본 연구는 섬유소분해 효소제를 공급수준에 따라 비육전기 및 비육후기 한우 거세우에 적용하였을 때 성장 및 도체성적에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 수행하였다. 시험동물은 비육전기 및 비육후기 거세우로 각각 54두씩 총 108두를 대상으로 하였으며, 시험 개시 시 공시된 비육전기 및 후기 거세우의 평균체중은 각각 397.4±27.2(평균 17개월령), 525.2±47.4kg(23개월령) 이었다. 시험사료는 비육전기사료와 비육후기 사료를 구분하여 대조구 사료에 섬유소분해 효소제 0.05(E0.05, L0.05), 0.15% (E0.05, L0.15)를 첨가한 비육전기 및 비육후기 각각 3처리구에 각 처리당 6마리씩 3반복으로 완전임의배치하여 실시하였다. 비육후기 한우 거세우에서 농후사료 섭취량은 대조구와 L0.15구에서 L0.05와비교하여 증가하였으며, 총 건물섭취량 역시 동일한 결과를 나타냈다(p<0.001). 반면, 비육전기 및 후기 한우 거세우 모두 증체량 및 사료효율은 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 한편 비육후기 거세우의 도체특성은 L0.05와 L0.15구에서 대조구와 비교하여 지방색이 유의하게 높은 것으로 조사되었다 (p<0.01). 등심조직의 지방산 분석은 대조구와 처리구는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 결과적으로 본 시험에 사용된 섬유소 분해효소의 비육기 한우 거세우에 대한 첨가효과는 등심의 지방색이 짙어진 것을 제외하고 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 추후 볏짚 위주의 조사료 급여체계에서 효소제 첨가수준 및 효소역가에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects on in situ ruminal degradation of feed protein sources (soybean meal, P-SBM; dried distillers grain with solubles, P- DDGS; wheat bran, P-WB) treated with protease as compared with conventional feed protein sources (soybean meal, SBM; dried distillers grain with solubles, DDGS; wheat bran, WB). There was no significant change in the chemical composition and amino acid profiles of enzyme treatment protein sources compared with the non-treated groups (p<0.05). But for treatment groups, the solid content and total amino acids were reduced by increasing the moisture content due to proteolytic conditions. On the entire incubation time in situ ruminal degradation rate of dry matter appeared higher in treatment groups compared to control groups (p<0.05), and that of the treatment groups suspended during 48 hours were in the order of P-SBM (97.70%), P-WB (74.26%) and P- DDGS (72.39%). In particular, DM degradation rate of enzyme treated DDGS significantly increased to 43.62%, 45.99%, 55.97%, 69.87% and 72.39%, respectively, incubated during 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours in rumen (p<0.05). Also protein degradation rate of P-WB and P-SBM significantly decreased compared to their respective non-treated sources; however, by contrast, in DDGS it was increased. For P-SBM, protein degradation rate significantly decreased at 6 and 12 hours, and for P-DDGS it was increased at 3 and 6 hours of suspension times in rumen (p<0.05). In particular, protein degradation rate of enzyme treated group suspended for 48 hours were in the order of P-SBM (91.81%), P-WB (86.36%) and P-DDGS (58.87%). This result suggests that protease treatment of feed protein sources might be utilized to increase the bypass ratio into post-rumen for wheat bran, soybean meal, and to improve the utilization of feed protein.

This study was carried out to elucidate changes in milk production, milk components and milk product properties as influenced by organic and conventional farming system. Milk production in transient organic feeding was lower by 7.6% than that in conventional feeding and also milk fat, milk protein content, solids not fat and somatic cell count were lower than conventional farming system. But, milk lactose content in transient organic feeding was higher than that in conventional feeding. Ca and Fe content in milk in organic feeding tended to be higher compared to conventional feeding. Linoleic acid and unsaturated fatty acids in milk in organic feeding was higher than those in conventional feeding and properties of milk products were improved in organic milk compared to conventional milk.

본 시험은 산양유 생산을 위해 유가사료를 이용하여 유산양의 적정 에너지 및 단백질 공급 수준과 조농비율을 결정하기 위하여 비유중기 Saanen종 유산양 4두(57.5土10.8 kg BW)를 이용하여 4x4 라틴방각법으로 실시하였다. 대사에너지 공급수준과 단백질 공급수준을 10.59 (T1), 10.14 (T2), 9.45 (T3) 및 8.75 (T4) MJ/kg과 11.90 (T1), 12.73 (T2), 15.19 (T3) 및 16.60% (T4)로 달리하였으며, 조농비율은 49:51 (T1), 59:41 (T2), 74:26 (T3) 및 90:10 (T4)의 네 처리구로 나누었다. 사료 섭취량 및 체중은 모든 처리구 사이의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 유량은 T3구에서 가장 높았으며, T2 및 T4구와 비교 하여 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 유지방 함량과 생산량은 T4구에서 다른 처리구와 비교하여 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). 유단백질과 유당 생산량은 T1 (61.29 및 70.95 g/일)과 T3 (60.52 및 75.82 g/일)구에서 T2 (50.49 및 59.64 g/일)와 T4 (52.49 빛 59.82 g/얼)구와 비교하여 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 결과적으로 유산양의 유생산성을 극대화시커기 위해서 에너지 공급수준은 최소 9 MJ/kg 이상과 단백질 공급수준은 최소 15% 이상을 공급해 주어야할 것으로 기대된다.

The main nutritional problem of sorghum×sudangrass (sudangrass) silage is low quality and dry matter (DM) contents. This experiment was conducted to evaluate whether agricultural byproducts addition of sorghum×sudangrass silage increases DM content and forage quality of the silage. Sorghum×sudangrass silage with added byproducts had low pH values, however sorghum×sudangrass silage (control) had a high pH value because of its high moisture content. Silage added with byproduct had lower acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) contents than control silages, while its non-fiber carbohydrate (NFC), and total digestible nutrients (TDN) and lactic acid contents showed the opposite results. Silages added with crushed rice and green grain of rice were higher in lactic acid content than othor treatments as well as high DM, NFC, and TDN contents. Silage added with crushed rice and green grain of rice can be recommended as the most effective treatment for increasing forage quality and DM content of sorghum×sudangrass silage.

The study was performed to evaluate the effects of soybean meal (T1) and corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS, T2) hydrolyzed by microbial proteolytic enzyme of Protame® on milk production and protein contents in dairy cows. Total of nine Holstein cows (i.e., 1.67 ± 0.47 average parity and 23.7 ± 1.2 kg/d average milk yield) were randomly assigned to control, T1, and T2 (e.g., 3 animals per group) and treated for 4 weeks. Milk yield of 3 different groups was similar in the beginning of the study, however the milk yield of T1 and T2 treatment group had increased by 0.93 kg/d and 1.89 kg/d, respectively. Milk protein level of T2 treatment group was increased by 0.19% (e.g., 0.14 kg/d protein content), whereas there was no significant different in control and T1 group. In conclusion, blood metabolites were ranged in normal level, but BUN content was reduced from 19.03 mg/dl to 17.70 mg/dl in T2 treatment group. This result suggests that DDGS hydrolysate supplement efficiently increase milk yield and milk protein level as well as feed protein availability in dairy cattle.
