This study was performed to investigate the effect of beet plup and IRG (Italian ryegrass) dry powder in fattening pig diet on reducing concentration of odorous compounds in the pig slurry. Fifty fattening boars [(Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire) ${\times}$ Duroc] were randomly assigned to one of 3 treatments (control, beet plup 5%, and IRG 5%). Pigs (BW 50~110 kg) were fed diets formulated to meet the Korean Feeding Standard (2012) and their excretion was collected from the slurry pits. Short chain fatty acid (SCFA) and branched chain fatty acid (BCFA) were higher in beet plup (31,786, 3,985 ppm) and IRG (32,755, 4,261 ppm) treatments, which was not different among treatments (p>0.05), compared to control (p<0.05). Concentrations of phenols and indoles were highest in beet plup (183.83, 168.59 ppm) and IRG (9.32, 8.92 ppm) treatments. Altogether, addition level of two contents was not appropriate to decrease concentration of odorous compounds.

15종의 주요 한약제 부산물을 용량별(1.0%, 3.0%, 7.0%)로 사육용 돼지에 출하하기 30일 및 45일 전부터 투여하여 성인병의 예방과 생테 방어 시스템에 미치는 영향을 한약제 부산물 무첨가의 대조군과 비교.평가하였다. 체중 증가율 한약제 부산물 3.0% 투여군으로 서 45일이 가장 높았고 30일 투여도 상당한 효과가 인정되었지만, 사료 섭취량은 상대적으로 낮았다. 또 한약제 부산물 투여군은 대조군에 비하여 배설물의 악취는 감소한 반면 항생제 투여가 필요없을 정도로 발육상태가 양호하였고, 육질과 맛이 우수하였다. 트리클리세리트의 함량은 3.0% 한약제 부산물 투여군은 거의 같은 효과를 나타내고 있었지만, 총 콜레스테롤의 함량은 3.0% 한약제 투여군의 출하 30일전부터 투여하는 것이 가장 현저히 감소하였다. LDL-콜레스테롤 함량과 동맥경화지수도 1.0%이상의 한약제 부산물 투여군은 다？이 유의적으로 감소하고 있었다. 말론디알데히니(MDA)와 hydroxyl radical의 생성량도 1.0% 이상의 한약제 부산물 투여군이 거의 같은 경향으로 억제하고 있었다. 생테 방어시스템과 관계괴는 수퍼옥시 디스무타이제(SOD) 활성은 3.0% 한약제부산물 투여군으로서 출하하기 30일전부터 투여하는 것이 가장 효과적으로 증가하였다. 그러나 HDL-콜레스테롤의 함량은 한약제 부산물 투여군에서 출하하기 45일 전부터 투여하는 것만이 효과적으로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 한약제 부산물을 사료에 3.0%정도 첨가하여 출하하기 30일전부터 투여했을 겨우, 고기의 육질과 맛도 좋고 성인병의 원인 물질을 현저히 감소할 수 있기 때문에 한약제 부산물을 사용한 기능성 돈육의 생산은 매우 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

This research was conducted to investigate the effects on the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus and the number of maggots in the feces from the experimental pigs fed probiotics additives, and the variance of NH3-concentration(ppm) generated in the experimental pig-pens. The experiment was performed twice in the W-farm(under the condition of sufficient energy and protein in Spring) and B-farm(insufficient energy and protein in Summer). The experiment was designed with 5 treatments (control and 4 treatments according to the kinds of additives used). In the W-farm experiment, 75 three-way crossbred pigs weighing average 38kg were randomized with 3 replications for 102 days. In the B-farm experiment, 105 three-way crossbred pigs weighing average 33kg were randomized with 3 replications for 130 days. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The amount of dry matter, organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus in the feces was not significantly different among the treatments. But the amount of OM, N and P shows a tendency to be somewhat lowered in the treatment A. On the otherhand, the amount of dry matter was somewhat lowered in the treatment B. The amount of such matters in the W-farm was somewhat lowered than those in B-farm. But there was not significant difference between W-farm and B-farm. 2. On the variance of the number of maggots developed in the pig's feces according to each treatment, the number of maggots in the treatments added probiotics were markedly decreased in comparison with those of the control(T), and it was significantly different(p＜0.01). Especially the decrease in the treatment A and B was much remarkable. 3. The addition of probiotics to the pigs' feeds made the NH3-concentration generated in the pig-pens decrease markedly. especially the NH3-concentration in the treatment A had the highest decreasing ratio among all the treatments. The decreasing ratio of NH3-concentration of the treatments added probiotics as compared to control(T) was 59.1∼80.0%(average 70.3%) in the treatment A, 56.8∼80.0%(ave. 68.5%) in the treatment B and 24.4∼46.0%(ave. 35.0%) in the treatment C and D. On the variance of the NH3-concentration according to the experimental times)seasonal conditions), the NH3-concentration generated in the pig-pens was gradually increased from April to August, on the other hand it was decreased in the September. By the result of this study, it was appeared that the probiotics added to the pigs' feeds made the NH3-concentration decrease in the pig-pens to the extent of safety degree(25 ppm and less) permitted to swine especially in the treatment A and B.

