This study aimed to analyze the leading research materials and research trends related to livestock food in Asia in recent years and propose future research agendas to ultimately contribute to the development of related livestock species. On analyzing more than 200 relevant articles, a high frequency of studies on livestock species and products with large breeding scales and vast markets was observed. Asia possesses the largest pig population and most extensive pork market, followed by that of beef, chicken, and milk; moreover, blood and egg markets have also been studied. Regarding research keywords, “meat quality” and “probiotics” were the most common, followed by “antioxidants,” which have been extensively studied in the past, and “cultured meat,” which has recently gained traction. The future research agenda for meat products is expected to be dominated by alternative livestock products, such as cultured and plant-derived meats; improved meat product functionality and safety; the environmental impacts of livestock farming; and animal welfare research. The future research agenda for dairy products is anticipated to include animal welfare, dairy production, probiotic-based development of high-quality functional dairy products, the development of alternative dairy products, and the advancement of lactose-free or personalized dairy products. However, determining the extent to which the various research articles’ findings have been applied in real-world industry proved challenging, and research related to animal food laws and policies and consumer surveys was lacking. In addition, studies on alternatives for sustainable livestock development could not be identified. Therefore, future research may augment industrial application, and multidisciplinary research related to animal food laws and policies as well as eco-friendly livestock production should be strengthened.

It has been reported that the administration of Limosilactobacillus fermentum alleviates diseases such as osteoporosis and colitis. In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of Limosilactobacillusfermentum KUFM407, a probiotic strain of LAB isolated from Korean traditional fermented food, Kimchi. Whole genome sequencing of L. fermentum KUFM407 was performed on the Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore MinION platform. The genome consisted of one circular chromosome (2,077,616 bp) with a GC content of 51.5% and one circular plasmid sequence (13,931 bp). Genome annotation identified 1,932 protein-coding genes, 15 rRNAs, and 58 tRNAs in the assembly. The function annotation of the predicted proteins revealed genes involved in the biosynthesis of bacteriocin and fatty acids. The complete genome of L. fermentum KUFM407 could provide valuable information for the development of new probiotic food and health supplements.

Korean native pigs (KNPs) have been one of the traditional livestock that have coexisted with the Korean people for centuries, primarily raised in rural areas of Korea. Korean native pigs have adapted to the climate and geography of Korean Peninsula for a long time, exhibiting excellent adaptability even in challenging environments. For these reasons, the preservation and purification of KNPs are crucial in securing unique genetic resources. Therefore, this review covers the characteristics, production status, commercial value and potential breeding directions of KNPs. Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go for the improvement of KNP. It is crucial to acknowledge the current challenges, identify the issues, and dedicate our efforts wholeheartedly to the breed

This study was executed to estimate the impacts of increasing dietary standardized ileal digestible (SID) lysine and net energy levels on growth, nutrient absorption, and meat carcass traits in growing-finishing pigs. In total, 90 pigs [(Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc] were erratically dispensed to 3 treatments (6 replicate/treatment) with 5 pigs (3 barrows and 2 gilts) per pen, and their average primary body weight was 20.51± 0.02 kg. The trial period was 16 weeks (growing stage, initial to week 8; finishing stage, week 8 to week 16). The dietary treatments used included control (CON) as the basal diet, TRT1 (basal diet + 0.05% SID lysine), and TRT2 (basal diet + 0.05% SID lysine + 0.084 MJ/kg net energy) for both the growing and finishing stages. Both the TRT1 and TRT2 group diets improved (p = 0.033) average daily gain (ADG) at week 12 and tended to enhance (p = 0.088) body weight at week 12 and ADG at the overall period compared to the CON group. Moreover, pigs in the TRT2 group had higher backfat thickness (p = 0.034) at week 12 in comparison to the TRT1 and CON diets. Nevertheless, no treatment effect was found (p > 0.05) in nutrient absorption or carcass grade among the dietary treatments. Hence, incorporating the increasing level of 0.05% SID lysine and 0.084 MJ/kg net energy into the pig diet during the growing and finishing stages can be considered a suitable approach for enhancing both growth efficiency and carcass backfat thickness in pigs.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of mono- and multi-strain LAB probiotics on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood profiles, fecal noxious gas emission, intestinal microbiota and intestinal morphology of weaning pigs challenged with or without Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Salmonella enterica (SE). In Exp. 1, a total of 60 crossbred weaning pigs were randomly allotted to one of five dietary treatments. The dietary treatments included: NC (negative control; basal diet with no supplement), PC (positive control; basal diet with 0.01% Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (LP) containing 1.0 × 108 CFU/g), K (basal diet with 0.1% Pediococcus acidilactici K (K) containing 1.0 × 109 CFU/g), WK1 (basal diet with 0.1% Pediococcus pentosaceus SMFM2016-WK1 (WK1) containing 1.0 × 109 CFU/g), K-WK1 (basal diet with 0.05% K + 0.05% WK1 containing 1.0 × 109 CFU/g). The average daily gain (ADG) was higher in the K group than in the WK1 group. Diarrhea score was lower in the K-WK1 group than in the NC group. At the genus level, Roseburia abundance in WK1 was higher than in the other treatment groups. At the species level, Blautia wexlerae abundance was lower in WK1 than in the other groups, whereas Succinivibrio dextrinosolvens abundance was higher in WK1. The serum pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in the PC and WK1 groups were as low as those in the NC group. Experiment 2 was conducted with two trials in a 2 × 5 factorial arrangement of treatments consisting of two levels of challenge (challenge and non-challenge) with E. coli and SE and five levels of probiotics same as Exp.1. Supplementation with LP and WK1 resulted in higher ADG and lower diarrhea scores than those in the other groups. Consequently, supplementation of WK1 showed a particularly positive effect on growth performance and diarrhea, villus height and intestinal microbiota in oral challenge experiment and feeding trial. Therefore, WK1 might be the most effective among the probiotics used in this experiment.

Earwax, a semi-liquid 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. A factorial arrangement was used to determine the effects of solvent source (methyl alcohol, MA; diethyl ether, DE) and assay diluent buffer (ADB) (0 and 1 mL) on earwax cortisol concentration (ECC) in Hanwoo cattle (parity 3, body weight = 462 ± 5.6 kg). A 25 mg portion of the earwax sample was suspended in ADB, while another 25 mg portion was not suspended prior to extraction with MA and DE. ECC was measured using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay cortisol kit. The results indicated that cortisol can be extracted from earwax with or without ADB. The extraction yield of cortisol from earwax was higher with MA than with DE (p < 0.05). In conclusion, MA is the preferred solvent for cortisol extraction owing to its high extraction yield, simple extraction process, and relatively low solvent consumption. Moreover, earwax can be used as a biomarker to evaluate the degree of chronic stress in Hanwoo cattle.
