본 연구는 한우 암송아지 비육프로그램 개발을 위하여 약 8개월령 30두(평균 체중 233kg)에게 전 시험기간동안 한우 거세우 육성용 사료(CP 13.65%, TDN 72.7% 건물기 준)를 자유채식 또는, 제한급여(체중의 1.5%, 1.6%/일)를 시킨 후, 24개월령부터 출하 시(32개월령)까지는 자유 채 식시켰다. 본 시험에서 출하 시 체중은 685-702kg 이었으 며, 전 기간 평균 사료 섭취량(7.78–9.05kg/일)과 증체량 (0.58–0.64kg/일)은 자유채식구가 제한급여구보다 많았다 (p<0.05). 한우 미경산 암소의 배최장근 단면적은 평균 99.9cm2였으며, 도체중은 평균 407kg이었다. 조리 감량은 수분함량이 높고 보수력이 낮을수록 많았다(p<0.05). 등심 중 아미노산 함량은 glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, leucine 순으로 높았으며, 지방산 중에는 oleic acid가 55.9 –58.7% 수준으로 자유채식구가 제한급여구보다 높았다 (p<0.05). 따라서 한우암소 비육 프로그램으로서, 한우 거세우 육 성용 TMR을 전 기간(6-32개월령) 동안 자유 채식시키면, 사료효율, 도체 성적 및 등심의 물리·화학적 특성에 있어 서도 우수한 결과를 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, 3D design, vibration analysis and experiment, and feed rate performance test were performed to develop a vibratory bowl feeder for supplying ultra-thin plate parts of less than 50 microns. The natural frequency and resonant frequency of the vibratory bowl feeder were obtained through the vibration analysis and experiment, and it was confirmed that the results of the analysis and experiment agree well. Through the feed rate experiment, it was confirmed that up to 610 ultra-thin parts per minute were fed at 250Hz and a supply voltage of 220V, where the excitation frequency and the resonant frequency match. And through analysis and experimental research, it was confirmed that the development of a vibratory bowl feeder for supplying ultra-thin parts was successful.

This investigation aimed to assess the appetite response changes of olive flounder to starving and re-feeding conditions. Three different feeding groups (2 weeks feeding, fed; 2 weeks starving, starved; and 1 week starving and 1 week feeding, re-fed) were established to examine the changes in appetite-related genes for each group. The weight gain of the fish was highest for the fed group and lowest for the starving group. Based on the daily feed intake (DFI) and cumulative feed intake (CFI), overall food intake was found to increase in the re-fed group more than in the fed group from week 1 to week 2 of the experiment. Hypocretin neuropeptide precursor (HCRT) and galanin receptor 1 (GAL-R1) mRNA expression in the brain of olive flounder were decreased in the starved group. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) was decreased in all experimental groups, except for the fed group. However, overall leptin concentrations in the plasma did not change across groups. Considering the differences between this study and previous studies on starving and feeding, various factors (except the production and expression mechanisms of appetite-related factors in response to starving) are likely acting on the appetite responses of the fish. In this study, a 1-week re-feeding period induced substantial effects on appetite response when compared to a 2-week feeding period. These findings show that even if re-feeding is performed after starving, the unbalance caused by the re-feeding can affect various physiological changes in fish by feed intake efficiency.

Plasma torch melting technology can pyrolyze and melt waste with high-temperature heat (about 1,600°C) using electric arc phenomena such as lightning. Waste that may be treated in a plasma torch melting facility is injected in solid (combustible, non-combustible) and liquid form depending on facility capacity. The 200 L drum type, screw supply type, and nozzle type liquid injection device are applied to MW plasma facilities, and the push rod type and screw supply type are applied to smallcapacity plasma facilities. In consideration of the characteristics of radioactive waste generated from operating and dismantling nuclear power plants, a waste input device suitable for plasma torch facilities was developed and verified through tests. In the future, facility soundness will be confirmed through long-term performance tests, and stability will be secured through continuous improvement.

