Abstract

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of dietary copper levels on performance, carcass characteristics, and economical analysis in Hanwoo steers. Fifteen Hanwoo steers weighing about 300kg were randomly allotted into one of three treatments. The three treatments consisted of Control(7mg Cu/kg feed), TI(12mg Cu/kg feed) and TII(17mg Cu/kg feed). Copper was formulated with concentrate from copper sulfate($CuSO_4$) and animals were fed the diets supplemented with copper from 300kg untill about 630 kg of body weight. Dietary copper levels did not affect daily weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency during the whole feeding period. Dressing percentage, rib eye area and backfat thickness were not different between animals fed the diets supplemented with copper. Animals fed the diets supplemented with copper received the same B grade in yield grade. Animals fed the diets supplemented with copper received same marbling score. Beef color, fat color, texture and maturity were not affected by Cu supplementation in diet. Animals received the same first grade between treatments in quality grade. Animals fed the diet supplemented with 12mg of copper per kg diet was higher in profit by 13.3% than animals fed the control diet. According to these results, it may be concluded that performance, yield and quality grade were not affected by the Cu levels of 7 to 17mg per kg feed but crude income was enhanced when Hanwoo steers were fed the diet containing 12mg Cu/kg feed.

한우 거세우에 대한 Cu의 급여효과를 규명하기 위하여 농후사료중의 Cu 수준을 사료 kg당 7 mg, 12 mg 또는 17 mg의 3개 처리구에 각 5두씩 계 15두를 공시하여 435일간 비육시험을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 일당증체량은 비육전기, 비육중기 및 비육후기 전기간에 걸처 Cu 7mg, 12mg 또는 17 mg 급여구간에 차이가 없었고 비육 전기간 평균에서도 각각 0.75, 0.76, 0.75kg으로서 처리구간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 사료섭취량은 처리구간에 비육전기에는 9.21-9.64 kg, 비육중기에는 9.53-9.75kg, 비육후기에는 10.09-10.93 kg으로 비육시기별로 큰 차이가 없었고 비육전기간에는 9.86-10.21 kg으로 처리구간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 사료효율은 비육전기에는 11.08-11.72, 비육중기에는 13.60-14.34, 비육후기에는 14.01- 15.20으로 처리구간에 큰 차이는 없었고 비육전기간에서도 13.31-13.99로 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 한우 거세우에게 Cu를 급여하였을 때 도체율은 58.4-59.2%로 처리구간에 차이는 없었다. 육량등급중에서 등지방두께는 8.2-10.4 mm로 처리구간에 큰 차이는 없었다. 배최장근단면적은 대조구와 12 mg 및 17 mg 급여구가 각각 78.4, 82.2 및 79.8 $cm^2$로 처리구간에 차이는 없었다. 육량지수는 68.10-68.91로서 처리구간에 차이는 없었다. 육량등급은 모두 B 등급으로서 처리구간에 차이가 없었다. 육질등급에서 가장 중요한 요인인 근내지방도는 Cu 7mg, 12mg 또는 17mg 급여구가 각각 3.6, 4.8 및 4.2로서 12 mg 첨가구가 약간 높게 나타났으나 처리구간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 육색, 지방색, 조직감 그리고 성숙도 등에서도 Cu 첨가구간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 육질등급은 처리구간에 모두 1등급을 받았고 Cu 수준간에 차이가 없었다. 경제성분석 결과 조수익은 대조구에서는 두당 2,577,483원, Cu 12mg 급여구는 2,920,432원, Cu 17mg 급여구는 2,653,227원으로써 Cu 12 mg 급여구가 7mg 급여구에 비해 13.3%, 17 mg 급여구에 비해 10.1%가 높게 나타났다. 이상과 같은 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 한우 거세우에게 농후사료 중에 Cu를 사료 kg당 7, 12 또는 17 mg을 넣어 주었을 때 성장, 육량 및 육질등급에서는 처리간에 차이가 없었으나 경제성에서는 12 mg 급여구가 조수익이 높았다.
