The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of rice straw mat, rice straw mat with PAM (Polyacrylamide) and gypsum addition on surface runoff and sediment discharge in field. Six experimental plots of $5{\times}22m$ in size and 3 % in slope prepared on gravelly sandy loam soil were treated with control, rice straw mat cover with gypsum and rice straw mat cover with gypsum and PAM. Radish in Spring and Chinese cabbage in autumn growing seasons were cultivated. Non point source (NPS) pollution discharge was monitored and compared among the treatments. Rainfall of the 10 monitored events ranged from 17.0 mm to 93.5 mm. Runoff coefficient of the events was 0.005~0.239 in control plot, 0~0.176 in rice straw plot with gypsum and 0~0.046 in rice straw mat plot with gypsum and PAM. When compared to the control plot, the runoff amount was reduced by 10.4~100 % (Ave. 60.8) in rice straw plot with gypsum and 80.7~100 % (Ave. 96.7 %) in rice straw mat plot with gypsum and PAM. The reduction of NPS pollution load was 54.6 % for BOD5, 71.5 % for SS, 41.6 % for TN and 61.4 % for T-P in rice straw with gypsum plot and 91.9 % for BOD5, 92.0 % for SS, 88.0 % for TN and 88.5 % for T-P in rice straw mat with gypsum and PAM plot. This research revealed that rice straw mat cover with soil amendments on the soil surface could not only increase the crop yield but also reduce the NPS pollution loads substantially.

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of diets containing coarse-texture rice straw and small particle size alfalfa pellets as a part of total mixed ration (TMR) on milk productivity and chewing activity in lactating dairy cows. Sixteen multiparous Holstein dairy cows ($670{\pm}21kg$ body weight) in mid-lactation ($194.1{\pm}13.6$ days in milk) were randomly assigned to TMR containing 50% of timothy hay (TH) or TMR containing 20% of rice straw and 30% of alfalfa pellet mixture (RSAP). Geometric mean lengths of TH and RSAP were found to be 5.8 and 3.6, respectively. Dry matter intake, milk yield and milk composition were measured. Moreover, eating and ruminating times were recorded continuously using infrared digital camcorders. Milk yield and milk composition were not detected to have significant differences between TH and RSAP. Dry matter intake (DMI) did not significantly differ for cows fed with TH or RSAP. Although particle size of TH was larger than RSAP, eating, ruminating and total chewing time (min/d or min/kg of DMI) on TH and RSAP were similar. Taken together, our results suggest that using a proper amount of coarse-texture rice straw with high value nutritive alfalfa pellets may stimulate chewing activity in dairy cows without decreasing milk yield and composition even though the quantity of rice straw was 40% of TH.

Eight crop residues : 1, sorghum (Sorqhum bicolor) straw, 2, maize (Zea mays) straw, 3, cotton (Gossypium Sp.) straw, 4, sunflower (Helianthus Sp.) straw, 5, cotton (Gossypium Sp.) seed hulls, 6, groundnut (Archais hypogaea) hulls, 7, maize (Zea mays) cobs, 8, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) bagasse and two forest grasses 9, Heteropogan contortus dry grass and 10, Sehima nervosum dry grass were subjected to three physical processing 1, chopping (2-3 cm) 2, grinding (8 mm sieve) and 3, pelleting (10 mm die holes). The processed material was fed ad lib. Along with 250 g of concentrate mixture per head per day to 6 adult local goats and 16 adult Nellore rams in ten digestion experiments and finally assessed the nutritive value of the processed roughages by difference method. Grinding increased bulk density by 32.4 (cotton seed hulls, CSH) to 88.1% (Sehima dry grass) while pelleting of ground material increased bulk density by 53.9 (maize cobs) to 235.8% (maize straw). The average particle size ranged from $584.1/^U$ (sorghum straw) to $1467/^U$ (CSH). Modulus of uniformity ranged from 2:5:3 (sorghum straw) to 7:2:1 (CSH) while modulus of fineness ranged from 3.4 (sorghum straw) to 5.4 (CSH). Molasses absorbability was highest with cotton seed hulls and least with maize cobs. Pelleting increased DM intake of the residues except cotton seed hulls compared to grinding. Grinding of chopped material/unprocessed material increased DM intake on sorghum straw and cotton seed hulls. Sheep consumed more DM compared to goats on all the residues except sorghum and sunflower straws. Pelleting increased nutritive value of all the residues compared to grinding and chopping. However, no difference was observed in the nutritive value due to grinding and chopping. Goats performed better compared to sheep in utilizing the fibrous residues.

