맥섬석과 한방제재의 첨가급여가 육계의 성장과 육질에 미치는 영향

Effects of Supplementation of Macsumsuk and Herb Resources on Growth Performances and Meat Quality of Broiler Chickens

본 시험은 육계에게 맥섬석 또는 한방제재를 첨가하여 육계의 생산성과 육질에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위하여 브로일러 600수를 공시하여 4처리구당 50수씩${\times}$3반복으로 나누어, 대조구(0%), T1구(맥섬석 0.3%), T2구(한방소재0.3%), T3구(맥섬석0.3%+한방소재0.3%)를 5주 동안 첨가 급여한 결과는 다음과 같다. 총 증체량과 일당증체량은 다른 처리구에 비하여 T2구가 가장 높았고(p<0.05), 폐사율은 대조구(8%)가 처리구보다 크게 높아 통계적인 유의차가 나타났다(p<0.05). 혈중 콜레스테롤은 대조구(111.8 mg/dL)가 처리구(102.5-107.7 mg/dL)보다 더 높았으나, 혈중 IgG는 처리구(5.23-6.71 mg/dL)가 대조구(4.5 mg/dL)보다 더 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 계육의 가열감량과 전단력은 처리구(각각 15.25-16.55%, 1.47-1.55 $kg/cm^2$)가 대조구(17.08%, 1.91 $kg/cm^2$)보다 더 낮았으나, 보수성은 오히려 처리구(55.97-56.01%)가 대조구(54.40%)보다 더 높았다(p<0.05). 가슴육의 콜레스테롤 함량은 대조구에 비하여 처리구(80.81-83.59 mg/100 g)가 더 낮아 통계적인 유의차가 나타났다(p<0.05), 결론적으로 육계에게 맥섬석과 한방제재 참가급여는 계육의 콜레스테롤 함량을 저하시키는 개선의 효과가 있었다.

The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of macsumsuk and herb resources on the performances and meat quality of broiler chickens. Six hundreds (600) broiler chickens were randomly allocated into four groups (4 groups${\times}$50 chickens/group${\times}$3 replica), Control, Treatment 1 (T1; 0.3% macsumsuk), Treatment 2 (T2; 0.3% herb resources), and Treatment 3 (T3; 0.3% macsumsuk + 0.3% herb resources) and fed for 5 wk. T2 group showed higher total body weight gain and average daily gain of 1,812.5 g and 51.79 g, respectively, than the other groups. Control group showed the highest (p<0.05) mortality (8%) and total blood cholesterol (111.8 mg/dL) among experimental groups. T3 group (6.71 mg/dL) showed the highest (p<0.05) while control group (4.50 mg/dL) showed the lowest (p<0.05) in blood IgG levels. Cooking loss was 17.08, 16.14, 16.55, and 15.25%, shear force value was 1.91, 1.52, 1.55, and 1.47 $kg/cm^2$, and water holding capacity (WHC) was 54.40, 55.97, 56.01, and 55.70% for Control, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. Cholesterol contents in breast meat of Control (88.91 mg/100 g) chickens showed the highest (p<0.05) levels comparing to either T1 (83.59 mg/dL), T2 (82.41 mg/dL), or T3 (80.81 mg/dL) chickens. In conclusion, the current study implies that feeding macsumsuk and herb resources to broiler chickens could decrease cholesterol contents in breast meat.
