Abstract

The effects of concentrate to roughage ratios on duration and frequencies of rumination and chewing in Hanwoo steers were determined. Five Hanwoo steers fitted with rumen fistula were used to evaluate the effects of concentrate to rice straw ratio on eating and ruminating behavior. Experimental diets were formulated with different concentrate to rice straw ratios(50 : 50, 60: 40, 70: 30, 80: 20, 90: 10). When level of roughage feed was increased by 10, 20, 30, 40 to 50% of total dry matter of the diet, total chewing time was increased linearly from 286.99, 321.09, 390.29, 406.63 to 423.30 min/d, which was mainly due to increased ruminating time from 204.91 to 342.80 min/day. However, the level of roughage did not affect eating time. The number of chews per day for rumination and number of chews per rumination were significantly decreased(p < 0.05) as roughage level was increased. In summary, the duration and frequencies of rumination in Hanwoo increased with increased rice straw level.

농후사료와 조사료의 비율이 한우의 반추행동, 저작시간 및 저작빈도에 미치는 효과를 조사하기 위하여, 반추위 누관이 장착되고, 턱 주위에 트랜스듀서가 설치된 한우 성우 5두를 공시하였다. 사료는 농후사료와 볏짚의 급여비율을 50 : 50, 60 : 40, 70 : 30, 80 : 20과 90 : 10으로 급여하면서 사료섭취와 반추행동의 변화를 조사하였다. 사료 중 조사료의 비율을 전체 건물량의 10, 20, 30, 40과 50%로 증가시켰으F 때 일일 총 저작시간은 286.99분에서 423.30분/일로 직선적으로 증가하였는데, 이것은 반추시간이 204.91에서 342.80분/일로 증가한 것에 주로 기인하였다. 그러나 농후사료의 급여수준에 따른 사료 섭취 시간의 차이는 없었으며, 일일 반추시 저작횟수와 반추당 저작횟수는 농후사료의 급여 비율의 증가에 의하여 감소되었다.
