Effects of Pedicle Amputation on Velvet Antler Growth in Sika Deer

육경절단이 사슴뿔의 성장에 미치는 영향

  • Published : 2006.12.31

Abstract

This study carried out to investigate the effect of cutting stimulation on time of cutting, yield and length of antler in Sika deer. There was no significance between surgical stimulation and length of antler, but length was the longest in one side cutting group and the shortest in both side cutting group. Development of point was increased as the number of wounds in the second year (P<0.05). Time of casting was 2 weeks earlier in one side cutting group (P<0.05) than in both sides cutting group. Yields of velvet antler were 148±23g when pedicle was not cut, and 126±61g, 179±63g, 170g, and 48±25g when pedicle was cut by 0.3cm, 0.4cm, 0.5cm and 0.6cm thickness, respectively. In case of 0.6cm, yield was significantly smaller than others (P<0.05). The most desirable thickness of pedicle cut was 0.4~0.5mm. Yield of antler was increased as the size of wound in the first year, and 588, 790 and 657g in control, one-cut and both-cut, respectively. Yields of antler in one-cut is significantly high (P<0.05).

본 연구는 육경절단이 사슴뿔 성장에 있어서 낙각시기, 녹용생산량, 녹용길이에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 실시하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 육경의 외과적 자극과 녹용의 길이성장은 유의성은 없었으나, 2차 년도에는 한쪽 절단구가 가장 길었고 양쪽 절단구가 가장 짧았다, 가지의 발생은 1차 년도에서 외과적 상처가 많을수록 증가하였다(P<0.05). 낙각 시기는 한쪽 절단구가 2주일정도 빨랐다(P<0.05). 육경의 절단두께별 녹용생산량은 육경을 절단하지 않은 구가 148±23g 이였으며, 절단 두께가 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 및 0.6cm로 절단하였을 때 절단된 육경 쪽의 녹용생산량은 126±61.4 179±63.3 170.0±0.0 및 48±25.4g으로 절단두께는 0.4~0.5cm 범위가 가장 양호하였고, 절단두께가 0.6cm 이상인 경우 유의하게 줄어들었다(P<0.05). 녹용생산량은 1년차에서 외과적 상처가 많을수록 증가하였으며, 2차 년도에서는 대조구, 육경 한쪽 절단구 및 양쪽 절단구가 각각 588, 790 및 657g으로 한쪽 절단구가 유의적으로 녹용생산량이 많았다(P<0.05).이상의 결과에서 육경을 절단하면 가지의 발생이 많아지고 녹용의 생산량이 증가하는 것으로 사료된다.
