The effects of dietary copper (Cu) supplementation in broiler chickens challenged with a single injection of Salmonella typhymurium lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the antioxidant capacity and plasma levels of ceruloplasmin (Cp) were evaluated. The broiler chickens were provided with a basal diet or diets supplemented with 8 and 50 mg/kg Cu from 1d of age. At 25d of age, 48 chickens with similar body weight were selected from each diet. Half of the chickens in each dietary treatment were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with LPS (1 mg/kg body weight). The other half was injected with saline, serving as the control. Body weight gain and feed consumption were significantly suppressed by LPS challenge during the first 12-h after injection, regardless of dietary Cu levels. Feed efficiency was reduced by LPS injection during the 72-h experimental period. Dietary Cu levels had no significant effect (p>0.05) on the plasma ceruloplasmin concentrations in chickens injected with saline. In contrast, high dietary level of Cu elevated plasma Cp levels in chickens with LPS challenge. Short-term LPS challenge had no significant effect on the antioxidant ability of broilers, as indicated by superoxide dismutase, ferric reducing/antioxidant power and the thiobarbituric acid reacting substances in the plasma. The result suggests that high dietary Cu level (as much as 50 mg/kg supplementation) is favorable for coping with short-term LPS challenge through upregulating plasma Cp levels.

The purpose of this study was to compare the mineral status of postmenopausal vegetarian women with those of the omnivores, and to investigate the relationship between dietary pattern and minerals status in postmenopausal Korean women. The research group was composed of vegetarian women (n = 38), all of them were seven day adventists, who had been on vegetarian diet over 20 yrs. Their anthropometric measurements, dietary intakes, and blood mineral concentrations were compared to age matched omnivores controls (n = 38). The average age of vegetarians and omnivores were 60.7 yrs and 60.5 yrs, respectively and there was no significant difference. The mean daily energy intake of vegetarians and omnivores were 1518.5 kcal and 1355.5 kcal, respectively and their was no significant difference. The mean calcium intake of vegetarians (492.6 mg) was not significantly different from that of omnivores (436.6 mg). The vegetarians consumed significantly greater quantities of magnesium (p < 0.001), iron (p < 0.001), copper (p < 0.001), manganese (p < 0.001) and dietary fiber (p < 0.05). There were no significantly differences in serum calcium, magnesium and manganese levels between vegetarians and omnivores. However, serum levels of phosphorus (p < 0.01), iron (p < 0.05), ferritin (p < 0.01), zinc (p < 0.001) and copper (p < 0.05) were significantly lower than those of omnivores. In conclusion, vegetarian postmenopausal women may have low bioavailability of iron, zinc and copper. Therefore it was needed that further study on mineral bioavailability of vegetarian diet.

The purpose of this study was to assess the zinc and copper status of type 2 diabetic women and to analyse the relation-ship among zinc and copper status, and diabetic control indices of diabetes. The mean age of diabetes was 57.9 years old. The mean duration of diabetes was 8.0 $\pm$ 6.5 years. The mean daily energy intake of diabetes was 1562 kcal. There were no significant differences of age, BMI, %body fat, nutritional intakes, total energy intake, and energy composition from carbohydrate, protein, and fat between diabetes (n = 50) and control group (n = 68). However, both zinc intake density (4.15 mg/1000 kcal) and zinc %RDA (62.0%) of diabetes were significantly lower than control group (p <0.05, P < 0.01, respectively). The plasma zinc level was not significantly different between diabetes and control group (90$\mu$g/dl, 91$\mu$g/dl respectively). The proportion of diabetic women whose plasma zinc levels were lower than 76 $\mu$g/dl(borderline zinc deficiency) was 18.8%. This was about 38% higher than control group. It has been suggested that insulin secretion might decrease in borderline plasma zinc and copper deficiency and increase in normal plasma zinc and copper status. The urinary zinc excretion was twice higher in diabetes than in control group (p < 0.001). The urinary zinc loss was positively correlated with the duration of diabetes (p < 0.05), hyperglycemia (p < 0.001) and insulin resistance (p < 0.05). These results lead us to conclude that normal blood glucose level controlled by diet therapy could improve the hyperzincuria in diabetic women.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of feeding a trace minerals-fortified microbial culture (TMC) on the performance and carcass characteristics of late-fattening Hanwoo steers. A mixture of microbes (0.6% [v/w] of Enterobacter sp., Bacillus sp., Lactobacillus sp., and Saccharomyces sp.) was cultured with 99% feedstuff for ensiling and 0.4% trace minerals (zinc, selenium, copper, and cobalt). Sixteen late-fattening steers (mean age, 21.8 months) were allocated to two diets: a control diet (concentrate mix and rice straw) and a treated diet (control diet+3.3% TMC). At a mean age of 31.1 months, all the steers were slaughtered. The addition of TMC to the diet did not affect the average daily weight gain of the late fattening steers, compared with that of control steers. Moreover, consuming the TMC-supplemented diet did not affect cold carcass weight, yield traits such as back fat thickness, longissimus muscle area, yield index or yield grade, or quality traits such as meat color, fat color, texture, maturity, marbling score, or quality grade. However, consumption of a TMC-supplemented diet increased the concentrations of zinc, selenium, and sulfur (p<0.05) in the longissimus muscle. With respect to amino acids, animals consuming TMC showed increased (p<0.05) concentrations of lysine, leucine, and valine among essential amino acids and a decreased (p<0.05) concentration of proline among non-essential amino acids. In conclusion, the consumption of a TMC-supplemented diet during the late-fattening period elevated the concentrations of certain trace minerals and essential amino acids in the longissimus muscle, without any deleterious effects on performance and other carcass characteristics of Hanwoo steers.