This study is performed to examine the physical and mechanical properties of Eco-concrete using rice straw ash for planting. The tests for void ratio, compressive and bending strength with neutralization treatment point, curing condition and coarse aggregate size are performed. The test result shows that the void ratio is decreased with increasing content of rice straw ash. But, the compressive and bending strength are increased with increasing content of rice straw ash. The greatest strength is appeared when neutralization is treated in curing age of 6 days. These Eco-concrete is very useful for planting.

본 연구는 돼지에서 동결정액을 이용한 번식능력을 개선하기 위한 동결정액 포장재료의 효과를 구명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 본 시험에는 축산기술연구소 종축개량부 (충남, 성환)의 인공수정센터에서 사육중인 종모돈이 사용되었다. 기존의 돼지 동결정액 포장방법인 maxi-straw 동결정액 포장방법과 5$m\ell$빈 cryogenic-vial 및 aluminum-pack 포장방법을 비교한 결과 cryogenic-vial로 포장하여 액체질소 상단 15cm에서 동결한 후 52$^{\circ}C$ water bath에서 190초 융해한 방법이 기존의 maxi-straw 방법과 비슷한 결과를 나타내었다. Cyogenic-vial 포장방법의 동결-응해 방법을 설정하기 위하여 융해시간을 달리하여 시험한 결과 액체질소 상단 15cm에서 동결하고 52$^{\circ}C$에서 190초 간 융해하였을 때 정자운동성이 120초 및 150초 응해시 보다 우수하였다 (P<0.05). 그러나 정상첨체비율은 응해시간 간에 차이가 없었다. 52$^{\circ}C$에서 45초간 응해 한 maxi-straw 포장방법과 52$^{\circ}C$에서 190초 융해한 cryogenic-vial 포장방법간에 정액성상을 비교한 결과 총정자운동성과 정자의 빠르기는 maxi-straw가 우수하였다 (P<0.05). 그러나 직진성과 정상첨체비율은 두 포장방법간에 차이가 없었다. 동결정액 포장방법별 인공수정시 번식성적은 maxi-straw 동결정액이 cryogenic-vial 동결정 액보다 수태율, 분만율, 그리고 산자수가 높았으나 통계적 유의차는 인정되지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 cryogenic-vial 포장 방법의 동결 및 음해방법을 좀 더 연구개발하면 기존의 maxi-straw포장방법을 대체하여 실용화 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, we investigated the physical properties of powders made from agricultural byproducts, including rice straw, peanut husks, and garlic stems, to manufacture a new organic filler used for making paperboard. These materials were collected individually, and then we measured their chemical compositions. The byproducts were ground with a laboratory grinder and fractionated with 60-, 100-, and 200-mesh sieves to make many grades of organic fillers. After the grinding and fractionation, the yield, mean particle size, and particle size distribution of each grade were measured. Particle shapes were also investigated using a scanning electron microscope. The organic filler made from rice straw had the highest yield of the largest particle size group and higher contents of cellulose and hemicellulose than those made from peanut husks and garlic stems. The rice straw also showed more regular particle shapes and a lower aspect ratio than the other agricultural byproducts.

