Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the effects of hormone injection on casting day of antler, velvet antler yield, and blood hormone concentration in elk deer and Sika deer. The study revealed that the casting day of Elk and Sika deer at medroxy progesterone acetate(MPA) injection averaged 21 days after MPA injection, which was earlier 38 and 24 days, respectively, compared control(P<0.01). The regrowth of antler in both Sika deer and Elk occurred in the MPA injection and the duration of antler growth was 2 times longer than control. The total yield of velvet antler of Elk in the control and MPA injection was 7.31 and 10.11kg and the that of sika deer was 1.00 and 1.41kg, respectively. Blood testosterone concentration of Sika deer and Elk was less than 4.0ng/ml for both at the casting and during the antler growing. Blood IGF-1 concentrations of Sika deer and Elk during the antler growing tended to increase with the same as growth curve of antler.

낙각시기는 MPA을 투여 하였을때 엘크 및 꽃사슴에서 처리 후 평균 21일에 낙각이 되었으며, 대조구에 비하여 엘크는 평균 37일 꽃사슴은 24일 낙각시기가 빨랐다(P<0.01). MPA 투여구에서는 꽃사슴과 엘크 모두 절각 후 재생뿔이 발생되었으며, 뿔 성장기간은 두 품종 모두 대조구보다 MPA 투여구가 2배정도 길었다. 녹용 총 생산량은 엘크의 경우 대조구 및 MPA 투여구가 각각 7.31, 10.11kg 이였고, 꽃사슴은 1.00, 1.41kg으로 MPA 투여구가 유의적으로 많았다.꽃사슴과 엘크사슴의 낙각이 될때의 혈중 testosterone 농도는 4.0ng/ml 이하였으며, 사슴뿔의 성장기간 동안에도 4.0ng/ml 이하를 나타내었다. 녹용 성장기의 꽃사슴과 엘크 사슴의 혈중 IGF-Ⅰ 농도는 사슴뿔의 성장곡선과 같이 IGF-Ⅰ의 농도도 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.
