This study was conducted to investigate the effect of biological membrane transfer modifier, lysophospholipd (LPLs) on the parameters from in vitro rumen simulated fermentation. Commercially available LPLs product (Lipidol$^{TM}$) was supplemented into experimental diets which consisted of orchard grass and concentrate diet (60:40) in different levels (0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5%). Then in vitro rumen simulated fermentation was performed. Although, a declining trend of pH was found in treatments, all pH values were detected in a range relevant to normal rumen fermentation. Gas production, ammonia nitrogen and total VFA production were greatly influenced by the supplementation of LPLs. All parameters were increased along with increased levels of LPLs in diet. As a result, 0.1% of Lipidol$^{TM}$ is recommended based on the determined in vitro rumen fermentative parameters in this study.

The present study investigated the effect of enzyme inclusion on silage quality using meta-analysis tool. A total of 16 research papers reporting the effect of enzyme application on silage quality were employed in the meta-analysis of this study. Mixed model for integrating quantitative results from multiple studies was used first to calculate the predicted error of each study. Individual error from the estimated model was the applied into standard deviation of each study to calculate the mean difference. Finally, summary effect was determined using standard mean difference (SMD) and inversed variance weighting. Mixed model analysis and SMD analysis showed the same effect patterns in all analysis items. Enzyme inclusion in silage significantly (p < 0.05) altered all silage quality characteristics investigated compared to control when enzyme was not included. Our results showed that enzyme treatment increased dry matter content, preserved crude protein effectively, and elevated water soluble carbohydrate content. However, the pH value, acetic acid, propionic acid, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber contents in silage with enzyme inclusion were lower than those of the control.

The present study investigated the optimum blending condition of protected fat, choline and yeast culture for lowering of rumen temperature. The Box Benken experimental design, a fractional factorial arrangement, and response surface methodology were employed. The optimum blending condition was determined using the rumen simulated in vitro fermentation. An additive formulated on the optimum condition contained 50% of protected fat, 25% of yeast culture, 5% of choline, 7% of organic zinc, 6.5% of cinnamon, and 6.5% of stevioside. The feed additive was supplemented at a rate of 0.1% of diet (orchard grass:concentrate, 3:7) and compared with a control which had no additive. The treatment resulted in lower volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration and biogas than the control. To investigate the effect of the optimized additive and feed energy levels on rumen and rectal temperatures, four rumen cannulated Hanwoo (Korean native beef breed) steers were in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design. Energy levels were varied to low and high by altering the ratio of forage to concentrate in diet: low energy (6:4) and high energy (4:6). The additive was added at a rate of 0.1% of the diet. The following parameters were measured; feed intake, rumen and rectal temperatures, ruminal pH and VFA concentration. This study was conducted in an environmentally controlled house with temperature set at $30^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity levels of 70%. Steers were housed individually in raised crates to facilitate collection of urine and feces. The adaptation period was for 14 days, 2 days for sampling and 7 days for resting the animals. The additive significantly reduced both rumen (p<0.01) and rectal temperatures (p<0.001) without depressed feed intake. There were interactions (p<0.01) between energy level and additive on ruminal temperature. Neither additive nor energy level had an effect on total VFA concentration. The additive however, significantly increased (p<0.01) propionate and subsequently had lower acetate:propionate (A/P) ratios than non-additive supplementation. High concentrate diets had significantly lower pH. Interactions between energy and additive were observed (p<0.01) in ammonia nitrogen production. Supplementation of diets with the additive resulted in lower rumen and rectal temperatures, hence the additive showed promise in alleviating undesirable effects of heat stress in cattle.

Cho, Sangbuem,Kim, Jeong-Mee,Yu, Mi-Sang,Yeon, Su-Jung,Lee, Chi-Ho,Kim, Soo-Ki The Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistr 2015 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.58 No.4

Capsaicin, an active component of hot pepper, has considerable health benefits; however, the pungency of hot pepper has limited its usage. This study aimed to reduce the pungency of hot pepper by fermentation to enhance its application in the food industry. Hot pepper juice was fermented by Bacillus licheniformis SK1230, which was previously isolated as a capsaicin-degrading bacterium. B. licheniformis SK1230 was inoculated into the juice of red or green pepper, and the mixture was then fermented for 19 days to determine the degradation level of capsaicinoids. It was observed that with a gradual increase in pH, the growth of B. licheniformis SK1230 increased to $1.0{\times}10^9CFU/mL$ after day 1, and its viability persisted until the end of fermentation. The sugar content of green pepper drastically reduced at day 1 and that of red pepper reduced at day 5. The total polyphenol content of the medium containing red pepper was about 2-fold higher than that of the medium containing green pepper. The antioxidant activity of the medium containing red pepper was also higher than that of the medium containing green pepper; however, the activity gradually decreased during the course of the fermentation period. The capsaicinoid content of both types of peppers radically decreased at day 5. Thus, we suggest that a fermentation period of 5 days would be optimal for the degradation of capsaicin with minimal loss of antioxidant activity and would provide higher polyphenol content.

