Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of mugwort powder supplementation on the fattening performance and carcass characteristics during a 14 month period (from 14 months to 27 months after birth) in 32 heads of fattening Hanwoo. Fattening Hanwoos were randomly assigned 4 treatments (8 heads/treatment): C-1 [(control (0%) with Hanwoo steers)], C-2 [(control (0%) with Hanwoo heifers)], T-1 (supplementation with 2.0% mugwort powder with Hanwoo steers) and T-2(supplementation with 2.0% mugwort powder with Hanwoo heifers). The final body weights for C-1, C-2, T-1 and T-2 at 27 months were 648.6kg, 623.1kg, 663.3kg and 620.7kg, respectively. The total gain and the daily gain were highest in the T-1 group (342.4 kg, 0.88 kg). Hanwoo steers were not significantly different from Hanwoo heifers. The feed intake for the C-1, C-2, T-1 and T-2 groups were 9.35 kg, 9.09 kg, 10.08 kg and 9.69 kg, with the T-1 value being highest. The feed conversion ratios were as follows: C-1 (11.28) > T-1 (11.48) > C-2 (11.52) > T-2 (12.57). The concentrations of total cholesterol, GOT, GPT, glucose and BUN in blood serum during the fattening period were higher after than before the experiment The total cholesterol, GOT and glucose after completion of the experiment were higher in the treatment groups than the control groups (p<0.05). The carcass body weight was higher in the treatment groups than the control groups. The back fat thickness was lower in the treatment groups (12.75-14.75mm) than the control groups (15.76-16.00mm), and the longissimus muscle area was higher in the treatment groups $(84.25-87.88cm^2)$ than the control groups $(84.00-85.25cm^2)$ with the highest over-all values in the T-1 group (p<0.05). The yield grade and quality grade point were higher in the treatment groups (2.02-2.50, 2.85-3.05 point, respectively) than the control groups (1.80, 2.55-2.80 point, respectively). In conclusion, the effects of feeding dietary mugwort powder to Hanwoo steers improved the ADG, carcass body weight, longissimus muscle area and quality grade.
본 연구는 비육한우 32두(거세우 16두, 암소 16두)를 대상으로 (C-1구 거세우의 일반사료 : C-2구 암소의 일반사료 : T-1구 거세우에게 야생쑥 2%첨가 : T-2구 암소에게 쑥 2%첨가) 4개 처리구를 두고 14개월간(생후14개월-27개월) 비육시험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 27개월 시험종료 체중에서 대조구인 C-1구, C-2구는 각각 648.6, 623.1kg이었고, 처리구인 T-1구, T-2구는 각각 663.3 kg 및 620.7 kg으로서 T-1구가 가장 높았고, 총 증체량과 일당증체량에서도 T-1구가 각각 342.4 kg과 0.88 kg으로 가장 높았다. 1일 두당 총 사료섭취량은 대조구인 C-1구 및 C-2구와 처리구인 T-1구 및 T-2구가 각각 9.35, 9.09, 10.08 및 9.69 kg으로 T-1구가 가장 높았고, 사료요구율에서는 C-1구(11.28) > T-1구(11.48) > C-2구(11.52) > T-2(12.57)순으로 낮았다. 혈중 총콜레스테롤, GOT, GPT, 글리코스 및 BUN은 대체로 시험개시전보다 시험개시후가 더 높은 경향이었고, 특히 시험개시후의 총 콜레스테롤, GOT 및 glucose 함량은 처리구가 대조구보다 낮았다 (p<0.05). 도체중은 처리구(344.11-378.08 kg)가 대조구(342.71-369.70 kg)보다 높은 경향이었고, 등지방두께는 처리구(12.75-14.75 mm)가 대조구(15.76-16.00 mm) 보다 얇아진 반면에 배최장근 단면적은 처리구$(84.25-87.88cm^2)$가 대조구$(84.00-85.25cm^2)$보다 넓어졌다. 그 중에서 T-1구가 각각 14.75 mm와 $87.88cm^2$로 가장 좋았으며, 육량 및 육질등급은 처리구(각각, 2.02-2.50점, 2.85-3.05점)가 대조구(각각, 1.80점, 2.80-2.55점)보다 높았다. 본 시험의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 거세한우에게 쑥첨가는 일당증체량 증가, 도체중, 배최장근 단면적 및 육질개선 효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다.
