Abstract

This work was carried out to investigate the effect of the induced molting with low-protein and energy diet on the postmolt performance of layers. Eighty White Leghorn layers (61-old-wk) with over 80% egg production were used for 12 weeks in this work. Treatments were non-molt control (CO), fasting treatment for 10 days (FW), molt treatment with low-protein and low-energy molting diet for 3 weeks (LO), and molt treatment with standard molting diet for 3 weeks (ST) as 4 treatments (2 replications/treatment and 10 birds/replication). Body weight (BW) loss was 26.5% of initial BW at 2 week in FW treatment, and was 17.3% and 14.2% in both LO and ST treatments (P<0.05). Layers in molting treatments were fed with commercial layer diet after completion of molting since BW of layers was recovered for 7 weeks. Heart weight ratio was shown as 0.47, 0.43, 0.46 and 0.46% at CO, FW, LO and ST treatments, respectively, and liver weight ration of body weight was shown as 2.56, 1.30, 1.47 and 1.52%, respectively. Thus, those of molting treatments decreased compared to non-molt control (P<0.05). Oviduct weight ratio were shown as 3.95, 1.17, 1.54 and 1.67%, respectively, and similar with the results of liver (P<0.05). Feed intake decreased at LO and ST treatments during molting period and increased from the 5th week compared to control. Egg production decreased at 1 week in molt treatment and stopped at 2 week in FW, 3 week in LO, and 4 week in ST treatments. The birds started to lay egg at 4 week in FW and at 5 week in LO and ST treatments. Egg production was recovered until 50% at 6 week in FW and was recovered as 66.1 and 71.6% at 8 week in LO and ST treatment, respectively. Egg weights were similar among all treatments. Eggshell thicknesses were 0.41, 0.47, 0.46 and 0.46 mm at CO, FW, LO and ST treatment, respectively, but the higher in molt treatments than control (P<0.05). Eggshell breaking strength was 3.83 and 3.81 kg/$cm^2$ in FW and LO treatment, respectively, and high compared to control. However, eggshell breaking strengths were 3.54 and 3.78 kg/$cm^2$ and were not statistically different. Haugh units were 75.6, 81.1, 80.6 and 79.9 in 4 treatments and high in molt treatment. Finally, dietary low-protein and low-energy may induce molt as few effect on performance of layers.

본 연구는 저단백질, 저에너지 사료를 이용한 유도 환우가 산란계의 생산성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 공시계는 산란율이 80% 이상인 61주령 White Leghorn 산란계 80수(평균 체중 $1.75{\pm}0.13$ kg)를 이용하여 12주 동안 시험을 실시하였다. 시험 설계는 환우를 하지 않는 비환우 대조구(CO), 비급이 환우구(10일 동안의 절식구, FW), 급이 환우구1(3주 동안 저단백질-저에너지 환우용 사료 급이구, LO) 그리고 급이 환우구2(3주 동안 표준 환우용 사료 급이구, ST)의 총 4처리구로 나누었으며, 처리구당 2반복, 반복당 10수씩 총 80수를 완전 임의 배치하였다. FW구에서는 2주째 초기체중에서 26.5%의 체중 손실이 있었으며, LO구와 ST구에서는3주째각각 17.3과 14.2%의 체중손실이 있었다(P<0.05). 환우구의 시험계들은 환우가 종료되고 산란 말기 사료를 급여한 1주 후에 체중이 회복되기 시작하여, 7주째는 처리구간에 환우 전 체중으로 회복되었다. 심장 무게 비율은 CO, FW, LO 및 ST구에서 각각 0.47, 0.43, 0.46 그리고 0.46%로 나타났으며, 간 무게 비율은 각각 2.56, 1.30, 1.47 및 1.52%로 비환우 대조구에 비해 환우 처리구에서 무게가 감소하였다(P<0.05). 난포수란관 무게 비율은3.95, 1.17, 1.54 및1.67%로 간과 유사한 경향을 보였다(P<0.05). LO구와 ST구는 환우 기간 중에 사료 섭취량이 감소하였으며, 5주째 이후부터는 사료 섭취량이 대조구와 유사하게 증가하였다. 산란율은 1주령에 환우 처리구에서 감소하였으며, FW구에서는 2주째, LO구에서는 3주째, ST구에서는 4주째에 산란이 정지되었다. 산란 회복 기간을 보면 FW구는 4주째, LO구와 ST구는 5주째 산란이 재개되었으며, FW구는 6주째에 50.6%로 산란율이 50% 정도가 회복되었고, LO구와 ST구는 8주째에 각각 66.1과 71.6%로 산란율이 50%가 넘게 회복되었다. 난중은 약 67.5 g 정도로 모든 처리구에서 유사하게 나타났다. 난각두께는 CO, FW, LO 및 ST구에서 각각 0.41, 0.47, 0.46, 0.46 mm로 환우 처리구에서 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 난각 강도는 FW구와 LO구는 각각 3.83과 3.81 kg/$cm^2$로 CO구에 비해 높게 나타났으나, CO구와 ST구는 각각 3.54와 3.78 kg/$cm^2$로 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 호우유니트는 4처리구에서 각각 75.6, 81.1, 80.6 및 79.9로 환우 처리구에서 높게 나타났다. 따라서 사료의 에너지와 단백질 함량을 낮추어 산란계의 생산성에 미치는 영향을 최소화하여 환우를 유도할 수 있다고 사료된다.
