The purpose of this study was to investigate the egg freshness and eggshell characteristics of old laying hens by adding sea urchin shell powder to the feed of such hens to achieve the objectives continuously pursued by environmental management, such as business profitability and waste resource utilization. A total of 90 Hy-Line Brown layers (66 weeks of age) were randomly divided into 2 treatments with 3 replicates, each of which consisted of 15 older layers, for 4 weeks. These treatments included a control (i.e., 0%) and 2% sea urchin shell powder. The 2% supplementation of sea urchin shell powder increased the Haugh unit (HU) at 2 and 4 weeks and eggshell strength at 4 wks compared to the controls (p<0.05). The HU at 0 weeks, eggshell thickness from 0 through 3 weeks, and eggshell strength at 0 and 2 weeks were not different between treatments (p>0.05). These results suggest that the addition of 2% sea urchin powder to the feed of laying hens improves egg freshness and eggshell strength in old laying hens.

The present study was investigated the oviposition characteristics of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis with a focus on winter larvae to improve the utilization of insect resources. The average oviposition tendency and average cumulative number of eggs laid during a 7-week period were measured in adults emerging from larvae that had hibernated for 4 months in five farmhouses. The study covered five zones: Gimje, Jangsu, Wanju, Iksan and Yeoju. The average oviposition tendency over a 7-week period showed increased egg laying between 2 to 3 weeks and 5 to 6 weeks. Overall, it was found that the average cumulative number of eggs laid during the 7-week period was initially low and increased proportionally with time. Our results suggest that using adults that have emerged from hibernated larvae is effective in increasing the oviposition rate and utilization of the insect.

We investigated the oviposition characteristics of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis, focusing on zone breeding throughout the year in terms of the development and utilization of insect resources. To select Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis individuals laying a large number of eggs, the number of eggs laid for each individual was measured for each individual after emergence as adults from larvae grown at room temperature in five farmhouses. The five study zone included Gongju (Tancheon), Gyeonggi (Himsen), Chungnam (Gyeryong), Taean (Wonbuk), and Siheung (Baekse). The average oviposition tendency during a 12-week period obtained from the five regions was somewhat different; however, there was no remarkable difference in overall tendency. The maximum oviposition in Protaetia brevitarsisseulensis in the five regions occurred between 6 and 7 weeks. Compared toother regions, the average cumulative number of eggs laid during the 12-week period was higher (40%–60%) in Gongju (Tancheon) and Gyeonggi (Himsen). These results indicate that in two regions, zone breeding is selected as a system for increasing the demand for insects.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary microbial-fermented molasses on egg production and egg quality in laying hens.In total, 90 Hy-line Brown laying hens were divided into two treatment groups (control and 1% microbial-fermented molasses)with three replicates of 15 birds each. During the experimental period, supplementation of hen diets with 1% microbial-fermented molassesdid not influence egg weight, hen-day egg production, egg mass, and feed conversion ratio (p > 0.05), except for feed intake. Regarding egg quality, diets containing 1% microbial-fermented molasses significantly affected eggshell thickness, Haugh unit, and albumen height (p < 0.05). However, there were no remarkable differences between control and 1% microbial-fermented molasses in eggshell color and egg yolk color (p > 0.05). These results indicate that supplementing 1% microbial-fermented molasses to the diet of laying hens improved egg quality parameters such as eggshell thickness, Haugh unit, and albumen height rather than egg production.

본 연구에서는 각질층의 산란에 대한 새로운 분석 방법을 제공하고 광학에 사용되는 광산란 감소 물질들 의 피부 각질층에서의 영향을 확인하였다. 각질층과 피부 구성 성분에 의해 산란되어지는 빛의 변화를 측정하기 위해 각질 테이프로 분리한 각질세포의 다크 필드 이미지 분석을 통해 다양한 광산란 감소 물질들의 각질층에서의 광산란 효과를 측정하고 분석하였다. 광산란 감소 물질의 처리 후 각질층의 물리적 특성(수분 함량, 케라틴 구조 및 두께) 변화는 FT-IR, 3D 레이저 현미경으로 관찰하였는데 화장품에서 보습제로 사용되는 단당류, 당 알코올, 환원당, 히알루론산 등은 광산란을 감소시킬 수 있었다. 그러나 광학에서의 탈수 현상과 달리 낮은 농도 조건의 광산란 감소 물질은 각질층 케라틴 구조의 내부로 물의 침투를 향상시켜 각질층의 부피를 증가시키고 강성을 감소시키는 효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 광산란 감소 물질에 의한 각질층 각질세포의 수화 현상은 각질층의 광산란을 감소시켜 피부를 보다 투명하게 보이게 해 줄뿐만 아니라 지속적인 보습효과를 제공할 수 있는 각질층 타겟의 새로운 피부 개선 연구의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of various types of fermented red ginseng marc with red koji to laying hens on eggshell and egg yolk quality characteristics. A total of 240 Hy-line Brown laying hens (40 wk of age) were randomly allotted to 24 pens (6 replicates per treatment and 10 laying hens per replicate). Experimental diets consisted of 4 treatments containing basal diet (control), 1% fermented red ginseng marc powder with red koji, 1% fermented red ginseng marc pelleted with red koji and 1% fermented red ginseng marc coated with red koji. During the 8-wk feeding trial, there were no significant differences in eggshell strength, eggshell thickness and eggshell color among the treatments, except for eggshell strength at 4 and 8 wk and eggshell thickness at 0 wk. In addition, no differences in egg yolk color and egg yolk index were found for all treatments throughout the 8-wk feeding period, except for egg yolk color at 0 wk. Thus, using various types of fermented red ginseng marc with red koji to laying hens did not improve eggshell and egg yolk quality characteristics.

