본 연구에서는 국가단위 한우 유전능력평가에 적용하고 있는 유전력이 적절한지를 검토하기 위하여 그간의 검정자료를 활용하여 유전모수를 추정하였으며, 향후 보증씨수소 선발지수의 개선 등을 위하여 다형질 개체모형을 활용하기 위한 기초자료로 다형질 모형을 적용하여 도체형질간 유전상관을 추정하였다. 연구결과 도체형질의 유전모수 추정치는 단형질과 다형질에서 매우 유사한 유전력을 나타냈으며 그간 연구자들이 보고한 유전력 범위 안에 있는 것으로 나타나, 아직까지는 국가단위 한우유전능력평가에 적용하고 있는 유전력을 변경할 필요는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 본 연구에서 추정한 형질 중 근내지방도 형질의 유전력이 그간 추정한 값보다 낮게 추정된 것은 근내지방도판정기준이 변경되어 기존의 1~7등급이 1~9등급체계로 변경한 문제와 8, 9등급을 7등급으로 조정하여 분석한 것에 의한 것일 수도 있을 것으로 보여 근내지방도를 변경 전과 변경 후를 다른 형질로 보아 다형질 분석을 실시하는 등 추가연구가 필요한 것으로 보인다. 한편, 도체중과 배장근단면적 간의 유전상관이 0.63으로 추정되어 현 보증씨수소 선발지수에 포함된 두 형질 중 어느 한 형질은 제거하여도 될 것으로 나타났으며, 현재와 같이 단형질 모형으로 추정한 육종가를 이용하여 선발지수를 구성할 경우 형질간의 유전상관이 고려되지 못하여 선발이 목표와 다르게 이루어질 수 있으므로 다형질 모형을 적용하여 육종가를 추정하고 이를 선발지수에 적용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 당대검정에서 1차 선발한 가축의 자손에 대하여 능력검정을 실시하는 체계에서는 선택된 자료만 활용하게 되므로 유전모수 추정에 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 당대검정과 후대검정자료를 동시에 활용하여 유전모수를 추정하는 등에 대한 추가 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

A trial was conducted to evaluate the growth performance and carcass characteristics of LW ${\times}$ Mukota $F_1$ crosses when fed diets containing graded levels of maize cob meal. Sixteen LW ${\times}$ Mukota $F_1$ crossbred pigs of approximately 4.5 months of age, were randomly allocated to four diets that contained 0, 100, 200 and 300 g maize cobs/kg, which corresponded to 276.4, 360.3, 402.9 and 523.5 g NDF/kg, respectively. The pigs were fed ad libitum for 14 weeks. The diets were formulated to contain similar levels of energy (ca. 9MJ ME/kg) and protein (ca.160 g CP/kg). Average daily feed intake (ADFI), daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were monitored for 14 weeks. At slaughter, the cold dressed weight (CDM) and backfat thickness (BFT) were determined. There was no significant linear relationship (p>0.05) between level of cob inclusion and ADFI. The ADG decreased as level of maize cobs increased (p<0.001). The pigs that were on 300 g cobs/kg had the highest FCR (p<0.05) as compared to pigs on the other three diets. No differences (p>0.05) were observed in the CDM between pigs that were fed diets that had 0 and 100 g maize cobs/kg. In addition, pigs on 100 and 200 g cobs/kg diets had the same CDM (p>0.05). The diet that contained 300 g cobs/kg gave the lowest (p< 0.001) CDM. Both BFT parameters showed a decrease (p<0.05) as level of maize cobs increased. An increase in CDM was associated with an increase in BFT (p<0.001), with the correlation coefficient between K7.5 and CDM being 0.84 (p<0.001). It can, therefore, be concluded that crossbred pigs perform well on diets containing up to 200 g/kg maize cobs.

