“…Similar results were also found in cattle and water buffalo (Hussain and Cheeke, 1996;Mulligan et al, 2002;Shane Gadberry et al, 2005). Although the influence of different diets and CP and ME levels on digestibility and daily gain in other ruminants is well documented (Jewell and Campling, 1986;Huhtanen, 1988;Hussain and Cheeke, 1996;Mulligan et al, 2002;Mani and Chandra, 2003;Silva et al, 2004;Abdelhadi et al, 2005;Shane Gadberry et al, 2005), relevant data in yak are sparse (Long et al, 2004(Long et al, , 2005Dong et al, 2004a,b). Therefore, further study is needed to measure dietary apparent and real digestibility of different CP contents and ME levels and to quantify the maintenance requirement of different diets for growing yak.…”

“…It was famous with its high altitude, unpolluted natural environment and frequent seasonal variation. [6,7] That is why Yak is regarded as the unpolluted animal, its meat is considered as green food, and its skin is believed as a new source of collagen. Zhang et al [8] proved Yak skin glue contains 18 kinds, about 75.41% of amino acids (including seven kinds of essential amino acids), and two kinds of trace elements.…”

This paper dealt with the physicochemical, functional and antioxidative properties of Yak skin gelatins with various molecular weights. The gelatin was extracted by alkaline process, and different molecular weight gelatin was achieved by ultrafiltration with different molecular weight cut membrane. The SDS-PAGE showed the molecular weight of the yak skin gelatin. The UV-Vis absorption turned out that the high molecular weight (HMW) of yak skin gelatin had a higher maximum absorption peaks. The FT-IR indicated the change of gelatin structures with the change of the molecular weight. No matter the HMW or the low molecular weight (LMW), the Yak skin gelatin had a high denaturation temperature (T d ), and it was higher than most of the other mammals and marine biological gelatin. The HMW gelatin had higher imino acids contents and lower oxidation resistance, foamability and emulsibility compared to the LMW gelatin. These findings showed that a certain molecular weight range of Yak skin gelatin has great potential for application as an alternative to commercial gelatin due to its good antioxidative, foamability emulsibility and thermotolerance.ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Different soils contain a great diversity of fungal species, whose spatial distribution results from many factors, such as plant diversity, soil properties, land use and dispersal, and climate [4,5]. Soil fungal community structures, in turn, directly affect the properties and fertility of soil, thereby influencing the growth of plants; the soil microbial population and abundance is thus positively correlated with soil fertility and plant growth status [6][7][8]. Hence, it has practical significance to investigate the distribution characteristics of soil microbiota, in which fungi take up an important position.…”

The polymorphisms of soil fungal rDNA Internal Transcribed Spacer regions were studied in Korean pine forests of various ages (10-100-year-old trees) by means of cloned libraries, and analyzed to determine the effects of the trees' developmental stage on soil fungal community structure. The obtained Shannon diversity index (H) and richness (S) indicated that the diversity of the soil fungal community increased significantly with the development of Korean pines (P \ 0.05). In addition, cluster analysis (UPGMA) showed that the soil fungal community variety associated with differently aged Korean pines was higher than 50 %. The soil fungal community diversity correlated significantly with the N content and C/N ratio of the soil (P \ 0.05). The results of this study indicate that the age of in Korean pine can affect soil fungal community by altering soil properties, which in turn could affect the nutrient cycling in the forest ecosystem.
