Abstract

Total of 20 Holstein calves of 10 calves (3.90±0.26 month of age) born in spring (S) and 10 calves (4.10±0.30 month of age) born in fall (F) were reared in this study for 24 months and diets were divided into separate feeding of forage and concentrates (C) and TMR (T). Therefore, 4 treatments in this study were composed of CS, CF, TS and TF with the factors of diets and calving season. After parturition of heifers, all animals were fed the same diet and milk production was recorded monthly. DM intakes in growing period were influenced by calving season, and those of the animals calved in fall were higher than in those calved in spring (P<0.01), but there were no significant differences by feeding method. CP intakes and TDN intakes were significantly influenced by calving season (P<0.05) and feeding method (P<0.001), and the animals calved in fall were about 1.2% higher than those calved in spring, and the animals fed TMR were about 4.7% higher than those fed concentrates and forage separately. Average, 9th and 10th months' milk yields were significantly influenced by feeding method in which those in the treatments fed TMR (TS, TF) were higher than in separate feeding of concentrates and forage (CS, CF; average P<0.05; 9th and 10th months P<0.01). Average milk persistency was also significantly influenced by calving season (P<0.05) and feeding method (P<0.01) and those in the animals calved in fall were higher than in spring and those of the TMR fed animals were also higher than in separate feeding of concentrates and forage. Milk persistency was similar to the results of milk yield, showing statistically significant differences affected by the feeding method at 9th and 10th months of late lactation (P<0.01), and it was about 8% higher in the animals fed TMR, showing higher tendency at 7th (P=0.12) and 8th months of late lactation (P=0.09). Therefore, it is expected that postpartum milk yield and milk persistency would be higher when the hiefers are fed TMR in growing period and calved in fall. Average milk fat content was influenced by feeding method. Milk fat content of the animals fed TMR during growing period were 7.8% higher than those fed concentrates and forage separately (P<0.01). This suggests that feeding TMR during growing period influenced first postpartum eating behavior, which stabilized the rumen and resulted in the increased milk fat. At 3rd month after calving, milk fat content was lower in the animals calved in spring than in those calved in fall, suggesting that it might have been influenced by the seasonal differences. MUN showed significant differences by feeding method in which those in separate feeding of concentrates and forages were higher especially in average, 4th, 5th and 6th months (average and 4th P<0.01; 5th and 6th months P<0.05). SCC was higher in the animals fed TMR than in those fed concentrates and forage separately especially in average, 3rd and 4th months after calving (P<0.01). In conclusion, when feeding TMR during growing period and calving in fall, it was not influenced by the high temperature in summer, and it resulted in the improved milk yield, milk persistency and milk fat content.

본 연구는 봄에 출생한 송아지 10두(3.90±0.26개월령)와 가을에 출생한 송아지 10두(4.10±0.30개월령)를 약 24개월간 조사료와 농후사료를 분리 급여하거나 또는 TMR을 급여하여 분만 후의 유생산과 비유지속성을 조사하였다. 처리구는 사료 급여 형태와 분만계절의 2가지 요인으로 육성기에 조사료와 농후사료를 분리하여 급여하고 봄에 분만한 CS구, 육성기에 조농분리 급여한 후 가을 분만한 CF구, 육성기에 TMR을 급여한 후 봄에 분만한 TS구 그리고 육성기에 TMR을 급여하고 가을에 분만한 TF구의 4가지로 구분하였다. 육성기의 건물섭취량은 분만계절의 영향을 받아 가을에 분만한 구가 봄에 분만한 구보다 높게 나타났으나(P<0.01), 사료급여 방법에 의해서는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. CP 섭취량과 TDN 섭취량은 분만계절(P<0.05)과 사료급여(P<0.01)에 의해 유의한 영향을 받았으며 가을에 분만한 구가 봄에 분만한 구에 비해 약 1.2% 높게 나타났고 TMR 급여구가 조농분리 급여구보다 약 4.7%정도 높은 결과를 보였다. 평균 산유량과 9, 10개월차의 산유량은 사료급여 방법에 의해 유의한 영향을 받아 TMR 급여구(TS구, TF구)가 조농분리 급여구(CS구, CF구) 보다 높은 결과를 나타내었다(평균 P<0.05; 9개월차와 10개월차 P<0.01). 평균 비유지속성은 분만계절(P<0.05)과 사료급여 방법(P<0.01)에 의해 유의한 영향을 받아 가을에 분만한 구가 봄에 분만한 구에 비해 높은 결과를 보였으며 TMR 급여구가 조농분리 급여구 보다 높은 결과를 나타냈다. 산유량의 결과와 유사하게 비유후기인 9, 10개월차에 사료급여에 의해 통계적 유의차를 보여(P<0.01) TMR 급여구가 약 8% 높았으며, 7개월차(P=0.12)와 8개월차(P=0.09)에도 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 육성기에 TMR을 급여하고 가을에 분만할 경우 초산우의 산유량과 비유지속성 증진에 효과적일 것으로 사료된다. 평균 유지율은 사료급여의 영향을 받아 TMR 급여구가 조농분리 급여구 보다 7.8% 높았는데(P<0.01) 육성기 TMR 급여가 분만 후 섭취행동에 영향을 주어 반추위의 안정화로 인해 유지율이 증가한 것으로 사료된다. 분만 후 3개월차에는 봄에 분만한 구가 가을에 분만한 구보다 유지방 함량이 낮았으며(P<0.05) 이는 계절적 차이에 의한 것으로 사료된다. MUN은 평균과 4, 5 및 6개월차에 조농분리 급여구에서 유의하게 높았다(4개월차 P<0.01; 5, 6개월차 P<0.05). 체세포수는 평균과 분만 후 3, 4개월차에 TMR 급여구가 조농분리 급여구 보다 높은 결과를 보였다(P<0.01). 결과를 종합해보면, 육성기에 TMR 급여방법을 적용하고 가을에 분만하는 경우 봄에 분만하는 경우에 비해 여름철 고온의 영향을 비교적 덜 받아 산유량과 비유지속성 뿐만 아니라 유지율 등이 개선되어 경제성이 향상되는 효과를 보았다. 그러나 본 실험은 봄과 가을의 분만계절이 미치는 영향만을 보았기 때문에 여름과 겨울의 분만계절의 영향에 대한 추가 실험이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
