초록

본 연구에서는 육계의 성비가 행동 및 복지지표에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사하였다. 암수의 성비를 0:100 (T1), 25:75(T2), 50:50 (T3), 75:25 (T4) 및 100:0 (T5)의 5 처리를 하여서 4주간 조사하였다. 처리구에서 전체 행동 중 resting 행동 빈도가 74.4% 이상으로 가장 많이 차지하였다. 그 외 pecking 행동이 5.39∼23.07%, standing 행동이 1.78∼24.75%, moving 행동이 0.59∼11.46%로 나타났다. Pecking, standing resting 및 moving 행동 빈도는 성비 및 암수간에 유의한 차이는 인정되지 않았다(P>0.05). 그러나 pecking, resting 및 moving 행동 빈도는 일령의 변화에 따라서 유의한 차이가 인정되었다(P<0.05). Gait, foot pad 및 hock burn score는 성비의 차이에 따른 영향을 받지 않았지만, 모든 처리구에서 수컷보다 암컷에서 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 21일령과 35일령에서의 발톱의 길이는 성비에 따라서, 또는 암수간에 차이는 인정되지 않았다. TI-reaction은 21령이 35일령보다, 암컷이 수컷보다 낮아지는 경향이 인정되었다. 본 연구에서 T4 처리구의 hock burn score, 발톱의 길이 및 TI-reaction이 다른 처리구보다 낮아지는 경향이 인정되었다. 결론적으로 육계를 암수 혼합 사육할 때, 암수의 성비는 육계의 복지지표에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 생각된다.

The effect of sex ratio on behavior and welfare indexes in broiler chickens was investigated. Five variants of the sex ratio (male to female), namely, 100:0 (T1), 75:25 (T2), 50:50 (T3), 25:75 (T4) and 0:100 (T5) were tested in broilers between the ages of 7 to 35 days. It was found that the most common behavior in all sex ratios was resting behavior, ranging over 74.4 % of total behavioral frequency. The ranges of other behavior traits of total behavior traits were as follows: pecking, 5.4 to 23.1 %; standing, 1.8 to 24.8 %, and moving, 0.6 to 11.5 %. The behavioral frequency of resting, pecking, standing and moving were not affected by the sex ratio and between male and female. But the percentage of pecking, resting and moving behavioral frequency was significantly different by the age of birds (P<0.05). Age of birds had no effect on standing behavioral frequency. It seems that gait, food pad and hock burn score were no affect by sex ratio but tend to decreased in female than male. Claw length of 21 and 35 days was not affected by sex ratio and between male and female. The duration of tonic immobility (TI- reaction) was tend to decreased age of 21 than 35 days, and female than male. Both male and female of the study, hock burn score, claw length and TI-reaction were tend to lower in T4 than other treatments. The results suggest that, when male and female broilers are reared together, sex ratio can influence broiler welfare indexes in this study.
