Abstract

The objective of this study were to investigate the effects of Se and Vit. E administration at last month or two month before parturition on the reproductive function of dams and developmental ability of calves. On developmental ability of calves obtained afier Se and Vit. E administration at the last month of pregnancing periods, the birth weight were significantly higher in administration groups than in control group(P<0.05). However, the weaning weight, average daily gain and weaning age were not significantly difference in all experimental groups. In the comparision of reproductive function in dams, estrus postpartum was faster in treatment groups than control groups(P>0.05). However, the number of A.1 service fur conception were lower groups injected than control group(P>0.05), there were not significantly differences in all experimental groups. The developmental ability of calves obtained after Se and Vit. E administration at two months before parturition were also examined. The birth weight, weaning weight, average daily gain and weaning age were higher in treatment groups than control group, but there were not significantly differences in all experimental groups. In reproductive function of dams, the days to 1 st estrus postpartum was slightly faster injected groups than control group(P>0.05). Number of A.I. service for conception in each groups were lower in treatment groups than control group.

본 실험은 한우 종빈우의 임신말기에 Se과 Vit. E 투여가 종빈우의 번식기능에 미치는 요인과 종빈우에서 태어난 송아지의 발육능력을 조사하였다. 1 분만 1개월전 Se과 Vit. E을 투여한 구에서 송아지의 발육성적을 조사한 결과, 생시체중은 각각 23.33, 24.00, 24.00, 24.50, 24.00 및 25.60kg으로서 처리구가 대조구보다 다소 높은 성적을 나타냈다. 또한 이유시 체중과 일당증체량도 투여구가 대조구보다 다소 높은 성적을 나타냈으며, 이유시 일령은 투여구가 대조구보다 이유시 일령이 다소 적었으나 처리구간 유의적인 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). 2. 종빈우의 번식능력을 조사한 결과, 분만 후 초발정과 인공수정 휫수는 투여구가 대조구보다 초발정이 빨리 도래하였고, 수태당 인공수정 휫수도 적었으나 처리구간 유의적인 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). 3. Se과 Vit. E를 분만 2개월전에 4회 투여한 한우 종빈우에서 태어난 송아지의 생시체중, 이유시 체중 및 일당증체량은 투여구가 대조구보다 높은 성적을 나타냈으며, 이유시 일령은 투여구가 대조구보다 이유시 일령이 짧았으나 처리구간 유의적인 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). 4. 한우 종빈우의 번식능력을 조사한 결과, 분만 후 초발정은 유의적인 차이는 없었으며(P> 0.05), 수태 당 인공수정 횟수는 각각 2.00, 1.63, 1.25, 1.50, 1.33 및 1.46회로서 투여구가 대조구보다 인공수정 횟수가 적었으나 처리구간 커다란 차이가 없었다(P>0.05).
