본 연구는 버크셔종의 육질에 대한 특성을 분석하여 국내 돈육시장에서의 적합성을 확인하고, MS marker를 이용한 육질 우수 개체 선발의 효율성에 대해서 분석하였다. 버크셔 323두를 동일 사양조건에서 사육하고 도축하여 육질형질을 분석하고, 혈액으로부터 genomic DNA를 분리하여 50개의 MS marker에 대한 유전자형을 분석하였다. 버크셔종은 국내에서 가장 많이 이용되고 있는 듀록, 요크셔, 랜드레이스 종보다도 육질에 있어서 더욱 우수한 특성을 나타내었다. 특히 도축 24시간 후 pH 값은 평균 $5.88{\pm}0.01$로 대단히 높게 나타났고, 지방함량의 경우에도 $2.878{\pm}0.06$로 확인되었다. MS marker와의 연관성을 확인한 결과, 14개 MS marker가 육질형질과 연관성을 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 특히 pH24hr와 지방함량에서는 가장 높은 값을 가지는 대립유전자집단이 가장 낮은 집단에 비해 최고 0.55, 2.04%가 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 특성을 버크셔종의 육질 우수 개체 선발에 이용한다면 육색, 지방함량, pH24hr, 가열감량, 드립감량, 그리고 보수성에서 육질 형질값의 높은 개량효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 돼지 농가의 생산성 향상 및 수익성 증대를 위한 분자 육종 기술에 적용할 유전자 마커를 개발하기 위해 수행되었다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 돼지의 간 조직을 이용하여 RNA-Sequencing을 수행한 결과 ECI2 유전자의 SNP를 발견하였고 발견된 SNP chr 7:g.2302809는 c.608로 608번째 C가 G로 변환되어 Threonine에서 Serine으로 아미노산이 치환되는 단일염기다형성임을 확인하였다. Berkshire 돼지 430으로 ECI2 유전자형과 육질 형질과의 연관성 분석 결과 도 체중, 적색도, 육즙 손실, 수분 함량 및 $pH_{24hr}$에서 유의성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그중 GG 유전자형은 $pH_{24hr}$에서 다른 유전자형에 비해 수치가 증가시키는 경향을 확인하였다. 성별에 따른 유전자형과 육질 형질과의 연관성은 거세돈에서 GG 유전자형이 육즙 손실의 감소와 $pH_{24hr}$에서 유의성이 확인되었고, 암퇘지의 GG 유전자형도 수분함량이 증가되었다. 따라서 ECI2 유전자의 GG 유전자형을 가진 돼지가 육질이 더 좋은 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 ECI2의 GG 유전자형을 고정시킨다면 육질이 우수한 돼지고기 생산이 가능할 것이다. 또한 ECI2 유전자를 이용하여 품종개량 및 조기 선발 기술에 바이오마커로 활용한다면 농가의 경쟁력 강화 효과에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

The present study was performed to investigate the effects of the plane of nutrition on growth performance and meat quality traits, especially marbling and PSE (pale, soft, and exudative), in finishing pigs. One hundred and four barrows and 102 gilts born to Yorkshire ${\times}$ Landrace dams and Duroc sires were randomly allocated to 16 pens at approximately 80-kg body weight, with 13 animals housed per pen except for two pens. Each eight pens received a diet containing either 3.4 Mcal ME/kg and 0.98% total lysine (high plane) or 3.1 Mcal ME/kg and 0.81% total lysine (medium plane). All animals were slaughtered at approximately 112 kg BW on an average, after which the Longissimus muscle (LM) was analyzed physicochemically. The ADG, ADFI, gain:feed as well as marbling score did not differ between the two dietary groups, whereas backfat thickness was greater in the high-plane group than in the medium-plane group (24.1 vs. 22.5 mm P<0.05). No LM exhibited PSE, i.e. $L^*$ (lightness) > 50, pH < 6.0 and drip loss > 5.0%, nor were these PSE-related variables influenced by the dietary treatment. Contents of crude protein and fat in LM did not differ between the two dietary groups. In conclusion, the present results suggest that growth performance and the occurrence of the PSE or 'watery' carcass are not influenced significantly by increasing the plane of nutrition in finishing pigs when the finisher is adequate nutritionally for supporting maximal lean growth. However, increasing the plane of nutrition is likely to result in an increase in fat deposition.

