This study was conducted to develop a functional feed additive for pig with spent $Lycium$ $chinense$ Mill fruit. We investigated the optimum conditions for the extraction of polyphenol from spent $Lycium$ $chinense$ Mill using methanol. Methanol concentration as a solvent for extraction, extraction time and the volume of solvent per a gram of solid (ground spent Lyceum chinense Mill) were selected as parameters. Three levels of parameters were configured according to Box Behnken experiment design, a fractional factorial design, and total 15 trials were employed. Total polyphenol concentration from each trial was used as response from experiment system and effects of parameters on total polyphenol extraction efficiency were determined using response surface model. As a result, all terms in analysis of variance, regression ($p$ = 0.001), linear ($p$ = 0.002), square ($p$ = 0.017) and interaction ($p$ = 0.047) was significant and adjusted determination coefficient ($R^2$) was 94.7%. Total polyphenol extraction efficiency was elevated along increased methanol content and decreased solvent to solid ratio. However extraction time did not affect the efficiency. This study provides a primary information for the optimum extraction conditions to maximize total polyphenol recovery from spent Lycium chinens Mill fruit and this result could be applied to re-use of argo-industrial by-products and to develop of functional feed additives in organic farming.

본 시험은 목초액이 토종닭 한협 3호의 생산성, 유해 가스 발생량, 혈액 성상 그리고 가슴육의 지방산 함량에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 토종닭 사료에 수준별로 첨가하여 70일 동안 급여하였다. 목초액은 0, 0.1, 0.2% 수준으로 첨가 · 급여하였고, 처리구당 5반복, 반복당 16수씩 총 240수를 시험에 이용하였다. 시험 결과, 목초액은 생산성에 있어서 큰 영향을 미치지 못하였으나, 암모니아 가스 발생량은 대조구에 비하여 유의하게 감소시켰다(p<0.05). 혈중 total cholesterol과 HDL-cholesterol 농도에 있어서는 목초액 처리구가 대조구에 비하여 유의하게 증가한 반면 triglyceride의 농도는 감소하였다(p<0.05). 가슴육의 포화지방산인 myristic acid와 stearic acid는 목초액을 급여함에 따라 대조구에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하였으나, 불포화지방산인 oleic acid와 linolenic acid는 유의적으로 증가하였다(P<0.05). 따라서 본 연구 결과, 목초액은 유해 가스 저감 효과가 있으며, 토종닭의 혈중 지질 수준을 개선시키고, 가슴육의 포화지방산 함량을 감소시키고 단쇄 불포화지방산의 함량은 증가시키는 것으로 판단된다. The current study was conducted to estimate the effect of dietary pyroligneous acid (PA) on performance, noxious gas emission in excreta, blood parameter and fatty acid composition of breast meat in Korean native chicken. A total of 240 one-day-old chicks were allocated to three treatments (PA; 0, 0.1, 0.2%) with five replicate of 16 each per treatment for 10 weeks. Although there was no effect on the performance, ammonia gas concentration was significantly decreased in the PA treatments compared to the control (p<0.05). Birds fed PA had higher serum total protein and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) concentration but lower triglyceride content in the PA 0.2% treatment than control (p<0.05). In fatty acids composition of breast meat, myristic and stearic acid were significantly decreased, whereas oleic and linolenic acid were significantly increased in the group fed PA compared to those of the control group (p<0.05). The result of the current study indicates that dietary PA may reduce the noxious gas emission and improve lipid levels as well as increase of monounsaturated fatty acids composition of breast meat in Korean native chickens.

심관섭(Kwan Seob Shim),박강희(Garng Hee Park),나종삼(Chong Sam Na),지중룡(Joong Ryong Ji),최호성(Ho Sung Choe) 韓國家禽學會 2010 韓國家禽學會誌 Vol.37 No.4