Cr 및 Cu의 형태별 병용급여가 육성돈의 육성성적, 영양소 소화율, 분내 광물질 배출량에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다.1.유기태 또는 무기태 형태의 Cr과 Cu를 병용급여한 결과 육성돈의 일당증체량은 CrMet과 CuMet을 첨가한 구에서 높게(p<0.05) 나타나고 사료요구율도 낮았다(p<0.05). 반면에 CrMet과 CuSO4를 병용 첨가한 구에서는 사료섭취량은 낮고(p<0.05) 일당증체량도 낮게(p<0.05) 나타났다.2.영양소 소화율은 CrMet과 CuMet을 병용 첨가한 구에서 영양소 소화율이 높게(p<0.05) 나타났으나, CrMet과 CuSO4를 병용 첨가한 구에서는 낮게(p<0.05) 나타났다. CrCl3 첨가구에서는 CuMet 또는 CuSO4를 병용 첨가하더라도 영양소 소화율에는 유의적인(p>0.05) 차이를 보이지 않았다. 3.광물질 Cu, Zn, Cr의 각각의 분으로의 배출율은 CrMet과 CuMet을 병용 첨가한 구에서 낮았으며(p<0.05), CrCl3와 CuSO4를 병용 첨가한 구에서 높게(p<0.05) 나타났다.이상의 결과를 집약하여 보면 유기태 형태의 병용 첨가구가 무기태 형태 병용 첨가구보다 일당증체량이 높고 사료요구율이 개선되었고, 영양소 소화율도 높게 나타났다. 또한 유기태 형태로 급여한 병용 첨가구가 무기태 형태로 병용 첨가한 구보다 Cu, Zn, Cr의 분으로의 배출율이 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 본 시험에서는 유기태 또는 무기태 Cr과 Cu의 병용첨가는 성장률이나 영양소 소화율에서 교호 및 길항작용 효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 유기태 형태의 광물질로 무기태 형태를 대체 급여시 토양에 과다 축적될 경우 환경오염을 일으킬 수 있는 광물질의 배설량을 감소시킬 수 있음을 보여주었다.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of three different copper (Cu) sources (one inorganic and two organics) and levels (0, 50, and 100 mg/kg) on the growth performance, Cu digestibility, fecal mineral excretion, serum mineral concentration, jejunal morphology, and serum biochemical profile of growing pigs. A total of 42 male, growing pigs (31.08 ± 1.82 kg) were randomly assigned to seven treatments consisting of one negative control (0 mg/kg of added Cu level) and treatments with copper sulfate (CuSO4), Cu-amino acid complex (CuAA), and Cu-hydroxy-4-methylthio butanoate chelate complex (CuHMB) at 50 and 100 mg/kg each for 28 d. Pigs fed 50 or 100 mg/kg of Cu showed improved (p < 0.05) average daily gain and feed intake. Although Cu excretion decreased (p < 0.01) in pigs fed 100 mg/kg of organic Cu sources compared to those fed CuSO4, there was no difference between the Cu sources in pigs fed 50 mg/kg. However, the apparent total tract digestibility of Cu increased (p < 0.01) in pigs fed organic Cu sources compared with that in pigs fed CuSO4. The addition of CuHMB increased (p < 0.01) serum phosphorus and sulfur concentrations; however, there were no effects of source and level on jejunal morphology and serum biochemical profile. These results suggest that the inclusion (50 mg/kg) of organic Cu sources (CuAA and CuHMB) in the growing pig diet could be beneficial for growth performance and Cu availability and may reduce environmental pollution.

주요 단백질원이 북양어분(White fish meal)인 뱀장어용 배합사료에 각종 무기물질중 Co per와 Manganese에 대한 첨가 적양을 검토하기 위한 뱀장어 사육실험을 실시하였다. Cu 첨가 사육실험 결과, 5 $\mu$g/g 첨가구가 성장 및 사료효율이 가장 좋았고, 다소 비만도가 높은 결과를 보였다. 한편 가장 높은 농도인 20 $\mu$g/g 실험구에서 Cu에 의한 약해는 나타나지 않았으며, 무첨가구는 첨가 실험구보다 간 중양이 다소 낮은 경향을 보였다. 그리고 근육 및 간에서의 Cu 함양, 골격에서의 Al 함양은 사육중 Cu 함양에 비례하여 증가하며, 간에서의 Zn 함양은 반비례하였다. Mn 첨가 사육실험 결과, 20$\mu$g/g 첨가구에서 가장 종은 성장을 나타내었으며, 40$\mu$g/g 첨가구에서 사료효율이 가장 좋았다. 근육, 간 그리고 골격의 Mn 함양 및 간의 Cu 함양은 Mn 첨가양에 비례하여 증가하였다. 이상의 결과를 볼 때 북양어분을 주 단백질원으로 하는 뱀장어용 배합사료에 Cu 및 Mn의 적정 첨가양은 각각 5$\mu$g/g과 30$\mu$g/g 정도가 적합하다고 사료된다.

