거세한우 송아지 24두(평균체중 : 167.7kg)를 대상으로 점토광물 종류에 따라 4개 처리(T1 : 관행사육, T2 : Kaolinite, T3 : Bentonite, T4 : Illite)를 두어 6개월령부터 24개월령까지 비육시험 한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 일당증체량은 육성기, 비육전기, 비육후기 및 전기간에 각각 0.682-0.713, 0.669-0.714, 0.690-0.840 및 0.699-0.756kg으로, 육성기 및 비육전기에는 관행구가, 비육후기 및 전기간에는 점토광물구가 높았으며, 특히 Illite 및 Bentonite구가 높았지만 통계적인 유의차는 없었다. 1kg 증체에 소요된 농후사료 및 TDN 량도 각각 관행사육구에 비해 점토광물 급여구가 적었으며, 점토광물 중에서 특히 Bentonite 급여구가 적게 소요되었지만 통계적인 유의차는 없었다. 도체조사 결과 도체율, 정육율 및 거래정육율 등은 처리구에 따른 뚜렷한 차이가 없었으나, 육량지수는 T3, T2, T4 및 T1에서 각각 69.3, 68.9, 68.8 및 68.6이었고, 근내지방도는 T3, T2, T4 및 T1에서 각각 5.1, 4.6, 4.4 및 3.3 이었으며, 쇠고기의 전단력은 3.51-6.02kg/$cm^2$으로 점토광물 급여가 육량 및 육질을 모두 개선시키며, 다즙성, 연도, 향미 등 관능검사의 구성요소 모두를 개선시키는 것으로 나타났다. 쇠고기의 지방산 구성에서 포화지방산은 T2, T3, T1 및 T4의 순으로 높았고, 반대로 단일 불포화지방산은 T4, T3, T1 및 T2 순으로 높았으며, 오레인산 함량은 Illite 급여구가 다른 급여구보다 높은 것으로 나타났지만, 통계적인 유의차는 없었다. 쇠고기의 아미노산 구성에서 필수아미노산의 함량은 T1, T2, T3 및 T4의 순으로 높아 점토광물 급여가 쇠고기의 필수아미노산에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 사골 분석결과 점토광물 급여구에서 곰탕의 탁도 및 점도가 높고 짙은 색상을 띄었으며, 미량광물질 중 P, Na 및 Mg의 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 경제성분석 결과, 처리구별 소득은 967.1~1,524.1천원/두이었고, 점토광물 급여가 무급여에 비해 23.7-57.6%가 증가하였으며, 특히 Bentonite 및 Illite의 효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 이상과 같은 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 점토광물은 경제형질과 관련, 특정요소를 집중적으로 개선시키지는 않지만, 육량 및 육질 등 생산성과 관련된 요소들을 골고루 개선시켜 소득을 증대시키므로, 비육전기부터 출하시까지 농후사료 급여량의 2% 내외를 급여하는 것이 바람직 할 것으로 판단된다.
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of domestic clay minerals on feed efficiency, meat quantity, meat quality and economic traits in 24 head of Hanwoo steers(166.1kg in body weight) for 540 days from six to 24 months in age. Feeding trial was conducted with 4 treatment(six heads/treatment) which were T1(Control), T2(Control+Kaolinite), T3(Control+Bentonite), T4(Control+Illite). The results obtained are summarized as follows; The range of average daily gains were 0.682 to 0.713, 0.669 to 0.714, 0.690 to 0.840 and 0.699 to 0.756kg in growing, fattening, finishing and over-all period, respectively, and the gains were high in T1 for growing and fattening period but in clay mineral groups for finishing and over-all period, especially it was high in Illite and Bentonite groups. Concentrates and TDN intakes per unit of kg gains were lower in clay mineral groups than in control and was lower especially in Bentonite groups. In carcass characteristics, dressed carcass and fresh meat and retailed cut percent were not apparently difference by treatments, and yield index was 69.3, 68.9, 68.8 and 68.6 in T3, T2, T4 and T1, respectively. Marbling scores were 5.1, 4.6, 4.4 and 3.3 in T3, T2, T4 and T1, respectively, and the range of shear force by treatment was from 3.51 to 6.02kg/cm2. and were improved with significant difference(P<0.05) in clay mineral groups than in control. Also in palatability traits, panel test scores of juiciness, tenderness and flavor were improved in clay mineral feeding groups, especially the flavor was improved with highly significant difference(P<0.01) in clay mineral groups than in control. In total fatty acid contents, the rate of SFA(saturated fatty acid) in longissimus muscle of beef was higher in the order of T2, T3, T1 and T4 while the rate of MUFA(monounsaturated fatty acid) was high in the order of T4, T3, T1 and T2. The content of oleic acid which is major influential factor at the flavor of beef was higher in Illite groups than in any other groups. In composition of amino acids in longissimus muscles of beef, the rate of essential amino acids was high in the order of T1, T2, T3 and T4. and the rate of amino acids in clay mineral groups was smaller than in control.In chemical component in Gom-Tang(soup of bone) made by Hanwoo steer’s leg-bone, the ranges of crude protein, ether extract, and crude ash was 0.81 to 1.24, 0.17 to 0.35 and 0.07 to 0.09%, respectively. In mineral composition, the ranges of Ca, P, Na and Mg was 14.01 to 15.77, 11.45 to 16.40, 37.92 to 49.99 and 0.26 to 0.46ppm, respectively. Chemical composition were not apparently different but mineral composition was increased in clay mineral groups than in control. Income by treatments was 967,096 to 1,524,055 Won per head for 540 days and income of clay mineral groups in comparison with control’s increased by 23.7 to 57.6 percent, and especially it was higher in bentonite and(or) Illite groups than others. According to the above results it may be concluded that clay mineral to growing-fattening Hanwoo steers can be improved the meat quantity, meat quality and income. Especially the effect of bentonite and illite is large and can be recommended for usage to improve animal performance as feed additives of growing-fattening Hanwoo steers.
