본 연구는 옥수수 수확 시 세절여부에 따라 제조된 옥수수 사일리지를 이용하여 TMR 제조시 배합시간에 따른 물리적 특성(Particle size 및 laceration)과 반추위 내 in situ 건물분해율에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 수행되었다. TMR 시험사료는 세절(20 mm)한 것(T1구)과 세절하지 않은 옥수수 사일리지(T2구)를 이용하여 총 60분간 배합하면서 시료를 채취한 후 Penn State Particle Separator(PSPS)로 분석하였다. 모든 배합시간에서 T2구보다 T1구에서 상층(>19 mm)과 하층(<8 mm)이 유의적으로 낮았고(p<0.05), 중층(8-19 mm)은 유의적으로 높았으며, 굵은 비율(≥1 mm)의 감소율도 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 peNDF>8.0 및 반추위 내 in situ 건물분해율도 T1구에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 본 연구 결과에서 옥수수 사일리지 위주의 TMR 제조 시 세절하지 않은 것보다 세절한 옥수수 사일리지가 적정 peNDF 범위가 유지되어 조사료로서 사료적 가치를 증진하는데 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Biodiesel fuel as an alternative fuel for diesel engine has a great possibility to solve the problem such as air pollution caused by exhaust gas emission of the automobile. In this study, the usability of non-esterfied biodiesel fuel as alternative fuel is investigated in an indirect injection diesel engine. New concept biodiesel fuel has no glycerin generated by esterfication process and reduces the 20% of cost because of no use of methanol in the production process. Experiments were conducted by using the four blends with different volumetric percentage of biodiesel (0, 20, 50 and 100) in baseline diesel fuel. The smoke emission of biodiesel fuel was reduced in comparison with diesel fuel, but power and brake specific energy consumption was similar to diesel fuel

The objective of this study was to know the in vitro effects of supplemental anthelmintic plant extracts on the inhibition of protozoa for reducing methane production in the rumen. A fistulated Holstein cow was used as a donor of rumen fluid. The plant extracts (Lonicera japonica, Zanthoxylum piperitum, Pyrethrum, Torreya nucifera, Ruta graveolens) known to have anthelmintic effect were added to the in vitro fermentation bottles containing the rumen fluid and medium. The rumen protozoal population was depressed by the addition of Pyrethrum, Torreya nucifera and Ruta graveolens. The methane production was also significantly (p<0.05)reduced by addition of Pyrethrum (2.20 ml/g DM), Torreya nucifera (2.36 ml/g DM) and Ruta graveolens (2.20 ml/g DM). The microbial growth in the treatments of Ruta graveolens or anthoxylum piperitum was the greatest after 12 h and 24 h incubations, respectively. The results of this study indicated that anthelmintic plant extracts appeared to reduce methane production by inhibition of ruminal protozoa related with the methanogens living endosymbiotic in protozoal cells.

An experiment was conducted to study effects of abomasal infusions of casein, glucose or starch on milk production and blood metabolites in dairy cows. Four lactating cows (559±41.9kg) fitted with 100 mm ruminal cannulas were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square experiment. The cows were given access ad libitum to grass silage and received 6.2 kg dry matter (DM) of a mixture of rapeseed meal (5.3kg/d DM) and barley grain (0.9kg/d DM) as a basal diet (CON), the basal diet plus intra-abomasal infusions of 270 g sodium caseinate (CAS), 300 g of glucose (GLU) or 243 g of starch (STA) starting at 09:00 h each day. Abomasal infusion of different nutrients did not affect (p>0.05) grass silage intake and rumen fermentation parameters (rumen pH, ammonia N and volatile fatty acids). As unexpected, milk yield and composition data did not differ between CON and the treated groups (p>0.05). Most of plasma amino acids were not significantly (p>0.05) affected by the abomasal infusions of CAS, GLU or STA except for histidine, tryptophan and glycine. Although histidine, known as the first limiting amino acid in dairy cows fed grass silage based diets, was significantly (p=0.003) increased by CAS, we failed to result in a clear increase in milk yield and protein yield. This discrepancy between plasma AA profiles and milk production could be presumably explained by relatively high concentration of total amino acids in the present study (2,039μmol/l).

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel of petroleum and has an effect on reducing smoke because that contains oxygen itself. This study shows the results on the durability of diesel engine with 4% biodiesel and WDP 1% as an alternative fuel during 110 hours. Engine dynamometer testing was complete at regularly scheduled intervals to monitor the engine performance an exhaust emissions. Through this experimental result, there was no clogging of the nozzle tip, and there was not carbon deposit on the injector tip. And, there was no unusual deterioration of the engine, or any unusual change in exhaust emission from using the blending fuel.

The smoke emission of biodiesel fuel was reduced remarkably in comparison with diesel fuel, that is, it was reduced approximately 36% at 2000rpm, full load condition. And, power, torque and brake specific energy consumption showed no significant differences. However, NOx emission of biodiesel fuel was increased compared with commercial diesel fuel. Also, the effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) to reduce the NOx emission has been investigated. It was found that simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx was achieved with biodiesel fuel(20vol-%) and cooled EGR method(10 ∼15%).

In this study, the potential possibility of bioenergy was investigated as an alternative fuel for a naturally aspirated indirect injection diesel engine. The smoke emission of biodiesel fuel was reduced remarkably in comparison with diesel fuel, that is, it was reduced approximately 64% at 2500rpm, full load condition. And, power, torque and brake specific energy consumption showed no significant differences. However, NOx emission of biodiesel fuel was slightly increased compared with the commercial diesel fuel.

The demand of energy is increasing around the world due to the high dependency of our society on energy. So the worldwide recognition of the limited supply of fuels has led to a large scale effort in search of alternative energy sources. Biodiesel has been considered as an alternative fuel to the petroleum diesel in compression ignition engines and is receiving more and more attention. Biodiesel can be obtained by the transesterification of methanol with triglycerides, with glycerin as by- product. This paper introduces the transesterification reaction of lard oil with methanol in the presence of hexane as solvent and potassium hydroxides as catalyst. Different from other researches, a new method to analyze the reaction process in this research was developed by starting with the by-product, crude glycerin. This new method was verified and the effects of various parameters such as solvent, molar ratio of methanol to oil (3:1-12:1), catalyst concentration (0.5-4 wt%) on the traneseterification process were investigated. Molar ratio of methanol to oil was optimized and identified to be 8:1, catalyst concentration of 2 wt% with hexane as solvent and at a temperature of 57℃ were found to be optimum for the reactions. Under this condition for 4 hours, the production yield can be 96.95%.

A survey project of TRAO with the fifteen beam array receiver system is presented. A multibeam array receiver system has been purchased from FCRAO, and is being installed on TRAO 14m telescope. The target region of the survey is from ι=120° ~137°, b=-1°~+1°, and velocity resolution would be 1 km/sec after smoothing from the original resolution of 0.64km s-1in the transition of J = 1-0 of 13CO The survey region is a part of the 12CO Outer Galaxy Survey(OGS), and would be an extension of the Bell Laboratories 13CO Galactic Plane Survey. By combining with the existing 12CO database of the Outer Galaxy Survey, we will derive physical properties of identified molecular clouds and will conduct and statistical analysis of the Outer Galalxy molecular clouds. Reduction process and analysis methods will be introduced.
