This study was carried out to evaluate the forage yield and feed value of winter crops such as Italian ryegrass (IRG), oat, rye, barley, and hairy vetch. Forage crops were sown on 15 th October 2018 in a paddy field after harvesting rice and forage crops were harvested at two times of 25 th April 2019 and 18 th May 2 01 9. T he h ighest d ry m atter (DM) y ield w as h arvested f rom r ye among t he five species of forage crop on 18 th May. DM yield of all forages was increased 14.4% on 18 th May compared to 25 th April. The highest yield of crude protein (CP) was obtained from hairy vetch on 25 th April, whereas it was decreased (38.1%) on 18 th May. Moreover, the highest total digestible nutrient (TDN) yield and relative feed value (RFV) was harvested respectively from rye and hairy vetch on 25 th April. Delay of harvest time considerably increased DM yield but significantly decreased CP and RFV. In conclusion, rye was the best source of DM and TDN and hairy vetch was the high-quality feed. Rye harvested on 25 th April is the proper forage for resolving Korea’s problem of insufficient forage yield.

In order to establish optimal double cropping system for getting the maximum annual productivity, we investigated annual fresh and dry yields of winter forage crops (WFC), Italian ryegrass (IRG) ‘Kowinearly’, triticale ‘Joseong’ and summer forage crop (SFC), ‘Jonong’ and ‘Jowoo’ as whole crop silage rice in the paddy field of Yeongseo of Gangwon Province. The double cropping of each crops was applied with 2 standard cultivation method of WFC and SFC from 2018 to 2020. For the WFC, the average percentage of dry matter (29.6%) of IRG ‘Kowinearly’ was lower than that (35.5%) of triticale ‘Joseong’. The average fresh matter yield of IRG ‘Kowinearly’ was 2,662kg/10a that there was no significant difference from the 2,836kg/10a of triticale ‘Joseong’. The average dry matter yield (996kg/10a) of triticale ‘Joseong’ was more than that (696kg/10a) of IRG ‘Kowinearly’. For the summer forage crops, the average percentage of dry matter of whole crop silage rice, ‘Jonong’ was 34.5% that there was no significant difference from the 35.0% of ‘Jowoo’. The average fresh matter yield (5,367kg/10a) of ‘Jowoo’ was more than that (3,966kg/10a) of ‘Jonong’. And the average dry matter yield (1,936kg/10a) of ‘Jowoo’ was more than that (1,433kg/10a) of ‘Jonong’. The total maximum dry matter yield was 2,982kg/10a with the combination of the WFC triticale, ‘Joseong’ and the SFC whole crop silage rice, ‘Jowoo’. In conclusion, the combination of crops that can obtain the maximum yield of high quality forage for double cropping is sowing the WFC triticale, ‘Joseong’ in mid-October, harvesting ‘Joseong’ around the end of May and then SFC whole crop silage rice, ‘Jowoo’, to be transplanted in early June.

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 establish spring sowing techniques in preparation for the impacts of climate change on sowing time and wintering rates of winter forage crops such as barley, oat and IRG. Oat showed the highest yield in 2017 which had relatively dry climate condition. And when sowing in late Febrnary 2017 yielding 9,408kg/ha were obtained, yielding 4,011kg/ha more than IRG's sown in the same period. In 2018 which had relatively wet climate condition, four barley species decreased in the production from the previous year. Oat also had decreased by 70% from 9,408kg/ha to 2,851kg/ha. On the other hand, IRG maintained the production in the mid-5,000kg/ha range. It was also found that IRG had the least variability due to external influences regardless of seeding period for 2 years. Mixed sowing with IRG and oat in 50:50 ratio was the highest dry matter, 6,584kg/ha, and IRG was 18.5% and Oat was 2.3 times higher than single planting.

