Silkworm pupae have been utilized as a food source and have high-quality proteins and fatty acids. However, studies on the nutritional composition of pupae according to their variety, developmental stage, and sex have not been conducted. In this study, the nutritional composition of four Korean silk varieties (Baegokjam, BG; Goldensilk, GS; Juhwangjam, JH; and YeonNokjam, YN) were analyzed according to developmental stage and sex. The main ingredient of the pupa was protein, and the protein levels were higher in females than in males. Fat levels were high in males and increased in YN and GS during the late stage but decreased in BG. Fiber content rapidly increased in the late stages, and the lowest content was observed in BG. The pupae contained all essential amino acids, which were detected at higher ratios in females with a high protein content. Fatty acids had a different predominance depending on the variety. Oleic acid level was high in BG, linoleic acid and linolenic acid levels were high in GS, and palmitic acid and stearic acid levels were high in JH. In the mineral analysis, zinc was dominant in BG, whereas calcium and iron levels were relatively low. Zinc level was low in GS, and calcium and magnesium levels were high in JH. Potassium, sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus levels were low in YN. The silkworm pupae showed differences in components according to their variety, sex, and developmental stage; therefore, selecting a variety suitable for its purpose is necessary.

양파 농축액이 흰쥐 동물모델에서 고지방식이로 유도된 고지혈증에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 조사하였다. 고지방식이가 혼합된 식이만 공급된 동물군을 대조군, 고지방 식이와 함께 양파 농축액 중 양파만 제거된 농축액만 공급된 동물군을 위약군, 그리고 고지방 식이와 양파 농축액을 함께 공급된 동물군을 농도에 따라 저농도군, 중농도군, 고농도군으로 8마리씩 5그룹으로 나누어 6주간 사육하였다. 시작전, 3주째 그리고 6주째에 혈액을 채취하였고 간은 6 주 혈액 채취 직후 적출되었다. 대조군과 실험군 모두 연구 시작부터 종료 시까지 지속적으로 체중이 증가하였으나 그룹 간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 양파 농축액을 공급받은 동물군들의 혈액의 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤 non-HDL콜레스테롤 수치는 고지방 식이를 지속적으로 동시에 공급받았음에도 불구하고 6주째에는 대조군에 비해서 유의적으로 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 간의 총지방 함량이나 총지방산의 농도는 대조군과 비교해서 양파농축액 고농도 급여군에서만 유의적으로 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 이상의 실험 결과들을 종합해 볼 때, 6주 동안 고지방 식이로 유도된 실험동물의 고지혈은 양파 농축액에 의해서 유의적으로 개선되는 경향을 보였다. 이 실험 결과는 양파 농축액이 혈액의 중성지방과 총콜레스테롤을 감소시킴으로서 고지혈증 개선에 효과가 있어 고지혈증을 완화하는데 효과적인 식이적인 수단이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Background: In 2006, the European Union (EU) has decided to forbid use of antibiotics as growth promoters. Although many researches had been conducted about fiber source as alternatives of antibiotics, there are still lack of reports in the literature about the optimum level of sugar beet pulp supplementation, affecting growth performance and nutrient digestibility in weaning pigs. Therefore, different level of sugar beet pulp was added to diets to determine the effects of sugar beet pulp supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, fecal microflora, blood profile and incidence of diarrhea in weaning pigs. Methods: A total of 200 weaning pigs [$(Yorkshire{\times}Landrace){\times}Duroc$], averaging $9.01{\pm}1.389kg$ of initial body weight were, allotted to 5 treatments in a randomized complete block (RCB) design. Each treatment was composed of 4 replicates with 10 pigs per pen. The treatments were control treatment: Corn-SBM basal diet + ZnO (phase 1: 0.05%; phase 2; 0.03%) and four different levels of sugar beet pulp were supplemented in Corn-SBM basal diet (3, 6, 9 or 12%). Two phase feeding programs (phase 1: 1-2 weeks; phase 2: 3-5 weeks) were used for 5 week of growth trial. Results: In feeding trial, there were no significant differences in growth performance and incidence of diarrhea among treatments. The E.coli counts were not significantly different among dietary treatments but linear response was observed in Lactobacillus counts as sugar beet pulp supplementation increased (P < 0.05). In addition, IGF-1, IgA and IgG were not affected by dietary treatments. However, the BUN concentration was decreased when pigs were fed the treatments of diets with SBP compared to that of control treatment (P < 0.05). In nutrient digestibility, crude fiber and NDF digestibilities were improved as the sugar beet pulp increased (P < 0.05). However, digestibilities of crude ash, crude fat, crude fiber and nitrogen retention were not affected by dietary sugar beet pulp levels. Conclusion: This experiment demonstrated that sugar beet pulp can be supplemented in weaning pigs' diet instead of ZnO to prevent postweaning diarrhea without any detrimental effect on growth performance.

