The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for 18 linear conformation traits and overall conformation score in Holstein cattle. A total of 376,606 records for type traits were collected from 2001 to 2011 from Korea Animal Improvement Association. The model of estimation of variance components and correlations among lactations using VCE included both fixed effects (herd-year-season and stage of lactation parity-wise) and random effect (animal additive genetic). The estimated heritabilities (h2) for capacity class, such as stature, chest width, body depth, angularity, and body condition score were 0.32, 0.16, 0.27, 0.12, and 0.19, respectively. Rump angle and width from rump class also showed h2 of 0.31 and 0.17, respectively. The heritabilities in udder class were mostly low to medium; in which traits were fore udder attachment (0.13), rear udder height (0.17), udder support (0.11), udder depth (0.33), front teat placement (0.17), front teat length (0.21), and rear teat placement (0.21). For feet and legs composite class, the estimated heritabilities for rear leg set, foot angle, rear leg rear view, and locomotion were 0.12, 0.07, 0.08, and 0.03, respectively. The h2 estimated for overall conformation score was 0.16 in the study. The genetic and environmental variance components estimated from this study would be helpful to change from single lactation animal models to multiple lactation animal models in the national genetic evaluation system for the improvement of linear type traits. Moreover, The breeding values obtained using these variance components would be able to be used in the calculation of Korean type production index (KTPI), udder composite (UDC) and, feet and legs composite (FLC).

Cattle breeds were classified previously into three different haplogroups (Y1 and/or Y2 in Bos taurus and Y3 in B. indicus) based on Y chromosome-specific polymorphisms. In particular, a rapid and unambiguous classification method was reported recently. However, a haplogroup classification of Korean native cattle breeds has not been reported. In this study, 196 animal samples from four Korean native cattle breeds (Hanwoo, Chikso, Heugu, and Jeju black cattle) and six exotic breeds were used to determine the Y chromosome-specific haplogroup classification. We amplified an 81 bp indel region within intron 26 of the USP9Y gene and performed electrophoresis to classify the Y1 and Y2 haplogroups. Moreover, enzyme digestion was carried out with the SspI restriction enzyme to classify the Y2 and Y3 haplogroups. Finally, sequence variation in each haplogroup was confirmed by DNA sequencing. All animals in the four Korean native cattle and two exotic breeds (Charolais and Simmental) belonged to the Y2 haplogroup. Three other exotic breeds (Holstein, Angus, and Hereford) belonged to Y1 haplogroup. Japanese black cattle were divided into both the Y1 and Y2 haplogroups. The Y3 haplogroup corresponding to B. indicus was not found in this study. In conclusion, Korean native cattle breeds originated from B. taurus without introduction from B. indicus. In addition, they showed the same paternal heredity pattern which belonged to only Y2 haplogroup. These results can be used to investigate the origin of Korean native cattle breeds.

Presently, the first pregnancy age of dairy heifers attended National Dairy Herd Improvement Program (NDHI) in Korea has increased, and more research have been requested to evaluate the possibility of decreasing the first pregnancy age of dairy heifers. Accordingly, this study was investigated the effects of the month of age at the first service and pregnancy on the reproductive efficiency of Holstein heifers. For these, the reproductive performance of heifers was analyzed by evaluating the effects of first insemination service at 12-14 months of age (12 month old), 15-16 months of age (15 month old), 17-19 months of age (17 month old), and > 20 months of age (20 month old) in Holstein heifers. The service numbers per conception in the first insemination months were 1.85±1.22, 1.59±0.77, 1.58±0.72, and 1.76±0.97 times at 12, 15, 17 and 20 months of age, respectively. The conception rates in the first service were 51.2, 57.8, 54.8, and 52.9% at 12, 15, 17 and 20 months of age, respectively. The conception ages were 453.2±78.9, 512.1±75.9, 590.1±98.0, and 713.0±74.5 days in the heifers serviced firstly at 12, 15, 17 and 20 months of age, respectively. There was significantly difference in the conception age among groups (p<0.05). The cumulative conception rates in the heifers serviced firstly at 12, 15, 17 and 20 months of age were 51.21, 57.8, 54.8 and 53.0% by the first service, 29.8, 30.1, 32.3, 23.5% by the second service, and 19.0, 12.1, 12.9 and 23.5% by the third service, respectively. The service numbers per conception in the first pregnancy months were 1.31, 1.55, 2.0, 2.05 times at 12, 15, 17 and 20 months of the first service age, respectively. The service numbers per conception in the 12 and 15 months of age were significantly lower than those in the 17 and 20 months of age (p<0.05). The rates of repeat-breeder were 6.0, 11.3, 22.0, and 41.0% in the heifers serviced firstly at 12, 15, 17 and 20 months of age, respectively. These results demonstrate that first pregnancy of Holstein heifers should be conducted at 15 months of age, because the age at first pregnancy in heifers can be substantially influenced through implementation of reproductive management and performance.