Cho, Sangbuem,Ryu, Chaehwa,Yang, Jinho,Mbiriri, David Tinotenda,Choi, Chang-Weon,Chae, Jung-Il,Kim, Young-Hoon,Shim, Kwan-Seob,Kim, Young Jun,Choi, Nag-Jin Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2013 Animal Bioscience Vol.26 No.7

The effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) feeding on growth performance and fatty acid profiles in thigh meat of broiler chicken was investigated using meta-analysis with a total of 9 studies. Overall effects were calculated by standardized mean differences between treatment (CLA fed) and control using Hedges's adjusted g from fixed and random effect models. Meta-regression was conducted to evaluate the effect of CLA levels. Subgroups in the same study were designated according to used levels of CLA, CP levels or substituted oils in diets. The effects on final body weight, weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio were investigated as growth parameters. Total saturated and unsaturated fatty acid concentrations and C16:0, C18:0, C18:2 and C18:3 concentrations in thigh meat of broiler chicken were used as fatty acid profile parameters. The overall effect of CLA feeding on final weight was negative and it was only significant in fixed effect model (p<0.01). Significantly lower weight gain, feed intake and higher feed conversion ratio compared to control were found (p<0.05). CLA feeding on the overall increased total saturated fatty acid concentration in broilers compared to the control diet (p<0.01). Total unsaturated fatty acid concentration was significantly decreased by CLA feeding (p<0.01). As for individual fatty acid profiles, C16:0, C18:0 and C18:3 were increased and C18:2 was significantly decreased by CLA feeding (p<0.01). In conclusion, CLA was proved not to be beneficial for improving growth performance, whereas it might be supposed that CLA is effective modulating n-6/n-3 fatty acids ratio in thigh meat. However, the economical compensation of the loss from suppressed growth performance and increased saturated fatty acids with the benefit from enhanced n-6/n-3 ratio should be investigated in further studies in order to propose an appropriate use of dietary CLA in the broiler industry.

Encapsulation is a method used to protect material from certain undesirable environments, for controlled release at a more favorable time and place. Animal productivity would be enhanced if feed additives are delivered to be utilized at their site of action, bypassing the rumen where they are likely to be degraded by microbial action. A novel method of encapsulation with sesame gum was used to coat nitrate, a known enteric methane mitigating agent, and tested for the effect on methane reduction and other in vitro fermentation parameters using rumen fluid from cannulated Hanwoo steers. Orchard grass was used as basal diet for fermentation. The treatments were matrix (1.1 g sesame gum+0.4 g sesame oil cake) only, encapsulated nitrate (matrix+nitrate [21 mM]), free nitrate (21 mM), and a control that contained no additive. Analyses of fermentation parameters were done at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 48 h time periods. In comparison to control, both free and encapsulated nitrate produced significantly reduced (p<0.01) methane (76% less) and also the total volatile fatty acids were reduced. A significantly higher (p<0.01) concentration of ammonia nitrogen was obtained with the encapsulated nitrate treatment (44%) compared to the free form (28%) and matrix only (20%) (p = 0.014). This might suggest slow release of encapsulated nitrate so that it is fully reduced to ammonia. Thus, this pioneering study found a significant reduction in methane production following the use of sesame gum encapsulated nitrate that shows the potential of a controlled release system in enhancing sustainability of ruminant production while reducing/eliminating the risk of nitrite toxicity.

