Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of feeding various Lactobacillus on production performance, nutrients digestibility, intestinal microflora, and fecal $NH_{3}$ gas emission in laying hens. Three hundred and sixty ISA Brown layers, 21 weeks of age, were randomly allotted to nine treatments, with low replicates per treatment. Nine treatments consisted of Control(no Lactobacillus), Lactobacillus crispatus avibrol(LCB: KFCC-11195), Lactobaciilus reuteri avibro2(LRB: KFCC-11196), Lactobacillus crispatus avihenl(LCH: KFCC-11197), Lactobacillus vaginalis avihen2(LVH: KFCC-11198). Each Lactobacillus was added at two levels ($10^{4}$and $10^{7}$ cfu/g diets). Egg production, and egg weight were measured daily. A metabolism trial was conducted following the 12-week feeding trial, during which egg qualities, intestinal microflora and fecal $NH_{3}$ gas emission were examined. Egg production and daily egg mass improved significantly by the addition of various Lactobacillus(P<0.05), of which effect was more notable during the latter part of the feeding trial. But, no significant differences were found among Lactobacillus strains and between two levels of supplementation. Egg weight and feed intake showed no difference among all treatments. Feed conversion ratio of birds fed lactobacillus was significantly improved compared to that of the Control(P<0.05), but not different among lactobacillus treatments. Digestibility of crude protein, ether extract and crude ash improved significantly in lactobacillus treatments(P<0.05). However, there were not statistically different by adding levels and strains. Total counts of Lactobacillus spp. in ileum of layers fed Lactobacillus were significantly higher than that of the control, but no consistent trend was found in cecum. There were no significant differences in intestinal yeast and anaerobes counts among all treatments. The Lactobaciilus supplementation did not exert my effect on the eggshell quality and Haugh unit. Fecal $NH_{3}$ gas emission decreased significantly in Lactobacillus treatments, and showed no difference between the two supplementation levels. From the result of this study, it could be concluded that dietary supplementation of Lactobacillus, regardless of their species, Improves the laying performance and decreases the fecal ammonia gas emission. The proper level of supplementation appears to be $10^{4}$ cfu/g of diet.

본 연구는 산란계에 대한 유산균주 및 첨가수준 효과를 구명하기 위하여 실시되었다. 21주령된 ISA Brown 360수를 공시하여 12주 동안 사양하면서 산란생산성, 영양소 이용성, 회장 및 맹장내 미생물 변화, 계란 품질 변화 및 계분내 암모니아 가스 발생 량을 조사하였다. 첨가된 유산균은 LCB(Lactobacillus crispatus avibrol: KFCC-11195), LRB(Lactobacillus reuteri avibro2: KFCC-11196), LCH(Lactobacillus crispatu avihenl: KFCC-11197), LVH(Lactobacillus vaginalis avihen2: KFCC-ll198) 4종류였다. 처리구는 무첨가구와 유산균 4종을 균주별로 사료 g당 $10^{4}$$10^{7}$ cfu 수준으로 첨가한 9개 처리로 배치하였으며, 처리구당 4반복, 반복당 10수씩 공시하였다. 산란율은 유산균첨가구가 무첨가구에 비하여 현저하게 증가하였으며, 급여기간이 길수록 더욱 차이가 크게 나타났다(P<0.05). 유산균주 및 첨가수준간 차이는 나타나지 않았으며, 평균난중은 처리간 차이를 보이지 않았다. 1일 산란량은 유산균 첨가구가 모두 무첨가구에 비하여 향상되었으며 (P<0.05), 유산균주 및 첨가수준간 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 사료섭취량은 처리간 차이가 없었으며, 난생산 사료효율은 유산균 급여로 인하여 현저하게 개선되었지만(P<0.05), 유산균 계통별, 첨가수준별 차이는 없었다. 건물, 조단백질, 조지방, 조회분 등의 영양소 소화율은 LVH첨가구가 무첨가에 비하여 증가하였고(P<0.05)다른 처리는 대조구와 차이가 없었다. 4주 단위로 조사한 난각질과 Haugh unit은 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 회장내 유산균 수는 유산균 급여구들이 대조구보다 현저하게 높았다(P<0.05). 회장내 효모와 혐기성 미생물 및 맹장내 미생물의 수는 처리구간에 비슷한 경항을 나타냈다. 계분내 암모니아 가스 발생량은 배분후 3일부터 6일차까지 최대로 발생하였는데, 이 기간 중에 유산균 급여구는 대조구보다 발생량이 현저하게 낮아서 약 50%감소하였다(P<0.05). 본 연구 결과 산란계에게 유산균의 급여는 산란 생산성을 향상시키고 계분의 암모니아 가스 발생량을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 유산균을 사료 g당 $10^{4}$$10^{7}$ cfu 수준으로 첨가한 바, 대조구보다 생산성을 높게 하였지만 첨가 수준간에 차이는 없었으므로, 적정 유산균 첨가수준은 사료내 약 $10^{4}$ cfu/g 으로 판단된다.
