The objective of this study was to estimate the effects of test seasons on backfat thickness and age at 90 kg body weight in Duroc pig populations. Data of a total of 40,228 Duroc pigs performance tested from 2005 to 2014 were used. The effects of sexes, years and seasons of the tests were significant (p<0.01) for the both traits. The least squares mean of the age at 90 kg body weight of the pigs tested in 2014 was significantly less than that of the pigs tested in the previous years. And the pigs tested in spring reached 90 kg body weight faster than the pigs tested in the other seasons. The least squares mean of backfat thickness of the pigs tested in autumn was thicker than that of the pigs tested in the other seasons. Pigs tested in spring had the thinnest backfat. There were seasonal variations in the least squares mean estimates of the age at 90 ㎏ both in male pigs (134.06 to 134.36 days), and in female pigs (139.47 to 139.65 days). Seasonal variations were also detected in least sqaures means of the backfat thicknesses in male pigs (11.31-11.34 ㎜) and in female pigs (13.05-13.07 ㎜). The simple and rank correlation coefficients between breeding values estimated using the trait values unadjusted for seasonal effects and those using the trait values pre-adjusted for seasonal effects trait values were all unity, for the both traits. These results indicate that the adjustment of the trait values with regards to seasonal variation had no effects on the estimates from genetic evaluations.

The objective of this study was to investigate the efficiency of nicotinic acid during in vitro fertilization (IVF) in frozen-thawed bull sperm . The ejaculated semen was diluted with Triladyl containing 20% egg-yolk and cryopreserved in liquid notrigen. The frozen sperm was thawed for 45 seconds in the 38℃ water bath. Sperm was diluted with IVF medium (Bovine-Oviduct medium; BO) containing 0, 15, 30 and 60 mM nicotinic acid (NA), which were incubated at 39℃, 5% CO2 for 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4h. The characteristics of frozen-thawed sperm were estimated with SYBR14/PI double staining for viability, FITC-PNA/PI for outer acrosomal membrane damage and Rhodamine123/PI for mitochondrial integrity using flow cytometry. And the sperm ability was analysed by Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) staining for acrosome reaction state and Rose bengal staining for abnormality. Acrosome reaction and abnormality were analyzed using a microscope. In results, sperm viability was significantly higer in 30 mM group than 0 and 15 mM groups at 1 and 2 h (p<0.05). Outer acrosomal membrane damage was significantly lower in 30 mM group than 0 and 15 mM groups at 1, 2 and 4 h (p<0.05). And mitochondrial integrity was significantly higher in 30 mM group than 0 and 15 mM groups at 2 and 4 h (p<0.05). Also, acrosome reaction was significantly lower in 30 mM than 0 and 15 mM groups at 1 and 2 h (p<0.05) and abnormality was lower NA groups than 0 group at 1 h (p<0.05). In couclusion, we suggest that using the thawing medium containing NA for sperm dilution can be benefical for IVF in bulls

The objective of this study was to identify the phenotypic relationships among calving difficulty, calf birth weight and gestation length of Holstein dairy cattle under the environment of Korea. A total of 1,834 calving records collected by Dairy Science Division of National Institute of Animal Science, RDA from 2000 to 2014 was analyzed. General linear multivariate models for calving difficulty scores (CD: 1=no assistance, 2=minor assistance, 3=two to three persons assisted, 4=more than three persons assisted, 5=cesarean section), calf body weight at birth (BW), and gestation length (GL) included fixed effects of year and season (spring, summer, autumn, winter) of births (YS), sex of calves, and parity. For GL and BW, all three fixed effects (YS, sex of calves, parity) were significant (p<0.05). For CD, the effects of YS and sex of calves were significant (p<0.05). Bull calves were born with heavier BW by 3.18 kg, with greater CD by 0.18 point and with longer GL by 0.6 days than heifer calves. The least squares mean of BW was the heaviest at the third parity (44.1 kg) compared to those at the first, the second and the fourth parities or later (41.3-41.9 kg). The least squares mean CD at the first parity was 1.74 point, which was higher than CD at the second and later parities (about 1.68 points). Phenotypic correlation (partial residual correlation) between GL and BW was 0.36. But those between GL and CD and between BW and CD were -0.03 and 0.04, almost zeros. To conclude, we observed higher incidence of calving difficulty in the first calving than in the later ones. Further investigation on the relationships between calf’s birth weight and calving difficulty is needed

