Abstract

This study investigated the effects of copper and zinc sources on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass traits and meat characteristics in finishing pigs. Dietary treatments included 1) inorganic copper ($CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ 30ppm), 2) organic copper (Cu-methionine, 30 ppm), 3) inorganic zinc (ZnO, 80 ppm) and 4) organic zinc (Zn-methionine, 80 ppm). ZnO treatment improved the ADFI (average daily feed intake) compared to Cu-met and Zn-met treatments (p<0.05) during 5 weeks of treatment. However, during the entire experimental period, the ADG (average daily gain), ADFI and F:G ratio (feed conversion ratio) were not significantly different among the treatments (p>0.05). DM and N digestibility were not significantly different among the treatments after 5 weeks (p>0.05). At the end of the experiment, DM and N digestibility were decreased with Zn-met treatment relative to the other three treatments. The pH value of meat from $CuSO_4$ treated pigs was greater than Zn-met and ZnO treated pigs (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation was carried out for randomly selected (n = 16) paired loin samples. Meat color levels were increased (p<0.05) with Cu treatments compared to Zn treatments. $CuSO_4$ decreased the marbling of meat relative to the other treatments (p<0.05). The firmness was greater with ZnO treatment compared to Cu-met and ZnO treatments (p<0.05). These results indicate that inorganic Zn can improve growth performance, however, inorganic Cu and Zn are as effective as organic Cu and Zn at improving nutrient digestibility, carcass traits and meat quality. This form of organic additive can be friendlier to the environment than inorganic supplements.

본 연구는 사료내 형태별 구리와 아연 첨가가 비육돈의 생산성, 영양소 소화율 도체 및 육질 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 3원 교잡종(Landrace x Yorkshire x Duroc) 비육돈 64두를 공시하였으며, 시험개시 시의 체중은 55.60 kg이었다. 1) 무기태 구리 $(CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ 30 ppm), 2) 유기태 구리(Cu-methionine, 30 ppm), 3)무기태 아연(ZnO, 80 ppm) 및 4) 유기태 아연(Zn-methionine, 80 ppm)으로 4개 처리를 하여 처리당 4반복, 반복당 4두씩 완전임의 배치하였다. 0-5주 동안 일당 사료 섭취량은 무기태 아연 처리구가 유기태 구리 및 아연 처리구와 비교하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 그러나 전체 시험기간 동안 일당 증체량, 사료 섭취량 및 사료 요구율은 처리구간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 시험 5주째의 건물 및 질소 소화율은 처리구간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나(p>0.05), 시험 10주째의 건물 및 질소 소화율은 유기태 아연을 첨가한 처리구가 다른 처리구와 비교하여 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 육의 pH는 Cu-Met처리구가 아연을 첨가 급여한 처리구와 비교하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며, 관능검사에서 육색은 Cu-met과 $CuSO_4$ 처리구가 Zn-met과 ZnO처리구와 비교하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났고(p<0.05), 근내지방도는 Cu-met 처리구가 다른 처리구와 비교하여 유의적으로 낮게 나타났으며(p<0.05), 경도에 있어서는 Zn-met 처리구가 유기태 구리 및 무기태 아연 처리구와 비교하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 환경오염을 야기 시키는 무기태 구리 및 아연의 첨가 대신 유기태 구리 및 아연의 첨가는 성장 능력, 등심 단면적 및 육색에 영향을 미치지 않았다.
