The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reduction effect of microbially activated peat on odor generated by livestock farms. The odor gas was measured by stirring the livestock manure sample with the existing litter and the microbially activated peat (Healtha Peat) was developed by this research team. In outdoor farm experiment, the measurements were performed by comparing broilers farm using rice husks and microbially activated peat as litter. The weight, mortality, shipment date, and odor levels (NH₃) were measured before and after experiment. The result showed that NH₃ levels were reduced by 100% in the Healtha Peat mixed group, Healtha Peat and rice husks mixed group. In the peat mixed group, Healtha Peat and saw dust mixed group showed reduce value at 99.6% and 99.1%, respectively. However the rice husks mixed group and saw dust mixed group showed a relatively weak NH₃ reduction effect with values of 57.5% and 84.8%, respectively. After 3 months, the Healtha Peat mixed group and Healtha Peat and rice husks mixed group showed the highest NH₃ reduction effect persistence. In the outdoor farm experiment, NH₃ was present in farms using rice husks, but not in farms using Healtha Peat. In farms using Healtha Peat, the mortality and NH₃ were reduced by 75% and >90%, respectively. The average body weight increased 18% and resulted to 10% decrease in the shipping date. These results implied that microbially activated peat has a clear effect on farm NH₃ reduction and affects the productivity of farm animals.

Agricultural extension services in Korea began in 1956, and led self sufficiency of rice through the 'Green Revolution' in 1970's, and a year around supply of green vegetables through the 'White/Vinyl Revolution' in 1980s. The developmental stages of agricultural extension services in Korea, in terms of major purposes, observed by the researcher were as follows; 1) Stage of production guidance when increase in production was directly related to increased income of farmers, 2) Stage of management guidance, when agricultural extension were not only concerned in increasing production, but also in management and marketing, and 3) Stage of improved welfare, when extension services put more emphasis on welfare of farmers in terms of quality of life, as well as increased production, management and marketing. Since late 1980s, farmers in Korea realized the fact that increased production may not lead to increased income. because of this, farmers also wanted improvement of management and marketing. Extension changed the identified needs of farmers to new knowledge, information, and technology in their farm business operation including management and marketing. Loosened cooperations among the central, provincial and local levels after localization of extension services since January 1997 should be strengthened. Provincial level monitoring and supervising should be enhanced for more effective agricultural extension services to meet the changing needs of farmers in the future.

본 연구는 HACCP 제도 발전의 기초 자료로써 활용을 목적으로 국내 15개 산란계 농장을 대상으로 성계 생존율, 피크 산란율, 의약품 및 소독제 사용비 그리고 HACCP 제도의 적용 이유 및 장단점을 적용 전과 후로 나누어 조사하였다. 선정된 농장의 평균 산란계 사육 수수는 152,320으로 국내 평균 산란계 농장 규모보다 다소 크게 나타났으며, 평균 노동력은 10.7명으로 조사되었다. 이를 내국인과 외국인으로 분류하면 내국인은 7.21명(71.14%)이었으며, 외국인은 2.86명(22.86%)이었다. HACCP 제도의 적용 전 피크 산란율은 91.37%, 도입 후에는 91.94%로 통계적 유의성이 없었으며(P>0.05), 성계 생존율도 도입 전 93.13%, 도입 후 93.80%로 유의성을 발견하지 못하였다(P>0.05). 또한, 동물용 의약품 사용비(수/월)는 HACCP 제도의 적용 전 월 평균 35.19원/수로 적용 후 평균 31.21원/수보다 평균 약 3.98원/수 낮았으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다(P>0.05). 소독 약품 사용 금액은 HACCP 적용 전 6.72원/수에서 적용 후 8.67원/수로 평균 약 1.95원 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 통계적 유의성은 발견하지 못하였다(P>0.05). HACCP 제도 도입 이유의 경우, 1순위는 경쟁력 향상(26.92%), 2순위는 안전한 계란(폐계) 생산(23.43%), 3순위(21.33%)는 체계적인 농장 관리, 4순위 (17.13%)는 높은 계란 값, 5순위는 계란을 구매업체의 요구(6.99%), 6순위는 정부의 재정적 지원(4.20%)인 것으로 조사되었고, HACCP 적용에 따른 장점으로는 1순위는 체계적인 농장 관리(22.39%), 2순위는 농장 관리 직원의 위생 안전에 대한 의식 향상(21.18%), 3순위는 농장의 위생 관리 수준의 향상(15.30%), 4순위는 안전한 계란 생산(15.05%), 5순위는 생산성 향상(7.29%), 6순위와 7순위는 각각 폐사율 감소(6.82%)와 생산비 감소(6.12%)로 조사되었다. 산란계 농장의 HACCP 제도 적용에 따른 어려운 점은 HACCP 기록(43.30%), 의식 변화(22.60%), HACCP 모니터링(11.11%), HACCP 교육 (9.97%), HACCP 검증(6.90%), 직원 변동(6.13%) 순으로 조사되었다. 이상의 모든 결과를 종합해 보면, HACCP 제도의 적용에 따른 산란계 농장의 생산성과 동물용 의약품 사용은 유의성이 없었다. 그러나 소독 약품 사용은 유의성 없이 증가하는 경향을 나타내어, 농장의 질병 예방에 긍정적인 영향을 가져다 줄 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서 도출한 산란계 농장 HACCP 제도 도입에 따른 단점을 개선하기 위해서는 향후 정부 및 관련 기관의 지속적인 노력이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, considering the difficulties for all farms to convert farm styles to animal welfare-based housing, an experiment was performed to observe the changes in the behavior and welfare of sows when the slat floor was changed to a collective breeding ground. Twenty-eight sows used in this study were between the second and fifth parities to minimize the influence of parity. Using a flats floor cover, the flattening rates were treated as 0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. Data collection was the behavior of sows visually observed using a camera (e.g., standing, lying, fighting and excessive biting behaviors, and abnormal behaviors) and the animal welfare level measured through field visits. Lying behavior was found to be higher (p < 0.01) as the flattening rate increased, and sows lying on the slatted cover also increased as the flattening rate increased (p < 0.01). Fighting behavior wasincreased when the flattening rate was increased to 20%, and chewing behavior was increased (p < 0.05) as the flattening rate increased. The animal welfare level of sows, 'good feeding', it was found that all treatment groups for body condition score and water were good at 100 (p < 0.05). 'Good housing' was the maximum value (100) in each treatment group. As the percentage of floor increased, the minimum good housing was increased from 78 in 0% flattening rate to 96 in 50% flattening rate. The maximum (100) 'good health' was achieved in the 0% and 20% flattening rates, and it was 98, 98, and 99 in the 30%, 50%, and 40% flattening rate, respectively. 'Appropriate behavior' score was significantly lower than that of other paremeters, but when the flattening ratio was 0% and 20%, the maximum and minimum values were 10. At 40% and 50%, the maximum values were 39 and 49, respectively, and the minimum values were analyzed as 19 for both 40% and 50%. These results will be used as basic data about sow welfare for farmers to successfully transition to group housing and flat floors.