We examined the adaptability of Korean winter forage crops such as Italian ryegrass, barley, oat, and triticale in Uzbekistan. The overall growth before wintering was slightly different between Uzbekistani and Korean varieties, but there was no significant difference among winter forage crops. The heading date of the Korean triticale 'Shinyoung' was the earliest, (April 4), and the heading date of the Uzbekistani triticale 'Frack cerebristy' was quite late, (April 25). The heading date of the Korean Italian ryegrass 'Kowinearly' was four days earlier than that of 'Kowinmaster,' on April 13, and that of the Korean barley ‘Youngyang’ and ‘Yuyeon’ were five days earlier than that of the Uzbekistani barley ‘Bolgaly’. The maximum dry matter yield of winter forage crop was from Uzbekistan triticale, 'Frack cerebristy', which was 13,536 kg/ha. The dry matter yield of Uzbekistan barley was 8,222 kg/ha. Compared with Uzbekistan barley, 'Bolgaly', yields of Korean barley 'Youngyang' and 'Yuyeon', Korean oat 'Samhan', and Korean Italian ryegrass 'Kowinearly' and 'Kowinmaster' were 59∼64%, 125%, and 113∼133%, respectively.

This study was carried out to explore the accuracy of near infrared spectroscopy(NIRS) for the prediction of moisture content and chemical parameters on winter annual forage crops. A population of 2454 winter annual forages representing a wide range in chemical parameters was used in this study. Samples of forage were scanned at 1nm intervals over the wavelength range 680-2500nm and the optical data was recorded as log 1/Reflectance(log 1/R), which scanned in intact fresh condition. The spectral data were regressed against a range of chemical parameters using partial least squares(PLS) multivariate analysis in conjunction with spectral math treatments to reduced the effect of extraneous noise. The optimum calibrations were selected based on the highest coefficients of determination in cross validation(R2) and the lowest standard error of cross-validation(SECV). The results of this study showed that NIRS calibration model to predict the moisture contents and chemical parameters had very high degree of accuracy except for barely. The R2 and SECV for integrated winter annual forages calibration were 0.99(SECV 1.59%) for moisture, 0.89(SECV 1.15%) for acid detergent fiber, 0.86(SECV 1.43%) for neutral detergent fiber, 0.93(SECV 0.61%) for crude protein, 0.90(SECV 0.45%) for crude ash, and 0.82(SECV 3.76%) for relative feed value on a dry matter(%), respectively. Results of this experiment showed the possibility of NIRS method to predict the moisture and chemical composition of winter annual forage for routine analysis method to evaluate the feed value.

This study was carried out to investigate the growth characteristics, yield, and chemical compositions of winter forage crops cultivated after rice harvest in the central inland region. The experimental design was arranged in a randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of 4 species (Rye, Oat, Triticale and Italian ryegrass), and varieties were “Marton”, “Donghan”, “Shinyoung” and “Kowinnearly”, respectively. As a result, dry matter yield and TDN yield were higher in rye than in the other winter forage crops, and lowest in Oat(p<0.05). Crude protein and crude fat content were significantly higher in Italian ryegrass(p<0.05). However, Crude ash and ADF content did not show significant difference among winter forage crops. NDF content was higher in order of Rye > Triticale > Oat > Italian ryegrass(p<0.05). TDN and total amino acid content (EAA+NEAA) were higher in order of winter forage crop with high crude protein content (Italian ryegrass > Oat > Triticale > Rye). Total mineral content was higher in order of Rye > Triticale > Oat > Italian ryegrass(p<0.05), and total free sugar content was higher in order of Oat > Italian Ryegrass > Triticale > Rye(p<0.05). Compared with the results above, Italian ryegrass and Oat are high in crude protein, TDN, amino acid and free sugar content. Rye and Triticale have the merit that feed value is decreased but high yield(dry matter and TDN yield) can be maintained. Therefore, it is advantageous to grow Rye and Triticale as winter forage crops after rice harvest in the central inland region.