The experiment was conducted to evaluate CM (Cell Mass from Lysine Fermentation), which is used to produce synthetic lysine in industry, as an alternative protein source in broiler diets. Three different production conditions were employed to produce CMs (CM I, II, III). Treatments were control, CM I -1 (1 % of CM in the diet), CM I -3 (3% of CM in the diet), CM I -5 (5% of CM in the diet), CM II (3% of CM in the diet), and CM III (3% of CM in the diet). It was found that CM products were all high in crude protein content and especially high in lysine and methionine contents, while very low in minerals. For the starter period, all CM groups showed better weight gain, chicks fed CM I -1 diets were especially high in weight gain (p < 0.05). CM groups consumed 14.4 to 18.0% more feed than chicks fed control diets (p < 0.05). The best FCR was found in CM I -1 groups (p < 0.05), but as CM level was increased, FCR was also increased. For the finisher period, weight gain was similar through all treatments. Through whole experimental period, weight gain and feed intake were higher in all CM groups than control group (p < 0.05), however, as CM level was increased, FCR was also increased. Generally chicks fed CM diets showed higher utilizabilities of gross energy, dry matter, crude protein and crude fat. The best nutrients utilizability was obtained in CM I -1 group, and the worst was found in the control group. During the finisher period, the utilizabilities of crude protein, crude ash and phosphorus were not affected by the dietary treatments. Amino acids utilizability was not significantly affected by the treatments except CM I -5 group. In all amino acids tested, chicks did not show the big difference in utilizabilities. Only in the CM I -5 group, amino acids utilizability was significantly lower than control group. However, among CM I groups, the mean value of the amino acids utilizability was decreased as the level of CM inclusion in the diet was increased. During the finisher period, similar trend was found in amino acids utilizability.

참전복 치패용 배합사료의 적정 지질원을 조사하기 위하여 카제인과 북양어분을 각각 단백질원으로 하고 지방산과 지질원을 달리 첨가하여 3회에 걸쳐 사육실험을 실시하였다. 세 실험 모두 평균체중 160mg의 치패를 각 수조에 100마리씩 수용하여 사료마다 3반복으로 20주간 사육 실험하였다. 1. 카제인 사료에 지방산 첨가 효과, 단백질원을 카제인으로 하여 지방산이 달리 첨가된 6종의 사료(지방산 무첨가구, 12 :0, 18 : 1, 18 : 2, 18 : 3 및 n-3HUFA첨가구)로 사육실험한 결과, 생존율, 최종 평균체중, 증체율 및 가식부 중량도 사료의 지방산에 영향을 받지 않았다 (P>0.05). 