Abstract

The present study estimated rumen fermentation characteristics and greenhouse gas emissions of different forages. Alfalfa, timothy, tall fescue, Italian ryegrass, and rice straw as the main forage sources for Hanwoo were used in the present study. Crude protein was highest in alfalfa but lowest in rice straw (p<0.05). Ether extract was higher in alfalfa and Italian ryegrass than in the other forages (p<0.05). Crude ash was highest in rice straw but lowest in tall fescue (p<0.05). Neutral detergent fiber was highest in tall fescue but lowest in alfalfa (p<0.05). Acid detergent fiber was highest in Italian ryegrass and rice straw but lowest in alfalfa (p<0.05). In vitro digestibilities of dry matter (DMD) and neutral detergent fiber (NDFD) were highest in timothy but lowest in rice straw (p<0.05). Rumen pH was highest (p<0.05) in alfalfa, while ammonia-N was higher (p<0.05) in alfalfa and Italian ryegrass than in the other forages. Total volatile fatty acid was highest (p<0.05) in timothy, while acetate and propionate were highest (p<0.05) in alfalfa and rice straw, respectively. Acetate to propionate ratio was higher (p<0.05) in alfalfa, timothy, and Italian ryegrass than in rice straw. Rice straw had lowest total gas (mL) (p<0.05) but highest its per DMD and NDFD. Rice straw had higher (p<0.05) CO2 (per DMD and NDFD) compared to alfalfa (per DMD and NDFD), timothy (per DMD and NDFD), tall fescue (per NDFD), and Italian ryegrass (per DMD). Again, rice straw had higher (p<0.05) CH4 (per DMD and NDFD) compared to timothy (per DMD and NDFD) and tall fescue (per NDFD). Therefore, this study indicates that timothy has a higher nutrient digestibility and volatile fatty acid in the rumen leading to a reduction of greenhouse gas emission.

본 연구에서는 국내 한우농가에서 주로 이용하고 있는 국내산 조사료 2종과 수입산 조사료 3종의 영양소 함량, 반추위 내 소화율, 발효특성 및 온실가스 발생량을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 알팔파는 조단백질 함량이 가장 높은 반면, NDF와 ADF 함량은 가장 낮았으며, 온실가스 측면에서 건물과 NDF 소화율 당 CO2 발생량이 낮았다. 한편 티모시는 건물과 NDF 소화율, 반추위 내총 VFA 함량이 가장 높았으며, 온실가스 측면에서 건물과 NDF 소화율 당 CH4 발생량이 가장 낮았다. 이상의 연구결과에서, 국내 한우농가에서 주로 이용하고 있는 조사료 중 사료가치(영양소 함량, 반추위 내 발효특성 및 간접 소화율)와 온실가스 저감 측면에서 티모시가 가장 우수한 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 국내에서 가장 많이 생산되고 있는 조사료인 이탈리안라이그라스와 볏짚의 사료가치 증진과 온실가스 저감을 위한 조사료 가공기술 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
