Abstract

This study was conducted to compare the effect of feeding molting and fasting molting on the performance, egg quality, and visceral organs in laying hens for animal welfare. Eighty one 62-wk-old White Leghorn hens that egg production was over 80% and average weight was $1.6{\pm}0.3\;kg$ were used in this study. Treatments were control (non-molt treatment), feeding molt treatment, and fasting molt treatment. The three treatments were administered to three replicate group of nine hens wherein each group. All treatment groups were fed the basal diet (CP 15%, ME 2,700 kal/kg) for two weeks as the adaptation period. Induced molt diets contains low CP (6.7%) and low energy (2,200 kal/kg). Test periods were 14 days for feeding molting and 10 days for fasting molting. Egg production decreased to be 0% at 10 days of feeding molting treatment, but at 2 or 3 days of fasting molting treatment. Egg production restarted after 19 days ending molt at feeding molting treatment, while after 24 days at fasting molting treatment. On the egg quality was improved at molting treatments (p<0.05) except egg yolk. Egg shell tissue was crowded at molting treatment to compare to control. Liver weights, heart weight, and oviduct weight of laying hens decreased at molting treatments (p<0.05). Finally, feeding molting might could be replaced fasting molting on the welfare and further studies were needed about molting program.

본 시험은 동물복지의 관점에서 국내 처음으로 급이 환우법을 실시하여, 절식에 의한 환우법과 환우 후 산란계의 생산성을 비교 검토하기 위해 수행하였다. 공시동물은 산란율 80% 이상, 평균 체중 $1.6{\pm}0.3\;kg$인 62주령 White Leghorn 81수를 이용하였다. 처리구는 환우처리하지 않은 미환우구를 대조구로, 절식 환우구와 급이 환우구를 시험구로, 총 3처리구를 설정하였으며, 처리구당 3반복, 반복당 9수씩 81수를 완전 임의 배치하였다. 환경 순치기 간으로서 환우 전 2주간 모든 공시계에게 동일한 산란 후기 사료(CP 15%, ME 2,700 kal)를 급여하였다. 환우 기간 중 급이 환우구 사료는 저단백질(CP 6.7%), 저에너지(ME 2,200 kal) 사료를 대조구와 동일한 양으로 급여하였다. 환우 기간은 급이 환우구 14일, 절식 환우구는 10일 동안 환우를 유도하였다. 산란율에서, 급이 환우구는 10일 동안 산란이 감소하다가 10일 후에 산란율이 0%가 되었으며, 절식구는 절식 $2{\sim}3$일째에 산란율이 0%가 되었다. 환우 기간이 끝난 후, 급이 환우구는 15일 후에 산란이 다시 시작되었으며, 비급이 환우구는 24일 후 산란이 다시 시작되었다. 계란 품질은, 환우 처리구에서 난중, 난각 두께, 난각 강도 및 하우 유니트가 개선되었으나(p<0.05), 난황색은 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 전자현미경을 이용하여 환우를 유도 한 계란의 난각 조직은 환우 처리구의 난각 조직이 비환우구보다 치밀하였다. 환우가 끝난 후 간, 심장, 난포수란관의 무게를 비교한 결과 환우 처리구에서 무게가 크게 감소하였다(p<0.05). 결론적으로, 급이 환우가 동물 복지의 관점에서 절식 환우를 대신할 수 있을 것으로 사료되나, 금후 추가적인 연구가 요구된다.
