Abstract

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of deletion of vitamin and trace mineral premixes on growth, feed efficiency, backfat thickness, hemoglobin content, muscle vitamin E content, and fecal, serum and muscle trace mineral contents in finishing pigs raised under two different housing conditions. In Exp. 1, three pens (or experimental units) of five pigs each (average weight $\pm$ s.e., 70 $\pm$ 0.5 kg) were assigned to a control diet (with vitamin and trace mineral premixes) or diets with 50 or 100% of the premixes deleted. Pigs were fed to market weight under sub-optimal housing conditions with sawdust-covered concrete floor and no electrical ventilation. In Exp. 2, three pens of four pigs each (average weight $\pm$ s.e., 56 $\pm$ 1.1 kg) were assigned to a control (with vitamin and trace mineral premixes), Diet-P (100% of the premixes deleted) or Diet-P+E (Diet-P plus 100 mg $\alpha$-tocopherol acetate/kg diet fed for the last 2 wk before slaughter). Pigs were fed to market weight under optimal housing conditions with 70%-slatted concrete floor, electrical ventilation and temperature control. No significant differences were found in average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), and gain/feed among treatments in both experiments, but in Exp. 2 done with younger pigs, ADG and ADFI tended to be higher in the control group than in pigs fed diet without premixes. Hemoglobin content, hematocrit and red blood cell count were not influenced by the deletion of premixes. Backfat thickness was not different among treatments. Fecal Mn (twofold) and Zn (threefold) contents were higher in the control than in pigs fed diets without the premixes. Serum trace mineral contents were not influenced by diets. $\alpha$-Tocopherol content in gluteus maxima was decreased (P< 0.01) by deleting the dietary premixes, but increased to the level higher than the control by adding 100 mg $\alpha$-tocopheryl acetate/kg diet fed for the last 2 wk before slaughter. Results indicate that: 1) supplementary vitamins and trace minerals may not be necessary for optimum growth in finishing pigs, and 2) deletion of the dietary premixes reduces muscle vitamin E content, but the reduced content can be reversed by adding $\alpha$- tocopherol to diets fed for the last 2 wk before slaughter. The deletion may help to alleviate the environmental load of certain minerals from manure.

비육후기 사료에서 비타민-미량광물질 첨가제의 제거가 돼지의 성장, 사료효율, 혈 중 헤모글로빈 농도, 돈육 내 비타민 E 및 분 중 미량광물질 함량에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 사육환경이 서로 다른 돈사에서 두 번의 시험이 수행되었다. 시험 1에서는 45두의 비육돈 (평균체중 70 kg, 3원교잡종)을 돈방 당 5두씩 배치하고, 대조구 (비타민-미량광물질 프리믹스 첨가), 프리믹스 50% 및 0% 첨가구에 각각 3돈방을 배치하여 환기와 온도가 제어되지 않는 재래식 톱밥돈사에서 7주동안 사양한 후 도축하였다. 시험 2에서는 돈사 환기 및 온도가 자동 조절되는 슬러리 무창돈사에서 36두의 요크셔 비육돈 (평균체중 56 kg)을 돈방 당 4두씩 배치, 대조구(비타민-미량광물질 프리믹스 첨가), 프리믹스 0% 및 프리믹스 0%+비타민 E(100 mg $\alpha$-tocopherol acetate/kg) 첨가구에 각각 3돈방을 배치하여 7주 동안 사양 후 도축하였다. 두 시험에서 처리 간 일당증체량, 사료섭취량, 사료효율 및 도체특성은 유의차가 없었으나 시험 2에서는 대조구의 일당증체량이 약간 높은 경향을 보였다. 프리믹스의 미 첨가는 헤모글로빈 함량이나 적혈구 수에 영향을 주지 않았다. 분 중 Mn과 Zn 함량은 대조구에서 프리믹스를 첨가하지 않은 다른 처리에서 보다 매우 높게 (P<0.01) 나타났다. 혈 중 미량광물질 함량은 처리간 유의차를 보이지 않았다. 햄 근육 (gluteus maxima) 내 $\alpha$-tocopherol 함량은 프리믹스를 첨가하지 않음으로써 감소하였으나 (P〈 0.01), 도살 전 2주 동안 $\alpha$-tocopheryl acetate(100mg/kg diet)를 급여함으로써 프리믹스 첨가구보다도 더 증가하였다 (P< 0.01). 본 연구결과 돼지 비육후기 사료에 비타민-미량광물질 프리믹스의 첨가는 성장율에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않으면서 분 중 일부 미량광물질을 증가시키기 때문에 경제적인 손실과 토양오염의 위험이 있음을 말해 준다. 프리믹스 제거로 인한 고기 내 비티민 E 함량의 감소는 마지막 2주동안 $\alpha$-tocopherol 를 첨가 급여함으로써 회복될 수 있다.
