Survey on the Effect of the Herd Size on Reproductive Traits of Korean Native Cows

사육규모에 따른 한우 번식 실태 조사

A survey was carried out to investigate the effect of the herd size on the reproductive traits of Hanwoo(Korean native cows). Data on the reproductive traits of 670 Korean native cows were collected from January, 1996 to December, 1997 and analyzed by the herd size. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The average ages at first breeding were 437.9, 425.5 and 452.9 days in herd size 1 (less than 20 heads), 2 (21∼50 heads) and 3 (more than 51 heads), respectively (the over all average was 443.0 days). However, there was no significant difference between herd sizes (p＞0.05). 2. The average ages at first conception were 452.8, 438.4 and 467.1 days in herd size 1, 2 and 3, respectively (the over all average was 460.0 days). However, there was no significant difference between herd sizes (p＞0.05). 3. The average ages at first calving were 741.2, 730.2 and 755.9 days in herd size 1, 2 and 3, respectively (the over all average was 746.6 days). However, there was no significant difference between herd sizes (p＞0.05). 4. The average days to first estrus after calving was 70.1 days and it was shortest in herd size 3 (64.8 days) and longest in herd size 1(82.1 days). 5. The average numbers of services per conception were 1.54, 1.61 and 1.48 in herd size 1, 2, and 3, respectively (the over all average was 1.53). However, there was no significant difference between herd sizes (p＞0.05). 6. The average days to first conception after calving were 115.6, 99.1 and 80.6 days in herd size 1, 2 and 3, respectively (the over all average was 91.2 days). There was a trend that it was shorter as the herd size increased(p＜0.05). 7. The average length of calving interval was 375.3 days and it was shortest in herd size 3 (367. 4 days) and longest in herd size 1 (389.5 days).

본 조사 연구는 사육규모에 따른 한우 번식우의 초종부, 초임 및 초산일령과 분만 후 발정재귀일수, 수태당 종부회수, 분만 후 수태일수, 분만간격 등을 검토하기 위하여 1996년 1월부터 1997년 12월까지 20농가에서 사육중인 한우 성빈우 670두를 대상으로 조사를 수행하였다. 1. 사육규모에 따른 한우 미경산우의 초종부일령은 평균 443.0일이었고 사육규모별로는 1규모, 2규모 및 3규모가 각각 437.9일, 425.5일 및 452.9일로 사육규모간에 유의적인 차이는 인정되지 않았다 (p＞0.05). 2. 사육규모에 따른 한우 미경산우의 초임일령은 평균 460.0일이었고 사육규모별로는 1규모, 2규모 및 3규모가 각각 452.8일, 438.4일 및 467.1일로 사육규모간에 유의적인 차이는 인정되지 않았다(p＞0.05). 3. 사육규모에 따른 한우 미경산우의 초산일령은 평균 746.6일이었고 사육규모별로는 1규모, 2규모 및 3규모가 각각 741.2일, 730.2일 및 755.9일로 사육규모간에 유의적인 차이는 인정되지 않았다(p＞0.05). 4. 사육규모에 따른 분만후 발정재귀일수는 평균 70.1일이었고 사육규모별로는 l규모, 2규모 및 3규모가 각각 82.1일, 74.1일 및 64.8일로 3규모가 가장 짧았고 1규모가 가장 긴 경향을 나타내었다(p＜0.05). 5. 사육규모에 따른 수태당 종부회수는 평균 1.53회였고 사육규모별로는 1규모, 2규모 및 3규모가 각각 1.54회, 1.61회 및 1.48회로 사육규모간에 유의적인 차이는 인정되지 않았다 (p＞0.05). 6. 사육규모에 따른 분만 후 수태일수는 평균 91.2일이었고 사육규모별로는 1규모, 2규모 및 3규모가 각각 115.6일, 99.1일 및 80.6일로 규모가 증가함에 따라 짧아지는 경향을 나타내었다 (p＜0.05). 7. 사육규모에 따른 분만간격은 평균 375.3일이었으며, 사육규모별로는 1규모, 2규모 및 3규모가 각각 389.5일, 383.0일 및 367.4일로 3규모가 가장 짧았고 1규모가 가장 긴 경향을 나타내었다 (p<0.05).