본 연구는 사일리지 발효 특성에 있어 미생물제제와 유기산제제의 처리효과를 분석하고 비교하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 사일리지 pH, 젖산, 초산, L/A비율, 프로피온산, 낙산, WSC, CP, $NH_3-N$, NDF 및 ADF 등을 발효 특성항목으로 조사하였고, 메타분석기술을 이용하여 분석을 수행하였다. 총 14편의 연구논문들을 분석에 사용하였다. 미생물제제 처리는 대조구에 비하여 pH, 젖산, 초산, L/A 비율, 프로피온산 및 ADF 함량 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다 (p<0.01). 이와는 반대로 낙산, WSC, CP, $NH_3-N$ 및 NDF는 대조구에 비하여 감소하는 것으로 나타났다 (p<0.001). 유기산제제의 처리는 ADF 결과를 제외하고 모든 조사 항목에서 대조구에 비해 처리구에서 높은 결과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다 (p<0.001). 미생물제제와 유기산제제의 처리효과 비교에서 유의적인 차이는 낙산, WSC, CP 및 $NH_3-N$에서 나타났고 (p<0.05), 미생물제제 처리가 유기산제제 처리에 비하여 낙산, WSC, CP 및 $NH_3-N$ 함량을 낮추는 것으로 나타났다 (p<0.05). This study was conducted to estimate and compare the effects of bacterial inoculants and organic acids on silage quality. Silage pH, lactate, acetate, lactate:acetate ratio, propionate, butyrate, water-soluble carbohydrate, crude protein, ammonia-N, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber (ADF) were used as parameters for quality analysis and a meta-analysis technique was employed to determine the effect size. As a data pool for analysis, we examined 14 research papers. Bacterial inoculants were found to elevate pH, lactate, acetate, lactate:acetate ratio, propionate and ADF contents compared to the controls (p<0.01). In contrast bacterial inoclulants decreased butyrate, water-soluble carbohydrate, crude protein and ammonia-N contents (p<0.01). In the organic acid treatments, all parameters except ADF showed higher contents than the control (p<0.01). In the comparison of effect sizes between the two treatments, significant differences were detected in butyrate, water-soluble carbohydrate, crude protein and ammonia-N (p<0.05). It may be concluded that bacterial inoculants could improve silage quality in terms of the aforementioned four parameters compared with organic acid treatments.

본 연구에서는 메타분석을 통하여 heterofermentative과 homofermentative LAB가 사일리지의 품질과 호기적 안정성에 대한 효과를 분석하였다. 일련의 분석결과 접종균으로 사용된 젖산균의 종류에 따라서 사일리지의 품질이 다르게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 호기적 안정성에 있어서 heterofermentative LAB의 사용이 매우 중요함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과는 사일리지의 제조 목적 및 사용방법에 따라서 접종균주를 다르게 선발하여야 하며, 사용방법에 따라서 사일리지 내 유기산 조성을 변화시킬 수 있는 발효조건이 필요함을 시사하고 있고, 또한 보다 정밀한 사일리지 발효기술에 대한 기초자료를 제공한다. In the silage quality, the process of fermentation and use of micro-organism as starter cultures are crucial. The present study investigated the effect of homo and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria as a starter culture strain on the silage quality and its aerobic stability using meta-analysis. Total 19 studies were used in the analysis. According to the strains of lactic acid bacteria used, experimental groups were assigned to heterofermentative (HEL), mixture of hetero and homofermentative (HHO), homofermentative (HOL) and various homofermentative (HOM). In each experimental group, standardized result of the treatment (with inoculant) was compared with the control (without inoculant) using risk ratio calculation method. The effect of experimental group was also compared. Different starter culture strains did not influence on silage pH and propionic acid production. However, lactic acid and acetic acid production were significantly (p<0.05) influenced by the start culture strains. HOM showed the greatest lactic acid production and HEL was the lowest. In contrast, HEL showed the greatest in acetic acid production and HOM and HOL were the lowest. In terms of ammonia nitrogen, HHO produced more (p<0.05) than the rest of the treatment. In crude protein and water soluble carbohydrate contents, there were no significant effects among treatments. Different strain of lactic acid bacteria significantly influenced on the effect of aerobic stability (p<0.05). Use of heterofermentative showed greater aerobic stability and the use of homofermentative lactic acid bacteria.

수수 · 수단그라스 사일리지 제조에 있어 BMR 품종과 파옥쇄 첨가 효과

권찬호,김은중,조상범,Kwon, Chan Ho,Kim, Eun Joong,Cho, Sangbuem 한국초지조사료학회 2014 한국초지조사료학회지 Vol.34 No.4