The objective of the research was to identify the presence of adiponectin receptors and to study adiponectin action on glucose uptake and growth in mouse mammary epithelial cells. These cells expressed adiponectin receptors, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2. Insulin (10 ng/ml) or insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I, 10 ng/ml) alone did not alter the degree of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 genes expression from 0 to 4 h incubation. Prolactin (10 ng/ml) or epidermal growth factor (EGF, 10 ng/ml) alone also did not induce the two genes’ mRNA in the incubation time. Adiponectin (1 μg/ml) alone or pre-incubation of insulin alone (100 ng/ml) for 2 h prior to adiponectin stimulation did not increase 2-deoxy-D-glucose,[1,2-3H] uptake but adiponectin+pre-incubation of insulin significantly increased glucose uptake compare to control (p<0.05). In a similar way, insulin alone or pre-incubation of adiponectin alone (2 h) did not increase glucose uptake but insulin+pre-incubation of adiponectin increased glucose uptake compare to control (p<0.05). Insulin sensitization for 2 h prior to adiponectin stimulation tended to increase glucose uptake response by the following adiponectin stimulation showing small interaction effect between insulin and adiponectin (p<0.1). However, adiponectin sensitization for 2 hours prior to insulin stimulation did not shown interaction effect between adiponectin and insulin (p>0.1). The glucose uptake by both of hormones seems to be not interactive but additive (p<0.05). Adiponectin in the presence of 2% FBS decreased DNA synthesis of mammary epithelia (p<0.05). AICAR (100 or 200 μM), AMPK activator, decreased mammary epithelial cell growth in the presence of 2% FBS. These results indicate that adiponectin pathway has inhibitory effect on mammary epithelial cell growth.

A total of 240 growing pigs were distributed in three treatment groups to investigate the influence of fermentation in different feeder type on the growing finishing pigs. The treatments were dry feeding (DF), wet feeding (WF) with dry-wet feeders and liquid feeding (LF) with freshly prepared 3:1 water to feed ratio fed three times a day throughout the experiment. The average daily gain (ADG) and body weight were consistently greater (p<0.05) in LF than the others. When the entire experimental period was taken under consideration the ADG and body weight was also found to be increased (p<0.05) in WF in comparison to DF. The average daily feed intake (ADFI) and growth to feed ratio (G/F) was not affected however the average daily water intake (ADWI) and water to feed ratio (W/F) were significantly reduced (p<0.01) in WF in comparison to DF and LF. The ATTD of DM, GE and CP was increased (p<0.05) in WF and LF in comparison to DF at both phase I and II (4th and 8th wk) of the experiment. Carcass characteristics and blood parameters were not affected (p>0.05) in any of the feeding type in growing finishing pigs. It can be concluded that wet feeding with dry-wet feeders is good for enhancing the growth performance in the later stages while fresh liquid feeding in ratio 3:1 is beneficial for the growing finishing pigs throughout the experiment.