반면에 평균 각장은 지방산 무첨가구(fat-free)와 n-3HUFA첨가구가 가장 낮아서 18 : 1과 18 : 2 첨가구와 유의차를 보였다(P<0.05). 가식부의 수분과 단백질 함량은 실험구간에 차이가 없었으며(p>0.05), 지질은 지방산 무첨가구가 0.5%로 18 : 1 첨가구의 0.7%와 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 2. 카제인 사료에 지질원 첨가 효과 단백질원을 카제인으로 하여 오징어 간유(SO), 옥수수유(CO), 우지(BT), SO+CO및 SO+BT를 각각 5%씩 첨가한 배합사료로 사육 실험한 결과, 생존율은 실험구간에 유의한 차이는 없었으나(P>0.05), 최종평균체중, 증체율 및 각장은 SO, SO+CO 및 SO+BT(n-3HUFA 함량: 0.5%) 실험구가 CO및 BT 실험구가 높은 값을 나타내었다(P<0.05). 가식부 평균중량도 SO+CO 및SO+BT 실험구는 SO 실험구와 유의차없이 좋은 결과를 보였지만, CO및 BT가 실험구는 SO 실험구보다 유의하게 낮은 값을 보였다(P<0.05). 실험 종료시 가식부의 수분과 단백질 함량은 사료의 지질원에 영향을 받지 않았지만, 지질함량은 SO가 첨가된 실험구(SO, SO+CO, SO+BT)가 CO첨가구보다 유의하게 높은 값을 보였다(p<0.05). 3.어분 사료에 지질원 첨가 효과 실용적인 측면을 고려하여 단백질원으로 어분이 첨가된 사료에 지질은 첨가하지 않은 사료와 SO, CO, BT, SO+CO 및 SO+BT을 각각 5% 첨가한 사료로 사육한 결과, 생존율은 실험구가에 유의차가 없었으나(P>0.05), 증체율은 BT와 SO+BT 실험구가 지질 무첨가구 (지질함량 : 2.2%), SO 및 CO 실험구보다 유의하게 낮았다(P<0.05). 실험종료시 가식부의 수분과 단백질 함량은 사료 지질에 영향을 받지 않았지만, 지질은 사료 지질 함량과 지질원에 영향을 받아 지질 무첨가구가 가장 낮았다(P<0.05). 이사의 결과들로부터 참전복 치패용 배합사료에는 n-3HUFA가 0.5%이상 함유되어야 할 것으로 생각되며, 어분이 첨가된 사료에 지질이 2%이상일 때는 지질을 추가로 첨가할 필요는 없으며, 지질을 추가할 경우 우지보다는 어유나 식물성기름을 첨가하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 기대된다.

The demand for food is increasing day by day because of the increasing global population. Therefore, meat, the easiest and largely available source of protein, needs to be produced in large amounts with good quality. The pork industry is a significant shareholder in fulfilling the global meat demands. Notably, myogenesis- development of muscles during embryogenesis- is a complex mechanism which culminates in meat production. But the molecular mechanisms which govern the myogenesis are less known. The involvement of miRNAs in myogenesis and meat quality, which depends on factors such as myofiber composition and intramuscular fat contents which determine the meat color, flavor, juiciness, and water holding capacity, are being extrapolated to increase both the quantity and quality of pork. Various kinds of microRNAs (miRNAs), miR-1, miR-21, miR22, miR-27, miR-34, miR-127, miR-133, miR-143, miR-155, miR-199, miR-206, miR-208, miR-378, and miR-432 play important roles in pig skeletal muscle development. Further, the quality of meat also depends upon myofiber which is developed through the expression of different kinds of miRNAs at different stages. This review will focus on the mechanism of myogenesis, the role of miRNAs in myogenesis, and meat quality with a focus on the pig.

