Abstract

There are approximately 1,500 broiler farms in Korea, each raising 55,000 birds. Ninety-five percent of the farms are contracted with Integration Company. According to the Korean broiler performance index, broilers in Korea are marketed at 32 days with 1.52 kg of body weight. In contrast, the market age and body weight of broilers are 47 days/2.8 kg in the United States and 42 days/2.5 kg in Europe. Because of the younger market age of the Korean broiler, the pre-starter feed is important. Chicks exhibit poor absorption of dietary nutrients up to 7 days after hatching due to an immature digestive system and low enzyme secretion rate and activity. At the beginning of hatching, chicks obtain their nutrients from the egg yolk sac. It is highly recommended that chicks, after consuming the nutrients in the egg yolk sac, are given supplemented pre-starter feed to increase early growth rates and improve the performance of broiler production. Pre-starter nutrient requirements are not expressed in NRC, so Korean feeding standards for poultry and commercial breeding companies determine the nutrient requirements of pre-starter broiler chickens. Three approaches are followed to formulate specially designed pre-starter feeds for broiler chicks: (i) selective use of raw materials, (ii) proper standards of nutrient supply, and (iii) application of feed additives such as exogenous enzymes. In the selection of raw materials, those with high digestibility can be used. The absorption rate of carbohydrates in grains can be increased through feed processing at high temperature and high pressure. Soy proteins and fish meal can also be added as protein sources. As an energy source, vegetable oils are preferred over animal fats because of the former's high digestibility. It is suggested that the levels of proteins and amino acids are higher in pre-starter feed than in starter feed. With regard to energy, the sources of energy are more important than the levels of energy in feed. Feed additives such as exogenous enzymes can be used to improve nutrient digestibility. In addition, organic acids and plant extracts can be used as alternatives to animal growth promoters to stimulate immunity and prevent diseases. The growth performance of broilers is affected by various factors, such as management and disease control, in addition to the nutritional strategy; however, nutritional strategies play an important role in improving the productivity of broilers. Therefore, nutritional strategies, along with management and disease control, are required for improving the productivity of broilers in Korea.

본 총설은 부화 후 1주일간 급여되는 초이사료 적용의 필요성 및 배합설계방안을 제시하여 육계생산성을 증대하는 방안을 살펴보고자 한다. 육계는 지난 수년 간 괄목할 만한 증체 속도 증가, 출하일령 단축 그리고 사료효율 향상을 보 여줬다. 이는 육종 개량, 사육 환경 개선, 과학적인 사양관리기법 적용 및 적정 영양공급 등의 결과이며, 한국의 경우 다른 나라에 비해 육계사육기간이 매우 짧아, 부화 후 약 31일령이면 출하가 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 육계초기 1주일간은 전체 사육기간의 20% 이상을 차지할 뿐만 아니라, 초기성장이 출하체중과 일령 그리고 사료효율에 지대한 영향을 미치고 있으므로 초기 1주일간의 사료공급을 통한 생산성 향상이 매우 중요하다. 생후 7일령까지의 어린 병아리는 소화기관 미발달과 효소의 분비 및 활력 부족으로 사료 내 영양소의 소화 흡수 및 이용률이 낮은 편임을 고려하여, 초이사료의 급여를 위한 영양적 접근 방법으로는 크게 3가지로 나눌 수 있다. 첫 번째로는 단순히 영양수준을 올리기보다는 양질의 원료 사용, 특히 단백질과 탄수화물 이용률 증진을 위 한 선택적인 원료 사용 및 원료의 가공처리가 필요하다. 에너지 공급의 경우, 에너지 수준 못지않게 에너지 공급원이 중요한데, 특히 불포화지방산공급원인 식물성이 기름 첨가를 권장한다. 영양소 공급의 경우, 단백질 함량을 증가시키기보다는 이상적 아미노산 비율에 따른 필수아미노산 공급이 중요하다. 필요 시 효소제를 비롯한 항생제 등의 대체 물질 첨가를 통해 항병력이나 소화흡수율을 향상시키는 방안을 고려해 볼 수 있다. 아울러 기타 제한 아미노산의 충족에 대한 연구와 부화 후 7일간 사료 내 전해질 균형의 영향에 대한 연구가 앞으로 필요하다.
