The objectives of this study were to determine an optimal cultivation time for populations of yeast and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) co-cultured in fermented milk and effects of soybean meal fermented milk (SBMFM) supplementation on rumen degradability in beef cattle using nylon bag technique. The study on an optimal cultivation time for yeast and LAB growth in fermented milk was determined at 0, 4, 8, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h post-cultivation. After fermenting for 4 days, an optimal cultivation time of yeast and LAB in fermented milk was selected and used for making the SBMFM product to study nylon bag technique. Two ruminal fistulated beef cattle ($410{\pm}10kg$) were used to study on the effect of SBMFM supplementation (0%, 3%, and 5% of total concentrate substrate) on rumen degradability using in situ method at incubation times of 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h according to a Completely randomized design. The results revealed that the highest yeast and LAB population culture in fermented milk was found at 72 h-post cultivation. From in situ study, the soluble fractions at time zero (a), potential degradability (a+b) and effective degradability of dry matter (EDDM) linearly (p<0.01) increased with the increasing supplemental levels and the highest was in the 5% SBMFM supplemented group. However, there was no effect of SBMFM supplement on insoluble degradability fractions (b) and rate of degradation (c). In conclusion, the optimal fermented time for fermented milk with yeast and LAB was at 72 h-post cultivation and supplementation of SBMFM at 5% of total concentrate substrate could improve rumen degradability of beef cattle. However, further research on effect of SBMFM on rumen ecology and production performance in meat and milk should be conducted using in vivo both digestion and feeding trials.

본 연구는 반추위 미생물 발효에 있어서 계면활성제의 이온성 여부가 발효시간별 in vitro 건물소화율, 미생물 성장량, pH 변화, Cas 발생량 및 SEM에 의한 미생물 부착 양상을 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 1 mm 입자도의 볏짚을 기질로 하여 Holstein 젖소 위액을 이용한 Dehority's artificial medium에 대조구를 비롯하여 비이온성 계면활성제(NIS)로서 시판되고 있는 Tween 80과 SOLFA-850 2종류, 그리고 양쪽(+/-) 이온성 계면활성제(ZIS)로서 3-(Dodecyldimethylammonio) propanesulfanate (DDAP) 1 종류를 이용하여 각각 0.05% 및 0.1% 수준으로 첨가함으로써 총 7처리를 두었다. 발효시간은 6, 12, 24, 48 및 72시간으로 설정하여 각 처리 당 3반복으로 시험을 수행하였다. In vitro 건물 소화율은 NIS인 Tween 80 첨가구에서 48시간 및 72시간 발효 시, 타 처리구에 비해 유의적(P<0.05)으로 높았으나, ZIS인 DDAP 첨가구는 발효 24시간이후 부터 대조구보다도 건물소화율이 낮게 나타났다(P< 0.05). 가스 발생량은 NIS 두 처리구 모두, 대조구나 ZIS 처리구보다 유의적(P<0.05)으로 많았으며, 발효시간의 경과함에 따라 증가하였다. 미생물 성장량은 NIS인 Tween 80 첨가구에서 가장 많았고, 다음으로 SOLFA 850 첨가구 순이었으며, ZIS인 DDAP 첨가구는 대조구보다도 적었다(P<0.05). 전자현미경으로 관찰한 미생물 부착 양상에서 NIS 첨가구는 무처리구에 비해 미생물 군집이 현저히 많았으나 ZIS첨가구는 오히려 적은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 양쪽(+/-) 이온성 계면활성제는 반추위 발효 작용과 미생물 성장에 긍정적인 효과가 없는 것으로 사료된다.

