This study evaluated the efficacy of a wild boar repellent (Repellent A) consisting of tannins and plant oils (castor oil, garlic oil, and cinnamon oil). Sixty farmed wild boars (4-8 months old) were divided into three groups: the normal control group (NC, n=20), the experimental group (EP, n=20), and the comparative experimental group (C-EP, n=20), which used Repellent B consisting of guaiacol, eugenol, menthol, thymol, and indole. EP and C-EP were equipped with four repellents per feeder, while no repellents were installed in the NC feeder. The feed intake and the number of feeding approaches were measured for one week in all groups. The number of approach of wild boars in feeders was monitored daily using a CCTV camera. The daily feed intake per farmed wild boar in EP and C-EP was significantly decreased compared to NC (p<0.05), and EP was significantly decreased compared to C-EP (p<0.05). In the average number of daily approaches, EP and C-EP were significantly decreased compared to NC (p<0.05), and EP was significantly decreased compared to C-EP (p<0.05). In conclusion, Product A has been confirmed to have excellent repellent effects on wild boars, and it could be used to prevent wild boars from approaching pig farms.

From 2020, Korean Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency has reset the withdrawal time (WT) for veterinary drugs typically used in livestock in preparation for the introduction of positive list system (PLS) program in 2024. This study was conducted to reset the MRL for tiamulin (TML) in broiler chickens as a part of PLS program introduction. Forty-eight healthy Ross broiler chickens were orally administered with TML at the concentration of 25 g/L (TML-1, n=24) and 50 g/L (TML-2, n=24) for 5 days through drinking water, respectively. After the drug treatment, tissue samples were collected from six broiler chickens at 1, 2, 3 and 5 days, respectively. According to the previously established analysis method, residual TML concentrations in poultry tissues were determined using LC-MS/MS. In TML-1, TML in all tissues was detected less than LOQ at 2 days after drug treatment. In TML-2, TML in liver and kidney was detected more than LOQ at 2 days after treatment. According to the European Medicines Agency’s guideline on determination of withdrawal periods, withdrawal periods of TML-1 and TML-2 in poultry tissues were established to 0 and 2 days, respectively. In conclusion, the estimated WT of TML in poultry tissues is shorter than the current WT recommendation of 5 days for TML in broiler chickens.

This study evaluated the virucidal efficacy of a chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas-generating fumigation disinfectant consisting of sodium chlorate solution (25% sodium chlorate) and reaction solution against avian influenza virus (AIV). After AIV suspensions had been deposited on stainless steel carriers, the 9 dried carriers were exposed to the fumigant (sodium chlorate solution: 8.5, 17, 34, 50, and 100 mL) in a 25-m³ test room for 2, 3, and 4 h, respectively. Thereafter, all carriers were submerged in a neutralizing solution (20% fetal bovine serum) to scrape off the surviving viruses, and the respective suspensions were diluted. Each diluent was inoculated into the allantoic membrane of five 10-day-old embryos. After incubation for 5 days at 37℃, AIV viability in the collected allantoic fluids was examined, and the egg infectious dose 50 (EID50) was calculated. When the carrier was exposed to ClO2 gas generated from reacting 34 mL of the fumigant for 3 h, the AIV titer reduced by more than 104.0 EID50/carrier compared to the control, which was exposed to the fumigant without inoculation of AIV suspension. In addition, the control was non-toxic to the embryos.

This study evaluated the fungicidal efficacy of weakly acidic hypochlorous acid water (WAHW) against Microsporum canis (M. canis) and its therapeutic effect on M. canis-infected mouse skin. WAHW was produced by a WAHW generation module. A fungicidal efficacy test by the broth dilution method was used to determine the lowest effective concentration of the WAHW. The lowest effective concentration of WAHW was less than 10 ppm. For T-1, T-2, and T-3, 30 ppm of WAHW was applied to the infected skin once, twice, and three times a day, respectively, and for T-4, 50 ppm of WAHW was applied once a day. On the 3rd day after the initiation of treatment, skin scores in all of the WAHW-treated groups were significantly decreased compared to those in the positive control group (PC) (p<0.05), and there were no significant differences compared to the normal control (NC). The area of the infected skin in all of the WAHW-treated groups was significantly decreased compared to PC from the first day after the initiation of WAHW treatment (p<0.05). The results showed that WAHW had a fungicidal efficacy on M. canis at less than 10 ppm, and it was effective in improving skin symptoms when 30 ppm of WAHW was applied to the M. canis-infected area once a day for five days or 50 ppm of WAHW was applied once a day.

우리나라는 2018년에「해양공간계획법」을 제정하여 해양공간을 통합적으로 관리하고자 하였다. 그러나 동법은 해양거버넌스 및 해양공간정보를 통합적으로 관리 할 시스템에 관하여 촘촘한 입법체계를 마련하고 있지 못하였다. 그 결과 동법이 해양이용 갈등을 실효적으로 해결할 수 있는지에 관한 의문이 제기되어 왔다. 이에 본 논문은「해양공간계획법」의 한계 도출과 개선방안을 제시할 목적 으로 국내「해양공간계획법」과 해외 해양공간계획(MSP) 법제를 비교법적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과 MSP의 핵심은 방대한 해양공간정보를 표준화하여 의사 결정권자에게 최적의 해양공간 이용 시나리오를 과학적 자료로 제시하고, 이 자 료에 기반하여 해양이용·관리 수단을 통합적으로 연계하는 것임을 파악하였다. 그리고 이 핵심을 이행하기 위하여 다수의 국가가 구체적인 방식은 서로 다르 지만 해양공간정보를 통합적으로 관리할 시스템을 운영하고, MSP 이행을 점검 및 관리하기 위한 조직체계를 구축하였음을 발견하였다. 이 중 MSP의 핵심을 정부 차원에서 가장 체계적으로 뒷받침하고 있는 미 국, 영국, 중국의 법·제도를 분석한 결과 우리나라의 통합적 해양공간계획을 위해 전담기구의 설립 및 통합해양정보지원시스템 구축이 필요하다는 결론을 도출하였다.연구결과를 실현하기 위한 구체적 방법으로는 해양공간계획 전담 기구에게 해양 이용 및 관리에 관한 인·허가를 의제 할 것을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 해양공간계획을 실효적으로 집행하기 위한 법적 기반을 마련 하여 해양용도구역 지정 기준의 불확실성을 방지하고 국민의 수용성 제고에 기여할 수 있다. 또한 MSP에 기반한 통합적 해양공간 관리체계 구축을 통해 해양공간 이용상충 갈등을 해결하는 것에 공헌할 것이다.
