Abstract

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of applying three different chemical additives to the litter (rice hull) on broiler performance, ammonia and carbon dioxide gas reduction in a poultry house at 6 weeks. A total of 96 broiler chicks (6 treatments$\times$4 replicates$\times$4 birds) were fed the experimental diets for 6 weeks. The chemical additives were applies as a top dressing to the litter at a rate of 200 g ferrous sulfate $(FeSO_4)$, 200 g aluminum chloride $(AlCl_3)$ + 50 g calcium carbonate $(CaCO_3)$ and 20 g potassium permanganate $(KMnO_4)$ per kg litter, while the control group did not have the three different chemicals added to the litter. There were no significant differences in broiler performance between the three chemical additives and control group. $FeSO_4\;and\;AlCl_3\;+\;CaCO_3$ treatment reduced ammonia production from the litter at 6 weeks by as much as 91 and $53\%$, respectively (P<0.05). $KMnO_4$ treatment decreased ammonia production at 6 weeks up to $69\%$ compared to the controls (P<0.05). Poultry litter amended with $AlCl_3\;+\;CaCO_3\;and\;KMnO_4$ also caused a decrease (P<0.01) in carbon dioxide productions at 6 weeks (59 and $65\%$, respectively). In conclusion, although broiler performance was not affected by the three chemical additives and control group, these results indicate that $FeSO_4,\;AlCl_3\;+\;CaCO_3\;and\;KMnO_4$ application to litter in a poultry house resulted in a significant reduction in atmospheric ammonia and carbon dioxide gas.

본 시험은 깔짚에 3가지 화학제재($FeSO_4,\;AlCl_3\;+\;CaCO_3$ 및 $KMnO_4$)를 처리하였을 때 육계 생산성에 대한 영향과 계사내 암모니아, 이산화탄소 발생량에 대한 6주 동안의 변화와 저감 효과를 규명하기 위해서 수행하였다. 사양시험은 육계 초생추 총 96수(6처리$\times$4반복$\times$4수)를 공시하여 42일 동안 실시하였다. 화학제재는 깔짚 kg당 $FeSO_4$ $\cdot$ $7H_2O$ 200 g, $AlCl_3$ $\cdot$ $6H_2O$ 200 g + $CaCO_3$ 50 g 및 $KMnO_4$ 비율로 top dressing하였으며 대조구는 화학제재를 첨가하지 않았다. 육계 생산성은 화학제재 처리구와 대조구 간에 유의차가 없었다. 그러나 대조구와 비교한 $FeSO_4$와 $AlCl_3$+$CaCO_3$ 처리구의 암모니아 발생량은 6주째에서 각각 $91\%$와 $53\%$가 감소되었고(P<0.05), $KMnO_4$ 처리구의 암모니아 발생량은 대조구보다 6주째에서 $69\%$ 감소되어 통계적 유의차를 보였다(P<0.05). 깔짚에서 생성된 이산화탄소 발생량은 $AlCl_3+CaCO_3$와 $KMnO_4$ 처리구가 대조구와 비교할 때 6주째에서 각각 $59\%$와 $65\%$ 감소되었다(P<0.01). 결론적으로 깔짚에 화학제재를 처리했을 경우 암모니아와 이산화탄소 가스 발생량은 현저하게 감소되며, 육계생산성에는 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
