This study was carried out to examine properties of water resistant plywood by using serum protein adhesive which is natural, environment-friendly and human-friendly. For the preparation of the serum protein adhesive, pig blood from slaughterhouse was centrifuged and serum was separated from corpuscles and concentrated to 30% by dry weight basis. This concentrated serum protein was modified with PF resin (50% NVC) with the ratio of 9 : 2.5. Plywood made by this modified serum protein gave 1.21 N/$mm^2$ of dry bonding strength, 0.80 N/$mm^2$ of wet boil bonding strength, 0% of cyclic delamination test value, and 0.025 ppm of HCHO emission, which met the excellent super $E_0$ grade and water resistant plywood.

본 연구는 도축 폐기물인 가축혈액의 이용을 위해 사료첨가제로서 혈분 성분이 함유된 유산균 probiotics의 생산을 목적으로 하여 수행되었다. 혈액으로부터 얻은 혈장을 질소원으로 이용한 BBPB 배지에, 시판 중인 미생물 사료첨가제로부터 분리된 probiotics용 Lactobacillus sp.를 배양하여 대조구인 MRS배지의 74%에 이르는 높은 생균수를 얻을 수 있었다. 얻어진 배양액의 동결 건조는 배양시간, 배양액의 pH보정, 배양액의 농축, 급속동결 등의 조건에 의해 균체의 생존율이 영향을 받았으며, 24시간 배양한 배양액을 pH 6.4로 보정한 뒤 10배로 농축하여 -5$0^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 동안 동결한 후 건조하는 조건으로 최적화되었다. BBPB 배지에 잔여하는 혈장 단백질 성분은 유산균의 동결건조 안정화 효과도 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났고 그 수준은 MRS와 유사하였다. 제제화를 위한 동결건조 안정제로는 Sucrose가 높은 효과를 나타내었고 10%첨가시 48.3%의 생존율로 $3.0{\times}^{10}$ CFU/g의 유산균 제제를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서의 동결건조조건을 이용하면 도축 폐혈액을 이용한 problotics의 산업적 생산이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of short road transportation in an open truck during hot season on live weight shrink, physiological responses, and carcass and meat quality of Omani sheep at 6 and 12 months of age. Thirty-six male sheep, 18 of each age group, were used. Age groups were assigned randomly to transported and not-transported groups. The transported group was transported to the slaughterhouse the day of slaughter in an open truck covering a distance of approximately 100 km. The average temperature during transportation was $37^{\circ}C$. The not-transported group was kept in a lairage of a commercial slaughterhouse with ad libitum feed and water for 48 h prior to slaughter. Blood samples were collected from sheep before loading and prior to slaughter via jugular venipuncture to assess their physiological response to transport in relation to hormonal levels. Animals were weighed just before loading onto a truck and after transport to assess shrinkage. Muscle ultimate pH, expressed juice, cooking loss percentage, WB-shear force value, sarcomere length and colour L*, a*, b* were measured on samples from longissimus dorsi, biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles collected at 24 h postmortem at $1-3^{\circ}C$. Live weight shrinkage losses were 1.09 and 1.52 kg for 6 and 12 month transported sheep, respectively. The transported sheep had significantly (p<0.05) higher cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine concentration levels prior to slaughter at both ages than the not-transported sheep. Transportation significantly influenced meat quality characteristics of three muscles. Muscle ultimate pH and shear force values were significantly higher, while CIE L*, a*, b*, expressed juice and cooking loss were lower in transported than not-transported sheep. Age had a significant effect on meat quality characteristics of Omani sheep. These results indicated that short-term pre-slaughter transport at high ambient temperatures can cause noticeable changes in physiological and muscle metabolism responses in sheep.

Recently, a high level of dietary crude protein (CP) has become of interest as a possible practice to improve the carcass quality of beef cattle, and its level has been increasing in the field. However, there is little scientific evidence that supports this. This study was conducted to test whether a high dietary CP level would improve growth performance, body metabolism, and carcass traits in Hanwoo beef cattle. A total of 32 Hanwoo finishing beef cattle (18 multiparous cows, six heifers, and eight steers) participated in a 12-weeks feeding trial. Two kinds of total mixed rations were prepared to contain two different CP; 156 g/kg for the control (CON) and 173 g/kg of CP for the treatment (HCP), while maintaining a similar level of metabolizable energy. The experiment was ended when more than half of the steers reached the target body weight (730 kg). Blood was collected at the end of the experiment. After harvesting, the carcass trait was evaluated at the slaughterhouse according to Korean standards. The carcass yield score and grade were also calculated based on revised criteria. Overall, dry matter intake, average daily gain, blood metabolites concentration, and the carcass traits, except for backfat thickness and the yield score, did not differ between the treatments. The HCP had lower backfat thickness than those of CON. There was no difference in the carcass yield grade, but the yield score was higher in the HCP treatment. According to the newly revised carcass grading criteria, both yield score and grade were higher in HCP than in CON. Increasing CP supply decreased the carcass's backfat thickness without altering growth performance and body metabolism, resulting in improved yield score and grade. Therefore, feeding a high CP diet may be beneficial in the farm income, although it may also increase feed cost and nitrogen excretion to the environment.

