Greenhouse gas emissions from livestock: sources, estimation, and mitigation

Eska Nugrahaeningtyas, Jong-Sik Lee, Kyu-Hyun Park

J Anim Sci Technol 2024;66(6):1083-1098.
https://doi.org/10.5187/jast.2024.e86

The increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has resulted in climate change and global warming. Human activities in many sectors, including agriculture, contribute to approximately 9.2% of total GHG emissions from Annex I countries. An argument on issues of livestock being the highest contributor to GHG emissions has grown since FAO’s 2006 report Livestock’s Long Shadow. The issue has continued growing, conflicting the importance of the industry in terms of food security and livelihoods, thus, monitoring GHG emission from this sector is v...

Enhancing animal breeding through quality control in genomic data - a review

Jungjae Lee, Jong Hyun Jung, Sang-Hyon Oh

J Anim Sci Technol 2024;66(6):1099-1108.
https://doi.org/10.5187/jast.2024.e92

High-throughput genotyping and sequencing has revolutionized animal breeding by providing access to vast amounts of genomic data to facilitate precise selection for desirable traits. This shift from traditional methods to genomic selection provides dense marker information for predicting genetic variants. However, the success of genomic selection heavily depends on the accuracy and quality of the genomic data. Inaccurate or low-quality data can lead to flawed predictions, compromising breeding programs and reducing genetic gains. Therefore, str...

Long noncoding RNA network for lncRNA-mRNA interactions throughout swine estrous cycle reveals developmental and hormonal regulations in reproductive tissues

Yoon-Been Park, Chiwoong Lim, Byeonghwi Lim, Jun-Mo Kim

J Anim Sci Technol 2024;66(6):1109-1126.
https://doi.org/10.5187/jast.2023.e137

The mechanism of estrous cycles of pigs should be explored because their reproductive traits are useful for manipulating productivity and solving problems such as infertility. These estrous cycles should be elucidated to understand the complex interactions between various reproductive tissues (including the ovary, oviduct, and endometrium) and the complex range of hormone secretions during estrous cycles. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate target genes at transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational regulation levels in va...

Conception rate according to the size and location of corpus luteum and coexistent follicle before embryo transfer in Hanwoo

Su-Geun Lim, Junkoo Yi, Jaejung Ha, Jinyeon Park, Woo-Sung Kwon, Daejung Yu, Zaeyoung Ryoo, Daehyun Kim

J Anim Sci Technol 2024;66(6):1127-1136.
https://doi.org/10.5187/jast.2024.e31

The size and location of the corpus luteum and the presence of coexistent follicles are crucial factors in synchronizing recipients and determining the suitability for embryo transfer. However, there has been a recent decline in conception rates after embryo transfer, which is attributed to environmental pollution, uterine inflammation, ovarian cysts, and other factors. Therefore, we conducted experiments to establish a novel criterion for successful embryo transfer assessment. To assess the suitability for embryo transfer one day before transf...

Effect of grain vinegar feeding on milk production and fatty acid profile of Holstein cows

Seongjin Oh, Tomohiro Mitani, Masahito Kawai, Koichiro Ueda

J Anim Sci Technol 2024;66(6):1162-1169.
https://doi.org/10.5187/jast.2023.e102

Incorporating organic acids into cattle feed should be carefully considered because dietary organic acids may affect voluntary feed intake and rumen fermentation. We conducted a feeding trial for the practical evaluation of grain vinegar. Lactating Holstein cows (n = 19) were divided into two groups, then were subjected to each of two treatments in a crossover design. The rumen fermentation parameters, blood urea nitrogen and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), milk composition, and milk fatty acid content were analyzed. No notable changes were ...

The effect of frozen storage (−18°C for 2 months) and thawing (4°C for 16 h) on the taste-related compounds and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in chicken breast meat was studied. After freeze–thawing, inosine monophosphate levels in chicken meat decreased and inosine levels increased. Free amino acid content increased significantly, regardless of bitter, sweet, or umami amino acids.

J Anim Sci Technol 2024;66(6):1237-1245.
https://doi.org/10.5187/jast.2023.e117

Earwax, a semi-solid substance, of both humans and non-human animals contains the stress hormone cortisol. Extraction of cortisol from earwax requires the use of organic solvents to eliminate interference factors. This study aimed to investigate the effects of organic solvents on the extraction efficiency of earwax cortisol from Hanwoo cattle.

J Anim Sci Technol 2024;66(6):1282-1290.
https://doi.org/10.5187/jast.2024.e91

Diet digestibility can vary based on factors such as the type of ingredients, processing techniques, formulation, fiber content, and nutrient interactions. Unlike proteins and fats, there is no specific carbohydrate requirement, which typically constitutes 30%–60% of commercial dried dog foods. Because of the significant proportion of carbohydrates in dog food, this study aimed to evaluate the differences in nutrient digestibility among barley, brown rice, corn, mung bean, and rice, which are common carbohydrate sources in commercial dog food...
