The effects of different feeding times, using a diet containing 800 ppm betaine, on production, blood profile, and the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), was investigated using 240 Cherry Valley (Anas platyrhynchos) meat ducks exposed to a scorching heat wave. The animals were randomly assigned to four groups, each of which was replicated three times with twenty ducks per replicate. The experimental period was 42 days for each group. Four groups were assigned into C (heat wave control group without betaine), T1 (ad libitum group fed a diet containing 800 ppm betaine), T2 (diet-restricted group fed twice daily between 05:00-10:00 and 17:00-20:00, using a diet containing 800 ppm betaine), and T3 (night-restricted group, fed from 17:00-10:00, with a diet containing 800 ppm betaine). At 42 days, body weight increased in order of T2, T1, T3 compared to the heat wave control group although. However, these differences were not found between the groups of T1 and T3. The heat wave control group, provided an ad libitum diet without betaine (C), showed an elevated feed conversion ratio compared to the groups fed a diet containing betaine. However, these differences were not found between the groups of T1, T2 and T3. RBC and platelet profiles except for PLT and MPV showed statistically significant differences between study groups fed a diet containing betaine. T2 presented significantly higher blood electrolytes Na+ and Cl- than the other groups. T2 also showed a blood gas level that was generally higher than the other groups. Total SCFA, acetic acid and propionic acid concentration has been the increasing trend in T2, but butyric acid, isobutyric acid and valeric acid concentration has been the decreasing trend in T2 compared to the other groups. It is concluded that the feeding-restricted group, fed two times daily between 05:00-10:00 and 17:00-20:00, with a diet containing 800 ppm betaine may improve growth performance in meat ducks exposed to a scorching heat wave.

This study investigated the pharmacodynamics of betaine on the blood profile and short chain fatty acid levels in meat ducks exposed to heat wave. 400 heads of Cherry valley (Anasplatyrhynchos) meat ducks were completely randomized to 5 treatments (4 repetitions each), and were raised for 42 days. They were grouped into T1 (heat wave control group without betaine), T2 (betaine 400 ppm), T3 (betaine 800 ppm), T4 (betaine 1200 ppm), and T5 (normal control group without betaine). Compared to T1, the betaine addition groups showed higher body weight gain at shipment, with T3 showing the highest significant difference. For hematological indictors measured (red blood cells and platelets), the betaine addition groups showed significantly higher values than the heat wave control group. The pH of the former was lower but their electrolytes (K+, P+, and Cl-) were significantly higher compared to the latter. For blood gas concentration, the former showed a significantly higher value than the latter. For the total short chain fatty acids, acetic acid, and propionic acid, the betaine addition groups and group fed broiler-high temperature diet showed higher values than the heat wave control group. On the other hand, the former showed significantly lower values in butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, and isovaleric acid than the latter group. These results suggest that betaine has the pharmacodynamics that mediate heat stress, via the maintenance and control of the blood profile, osmotic pressure, gas concentration, and short chain fatty acid, of meat ducks under heat wave.

This study was determined the hair growth effect and mode of action of a complex extract (abelmo), extracted from various natural plants including Acorus calamus var. angustatus. 30 six-week old C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into three treatment groups with ten mice per treatment group repeatedly. The treatment group is a control group, and was classified into saline-applied, minoxidil 5%-applied, and abelmo-applied groups. Hair growth started from the abelmo-applied and minoxidil 5% -applied groups on the 9th day, compared to the saline-applied group. Hair growth rate was 17.06% and 19.15% in those two groups, respectively, and the abelmo-applied group's hair growth rate was higher. The density, length and thickness of hair were significantly higher in the order of abelmo-applied group, minoxidil 5%-applied group and saline-applied group on the 9th day, and hair root was strongly maintained in the abelmo-applied group. The density, length and thickness of hair in the abelmo-applied group were significantly higher by 599.8, 122.2 and 181.8% on the 9th day compared to the saline-applied group, and 166.7, 171.4 and 200.2% on the 12th day, and 136.6, 216.9 and 180.7%, respectively on the 15th day. As for hair follicle and the length of hair shaft from the dosal skin histopathology manifestation, the abelmo-applied group was more excellent than the saline-applied group and minoxidil 5%-applied group. This result actually confirmed the fact that abelmo promotes hair growth and strongly maintains hair root simultaneously.

