Abstract
To develop a diet for Hanwoo steers during the late fattening phase, three different feeding treatments were investigated: a group fed concentrate and rice straw separately (Formula feed), a group fed TMR during the whole late fattening period (TMR), and a group fed TMR plus concentrate (Formula-TMR). Thirty Hanwoo steers 20 months of age (average body weight = 445 kg) were allotted by a completely randomized design into three treatment groups (ten steers in each group). The impact of these treatments on the performance, carcass traits, and blood composition related to body fat synthesis was assessed. The average dry matter and TDN intake were greater in Formula-TMR compared to other treatments (p<0.05); however, body gain, carcass weight, meat production index, and fat color were not affected by dietary type. Blood characteristics, such as concentrations of retinol, insulin, and leptin were not affected by any of the treatments; however the marbling score of the longisimus muscle was significantly higher in Formula-TMR (p<0.05), which was relatively high in blood leptin concentration. The muscle texture, meat quantity index, and meat quality index were highest in the Formula feed, TMR, and Formula-TMR, respectively (p<0.05).
본 연구는 한우 비육후기사료 개발을 위하여 사료의 급여형태를 달리하였을 때, 사양성적, 도체특성 및 지방합성과 관련된 혈액 중 성분들의 변화를 구명하고자 수행되었다. 평균체중 445 kg 되는 20개월령 한우 거세우 30두를 이용하여 30개월령까지 사양시험을 실시하였다. 처리구는 농후사료와 조사료를 분리급여한 구(Formula feed), TMR 급여구, 그리고 TMR에 배합사료를 추가 급여한 혼합구 (Formula-TMR)로 나누어 각 처리구당 10두씩 완전 임의배치 하였다. 전 시험기간 동안 평균 건물 및 TDN 섭취량은 혼합구에서 가장 많았으나 (p<0.05), 증체량, 도체중, 육량지수, 지방색은 처리간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 혈액 중 retinol, insulin 및 leptin의 함량은 처리에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었고, leptin 함량이 상대적으로 높았던 혼합구의 근내지방도가 유의적으로 높게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 배최장근의 조직감, 육량등급 및 육질등급은 분리급여구, TMR구 및 혼합구에서 각각 가장 높았다 (p<0.05).
