The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of feeding dietary legislation sulfur on the lipid levels of chicken meat and growth performance in broilers. A total of 180 male broilers (Ross strain 308) were randomly assigned into three treated groups with triplicate of 20 birds each, T1 (control group), T2 (antibiotics 8 ppm), and T3 (0.3% sulfur premix containing 30% of sulfur) groups. The body weight gains over a 3-wk period were significantly higher in T2 and T3 groups than the T1 group, but not different between T2 and T3. The dressing percentage, weight of thigh meat, breast muscle and bursa of F were significantly high in T2 and T3 groups compared to the T1 group, but not different between T2 and T3. The weight of abdominal fat was significantly higher in T3 group than in T1 and T2 groups. The cholesterol content of the whole chicken meat was significantly lower in the T3 group as compared to the T1 and T2 groups. The oleic acid (18:1n-9) content of whole chicken meat from the T3 group was higher than that of the other groups. The results of this study suggests that feeding dietary sulfur as an antibiotic replacement may increase the oleic acid and reduce the cholesterol in chicken meat while improving the carcass characteristics and growth performance in broiler chickens

This study aims to analyze region-specific trends in changing greenhouse gas emissions in incineration plants of local government where waste heat generated during incineration are reused for the recent five years (2009 to 2013). The greenhouse gas generated from the incineration plants is largely CO2 with a small amount of CH4 and N2O. Most of the incineration plants operated by local government produce steam with waste heat generated from incineration to produce electricity or reuse it for hot water/heating and resident convenience. And steam in some industrial complexes is supplied to companies who require it for obtaining resources for local government or incineration plants. All incineration plants, research targets of this study, are using LNG or diesel fuel as auxiliary fuel for incinerating wastes and some of the facilities are using LFG(Landfill Gas). The calculation of greenhouse gas generated during waste incineration was according to the Local Government's Greenhouse Emissions Calculation Guideline. As a result of calculation, the total amount of greenhouse gas released from all incineration plants for five years was about 3,174,000 tCO2eq. To look at it by year, the biggest amount was about 877,000 tCO2eq in 2013. To look at it by region, Gyeonggido showed the biggest amount (about 163,000 tCO2eq annually) and the greenhouse gas emissions per capita was the highest in Ulsan Metropolitan City(about 154 kCO2eq annually). As a result of greenhouse gas emissions calculation, some incineration plants showed more emissions by heat recovery than by incineration, which rather reduced the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions. For more accurate calculation of greenhouse gas emissions in the future, input data management system needs to be improved.
