료를 7주간 급여하였다. 실험 종료시 증체량 및 사료섭취량은 처리 간에 큰 차이가 보이지 않았으며 체중 100g당 간장 중량 및 면역 기관 중량에서도 유의한 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 면역조직 내 지방산 조성은 EPA와 AA(arachidonic acid)를 포함하여 섭취한 사료 지방산의 조성을 잘 반영하는 경향을 보였는데, 면역기관 간에 그 정도에 차이가 있었다. 들깨유의 첨가수준이 증가함에 따라 linoleie acid LA)의 비율이 점진적으로 감소하였고 반면 a-linolenic acid(LNA) 비율은 현저하게 증가하는 경향이었다. 흉선에는 .LA와 LNA의 함량이 다른 조직보다 현저히 더 많아서 섭취하는 지방산의 조성이 가장 잘 반영되었다. 비장 조직에는 HPA 및 AA 농도와 EPA/LNA, AA/LA의 비율이 다른 조직에 비해 현저히 더 높았는데 이는 비장이 LA나 LNA로부터 AA나 EPA로 전환하는 능력이 높음을 의미한다. 실험사료 급여후 2, 4주후에 조사된 anti-BSA 항체가 유의한 차이는 인정되지 않았으나 CO 8%구에 비해 PO를 첨가한 모든 구에서 더 많이 생성되는 경향이 관찰되었고 특히 PO를 6% 및 8% 첨가한 실험구에서 20~30%나 더 높아졌다. 결론적으로 섭취하는 지방산 조성에 따라 면역기관내 모든 지방산 조성이 변하였으며, 면역기관에 따라 그 반응정도가 달라지는 것이 관찰되었다. 이는 eicosanoids 합성에도 영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 가금에서 질병에 대한 면역력 향상이라는 관점에서 앞으로 더 세밀한 연구가 필요하다.

  • 본 연구는 사료 내 대사 에너지 및 조단백질의 수준별 급여가 산란종 수평아리의 생산성과 도체 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하여, 전용 사료로서 요구되는 적정 영양 수준을 구명코자 실시하였다. 실험 동물은 1일령 Hy-Line Brown 수평아리 900수를 공시하여 대사 에너지를 두 가지 수준(2,800 kcal/kg 및 2,950 kcal/kg), 조단백질을 세 가지 수준(17%, 18.5% 및 20%)으로 하는 $2{\times}3$ factorial design으로 구성하여 처리당 5반복, 반복당 30수씩을 체중이 유사하도록 완전임의 배치하였다. 21일령, 53일령에 생체중, 사료 섭취량 및 사료 요구율을 조사하였고, 에너지 및 단백질 섭취량을 산출하였다. 53일령에 생체중 측정치의 평균에 해당하는 개체를 처리구별로 8수씩 선발하여 도계 후 가식성 부위 및 조직의 상대적 중량을 조사하였다. 혈중 콜레스테롤 및 간 기능 관련 효소의 활성을 측정하였다. 사료 섭취량은 대사 에너지수준이 높을수록 감소하였고(p<0.05), 대사 에너지${\times}$조단백질 상호작용 또한 유의적인 차이가 인정되었다(p< 0.05). 증체량과 사료 요구율은 대사 에너지 수준보다는 조단백질의 사료 내 수준이 17.0%에서 20.0%로 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 개선되는 결과를 나타내었으며(p<0.05), 대사 에너지${\times}$조단백질 상호작용은 나타나지 않았다. 사료 내 영양소 수준에 따른 에너지와 단백질의 섭취량은 대사 에너지${\times}$조단백질 상호작용에 의한 유의한 차이나 경향이 관찰되었다. 1 g 증체에 요구되는 에너지 섭취량은 조단백질 수준이 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 낮아졌고(p<0.001), 수당 단백질 섭취량은 저에너지구(2,800 kcal/kg)가 고에너지구(2,950 kcal/kg)에 비하여 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.05), 조단백질 수준의 증가에 따라 유의하게 높아졌다(p<0.001). 1 g 증체에 요구되는 단백질 섭취량 역시, 조단백질 수준의 증가에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였다(p<0.01). 간, 비장, 가슴육 및 다리 부위의 상대적 중량에서는 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 총 콜레스테롤, GOT 활성, BUN, 크레아틴 역시 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, GPT 활성에서 대사 에너지 2,950 kcal/kg 처리구가 대사 에너지 2,800 kcal/kg 처리구에 비하여 높은 경향을 보였고(p=0.056), 혈청 알부민에서 대사 에너지${\times}$조단백질 상호작용이 관찰되었다(p<0.05). 본 연구 결과, 산란종 수평아리의 증체량과 사료 요구율은 대사 에너지 수준보다는 조단백질 수준 증가에 따라 선형적으로 개선되는 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 통해 대사 에너지 2,800 kcal/kg 및 2,950 kcal/kg의 급여 수준의 차이는 성장에 미치는 영향이 미미한 것으로 판단할 수 있었다. 각 기간별로도 사료 내 대사 에너지 및 조단백질 수준에 따른 일정한 경향이 유지되었고, 대사 에너지 및 조단백질 수준별 급여가 도체특성, 혈액조성에 크게 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서 대사 에너지 2,800 kcal/kg 수준과 조단백질 18.5% 수준 이상의 사료 급여가 산란종 수평아리의 육성에 있어서 가장 적정한 영양 수준인 것으로 사료된다.

  • The new assay method was developed by using young chicks instead of frogs for screening of anti-emetic compounds from natural sources. Comparing with our previous method using leopard and ranid frogs, the advantages of the new method were not only completely parallel results but also decreasing standard errors. Hinesol and eudesmol were isolated from MeOH extract of Atractylodes lancea rhizome as the anti-emetic principles.
