Abstract

The safety of animal feed was evaluated by analyzing the levels of heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, As, Se and Ag) in cattle, swine, and poultry feeds and the levels of Cu, Zn and P in swine feed. Feeds used in the analysis were produced in Korea from 2004 through the first half of 2007. The results of the study revealed that, with the exception of Cd, the concentration of heavy metals were much lower than the Minimum Regulation Levels (MRLs). However, the Cd concentration exceeded the MRL in 1 of 987 swine feed samples in 2005, as well as in 4 of 1,239 swine feed samples and 1 of 778 poultry feed samples in 2006. The levels of Cu, Zn and P in swine feed were compared with the swine breeding standard. The results of this analysis revealed that the Cu concentrations in the samples exceeded the MRL for growing pigs by 0.97%, and that for finishing and breeding pigs by 9.9%. In addition, the Cu levels (80.98 ppm for piglet, 44.82 ppm for growing pigs, 19 ppm for finishing and breeding pigs) in swine feed showed higher levels compared to 3.5-6.0 ppm, which is the Cu requirement for swine. Furthermore, the results of the Zn analysis revealed that the samples exceeded the MRL for piglets, growing pigs, and finishing and breeding pigs by 5.7%, 7.7%, and 9.3%, respectively. Finally, the average concentration of P in swine feed was 0.74%, which is almost the same as the phosphate requirement for swine.

가축의 안전한 축산물 생산을 위하여 2004년에서 2007년 상반기까지 국내에서 생산된 배합사료 중 소사료, 돼지사료 및 닭사료의 유해중금속(납, 크롬, 카드뮴, 비소, 셀레늄 및 수은) 및 양돈사료의 구리, 아연, 인 함량을 분석하여 사료의 안전성을 평가하였다. 연도별 배합사료 중 유해중금속을 분석한 결과 카드뮴을 제외한 다른 유해성분은 허용기준보다 매우 낮은 수치를 보였다. 카드뮴은 2005년도 돼지사료 총 987점 중 1점, 2006년도 돼지사료와 닭사료 1,239점과 778점 중 각각 4점과 1점이 허용기준을 초과하였다. 양돈용 배합사료중의 구리, 아연 및 인을 분석하여 양돈사양에 필요한 요구량과 비교하였다. 구리함량을 분석한 결과 육성돈 후기용, 비육돈 및 종돈용 배합사료에 있어서 그 허용기준을 초과하여 검출되는 평균비율은 각각 0.97%와 9.9%로 나타났다. 양돈용 배합사료 내 구리 함량(자돈용 80.98 ppm, 육성돈용 44.82 ppm, 비육돈 및 종돈용 19 ppm)은 양돈사양에 필요한 요구량, 3.5-6.0 ppm보다 훨씬 높은 수준으로 급여하고 있었다. 또 자돈용, 육성돈용 그리고 비육돈 및 종돈용에 있어서 아연 허용기준을 초과하여 검출되는 평균비율은 각각 5.7%, 7.7%, 그리고 9.3%로 나타났다. 양돈사료의 평균 인 함량은 0.74%로 검출되어 사료내의 인 요구량과 비슷하였다.