Antler of deer have been used in Asia as a dietary supplementary or alternative medical substance. The antler contains various biological active substances, including ganglioside has been known to promote growth, bone hyperactivity, immune function, protein synthesis and various pharmacological action. Therefore, this study was to investigate the effect of antler on productivity of broiler chicks. Feeding trial has a number of 240 broiler chicks was conducted to investigate the effect of antler extract (AE) treated feeds on body performance, breast meat composition and characteristics in broilers. Each treatment had 15 chicks with 4 replications. The supplementation level of AE treated feeds was 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9% in the experimental diets. The results obtained were summarized as follows: Average body weight gain was significantly (p<0.05) increased in broilers fed with AE compared to that of control during overall periods. Especially, the body weight gain of 0.9% AE treated chickens showed highly increased by 6.0% compare to the control. Average feed intake was not significantly different among the treatments. Average feed efficiency was significantly (p<0.05) improved by 4% in broiler chicks fed with AE compare to that of control. Average breast meat composition and concentration of cholesterol were also not different by feeding the AE. In breast meat characteristics, the shear force (kg/0.5inch2) of breast meat showed similar results in all treatments. The cooking loss of breast meat was significantly lower in the chick fed AE than that of control. But the water holding capacity (%) of breast meat was significantly (p<0.05) higher in the chicks fed AE than that of control. In breast meat color of chicks were not significantly different in all treatments. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and volatile base nitrogen (VBN) value were not showed different with all treatments. Also, the fatty acids composition of breast meat were showed similar results in all treatments. In conclusion, the dietary feed of AE tended to improve the body weight gain and feed efficiency, but did not influenced breast meat characteristics of broiler chicks

Horses are non-ruminant and monogastric animal. If concentrates are fed plentifully at a time, undigested starch reaches large intestine and it activates amyloytic bacteria. Finally, it lowers a pH level and causes colic. Therefore, standard feed of concentrates and period of feed are important factors to fat up horses. This study was conducted to evaluate the productivity and carcass quality, quantity grade for Jeju horse (24 month old) with different fattening periods (4-, 8- and 13.5-month). The body weights were increased as the fattening periods increased and the increase rate was highest at 4-month group. The daily weight gain was decreased as the fattening periods increased such as 0.46 kg for 4-month group, 0.39 kg for 8-month group and 0.34 kg for 13.5-month groups. The daily intake was increased as the fattening periods increased such as 4.42 kg for 4-month group, 5.00 kg for 8-month group and 5.26 kg for 13.5-month groups. The daily feed conversion was increased as the fattening periods increased such as 11.71% for 4-month group, 17.69% for 8-month group and 18.53% for 13.5-month group. The backfat thicknesses and loin-eye areas were 3.50 mm, 83.50 ㎠ and increased to 4.20 mm, 94.00 ㎠ until they were fattening up for 8-month then they were decreased to 4.00 mm, 89.40 ㎠ when they were fattening up to 13.5-month. There was no significant difference in the meat color among 3 fattening groups, however, the a-values (redness) of meat color and b-values of fat color were highest (5.0 and 3.80, respectively) for 13.5-month group. The texture was not significantly different among 3 fattening groups. The maturity levels were in the 3.8∼4.5. All horses used in the experiment had the quality grade 2 and the horses for 13.5-month group had the quantity grade A, whereas the horses for 4-month group had the quantity grade B or C. Jeju horse had the low quality grade (quality grade 2) although the carcass yield increased when they were fattened from 24 month to 37.5 month.

The occurrence of mastitis in diary cattle has been caused by genetic, physiological, managemental and environment factors accounted for the highest percentage of worldwide disease in dairy cattle. The purpose of this study was to analyze the occurrences and causative bacteria of subclinical mastitis in milking cows and also examine the distribution of bacteria in milk by isolating and identifying bacteria both in whole milk and quarter milk. 31.4% of the milking cows suffered subclinical mastitis, and 9.5% had it in terms of quarter milk. According to the results of analyzing bacteria in quarter milk of which somatic cell count (SCC) was over 500 thousand, 15 kinds of bacteria were isolated, and among them, Pantoea spp. formed the biggest part as 15.8%. From whole milk, 37 kinds of bacteria were identified, and among them, Klebsiella oxytoca showed the highest identification rate as 30.1%. According to the results of bacteria analyzed from the quarter milk of entire milking cows, 52 kinds of bacteria were identified. Among them, 17 kinds of Staphylococci were isolated, and CNS (Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci) formed a large part as 44.9%. The findings of this study showed that various kinds of bacteria were isolated from cows having subclinical mastitis; therefore, when managing specifications about milking or such, dairy farm will have to take proper action like performing sanitary control or counting somatic cells regularly in order to do their best for reducing mastitis.