This research was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical properties of semi-dried jerky made from uncastrated (U) and castrated (C) deer meat. The jerky was manufactured by mixing the ground lean meat with spices followed by drying process, packed and stored aerobically at 25℃ for 20 days. The pH of uncastrated raw meat was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of castrated meat as well as the pH of the jerky. No effects were found on color, hardness and sensory scores of jerky. Castrated jerky had higher fat content than uncastrated jerky (p<0.05), after 20 days of storage, its TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) value was higher than uncastrated jerky (p<0.01). These results suggest that castration contributed to higher fat content and lipid oxidation of semi-dried venison jerky than the uncastrated, without any significant effects on texture and sensory attributes. However, proper packaging should be considered to inhibit lipid oxidation.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different rearing spaces on growth performances, behavioral traits, and blood parameters in Hanwoo (Korean Native Cattle) heifers and steers. The average daily gain and feed conversion ratio were measured to assess the growth performance. A total of 54 Hanwoo heifers and steers at 18 months old, were housed separately in groups of 2, 3 or 4 heads in a pen (32 m2) for nine months. In the case of the heifers, the growth performances were significantly (p<0.05) improved by increasing the 2 head group size with the exception of the 18 month old heifers. However, among the steers the growth performances were significantly enhanced (p<0.05) after 18 months of age, by increasing the 3 heads group size. In addition, the heifers in groups of 2 heads spent less time standing and more time lying down or walking, and also had a significantly (p<0.05) lower frequency of self-grooming, scratching, and fighting. These findings are similar to the results obtained for steers housed in 2 or 3 heads per group. The steers housed in 2, 3 heads groups spent more time feeding and consequently had a significantly (p<0.05) lower frequency of pair-wise grooming and Leaning. The heifers and steers housed in groups of 4 heads showed lowest red blood cell counts, but highest cortisol content with statistical significance at p<0.05. The heifers in groups of 2 heads had the highest hemoglobin concentrations (p<0.05). On the other hand, white blood cell count was found to be the lowest in groups of 2 steers with statistical significance at p<0.05. We conclude that a large rearing space improved growth performances, behavioral characteristics, and blood parameters in Hanwoo heifers and steers. In the future, this data could be used to improve the welfare of rearing Hanwoo cattle.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of pen and group size on behavioral characteristics of Hanwoo steers. Forty-eight beef steers, all 15 months of age, were used in this study, and were assigned to 3 groups: control (4/35.28 ㎡), treatment 1 (8/70.56 ㎡), and treatment 2 (12/105.84 ㎡). In addition, behavioral characteristics were analyzed every 2 days in each month using CCTV cameras. Each behavior of the treatment group was observed significantly more frequently (p<0.05) than the corresponding behavior of the control group in summer, especially feeding behavior. In addition, no significant difference was observed between the treatment groups. Locomotion was observed for a significantly longer duration in the control group than in the treatment groups (p<0.05), and resting was observed for slightly longer in the treatment groups than in the control group. Fighting behavior, related to social status, was observed significantly more frequently in the control group than in the treatment groups (p<0.05). In winter, feeding behavior was observed for a significantly longer duration in the control group than in the treatment groups (p<0.05) On comparing the behavior of Hanwoo steers during different seasons, we found that the steers showed more resting behavior during summer and more feeding behavior and movement during winter. The above results suggest that the behavioral characteristics of Hanwoo steers depend on the pen and group size, based on the higher frequency of fighting, rubbing, and scratching observed in the treatment groups than in the control group. The results also suggest that the behavioral characteristics of Hanwoo steers depend on the environmental conditions, as shown by the seasonal differences in behavior. Under conditions of high temperature stress, Hanwoo steers showed increased lying down, drinking and grooming behavior to counter this stress. The findings of this study can be applied to management practices for animal welfare and producticon of cattle in both growing and fattening periods.

Consumers may have different reasons to buy the animal welfare eggs by purchase places. They may have preferred places to buy the eggs, also. The objective of this study was to compare the purchase places for the eggs. If the producers of the eggs understand the different reasons by the places, they will establish marketing strategies for the eggs by the purchase places. A total of 355 Korean consumers was surveyed. There were statistical significances at traditional market, major retail outlet, and convenience store for female consumers and at traditional market, major retail outlet, department store, internet shopping and convenience store for married people. For age groups, over 40s group showed a significance at traditional market, major retail outlet, department store and convenience store. There were statistically significant at traditional market, major retail outlet, and convenience store for the respondents who had over three million won as their monthly income. It was significantly proven at traditional market and major retail outlet for full time housewives. From the results of the study, the following marketing strategies can be suggested for the places to buy the eggs by demographic classification. The producers should classify the markets and focus their strategies to each place for increasing their market share. These results suggest that focus on traditional market for female and middle-aged group, and retail shop like discount store for the people classified by over 3 million won in income. This study also could be used to aid marketing strategy and animal welfare eggs research.

Evidences from the past century have recorded that global warming has been increasing constantly and will continue to rise at the rates that are estimated to be between 0.1 to 0.2℃ per decade in the next century. We cannot negate the fact that rising temperatures would also effect harshly to animal sector particularly dairy sector. So far, it has been noticed that rising temperatures causing heat stress among dairying. However, at cellular level molecular chaperones (genes/heat shock proteins) gets activated and released. Genes that get up/down regulated following heat stress have been shown to be involved in protein folding, protein degradation, protein synthesis and detoxification, oxygen transport, phosphorylation etc. in different animals. In this study we discuss the impact of heat stress on cow’s dairy capacity, health and alongside the responses of different molecular chaperones in protecting the existing proteins for routine health and production. Additionally, the different mechanism that underlie activation of the heat shock proteins response and the role of heat shock proteins as cyto-protective molecules to develop them into active molecules as regulators of heat stress in animals.