본 실험은 타우린이 고지방 사료를 급여한 산란계의 생산성, 계란 품질, 혈액 성상, 간 조직의 지질 및 지질과산화물 수준에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 45주령 Hy-Line 갈색계 280수를 4개의 처리구로 구분하여 처리구당 7반복, 반복당 10수씩 배치하여 4주간 실시하였다. 실험 처리구는 기초 사료를 대조구로 하고, 기초 사료+0.5% 타우린(CT), 기초 사료+5% 대두유(HF) 그리고 기초 사료+5% 대두유+0.5% 타우린(HFT)로 구분하였다. 난중은 CT가 대조구보다 유의적으로 낮았으나(P<0.05), HFT는 대조구 그리고 HF와 비교하여 비슷한 수준이었다. 혈청 중 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방 그리고 GOT 농도에서 HFT는 HF보다 유의적으로 각각 약 30%, 36% 그리고 20% 감소하였다(P<0.05). 간 조직에서 중성지방 농도는 HFT보다 HF보다 약 28% 낮은 경향이었으며, 지질과 산화물 농도는 HFT가 HF보다 유의적으로 약 25% 감소하였다(P<0.05). 따라서 본 연구 결과, 고지방 사료에 타우린의 급여는 산란계의 생산성에 영향을 미치지 않으면서 혈청 중총 콜레스테롤과 중성지방 농도를 개선하였으며, 간 조직의 지질과산화물 농도를 감소시키는 것으로 평가되었다. The current study was conducted to estimate the effect of dietary taurine on performance, egg quality, blood parameter, liver lipids and lipid peroxidation level of laying hens fed high fat diet. Two hundred eighty laying hens, forty five weeks of age, were allocated to four treatment groups with seven replicates of 10 each per treatment for 4 weeks. Experimental diets were assigned to each of the four groups: control diet (CON), CON with 0.5% taurine (CT), CON with 5% soybean oil (HF), and CON with 5% soybean oil and 0.5% taurine (HFT). Egg weight was significantly lower in the control than the CT (P<0.05). However, the HFT was similar to the level compared to both control and HF. Serum concentrations of total cholesterol, triglyceride and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) were significantly decreased by about 30%, 36% and 20%, respectively in the HFT compared to the HF (P<0.05). In the liver tissue, triglyceride concentration tended to be lower by about 28% in the HFT compared to the HF (P<0.05). The hepatic lipid peroxidation level was significantly decreased by about 25% in the HFT compared to the HF (P<0.05). These results indicated that taurine supplementation improved the serum total cholesterol, triglyceride concentration, and decreased hepatic lipid peroxidation level without affecting performance in laying hens fed high fat diet.

강다래,심관섭,최호성,나종삼,Kang, Da-Rae,Shim, Kwan-Seob,Choe, Ho-Sung,Na, Chong-Sam 한국유기농업학회 2017 韓國有機農業學會誌 Vol.25 No.4

본 연구는 10종 허브 추출물에 대한 DPPH 자유라디칼 소거능, 항균효과 및 세포독성에 미치는 영향을 조사함으로써 항생제 대체제로서 활용 가능성을 위한 기초 자료로 제시하고자 수행하였다. 10종의 허브 추출물의 DPPH 자유라디칼 소거능은 로즈마리, 오레가노 및 캐모마일이 각 49.9, 48.9, 47.7%으로 유의적으로 가장 높았다. 허브 추출물의 E. coli K99와 S. typhimurium에 대한 항균활성은 베르가못, 오레가노, 타임과 로즈마리가 두 균주에 공통적으로 활성이 높게 측정되었으며, 활성이 나타나는 농도에서의 세포독성이 비교적 낮아 안전한 것으로 관찰되었다. 본 연구 결과 유기 축산을 위한 가축 내 천연 항생제 대체제로 항균 및 항산화 활성이 높고, 세포독성이 낮게 나타난 오레가노와 로즈마리가 천연물질로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 다양한 추출 조건으로 최적 추출 효율을 검토하여 추가적인 생리활성물질 검정과 해당 물질에 대한 연구가 필요하다. In this study, the DPPH free radical scavenging activity, antimicrobial effects, growth inhibition and cytotoxicity of herb extracts were determined to screen alternative antibiotics. Hot water extracts of 10 species herbs (Origanum vulgare, Monarda didyma, Echinacea purpurea, Ocimum basilicum, Mentha piperita, Melissa officinalis, Thymus vulgaris, Stevia rebaudiana, Rosmarinus officinalis, Matricaria recutica) were used. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of all herb extracts was ranged from 31.4-49.9%, and significantly great activties were found at Rosmarinus officinalis, Origanum vulgare and Matricaria recutica (P<0.05). Hot water extracts of monarda didyma, origanum vulgare, thymus vulgaris and rosmarinus officinalis showed greater antimicrobial activities compared to others. Additionally, those four extracts represented relatively low cytotoxicity compared to others. As a result, it was found that Origanum vulgare and Rosmarinus officinalis which possessed great antioxidant and antimicrobial activity with less cytotoxicity. So these two herb extracts can be used as an alternative of antibiotics for organic farming.