This study was conducted at rearing room to investigate the feeding behavior of fruits in the firefly (Pylocoelia rufa) larvae and the ovipositional characteristics of the adults. As a result, the pear, apple, melon, persimmon, mandarin, grape and peach were shown the feeding behavior of larvae the average 6.40, 3.25, 2.50, 2.20, 2.00, 1.40 and 1.25, respectively. However, the larvae were not shown at all feeding behavior to banana. The hours feeding behavior of firefly larvae was primarily from 8:00 pm until 2:00 am. In addition, the time at which the voracious feeding behavior was until 8:00 pm to 12:00 pm. The 6:00 pm began whisking all the larvae are hiding in the shelter. In the case of the firefly larvae fed only the edible snail, the adults were oviposition an average 49 ± 6 eggs. At that time larva stage, adults of the firefly eating the pears, apples, melon and eat edible snail at the same time there were oviposition the 53 ± 7 on average. In the case of fruits, the pears, apples, and melons has been considered worthy to take the firefly larva fed with the current land snails.

본 연구는 선형가속기를 이용한 방사선 조사에서 선속평탄 여과판 사용 유무에 따른 산란선을 측정하고 자 한다. 산란선 측정은 전리함을 사용하였으며, 조사한 방사선의 에너지는 6 MV와 10 MV 이다. 갠트리 회전 중심에서 전리함을 15, 25, 35, 45 cm 거리에 위치시키고 선속평탄 여과판 사용 유무와 거리에 따른 산란선을 측정하였다. 각각의 에너지에 대하여 100 cGy 조사한 결과 6 MV에서 선속평탄 여과판을 사용하 지 않은 것에서 65% 정도로 낮게 발생되었고, 10 MV 에서는 55% 정도로 낮게 발생되었다. 즉, 방사선 치 료에서 결정 장기 주변의 선량은 선속평탄 여과판을 사용하지 않을 때 산란선이 적게 발생되어 방사선에 대한 확률적인 영향을 줄이기 위한 유용한 방법으로 판단되어진다.

미역, 다시마, 톳 등 갈조류 3종이 산란계의 계란 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 기존의 양계사료(대조구)에 미역(A처리구), 다시마(B처리구), 톳(C처리구)을 각각 10% 첨가하여 8주간 사육한 후 생산된 계란의 표면색깔, fucoxanthin, 무기질, 지방산 조성을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 갈조류 첨가에 의해 난황의 표면색깔은 적갈색으로 변화하는 경향이었고, 미역을 첨가한 A처리구가 가장 크게 일어났다. Fucoxanthin 함량은 원료 갈조류에서 21.3∼34.8 mg%로 검출되었으나, 난황으로 이행되었다고 확인할 수는 없었다. 무기질 함량으로 Ca은 300.2 mg%에서 328.2∼391.2 mg%로, Fe는 4.5 mg%에서 4.9∼6.3 mg%로, Na은 2.5 mg%에서 88.2∼99.7 mg%로, K는 350.8 mg%에서 402.2∼450.5 mg%로 증가하는 경향이었으나, P는 199.4 mg%에서 110.5∼149.5 mg%로 감소하는 경향으로 나타났다. 총 무기질 함량은 톳이 첨가된 C처리구에서 1,155.1 mg%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 지방산 조성으로 포화지방산은 38.3%에서 30.4∼32.1%로 감소하고 불포화지방산은 61.5%에서 68.1∼69.6%로 증가하였는데, 다가 불포화지방산에서 현저하게 증가하는 경향이었다.

이 논문은 피하산란의 정도가 다를 것으로 예상되는 얼굴의 6개의 부위를 촬영하여 각각의 산란특성을 추출하고 렌더링에 반영하여 얼굴의 사실감 있는 표현이 가능한 방법을 제안한다. 각 부위별 산란이미지는 프로젝터로부터 피부에 입사된 단위광선이 내부 산란을 거쳐 밖으로 드러나는 모양을 여러 노출로 촬영하여 HDR 이미지로 합성하고, 비선형 최소제곱합의 해법 중 Sequential Quadratic Programming을 이용하여 광선의 입사지점을 지나는 단면이 이루는 곡선에 '가우스 함수의 선형결합'을 적합한다. 가우스 함수는 산란곡선을 잘 근사하면서 필터로서 적용이 쉬운 장점을 가진다. 우리는 최소제곱합의 해가 지역 해에 빠지는 않도록 유전알고리듬을 이용해 초기 값을 설정한다. 근사된 식의 각 가우스 항은 얼굴에 입사되는 복사조도를 렌더링한 텍스처에 가우스 필터로 적용되어 피하산란효과를 표현. 이 논문에서는 최대 12회의 가우스 필터링을 효율적으로 처리하기 위해 쿠다의 병렬처리능력를 활용하였다.
