본 실험은 대사 에너지와 조단백질 수준이 토종오리의 생산성 및 도체 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 수행되었다. 육성 전기는 토종오리 828수를 9개 처리에 공시하여 사용하였고, 육성 후기는 육성 전기를 거친 토종오리 중 720수를 9개 처리에 공시하여 사용하였다. 육성 전기의 실험 사료는 ME 3,000, 2,900 및 2,800 kcal/kg, CP 23, 22 및 21% 이었으며, 육성 후기에는 ME 3,100, 3,000 및 2,900 kcal/kg, CP 19, 18 및 17%로 처리하여 사용하였다. 육성 전기 실험결과는 CP 수준이 증가함에 따라 체중, 증체량 및 사료 요구율이 유의적으로 개선되었지만(Linear effect, P<0.01), ME 수준과 ME × CP interaction에 의한 유의차는 나타나지 않았다. 균일도는 ME, CP 수준과 ME × CP interaction 모두에서 유의차가 나타나지 않았다. 육성 후기 실험 결과는 체중, 섭취량, 증체량, 사료 요구율 및 균일도에서 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았으나, 도체율에서는 ME 3,000 kcal/kg에서 유의적으로 가장 높게 나타났으며(Quadratic effect, P<0.01), ME와 CP의 수준이 증가함에 따라 간의 상대적 중량이 유의적으로 각각 작아지는 결과(Linear effect, P<0.01)가 나타났다. 가슴육, 넓적다리 및 북채의 상대적 중량에서는 수준간 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 토종오리 고기의 화학 및 물리적 특성인 육색, pH, 가열 감량 및 전단력가에서는 ME 및 CP 수준과 ME × CP interaction 모두에서 유의차가 나타나지 않았다. 〈표 참조〉
This study was undertaken to assess dietary CP and ME concentrations for optimum growth performance and carcass characteristics of Korean Native male ducks. In a 3 × 3 factorial arrangement, 1-d-old Korean Native male ducks were completely randomized design to experimental diets with 3,000, 2,900, and 2,800 kcal of ME/kg of diet; each contained 23, 22, and 21% CP, respectively, from 0 to 3 wk of age. From 4 to 8 wk of age, experimental diets had 3,100, 3,000, and 2,900 kcal of ME/kg of diet, and each contained 19, 18, and 17% CP, respectively. Each dietary treatment was replicated 4 times, and feed and water were provided ad libitum. Body weight, feed intake and uniformity were measured at 3 wk and 8 wk, and carcass characteristics were evaluated at 8 wk. As CP increased from 21 to 23 %, the body weight, BW gain and feed conversion ratios (FCR) linearly improved (P<0.01) during 0 to 3 wk of age. From 4 to 8 wk of age, the body weight, feed intake, BW gain, FCR and uniformity were not different (P>0.05). Carcass ratios of birds fed 3,000 kcal of ME/kg diets from 3 to 8 wk of age were quadratically increased significantly (P<0.01). As ME and CP increased, respectively, relative weight of liver weight per 100 g of BW was linearly decreased (P<0.01). Relative weights of left breast, thigh and drumstick weight per 100 of BW were not different (P>0.05). Also, breast meat color, pH, cooking loss and shear force were not different (P>0.05). Thus, diets with 2,800 kcal of ME/kg and 23% CP or with 2,900 kcal of ME/kg and 17% CP at 0 to 3 wk and 4 to 8 wk, respectively, were used more efficiently. However, diets with 3,000 kcal of ME/kg at 4 to 8 wk in carcass rate was quadratically increased.