This study sought to investigate the association between the food literacy (FL) of children and mothers, and the maternal feeding style. Study subjects were mothers (n=400) with children in the 4th to 6th grades of elementary school and who were the primary caregivers for their children (n=400). The responses to the Caregiver’s Feeding Styles Questionnaire (CFSQ) were obtained from mothers. Both mothers and children completed the questionnaire for socio-demographics, dietary habits, health status, and food literacy. The high demanding/high responsive feeding style was associated with increased meal frequency for both mothers and children. The low demanding/low responsive feeding style was significantly associated with a lower mother’s FL after accounting for confounding factors. The low demanding feeding styles were associated with the child’s lower FL after adjustments for the age, sex, weight status of the child and the age, household income, and education of the mother. However, this association was not seen after making an additional adjustment for the mother’s FL. These results suggest that the caregiver’s feeding style may affect the dietary habits and FL of both mother and child.

본 연구는 엘크 암사슴(Cervus canadensis)의 사육방식에 따른 사료섭취량, 체중변화 및 자록의 성장에 미치는 영향을 확인하고 적정 방목강도를 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 실험에 사용 된 공시가축은 3~4년생 엘크 암사슴 16두(평균체중 : 236.2 ± 15.7 kg)를 이용하였으며, 방목초지는 3년 이상된 톨 페스큐 위주의 기성 혼파초지로서 초종구성은 톨 페스큐(약 50%), 오차드 그라스(약 10%), 켄터기 블루그라스(약 5%)와 피, 바랭이 등으로 구성되었다. 방목초지의 수분함량은 19.51∼22.61%로 방목기간 동안 유사하였으며, 조단백질 함량은 6~7월에 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 조지방과 조회분 함량은 가을로 갈수록 점차 증가하였으며, NDF와 ADF함량은 각각 53.65∼60.18%과 26.08∼29.10% 로 조사되었다. 실험기간동안 보충사료 섭취량은 월별로 처리구 사이에 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 조사료와 총 건물섭 취량은 5월을 제외하고 처리구 사이에 유의적인 차이가 나타났다 (p<0.05). 특히 8월에는 GR처리구의 조사료 섭취량이 급격히 감소하였는데, 여름철 환경변화에 따른 것으로 사료된다. 반면, 9월 포유를 위해 부족한 영양소를 섭취하기 위해 사초섭취량이 급격히 증가하였다. 우리 연구에서 암사슴의 채식패턴은 수사슴과 차이를 보였으며, 이는 실험기간 자록의 이유 및 포유기간에 따른 영향을 받은 것으로 사료된다. 본 실험에서 사양방식에 따른 엘크 암사슴의 체중은 유의적 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, GR처리구에서 자록의 성장률이 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, GR처리구에서 BF처리구에 비해 낮은 이유율이 나타나 분만 전후 사사사육을 통해 이유율을 높여주는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 목지 내에서 분만 시 포유경험이 있는 산차가 높은 암사슴을 이용하고 방목강도를 높여주는 것이 이유율을 향상시키는 데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 엘 크 암사슴의 방목강도는 연평균 15두/ha로 나타났는데, 이는 다마 암사슴(Dama dama)에 비해서는 체중대비 높게 나타났으나, 엘크 수사슴에 비해서는 낮은 수치를 보여주었다. 이러한 결과는 기성초지 이용으로 인해 사초의 생산성이 감소한 결과로 사료되며, 앞으로 방목초지의 혼파방법과 기성초지의 비배관리 등을 통해 초지 활용성을 높일 수 있는 연구가 추가적으로 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

One of the problems with abalone farms is that they need to be checked frequently after feeding them or visited once or twice a day and that the amount of food intake constantly fluctuates due to changes in water temperature around the farm and typhoons. In addition, the condition of abalone is not constant as it is divided into places that eat well and do not eat well according to its location. In order to solve this problem, there is a method of measuring the amount of food intake by using a load cell that can measure even the smallest weight in an abalone farm. Through this study, we implemented a system capable of measuring the amount of abalone feed required for systematic management of abalone farms and real-time monitoring using mobile and client PCs.