유기 축산을 위한 여름철 사료작물인 수수 수단그라스교잡종은 생산성이 높고, 잡초발생이 미미하며, 병충해에 의한 피해도 작아서 무농약 재배에 적합하다. 그러나 수수 수단그라스 교잡종은 당 함량이 부족하고, 수분 함량이 높아서 낙산발효로 인해 사일리지 품질에 문제가 있다. 최근 육성된 BMR (Brown Mid Rib) 품종은 줄기 내 당도가 높게 개발되었다. 따라서 본 시험은 기존의 수수 수단교잡종과 BMR 수수 수단교잡종을 재배하여 사일리지로 제조하고, 수분 조절 및 영양소 보충을 위해 파옥쇄를 첨가하여 사일리지의 품질변화를 관찰하였다. 수수 수단교잡종과 BMR 수수 수단교잡종 사이에 생육특성 및 생산성은 차이가 없었으나 줄기내 당 함량은 BMR 품종이 약 $2B^{\circ}$ 정도 높은 경향을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 유기산 중 lactic acid의 비율은 대조구(SX17품종)의 78.5%에 비해 BMR 품종은 82.8%로 유의적으로(p<0.05)에 높았고, butyric acid의 비율은 대조구(SX17품종)의 18.5%에 비해 BMR 품종은 9.8%로 유의적으로(p<0.05)에 낮아서 BMR 품종을 사용할 경우 품질이 크게 개선되었다. 파옥쇄 첨가시 첨가수준간에는 NDF 및 ADF 함량은 대조구(SX17) 품종과 BMR 품종(Diamond BMR) 모두 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). TDN 함량 역시 대조구(SX17) 품종의 56.2와 BMR 품종(Diamond BMR)의 57.1간에는 유의적 차이가 없었다. 그러나 파옥쇄 첨가시에는 대조구(SX17) 품종과 BMR 품종(Diamond BMR) 모두에서 파옥쇄의 첨가수준에 따라 TDN 함량이 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). The present study was conducted to evaluate the productivity of $Sorghum{\times}sudangrass$ (SX17) hybrid and BMR (brown mid rib) $Sorghum{\times}sudangrass$ hybrid and silage quality of these forages with corn grain supplementation. The effect of corn grain supplementation on the quality of silages was also investigated. No remarkable differences at growth characteristics and productivities in two hybrids were found. Sugar content, however, in stem of BMR hybrid showed significantly great (p<0.05) and the difference between two hybrids was about $2B^{\circ}$. Ratio of lactic acid in total organic acid in BMR hybrid (82.8%) was significantly greater than the control (SX17 hybrid) (78.5%) (p<0.05). Ratio of butyric acid in total organic acid in SX17 hybrid (18.5%) was significantly greater than BMR hybrid (9.8%) (p<0.05). According to the result of organic acid ratio, it could be assumed that the use of BMR hybrid can improve silage quality. NDF and ADF contents in both SX17 and BMR hybrids were significantly declined with increased corn grain supplementation (p<0.05). Different TDN values in SX17 (56.2) and BMR (57.1) hybrids were detected. However, TDN values of both SX17 and BMR hybrid silages were significantly elevated by increasing the proportion of ground corn (p<0.05).

Joung Yong Kim,Seongjin Oh,Chaehwa Ryu,A-leum Lee,Sangbuem Cho,Nag-Jin Choi 경상대학교 농업생명과학연구원 2018 농업생명과학연구 Vol.52 No.5

This study was conducted to improve growth performance of Hanwoo heifer and to produce high quality of meat with dietary means during growing and early fattening period. Particularly, additional energy diet to relieve estrus stress was main purpose in this study. The results of in vitro rumen fermentation indicated that there was no negative effect by additional energy diet as treatments. In the feeding trial, twenty Hanwoo heifers(average 10 months age) were allocated and distributed into two treatments in randomized block design based on body weight. There were three growth stages such as growing, early fattening and late fattening periods in this feeding program, respectively. In growing stage, there were two treatments consisting of only total mixed ration(TMR) as a control and TMR with additional energy treatment. The experimental diets were fed twice a day, and water and mineral were freely accessed. In additional energy treatment, 500 g of concentrate diet was fed daily to relieve estrus stress due to obese with high energy intake. Not outstandingly differences were found across the treatments during entiretrial period. While, unexpectedly greater feed conversion ratio in treatment compared to the control was found during late fattening period. It seems that the blood cortisol decreased with addition energy supplementation compared with the control during trail period. Carcass characteristics including carcass weight, back fat thickness, marbling score, meat color, fat color, maturity and texture were not significantly different each other. Rib-eye area, however, was greater in the control compared to the treatment(p<0.05). In addition, it appears that yield index was tended to be greater in the control. In conclusion, it is suggested that additional energy supplementation to Hanwoo heifer could get a potential in improving meat quality and relieving estrus stress.
