Abstract

To increase IgY in egg yolks, hens were fed a feed supplemented with kelp meal $4\%$ cinnamon $0.3\%$ and mint $2\%$ respectively, and immunized 5 times with Streptococcus mutans(S. mutans) at 2 week intervals. Groups fed experimental feeds without immunization showed higher laying rate than the control group, without supplementary feed and immunization. After the immunization, the laying rates had been decreasing due to the stress of immunization. The laying rate was recovered after the termination of immunization. Egg weight was not affected by the immunization but diets. Feed intake was dependent on the laying rate. Total IgY concentration in eggs laid from hens fed feeds containing supplementary feeds was higher than that of control. Especially, total IgY was increased up to $7.9\%$ in eggs laid from hens fed feeds supplemented with $4\%$ of kelp meal. Anti-S. mutans IgY was detected at 4 weeks after first immunization. Activity of anti-S. mutans IgY was sustained at 5 week after the final immunization. As the average concentration of specific IgY during the experimental period showed that eggs from hens fed the feed containing $4\%$ of kelp meal increased the specific IgY by $8.5\%$ kelp meal supplement improved specific IgY production by immunization.

난황 항체 강화를 위하여 켈프밀 $4\%$ 처리구와 계피 $0.3\%$와 박하 $2\%$가 첨가된 특수사료를 급여하고 Streptococcus mutans를 2주 간격의 5회 면역처리를 복합적으로 실시하면서 40주령 산란계를 사양하였다. 면역처리를 하지 않은 처리군에서는 박하 첨가군의 산란율이 높았다. 면역한 후에 발생되는 산란율 저하는 대조구와 계피 첨가군에서 적게 나타났다. 계란의 무게는 면역처리에 따른 효과가 나타나지 않았으나 사료에 따라 차이가 나타났다. 면역처리를 하지 않은 처리구에서 계피, 박하, 켈프밀 모두 총 IgY 함량이 대조구보다 높게 나왔으며, 특히 켈프밀의 경우 대조구에 비해 $5.4\%$ 가량 상승하였다. 면역 한 처리구끼리 각각 비교하여 보면 대조구에 비해서 다른 처리구에서 모두 높았으며, 특히 켈프밀 처리구가 월등히 높아 대조구에 비해 $7.9\%$ 정도의 상승이 있었다. S. mutans로 면역처리된 닭으로부터 얻은 계란에서의 충치균에 대한 특이(specific) 총 IgY 함량을 분석한 결과, 항충치균 IgY는 1차 면역하고 4주정도 후에 나타나기 시작하였다. 마지막 immunization후 5주 이상 경과하더라도 specific IgY의 양이 상당히 높은 수준을 유지하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 총 실험기간 동안의 specific IgY 함량의 평균을 보면 켈프밀 처리구는 다른 식이에서 보다 훨씬 높은 specific IgY 역가 보여주었고 대조구에 비해 특이 항체가 약 $8.5\%$ 가량 증가되어 켈프밀의 첨가는 면역처리를 통한 특수 IgY 생산에 효과적임을 나타내었다
