Forty eight lambs (24 each of Malpura and Mutton synthetic breeds) were weaned at 90 days of age and divided into two groups. One group of 12 lambs from each of the two breeds was maintained on low energy (52% TDN) and the other group of 12 on high energy (58% TDN) feedlot ration until 6 of the lambs attained 20 kg and the other 6 attained 25 kg live weight in each of the two groups. Daily feed intake and weekly body weights were recorded. Conventional metabolism trials were conducted on the two breeds and the two rations. The growth rate was found to be higher for lambs on high energy ration (p<0.01). The growth rate was also higher for higher target weight groups (p<0.01). The breed did not significantly affect the live weight gains. Mutton synthetic lambs required less number of days to reach 20 kg live weights but took more time to reach 25 kg target weight as compared to Malpura lambs (p<0.01). The lambs of both the breeds reached 25 kg live weight earlier on high energy than those on low energy ration (p<0.01). The dry matter intake, irrespective of breed, was significantly higher (4.57% or 93.4 g per kgW$^{0.75}$) on low energy than that on high energy ration (4.20% or 87.2 g per kg W$^{0.75}$). The digestibility coefficients of all the nutrients excepting crude fibre were significantly higher on high energy diet irrespective of the breed. Lambs on low energy ration, however, digested the crude fibre more than those on the high energy ration (p<0.05). Although there were no significant differences in the intakes of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus, the balance of nitrogen was higher on high energy ration. The DCP and TDN values were 9.70 and 52.76% for low energy and 9.89 and 57.68 % for high energy ration, respectively. The dressing percentages on live weight basis were 50.2 on low and 51.6 on high energy ration, 50.5 at 20kg and 51.3 at 25 kg slaughter weight and 51.0 in Malpura and 50.8 in Mutton synthetic lambs, respectively. The percent of bones in the carcass was higher on low energy ration in Mutton synthetic lambs at 20 kg slaughter weight than others. It was concluded that the performance of the lambs in respect of mutton production was significantly better on high energy ration fed upto 25 kg slaughter weight with no or little breed differences.

Growth and water quality in Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica ($6.0{\pm}0.9g$) fed extruded and paste type diets were compared for 8 weeks. Fish in the duplicate tanks were fed with one of three experimental diets: two different extruded pellet diets and one paste type diet. Six FRP tanks were used with stocking density of 3.6 kg per tank (3 m3). Restricted feeds (ca. 2% of body weight) were served twice daily. Weight gains were checked at the end of every two-week interval, and water qualities in terms of NH4-N and NO2-N were determined daily one hour after feeding in the morning. Water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH were constantly kept within the optimum range, while fifty percent of total water volume was changed daily. Eels fed the extruded pellet diets showed significantly better (P<0.05) growth performance than did eels fed the paste type diet. The amount of feed waste from the paste type diet was significantly greater than those from the extruded pellet diets (P<0.05). Ammonia (NH4-N) waste was significantly higher from the paste diet than from the extruded pellet diets (P<0.05). These results show that extruded pellet diets are better than the paste type diet for growth and water quality management in eel culture.