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is present in many vegetables and fruits, but not in dairy products. GABA is known to be beneficial for preventing neurological disorders and hypertension. The objective of this study was to measure the physicochemical changes, number of lactic acid bacteria, and GABA content in fermented goat milk containing rice (1%). The levels of pH and titratable acidity (TA) in each test samples were found to be pH 4.4∼4.5 and 0.74∼0.8%, respectively. The number of viable lactic acid bacteria between test samples ranged from 8.63 to 8.95 Log CFU/ml. Therefore, pH, TA, and number of viable cells in each test sample had no difference. Furthermore, the Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus SP5 (Lb. bulgaricus SP5) showed the highest GABA production in goat milk containing rice. Its maximum GABA yield was 3.4 mg/100 mL. The results suggest that GABA contents of fermented goat milk containing rice can be enriched using Lb. bulgaricus SP5.

Food safety accidents like the occurrence of domestic animal diseases create an air of anxiety in consumers and increase their concerns about animal welfare. This study investigated consumer awareness of animal welfare livestock and attempted to look into the impacts of consumer awareness on the consumption of livestock product. It analyzed whether there was any difference in considerations of purchasing livestock products depending on awareness of animal welfare and consumption intention using Levene's equal variance test and independent sample t-test, and in order to inquire into the influence relationship of their considerations in purchasing livestock on animal welfare livestock product consumption intention, a binary logistic regression analysis was carried out. As a result of the analysis of consumer awareness, consumers were little aware of animal welfare while they were very interested in animal welfare and had the intent to consume livestock products produced following animal welfare. As a result of the analysis of the difference depending on the awareness and consumption intention of animal welfare using independent sample t-test, it turned out that there was no difference in considerations in purchasing livestock products between people who were aware of animal welfare and those who were not. In the difference depending on consumption intention, people who had the intent to consume animal welfare livestock products cared more than those who did not. Likewise, people who had the intent to consume animal welfare livestock products cared about the place of purchase, price, freshness, taste and quality more than those who were not. As a result of the binary logistic regression analysis of the two factors of internal property and external property of consideration in livestock products, it turned out that internal property only had impacts on consumption intention. Thus, considering the consumers' consciousness that they would like to be provided with safe livestock products relevant to items such as safety and reliability among their considerations in purchasing livestock products, the government and livestock industry should establish an appropriate marketing strategy for animal welfare livestock products

Farm animal welfare means how a farm animal is living with the proper conditions. In modern society, farm animal welfare is essential for sustainable development and humane production of livestock. The initial concept of animal welfare was started from England based on five freedoms, and the animal welfare guideline of OIE (Office International des Epizooties) had become an international standard for animal welfare. OIE’s guideline dealing with transportation, disease prevention and appropriate veterinary treatment, shelter, management and nutrition, humane handling and humane slaughter of farm animal. For the settlement of farm animal welfare, it is necessary to introduce the animal welfare certification standards considering domestic situation, based on the guidelines of OIE standards. The purpose of this review was to; firstly, evaluate global status of farm animal welfare and secondly, suggest several plans for settlement of farm animal welfare in South Korea.

Fruit peels are potential sources of proteases which can help to the proteins digestion and the encapsulation technique is widely used in food industry, which preserves active ingredients in food products by forming coating membrane. In the present study, the effect of addition of encapsulated fruit peels (kiwi, T1; pineapple, T2; pear, T3; fig, T4) on the quality stability of press ham was studied during refrigerated storage (1, 15 and 30 days). In the first experiment, the press ham was prepared with either encapsulated fruit peels or fruit peels powder (without encapsulation) and we observed that the press ham formulated with fruit peels powder showed a texture defect, but no change with encapsulated fruit peels probably due to the proteolytic activity of proteases were prevented by the encapsulation. In the second experiment, the press ham were made with 0.1% encapsulated fruit peels or normal press ham (control) and stored at different days as mentioned above. Our results revealed that T2 showed the highest moisture content, while the control had the highest fat content. The press hams made with all types of encapsulated fruit peels had significantly higher hardness value than the control throughout the storage. Additionally, higher taste, texture and acceptability scores were found in the press ham with encapsulated fruit peels than those in the control. Overall, it is suggested that the addition of encapsulated fruit peels into meat products may enhance the protein digestion and absorption during the digestive processes without the negative effect on texture and sensory traits.