This study was carried out to determine the action mechanism of sulfur-grain larvae extract (SGE) on anti-obesity and the reduction of blood lipid level in high-fat diet induced obese model animals. Animals were classified into a normal diet group (NC, normal control), HFD (high-fat diet without SGE), HFD 15 (high-fat diet + oral administration of 15 mg of SGE extract per 100 g body weight) and HFD 30 (high-fat diet + oral administration of 30 mg of SGE extract per 100 g body weight). The body weight gain declined in HFD 15 and HFD 30 groups compared with the HFD group, even though the diet intake increased significantly. The weight of liver and adipose tissue increased significantly in HFD group compared with in the HFD 15 and HFD 30 groups. Triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-C and AI decreased in HFD 15 and HFD 30 groups compared with in the HFD group, but the contents of HDL-C increased significantly. Expression of SREPB-1α, SREPB-2 mRNA in the liver was lower in the high-fat diet group compared with the HFD group, but the expression of LPL mRNA in adipose tissue and PPARα increased significantly. Fat accumulation in the liver tissues and liver damage were greatly reduced in HFD 15 and HFD 30 groups compared with in the HFD group. The size of adipocytes became smaller in the HFD 15 and HFD 30 groups compared with HFD group. In conclusion, this research discovered for the first time that grain maggot has anti-obesity effects, by reducing the abdominal fat of obese model animals and lowering blood lipid level through the down-regulation of PPAR-1α and SREPB-2 mRNA and the up-regulation of PPAR-α mRNA.

최근 유가 상승에 따른 산업 전반적인 비용 상승과 기상이변에 의해 농작물 수확량 감소로 인하여 사료의 가격이 급증하고 있다. 동애등에를 사육하기 위해서는 음식물쓰레기 등의 유기성폐기물을 톱밥과 일정한 비율로 혼합한 후 먹이로 공급해 주며, 동애등에 유충이 음식물쓰레기를 먹고 배설한 분변토 밖으로 나와서 번데기로 탈피하기 좋은 건조한 환경 조건을 찾아서 이동하게 된다. 유충의 약 80%가 밖으로 나올 때 일시에 유충을 분리, 수거하며 생산된 유충은 높은 온도(60℃)의 열을 이용하여 열풍건조 시킨 후에 보관하였다가 사료로서 활용할 수 있다. 본 연구는 산란계 사료 내 동애등에 번데기의 첨가수준에 따른 산란율, 계란품질, 맹장 미생물을 조사하였다. 산란계 120수를 4처리구(BSFP 0,5,7,10%) 3반복으로 완전임의배치 하였다. 대조군과 비교하였을 때 동애등에 번데기(BSFP) 첨가군에서 호우유닛, 난중무게 및 난각두께는 유의하게 높았다(p < 0.05). 산란계 혈액 HDL-C과 면역물질 IgG는 대조군에 비해 BSFP 첨가군에서 유의하게 높았다(p < 0.05). 산란계의 분변미생물 가운데 유익한 미생물 Lactobacillus는 대조군과 비교할 때 BSFP첨가군이 유의하게 높았으며 첨가군사이의 통계적 유의성이 나타났다(p < 0.05). 본 연구결과는 산란계 사료 내 동애등에 번데기 5% 수준을 첨가하면 계란생산성 및 품질향상에 도움이 될 수 있음을 시사해준다.

