Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effects of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana bertoni) and charcoal supplementation on growth performance, immune response and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs. A total of 420 pigs (LYD) were randomly allocated into 7 treatments with 3 replications. Dietary treatments were 1) T1 (basal diet), 2) T2 (basal diet+0.3% stevia), 3) T3 (basal diet+0.6% stevia), 4) T4 (basal diet+0.3% charcoal), 5) T5 (basal diet+0.6% charcoal), 6) T6 (basal diet+0.3% stevia+0.3% charcoal) and 7) T7 (basal diet+0.6% stevia+0.6% charcoal). During the experimental period, average daily gain (ADG) was higher in T2 and T6 groups than the other treatments (p<0.05). Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was higher in T6 group compared to the others (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in total cholesterol level and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) activity of blood among treatments. In glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) activity, T3, T5, T6 and T7 groups showed lower values (p<0.05) compared to T1. Insulin-like growth factor-1 concentration was higher in T2 and T6 groups than the others (p<0.05), but there were no significant differences in immunoglobulin G, lymphocyte, eosinophil, basophil and atypical lymph levels among treatments. In neutrophil, T6 showed higher level compared to the others (p<0.05). In the carcass characteristics, T6 showed higher level of a carcass grade compared to the other treatments. However, carcass length did not show any significant difference among treatments. As a result, dietary supplementation of 0.3% stevia and 0.3% charcoal showed higher ADG, higher FCR and better immune response resulting in better growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs.

본 실험은 스테비아와 숯의 급여가 돼지의 사양성적, 면역력 및 도체특성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 시험구는 일반기초사료 급여구(T1)를 대조구로 하여, 스테비아 0.3%(T2)와 0.6% 급여구(T3), 숯 0.3%(T4)와 0.6% 급여구(T5), 스테비아 0.3%와 숯 0.3% 혼합급여구(T6) 및 스테비아 0.6%와 숯 0.6% 혼합급여구(T7)로 하여 돼지의 사양성적 및 도체특성을 조사하였다. 스테비아와 숯을 급여한 돼지의 사양성적에 미치는 영향은 T6에서 높은 일당증체량을 나타내었고, 사료요구율은 T3에서 높은 수준을 나타내었으며, 사료효율은 T6에서 높은 수준을 나타내었다. 혈액 내 총콜레스테롤 함량은 T7에서 다소 높은 함량을 나타내었고, GOT 활성은 T2에서 높은 수준을 나타내었다. 한편, GPT 활성은 T3에서 높은 수준을 나타내었다. 숯과 스테비아를 급여한 돼지의 호르몬과 면역특성에서는 T6에서 높은 IGF-1의 수준을 나타내었으며, IgG 에서는 모든 처리구에서 유사한 수준이었다. 한편, 백혈구(WBC) 수치에서 호중구(Ne)는 T6에서 높은 수준을 나타내었고 림프구(Ly)에서는 T3에서 높은 수준이었다. 그 외백혈구 수치에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 도체특성에서는 A등급의 출현율은 T6에서 64%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 등지방두께는 T2에서 높게 나타났다. 그 외 도체장은 각 처리구 유사한 수준을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과에서 스테비아 0.3%와 숯 0.3%의 혼합 첨가급여구(T6)가 대조구와 다른 처리구와 비교 시 사양성적에서 우수하였으며, 도체특성에서도 우수한 결과를 나타내는 것으로 사료되었다.
