Abstract

This work was carried out to investigate performance and carcass yield of large-type broilers at different stocking densities. Treatments were T1 (9.1 birds/$m^2$), T2 (10.3 birds/$m^2$) and T3 (11.5 birds/$m^2$) by the stocking density. Four hundred eight 1-day-old Arbor Acre broiler chicks were used for six weeks (starter, 0~1 wks; earlier, 1~3 wks; finisher, 3~6 wks) and divided into 3 treatments (4 replications/treatment, 30, 34 or 38 birds/replication). Research indexes were rearing viability ratio, body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, production efficiency factor and carcass ratio. Rearing viability ratio (%) was 89% or more for all treatments and there was no significant difference on weekly rearing viability ratio (%). Body weight of T2 was the greatest and that of T3 was the lowest at 1 weeks old (P<0.05). Body weight gain of T2 was the greatest and that of T3 was the lowest at 0~1 weeks old (P<0.05). However, body weight gain of T3 was the greatest and that of T1 was the lowest at 1~2 weeks old (P<0.05). Body weight gain of T2 was the greatest as 3,031 g among treatments at 0~6 weeks old (P<0.05). Feed intakes of T1, T2 and T3 were 1,417 g, 1,265 g and 1,355 g, respectively, and that of T1 was the greatest among treatments (P<0.05). There was no significant difference on body weight, body weight gain and feed intake. Feed conversion ratio of T1 was the greatest among treatments at 1~2 wks, 3~4 wks and 0~6 wks old (P<0.05). Production efficiency factors of T1, T2 and T3 were 363.5, 388.3 and 358.3, respectively, and there was no significant difference among treatments. Wing meat ratio of T1 was the higher compared to other treatments at the age of 4 wk (P<0.05). There was no significant difference on carcass ratio and partial meat ratio among treatments. Neck meat ratio of T2 was the lowest among treatments (P<0.05). This result may provide the standard data of different stocking densities for large-type broiler and the further research is needed.

본 시험은 세 가지 다른 사육밀도가 대형 육계 수컷의 생산성과 도체수율에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 수행하였다. 처리구는 사육밀도에 따라 T1(9.1수/$m^2$), T2(10.3수/$m^2$) 및 T3(11.5수/$m^2$)로 하였다. 공시계는 1일령 Arbor Acre종 육계 수컷 408수를 선별하여 처리구당 4반복씩, 반복당 각각 30, 34 및 38수씩 나누어 완전임의 배치하였으며, 육계초기(0~1주), 전기(1~3주) 및 후기(3~6주)로 나누어 총 6주 동안 사양시험을 실시하였다. 조사항목으로 생존율, 체중, 증체량, 사료 섭취량, 사료 요구율, 생산지수 및 도체수율을 조사하였다. 6주 동안의 육성률은 세 처리구 모두 89% 이상으로 높게 나타났으며, 처리구간 차이가 없었다. 1주령의 체중은 T2에서 가장 높았으며, T3에서 가장 낮았다(P<0.05). 0~1주령의 증체량은 T2에서 가장 높았으며, T3에서 가장 낮았다(P<0.05). 그러나 1~2주령의 증체량은 T3에서 가장 높았으며, T1에서 가장 낮았다(P<0.05). 0~6주령까지의 전체 증체량은 T2처리구가 3,031 g으로 가장 높았다(P<0.05). 사료 섭취량은 3~4주령에 T1, T2 및 T3에서 각각 1,417 g, 1,265 g 및 1,355 g으로 T1에서 가장 높았다(P<0.05). 2주령부터 6주령까지의 체중, 증체량, 사료 섭취량은 처리구 사이에서 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 사료 요구율은 1~2주령, 3~4주령 및 0~6주령에 T1에서 가장 높았다(P<0.05). T1, T2 및 T3의 생산지수는 각각 363.5, 388.3, 358.3으로 처리구 사이에 유의적인 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 4주령 육계의 도체수율과 대부분의 부분육(다리, 가슴, 등, 목) 비율은 처리구간 차이가 없었으나, 날개 부위의 비율은 T1의 비율이 가장 높았다(P<0.05). 5주령 육계의 도체수율과 부분육(날개, 다리, 가슴, 등, 목) 비율은 처리구간 유의차가 없었다. 6주령 육계의 도체수율은 목 부분의 비율이 T2에서 가장 낮게 나타났으며(P<0.05), T1과 T3사이에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 본 시험은 대형 육계를 위한 다양한 사육밀도를 기초 자료로 제공하였으며 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.
