Abstract

The present study was performed to investigate the effects of pre- and post-weaning feeding programs on growth of pigs. A total of 24 litters (avg. 10.6 piglets/litter) born from multiparous (Yorkshire ${\times}$ Landrace) dams ${\times}$ Duroc sires were provided with neither creep feed (CF) nor milk replacer ("CON"), 200 gm CF/litter/d from the 15th day of lactation ("MIN"), or CF and milk replacer ad libitum for 7 h during the daytime from the 7th day ("MAX") through weaning at d 21 of age. Sixty-eight weanling pigs selected randomly from each of CON and MIN were provided with phases 1, 2 and 3 nursery diets for 7, 14, and 13 days, respectively, in two pens; an equal number of piglets from MAX received the same diets for 6, 10, and 18 days, respectively. Subsequently, all pigs were fed grower 1 and 2 diets sequentially up to d 95 and 135, respectively. The entire pre- and post-weaning feeding trial was repeated three times under a split-plot design of experiment. Initial and final weights and ADG of the suckling pigs did not differ between MAX/MIN and CON. However, final wt of MAX adjusted for initial wt, which was 0.17-kg less in MAX than in CON, was greater than that of CON by 0.31kg, whereas the difference between MIN and CON in final wt barely changed after the adjustment. Growth of the animals during the nursery and growing phases was not affected by the feeding program, whereas d 55 and 135 BW, as well as d 6 BW, were highly correlated with weaning weight (r=0.81, 0.57, and 0.76; P<0.001, <0.05, and <0.001, respectively). In conclusion, results suggest that provision of creep feed and milk replacer from early lactation may be effective for increasing weight gain of light piglets, but that limited provision of creep feed during late lactation or extension of the duration of phases 1 and 2 vs. 3 nursery diets for several days is unlikely to influence the growth of pigs during the corresponding and subsequent periods.

본 연구는 이유 전과 후 돼지 사양프로그램이 성장에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 다산차(Yorkshire ${\times}$ Landrace) 모돈과 Duroc 웅돈 사이에서 태어난 총 24복(평균 10.6자돈/복)의 돼지를 3구로 나누어 포유기간 중에 "대조구"는 21일령 이유시까지 대용유와 입붙이 사료를 급여하지 않았고, "최소구"는 포유기 15일째부터 입붙이 사료를 200 gm/복/일 급여했으며, "최대구"는 7일째부터 주간에 7시간 동안 대용유와 입붙이 사료를 무제한으로 급여하였다. 대조구와 최소구로부터 이유된 돼지 중에서 실험구당 68두씩 임의로 선발된 돼지는 각각 2돈방에 수용하고 이유자돈 1, 2 및 3호 사료를 각각 7, 14 및 13일간 급여하였고, 최대구로부터 이유된 같은 수의 자돈에게는 1, 2 및 3단계 사료를 6, 10 및 18일간 급여하였다. 이후에는 모든 실험구에 육성돈 전 후기 사료를 차례로 95 및 135일령까지 급여하였다. 이상의 이유 전과 이유 후전 과정 사양시험은 분할법(split plot) 실험설계 하에 3차례 반복되었다. 포유자돈의 개시체중, 종료체중 및 일당증체량은 최대구와 최소구 대비 대조구 간에 차이가 없었다. 그러나 개시체중은 대조구에 비해 최대구가 0.17 kg 작았지만 개시체중에 보정된 최대구의 종료체중은 대조구에 비해 0.31 kg 컸던 반면 최소구와 대조구 간의 차이는 보정 후에도 거의 변하지 않았다. 자돈기 및 육성기 돼지 성장은 사양프로그램의 영향을 받지 않은 반면 55일령과 135일령 및 6일령 체중은 이유체중과 높은 상관관계가 있었다(각각 r=0.81, 0.57 및 0.76; P<0.001, 0.05 및 0.001). 결론적으로 본 결과는 포유기 초기부터 대용유와 입붙이 사료를 급여하면 체중이 낮은 자돈에 증체 효과가 있을 것이나 포유기 후기에 입붙이 사료를 제한적으로 급여하거나 1, 2단계 자돈사료 급여기간을 수일 연장해서는 자돈기 및 그 이후의 돼지 성장에 영향을 미치지 않을 것임을 시사한다.