Korean Native Pig (KNP) has a uniform black coat color, excellent meat quality, white colored fat, solid fat structure and good marbling. However, its growth performance is low, while the western origin Yorkshire pig has high growth performance. To take advantage of the unique performance of the two pig breeds, we raised crossbreeds (KNP ${\times}$ Yorkshire to make use of the heterotic effect. We then analyzed the liver transcriptome as it plays an important role in fat metabolism. We sampled at two stages: 10 weeks and at 26 weeks. The stages were chosen to correspond to the change in feeding system. A total of 16 pigs (8 from each stage) were sampled and RNA sequencing was performed. The reads were mapped to the reference genome and differential expression analysis was performed with edgeR package. A total of 324 genes were found to be significantly differentially expressed (${\left|log2FC\right|}$ > 1 & q < 0.01), out of which 180 genes were up-regulated and 144 genes were down-regulated. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed that the samples clustered according to stages. Functional annotation of significant DEGs (differentially expressed genes) showed that GO terms such as DNA replication, cell division, protein phosphorylation, regulation of signal transduction by p53 class mediator, ribosome, focal adhesion, DNA helicase activity, protein kinase activity etc. were enriched. KEGG pathway analysis showed that the DEGs functioned in cell cycle, Ras signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway etc. Twenty-nine transcripts were also part of the DEGs, these were predominantly Cys2His2-like fold group (C2H2) family of zinc fingers. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis showed that there were three highly interconnected clusters, suggesting an enrichment of genes with similar biological function. This study presents the first report of liver tissue specific gene regulation in a cross-bred Korean pig.