An experiment was conducted on 190 progeny (winter -74; summer -59; rainy -57) of 12 Grey Giant rabbits (10 female +2 males), to assess the effect of different seasons in a year, on their reproductive, growth and productive performances along with feed efficiency, under sub-temperate Himalayan conditions. The daily meteorological attributes recorded during winter (October to March), summer (April to June) and rainy (July to September) seasons, and analysed were minimum and maximum temperature, relative humidity and rainfall. Various biological parameters recorded were doe weights at mating and kindling, litter size at birth, litter weight at birth, kit mortality, litter size at weaning, litter weight at weaning, weekly body weight up to 98 d and weaner mortality. Individual weight gains, dressing percentages, meat weights, liver weights, raw-pelt weights, processed pelt weights and processed pelt areas at slaughter on d 84 and 98, respectively were also recorded. The feed and fodder compositions and their nutritive values during different seasons were also analysed. Average ambient temperature during winter, summer and rainy seasons were $13.2{\pm}2.8$, $22.4{\pm}3.7$ and $24.8{\pm}2.3^{\circ}C$, respectively. The average relative humidity and total rainfall for winter, summer and rainy seasons were $68.9{\pm}1.5$% and $48{\pm}26.6$mm, $66.3{\pm}4.8$% and $125.6{\pm}56.8$ mm, and $77.3{\pm}1.3$% and $116.3{\pm}90.4$ mm, respectively. The weight of doe at mating and kindling, litter size at birth, litter weight at birth and litter size at weaning were comparatively higher whereas litter weight at weaning was significantly (p<0.05) higher during winter as compared to summer and rainy seasons. The kit mortality was significantly (p<0.05) higher during winter while the weaner mortality was significantly (p<0.05) higher during rainy season. At 84 d, the live weight per doe, slaughter weight, dressing percentage and liver weight were significantly (p<0.05) higher during winter than summer and rainy. Similarly, the gain in weight and meat weight at 84 and 98 d were significantly (p<0.05) higher during winter. The weight of raw pelt and processed pelt were recorded significantly (p<0.05) higher during winter while no difference in the area of processed pelts during different seasons could be observed. No difference in the biological performance could be observed between sexes in any of the seasons. Roughage analysis revealed comparatively higher crude protein percent and lower crude fibre percent during summer and rainy seasons than in winter. The roughage dry matter intake was comparatively higher during summer and rainy seasons vis-a-vis constant amount of concentrate supplied during all the three seasons. The digestibilities of dry matter was significantly (p<0.05) lower, whereas that of crude fiber, acid detergent fibre and cellulose were negative during winter. Interestingly, the feed:gain was exceedingly well during winter than in other seasons and it is concluded that it was the best season for production of rabbits under sub-temperate Himalayan conditions.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Scoria, Quartz porphyry and Oak charcoal powder feeding by 1% level of concentrate on the fattening cross bred bulls(5/8 Korean Native Cattle, 2/8 Charolais, 1/8 Brahman germ plasma) Feeding trial was conducted with 4 treatment groups which were T1(Full feeding of concentrate and roughage for 12 months), T2(T1 and Scoria addition), T3(T1 and Quartz porphyry addition) and T4(Oak charcoal addition) for 360 days, consisting of 32 heads whose initially weights were about 299.7kg. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. During the over-all period, average daily gains by T3, T4, T2 and T1 were 1.024, 0.987, 0.977kg and 0.964, respectively, without a significant difference by treatments. 2. Concentrate intakes per body weight and TDN intakes required per unit of kilogram gain were lower in addition agent groups than in control, and in all the treatments feed efficiency was higher at early stage for 360 fattening day than at end stage. 3. Carcass weight, dressing percent, back-fat thickness and loin eye muscle area by treatments were 330.9 to 348.4kg(average 340.3kg), 55.2~56.2(average 55.8%), 0.41~0.55(average 0.46cm)and 76.0~80.9$\textrm{cm}^2$(average 77.6$\textrm{cm}^2$), respectively, and were improved in addition agent groups than in control. 4. Meat quality grade is higher in addition agent groups than in control, and heads of 1st grade by treatments was 3, 2, 1 and none in T4, T2, T3 and T1, respectively. 5. Incidence heads of diseases by treatment were not apparently different, but diseases of digestive system was decreased in addition agent groups than in control. 6. The nitrate nitrogen content of fattening bull dung which collected in rectum were 0.082~0.089% (average 0.084%), and the content in addition agent groups was smaller than in controll. 7. Income was higher in order of T4, T3, T2, and T1 and incomes of treatment groups were grater than that of control group by 21.4 to 33.5 percent. According to the above results it may be concluded that fattening bulls may be required to feed no more than 1% of Scoria, Quartz porphyry and Oak charcoal powder based on the concentrate feeding level during the fattening period(12 to 24 month of age) to produce high quality meat and increase income.

천연 astaxanthin 색소를 다량 함유한 phaffia 효모를 양식 어류에게 공급하였을 때, 이 색소가 어류의 성장과 소화, 흡수되는 정도를 조사하기 위하여 이스라엘 잉어($650{\pm}20$ g), 비단잉어($80{\pm}10$ g) 및 나일틸라피아($200{\pm}20$ g)의 사료에 phaffia 효모를 $10\%$ 첨가하여 10주간 공급한 다음 성장률, 체조성, 근육의 탄력도 및 근육 색과 체색 등의 변화를 측정하였다. Phaffia 효모 첨가 사료에 대한 효모 대조구로서 $10\%$의 맥주 효모 첨가 사료구를, 그리고 이들 두가지 반정제 효모 사료에 대한 성장 대조구로서 시판 상품 사료구를 설정하여 10주간 사육한 결과 이스라엘 잉어, 비단잉어 및 틸라피아의 성장에는 모든 사료 공급구에서 유의적인 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 이들 실험어의 근육 내의 일반 성분은 실험 후에도 현저한 차이가 나타나지 않아(P>0.05), phaffia 효모나 맥주 효모 사료가 체성분 조성에는 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 횟감으로 이용되는 어종인 이스라엘 잉어와 틸라피아의 근육에 쫄깃한 정도를 나타내는 기계적 탄력도와 관능적 탄력도를 측정한 결과 모두 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다(P>0.05). 실험어의 근육에 phaffia 효모에서 유래되는 붉은 색소의 침착은 이스라엘 잉어와 비단잉어 실험구에서는 근육내의 색소 분석과 관능적 측정 실험 모두에서 현저하게 높게 나타났지만(P<0.05), 틸라피아에서는 색소 분석과 관능적 측정 실험 모두에서 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다(P>0.05).