As the supply and demand of pork has become a significant concern in Korea, controlling it has become a critical challenge for the industry. However, compared to the demand for pork, which has relatively stable consumption, it is not easy to maintain a stable supply. As the preparation of measures for a supply-demand crisis response and supply control in the pig industry has emerged as an important task, it has become necessary to establish a stable supply model and create an appropriate manual. In this study, a pork supply prediction model is constructed using reported data from the pig traceability system. Based on the derived results, a method for determining the supply-demand crisis stage using a statistical approach was proposed. From the results of the analysis, working days, African swine fever, heat wave, and Covid-19 were shown to affect the number of pigs graded in the market. A test of the performance of the model showed that both in-sample error rate and out-sample error rate were between 0.3 - 7.6%, indicating a high level of predictive power. Applying the forecast, the distribution of the confidence interval of the predicted value was established, and the supply crisis stage was identified, evaluating supply-demand conditions.

Acceptance of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) in agricultural animal production is rapidly disappearing. Both government regulations and consumer preference are driving this change. Producers in any country that seek export markets will be forced to give up AGP if they are to sell to the EU and many other markets. This report will first review the history of AGP use in the animal industry and the concerns about development of antimicrobial resistance. A description of the development and structure of the gut and how it is affected by AGP administration will conclude with results of studies to replace AGP with antimicrobial organic acids.

Technologies on preimplantation porcine embryos have been developed quickly and significantly. Successful development of systems for culture of porcine zygotes to the blastocyst stage has made it possible to utilize follicular oocytes for in vitro production of embryos and thus stimulated research on various embryo technologies. Recent technological development of embryo cryopreservation, separation of X- and Y-bearing spermatozoa and non-surgical embryo transfer has also made it easy to utilize in vivo- and in vitro-produced embryos for artificial manipulation to produce clones and transgenic pigs. Further progress in overcoming various problems associated with each embryo technology will result in acceptable efficiency to utilize porcine embryos with a high or increased quality. Combining these technologies will accelerate further expansion of the swine industry not only for meat production but also for the production of therapeutic recombinant proteins and xonografts.

Avian influenza viruses infect humans, horses, swine, other mammals, and a wide variety of domesticated and wild birds. Modem poultry industries worldwide are at risk of infection with avian influenza. Low pathogenic avian influenza can easily change to highly pathogenic form especially when introduced into areas of high density commercial poultry. Outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza are becoming progressively more expensive to control according to the growth of the poultry industry worldwide. Future strategies for avian influenza control and prevention should involve a combination of early detection and characterization of virus using advanced molecular biologic techniques, quarantine, selective depopulation and vaccination of flocks.

New emerging post weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) threatening swine industry worldwide and investigation of the etiological agent is underway. The porcine circovirus (PCV) consistently identified from PMWS pigs and research result indicate that there is strong relationship between PCV and PMWS. Fauns with PMWS submitted pigs suffered from various PMWS typical signs and necropsy finding showed lymph node anomalies. The PCV DNA was amplified from inguinal lymph node collected from pigs with PMWS. PCV specific primers were successfully amplified PCV DNAs and were able to differentiate PCV type I and II. We have identified noble PCV virus with genetic variation. The virus showed insertion of the nucleic acid at the 5' of the genome but did not have PCR product with primer set corresponding to PCV type II virus.

A total of 131 Pasteurella (P.) multocida strains were isolated from the lungs of 1,064 pigs with respiratory clinical signs nationwide during 2009-2010 and 2013-2014. The strains of P. multocida comprised 77.1% serotype A and 22.9% serotype D. Analysis of a recent P. multocida outbreak in Korean pigs showed that the isolation rate of serotype D decreased annually. The incidence of antimicrobial resistance, as measured using minimal inhibitory concentration values, has decreased recently. Overall, further studies to characterize P. multocida isolated from pigs in Korea are needed to prevent P. multocida infection in the Korean swine industry