가축의 생체중은 건강 및 사육 환경 관리에 중요한 정보이고 이를 통해 최적 사료량이나 출하 시기 등을 결정하게 된다. 일반적으로 가축의 무게를 측정할 때 체중계를 이용하지만, 체중계를 이용한 가축 무게를 측정하는데 상당한 인력과 시간이 필요하고 성장 단계별 측정이 어려워 사료급이량 조절 등의 효과적인 사육 방법이 적용되지 못하는 단점이 있다. 본 연구는 축산 양돈 분야에 영상 및 이미지 데이터를 수집, 분석, 학습, 예측 등을 통해 포유자돈, 이유자돈, 육성돈, 비육돈 구간별 체중 측정에 관한 연구와 함께 정확도를 높이고자 하였다. 이를 위해 파이토치(pytorch), YOLO(you only look once) 5 모델, 사이킷런(scikit learn) 라이브러리를 사용하여 학습시킨 결과, 실제치(actual)와 예측치(prediction) 그래프에서 RMSE(root mean square error) 0.4%와 MAPE(mean absolute percentage error) 0.2%로 유사한 흐름을 확인할 수 있다. 이는 양돈 분야의 포유자돈, 이유자돈, 육성돈, 비육돈 구간에서 활용할 수 있으며 다각도로 학습된 이미지 및 영상 데이터와 실제 측정된 체중 데이터를 바탕으로 지속적인 정확도 향상이 가능하고 향후 영상판독을 통해 돼지의 부유별 생산량에 대한 예측으로 효율적인 사육관리가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The effects of feeding diets containing 20% (L) or 30% (H) neutral detergent fiber (NDF) (DM basis) on performance and carcass traits were studied in three breeds of pig, including pure Mong Cai (MC), crossbred Landrace$\times$Yorkshire (LY) and crossbred MC$\times$Yorkshire (F1). The experiment had a factorial design with two factors, breed and diet. Eighteen piglets of each breed ($60{\pm}3days$) were randomly allocated to three treatments: L-L, low fiber diet in both growing and finishing periods; L-H, low and high fiber diet in the growing and finishing period, respectively; and H-H, high fiber diet in both periods. The diets were iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous within feeding period. The main fibrous ingredients of the diets were rice bran and cassava residue. There were no effects of fiber level on daily dry matter feed intake (DMI), expressed as g/kg metabolic body weight (BW0.75), in both feeding periods (p>0.05). DMI was highest for MC, followed by F1 and LY (p<0.001). Average daily gain (ADG) in L-L and L-H was higher than in H-H in the growing period (p<0.001) and overall (p<0.05), while feed conversion ratio (FCR) was higher in H-H than in L-L and L-H in the growing period (p<0.05) and overall, but no significant differences between treatments were found in the finishing period. In both periods, Landrace$\times$Yorkshire had the highest ADG and the lowest FCR, followed by F1 and Mong Cai (p<0.001). There were no interactions between breed and diet for performance and carcass traits. Carcass and dressing percentage was lower for L-H and H-H than for L-L (p<0.05). There were no significant differences among treatments in back fat thickness and lean meat percentage, or in crude protein and ether extract contents of lean meat. Carcass, dressing and lean meat percentage was highest for LY, lowest for MC and intermediate for F1 (p<0.001). It can be concluded that feeding a high fiber diet in the growing period reduced pig performance, but there was no effect in the finishing period. Pure Mong Cai pigs are not particularly suitable for meat purposes, although the F1 cross with Large White had reasonably good growth performance and carcass quality.

The effects of housing and nutrition on the performance of first lactation sows of the Nepalese Pakhribas breed were investigated. A total of 36 sows, from a previous experiment on nutrition during gilt rearing, were allocated according to a factorial design with 2 levels of nutrition, 60 or 80% of the calculated lactation requirement, and two types of housing, traditional or improved. The mean live weight loss of sows during lactation was reduced to a slightly greater extent by improved housing (p<0.05) than by better nutrition (p<0.10). There was also a significantly lower loss of $P_2$ backfat thickness (p<0.05) and mean body condition score (p<0.05) for sows on the higher plane of nutrition. Piglet weight gain in early and mid lactation was influenced by gestation feeding of the gilt (p<0.10) and by housing (p<0.05). Late lactation gain was influenced only by lactation feeding (p<0.05). In consequence, piglet weight at 42 day weaning was increased to a similar extent by improved housing (p<0.05) and better lactation nutrition (p<0.01). Significantly more sows were remated by day 10 after weaning from a higher level of rearing nutrition ($x^2=13.57$, p=0.001), and from improved housing and improved lactation (both $x^2=4.57$, p=0.033). It is concluded that, under Nepalese village conditions, improvements in housing may be a more cost effective way of improving sow performance than expenditure on additional feed resources.

This study was done to investigate the effects of the incorporation of Achyranthes japonica extracts (AJE) in diet on the production parameters of growing pigs. Exp 1: Total, 105 crossbred pigs (average body weight: 24.47 ± 2.46 kg) were used in a 6-week feeding trial. Pigs (seven replicates, five pigs per pen) were allotted randomly to three treatments. Dietary treatments: CON (basal diet); basal diet with 0.025% AJE, and basal diet + 0.050% AJE). Growth performance, nutrient digestibility, fecal microbial count, and fecal noxious gas were assessed in this study. Average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), and gain to feed ratio (G:F) were not affected by the addition of up to 0.05% AJE. In the case of apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD), dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N), and digestible energy (DE) were not changed in 3rd and 6th weeks of the feeding trial through the addition of AJE up to 0.05% in the growing pig diet. In microbial count, Lactobacillus and Escherichia coli count at 3rd and 6th week was similar in all the treatment diets. The inclusion of AJE at levels up to 0.05% in growing pig diet had no effect on the production of NH3, H2S, acetic acid, and CO₂ in the feces. After ending the Exp 1, a total of nine pigs were divided into three treatment groups. Treatment diets were included, TRT1, basal diet + powder quercetin 30 g; TRT2, basal diet + powder quercetin 150 g; TRT3, basal diet + powder quercetin 300g. Rate of absorption in blood was increased with the higher dose of quercetin. The results suggested incorporation of AJE up to 0.05% has no significant effect on ADG, ADFI, and G:F, as well as DM, N, and DE digestibility, fecal microbial count, and fecal noxious gas emission in growing pigs, even though no negative effect was found.