본 연구는 고콜레스테롤 식이를 섭취한 랫드에서 파리유충 에탄올추출물(Ethanolic extract of fly maggot, EM)의 경구투여가 혈액 지질감소에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Sprague-Dawley 수컷 랫드를 이용하여 4 처리구(EM 투여량; 대조군=0, 5.0, 7.0, 9.0 mg/100 g 체중)로 구분해서 6주 동안 진행하였다. EM 투여군은 대조군과 비교할 때 혈청 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤, LDL-C가 유의하게 낮았다 (p<0.05). HMG-CoA reductase activity는 대조군과 비교할 때 EM 투여군에서 낮았으나 총스테롤, 중성스테롤 및 담즙산 배설량은 EM 투여군에서 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). EM의 혈액 콜레스테롤 감소와 관련한 생물학적 작용기작을 규명하기 위해서 고콜레스테롤 식이를 섭취한 랫드에서 유도된 생체유전자 sterol response element binding proteins (SREBPs) 및 the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARα) 발현을 측정하였다. EM은 고콜레스테롤 식이를 공급받은 랫드의 간에서 SREBP-1α, SREBP-2 mRNA 발현을 억압함과 동시에 PPARα mRNA 발현을 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다 (p<0.05). 본 연구의 결과는 파리유충 에탄올추출물이 고콜레스테롤 식이를 섭취한 랫드에서 지질대사와 관련한 생화학적 매개변수 및 유전자발현 조절을 통하여 혈액 콜레스테롤을 낮춘다는 새로운 사실을 발견하였다.

This experiment evaluated the interaction effect of extreme heat diet(EHD), inverse lighting, and cool water on the growth performance of broiler chickens under extreme heat stress. There were 4 experimental groups (T1: EHD 1, 10:00-19:00 dark, 19:00-10:00 light, cold water 9℃; T2: EHD 2, 10:00-19:00 dark, 19:00-10:00 light, cold water 9℃; T3: EHD 1, 09:00-18:00 dark, 18:00-09:00 light, cold water 14℃; T4: EHD 2, 09:00-18:00 dark, 18:00-09:00 light, cold water 14℃), each group composed of 25 broilers and the experiment was repeated 3 times. EHD 1 contained soybean oil, molasses, methionine and lysine. EHD 2 contained all nutrients of EHD 1 and vitamin C additionally. As a result, T1 and T2 displayed higher body weight increase and diet intake compared to T3 and T4 (p<0.05). The weights of their liver and gizzard were similar but the weights of the thymus and bursa F were higher for T1 and T2 compared to that of T3 and T4 (p<0.05). It was observed that T1 and T2 displayed higher concentrations of blood triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-C and blood sugar compared to that of T3 and T4 but LDL-C level was higher for T3 and T4 compared to that of T1 and T2 (p<0.05). T1 and T2 displayed higher levels of immunity substances such as IgG, IgA and IgM compared to T3 and T4 but the blood level of corticosterone displayed to be lower for T1 and T2 compared to T3 and T4 (p<0.05). The T1 and T2 contained a higher amount of fecal lactobacillus compared to that of T3 and T4 but the T3 and T4 contained a higher amount of fecal E. coli, total aerobic bacteria, coliform bacteria compared o that of T1 and T2 (p<0.05). T1 and T2 displayed higher concentrations of cecal acetic acid, ropionic acid and total short chain fatty acids compared to T3 and T4 but T3 and T4 displayed igher concentrations of butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid and isovaleric acid compared to T1 and T2 (p<0.05). These results have been observed that broiler chickens exposed to extreme eat stress with feeding EHD, inverse lighting and cold water would improve blood lipid, and elevate the production of immunity substance, beneficial microorganisms, and short chain fatty acids. This provision would also reduce the blood sugar consumption rate as energy sources and these effects will improve the growth performance of the broilers exposed to extreme heat.

This study was conducted to evaluate the feeding value of black soldier fly pupa (BSFP) on fecal microorganism, immunoglobulinm egg quality and egg production laying hens. One hundred twenty laying hens were assigned to 4 treatments (0, 5, 7 and 10% BSFP) with 3 replicates for 8 weeks. The formulae of 4 experimental diets were modified to contain 18% CP and 2,900 kcal/kg. All the treated groups differed in feed intake, egg production, egg weight and egg mass compared to those of a control group. The egg weight and production were increased (p < 0.05) in BSFP groups compared to the control. The HDL-C was increased (p < 0.05) in BSFP groups compared to the control. The level of immunoglobulin IgG and Haugh unit were increased (p < 0.05) in BSFP groups compared to the control. These result suggested that the addition of BSFP to the layer diet could improve the egg quality and the laying performance.