This study investigated the influence of different durations of aerobic exercise on fuel utilization, lactate levels and antioxidative status in trained rats. Forty rats underwent physical training (T, n = 20) or non- training (NT, n = 20) for 6 weeks. For physical training, animals exercised on a treadmill for 30 min 5 days per week. At the end of week 6, the animals in each group were subdivided into BE, DE-0.5, DE-1 and DE-2, which were sacrificed at the end of week 6 without having performed exercise or after exercise on a treadmill for 0.5h, 1h and 2h, respectively, immediately before being sacrificed. The plasma glucose level in DE-2 of the NT group was significantly lower than in the other groups. Muscle and liver glycogen levels were significantly lower in DE-1 and DE-2, but there were no significant differences between DE-1 and DE-2 in the T group. Liver protein in DE-2 of the NT group was significantly lower. Muscle TG levels were decreased in DE-0.5 of the T group, while those of the NT group were decreased in DE-1. FFA levels were increased in DE-0.5 of the T group and in DE-1 of the NT group. Lactate levels were increased in DE-0.5 of the NT group, while they were increased in DE-1 of the T group. Catalase activity of the T group was lower in BE but higher in DE-0.5, DE-1 and DE-2. SOD activities were higher in trained rats, while the GSH/GSSG ratios were higher in BE, DE-0.5 and DE-1 in the T group, and there was no difference in that of DE-2. There were no differences in MDA levels in BE and DE-0.5, but they were significantly lower in DE-1 and DE-2 of the T group. Overall, the results of this study, suggest that training may improve exercise performance by facilitating the mobilization and oxidation of fat and conserving limited carbohydrate storage, and that it may delay the onset of fatigue and enhance the antioxidative defense system, but cannot support two hours of vigorous exercise.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate single cell protein (SCP), produced from Methylococcus species, as a protein source on the growth performance, carcass traits and gut health of broiler chickens. Methods: Ten iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric diets containing 0 (Control), 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% SCP replacing either soybean meal (T₁ to T₅) or fish meal (T₆ to T₁₀) were formulated. Each diet prepared for starter (0 to 14 days), grower (15 to 21 days), and finisher (22 to 42 days) phases was offered to four replicates of 10 chicks each (n = 400). Growth performance at different phases and carcass characteristics and intestinal morphology on 42nd day of trial were measured. Results: Body weight gain in groups fed 2.5% and 5% SCP diets were comparable to control during different phases and cumulatively, however lower (p<0.01) in 7.5% and 10% SCP diets. Feed conversion ratio was better (p<0.01) in 2.5% and 5% SCP diets. Dressing percentage, abdominal fat percentage and meat:bone ratio were not affected (p>0.05) by SCP inclusion in the diets. However, breast percentage was higher (p<0.01) in 2.5% and 5% SCP groups and thigh percentage higher in 7.5% and 10% SCP groups. Total microbial count in duodenum, jejunum and ileum were not affected (p>0.05) by SCP inclusion up to 10% in diets. Duodenal villi length and crypt depth were highest (p<0.01) in group fed 5% SCP diets and lowest in group fed 10% SCP diets. Jejunal villi length and crypt depth as well as ileal villi length were lowest (p<0.01) in group fed 10% SCP diets. Body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and gut health were better (p<0.01) in broilers fed fish meal based diets compared to soybean meal based diets. Conclusion: It was concluded that inclusion of SCP up to 5% replacing soybean meal in broiler diets is beneficial in improving growth rate, breast yield and gut health status.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of fructose(F) or sucrose(S) and guar gum intake on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in 15-week-old male Goto-Kakizaki(GK) rats. Fifty rats were randomly assigned to 5 groups which were different in carbohydrate(25% of carbohydrate) and fiber(5% w/w) sources. The carbohydrate(CHO) sources of each group were comstarch(control group, 100% of CHO), fructose with cellulose(F), fructose with guar gum(FG), sucrose with cellulose(S), and sucrose with guar gum(SG). Each group was fed exterimental diet for 4 weeks. We measured food intake, body weight gain, adipose tissues weight and organs weight. We conducted oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) and measured plasma insulin concentration to examine carbohydrate metabolism. To evaluate lipid metabolism, we measured the lipid profile of plasma, liver and feces. Food intake and weight gain of FG or SG groups tended to be less than those of F or S groups. Perirenal and epididymal fat pad weights of SG group were significantly lower than those of S group and those of FG group tended to be lower than those of F group. In OGTT, blood glucose values of F or S groups were significantly higher than those of C group, and FG or SG groups tended to be lower than those of F or S groups during the experimental time. The area under the curve(AUC) of C group was significantly highest among the groups, AUC and plasma insulin concentration of FG or SG groups tended to be lower than those of F or S groups. Plasma and hepatic triglyceride (TG) of FG and SG groups were significantly lower than those of F and S groups, plasma and hepatic total lipid(TL) and total cholesterol(TC) of FG and SG groups tended to be lower than those of F and S groups. Fecal TL, TG and TC of FG or SG groups tended to be higher than those of F and S groups. In conclusion, intake of guar gum should improve carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in partial substitution of fructose or sucrose for cornstarch in GK rats.
