This study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary whole-crop barley silage on the daily feed intake, daily weight gain, velvet antler yield and economic efficacy in elk during growth. A total of 21 elk (average BW 303 kg, 5 years old) were allotted randomly to three treatments. The three treatments were T1 (hay diet), T2 (whole-crop barley silage), and T3 (50% hay + 50% whole-crop barley silage). The average daily weight gain of T3 was higher than the others throughout the entire experimental period. The average daily feed intake of elk in decreasing order was as follows; T1>T3>T2. The velvet antler yield was higher in T3 group (8,585 g) compared with T1 (8,037 g) and T2 (7,713 g). However, there were no significant differences in the average daily feed intake, average daily weight gain, or velvet antler yield (p>0.05). In economic efficacy, T3 was gained about 29~43% more value than T1 or T2. In conclusion, the mixed feeding of 50% hay and 50% whole-crop barley silage was more effective than feeding hay of barley alone, in terms of average daily weight gain, velvet antler yield, and economic efficacy in elk.

There are many risks in using grass cutter because of the pebble in grass and high speed rpm when the cutter hits the hard objects in grass. In this study, the existing patents are surveyed and classified for the new mechanism about the bottom safety cover. The new mechanism was modelled and the planetary gear are designed. The power source (engine or motor) will rotate the sun gear and the carrier of planetary gear is fixed into handle frame. The ring gear will drive the final cutter. The carrier fixed the bottom safety cover through the planetary gear hole at the handle bar. In this paper, we develop a new mechanism and analyze the idea for safe grass cutter and investigate the possibility of having patent through patent search.

Negative implications of indiscriminate use ofherbicides in agricultural systems have forced the scientific community to develop alternate weed control strategies. Allelopathy appears one of the possible alternatives for achieving sustainable weed management. Study was designed to evaluate the allelopathic potential of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Azargol) water extracts on germination, early seedling growth and lipid peroxidation of Johnson grass (Sorghum halepnse) and wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis). Three levels of sunflower water extract viz. 5%, 10% and 15% were evaluated against both species in two separate experiments by using distilled water as control. Sunflower water extracts considerably delayed and reduced the germination percentage, along with fresh weight and length of both Johnson grass and wild mustard seedlings. Highest reduction was noticed at higher concentration (15%) of sunflower water extract. Nonetheless, sunflower water extract application enhanced malondialdehyde content (lipid peroxidation) along with reduced activities of antioxidants (catalases and peroxidases) in both Johnson grass and wild mustard seedlings. Such effects can be explored further under field conditions

Wild grass is edible, and it grows in the mountains or field areas. Wild grass has diverse biological effects, such as antiobesity, anti-cancer, antioxidant activities and immune stimulation. Currently, many studies are aimed at enhancing the efficacy of medicinal foods on biological activity using a bioconversion technology, including the fermentation process. In this study, the quality characteristics and antioxidative activity of the fermented wild grass was investigated. The antioxidant activity of fermented wild grass was assessed by various radical scavenging assays using DPPH(2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), FRAP(ferric ion reducing antioxidant power), reducing power, and ABTS (2, 2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)). Moisture contents of the fermented wild grass is 49.6±0.06%. Contents of crude ash, crude protein, and crude fat were 0.65±0.01, 0.65±0.04, and 3.3±0.59%, respectively. Moreover, fermented wild grass showed that the hunter's color values were 80.36(lightnees), 11.47(redness), and 44.53(yellowness), respectively. Total phenolic contents of the fermented wild grass was 1, 185±159 ㎍ GAE(gallic acid equivalent)/g. The antioxidative activities of the fermented wild grass were significantly increased in a dose dependent manner. In addition, fermented wild grass did not show any cytotoxicity up to 500 ㎍/㎖. However, the anti-adipogenic effect of the fermented wild grass extract was barely detectable. This antioxidant potential is partly due to the phenolic compounds that are present in the fermented wild grass extracts.

Gene manipulation of Siberian wildrye grass through transgenic technology can modify grass feature for further improvement in the forage production. In order to optimize transformation conditions of Siberian wildrye grass, the effects of transformation efficiency was investigated with GUS gene. Seed-derived calli were infected and co-cultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens carrying the binary vector pCAMBIA3301 encoding the GUS gene in the T-DNA region. The effects of several factors on transformation and the expression of the GUS gene were investigated. The highest transformation efficiency was obtained when embryogenic calli were inoculated with Agrobacterium strain EHA101 in the presence of 200 μM acetosyringone and coculture for 5 days. The present study was framed and materialized to standardize an efficient, high frequency and reproducible genetic transformation protocol for aromatic Siberian wildrye grass using Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

최근들어, 친환경 축산이 중요하게 대두대면서 Silvopastrol system에 대한 관심이 높아져 오고 있다. 초지가 나무와 공존하기 위해선 비음에 강한 목초육종과 혼파조합을 선발하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 준 고랭지 지역에서 차광정도에 따른 목초 혼파조합의 식생변화를 살펴보고 생산량과 품질을 조사하여 비음조건에 가장 적합한 목초의 혼파조합을 선발하기 위해 실시하였다. 차광수준이 높아짐에 따라 모든 혼파조합의 목초수량이 감소하는 결과가 나타

In resent year there has been research on benefits of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for human health. The effect of a fat supplement made from seaweeds meal plus palm olein meal (FS) and replacement of concentrate on milk production, and milk fatty acid (FA) profiles of dairy cows fed grass silage based diets was evaluated. Ten Holstein lactating cows were divided into a two groups. The cows in a group were fed concentrate at 40% on TDN basis (control). The cows in another group (Treatment) were supplemented 0.5㎏/day/cow of FS as a substitute for 2㎏/day/cow of concentrate. The medium chain fatty acids and DHA content of FS were 345 ㎎/g DM and 35 ㎎/g DM, respectively. Total DMI, DM digestibility and milk production as well as milk composition did not differ between the two groups. The intake of ether extract was higher (P＜0.01) in Treatment than control group (1.1 ㎏/day/cow vs. 1.3 ㎏/day/cow). The short and medium chain of FA in the milk did not differ between two groups. The trans11C18:1vaccenic acid, cis9trans11CLA and C18:3 concentrations in the milk were higher (P＜0.01) in Treatment than control group(1.88 g/100gFA vs. 1.03 g/100gFA, 0.93 g/100gFA vs. 0.51 g/100gFA and 0.48 g/100gFA vs. 0.48 g/100gFA). However, the C18:2 concentration in the milk was lower (P＜0.05) in Treatment than Control group (1.38 g/100gFA vs.1.17 g/100gFA). There were detected 0.13 g/100gFA of DHA in the milk in Treatment group. Results indicated that addition of the FS has the potential of increasing CLA and DHA in cow's milk.
