Abstract

This study was conducted to compare among bull, steer and heifer on growth performance, blood composition and carcass traits according to fattening phase in Hanwoo. 12 month of aged 4 bulls ($339.8{\pm}18.5kg$), 4 steers ($309.8{\pm}13.2kg$), and 3 heifers ($290.0{\pm}16.7kg$) were allocated in the stalls with individual feeding system during 20 months. Average daily gain was not different among the treatment groups during early fattening phase, but higher in the bulls and lower in the heifers after mid-fattening phase (p<0.05). The difference of body size by animal groups appeared from 24 month of age, and wither height and body length of Hanwoo heifer were the smallest (p<0.05) among treatment group. But wither height was not difference among treatment groups at 32 month of age. At 12 month of age, concentrations of serum cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose and total protein were higher in the heifers compared to other groups, and serum GPT (Glutamic pyruvic transaminase) was the highest (p<0.05) in the bulls, and serum GOT (Glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase) was the highest (p<0.05) at late fattening phase in the bulls. Meat yield index was similar between the bulls and the heifers, and the lowest (p<0.05) in the steers. Marbling score was significantly higher (p<0.05) in the steers and the heifers than in the bulls, and meat quality was the best in the steers among treatment groups. The results of this experiment might be used as a basal data on difference between gender in revision of Korean feeding standard for Hanwoo.

본 연구는 한우의 성별 발육성적, 혈액성상 및 도체특성을 비교하고자 수행되었다. 처리구는 12개월령 한우 수소구(4두, 체중 $339.8{\pm}18.5kg$), 거세우구(4두, 체중 $309.8{\pm}13.2kg$), 암소구(3두, 체중 $290.0{\pm}16.7kg$)를 개체 사료급여기가 부착된 우사에 배치하여 총 20개월간 시험을 수행하였다. 일당증체량은 비육전기에는 한우 수소, 거세우 및 암소간에 차이가 없었으나 비육중기부터 수소구가 높았으며 암소구가 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). 공시축의 체형차이는 24개월령부터 나타나, 한우 암소는 체고와 체장에서 가장 작았으나(p<0.05), 체고는 32개월령대에서는 처리구간에 차이가 없었다. 12개월령 공시축의 혈액성분 중, cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose 및 total protein함량은 암소구에서 높았으며, GPT 수준은 수소구에서 높았다(p<0.05). 혈청 GOT 수준은 처리구 공히, 비육후기에 높았으며, 수소구에서 가장 높았다(p<0.05). 육량지수는 수소구와 암소구가 비슷한 수준이었으며, 거세우구가 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). 육질평가에서 근내지방도는 거세우구와 암소구가 수소구보다 유의적으로 높았고(p<0.05), 육질등급은 거세우구가 가장 높았다. 본 시험은 한우사양표준 개정에 있어서 성별간 비교를 위한 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