The objective of this study was to optimize analytical methods for ochratoxin A (OTA) and zearalenone (ZEA) in rice straw silage and winter forage crops using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Samples free of mycotoxins were spiked with 50 μg/kg, 250 μg/kg, or 500 μg/kg of OTA and 300 μg/kg, 1500 μg/kg, or 3000 μg/kg of ZEA. OTA and ZEA were extracted by acetonitrile and cleaned-up using an immunoaffinity column. They were then subjected to analysis with UHPLC equipped with a fluorescence detector. The correlation coefficients of calibration curves showed high linearity (R2 ≧ 0.9999 for OTA and R2≧0.9995 for ZEA). The limit of detection and quantification were 0.1 μg/kg and 0.3 μg/kg, respectively, for OTA and 5 μg/kg and 16.7 μg/kg, respectively, for ZEA. The recovery and relative standard deviation (RSD) of OTA were as follows: rice straw = 84.23~95.33%, 2.59~4.77%; Italian ryegrass = 79.02~95%, 0.86~5.83%; barley = 74.93~97%, 0.85~9.19%; rye = 77.99~ 96.67%, 0.33~6.26%. The recovery and RSD of ZEA were: rice straw = 109.6~114.22%, 0.67~7.15%; Italian ryegrass = 98.01~109.44%, 1.65~4.81%; barley = 98~113.53%, 0.25~5.85%; rye = 90.44~108.56%, 2.5~4.66%. They both satisfied the standards of European Commission criteria (EC 401-2006) for quantitative analysis. These results showed that the optimized methods could be used for mycotoxin analysis of forages.

This study was conducted from October 2014 to May 2015 to explore forage production and feed values of Italian ryegrass, Rye and whole crop barley as winter forage crops in the Southern region of Korea. The experimental location was over 10 points for each species and each sampling point area was 1 m² (Width: 1 m × Length: 1 m). Air mean temperature and rainfall in the Southern region of Korea during the experimental period was 6.95 ± 5.75℃ and 70.45 ± 54.68 mm, respectively. Fresh forage yield of Italian ryegrass, the most cultivated forage in the Southern region of Korea, was 44.4 ± 7.0 ton/ha. The percentage of dry matter for whole crop barley was 28.9 ± 7.0%. Crude protein (CP) was higher in Italian ryegrass (10.7 ± 5.3%) while total digestible nutrient (TDN) had the highest value in whole crop barley. Crude protein was not significantly different by location. However, the neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and total digestible nutrient value of forage from Jeonbuk province were higher than in forage from Gyeongnam province.

이 연구는 남부지역 논에서 동계 사료맥류, 하계 조생종 벼, 추계 하파귀리 등 삼모작 재배기술을 확립하기 위해실시하였다. 월동 사료작물을 조생종 벼인 조평벼의 이앙시기에 맞춰 4월 30일 1차 수확한 처리구와 사료맥류의 수확기인 5월 30일에 수확한 처리구 모두 곡우호밀이 각각 생초수량 32.0톤/ha과 42.3톤/ha, 건물수량이 5.8톤/ha과 16.5톤/ha로 다른 작물에 비해 높은 수량을 보였다. 하계 조평벼는 5월 6일에 1차 이앙한 처리구보다 6월 4일에 2차 이앙한 처리구에서 등숙비율이 떨어지고 수량도 약 22% 감소하여 조기 이앙이 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 틈새작물로 재배한 하이스피드 귀리는 8월 28일에 1차 파종한 귀리는 10월 10일에 출수하였지만 9월 2일에 입모중으로 2차 파종한 귀리는 출수도 하지 못하였으며 1차 파종에 비해 건물수량과 TDN 수량 모두 50%를 못 미치는 결과를 나타내어 파종이 빠를수록 유리한 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 남부지역에서 삼모작을 하기 위해서는 호밀을 재배하여 4월 30일 전에 수확한 후 조평벼의 조기 이앙과 하이스피드 귀리의 적기 파종이 쌀 수량과 조사료 수량 확보에 유리한 것으로 사료되었다.