본 시험은 벼의 잠재수량을 증가시킬 수 있는 새로운 이상형 초형을 제시할 목적으로 벼 소얼성과 다얼성 품종을 이용하여 분얼의 위치와 이삭의 크기 사이의 관계를 구명하고 수량을 증가시킬수 있는 초형으로서 알맞은 분얼의 수를 결정하기 위하여 국제미작연구소 (IRRI)에서 1987년에 실시하였다. 공시품종은 소얼ㆍ수중형인 IR25588과 다얼ㆍ수수형인 IR58을 이용하였는데 이들은 분얼능력과 이삭의 크기는 현저히 차이가 있었으나 다른 특성들은 비슷하였다. 1 수당영화수와 수량을 기준으로 볼때, 소얼성인 IR25588과 다얼성인 IR58 모두 '상위6개의 분얼'은 다른 분얼에 비하여 유의적으로 이삭이 무겁고 영화수가 많았다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 벼의 잠재수량을 현재보다 높일 수 있는 새로운 초형으로서 '분얼이 6개 또는 그 보다 적은 소얼성이고 수당영화수가 200～250개인 초형' 을 제시한다. 이러한 소얼ㆍ수중형품종은 밀식적응성이 높기 때문에 직파재배에서도 수량을 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 2. '상위6개의 분얼'이 다른 분얼들에 비하여 높은 수량을 나타낼 것은 주로 수당영화수가 월등히 많았기 때문이며 천립중과 임실비율은 기여도가 적었다. 또한, '상위6개의 이삭'은 다른 이삭에 비하여 고밀도립(high-density grains)이 많았다. 3. '상위6개의 분얼'은 주간(M), 첫번째, 두번째, 세번째, 네번째 1차분얼(Pl, P2, 93, P4)과 두번째 1차분얼에서 나온 첫번째 2차분얼(S1P2)이었다 4. 소얼ㆍ다얼성 모두 '상위6개의 분얼'은 다른 분얼에 비하여 엽면적이 크고, 간중과 총분얼중이 무거웠는데, 이는 많은 sink(수당영화수)를 채울 수 있는 Source로서 광합성 작용과 동화물질의 축적에 크게 기여할 것이다. 5. '상위6개의 분얼'은 다른 분얼보다 일씩 발생되어 생육기간이 길며, 분얼 발생빈도가 100%로서 모두 유효분얼이 되었다. 또한, 벼 1포기가 모두 출수하는데 l1～12일이 소요되었으나, 소얼ㆍ다얼성 모두 '상위6개의 분얼'은 출수기가 빨랐으며, 이들은 3일 내에 모두 출수되어 짧은 기간 내에 균일한 출수와 등숙이 이루어짐으로서 미질 향상에 유리할 것으로 해석된다.

In order to ensure good animal health and performance, it is essential to produce forages with high feeding value and good hygienic quality. However, huge amounts of forages consumed by ruminants are contaminated with mold prior to harvest or during storage as hay, straw or silage. These mold can grow in forages only when nutrients are available, correct temperature exist, oxygen is present, and unbound water is available. Fungal 'species can be divided into two groups: field fungi and storage fungi. Field fungi invade the forages while the crop is still in the field, require high moisture conditions, and are such as species of Fusarium, Alternaria, Clodosporium, Diplodia, Gibberrella and Helminthosporium. Storage fungi invade forages during storage and need less moisture than field fungi. These such as species of Aspergillus and Penicillium usually do not occur any problem before harvest. Mold growth can spoil the nutritional aspects of the forages and also results in secondary metabolites that are highly toxic to animal, humans and plants. Moldy feeds are less palatable and may reduce dry matter intake. This, in turn, leads to a reduction of nutrition intake, reducing weight gains or milk production. Performance losses of 5 to 10 percent are typical with moldy feeds. Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by fungi (molds) growing on crops in the field or storages. While greater than 400 mycotoxins have been chemically identified, the biological or veterinary medical impact of only several mycotoxins is known. Mycotoxins have attracted considerable attention as potential causes for poor performance and health disorders in domestic livestock. They can be carcinogenic, hepatotoxic, hematotoxic, immunosuppressive, estrogenic, or mutagenic. So, feeding moldy forages has adverse effects on animal health and milk consumers. Also, this author reported that rice straw hay was contaminated mycotoxigenic fungi such as Penicillium roqueforti and Fusarium culmorum in Korea. Therefore, it is an urgent need to develop an improved post harvest storage method to reduce nutrient loss and mycotoxin contamination of forages, which will have a positive impact on human health.
