A total of 222 udder-half milk samples of lactating goats were collected from two herds in Korea during 2008 and all samples were subjected to bacteriological examination. Somatic cell counts (SCC) were also determined for all samples except for 13 (5.9%), which were collected from halves of udders with clinical mastitis. A total of 85 bacteria were isolated from 82 (36.9%) of 222 milk samples tested. Staphylococci were the predominant pathogens, accounting for almost 70% of the isolates: Coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) and S. aureus constituted 55% (47/85) and 14.1% (12/85), respectively. Among 209 samples tested for SCC, bacteria were isolated from 36 of 115 (31.3%) samples with SCC of <1×106 cells/㎖ and 38 of 94 (40.4%) samples that had SCC of ≥1×106 cells/㎖, respectively. All S. aureus were detected from samples with SCC of ≥1×106 cells/㎖, while 25 of 47 (61.0%) CNS were isolated from milk samples with SCC of <1×106 cells/㎖. Mean SCC of milk samples that harbored S. aureus and CNS was 4,787×103 cells/㎖ and >1×106 cells/㎖, respectively. All S. aureus and CNS isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobials tested except for penicillin, to which 2 (16.6%) S. aureus and 12 (25.5%) CNS isolates showed resistance.

한국산 박쥐나물속(Parasenecio)의 외부형태학적 형질 및 체세포 염색재수의 분류학적 가치를 평가하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 외부형태학적 형질인 초장, 경생엽수, 잎의 모양, 엽병 형태, 총포편수, 소화 수, 암술대의 털 존재 유무, 소화의 가는 통부와 법은 통부의 비, 열매의 크기 등이 종을 식별하는 형질로 가치를 지니고 있었으며, 이러한 형질을 기초로 할 때, 귀박쥐나물(Parasenecio. auriculata var. auriculata), 나래 박쥐나물(P. auriculata var. kamtschatica), 민박쥐나물(P. hastata subsp. orientalis), 참나래박쥐(P. koraiensis), 병풍쌈(P. firmus), 어리병풍(P. pseudotaimingasa)의 6분류 군에 대한 국내의 분포를 확인할 수 있었으나, 게박쥐나물(P. adenastylodes)과 박쥐나물(P. auriculata var. matsumurana)의 분류학적 위치 및 국내 분포 여부에 대하여 추후 연구되어야 할 것으로 생각되었다. 게박쥐나물과 귀박쥐나물, 나래박쥐나물, 민박쥐나물, 병풍함과 어리평풍의 체세포 염색제수는 모두 2n=60이었으며, 이중 게박쥐나물과 귀박쥐나물, 나래박쥐나물, 민박쥐나물은 일본산과 중국산의 염색계수와 일치하였으며, 병풍쌈과 어리병풍의 체세포 염색체수는 본 연구에서 처음으로 밝혀졌다.

In recent years, many researches are actively undertaken for environmental-friendly animal production according to the increased understanding about food safety because of the outbreak of various diseases such as mad cow disease, Foot and mouth disease and Poultry Influenza virus. However, high quality(higher safety)-animal production may not be successful without increasing of disease resistance of animal and the improvement of feeding environment. To increase the disease resistance is able to be accomplished by stimulating the immune function. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of enzyme mixture reinforced with β-glucanase activity which degrade polysaccharide to release β-glucan known as stimulator of immune function on the change of milk production and somatic cell count. After 12weeks of experimental feeding, milk production tended to be increased and somatic cell count was decreased from average 227×10⁴ to 37.1×10⁴. Milk protein and solid-fat content were tended to increase but milk fat showed decreasing tendency by the feeding of enzyme mixture. All together, it has been suggested that the improvement of high quality milk production may be possible through the dietary addition of immune modulating enzyme mixture in lactating dairy cows.

The somatic hybrids between Solanum brevidens and S. tuberosum (cv. ‘Superior’ and ‘Dejima’) can be selected through the number of chloroplasts in the guard cells, SSR (simple sequence repeats) and AFLP. In order to facilitate the identification of hybrid

국내에 분포하는 개미취속 및 근연 분류군 17종류에 대하여 다양한 분류형질중 체세포염색체수를 조사하여 분류군에 대한 정확한 학명과 분류학적 위치를 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 취급된 분류군들의 체세포 염색체수는 동일 분류군내에서 개체간의 변이없이 일정하였고 분류군간에는 다양하게 나타났으며, 기본수에 의하여 x=9와 x=8의 2가지 유형으로 구분되었고 x=9인 유형은 배수성에 의하여 세분되었다. 본 연구에서 단양쑥부쟁이와 제주쑥부쟁이, 눈갯쑥부쟁이의 체세포 염색체수가 처음으로 밝혀졌으며, 국내에서 버드쟁이나물로 동정되어 왔던 개체들은 체세포 염색체수와 잎 형태를 조사한 결과, 가새쑥부쟁이의 변이체로 보는 것이 타당하고 사료된다.
