A Study on Improvement of Dual Purpose Breeder Stocks - Selection of Superior Fowl by Means of Cross Breeding -

겸용종계 개량에 관한 연구 - 우량 교배조합선발시험 -

This study was carried out to select superior dual purpose hens which could spread to poultry farming for subsidiary work and general farmhouse. Three hundred and fifty chicks of 7 kinds of 2-way crossbred from mating of Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire and Australorps were tested for dual purpose performance. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The average viability of brooding, rearing and laying Period hen were 92.3% 98.3% and 93.1% respectively. There was significant difference at 1% level among crossbreds for brooding viability, but other viabilitys were no significant difference. 2. The average body weight of 8 weeks was 854.41g, but there was no significant difference among crossbreds, respectively. Average body weight at 300 days, 500 days were 2507.15g, 2632.25g respectively, but there was significant difference at 1% level among crossbreds. 3. Sexual maturity of individual and 50% egg production were 173.7 days and 199.4 days, respectively. There was significant difference at 5% level among crossbreds. 4. The average hen day egg production was 65.3% and the highest was R.N crossbred (70.5%). There was significant difference at 5% level among crossbreds and average hen housed egg Production was 20.2 eggs and the highest was 220.4 eggs in R.A. crossbred. 5. The average egg weight was 57.36g and the highest was A.N crossbred (58.3g). Therc was no significant difference among crossbreds. 6. The average feed consumption per hen per day by stag. was 42.9g (brooding period), 83.7g (rearing period), 131.1g (laying period). Average feed requirement per 1kg. egg production was 3.79 and th. R.A. crossbred was superiority (3.42). 7. On the basis of the results of this study, the R.A and R.N crossbreds were best for superior dual commercial chicks under farming management conditions.

본시험은 부업양계가나 일반농가에 음급할 우량 겸용계를 작출하기 위하여 시행하였다. 공시품종은 유색겸용종 3개품종을 가지고 교배한 이원교배종 7개교배조합의 시험구 350수를 공시하여 다음과 같은 성적을 얻었다. 1 육추율, 육성율, 성계생존율은 각각 92.3%, 98.3%, 93.1%였으며 육추율은 교배조합간 1% 수준에서 유의성이 인정되었고 육성율 및 성계존재율간에는 유의성이 인정되지 않았다. 2. 8주령체중은 전체평균이 854.41g 교배조합간에는 유의차가 없었으며 300일령 및 500령시의 전체균체중은 2,507.15g과 2,632.25g으로 교배조합간에는 1% 수준에서 유의성이 인정되였다. 3 시산 및 성성숙일령은 각각 173.7일 199.4일 이었고 성성숙일령은 교배조합간에 5% 수준에서 유의성이 인정되었다. 4. 전체평균산란율은 65.3%이였고 가장 높은 교배구는 R.N구로 70.5%였으며 교배조합간에는 5% 수준에서 유의성이 인정되었다. 500일령의 산난지수전체평균은 202.2개로 가장 높은 교배조합구는 R.N구로 220.4개였다. 5. 전체평균난중은 57.36g으로 가장 높은 교배조합구가 A. N구로 58.3g였으며 교배조합간에는 유의차가 인정되지 않았다. 6. 1일 평균사료섭취양은 유추기평균이 42.1g, 육성기평균이 83.7g, 산난기평균이 131.1g였고 사료요구율은 전체평균이 3.79로서 R.A교배조합구가 3.42로서 가장 우수하였다. 7. 이상의 결과로 보아 R.A와 R.N 교잡종이 부업양계가 및 일반농가사육용으로 가장 적합하리라 생각된다.
