본 연구의 목적은 철 강화제가 첨가된 사료를 산란계에 적용하여 생산성 및 계란의 화학적 조성에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 실시하였다. 사양시험은 30주령 갈색 테트란 산란계 198수를 공시하였으며, 시험사료는 NRC(1994)의 산란계 영양소 요구량에 맞추어 기초사료를 배합하고, 황산 제 1철(FeSO$_4$$.$ 7$H_2O$: FE)을 사용하여 사양표준 권장량인 Fe 45 mg/kg을 첨가한 대조구 (FE-45), Fe 90mg/kg 첨가한 처리구 \circled2 (FE-90), Fe 180mg/kg 첨가한 처리구 \circled3 (FE-180), Saccharomyces cerevisiae R100 (yeast mutant ; YM, 철 함량 200mg/kg)을 대조구의 철 함량 기준으로 45mg/kg 첨가한 처리구 \circled4 (YM-45), 90mg/kg 첨가한 처리구 \circled5 (YM-90), 180mg/kg 첨가한 처리구 \circled6 (YM-180), Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2805-a7 TYFHLAG-1 (ferritin containing yeast ; YF, 철 함량 500mg/kg)을 대조구의 철 함량 기준으로 45mg/kg 첨가한 처리각 \circled7 (YF-45), 90mg/kg 첨가한 처리구 \circled8 (YF-90) 및 180mg/kg 첨가한 처리구 \circled9 (YF-180)로 한 총 9처리구 4반복, 반복당 6수씩 임의배치하여 7주간 사양시험을 수행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 산란율은 YF-180 처리구가 가장 높았으며, 대조구(FE-45)가 가장 낮게 나타나 처리구간의 유의차를 보였다 (P<0.05). 난중과 산란량은 YF-180 처리구에서 FE-90 처리구 및 대조구(FE-45)와 비교하여 유의적으로 높게 평가되었다(P<0.05). 사료요구율은 YM-90 처리구가 가장 높았고, YF-45 처리구가 가장 낮았으며, 처리구간에도 유의차를 보였다 (P<0.05). 난각두께는 YF-180 처리구가 가장 두꺼웠으며, FE-90 처리구에서 가장 얇게 나타나 처리구간의 유의차를 보였다(P<0.05). 난각 강도는 YM-45 처리구가 가장 강했으며, YM-45 처리구가 가장 약해서 처리구간의 유의차를 보였다(P<0.05). 난황 cholesterol은 대조구(FE-45)가 가장 높았으며, YF-45 처리구가 가장 낮게 나타나 처리구간의 유의적 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 결론적으로, 유기철을 산란계용 사료에 첨가하였을 경우, 산란계의 생산성을 향상시키며, 계란의 화학적 조성을 개선시키는 것으로 사료된다.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of iron reinforcing agent on the performance in laying hens for seven weeks. One hundred ninety eight 30-wk-old Brown Tetran layers were assigned to 9 treatments: control containing 45 mg Fe from iron sulfate per kg diet (FE-45), FE-90 (control multiplied two times), FE-180 (control multiplied four times), YM-45 containing 45mg Fe from yeast mutant, YM-90 (YM-45 multiplied two times), YM-180 (YM-45 multiplied four times), YF-45 containing 45mg Fe from ferritin containing yeast, YF-90 (YF-45 multiplied two times), YF-180 (YF-45 multiplied four times) in the experiment. Each treatment had four replications of 6 birds each. In the average egg production, the YF-180 was highest and the FE-45 (the control) was lowest; the YM-180, YF-90, and YF-180 were significantly (P<0.05) higher than the control. In the comparisons of egg weight and egg mass, the YF-180 was significantly higher (P<0.05) than the FE-90 or the control. In the FCR, the YM-90 was highest and the YF-45 was lowest. There was no significant difference between the control and YM-90 although the YF-45 was significantly (P<0.05) lower in FCR than the control. In the eggshell thickness, the YF-180 was the thickest and the FE-90 was the thinnest; the YF-45 or the YF-180 was significantly thicker (P<0.05) than the control. In the eggshell strength, the YF-45 was the strongest and the YM-45 was the weakest; the YM-90, YF-45, and YF-180 were significantly stronger (P<0.05) than the control. In the cholesterol level of egg yolk, the control (FE-45) was the highest and the YF-45 was the lowest; there was a significantly different (P<0.05) between these two treatments. In conclusion, in case of adding organic iron to feed for layers, it gives improvement on performance of layers and develop chemical composition of eggs.
