Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the feeding effects of different additives on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of Holstein steers. Twenty-four Holstein steers, five months of age and 176.6 kg, were randomly allocated to three experimental groups of eight animals each for an 18-month feeding trial. The groups were control (not additive), T1 (fed zinc, vitamin C, and sulfur), and T2 (fed choline and lysine). The average daily gain was no different between the treatment groups during the growing to early fattening period, but it was significantly higher in the T1 group than the T2 group in the late fattening period (p<0.05). The final BW of the T1 group was relatively high in relation to the other groups, but was not significantly different. The additives had no effects on DMI during the experimental period; however, the feed conversion ratio of the T1 group in the late fattening period was significantly lower than that of the T2 group (p<0.05). The results of yield traits, carcass weight, and yield index were similar between groups, but back fat thickness and rib eye area were relatively lower in the T2 group than in the other groups. In terms of quality traits, meat color, texture, and maturity were not significantly different between the three groups. However, marbling score and appearance rate of high quality grade ($1^{++}$, $1^+$, and 1) were higher in the T1 group compared with the T2 group. Thus, the present results suggest that vitamin C, zinc, and sulfur supplementation may improve the growth performance and carcass characteristics of Holstein steers.

본 연구는 육질향상을 위한 여러가지 첨가물질을 홀스타인 거세우의 성장과 도체특성에 미치는 급여효과를 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. 생후 5개월령 평균체중 176.6 kg, 홀스타인 거세우 24두를 3처리 8반복으로 완전 임의 배치하여 사양시험을 수행하였다. 처리구는 대조구(무첨가구), T1 (Vitamin C, 아연 및 유황 급여구) 및 T2 (콜린 및 라이신 급여구)로 배치하였다. 일당증체량은 육성기와 비육전기에서는 처리구별 차이가 없었지만, 비육후기에서는 T1처리구가 T2 처리구보다 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). T1 처리구의 출하체중은 다른 처리구 보다 비교적 높았지만 유의적 차이는 없었다. 첨가제는 시험기간 동안 섭취량에 있어 영향을 주지는 않았지만, 비육후기 T1 처리구의 사료요구율이 T2 처리구 보다 유의적으로 낮았다. 육량특성에 있어 도체중 및 육량지수는 그룹간 비슷한 결과를 나타내었지만, 등지방 두께 및 등심단면적은 다른 처리구에 비해 T2 처리구가 비교적 낮았다. 육질특성에서는 육색, 조직감 및 성숙도는 세 처리구에서 유의적 차이를 나타내지 않았지만, 근내지방도 및 육질1등급 이상 출현율에 있어서 T2 처리구와 비교하여 T1처리구가 높았다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결과 비타민 C, 아연, 유황첨가는 홀스타인 거세우의 성장 및 도체특성을 향상시키는 것으로 생각된다.