본 연구는 유기질 멀칭에 의해 배 '신고' 과실 품질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해서 수행되었다. 볏짚 멀칭은 엽중 칼륨, 마그네슘, 칼슘 함량을 높였지만 모두 적정농도 이하의 수준을 나타냈다. 과실의 경도는 참나무껍질에 의해 증가하였고 당도는 참나무껍질과 볏짚에 의해 증가하였다. 참나무 껍질은 가장 높은 당산비를 보였고 진한 붉은 계열의 과피색을 착색시켰다. 과실의 칼륨은 볏짚에서 칼슘은 참나무껍질에서 가장 높았으나, 두 무기성분간의 과실 내 흡수에 있어서 길항작용이 있었던 것으로 판단된다. 일반적으로, 과실 품질을 향상시켰던 유기질 멀칭 자재인 참나무껍질과 볏짚은 석세포 함량을 감소시켰고 유기질이 투입되지 않는 폴리에틸렌은 대조구와 비슷한 석세포 함량을 보였다. 따라서 과원 내 유기질이 투입된 멀칭 시용은 과실 품질을 부분적으로 향상시켰고 과실의 씹힘성을 저해하는 석세포를 감소시켜서 과실의 품질 개선에 기여한 것으로 판단된다.

The objective of this research was to experimentally test the effect of rice straw mats on the reduction of runoff, sediment discharge and turbidity under a laboratory scale. We used the small runoff plots of 1 m ${\times}$ 1 m ${\times}$ 0.65 m ($L{\times}W{\times}H$) in size filled with loamy sand. Experimental treatments were bare (control), rice straw mat cover of straw mats + PAM + Gypsum (SPG), rice straw mats + Chaff + PAM + Gypsum (SCPG) and rice straw mats + Sawdust + PAM + Gypsum (SSPG); slope of 10 % or 20 %; and rainfall intensity of 30 mm/hr. Runoff volume and rate of covered plots were significantly lower than those of control plot. Average runoff rate of covered plots, slope of 10 % and 20 %, decreased 85.6 % and 72 % in respectively. Sediment reduction ratio was more than 99 % regardless of slope. The differences runoff and sediment discharge among different cover materials were not significant. It was also shown that even if runoff reduction by surface cover were low, sediment discharge reduction could be very significant and contribute to improve the water quality of streams in sloping agricultural regions. It was concluded that the use of straw mat and soil amendments (PAM and Gypsum) on sloping agricultural fields could reduce soil erosion and muddy runoff significantly and help improve the water quality and aquatic ecosystem in receiving waters. But mixing effect of PAM and Gypsum was minimal.

Effects of particle size and physical effective fibre (peNDF) of rice straw in diets on chewing activities, feed intake, flow, site and extent of digestion and rumen fermentation in goats were investigated. A 4${\times}$4 Latin square design was employed using 4 mature Liuyang black goats fitted with permanent ruminal, duodenal, and terminal ileal fistulae. During each of the 4 periods, goats were offered 1 of 4 diets that were similar in nutritional content but varied in particle sizes and peNDF through alteration of the theoretical cut length of rice straw (10, 20, 40, and 80 mm, respectively). Dietary peNDF contents were determined using a sieve for particle separation above 8 mm, and were 17.4, 20.9, 22.5 and 25.4%, respectively. Results showed that increasing the particle size and peNDF significantly (p<0.05) increased the time spent on rumination and chewing activities, duodenal starch digestibility and ruminal pH, and decreased ruminal starch digestibility and $NH_{3}$-N concentration. Intake and total tract digestibility of nutrients (i.e. dry matter, organic matter, and starch) and ruminal fermentation were not affected by the dietary particle size and peNDF. Increased particle size and peNDF did not affect ruminal fibre digestibility, but had a great impact on the intestinal and total tract fibre digestibility. The study suggested that rice straw particle size or dietary peNDF was the important influential factor for chewing activity, intestinal fibre and starch digestibility, and ruminal pH, but had minimal impact on feed intake, duodenal and ileal flow, ruminal and total tract digestibility, and ruminal fermentation.
