Studies on Energy Metabolism of Growing Chicken

닭의 에너지 대사(代謝)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

An energy metabolism study was conducted with two commercial strains of meat-type chickens, Hubbard and Cobb, and two egg strains, Hy Line and Korean-bred Hanhyup 325. The heat production of growing chickens from each strain were measured by the use of an open-circuit gravimetric respiration calorimeter. The data obtained from this study were summarized as fallows. 1. The average body weight of 9-wk-old Hubbard broilers reared in battery cages was 2,570g/bird. The average body weights of 9-wk-old Hy Line chicks and Hanhyup 325 were 777 and 748g/bird, respectively. 2. At 3 weeks of age, the Hubbard broiler chicks consumed two times the feed consumed by Hy Line chicks (54.6g VS. 26.7g/bird/day). These values increased to 151g and 57.2g/bird/day, respectively, at 8 weeks of age, indicating that the difference in feed intake between meat and egg-type chicks tends to increase as they grow older. In terms of water consumption, the 5-wk-old Hubbard broiler chicks drank $226m{\ell}/bird/day$ as compared with $58m{\ell}$ by Hy Line chicks. These values increased to 282 and $70m{\ell}$, respectively, at 8 weeks of age. 3. The excreta outputs of Hubbard broilers and Hy Line chicks were 18.7 and 6.1g DM/bird/day at 4 weeks of age, and 41.5 and 10.0g DM/bird/day at 8 weeks of age, respectively. 4. The energy metabolizability of broiler chicks were 75.4~77.1% compared to 75.0~83.5% by egg-type chicks. 5. The respiratory quotient (RQ) was between 0.78 and 0.97. There seems to be no difference in RQ between meat and egg-type chicks. The RQ tended to decrease when feed intake was low and vice versa. 6. Both meat and egg-type chicks produced $83.1{\sim}123.1Kcal/kg^{\frac{3}{4}}B.W./day$. The considerably low value of $83Kcal/kg^{\frac{3}{4}}B.W./day$ was obtained when the chicks were off the feed under the stressful conditions. The high value of 123.1Kcal was obtained when the chicken chamber temperature rose to $27{\sim}34^{\circ}C$.

한국(韓國)에서 사육(飼育)되고 있는 닭의 육용종(肉用種) Hubbard bro.와 Cobb 및 난용종(卵用種) Hy line 그리고 우리나라에서 육종(育種)된 한협(韓協)325호(號)의 병아리를 공시동물(供試動物)로 하고 개방식중량측정형(開放式重量測定型) 호흡시험장치(呼吸試驗裝置)를 사용(使用)하여 에너지대사량(代謝量)을 측정(測定)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. 병아리를 9 주령(週齡)까지 cage에서 사육(飼育)한 1수당(首當) 평균(平均) 체중(體重)은 Hubbard bro.가 2570.7g이고 Hy line은 776.9g였으며 한협(韓協)325호(號)는 748g 이었다. 2. 주별(週別) 1 수당(首當) 사료섭취양모(飼料攝取量)은 3주령(週齡)에서 Hubbard bro. 가 54.6g으로 Hy line의 26.7g에 약(約) 2배(倍)였으며, 8령(週齡)에서는 151.1g과 57.2g 으로 약(約) 3배(倍) 정도(程度)였다. 음수량(飮水量)은 5주령(週齡)에서 Hubbard bro.가 1일(日) 평균(平均) $226m{\ell}$, Hy line 이 $58m{\ell}$, 8주령(週齡)에서는 $282m{\ell}$와 $70m{\ell}$였다. 3. 분(糞)의 배설량(排泄量)은 4주(週)와 8주령(週齡)에서 완전건조상태(完全乾燥狀態)로 1일(日) 1수당(首當) Hubbard bro.가 18.7g과 41.5g이었고 Hy line은 6.1g과 10.0g이었다. 4. 에너지 섭취량(攝取量)과 배설량(排泄量)은 3, 5, 8주령(週齡)에서 사료섭취(飼料攝取)에너지와 분(糞)의 배설(排泄)에너지를 측정(測定)하여 대사(代謝)에너지를 조사(調査)한 결과(結果) Hubbard bro. 는 75.4~77.1%였고 Hy line은 75.0~83.5%로 난용종(卵用種)의 사료이용율(飼料利用率)이 높았다. 5. 병아리의 호흡상(呼吸商)은 육용종(肉用種)이나 난용종간(卵用種間)에 차이(差異)를 인정(認定)할 수 없었으며 0.78에서 0.97사이였는데 사료섭취량(飼料攝取量)이 적으며 0.78로 떨어졌으며 많아짐에 따라 0.97로 증가(增加)하였다. 6. 대사체중(代謝體重)에 대한 에너지의 발생량(發生量)은 83.1~123.1Kcal로서 24시간(時間)동안 사료(飼料)의 섭취(攝取)를 거의 하지 않은 상태(狀態)에서는 83.4Kcal로 기초대사량(基礎代謝量)에 근사(近似)하였고 동물상내(動物箱內)의 온도(溫度)가 $27{\sim}34^{\circ}C$로 높을 때에는 123.1Kcal로 증가(增加)하는 현상(現像)을 나타냈다.