지난 20여년 동안 항생제나 화학 요법의 문제점을 줄이고 외부 환경의 변화에 민감하게 반응하는 장내 미생물들의 균총을 유지시켜주기 위해 살아있는 미생물제제(direct-fed microbial agents, DFM)를 반추가축의 사료에 직접 첨가하고 있다. 반추동물 사료에도 생산성을 개선하기 위하여 여러 종류의 DFM이 널리 이용이 되고 있는데, DFM은 건물섭취량(dry matter intake, DMI)의 증가 및 반추위내에서의 영양소 분해율 향상 그리고 유생산량의 증가와 체온감소 등에 효과적이다(Piva 등, 1993; Higginb- otham 등, 1994; MacGilliard와 Stallings, 1998; Nocek와 Kautz, 2006). 대표적인 DFM으로는 효모균, 곰팡이, 박테리아 및 세포 구성물질 등이 이에 속한다(Beharka와 Nagaraja, 1993; Sullivan과 Martin 1999). 효모 및 효모배양물은 대표적인 DFM의 한 종류인데, 반추가축에게 효모(yeast) 및 효모 배양물(yeast culture)을 급여하였을 때 반추위 내 발효 특성을 변화시키고(Harrison 등, 1988; Martin과 Nisbet, 1990) 반추위 내에서 조단백질과 조섬유의 반추위내 분해율을 개선시키며(Gomez-Alarcon 등, 1990; Williams 등, 1991), 체내 전장소화율(Gomez-Alarcon 등, 1990; Wiede- mier 등, 1987)을 향상시키는 효과가 있다고 보고된 바 있다. 한편, 일반적으로 대부분의 Clostridium 균들은 독소를 생산하거나 인체에 유해한 물질들을 생산하여 사람과 가축에게 좋지 않은 영향을 주고 있으나, Clostridium butyricum은 장내 유익한 균으로서 유산균과의 공생이 가능하고 반추위 내에서 주요 VFA 생산에 관여하기도 하며(Araki 등, 2002a, 2002b) 많은 종류의 비타민 B군을 생산하여 유산균이 이용할 수 있게 한다. 또한 생산되어진 acetic acid와 butyric acid는 장관 상피세포를 흡수되어 상피세포에서 에너지원으로 사용되어진다고 하였다(김 등, 2001). 낙산균은 주로 단위동물에서 사용되어 왔는데, 일부 복합생균제의 형태로 사용하였을 경우 유해세균이 장 점막을 침입하는 것을 방지하고(Fuller와 Brooker, 1974), butyric acid를 생산하여 장내 pH를 저하시키며 항균작용(Under-dahl 등, 1982)을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. S. cerevisiae는 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 균주로써 이의 효과와 효능에 관한 연구는 비육우와 착유우를 대상으로 많이 이루어져 왔지만, 낙산균은 일부 국내 젖소 사육농가에서 사용되고 있음에도 불구하고 이에 대한 연구는 단위동물 및 어린송아지의 경우(최 등, 1991)를 제외하고는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구는 S. cerevisiae 및 C. butyricum을 단독으로 또는 혼합하여 급여할 때 면양에서의 반추위내 발효성상과 소화율, 그리고 젖소를 이용한 사양시험을 통해 산유량과 유조성에 미치는 효과를 비교하기 위하여 실시되었다.

