This study was to investigate the effects of different phytogenic feed additives (PFA) dosage levels in growing- finishing pigs stressed by high stocking density. A total of 72 mix sexed 12 weeks growing pigs ([Landrace × Yorkshire] × Duroc) with initial body weight (BW) of 49.28 ± 4.58 kg were...

Inhalation of organic dust or endotoxin in the dust is considered a major risk factor for occupational respiratory illnesses. Eighteen environmental characteristics associated with animal husbandry were surveyed at 36 swine farms in seven provinces throughout South Korea. Association of these...

30 sows were assigned to the following treatments: (1) housed in groups from mating to day 107 of gestation and fed in the farrowing house during the 35-day lactation period (group GG), (2) individually housed in stalls from mating to 80 days of gestation, then housed in groups until 107 days of...

A total of 720 slow-growing Korean meat-type (Hanhyop 3) chicken were used to evaluate the effect of stocking densities and dietary protein levels on growth performance, meat quality, bone mineral composition, and serum corticosterone. Three (6.3, 9.5, and 12.6 birds/m²) stocking densities and two...

The objective of this study was evaluation of pig behavior changes related to temperature, relative humidity, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and illuminance. A total of 24 growing pigs ([Yorkshire × Landrace] × Duroc) were used in the experiment. A sensor was installed at a height of 0.5 m in...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary bacteriophage (BP) on growth performance and cecal bacterial populations in broiler chickens raised in different housing systems. A total of 1170 1-d-old broiler chickens were housed in either battery cages (120 birds) or...

We propose an optimal system for determining the shipping schedule for pigs using a predictive model using machine learning based on big data. This system receives photographic and weight measurement information for each pig from a camera and a weighing machine installed in a pig pen for raising...

The Republic of Korea is one of the largest producers of farm-raised olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), accounting for nearly half of the global production. However, global warming has affected the aquaculture industry worldwide as it impacts survival, growth, and immunity and accelerates...

This study evaluated the effects of shelter pipes (PS), tube shelters (TS), and no shelter (NS) on the growth of juvenile common octopus (Octopus vulgaris). The grow-out was studied in situ by conducting a passive follow-up survey using integrated transponder tags. The growth and survival rates...

'Gowoo', a mid-late flowering, high yielding rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar with glabrous leaf and hull and resistant to multiple diseases and insects, was developed for forage use. It was developed for use as a whole crop silage obtained from a cross between 'Kusahonami' with high biomass, smooth ...
