Abstract

This experiment was conducted to examine the dietary effects of local granular ark shell(GAS) replacing limestone on egg shell quality in aged hens. A total of 200 Hy-Line Brown layers of 54-weeks-old were allotted into four treatments with five replications each. They were fed control(limestone only) 1% GAS, 2% GAS and 3% GAS diets for 6 weeks. GAS was substituted for coarse-type limestone at 0, 1, 2 or 3% of diet on weight basis. Particle sizes of limestone and GAS were within the ranges of 2~4 mm in diameters. In vitro HCl solubility of GAS was significantly lower(6.27 vs. 7.90%) compared to that of limestone(p < 0.05). The dietary treatment did not affect feed intake and egg production rate of the birds. Egg shell strength and thickness tended to be improved for birds fed the diets containing higher levels of GAS. The average egg shell strength and thickness of 2 or 3% GAS groups were significantly greater than those of the control (P < 0.05). The Tibial ash content of birds from 3% GAS group increased significantly as compared to that of the control. Tibial breaking strength, however, was not affected by the dietary treatment. Serum Ca and P contents of the birds were also not different among the dietary treatments. In conclusion, locally prepared GAS can be used as a calcium source in aged layer diet.

본 실험은 산란계의 칼슘 공급원으로서 국내산 고막조개패분(GAS)을 석회석과 대체하여 산란후기의 난각질에 미치는 영향을 조사하고, 부존 원료의 사료 자원화 가능성을 시험하기 위한 목적으로 수행하였다. 54주령 Hy-Line Brown Variety 산란계 암탉 200수를 공시하였고, Ca 3.6% 수준의 실험사료(Control)에 유사한 입자도의 GAS를 1%, 2% 및 3% 수준으로 석회석과 대체하여 첨가한 실험사료(GAS 1%, GAS 2% 및 GAS 3%)를 6주간 급여하였다. In vitro 용해도는 석회석에 비해 GAS에서 유의하게 낮은 것으로 나타났다(P < 0.05). 사료섭취량 및 난 생산성에서는 처리간에 통계적인 유의성이 있는 차이는 발견되지 않았다. GAS의 대체 수준이 증가함에 따라 주별 난각 강도 및 난각 두께가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, 전체 실험기간의 평균 난각 강도 및 두께의 결과에서는 처리간에 유의한 차이가 인정되었다(P < 0.05). 경골 파쇄 강도에서는 처리간에 큰 차이가 없었으나, 경골 내 회분 함량은 GAS 3% 급여구가 대조구에 비해 유의하게 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 혈청 내 Ca 및 P의 농도는 처리간에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 실험의 결과로부터 산란사료내 석회석을 국내산 고막조개 패분으로 대체 급여를 통해 산란후기 난각질의 긍정적인 개선 효과를 기대할 수 있으며, 산란계 사료에서 Ca 공급원으로서 부존 자원의 효율적인 활용이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.
