The present study was conducted to estimate average weights, and corrlation and regression coefficients among various traits of eggs obtained from Korean native and imported chicken. Data were obtained from 360 layers (180 of Korean native origin, and 180 of imported Decalb Brown) between November 8, 1994 to February 8, 1995. The results obtained are summerized as follows : 1. The mean weights of whole egg, yolk, dense white, thin white, and egg shell of native chicken were lighter (P<0.01) than those of Decalb Brown. 2. The coefficients of variability in each egg trait were lower in native chicken than in Decalb Brown, indicating the higher ability of native chicken to adapt to the local environment. 3. The phenotypic correlation coeffcients between whole egg and weights of yolk, dense white, thin white, and eggshell were 0.842∼0.992(P<0.01) in native chicken, and 0.865∼0.985(P<0.01) in Decalb Brown. 4. The average eggshell thicknesses of native and imported Decalb Brown were 362.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and 407.9 $\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. 5. The regression coefficients of most of the traits of eggs from native chicken were lower than those from Decalb Brown layers, suggesting that Korean native chicken should be improved further in various egg traits measured in this study.

This study was conducted to estimate heritabilities and genetic correlations on egg compositions and egg qualities in Korean Native Ogol fowl. The data were gathered from a total of 58,320 eggs in 450 pullets produced from 150 dams and 20 sires of Korean Native Ogol fowl raised at Chungnam National University from June 18, 1987 to April 6, 1989. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. The heritability estimates of egg compositions based on the variance of sires, dams and combined components were 0.620 - 0.723, 0206 - 0.300 and 0.413 - 0.511 for albumen weight: 0.439 - 0.737, 0.484 - 0.544 and 0.492 - 0.615 for yolk weight: 0.172 - 0.187, 0.412 - 0.642 and 0.309 - 0.503 for shell weight, respectively. 2. The heritability estimates of egg qualities based on the variance of sires, dams and combined components were 0.202 - 0279, 0.557 - 0.819 and 0.428 - 0.508 for shell thickness : 0.202 - 0.394, 0.119 - 0.678 and 0.256 - 0.440 for albumen height : 0.108 - 0.443, 0237 - 0.698 and 0244 - 0.399 for Haught units, respectively. 3. The genetic and phenotypic correlations of egg compositions were as follows; The coefficients between albumen weight and yolk weight were 0.089 - 0.564 and 0.084 - 0.235; between albumen weight and shell weight were 0.396 - 0.925 and 0225 - 0.544; between yolk weight and shell weight were 0.220 - 0.357 and 0.098 - 0.358, respectively. 4. The genetic and phenotypic correlations of egg qualities as follows; between shell thickness and albumen height were 0.082 - 0.356 and - 0.163 - 0.060; between shell thickness and Haught units were - 0.076 - 0.167 and - 0.185 - 0.010; between albumen height and Haught units were 0.338 - 0.604 and 0.154 - 0285, respectively. 5. The genetic correlations of egg compositions and egg qualities were as follows: between albumen weight and shell thickness, albumen height. Haught units were - 0.380 - - 0.002, 0239 - 0.387, and - 0279 - - 0.127; between yolk weight and shell thickness, albumen height, Haught units were - 0.294 - - 0.133, - 0.049 - 0.133 and - 0.196 - - 0.136; between shell weight and shell thickness, albumen height, Haught units were 0.127 - 0.476, 0.140 - 0273 and 0.038 - 0223, respectively.

In this study, sixteen egg quality traits, including egg weight, albumen weight, yolk weight, eggshell weight, albumen weight ratio, yolk weight ratio, eggshell weight ratio, yolk color, eggshell color, egg height, egg width, shape index, albumen height, Haugh unit, eggshell thickness, and eggshell strength were investigated in 12 strains of Korean native chicken using 600 eggs from birds at 38 weeks of age. Results showed that the Korean White Leghorn F strain had the highest egg weight of 62.7 g and the lowest (47.5 g) was observed in the Korean native chicken W strain. The Haugh unit was significantly different between strains. The mean Haugh unit for Korean native chicken ranged between 84.2 (L strain) and 76.0 (F strain), with an overall average of 79.9. Eggshells were the thinnest in Korean Rhode Island Red C and D strains (0.342 mm), whereas the highest eggshell thickness (0.393 mm) was observed in the Korean White Leghorn K strain. Korean Rhode Island Red C and D strains had low egg strength compared to that of other strains. Korean Cornish and Korean native chicken showed significant differences in egg quality traits between strains within breeds. Positive correlation coefficients were observed between egg weight and egg quality traits. The traits for color showed zero or low correlations with most egg quality traits. Egg shape index showed no correlation with most egg quality traits. Albumen height and the Haugh unit showed a positive correlation with albumen traits. Eggshell strength showed a positive correlation with eggshell traits.

최근 육종개량의 발전과 성과로 인하여 대형화되었지만 고밀도 사육에 의해서 하절기 열사병과 심한 더위로 인한 생산성 저하가 큰 문제로 혹서기에 대두되고 있어 그 대응책을 반드시 세워야 할 것이다. 하절기 온도관리 대책으로서는 계사내의 공기유통을 좋게 하는 것이 가장 기본이므로 충분한 환기에 의해 닭의 체감온도를 낮추어 주게 되는 것이다. 그러나 우리나라와 같이 여름철의 기후 특성이 고온다습한 경우는 습도가 높아지게 되면 체감온도는 낮아지지 않는다. 그러므로 계사내의 습도를 저하시키기 위해서 환기휀 등을 이용해 깔짚과 계분을 건조시키는 것도 한가지방법이다. 일반적으로 열사병 대책으로 실시하고 있는 방법으로서는 입기구에 물 분무, 지붕에 물 분무, 계사내의 미세한 분무냉각 등 물을 이용하는 방법이나, 환풍기의 설치, 닥트송풍을 이용한 방법, 거칠고 얇은 그물에 의한 차광 등의 방법으로 온도를 낮게 할 수가 있다. 특히 산란계의 경우 여러 연구보고 자료에 의하면 산란계를 고온 환경에서 사육할 경우 난각질이 저하된다고 하는 보고가 많이 있다. 1일 중에 환경온도를 주기적으로 변화시킨 경우는 일정하게만 유지해 주는 환경온도에 비해서 난각질과 난각강도는 낮아지게 된다. 또한 산란계에 있어서 간헐점등에 대해서는 에너지 수준을 줄이는 기술, 또는 사료절감을 유도하는 방법은 계속 연구되고 있다. 따라서 다음은 하절기 산란$\cdot$육계사의 적온유지를 위한 온도관리 사례에 대하여 이야기하고자 한다.