Brucellosis and tuberculosis are major infectious and contagious bacterial diseases in cattle. These diseases are malicious diseases that must be inspected at the slaughterhouse of cattle in accordance with the practice of quarantine in Korea. Furthermore, both diseases lead to abortion, reproductive disorder, and calf disease, causing major difficulty in the breeding of Korean Native cattle (Hanwoo), a representative industrial animal currently being raised in Korea. Co-infections of these diseases intensify clinical symptoms such as abortion and have a particularly significant effect on increasing mortality. Thus, serological tests were performed in Hanwoo, to establish the association of co-infection between brucellosis and tuberculosis in cattle. ELISA and PCR tests were conducted on blood samples collected from a total of 102 cattle in Jeonnam province, Korea, to detect brucellosis and tuberculosis infections. The PCR results revealed that 41 samples tested positive for Brucella abortus (B. abortus) infection (40.20%), and 5 samples tested positive for Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) (4.90%) infection confirmed by PCR. Notably, 9.76% (4/41) of the cattle infected with brucellosis also tested positive for tuberculosis. In conclusion, this study highlights the co-infection of brucellosis and tuberculosis among Hanwoo cattle in Jeonnam province, which is expected to contribute to our understanding of disease transmission, pathogenicity, the establishment of future prevention strategies.

The objective of the study was to compare the carcass characteristics, meat quality, and blood parameters of slow and fast grown female broiler chickens fed in organic or conventional production system. The two genotypes tested were medium slow-growing chickens (SG, Hubbard Red JA) and commercial fast-growing chickens (FG, Ross 308). Both genotypes (each represented by 400 chickens) were divided into two sub-groups fed either organic (O) or conventional (C) systems. Chickens of each genotype and system were raised in a semi environmentally controlled poultry house until 21 d of age and were assigned to 5 pens of 40 chickens each. Then, O system chickens were transferred into an open-side poultry house with an outdoor run. At 81 d of age, 10 female chickens from each genotype and from each production system (n = 40) were randomly chosen to provide material for analysis, and were weighed and brought to the slaughterhouse to assess carcass characteristics and meat quality. The blood parameters were determined by using 5 female chickens from each genotype and from each production system (n = 20). FG had the higher live weight, along with carcass, breast, and thigh-drumstick weights compared to SG (p<0.05). FG had the higher breast yield, whereas SG had the higher thigh-drumstick yield (p<0.05). The O system resulted in a higher amount of abdominal fat (p<0.05). In addition, the O system values were higher for dry matter, crude ash, crude protein, and $pH^{15}$ values in breast meat, and for crude ash, crude protein, and $pH^{15}$ values in drumstick meat (p<0.05). In addition, total saturated fatty acids, total mono-unsaturated fatty acids, and total omega 3 were significantly higher in the O system than in the C system. Thus, the O system showed a positive advantage compared to the C system regarding female chicken meat quality, primarily within the ash, protein, and total omega 3 fatty acid profiles. In conclusion, the present study indicated that the main factor affecting the carcass characteristics of female chickens was genotype, whereas the organic system contributed to enhanced meat quality. These findings provide a better understanding of the relative roles of genotype and production systems in female broiler characteristics, and might aid producers in designing their facilities to optimize yield and quality while maintaining acceptable animal welfare standards.

Sera from 304 Holsteins or Korean native cattle were collected from slaughterhouse in Kwangju area to study the infection of major virus-borne diseases. Serum antibody titers against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus(IBRV), bovine viral diarrhea virus(BVDV), parainfluenza type-3 virus(PI-3V), bovine ephemeral fever virus(BEFV), bovine Ibaraki virus(BIV), bovine Akabane virus(BAKV), bovine rotavirus(BRV), bovine coronavirus(BCV) were measured by serum neutralization tests. Results which obtained were as follows. Sera from 280 cattle(92.1%) contained antibodies against BRV which rate was the highest among the 8 viruses, and serum antibodies against BCV, BVDV, BIV, BAKV, BEFV, IBRV and PI-3V were detected from 266(87.5%), 149(49%), 108(35.5%), 94(30.9%), 80(26.3%), 32(10.5%) and 24(7.9%) cattle, respectively. Prevalence of seropositives to BVDV, BIV, BAKV, BEFV were higher among Holsteins than among the Korean native cattle(P<0.05). Prevalence of antibody titers against BVDV, BIV and BEFV in Korean native cattle were higher among females than males, while more males contained antibodies to BAKV, IBRV and PI-3V than females in their blood(P<0.05). Seropositives to BVDV, BIV, BAKV, BEFV and IBRV in Holsteins were higher among females than males(P<0.05). In Korean native cattle, serum antibody titers against IBRV and PI-3V ranged from 1:2~1:32 and 1:2~1:64, respectively, while serum antibody titers against the rest 6 viruses ranged from $1:2{\sim}1:{\geq}256$. In Holsteins, serum antibody titers against IBRV and PI-3V ranged from 1:2~1:64 and 1:2~1:32, respectively, while serum antibody titers against the rest 6 viruses ranged from $1:2{\sim}1:{\geq}256$.
