초록
본 연구는 혼합 생균제의 첨가가 산란계와 육계의 생산성과 소장내 미생물, 면역체계에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 실시하였다. 시험 1은 800수의 82주령 산란계(Hy-Line Brown$^{(R)}$)를 5처리로 구성하여 실시하였다. 각각의 처리는 대조구, 항생제구(avilamycin 6 ppm), 생균제 PB-M(Micro-ferm$^{(R)}$) 0.2%구, PB-L (Lactto-sacc$^{(R)}$) 0.1%구, PB-Y(Y University probiotics) 0.2%구로 구성하여, 8반복 반복당 20수씩 완전 임의 배치하여 자유 섭식케 하였으며, 일반적인 점등 관리(자연 일조+조명= 16 h)를 실시하였다. 시험 2에서는 육계(Ross$^{(R)}$) 1,000수를 공시하여 시험 1과 같은 처리로 구성하여 35일간 전기(0~3주), 후기(4~5주)로 나누어 실시하였으며, 처리당 4반복을 두어 반복당 50수씩 나누어 배치하였다. 시험 1에서는 계란 생산지수들 즉 일계 산란율과 생산지수, 난중, 연파란율, 사료 섭취량, 사료 요구율은 처리구 사이에서 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 강도와 난각 두께는 유의적인 차이가 있었는데, 항생제구와 생균제 처리구에서 증가하는 경향이 있었다. PB-Y구는 난각 강도, 난각 두께, 난각색, 난황색, Haugh unit에서 가장 높았는데 유의한 영향은 미치지 못했다. 시험 2에서는 전기간(0~5주) 증체량 및 폐사율은 처리구 사이에서 유의적인 차이는 없었지만, 0~3주 기간동안 PB-Y의 증체량이 대조구와 항생제구와 비교하여 낮게 나왔다. 전기간(0~5주)에서 항생제구의 사료 섭취량, 생산지수는 가장 높았고, 사료 요구율은 대조구보다 낮게 나왔다. 생균제 처리구들은 대조구와 비교하여 사료 섭취량과 사료 요구율에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 시험 1에서 백혈구 수치 즉, 백혈구, 호중구, 림프구, 단핵구, 호산구, 스트레스지수는 산란계에서 유의적인 차이가 있었다. 항생제구와 생균제구는 모든 수치에서 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 시험 2에서는 오직 스트레스지수에서만 항생제구에서 유의적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 시험 1에서 IgG 농도는 PB-M과 PB-L구에서 유의적으로 증가하였다. E. coli 수는 항생제구, PB-L구, 그리고 PB-Y구에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 시험 2에서 조지방 이용률이 생균제 처리구에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 결론적으로 산란계에서는 생균제의 처리구들에서 난각 두께와 강도가 증가하였고, 육계에서는 생산 지수는 증가하고, 사료 요구율은 감소하였다. 백혈구 지수는 산란계에서 항생제와 생균제 처리구에서 증가하는 경향이 있었다. E. coli는 산란계에서 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 육계에서는 생균제 처리구들이 조지방 이용률에서 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 혈액지수와 소장내 미생물은 육계보다 산란계에서 더 예민하게 반응하는 경향을 보였다.
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of multiple probiotics on the performance, small intestinal microflora and immune response in laying hens and broilers. In Exp.1, a total of 800, 82 wk old Hy-line Brown$^{(R)}$ laying hens were assigned to one of the following five dietary treatment; Control, Antibiotics (avilamycin 6 ppm), Probiotics; PB-M (Micro-ferm$^{(R)}$ 0.2%), PB-L (Lacto-sacc$^{(R)}$ 0.1%), PB-Y (Y University probiotics 0.2%). Each treatment was replicated eight times with 20 birds in each replicate and two birds were housed in each cage. Twenty birds units were arranged according to completely randomized block design. Feeding trial lasted 6 wk under 16 h lighting regimen. The Exp. 2, was conducted with a total of 1,000 broilers chicks (Ross$^{(R)}$). They were divided into five treatments, same as those of Exp. 1. Birds were fed starter (0~3 wk) and grower (4~5 wk) diets. Each treatment was replicated four times with 50 birds per pen comprising of deep litter. In Exp. 1, egg production parameters, such as hen-day and hen-house egg production, egg weight, broken and soft shell egg production, feed intake and feed conversion were not significantly different among treatments. However, strength and thickness of eggshell were significantly (P<0.05) different. Among the probiotics, PB-Y showed the highest strength and thickness of eggshell. Eggshell color, egg yolk color and Haugh unit were not significantly influenced. In Exp. 2, overall weight gain (0~5 wk) and mortality were not significantly different among treatments. However, weight gain of birds from PB-Y treatment during starter (0~3 wk) was significantly lower than the birds from Control and Antibiotic treatment. During the whole period (0~5 wk), birds from Antibiotics treatment had higher feed intake and Production Index (PI) and lower feed conversion than birds from Control treatment. Probiotics treatments were not significantly different from the Control on feed intake and feed conversion. In Exp.1, there were significant (P<0.05) differences in leukocytes parameters, such as white blood cell (WBC), hetrophil (HE), lymphocytes (LY), monocyte (MO), eosinophil (EO) and stress index (SI; HE/LY) in the blood of layers. Birds from Antibiotics and probiotics treatments tended to increase these parameters. In Exp. 2, however, only SI was significantly (P<0.05) decreased in Antibiotics treatments. Concentration of serum immunoglobulin (IgG) were higher (P<0.05) in PB-M and PB-Y treatments when compared with Control treatment in Exp. 1. The population of E. coli significantly (P<0.05) decreased in birds from Antibiotics, PB-L and PB-Y treatments when compared with birds from Control treatment in Exp. 1. Metalbolizability of crude fat decreased significantly (P<0.05) in birds from probiotic treatments in Exp. 2. It was concluded that the response of probiotics on the productivity of layers and broilers were different. Probiotics increased strength and thickness of eggshell in layers, and decreased feed conversion and increased PI in broilers. Leukocytes and IgG tended to increase by supplementation of antibiotics and probiotics in layers. Intestinal E. coli tended to decrease in layers. Digestibility of crude fat of diet decreased in probiotics treatments broilers. Parameters of blood and microbial were more sensitive in layers than broilers.