The meat consumption per person has continuously increased in recent years. However, the labor force in the domestic livestock industry has decreased due to the declining and ageing population. In order to increase productivity, the government have developed and distributed design standard of livestock houses. Presently, report showed that the adaptation rate of the developed livestock house design standard on the real farm was still low. Thus, this paper aimed to find ways to improve the utilization of the design standard through surveys. The survey was conducted on 650 farms across the country. Analysis of the result showed that in the poultry house, the unawareness of farmers to the design standard was found to be the biggest reason for not using the design standards. On the other hand, in the swine house, the previously built swine houses do not fit with the design standard. From these result, the following recommendations were suggested: 1) promotion and education are needed to enhance usage of design standard; 2) since it is impossible to make a design standard considering all the farm sites, it is important to consider the conditions of various farm site prior to enhancement of the design standard; 3) improvement factors such as reinforcing the ventilation design, reflecting animal welfare, preventing livestock diseases, and enhancing ICT devices can also be promoted.

The snow brings affluence if it is dealt with appropriately. but causes huge damages if it is dealt with improperly when it snows heavily. Following with the development of road transportation, tile snow causes damages by becoming a serious obstacle for traffic, increasing traffic accidents, causing damages to the road, and requiring a lot of snow removal expense. As farming in the winter becomes flourishing, damages to agricultural facilities and farm produces caused by the snow become bigger and bigger. Now in our country, heavy snow or heavy rain is likely to fall at anywhere and at any time without restricted to a particular area. Safety first is one way of practicing human respect. Disasters will disappear from our neighborhood if we adopt prevention measures and follow them thoroughly. And also this is the shortcut to achieve a welfare society.

The purpose of this study is to examine support policies regarding work and family reconciliation, to suggest plans to improve workplace policies, and to suggest directions for further studies. This study looks at OECD's work-life reconciliation policies as well as family friendly workplace policies in Korea to find a way to enhance business' receptiveness and implementation of the policies. By examining women's labor conditions, this study finds that family friendly workplace policies are necessarily imminent in our society of low fertility and ageing. Along with the evaluation of benefit level and the effectiveness of current policies, this study uses data from interviews with working mothers who have had the experience of family friendly benefits. The results of the analyses suggest that the government should focus on improving the workplace environment in companies that do not show bias against the use of family friendly policies. In order to farm more successful policies, future studies are needed to analyze the changes of fertility, working conditions, support programs, and benefits.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role types that affect the life satisfaction of the elderly in rural areas. The research subjects were 1,000 people aged 65 years and over living in the rural areas of Korea. The data were analyzed using frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, and multiple regression analysis. The results of the study were as follows: First, as a result of substituting the role of rural elderly people into the role type of Rosow, the family role was drastically decreased, the health and self-management roles were increased and the social role was not changed much. In other words, the role type of the rural elderly supported the hypothesis proposed by Rosow. Second, life satisfaction was affected by monthly living expenses, social role, educational level, gender, farm, and religion. In order to improve the life satisfaction of the rural elderly, it is necessary to build programs and infrastructures that can play social roles in rural areas.

Caseous lymphadenitis, caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis has been a predominant disease among small ruminants on farms, causing significant losses for farm producer in the larger part of goat rearing nations across the world, for over a century. However, the control measures have not been very effective due to the chronic and usually subclinical nature of the infection. This has caused significant financial losses due to chronic ill-thrift, carcass condemnation, decreased meat yields and low reproduction as well as animal welfare. The current status of caseous lymphadenitis, with updated reseach information to the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical signs, identification, prevalence, prevention and vaccination are delineated in the review.
