This experiment was conducted to evaluate feed value and usability of soybean varieties as livestock forage. In this study, three soybean cultivars, OT93-26, Geomjeongsaeol, and Pungwon, were harvested at R5 (beginning seed development)- and R6 (full seed)-reproductive stages for analyzing feed value of soybean. Days to R5 stage harvest of OT93-26 among the three soybean cultivars was 55 days and the shortest while Pungwon took 103 days to reach at R6 stage. The R6-harvested soybeans had higher dry matter (DM) yields and crude protein (CP) content than the R5-harvested. However, both DM and CP were the highest in the R6-harvested Geomjeongsaeol. Contents of neutral detergent fiber (nDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of Pungwon harvested at R5 were the highest whereas the R6-harvested Geomjeongsaeol had the lowest. Digestible dry matter (DDM), dry matter intake (DMI), and relative feed value (RFV) of the R6-harvested Geomjeongsaeol and Pungwon were higher than those of the R5-harvested, but in case of OT93-26, those at R6 stage were low rather than those at R5 stage. However, soybean could be used as alternative forage with high feed value for livestock. Taken together, Geomjeongsaeol could be used for developing new forage soybean varieties with high feed value, and R6 would be the optimum harvesting stage for yield and quality of forage soybean.

본 시험은 논에서 가축분뇨를 활용한 총체벼 재배 시 생육특성, 수량, 사료가치 및 토양의 화학성에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 2003년부터 2005년까지 3년간 축산과학원(수원) 포장에서 시험을 실시하였으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 초장은 품종 간에는 추청벼에서 길었으며 가축분뇨 종류 간에는 돈분액비구> 발효돈분구> 발효우분구 순이었다. 주당 경수는 수원468호보다 추청벼가 많았으며 가축분뇨의 종류 간에는 돈분액비구> 발효돈분구> 화학비료구

본 시험은 논에서 가축분뇨를 활용하여 수수수단그라스 교잡종 재배시 생육특성, 수량 및 토양중의 질산태 질소의 변화를 구명하기 위하여 2003년부터 2005년까지 3년간 축산연구소(수원) 포장에서 시험을 실시하였으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 수수수단그라스 교잡종의 생육특성 중 초기생육은 화학비료구 4.3에 비하여 가축분뇨를 시용한 경우 로 양호하였고 1차 예취후 재생은 화학비료구 3.0에 비하여 돈분액비, 발효돈분구는 각각 2.8로 양호한 반면

The influence of various forms of Houttuynia cordata with fermented red koji as feed additives on the performance of duck livestock was evaluated through a field study. Two hundred and forty ducks (Pekins) aged 0–38 d were used. They were randomly assigned to four treatment groups (0%, 1% H. cordata powder with fermented red koji, 1% H. cordata pelleted with fermented red koji, and 1% H. cordata coated with fermented red koji) with four replicates (15 ducks per replication). Foreconomic evaluation, the data (a total of 240 duck) obtained from each treatment were applied to 10,000 ducks per treatment 38-d after the feeding trial. Overall, the results of economic evaluation were the highest in the treatment with 1% H. cordata coated with fermented red koji, followed by 1% H. cordatapelleted with fermented red koji, 1% H. cordatapowder with fermented red koji, and control. In conclusion, using 1% H. cordatawith fermented red koji as coating and pellet type duck diets might be of economic advantage for sustainable environmental management.