본 연구는 천연물질에서 유래한 반추위 메탄저감용 친환경 첨가제 개발을 위해 각기 다른 종균을 이용하여 발효한 세신 추출물의 항균활성, 항산화활성 및 in vitro 반추위 발효시험을 체계적으로 실시하였다. 접종된 균주들의 성장효율을 알아보기 위해 실시한 생균수측정 결과 L. curvatus NJ40 균주에서 유의적으로 높은 균주성장을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 항균활성측정 결과는 대조구 대비 L. curvatus NJ40 및 L. plantarum NJ45 균주와 발효된 세신 추출물이 병원균에 대한 항균효과를 나타내는 것으로 조사되었다. In vitro 반추위 발효실험에 세신 및 발효 세신 추출물을 적용한 결과, 휘발성 지방산 생성량 대비 반추위 메탄 저감효과가 나타났다. 특히 반추위 미생물 활력 및 사료이용 효율을 대표할 수 있는 휘발성 지방산 생성효율에 대한 부정적 효과 없이, 오히려 휘발성지방산 생성효율을 향상시키면서 반추위 메탄 저감효과를 가져올 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. The present study was conducted to investigate effective starter culture to improve biological activity of Asarum sieboldii. Antibacterial activity, antioxidant activity and reduction of enteric rumen methane production were used as criterions for biological activity. Ground A. sieboldii was added in MRS broth at 10% (w/v) and fermented by different starter cultures. Weissella confusa NJ28, Weissella cibaria NJ33, Lactobacillus curvatus NJ40, Lactobacillus brevis NJ42, Lactobacillus plantarum NJ45 and Lactobacillus sakei NJ48 were used for starter culture strains. Each starter culture was inoculated with 1% (v/v) ratio and fermentation was performed at $30^{\circ}C$ with agitation (150 rpm) for 48 h. MRS broth for the control was employed without starter culture. Then the fermentation growth was dried and extracted using ethyl alcohol. The growth of starter culture was detected at NJ40, NJ42, NJ45 and NJ48. And the highest cell growth was found in NJ40. Antibacterial activity against to Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogens, Mannheimia haemolytica and Salmonella gallinarum were observed in the extract fermented by NJ40 and NJ45. All treatments showed antioxidant activities, however, there were no significant differences (p>0.05). In in vitro rumen fermentation, negative control (NC) and positive control (PC) were assigned to without extract and with non-fermented A. sieboldii extract. Significant suppression of gas productions were detected in positive control and treatments compared to negative control (p<0.05). However, total volatile fatty acid production was not suppressed. Significant methane reduction per total volatile fatty acid productions were found in positive control and NJ45 treatment (p<0.05). The present study suggested a fermentation of A. sieboldii using NJ45 strain could improve its biological activity and make possible for its use in bio additive for enteric rumen methane mitigation without suppression of animal productivity.

박성복,김상우,김영신,나종삼,심관섭,Park, Seong-Bok,Kim, Sang-Woo,Kim, Young-Sin,Na, Chong-Sam,Shim, Kwan-Seob 한국유기농업학회 2014 韓國有機農業學會誌 Vol.22 No.3

본 연구는 키토산올리고당의 음수 내 급여가 따른 육계의 혈액성상, 면역력 및 항산화효소계에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 1일령 Arbor Acre종 약 2만 8천수를 대조구와 키토산 음수 급여구로 나누어 5주 동안 실시하였다. 육계의 혈액 성상에서 Glucose의 농도는 대조구보다 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구가 유의적으로 감소하였으나, Triglyceride, Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol 및 LDL-cholesterol 농도에는 대조구와 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구간에 차이를 보이지 않았고 간 손상에 대한 인자인 GOT농도는 시험구간에 차이가 없었지만 GPT농도는 대조구보다 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구가 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). 혈액 내 면역글로블린 농도 중, IgG 농도는 대조구와 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구간에 차이가 없었으나, IgM 농도는 대조구보다 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구가 유의적으로 증가하였다(P<0.05). 항산화력과 SOD의 농도는 시험구간에 차이가 없었으며, Catalase와 Glutathione peroxidase의 농도는 대조구보다 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구가 유의적으로 증가하였다(P<0.05). 따라서, 키토올리고당의 음수 급여로 인해 육계의 당대사, 면역기능 및 1차 항산화 효소계의 활성을 증가시켜 육계의 강건성에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 보여주었다. The study was conducted to the effect of inclusion of chitosan-oligosaccharide in drinking water on the blood component profile, immunity and antioxidative enzyme of broiler chickens. A total of 28,000 broiler chickens (Arbor Acre) at 1 days of age were fed the commercial diet until 35 days of age, the treatment divided into two treatments, normal control group and chitosan-oligosaccharide in drinking water group. In concentration of glucose, treatment was significantly decreased than control (P<0.05), but not statistically different on the Triglyceride, Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol in the Blood component profile of broiler chicks. The concentration of glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (GOT) was statistically different but the concentration of glutamic pyruvate transaminase (GPT) was significantly decreased in treatment fed chitosan-oligosaccharide than control (P<0.05). Immunoglobullins in the blood, concentration of IgG was not significantly different among control and treatment but concentration of IgM was significantly increased in fed chitosan-oligosaccharide than control (P<0.05). Antioxidant and super oxide dismutase (SOD) was not different among control and treatment and concentration of catalase and glutathione peroxidase were significantly increased in fed chitosan-oligosaccharide than control (P<0.05).