동애등에 번데기를 서로 다른 수준(0, 5, 7, 10%)으로 첨가한 실험사료를 섭취한 산란계의 산란성적 및 계란품질 평가를 수행한 결과, 산란율, 난중은 대조군(동애 등에 번데기 0%)과 비교할 때 동애등에 번데기 5% 이상 첨가군이 유의하게 높았으 나 동애등에 번데기 첨가군 사이의 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 혈액 중성지방, 총콜 레스테롤 및 LDL-C은 대조군과 비교할 때 동애등에 번데기 5%이상 첨가군에서 유의하게 낮았으나 HDL-C는 높게 나타났으며 동애등에 번데기 첨가군 사이의 통 계적 유의성이 인정되었다. 혈액 면역물질 IgG 함량은 대조군과 비교할 때 동애등 에 번데기 5% 이상 첨가군이 높게 나타났으며 특히 동애등에 번데기 5%군이 유의 하게 가장 높았다. 맹장의 유익한 미생물 Lactobacillus는 대조군과 비교할 때 동애 등에 번데기 5% 이상 첨가군이 유의하게 높게 나타났으나 유해한 미생물 Salmonella, E. coli는 유의하게 낮아졌고 동애등에 번데기 첨가군 사이의 통계적 유의성이 나타났다. 계란품질 호우유닛, 난각두께 및 파란강도는 대조군과 비교할 때 동애등에 번데기 첨가군이 유의하게 높게 나타났으나 난황색은 유의성이 나타 나지 않았다. 결론적으로, 산란성적, 계란품질 및 경제성을 고려한 산란계 사료 내 동애등에 번데기의 최적 첨가수준은 5%로써 나타났다. 그 이유는 동애등에 번데 기를 산란계 사료 내 5%~10% 수준으로 증가해서 각각 첨가했을 경우 산란성적 및 계란품질에 있어서 5%, 7%, 10%는 모두 동일하게 나타났으며 5%이상의 첨가수 준에서 더 이상 향상되지 않는 안정점(Plateau)에 도달했기 때문이다.

EHS 는 체중 및 사료섭취량을 유의하게 감소하였다. 혈액지질, 혈액 면역물질, F 낭, 흉선 그리고 비장의 무게는 브로일러를 EHS 에 노출하였을 때 유의하게 낮아졌다. 일반 환경온도 처리군과 비교할 때 EHS 처리군에서 맹장 Lactobacillus sp.는 낮았으나 Escherichia sp., Salmonella sp. 및 총호기성균은 높게 나타났으며 각 처리구 사이의 통계적인 유의차가 인정되었다.

본 연구는 산란계 사료 내 돼지감자(Helianthus tuberosus L.)로부터 제조한 미세캡술화 이눌린(microcapsulated inulin, MI)의 고수준 첨가가 혈액지질, 계란콜레스테롤 및 지방산조성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 실시하였다. 25주령 갈색산란계를 이용하여 4주 동안 실험사료를 급여하였으며, 실험처리구는 MI 무첨가 대조군, 800 ppm, 900 ppm 및 1,000 ppm로 구분하였다. 혈액 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤 및 계란 콜레스테롤은 MI 무첨가군과 비교할 때 첨가군에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 계란 포화지방산 조성은 MI무첨가군과 비교할 때 첨가군에서 낮았으나 불포화지방산은 그 반대로 유의하게 높았다. 본 연구결과는 미세캡슐화 이눌린을 산란계 사료 내 첨가해주면 혈액지질 감소에 의해 계란품질을 향상시킬 수 있음을 시사해준다.

본 연구는 아토피 피부염을 갖는 질환동물에서 어성초를 비롯한 다양한 식물추출물을 이용하여 제조한 크림의 항아토피 피부염증에 대한 효능을 평가하였다. BALB/c 마우스 를 이용하여 아토피 피부염 유발 대조군 및 크림 처리군으로 완전 임의 배치하였다. 혈액 IgE와 히스타민 농도는 크림 처리군이 DNCB 유도 아토피 대조군에 비해서 유의하게 감소하였으며, 아토피 피부염이 심각한 상태의 마우스에서 정상적인 피부상태로 회복되었음을 관찰하였다. 본 결과는 아토피질환 모델 BALB/c 마우스에서 어성초 혼합 식물추출물의 투여가 혈액 IgE를 낮춤과 동시에 비만세포에서 생성되는 히스타민의 배출량을 억제함으로써 항아토피 효능을 갖는다는 점을 시사 해준다.

