Abstract
A $2{\times}4$ factorial study was carried out to investigate the interaction of aflatoxin and vitamin $D_3$ in broiler chicks. The day-old 336 chicks were allocated to triplicate 8 treatments. The 0 or 0.5 ppm of aflatoxin $B_1$ (AFB) and 0, 500, 1,000 or 1,500 IU/Kg of vitamin $D_3$ (VD) were supplemented to the basal diet. There were no significant differences among treatments in respect to the body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion, shank color, mortality and incidence of weak legs. The utilization efficiencies of dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, N-free extract and crude ash showed also no significant differences among treatments, respectively. The mean utilization efficiency of crude fiber in AFB group was lower than that in normal groups (P<.01). However, no significant difference was found among groups fed different levels of VD, and no interaction between AFB and VD was found. The utilization efficiency of Ca in AFB group was somewhat higher than that in normal group without statistical significance, and the similar values were found among groups fed different VD. The utilization efficiencies of P and Na were not significantly different among treatments, respectively. The tibia ash appeared to be similar among treatments fed different levels of AFB and VD. However, the Ca content in tibia of birds fed 0.5 ppm of AFB was higher than that of normal chicks (P<.05). The slightly increasing trend was shown in Ca contents when fed increasing revel of VD, and the interaction between AFB and VD was recognized(P<.01). The P content of tibia was increased by feeding AFB(P<.05). However, there was no significant difference among groups fed different level of VD and no interaction between AFB and VD in respect to the P content of tibia. Feeding AFB did not affect the Na content in tibia. However, there was a highly significant difference among groups fed different levels of VD(P<.01), the highest values were at 1,000 IU/Kg group, and the interaction between AFB and VD was not significant. The Ca content in serum of birds fed AFB was higher than in control group (P<.01). The Ca of serum increased when fed more VD, although no significance was found among groups, and there was an interaction between AFB and VD(P<.05). The P content of serum showed no significant difference among treatments. The alkaline phosphatase activity in serum of chicks fed AFB was higher than that of control group (P<.01). The enzyme activity increased slightly with increasing level of VD, however, there was no interaction between AFB and VD.
Alfatoxin과 비타민$D_3$의 상호작용(相互作用)을 구명(究明)하기 위하여 브로이러 병아리 336수(首)를 8구(區)로 나누고 aflatoxin $B_1$을 0 또는 0.5 ppm, 비타민$D_3$를 0, 500, 1,000 또는 1,500 IU/Kg 급여(給與)하는 3주간(週間)의 $2{\times}4$요인시험(要因試驗)을 실시(實施)하였다. 증체량(增體量), 사료섭취량(飼料攝取量), 사료전환율(飼料轉換率), 정강이 색상(色相), 폐사율(斃死率) 및 각약증발생율(脚弱症發生率)에 있어서 각구간(各區間) 유의차(有意差)를 나타내지 않았다. 건물(乾物), 조단백질(粗蛋白質), 조지방(粗脂肪), 가용무질소물(可溶無窒素物) 및 조회분(粗灰分)의 이용율(利用率)에 있어서 각(各) 구간(區間) 유의차(有意差)를 나타내지 않았다. 조섬유(粗纖維)의 이용율(利用率)에 있어서 대조구(對照區)에 비(比)하여 aflatoxin 급여구(給與區)가 매우 낮은 값을 보였다(P<.01). 그러나 비타민$D_3$ 첨가수준간(添加水準間)에는 유의차(有意差)를 나타내지 않았으며 aflatoxin과 비타민$D_3$간(間)의 교호작용(交互作用)도 인정(認定)되지 않았다. Ca, P 및 Na의 이용률(利用率)에 있어서 각(各) 구간(區間) 유의차(有意差)를 보이지 않았으나 aflatoxin 급여구(給與區)의 Ca이용율(利用率)이 무급여구(無給與區)보다 약간 높았다. 탈지건조경골(脫脂乾燥脛骨)의 회분함량(灰分含量)은 각처리간(各處理間) 유의차(有意差)가 없었으나 Ca함량(含量)에 있어서도 aflatoxin 0.5 ppm구(區)에서 무급여구(無給與區)보다 더 많았으며(P<.05), 비타민$D_3$를 더 많이 급여(給與)할수록 조금씩 높게 나타났다. Aflatoxin과 비타민$D_3$가 경골내(脛骨內) Ca을 가속적(加速的)으로 증가(增加)시킨다는 것을 보여 주었다(P<.01). 그리고 P의 함량(含量)에 있어서도 aflatoxin 급여(給與)로 증가(增加)되었다(P<.05). 그러나 비타민$D_3$ 수준간(水準間)에는 유의차(有意差)가 없었으며 2요인간(要因間)의 교호작용(交互作用)도 없었다. Aflatoxin 급여(給與)는 Na함량(含量)에 영향(影響)을 주지 않았으나 비타민$D_3$ 수준간(水準間)에는 유의차(有意差)가 나타나(P<.01) 1,000 IU/Kg수준(水準)이 가장 높게 나타났다. 2요인간(要因間)의 교호작용(交互作用)은 인정(認定)되지 않았다. 혈청중(血淸中)의 Ca농도(濃度)에 있어서 aflatoxin 급여구(給與區)에서 매우 높게 나타났으며(P<.01), 유의성(有意性)은 없었으나 비타민$D_3$ 첨가수준(添加水準)이 높아질때 조금씩 증가(增加)되는 경향(傾向)을 보였다. 2요인간(要因間)의 교호작용(交互作用)이 인정(認定)되었다(P<.05). P의 함량(含量)은 각(各) 처리간(處理間)에 유의차(有意差)가 없었으며 Alkaline Phosphatase 역가(力價)에 있어서 aflatoxin 급여구(給與區)가 높은 값을 보였다(P<.01). 그리고 비타민$D_3$ 수준(水準)이 높아짐에 따라 조금씩 증가(增加)하는 추세(趨勢)를 보였으나 유의차(有意差)는 없었으며 Aflatoxin과 비타민$D_3$간(間)에는 교호작용(交互作用)이 없었다.