페퍼민트분말 급여가 비육기 재래흑돼지의 육질 특성 및 지방산 조성에 미치는 영향

지중룡,최영민,송동용,최호성,나종삼,심관섭,Ji, Joong-Ryong,Choi, Young-Min,Song, Dong-Yong,Choe, Ho-Sung,Na, Chong-Sam,Shim, Kwan-Seob 한국축산식품학회 2011 한국축산식품학회지 Vol.31 No.2

본 연구는 페퍼민트 급여가 재래흑돼지의 육질특성과 근육내 지방산 조성 및 콜레스테롤 함량에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하기 위해 실시하였다. 이를 위해 페퍼민트 분말을 평균체중이 $77{\pm}5$ kg일 때부터 출하까지 0.2%(T1) 또는 0.4%(T2)를 50일간 급여하였으며, 도축 후 등심근을 채취하여 다양한 품질특성을 분석하였다. 일반성분은 처리구간에 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, T2처리구에서 조지방 함량이 대조구보다 감소하는 경향이었다. 사후 45분 pH는 처리구간에 유의적인 차이가 없었지만, 24시 pH에서 대조구보다 유의적으로 T2처리구가 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 육색에 있어서 명도와 황색도는 T2가 대조구보다 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 연도와 보수력 역시 처리구간에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 페퍼민트 첨가는 지방산 조성과 콜레스테롤 함량에 영향을 미치지 못하였으나, T1은 대조구보다 포화지방산이 감소하고 불포화지방산이 증가하는 경향이었다. 또한 콜레스테롤 감소지수는 T1이 대조구보다 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합하면 페퍼민트 첨가 사료는 돈육질에 큰 영향을 미치지는 않지만, 지방산 및 콜레스테롤의 건강기능적인 측면에서 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되며, 보다 심도 있는 추가 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료된다. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of peppermint powder on meat quality and fatty acid composition in finishing Korean native black pigs. Ninety pigs were randomly allocated to three dietary treatments and fed peppermint powder at 0 (C), 0.2 (T1), and 0.4% (T2) in the basal diet, respectively for 50 d. The proximate composition of Longissimus dorsi muscle was not significantly different among the treatments; however, the fat content in T2 tended to be lower than the control. No difference in $pH_{45min}$ was observed, whereas $pH_{24h}$ was higher in T2 than the control (p<0.01). T2 showed the lowest lightness (p<0.01) and yellowness values (p<0.05), but shear force and drip loss were no different among the treatments. Individual fatty acid and cholesterol compositions did not differ among the treatments; however, T1 showed a decreasing trend for saturated fatty acid content and an increasing trend for unsaturated fatty acid content. The hypocholesterolemic index was significantly higher in T1 than in the control (p<0.05). These results suggest that dietary peppermint could positively affect fatty acid and cholesterol levels without changing meat quality in finishing Korean native black pigs.

