Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding induced molting on the visceral organs and blood component profile in laying hens and designed to test 400 flocks of 60 week old Leghorn laying hens for 34 weeks. A total of four molting treatment methods by including the molted with customary molting by fasting method (c), feeding single diet of corn (T1), feeding single diet of wheat bran (T2) and feeding single diet of alfalfa meal (T3) were tested, and each treatment was repeated for 5 times, and 20 laying hens were randomly assigned in an cage for each repeat. As the result of the experiment, ovary was $2.03{\sim}6%$ and oviduct was $2.51{\sim}3.47%$ in visceral organs for body weight at pre-molting term, but there was no significant difference. At post-molting, no significant difference was found, ovary was $0.25{\sim}0.41%$, uterus of control, T1, T2 and T3 was 1.12%, 0.82%, 0.48% and 0.90%, respectively. T2 was significantly lower than control, T3 (p<0.05) at the 50% of egg production. Ovary was $2.20{\sim}2.60%$ and oviduct was $2.98{\sim}3.45%$. In addition, ovary was $2.65{\sim}3.01%$, oviduct was $3.23{\sim}3.64%$ at the peak egg production, but there was no significant difference by non-feeding and feeding molting treatments. In blood component profile, cholesterol was $179.8{\sim}245.7\;mg/dL$ at pre-molting, but there was no significant difference and at post-molting, concentration of cholestrol in control, T1, T2 and T3 was 353.6, 229.1, 261.8 and 300.6 mg/dL, respectively. T1 was significantly lower than control and T3 (p<0.05). In addition, first laying day was $228.1{\sim}271.8\;mg/dL$, 50% of egg production was $236.5{\sim}284.8\;mg/dL$, there was no significant difference. Concentration of cholestrol in control, T1, T2 and T3 was 324.1, 591.6, 363.0 and 315.6 mg/dL, respectively, at the peak egg production period. T1 was significantly higher than other treatment (p<0.05).
본 시험은 비절식 강제 환우 가 산란계의 장기 비율의 변화 및 혈액 성상에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 60주령 Leghorn종 400수를 공시하여 34주간 실시하였다. 처리구는 관행적으로 절식한 대조구(C), 옥수수 단일사료 급여(T1), 밀기울 단일 사료 급여(T2) 및 알팔파 단일 사료를 급여(T3)한 4처리로서, 처리구당 5반복, 반복당 20수씩 철제 케이지에 완전임의 배치하였다. 시험결과, 생체중 대비 장기 비율은 환우 개시시 난소는 $2.03{\sim}2.86%$, 난관은 $2.51{\sim}3.47%$로 처리구간에 유의차를 보이지 않았으며, 환우 종료시에는 난소의 경우 $0.25{\sim}0.41%$로서 차이가 없었으나, 난관은 대조구, T1구, T2 구 및 T3구가 각각 1.15%, 0.80%, 0.46% 및 0.89%로서 T2구가 대조구, T3구보다 유의적으로 낮았다(P<0.05). 50% 산란시 난소는 $2.19{\sim}2.60%$, 난관은 $3.00{\sim}3.50%$였으며, 산란피크시에 난소의 경우 2.65{\sim}3.01%, 난관은 $3.25{\sim}3.65%$로서 절식과 비절식에 따른 처리간에 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 혈액성상에서 Cholesterol은 환우 개시시 $179.8{\sim}245.7\;mg/dL$로서 처리간에 차이가 없었고, 환우 종료시에는 대조구 353.6, T1구 229.1, T2구 261.8 및 T3구 300.6 mg/dL로서 T1구가 대조구 및 T3구보다 유의적으로 낮았으며(P<0.05), 시산시에는 $228.1{\sim}271.8\;mg/dL$, 50% 산란시에는 $236.5{\sim}284.8\;mg/dL$로서 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 산란 피크시에는 대조구, T1구, T2구 및 T3구가 각각 324.1, 591.6, 363.0 및 315.6 mg/dL로서 T1구가 다른 처리구에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05).