본 연구는 강원도내 농촌지역 1개 군 관내 사육농가에서 사육되어 2004년 12월부터 2008년 6월까지 43개월 동안 강원도와 강원도 인근에 소재한 도축장 3개소에서 도축된 한우 거세우 6,431두의 성적과 한국종축개량협회에서 관리중인 한우 등록우 데이터베이스로부터 이들의 혈통자료 14,957두를 활용하여 도체형질에 대한 유전모수와 육종가를 추정하였다. 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 각 도체형질에 대한 평균과 표준편차는 근내지방도, 등지방두께, 배최장근단면적, 냉도체중 및 육량지수에서 각각 $5.57{\pm}2.01$, $10.87{\pm}4.06mm$, $87.87{\pm}9.07cm^2$, $426.75{\pm}49.27kg$ 및 $65.80{\pm}3.80$으로 나타났다. 2. 단형질 분석을 통한 도체형질의 유전력 추정치는 근내지방도, 등지방두께, 배최장근단면적, 냉도체중 및 육량지수에서 각각 0.36, 0.35, 0.24, 0.29 및 0.40으로 나타났다. 3. 근내지방도는 등지방두께, 배최장근단면적, 냉도체중, 및 육량 지수와 각각 -0.21, 0.30, -0.21, 0.30의 유전상관 계수가 추정 되었으며, 등지방두께는 배최장근단면적, 냉도체중, 및 육량지수와 각각 -0.12, 0.57, -0.97의 유전 상관계수가 추정되었다. 4. 배최장근단면적은 냉도체중 및 육량지수와 각각 0.32, 0.27의 유전상관 계수가 그리고 냉도체중은 육량지수와 -0.62의 유전 상관계수가 추정되었다. 5. 근내지방도가 등지방 두께나 도체중과 음의 유전상관관계를 보이고 있는 점을 고려할 때 근내지방도가 양호한 방향으로 선발을 진행할 경우 등지방두께를 낮추는 간접선발 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다. 그러나 근내지방도에 대한 선발은 도체중을 증가시키는데 장애를 초래할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A QTL was localized near S0120 on porcine chromosome 18. The QTL was significant (p<0.05) for average daily gain (ADG) of body weight and backfat thickness (BFT). The estimates of additive and dominance effects for the QTL were 0.0135 kg/day (p<0.001) and 0.0138 kg/day (p>0.5) for ADG and 1.6115 mm (p<0.001) and 0.9281 mm (p>0.05) for BFT. The location of this QTL coincided with a few growth hormone pathway genes. This study suggested that a QTL allele probably resulted from a mutation responsible for physiological lipase deficiency favoring obesity. This QTL might be important to obesity as well as growth in pigs.

한우도체의 육량등급요인인 도체중, 등지방두께 및 배장근단면적과 이들 요인으로 산정된 육량지수와 육량등급은 성 및 출하체중 별로 유의적인 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 설정된 성별 도체의 소매 정육량 예측식은 적합도($R^2$)가 높아 유통현장에서 도체의 상품가치를 손상시키지 않고 신속하고 정확하며 저비용으로 소매 정육량을 예측하는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있으며 또한 국가에서는 소고기 수급계획 수립에 활용하고 브랜드한우단체 등에서는 직판장의 공급량 결정에 이용할 수 있겠다. 한우도체의 판매정육량을 좀더 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 추정식을 산출하기 위해서는 성별로 도체중, 등지방두께 및 배장근면적과 같은 측정요인이 출하체중 증가에 따라 균일하게 발현되도록 효과적인 개량과 사양관리가 선결되어야 하겠다.

This study was conducted to construct basic data for the selection of elite cows by analyzing the estimated breeding value (EBV) and accuracy using the pedigree of Hanwoo cows in Gyeongnam. The phenotype trait used in the analysis are the carcass weight (CWT), eye muscle area (EMA), backfat thickness (BFT) and marbling score (MS). The pedigree of the test group and reference group was collected to build a pedigree structure and a numeric relationship matrix (NRM). The EBV, genetic parameters and accuracy were estimated by applying NRM to the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) multiple-trait animal model of the BLUPF90 program. Looking at the pedigree structure of the test group, there were a total of 2,371 cows born between 2003 to 2009, of these 603 cows had basic registration (25%), 562 cows had pedigree registration (24%) and 1,206 cows had advanced registration (51%). The proportion of pedigree registered cows was relatively low but it gradually increased and reached a point of 20,847 cows (68%) between 2010 to 2017. Looking at the change in the EBV, the CWT improved from 4.992 kg to 9.885 kg, the EMA from 0.970 ㎠ to 2.466 ㎠, the BFT from -0.186 mm to -0.357 mm, and the MS from 0.328 to 0.559 points. As a result of genetic parameter estimation, the heritability of CWT, EMA, BFT, and MS were 0.587, 0.416, 0.476, and 0.571, respectively, and the accuracy of those were estimated to be 0.559, 0.551, 0.554, and 0.558, respectively. Selection of superior genetic breed and efficient improvement could be possible if cow ability verification is implemented by using the accurate pedigree of each individual in the farms.