옥수수사일리지와 대두 사일리지를 다양한 수준으로 혼합한 사일리지의 in vitro 반추위 발효성상을 평가하는 실험(실험 1)에서 가스발생량은 대두 사일리지의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 배양 48시간을 제외한 모든 발효시간에서 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 암모니아태 질소의 발생량은 배양 24시간에 대두 사일리지 대체율이 증가할수록 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 건물소화율은 배양 6시간을 제외한 전 배양시간에서 대두 사일리지의 첨가량이 감소함에 따라 낮은 경향을 보였고, acetate와 propionate를 비롯한 총 휘발성 지방산 생성량은 대두 사일리지의 함량이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 두번째 실험인 옥수수와 대두 혼합사일리지(4%, 원물기준)를 급여한 육성기 거세한우 사양실험에서 육성기에 옥수수-대두 혼합사일리지 급여구의 증체량과 사료효율이 대조구 및 옥수수 사일리지 처리구와 비교하여 높았다(p<0.05). 또한, 육질등급은 처리구별 유의차가 없었지만 옥수수-대두 혼합사일리지의 급여구에서 가장 우수한 육질등급을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 옥수수 사일리지에 대두 사일리지의 첨가는 반추위 발효에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 옥수수 사일리지를 급여하는 육성기 거세 한우에게 4% 수준의 대두 사일리지 혼합급여는 증체량 및 사료효율에 영향을 미치며, 육질등급의 증가로 고급육 생산에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

The effect on methanogens attached to the surface of rumen ciliate protozoa by the addition of plant extracts (pine needles and ginkgo leaves) was studied with particular reference to their effectiveness for decreasing methane emission. The plant extracts (pine needles and ginkgo leaves) were added to an in vitro fermentation incubated with rumen fluid. The microbial population including bacteria, ciliated-associated methanogen, four different groups of methanogens and Fibrobacter succinogenes were quantified by using the real-time PCR. Gas profiles including methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and runinal fermentation characteristics were observed in vitro. The methane emission from samples with an addition of individual juices from pine needles, ginkgo leaves and 70% ethanol extract from ginko leaves was significantly lower (p<0.05, 27.1, 28.1 and 28.1 vs 34.0 ml/g DM) than that of the control, respectively. Total VFAs in samples with an addition of any of the plant extracts were significantly lower than that of the control (p<0.05) as well. The order Methanococcales and the order Methanosarcinales were not detected by using PCR in any incubated mixtures. The ciliate-associated methanogens population decreased from 25% to 49% in the plant extacts as compared to control. We speculate that the supplementation of juice from pine needles and ginkgo leaves extract (70% ethanol extract) decreased the protozoa population resulting in a reduction of methane emission in the rumen and thus inhibiting methanogenesis. The order Methanobacteriales community was affected by addition of all plant extracts and decreased to less than the control, while the order Methanomicrobiales population showed an increase to more than that of the control. The F. succinogenes, the major fibrolytic microorganism, population in all added plant extracts was increased to greater than that of the control. In conclusion, pine needles and ginkgo leaves extracts appear to have properties that decrease methanogenesis by inhibiting protozoa species and may have a potential for use as additives for ruminants.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutrient composition, in vitro dry matter disappearance (IVDMD) and organic matter disappearance (IVOMD) of three kinds of distillers grains (DG); i) wet distillers grains (WDG, KRW 25/kg), ii) dried distillers grains (DDG, KRW 280/kg), iii) dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS, KRW 270/kg) produced from tapioca 70% and rice 30%, and to evaluate dietary effects of WDG on the performance of Hanwoo steers. In Exp. 1, twelve-WDG, four-DDG and one-DDGS were collected from seven ethanol plants. Average crude protein, crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber of WDG, DDG, and DDGS were: 32.6%, 17.8%, 57.5%, and 30.2% for WDG, 36.7%, 13.9%, 51.4%, and 30.5% for DDG, and 31.0%, 11.9%, 40.3%, and 21.2% for DDGS (DM basis), respectively. The DDGS had a higher quantity of water-soluble fraction than WDG and DDG and showed the highest IVDMD (p<0.05) in comparison to others during the whole experimental time. The IVDMD at 0 to 12 h incubation were higher (p<0.05) in DDG than WDG, but did not show significant differences from 24 to 72 h. The same tendency was observed in IVOMD, showing that DG made from tapioca and rice (7:3) can be used as a feed ingredient for ruminants. Considering the price, WDG is a more useful feed ingredient than DDG and DDGS. In Exp. 2, 36 Hanwoo steers of 21 months ($495.1{\pm}91kg$) were randomly assigned to one of three dietary treatments for 85 days; i) Control (total mixed ration, TMR), ii) WDG 10% (TMR containing 10% of WDG, as fed basis), and iii) WDG 20% (TMR containing 20% of WDG, as fed basis). With respect to body weight and average daily gain, there were no differences between control and WDG treatments during the whole experimental period. Dry matter intake of control (9.34 kg), WDG 10% (9.21 kg) and 20% (8.86 kg) and feed conversion ratio of control (13.0), WDG 10% (13.2) and 20% (12.1) did not show differences between control and WDG treatments. Thus, the use of WDG up to 20% in TMR did not show any negative effect on the performance of Hanwoo steers.