이 연구는 남부지역에서 동계 사료맥류, 하계 옥수수, 추계 하파귀리 등 삼모작 재배기술 확립하기 위해 옥수수의 앞그루에 적합한 사료용 맥류 맥종 선정과 더불어 옥수수 뒷그루로 귀리를 가을재배 시 생산성 및 사료가치를 검토하고자 실시하였다. 월동 사료작물을 옥수수 파종기에 맞춰 수확할 경우 호밀이 생초수량 32.0톤/ha, 건물수량 5.8톤/ha로 다른 작물에 비해 높은 수량을 보였다. 하계 사료용 옥수수는 생초수량으로 72.1톤/ha, 건물수량으로 20.2톤/ha 수확되었으며, 사료가치는 조단백질 함량이 7.4%, 가소화영양소 함량이 69.3%로 양호한 생육과 사료가치를 보였다. 가을재배용 귀리의 출수기는 10월 10일이었으며, 생초수량은 44.3톤/ha, 건물수량은 8.5톤/ha이었고, 사료가치는 조단백질이 11.3%, 가소화영양소 함량이 59.1%를 나타내었다. 따라서 남부지역에서 조사료 연중 생산을 위해 가을재배용 귀리의 도입으로 삼모작이 가능하며, 하계 옥수수의 최대 안전 생산을 위한 월동 사료작물은 호밀이 가장 유리한 것으로 사료되었다.

본 연구에서는 농가에서 동계 사료작물을 2012년 5월 중 순부터 하순까지 지역별로 조사료 생산성을 조사하여 조사 료의 생산성의 지표나 기초적인 통계자료로 활용하기 위해 수행되었다. 본 연구는 도별로 2개소씩 안배하여 총 16개 시 군 66개 농가를 무작위로 선정하여 IRG는 11개 시 군 22농가, 총체보리는 8개 시 군 21농가, 호밀은 5개 시 군 11농가, IRG +총체보리 혼파는 6개 시 군 12농가에서 실 측조사를 실시하였다. 조사료의 건물수량은 전체평균 9,418 kg/ha 이였으며, 호밀, IRG의 수량 보다 총체보리 또는 IRG +총체보리 혼파에서 높은 수량을 보였다. 조사지역중 공주(IRG +총체보리 혼파)에서 가장 높은 수량(15,128 kg/ha)을 보였으며 당진(간척지에서 IRG)에서는 가장 낮은 수량(3,885 kg/ha)을 나타냈다. 지역별 조사료 생산성은 일 정한 경향이 없이 다양한 분포를 나타내어 지역보다는 농 가의 재배수준에 따른 생산성 변화가 더 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