본 연구는 계절과 성 분리가 생산성, 스트레스, 도체품질 및 육질에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 여름과 겨울로 계절을 나누고 각 계절별 암컷구, 거세 수컷구 및 혼합구를 설정하고 평균체중 $82.1{\pm}0.82kg$인 삼원교잡$(LY{\times}D)$ 비육돈 270두를 공시하여 비육돈 생산성과 출하 과정의 스트레스 및 도체품질과 육질을 분석하였다. 사료섭취량은 겨울에 많았고 증체 또한 겨울에 우수하였다 (p<0.05). 성 분리는 사료요구율에 영향을 미치며, 겨울과 혼합구가 양호한 것으로 나타났다 (p<0.05). 상차 후 혈중 cortisol과 CPK치가 급격하게 상승하는 것으로 나타나 상차시 극도의 스트레스가 주어지는 것으로 나타났다. 상차시 급격한 상승을 보였던 혈중 cortisol과 CPK 농도는 수송과정에 낮아지며, 3시간 계류 후에는 출하 전 수준으로 안정되었다. 상차 후 계절 관계없이 혼합구가 가장 높은 cortisol 농도를 보여 돈 방내에서의 수준을 유지하는 경향을 나타내었고 거세 수컷 혹은 암컷만으로 구성된 돈 군간에는 차이가 없었다. 도체품질은 겨울에 우수하였고 PSE 발생율 또한 겨울이 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 여름철 거세 수컷구가 가장 높은 PSE 발생율을 나타내었으나 겨울철 혼합구는 가장 낮게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 계절과 성 분리가 돼지고기의 pH, drip loss 및 육색 등 육질에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 요약하면 여름철에 비육돈 관리 특히 출하취급에 보다 세심한 배려가 필요하며, 성 분리는 관리자, 시설 등 농장여건에 따라 적용 여부를 결정하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

These experiments were conducted to evaluate the feeding value of rice protein concentrate (RPC) in weaning pigs. In expt. I, a 5-week feeding trial was conducted with 126 pigs (L${\times}$Y${\times}$D; 21 d-old; 5.32${\pm}$0.34 kg). Treatments were spray-dried plasma protein (SDPP; control), soy protein concentrate (SPC) and RPC (phase 1), and dried porcine soluble (DPS; control), SPC and RPC (phase 2). An ileal digestibility trial was also conducted to compare digestibility of amino acids in the tested protein sources. In expt. II, 160 weaning pigs (L${\times}$Y${\times}$D; 21 d-old; 5.65${\pm}$0.35 kg) were used in a 5-week feeding trial to determine the optimal inclusion level of RPC in the diet. Treatments were control (9% SPC), and three levels of RPC instead of SPC in the diets (3, 6 and 9%). During phase 1, pigs fed SDPP showed better (p<0.05) ADG and FCR compared with those fed SPC or RPC, while there was no difference in ADFI among treatments. During phase 2, however, pigs fed DPS showed lower (p<0.05) ADG than those fed SPC or RPC. During the total period, there were no significant differences in ADG, ADFI and FCR among treatments. The apparent ileal digestibilities of his, lys, phe, thr and met were not different among the tested protein sources. The apparent ileal digestibilities of arg, ile, leu and val were lower (p<0.05) in RPC than SDPP. The true ileal digestibilities of arg and leu were lower (p<0.05) in RPC than SDPP and SPC. However, that of met was higher (p<0.05) in RPC than SDPP. In expt. II, there were no significant differences in ADG and FCR when SPC was substituted with RPC up to 9% during the total period. In conclusion, based on our experimental results, RPC would replace SPC in the complex prestarter diet, which is somewhat cheaper than SPC.