Two in vitro experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of methylcellulose (MC) on i) bacterial detachment from rice straw as well as ii) inhibition of bacterial attachment and fiber digestibility. To evaluate the effect of MC on fibrolytic bacterial detachment (Exp 1), in vitro bacterial cultures with 0.1% (w/v) MC solution were compared with cultures without MC after 8 h incubation. The effect of MC on inhibition of bacterial attachment was determined by comparing with real-time PCR the populations of F. succinogenes, R. flavefaciens and R. albus established on rice straw pre-treated with 0.1% MC with those on untreated straw after incubation for 0, 6 and 12 h (Exp 2). The major fibrolytic bacterial attachment on rice straw showed significantly lower populations with either the addition of MC to the culture or pre-treated rice straw compared to controls (p<0.05). Also, the digestibility of rice straw with MC was significantly lower compared with control (p<0.05). The F. succinogenes population did not show detachment from rice straw, but showed an inhibition of attachment and proliferation on rice straw in accordance with a decrease of fiber digestion. The detachments of Ruminococcus species co-existed preventing the proliferations with subsequent reduction of fiber degradation by MC during the incubation. Their detachments were induced from stable colonization as well as the initial adhesion on rice straw by MC in in vitro ruminal fermentation. Furthermore, the detachment of R. albus was more sensitive to MC than was R. flavefaciens. These results showed the certain evidence that attachment of major fibrolytic bacteria had an effect on fiber digestion in the rumen, and each of fibrolytic bacteria, F. succinogenes, R. flavefaciens and R. albus had a specific mechanism of attachment and detachment to fiber.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of banana flower powder (BAFLOP) supplementation on gas production kinetics and rumen fermentation efficiency in in vitro incubation with different ratios of roughage to concentrate in swamp buffalo and cattle rumen fluid. Two male, rumen fistulated dairy steers and swamp buffaloes were used as rumen fluid donors. The treatments were arranged according to a $2{\times}2{\times}3$ factorial arrangement in a Completely randomized design by using two ratios of roughage to concentrate (R:C; 75:25 and 25:75) and 3 levels of BAFLOP supplementation (0, 2 and 4% of dietary substrate) into two different kinds of rumen fluid (beef cattle and swamp buffalo). Under this investigation, the results revealed that the rumen ecology was affected by R:C ratio. The pH declined as a result of using high concentrate ratio; however, supplementation of BAFLOP could buffer the pH which led to an improvement of ruminal efficiency. BAFLOP supplementation affected acetic acid (C2) when the proportion of concentrate was increased. However, there were no effect on total volatile fatty acid (TVFA) and butyric acid (C4) by BAFLOP supplementation. The microbial community was affected by BAFLOP supplementation, especially the bacterial population. As revealed by real-time PCR, the populations of F. succinogenes and R. albus were reduced by the high concentrate treatments while that of R. flavafaciens were increased. The populations of three dominant cellulolytic bacteria were enhanced by BAFLOP supplementation, especially on high concentrate diet. BAFLOP supplementation did not influence the ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3$-N) concentration, while R:C did. In addition, the in vitro digestibility was improved by either R:C or BAFLOP supplementation. The BAFLOP supplementation showed an effect on gas production kinetics, except for the gas production rate constant for the insoluble fraction (c), while treatments with high concentrate ratio resulted in the highest values. In addition, BAFLOP tended to increase gas production. Based on this study, it could be concluded that R:C had an effect on rumen ecology both in buffalo and cattle rumen fluid and hence, BAFLOP could be used as a rumen buffering agent for enhancing rumen ecology fed on high concentrate diet. It is recommended that level of BAFLOP supplementation should be at 2 to 4% of total dry matter of substrate. However, in vivo trials should be subsequently conducted to investigate the effect of BAFLOP in high concentrate diets on rumen ecology as well as ruminant production.