본 연구는 고온 스트레스 하에 타우린 첨가가 육계의 간에서 heat shock protein 70(hsp 70) 및 cell free system 상태에서 단백질 합성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 공시동물은 1일령 육계 120수를 2주간 사육 후, 대조(CO, 24℃)와 고온스트레스 처리(34℃)에서 타우린을 공급하지 않은 처리구(HO)와 타우린 0.1%를 공급한 처리구(HT)로 나누어 3처리 4반복, 반복 당 10수씩 배치하였다. 고온 스트레스는 3, 6, 9, 12일간 진행하였다. 최종 체중과 간 무게는 HO와 HT가 CO보다 유의적으로 낮았다(P<0.05). 그러나 타우린을 첨가한 HT은 HO보다 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05). 육계 간에서 hsp70 발현은 HO가 CO와 HT보다 유의적으로 높았으나(P<0.05), CO와 HT는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. In vitro 실험에서 고온 및 타우린은 21일령 육계 간의 총 단백질 합성률에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서 타우린 섭취가 in vivo 육계의 성장에서 고온 스트레스를 완화시키지만, 생체 내의 단백질합성에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않는 것을 보이며, 이러한 결과는 타우린이 다양한 생리학적 기전을 통해 단백질 turnover 대사에 간접적으로 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것으로 사료된다. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of taurine supplementation on heat shock protein 70 and in vitro protein turnover in broiler chicks under chronic heat stress. Chicks were allocated into 3 groups of 10 birds per group; the control group was maintained at a temperature of 24℃ without taurine (CO group), the heat-stressed group maintained at a temperature of 34℃ without taurine (HO group), and heat-stressed group maintained at a temperature of 34℃ with taurine (HT group). The final body and liver weights of broilers in the HO and HT groups were significantly lower than those of broilers in the CO group (P<0.05). However, these parameters of the broilers in the HT group were significantly higher than those of broilers in the HO group (P<0.05). The heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) concentration in the liver of broilers in the HO group was significantly higher than that of broilers in the CO and HT groups, but the hsp70 concentration in the liver of broilers in the HT group was not different from that of broilers in the CO group. Liver homogenates of 21 day-old broilers were incubated at temperatures of 37°C and 45℃ to prove the effect of high temperature and taurine on total protein syntheses. Neither high temperature nor taurine supplementation affected protein syntheses in liver homogenates of the broilers. However, the more the temperature increased, the more the degradation rates of cytoplasmic protein in liver homogenates increased; however, taurine supplementation had no effects on the protein syntheses in the liver of the broiler. It is possible that taurine indirectly affected protein turnover via various physiological mechanisms.

This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of mixed probiotic on the immunity, productivity index and mortality rate in the broiler. Total of 120 one-day-old Ross broilers chicks were randomly assigned into two treatments (control dietary group and probiotic-treated group) with three replications of each treatment. The probiotic group broiler had a lower mortality rate than control during the experimental period. The productivity index in the probiotic group increased significantly than the control group. The weight of the bursa of fabricius was high in the probiotic-treated group than the control group. Activated the immunity level after fed the probiotic mixed diet compared to the control group. Furthermore, the probiotic diet significantly decreased the saturated fatty the control group. Whereas the probiotic mixed diet increased the unsaturated fatty acid than the control group. Afterward, the diet including probiotic induced positive impact on broilers immunity level. This indicates that a probiotic mixed diet could be protecting the intestine from the invasion of a pathogenic organism. It would be beneficial to the poultry industries by decrease the broiler mortality rate with elevated the immunity.

Intensive farming methods that do not guarantee animal welfare can induce stress in pigs. Stress, in turn, can reduce their disease resistance and influence their hormones and metabolites in such a manner that productivity is negatively affected. This study was conducted to compare the stress related factors and blood characteristics of pigs raised on conventional farms and those raised on animal welfare farms. We measured the levels of cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine, biochemical parameters in blood and glycogen, L-lactate and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in muscle, as physiological markers of indicating the stress in conventional farm pigs (Control, n=10) and animal welfare farm pigs (Welfare, n=10). We found that there was a significant difference in the albumin-globulin ratio (A/G ratio), as well as the albumin (ALB), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels between the two farms. Epinephrine was significantly higher in conventional farm, while level of norepinephrine was higher in animal welfare farm. There was no significant difference in cortisol, which is known as a stress hormone, across the two groups of farms. Muscular glycogen content was significantly high in animal welfare farm pigs. While L-lactate tended to be low in the animal welfare farm pigs, the difference between them and the conventional farm cohorts was not significant. HSP70 showed high levels of expression in conventional farm. Thus, we suggested that blood parameter results showed a stress response in the livers of conventional farm, and that catecholamine hormones, glycogen, L-lactate and HSP70 can be used as physiological factors of assessing animal welfare.
