Abstract

This study was conducted to confirm the growth performance of Hanwoo steers according to the crude protein and calcium levels and their effects on carcass characteristics. The experiment consisted of a total of 4 groups: HPHC (CP 15%, Ca 1.2%), HPLC (CP 15%, Ca 0.6%), LPHC (CP 12.5%, Ca 1.2%), LPLC (CP 12.5%, Ca 0.6%). In the feeding trial, Hanwoo steers (650.8±16.27 kg, n = 32, 24 months of age) were divided into four feeding groups (n = 8 each) with the same initial body weight. Animals were fed with each rice straw and concentrate (1:9) until the late fattening stage. Growth performance was measured by daily weight gain, feed conversion rate, and final weight. Carcass characteristics were measured carcass weight, loin area, back-fat thickness and marbling score. There was no significant difference in growth performance and carcass characteristics among the treatment groups. However, the ratio of meat quality grade 1+ or higher was 76% in LPLC, which was higher than other treatments (HPHC, 63%; HPLC, 63% and LPHC, 50%). Therefore, reducing crude protein in the feed did not affect growth and carcass characteristics. In addition, calcium control in the late fattening stage did not affect growth performance. In LPLC, the ratio of meat quality 1+ or higher was the highest, so additional research on calcium control in feed is thought to be necessary. However, there was no significant difference in the relationship between protein and calcium levels in feed in all study results, so the influence of the two factors on each other is thought to be low.

본 연구는 사료 내 조단백질 및 칼슘 수준이 한우 거세우의 성장성적 및 도체특성에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 수행되었다. 실험은 CP 2수준과 칼슘 2수준을 2×2 완전요인설계법에 따라 총 4개의 실험구로 구성하였다: HPHC (CP 15%, Ca 1.2%), HPLC (CP 15%, Ca 0.6%), LPHC (CP 12.5%, Ca 1.2%), LPLC (CP 12.5%, Ca 0.6%). 실험동물은 24개월령 한우 거세우(650.8±16.27 kg)를 실험구별 8두씩(총 32두) 공시하여 28개월령 출하 시까지 진행되었다. 실험동물은 개시체중에서 실험구간 차이가 없도록 배치되었으며 사료는 볏짚과 배합 사료를 1:9 비율로 급여하였다. 성장성적에서는 일당증체량, 사료 요구율, 종료체중을 측정하였고, 도체특성에서는 도체중, 등심 단면적, 등지방 두께, 육량 등급, 근내지방도 및 육질 등급을 확인하였다. 성장성적은 일당증체량, 사료 요구율 및 종료체중에서 실험구간 유의적 차이가 없었다. 도체특성의 도체중, 등심 단면적, 등지방 두께 및 근내지방도에서도 실험구간 유의적 차이가 없었으나, 육질 등급은 LPLC에서 1+ 등급 이상 비율이 76%로 다른 실험구(HPHC, 63%; HPLC, 63% 및 LPHC, 50%)보다 높은 결과를 보였다. 따라서, 사료 내 조단백질을 낮추어도 성장 및 도체특성에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 비육후기 거세한우의 칼슘 조절이 성장성적에 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 혈액 내 인의 함량에서 차이를 나타냈다. LPLC에서 육질 1+ 이상의 비율이 가장 높게 나타나, 사료 내 칼슘조절에 대한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 사료 내 단백질과 칼슘수준은 모든 연구결과에서 상호관계에서 유의적 차이가 없어, 두 요인이 서로에게 미치는 영향은 낮을 것으로 생각된다.