The objective of this study was to determine the feeding effect of a diet containing Cordyceps with fly pupa on the changes in blood lipid profile from broiler chickens, fatty acids and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in chicken meat. A total of 360 chicks (Ross strain 308) were divided on hatch day into four treated groups with respect to a 35-day feeding regimen: T1 (control group), T2 (2.0% Cordyceps with fly pupa), T3 (3.5% Corceps with fly pupa) and T3 (5.0% Cordyceps with fly pupa). Blood triacylglyceride and total cholesterol level was significantly decreased by 5.32-10.63% and 9.23-12.62%, respectively, in groups T2, T3 and T4 when compared to T1 (p<0.05). Water holding capacity was significantly highest in T2 (p<0.05), while there were no significant differences among groups T2, T3 and T. In chicken meat, the ratio of saturated fatty acid to unsaturated fatty acid was high in the T3 and T4 groups, the ratio of n-6 to n-3 fatty acid was low in the T2, T3 and T4 groups and oleic acid (18:1n-9) was high in the T2, T3 and T4 groups, when compared to T1 (p<0.05). TBARS tended to increase according to the storage time (in days), and was significantly lower in the chicken thigh muscles with skin in groups T2, T3 and T4 as compared to T1 (p<0.05). These results suggest that a diet containing 2.0-3.5% of Cordyceps with fly pupa may decrease blood lipid and improve both the shelf-life and quality of broiler chicken meat.

The author previously reported that the addition of inuloprebiotics to broiler diets produces growth performance that is superior to antibiotic supplementation. The present study furthered this work by evaluating the quality with thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) of the meat from chickens fed inuloprebiotics produced using Korean Jerusalem artichoke. Male Ross 308 broilers (n=240) were randomly allotted to a 35 day regimen of dietary control (no supplementation), dietary antibiotics supplementation (8 mg avilamycin/kg diet), or dietary inuloprebiotic supplementation (450 mg inuloprebiotics/kg diet). The pH, water holding capacity, L*value (lightness), and b*value (yellowness) of the chicken meat weres ignificantly higher in the inuloprebiotic group. The TBARS value of chicken meat stored at low temperature tended to increase according to the length of storage, and was significantly lower in the inuloprebiotics group. The sensory scores of the cooked chicken meat were significantly higher in the inuloprebiotics group. The results indicate that the addition of inuloprebiotics as anantimicrobial agent to broiler diets can greatly improve the quality and self-life with reducing TBARS of chicken meat.

The bioactive effects of ethanol extracts from fly maggot (ME) on reduction of plasma lipids levels in rats fed high-fat diets (Expt. Ⅰ), and on liver function recovery of hepatotoxicity rats by intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) or by orally administration of alcohol (Expt. II) were investigated. In expt. I, twenty seven, male rat SDS(sprague dawley strain) were randomly assigned to three treated groups, including normal control group, HF (group with high fat diets which have no extracts) and HFE (HF plus orally administered doses of ME extract at 5.0 mg/100g of body weight). In expt. II, forty five, male rats (SDS) were randomly assigned to each of the five groups: T1 (control), T2 (intraperitoneal injection of CCl4), T3 (intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 after orally administered with ME), T4 (orally administered with combination of ME and alcohol), T5 (orally administration of ME after orally administered with alcohol). There were significant decreases in plasma (TAG), (TC), (LDL-C) in the HFE group with orally administered doses of ME at 5.0 mg/100g of body weight, respectively, however, the (HDL-C) were significantly increased in HFE group as compared to HF group with high fat diets which have no extracts (p〈0.05). The levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamyl transferse(γ-GTP) and bilirubin were highest in T2 or T3, and high in order T4 or T5, and lowest in T1 except for bilirubin which has same with T4, T5 (p〈0.05). The high recovery of liver damage by CCl4 from the light microscopic appearance was observed in rats (T3) with extracts, and also high in T4 than T5 by orally administrated with alcohol. In conclusion, the ethanol extracts from fly maggot may have a bioactive effects to prevent for human lipids disorder and alcoholic disease.
