The purpose of this study was to evaluate winter annual forage crops for yield, and horse palatability under horse grazing during the fall and spring in Jeju. The winter annual forage crops such as Italian ryegrass(IRG), rye, and oat were planted in randomized block design in October 30. The horse grazing was initiated on March 17 of the following year. At the first cutting, the dry matter yield of rye was the highest with 4,600 kg/ha compared to the IRG and oat (p<0.05). But there were no significantly different in the yield of winter annual forage crops after the second and third harvests. The total dry matter yield showed rye 12,593 kg/ha, IRG 10,941 kg/ha, and oat 9,424 kg/ha respectively. The horse intake duration of the IRG was significantly higher than the oat and rye (p<0.05). In the first grazing and the second grazing, the intake duration of the IRG was 853.2 seconds and 989.4 seconds, respectively, with oat at 147.6 seconds, and 73.0 seconds, and rye at 89.4 seconds, and 33.18 seconds. The intake duration of IRG was longer than that of oat and rye (p<0.05). The intake rate of the IRG was 60.0% in the first and 82.8% in the second, and the average intake rate was 71.4%. When considering the maintenance of pastures and the palatability of horses, the IRG is the most suitable forage crop in winter annual forage crops in Jeju.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of pasture grazing and barn feeding system on the growth performance, weight gain and velvet antler productivity in Elk. Twelve 5-year-old elk stags about 273 kg were stratified by weight and randomly assigned by feeding system (a pasture grazing and a barn feeding, n=6). The average feed intake were not signigicant difference between two groups. Average daily gain for grazing and barn feeding group was 0.25 g and 0.29 g respectively, showing no significant difference. Velvet antler yield for grazing and barn feeding group was 7,700 g and 6, 960 g respectively, with no significant difference. In conclusion grazing group was better than barn feeding group in feed intake, body weight gain and velvet antler productivity. However, there were no statistical significant difference between the two group. These results may serve as the basis for further study of deer feeding system in Korea and further study needed to examine the grazing intensity and economic efficiency.

This study was conducted to ameliorate the productive performance of Hanwoo cow using hill pasture grazing system. Twenty seven animals aged 9 were designed to divide with 3 groups which were Control (restricted concentrate and hay for 5 months), T1 (restricted concentrate and pasture grazing ad libitum for 5 months) and T2 (restricted concentrate, 30 g/head of mineral nutrients and pasture grazing ad libitum for 5 months). Average daily gains increased higher in the order of T2, Control and T1. The conception rate of Control, T1 and T2 after artificial insemination during post-grazing period were 88.9%, 100%, 100%, respectively. In conclusion, the results indicated that hill pasture grazing system might enhance not only the productive performance of Hanwoo cow but also profit for conventional feeding system.

본 연구는 흑염소 사양체계 확립에 대한 기초자료를 얻고자 방목과 사사형태의 사육이 흑염소의 발육과 육질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 공시축은 흑염소 20두를 방목구와 사사구로 나누어 처리구당 10두씩 공시하여 2012년 5월1일부터 2012년 9월30일까지 153일간 수행하였다. 일당증체량은 방목구와 사사구가 각각 50.6과 52.3 g 으로 차이가 없었고, 도체율에서도 방목구와 사사구간 유의적 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 도체의 지방함량은 사사구가 4.83% 으로 방목구의 3.30% 보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다 (P=0.01). 흑염소 고기의 조지방 함량은 사사구가 2.05%로 방목구의 1.11% 보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다(P=0.01). 등심의 지방산 조성은 oleic acid(C18:1) 함량이 49.27∼50.04%로 가장 높았고 다음으로 palmitic acid(C16:0) 함량이 23.3∼23.5%, stearic acid(C18:0) 함량이 19.3∼19.5% 순으로 나타났으며 지방산 조성에 유의적 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 전단력은 방목구와 사사구가 각각 3.16과 3.04 ㎏/㎠ 로 방목구가 유의하게 높게 나타났으며(p=0.03), 관능검사 결과 중 연도는 사사구가 높은 경향을 보였다(P=0.08). 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면, 흑염소를 방목과 사사형태로 사육하였을 때, 생산성과 도체특성에는 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 육질과 물리적 특성에서 사사형태의 사육이 우수한 것으로 나타나, 고기 생산을 위해서는 사사형태로 사육하는 것이 효율적인 사양관리체계의 확립과 함께 흑염소 생산 농가의 소득 증대에 기여 할 것으로 판단된다.

In southern Kyushu, dwarf variety of late-heading type (DL) napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) has utilized for the rotational grazing in 4 months of hot summer period by Japanese-Black (JB) beef cows for 6 years in 2002-2007. The objectives of this study were to investigate the establishment of feeding system of DL napiergrass with Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam., IR) grazed by the standard herd of JB beef cows in breeding beef farmers. Grazing DL napiergrass pasture was established totally at 0.66 ㏊ with 5 paddocks (0.132 ㏊ each) in 2006. Oversowing of IR was imposed into the inter-row of DL napiergrass on December 8, 2007. Grazing for IR and DL napiergrass pastures was carried out in 30 and 71 days, respectively. Daily gain of beef cows for the grazing on DL napiergrass was averaged at 0.23 ㎏ head?¹ day?¹, and carrying capacity was calculated at 891 CD ㏊?¹. The results revealed that DL napiergrass with IR pasture should fit to the rotational grazing with maintaining the liveweight of grazing beef cows for 4.5 months, and it can be proposed for the sustainable and low-cost feeding system to smallholder farmers in this area.

As a laborsaving technique for weed control in a mountainous area in Japan, an integrated grazing system (IGS) for scattered small pastures has gathered attention recently. The objective was to estimate the loading doses of nitrate-N and ammonium-N in soils and agricultural water as result of this IGS approach compared with other land uses. As a result of time-course profiles of nitrate-N and ammonium-N in surface soils, the effect of applied fertilizers was emphasized more than the effect of manure produced by grazing animals. The nitrate concentrations of under-drainage from pasture were the same or lower than those of agricultural water below a vegetable field during grazing periods. It was considered that the IGS was at least the same or had a lower impact on N levels than that of vegetable fields.

유기조사료 생산을 위한 방목초지의 역할을 구명하기 위해 2000년부터 2002년까지 경기도 수원시 소재 축산기술연구소에서 수행되었다. 유기재배에 따른 목초의 생산성을 구명하기 위해 대조구(표준관리), 친환경구, 유기구를 처리구로 하여 수행되었다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 건물수량은 대조구, 친환경구, 유기구의 순으로 많았으나, 유기구와 대조구의 수량차이가 14% 정도로 작았다. 2. 사료가치와 식생에서는 큰 차이가 없었다. 위 시험의 결과 방목초지

본 시험은 한우 방목시 방목초지의 이용효율을 극대화시키기 위한 방목이용관리 방법을 모색하기 위해 수행되었다. 목구를 증가시켜 체목일수를 2∼3일로 하는 집약방목구와 체목일수가 5∼6일인 대조구(관행구)를 두어 목초생산성 및 가축생산성을 비교하였다. 그 결과 집약방목구의 건물생산량이 7.33t/ha로 대조구의 6.28t/ha에 비해 22% 증수되었다. 또한 방목가축 관리에 매우 중요한 요인인 계절생산성도 안정되어 목초의 수량이 급격히 저하되는 8월 이후에
