초록

꽃사슴의 효율적인 사양관리를 위한 기초자료의 제시를 위해 근전도(EMG) Telemetry system을 이용한 사슴의 채식행동 조사가 실시되었다. 사슴은 다른 반추가축에 비해 빈번하고 불규칙한 채식행동 양식이 나타났다. 일중 채식과 반추에 소비한 시간은 각각 261분과 291분이었다. 사슴은 반추행동시에 일중 총 647회의 식괴와 1반추기당 평균 21.6회의 식괴를 토출했으며 1식괴당 26.9초의 반추시간을 나타냈다. 반추기간중 총 저작시간은 245.3분이었다. 총 저작수는 20,405회였으며 식괴당 31.5회, 분당 83.4회의 저작회수를 나타냈다. 시간대별 평균 식괴토출수는 09∼15시 사이에 15.3회로 가장 낮았고 15∼21시 사이에 26회로 가장 높았으며 이후 점차 저하되었다. 매 6시간 간격의 1식괴당 평균 저작회수는 시간이 경과함에 따라 증가되었다. 한편 섭취건물 100g당 채식시간과 반추시간은 각각 23.3분과 26.2분이었다. 결과적으로 사슴은 다소 불규칙하고 빈번한 채식과 반추 그리고 적은 식괴크기와 낮은 저작회수 등으로 인해 타 반추가축과는 다른 행동양식을 갖고 있기 때문에 이에 적합한 사양 관리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A behavioral investigation in deer equipped with EMG telemetry system was carried out to examine the chewing behavior pattern for efficient feeding management of Korean spotted deer(Cervus nippon). There was more frequent and irregular eating and rumination behavior pattern in deer than those in other ruminants. Time spent on eating and ruminating was 261 and 291 min., respectively. Total number of boli regurgitated was 647 times per a day and deer regurgitated an average boil of 21.6 times per a rumination period. Total rumination time was 291 min. and deer have an average rumination time of 26.9 sec. per a boli. Deer had 245.3 min. for total chewing time, 20,405 times fur number of chews, 31.5 times for number of chews per bolus, and 53.4 times for number of chews per minute during rumination period. An average regurgitation bolus an hour was lower with 15.3 numbers in the 09∼15 hours subperiod and higher with 26 numbers in the 15∼21 hours subperiod and it had been gradually trended to become to low after 15∼21 hours subperiod. An average numbers of chews a bolus at every 6 hours subperiod increased gradually according to time. A deer spent 23.3 min. on eating and 26.2 min. on ruminating per 100g ingested dry matter. Consequently, since deer have a different chewing behavioral pattern to other ruminants such as more frequent and irregular eating and ruminating patterns, small bolus and low number of chew, it is likely to needed to establishment and development efficient feeding system for deer.
