Abstract

This study was conducted to estimate the effect of sex, breed and on the basis of the records on 300 pigs of Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire breeds raised at the National Institute of Animal Science. Yorkshire was observed to be superior to other breeds between 90 to 110 kg of body weight. Thicker backfat was estimated in the B-mode than in A-mode of 110 kgs range than in 90 kgs. Loin eye muscle area was larger in the final weight of 110kg than in 90 and the Duroc had significantly (p<0.05) larger loin eye muscle area than other breeds. Thinner backfat was observed in males than in females in both modes of backfat measurements and in both of the final weights of test. Females had significantly larger loin eye muscle area than males, and the difference between the two sexes were larger in the final weight of 110 kg than in 90 kg. Analysis models concluded that backfat thickness certainly influences the body weight gain when at 90 kgs and 110 kgs analysed with A-mode and B-mode respectively.

본 연구는 국립축산과학원에서 사육하고 있는 듀록, 랜드레이스, 요크셔 품종 300두의 검정기록 자료를 이용하여 성별, 품종별, 검정종료일령별 효과를 추정하기 위하여 수행하였다. 검정 종료 체중과 측정 mode별 도체 형질의 품종별 차이는 등지방 두께에 있어 종료체중 90 kg시 A-mode, 90 kg시 B-mode 및 110 kg시 B-mode의 세 경우에 있어 A-mode 보다는 B-mode가, 90 kg 종료시 보다는 110 kg 종료시가 더 높은 등지방두께 추정치를 나타내었다. 등심 단면적의 경우는 90 kg인 경우와 110 kg인 경우로 구분하여 측정하였는데, 90 kg 종료시 보다는 110 kg 종료시가 더 높은 등심단면적 추정치를 나타내었고, 품종별로는 Duroc종이 유의적으로 넓었다(P<0.05). 성별의 효과를 살펴보면, 도체 형질에 있어서 등지방 두께는 수컷이 얇았으나, 등심 단면적은 암컷이 더 넓었다. 또한 분석모델에서 공변이로 포함한 모델에서 90 kg시 A-mode 등지방 두께, 110 kg시 B-mode 등지방 두께, 90 kg시 B-mode 등심단면적에서 검정종료일령의 효과가 유의하게 작용하였다. 향후 국가 단위 개량체계가 확립되면 농장검정을 통한 도체 형질에 대한 정확한 육종가 추정을 위해서 측정장비의 개선과 측정 요원의 훈련을 통한 정확한 측정이 우선되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