Forty-eight individually fed Angus steers (body weight $220kg{\pm}9.1$) were utilized to investigate the effects of copper (Cu) source and concentration on lipid metabolism and carcass quality. Steers were stratified by body weight and initial liver Cu concentration and randomly assigned to one of five groups. Groups were then randomly assigned to treatments. Treatments consisted of: 1) control (no supplemental Cu); 2) 10 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$; 3) 10 mg Cu/kg DM from a Cu amino acid complex (Availa Cu) 4) 20 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$; and 5) 20 mg Cu/kg DM from Availa Cu. Steers were fed a corn-alfalfa-based growing diet for 56 d. Steers were then switched to a high concentrate finishing diet for 145 d. On day 74 of the finishing phase subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies were obtained from three steers/treatment to determine basal and stimulated lipolytic rates in vitro. Steers were then slaughtered after receiving the finishing diet for 145 d. Control steers tended (p<0.12) to have lower ceruloplasmin (Cp) activity than Cu supplemented steers. Steers receiving 20 mg Cu/kg DM from Availa Cu had higher (p<0.03) Cp activity than steers receiving 20 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$. Plasma non-esterified fatty acids were similar across treatments. Steers receiving 10 mg Cu/kg DM from Availa Cu had higher (p<0.02) total plasma cholesterol concentrations relative to steers receiving 10 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$. Steers receiving 20 mg Cu/kg DM from Availa Cu had lower (p<0.03) plasma triglyceride concentrations than steers supplemented with 20 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$. Fatty acid profile of longissimus muscle was similar across treatments. Backfat depth tended (p<0.18) to be lower in Cu supplemented steers relative to controls. Steers supplemented with 20 mg Cu/kg DM from Availa Cu had heavier (p<0.03) hot carcass weights and a greater (p<0.02) dressing percentage than steers supplemented with 20 mg Cu/kg DM from $CuSO_4$. Furthermore, in vitro basal (p<0.06) and epinephrine stimulated (p<0.04) lipolytic rates of subcutaneous adipose tissue were higher in Cu supplemented steers relative to controls. The results of this study suggest that Cu supplementation has minimal effects on blood and lean tissue lipid profile. However, it appears that Cu may play a role in lipid metabolism in subcutaneous adipose tissue.

본 실험은 Cu-soy proteinate(Cu-SP)와 Herb-Mix(HBM)을 단독 또는 혼합급여가 산란계의 생산성, 혈액성상 및 면역체계에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 실시하였다. 사양시험은 60주령의 산란계(Hy-Line Brown) 800수를 선별하여 A형 2단 4열 케이지에 대조구 포함 총 4처리구로 구성하여 처리 당 5반복, 반복당 40수씩(2수 수용 케이지 25개) 난괴법으로 임의 배치하였다. 시험 기간 동안 물과 사료는 자유 섭취하게 하였으며, 일반적인 점등 관리(자연일조+조명=16 hr)를 실시하였다. 처리구들은 대조구, Cu-SP(Cu-soy proteinate로 Cu 100 ppm 첨가구), HBM(지황 10%, 산약 10%, 당귀 20%, 오미자 5%, 감초 5%, 천궁 10%) 0.15% 첨가구, Cu-SP+HBM(Cu-spy proteinate로 Cu 100 ppm 첨가구+HBM 0.15%) 첨가구는 총 4 처리구였다. 5주간의 사양 실험 결과, 일계 산란율(Hen-day egg production)은 Cu-SP구와 HBM의 단독 급여가 대조구와 비교하여 유의적으로(P<0.05) 높았으며, 사료 섭취량, 사료 요구율, 난중, 연파란율은 처리구 간에 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 난각 강도는 Cu-SP구가 대조구와 비교하여 유의적으로(P<0.05) 높았으며, 난각 두께, 난각색, 난황색, Haugh unit은 처리구 간에 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. Leukocyte 수치 중 백혈구 수치는 Cu-SP+HBM구가 HBM과 비교하여 유의적으로(P<0.05) 높았으며, 스트레스 지수는 Cu-SP구가 대조구와 HBM구와 비교하여 유의적으로(P<0.05) 높았다. IgG 함량은 첨가구들이 대조구와 비교하여(P<0.05) 유의적으로 높았음을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 Cu-SP와 HBM의 단독 또는 혼합급여는 둘 다 생산성을 증가시키며, 면역성상을 개선시키는 효과를 보여주었다.