이 연구는 동계 사료맥류를 활용하여 건초대용 양질 헤일리지의 생산 가능성을 검토하기위하여 맥종별 수확시기, 적정 건조시간 및 헤일리지 품질을 분석하였다. 그 결과 수확시기가 늦어질수록 건물수량과 TDN 수량은 높아지는 경향이었고, 단백질과 NDF, ADF 함량은 낮아지는 경향을 보였다(p<0.05). 헤일리지 조제를 위한 건조시간은 청보리, 귀리, 트리티케일,총체밀 모두 유숙기에는 수분함량이 높음과 동시에 기상온도도 높지 않으므로 32시간 이상예건이 필요하고, 황숙기에는 8~24시간 정도예건이 필요하며, 완숙기에는 예건이 필요 없었다. 호밀은 출수 후 10일에는 32시간 이상,출수 후 20일, 30일에서는 24시간 이상 예건이필요하였다. 헤일리지 발효품질에서 pH는 모든맥종에서 모두 수확시기가 늦어질수록 높아지는 경향을 보였고, 젖산함량은 유숙기에 가장높은 값을 보였고, 수확시기가 늦어질수록 감소하였다(p<0.05). 초산도 수확시기가 늦어짐에따라 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 낙산은 검출되지 않았다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합하여 볼 때,사료맥류로 헤일리지 조제 시 단백질함량이나발효품질 면에서는 수확이 빠를수록 유리하지만 우리나라 기상조건으로 볼 때 예건의 어려움이 있으므로, 호밀은 청예나 사일리지로 이용을 하고 청보리와 귀리, 트리티케일, 총체밀은 황숙기에 수확하여 8~24시간 정도 예건하면헤일리지로 이용 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 중부지역에서는 동계 맥류와 하계 사료용 옥수수를 이용한 작부체계가 이루어졌으나, 남부지역에서는 청보리위주의 조사료 생산이 이루어지고 있으며 그 후작으로 옥수수를 이용한 동/하계 연계 조사료 생산 작부체계에 대한 확립이필요하고 조사료 생산시 동/하계 연계 조사료 생산에 대한 농가 기술지도를 위한 연구기술적 근거를 마련하고자 2010년부터 2011년까지 농가에서 수행하였다. 1. 맥종별 조사료 생산 및 소득은 호밀(곡우) 재배시 생초수량은 30.4톤/ha 이고, 소득은 1,841천원/ha으로 쌀보리 대비141%의 소득이 증대되었고, 청보리(영양) 재배시 생초수량은36.0톤/ha이었고, 소득은 3,151천원/ha으로 쌀보리 대비 242%의 소득이 증대 되었다. 밀(금강) 재배시 생초수량은 40.5톤/ha으로 3가지 맥종중 가장 많았고, 소득은 3,740천원/ha으로쌀보리 대비 287%가 증대 되었다. 2. 맥종별 후작으로 사료용 옥수수(광평옥) 재배시 생초수량은호밀 후작시 56.7톤/ha으로 가장 많았고, 소득은 4,731천원/ha으로 쌀 단작 대비 88%의 소득을 올렸다. 청보리 후작 재배시에는 생초수량이 51.4톤/ha이었고, 소득은 3,828천원으로 쌀단작대비 71%의 소득이었다. 밀 후작 재배시 생초수량은 31.0톤/ha이었고, 소득은 372천원으로 쌀 단작대비 7%의 소득으로 가장 적었다. 3. 동계맥류 +하계 사료용 옥수수재배시 맥종에 따른 조사료 수량 및 소득을 보면 호밀+사료용옥수수 재배시 생초수량은 87.1톤/ha이었고, 소득은 6,572천원으로 쌀보리+벼 소득과같은 소득을 올렸고, 청보리 +사료용 옥수수 재배시 생초수량은 87.4톤/ha이었고, 소득은 6,979천원/ha 으로 쌀보리+벼 소득 대비 105%의 소득으로 가장 높았다. 밀 +사료용옥수수 재배시에는 생초수량은 71.6톤/ha이었고, 소득은 4,112천원으로 쌀보리+벼 소득대비 62%의 소득으로 가장 적었다.

새만금 간척지에서 동계 사료작물의 재배 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 2009년 가을부터 2011년 봄까지 염분농도가 다양한 토양조건에서 청보리, 호밀, 밀, 트리티케일, 귀리 등을 공시하여 생육특성,생초 및 건물수량 등을 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 출현율과 입모율은 토양에 염분이 거의 없는 시험구에서 84%와 79%인 반면, 토양 염농도 0.2% 시험구에서는 73%와 64%, 토양 염농도 0.3% 시험구에서는 52%와 40%, 토양 염농도 0.4% 시험구에서는 37%와 22%이었다. 2. 사료작물별 출현율과 입모율은 호밀, 밀, 트리티케일 및 청보리는 비슷하였으며, 귀리는 상대적으로 낮았다. 3. 초장은 토양 염농도가 높을수록 현저히 단축되었으며, 토양 염농도 0.3% 이상 시험구에서는 단축정도가 매우 컸다. 4. 생초 및 건물수량은 토양에 염농도가 거의 없는 시험구 대비 토양 염농도 0.2% 시험구에서 66~77% 수준이었으나, 토양염농도 0.3% 이상 시험구에서는 30~61% 수준이었다. 5. 사료작물별 생초수량은 호밀 >밀 >청보리 >트리티케일 >귀리 순으로 많았으며, 건물수량은 밀> 호밀=청보리> 트리티케일> 귀리 순으로 많았다. 6. 따라서 새만금 간척지에서 동계 사료작물의 재배가 가능한 토양 염농도는 공시작물의 생육특성, 생초 및 건물수량 등을 종합해 볼 때 0.2% 이하이고, 염류토양에 대한 적응력이 높은사료작물은 호밀, 밀, 청보리, 트리티케일 이었다.
