Abstract

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding Bupleurum falcatum L.(BFL) on performance, blood component and hormonal secretion in broiler breeder hens. A total of 800 broiler breeder hens were allotted to four treatments(BFL ; 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0%) with four replications for eight weeks. Weight gain was not significantly different between the groups in growing period($20{\sim}24$ weeks), but egg production and egg mass of broiler breeder hens fed BFL were significantly(p<0.05) higher than those of the control groups in laying period($24{\sim}28$ weeks). Dietary BFL did not affect serum triglyceride concentration, whereas serum cholesterol concentration was significantly increased(p<0.05) in 2.0% BFL-fed groups. No statistical differences were found in serum glucose, Ca, P, Mg, total protein, albumin, GGT, AST, ALT and BUN concentrations. However, albumin/globulin ratio was statistically higher in BFL-fed groups compared to the control groups(p<0.05). Serum estrogen concentrations were significantly increased by feeding a diet containing 0.5% BFL, but progesterone were not influenced. Serum IGF-I of BFL groups was greater than that of control groups at 28 weeks(p<0.05). In conclusion, the results suggest that the dietary addition of BFL into broiler breeder diets improved egg production, serum estrogen and IGF-I concentration, and decreased serum cholesterol concentration and albumin/globulin ratio.

이 연구는 시호의 첨가가 육용종계의 생산성, 혈액의 성상, 호르몬 분비에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해서 8주간 실시하였다. 총 800수의 20주령 육용종계를 4개 처리구에 각각 200수씩 배치하였고, 시호는 사료에 0, 0.5, 0.1, 0.2% 수준으로 첨가하여 급여하였다. 기초사료의 영양소 함량은 육성기와 산란기로 구분하여 각각 CP 15.0%, ME 2,900 kcal/kg 수준과 CP 17.5%, ME 2,800 kcal/kg 수준으로 하였다. 시호를 육성후기에($20{\sim}24$주) 급여하여 육용종계의 증체량을 조사한 결과, 처리구간에 차이는 없었으나 산란초기($24{\sim}28$주)의 산란율과 산란량은 시호 급여구에서 대조구에 비하여 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 시호의 첨가에 따른 육용종계의 혈중 변화를 관찰한 결과, 혈중 콜레스테롤 농도의 경우 대조구에 비하여 시호 2.0% 급여구에서 가장 낮은 수치를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 이와는 다르게 혈중 중성지방 농도에서는 시호의 급여 효과는 관찰되지 않았다. 반면, 혈중 헤마토크릿, 포도당, 칼슘, 인 및 마그네슘 농도에서 시호의 첨가 효과는 관찰할 수 없었다. 혈중 총 단백질과 알부민 함량 또한 시호 급여에 따른 변동은 관찰할 수 없었으나 알부민/글로불린 비율은 시호 급여구가 유의하게 감소하였다(p< 0.05). 혈중 GGT, AST, ALT 및 BUN 농도에서도 시호 급여구와 대조구간의 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 28주령 육용종계의 혈중 에스트로겐 농도는 시호 급여구가 전체적으로 증가하는 양상을 보였으며, 그 중 시호 0.5% 급여구의 에스트로겐 농도가 현저하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 또한 IGF-I 농도는 시호 급여구가 대조구와 비교하여 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 이 연구의 결과 육용종계 사료에 시호의 첨가는 생산능력을 개선하고, 혈중 콜레스테롤 농도와 A/G 비율을 감소시켰으며, 에스트로겐과 IGF-I 분비를 증가시켰다.
