    최양호 (Yang-Ho CHOI)

    Professor, Division of Animal Science, Gyeongsang National University

    • - PhD and MSc: Nagoya university
    • - BSc: Gyeongsang National University
    • Research Interests
    • - Professor Choi's research interests include: First, the effect of feed ingredients on the quantitative and qualitative productivity of poultry. Second, how to improve egg and meat quality in poultry. Third, how to reduce stress in particular, high temperature stress, in poultry. To study these topics, various methods are used such as proteomic, genomic and metagenomic analyses.

    허정민 (Heo, Jung Min)
    (충남대학교 동물자원과학부 교수, 농학박사)

    • - 2003년2003년 충남대학교 축산학과 졸업
    • - 2005년2005년 충남대학교 농학석사
    • - 2012년2010년 머독대학교 동물영양학 박사

    허정민 교수는 2003년 충남대학교에서 축산학사를 마쳤고, 2005년 동 대학교에서 농학석사를 취득하였다. 박사학위는 2010년 호주 머독대학교에서 취득하였으며, 학위논문의 주제는 “저수준 단백질을 이용한 이유자돈 설사 예방” 이었다. 이후, 캐나다 마니토바 대학교에서 3년간 (2010-2013) 박사후과정을 수행하였다. 이 과정 중 이유자돈 부터 육성돈 까지 영양과 장내 건강 간의 상관관계 구명에 관한 연구를 수행했다. 2013년에는 모교인 충남대학교 동물자원과학부에서 교수로 취임하였고, 2022부터는 충남대학교 교무부처장으로서도 역할을 하고 있다.



    현재 주요 연구분야는 가금의 영양과 소화 생리이며, 이를 기반으로 가금 사료와 사양에서 영양적 요소와 환경적 요소를 조절하여 항생제를 대체하고자 하는 연구를 수행하고 있다. 아울러, 토종닭의 영양과 사양표준 등에 관한 연구도 수행중이다. 허정민 교수는 2023년 한국가금학회 편집위원장으로 활동하고 있다.




    Dr. Heo obtained a Bachelor of Science (Animal Science) degree in 2003 and a Master’s in 2005, both from Chungnam National University, and a Ph.D. in 2010 from Murdoch University. His Ph.D. project investigated the Reducing the protein content in diets for weaner pigs to control post-weaning diarrhoea: physiological and metabolic responses of the gastrointestinal tract. Following this, Dr. Heo undertook post-doctoral studies in the Department of Animal Science at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada (2011-2013) where he worked on nutrition/gut health interactions in weaner to grower pigs. Dr. Heo returned to Chungnam National University in South Korea in 2013, and is currently a Professor in the Department of Animal Science and Biotechnology, and Vice-Dean of Academic Affairs.



    Other major research interests presently are the nutrition and digestive physiology of chickens including broilers, laying hens and Korean native chickens. Other research interests encompass alternatives to antimicrobials in poultry diets, role of nutrition and the environment in modifying immune function and the gastrointestinal microbiota, feedstuff evaluation, and controlling enteric diseases in poultry without antimicrobials. Dr. Heo has been acting as the Editor-in-Chief of the Korean Journal of Poultry Science from 2023.