This study investigated the effects of crude protein levels in diets containing monobasic potassium phosphate (MKP) on water quality and the growth of Japanese eels Anguilla japonica and leafy vegetables in a Hybrid BFT-Aquaponics (HBFT-AP) system. The first experiment (EXP1) was designed to verify the effects of the feed itself on leafy vegetable productivity using two diets (CP48 and CP30) with MKP and one commercial eel diet (COM58). The second experiment (EXP2) examined the effects of the three diets on productivity of the fish and leafy vegetables in the HBFT-AP for 6 weeks. After the 6 week feeding trial, the weight gain, feed efficiency, specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio of fish fed COM58 and CP48 were higher than those of fish fed CP30 (P<0.05) and the growth of the four leafy vegetables was the highest with fish fed CP48. Water quality was measured six times per week using a portable water quality meter and reagent measurements and showed variance with time for TAN (0.01-0.09 mg/L), NO₂-N (0.010-0.064 mg/L), NO₃-N (5.52-27.15 mg/L), PO₄-P (2.03-5.32 mg/L) and pH (7.86-6.15).

This study was performed to investigate the effects of the low plane of nutrition on growth and meat quality of finishing pigs. A total of 136 crossbred barrows and gilts weighing approximately 55 kg were allotted to 8 pens, with 17 animals housed per pen, in a 2 (sex) ${\times}$ 2 (nutrition) factorial arrangement of treatments. The animals allotted to a medium plane of nutrition (MPN) received a finisher phase 1 (P1) diet containing 3.47 Mcal DE/kg and 0.92 % lysine and a P2 diet containing 3.40 Mcal DE/kg and 0.78 % lysine for 35 d and 36/43 d, respectively; the animals allotted to the low plane of nutrition (LPN) received only a P2 diet containing 3.00 Mcal DE/kg and 0.68 % lysine 7 d longer than MPN. The animals were slaughtered following the feeding trial, after which the loin, ham, Boston butt, and belly were taken from a total of 24 animals, with the average live weight being 120 kg, and their physicochemical and sensory quality traits were analyzed. Average daily gain did not differ between MPN and LPN during either P1 or P2. Average daily feed intake was greater (P < 0.05) in LPN vs. MPN during both phases whereas the opposite was true for the gain:feed ratio. Backfat thickness (BFT) was less in LPN vs. MPN (21.7 vs. 24.1 mm at 115 kg). The plane of nutrition influenced no effect on any of the physicochemical characteristics of fresh loin, ham, or Boston butt analyzed in the present study. Fresh hams from LPN exhibited superior aroma and odor scores than those from MPN; however, sensory quality traits were not influenced by the plane of nutrition in other fresh primal cuts or cooked meat. Instead, fresh primal cuts and cooked meat from gilts rendered superior physicochemical characteristics and sensory scores, respectively, than those from barrows. Results suggest that the low plane of nutrition may be useful to increase the slaughter weight of finishing pigs with a moderately high BFT by virtue of its BFT-lowering effect with or without exerting a slightly positive influence on pork quality.

Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) is an intestinal commensal bacterium implicated as a risk factor for colon cancer. The key virulence factor is a secreted toxin called B. fragilis toxin (BFT). In this study we used an in vitro bioassay to examine the prevalence of ETBF in colonic washings from patients with colorectal polyps and normal control patients. We found that 9.3% of polyp patients and 10.9% of non-polyp patients harbored ETBF, respectively. A total of nine ETBF clinical isolates were isolated and confirmed to be positive for the BFT gene by PCR analysis and the ability to induce IL-8 secretion in the colonic epithelial cell line HT29/c1. Two of the ETBF clinical strains were characterized further in vitro and in vivo. We found that the two ETBF clinical isolates induced E-cadherin cleavage in HT29/c1 cells and promoted colonic inflammation in C57BL/6 mice. Our results indicate that the prevalence of ETBF in polyp patients were similar in non-polyp patients suggesting that ETBF carriage does not positively correlate to polyp incidence.

The present study investigated the impacts of mating age of gilts (A1, < 230 days; A2, 230 - 249 days and A3, $250{\leq}days$) on reproductive performance and litter size of sows at farrowing to weaning. A total of 102 crossbred gilts ($Yorkshire{\times}Landrace$; average days old, 90 days) were purchased from a commercial breeding company. After identification of third estrus, the gilts were artificially inseminated using semen of Duroc boars. Pregnant pigs were allotted to one of three groups including A1, A2, and A3. Experimental diets and water were fed ad libitum during each experimental period which included the first, second, and third parities. Backfat thickness (BFT) of sows was higher in A3 at farrowing in the first parity than in others. At weaning time in the second parity, sows in A3 group showed a numerically higher BFT than those in A1. There was no effect of mating age on the total number of piglets born and total weaned piglets. There was a tendency to decrease the wean-to estrus-interval in the first parity as age increased at mating. Results obtained in the present study indicate that the first mating age does not affect the subsequent parites' reproductive performance; however, weaned to estrus interval tended to decrease in A2 at the first parity.
