Abstract

Present study was carried out to find out an optimum interval for artificial insemination in aged and poor laying hens, Brown colored, hundred and twenty commercial laying hens at about 530 days old and 20 S. C. W. Leghorn males at 580 days old were adopted Egg production rate during the experiment was 61.6% and number of eggs examined was 2,283. The intervals for the insemination were 2, 4 and 6 days for experimental groups T-1, T-2 and T-3, respectively. Eggs were collected on every 6th day and examined for fertility by candling after 5 days of incubation. Average fertility rates for T-1, T-2 and T-3 groups appeared 87.5, 81.1, and 65.1%, respectively. The fertility of T-3 group was significantly lower than those of T-1 and T-2 groups(P<0.05). The highest fertility rate was obtained on the second day after the insemination for all groups, i. e. 90.7, 84.0 and 71.7% for T-1, T-2 and T-3, respectively. Thereafter, a tendency of gradual decline in fertility was observed. This study suggests that the optimum interval for artificial insemination in aged hens is 2 days. The fertility tended to be improved by repeated injection. For the 2-day interval group, the highest rate (98.2%) was obtained on the 6th insemination.

본시험은 산란노계의 인공수정에 있어서의 적정주정간격을 구명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 580일령 백색레그혼 수탉 20수, 530일령 갈색실용산란계암탉 120수를 공시하였으며, 시험기간중의 평균산란율은 61.6%이었고 공시란은 2,283개이었다. 주정간격 T$_1$ 2일, T$_2$, 4일, T$_3$ 6일의 3개 처리구를 설정하여 혼합정액을 1회 0.03$m\ell$씩 주입하였다. 6일마다 알을 수집, 부화 5일만에 투시검란하였던 바 시험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 전시험기간중의 주정간격별 평균수정율은 T$_1$(2 일) 87.5%, T$_2$(4 일) 81.1%, T$_3$(6 일)65.1%로서 T$_1$과 T$_3$, T$_2$와 T$_3$ 사이에 5% 수준의 유의차가 인정되었다. 주정후의 일별수정율의 평균은 각구 모두 주정 후 제2일이 가장 높아서 T$_1$, 90.7%, T$_2$, 84.0%, T$_3$, 71.7%이었으며, 그 이후는 점진적으로 조금씩 떨어지는 경향을 보였다. 본시험결과를 종합컨대 노산란계에 있어서의 적정주정간격은 2일이라 하겠으며, 전반적으로 주정회수를 거듭함에 따라 수정율이 점증하였는데 2일간격 주정의 경우 최고수준의 수정율(98.2%)에 도달하는 주정회수는 6회차 이었다.
