Abstract

Sixty Hanwoo steers(15 months of age; 409±29.2 kg of BW) were used to evaluate the effects of dietary vitamins A and D restriction on carcass characteristics. Steers were allotted randomly to 1 of 4 treatments: Control(diet supplemented with vitamins A, D and E), -A (diet supplemented with vitamins D and E), -D(diet supplemented with vitamins A and E) and -AD(diet supplemented with vitamin E only). Steers were fed the experimental diet for a period of 8 months(until 23 months of age), and then supplemented with vitamins A and D at 0.05% of the diet(as fed-basis) from 24 to 26 months of age, and at 0.1% of the diet from 27 to 31 months of age(harvesting time). Dietary restriction of vitamins A and D did not affect DM intake, daily gain and feed conversion ratio. But the concentration of serum retinol was significantly(P<0.05) decreased by vitamin A restriction with the lowest concentration being seen at 23 months of age(345.0 ㎍/L and 326.7㎍/L for control and -D treatment versus 169.3 ㎍/L and 175.4 ㎍/L for -A and -AD treatments). The serum concentration of 25(OH)D3 was also decreased significantly(P<0.05) by vitamin D restriction and the lowest concentration was seen at 18 months of age(53.7ng/ml and 61.8ng/ml for control and - A treatment versus 24.0 ng/ml and 24.5 ng/ml for -D and -AD treatments). After the restriction period of vitamins A and D, the concentrations of retinol and 25(OH)D3 for - A, -D and -AD treatments were recovered at those of control. Dietary restriction of vitamins A and D did not affect carcass weight, backfat thickness, ribeye area, quality grade and yield grade. But marbling score was significantly increased by vitamin A restriction compared with control(6.73, 6.87 and 5.73 for -A, -AD and control, respectively). The results of the present study suggested that dietary vitamin A restriction could improve marbling score in Hanwoo steers.

본 연구는 비타민 A와 D의 공급제한이 거세 한우의 육질등급에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 수행하였다. 비육전기(15개월령) 거세 한우 60두를 총 4개의 처리구[대조구(C), 비타민 A 제한구(-A), 비타민 D 제한구(-D)와 비타민 A 및 D 제한구(-AD)]에 15두씩 배치하여, 15개월령부터 23개월령까지 총 8개월 동안 처리구에 따라 비타민 A 및 D를 첨가하지 않는 방법으로 비타민 공급을 제한하였다. 이후 24개월령부터 26개월령까지는 비타민 A 및 D를 사료 원물의 0.05% 첨가, 27개월령부터 출하까지는 0.1% 첨가하여 비타민 A 및 D 공급이 제한되지 않도록 하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 종합하면, 15개월령 거세 한우에게 비타민 A와 D의 공급을 8개월동안 제한시킨 결과 1일 건물 섭취량에는 영향을 미치지 않았고 또한 체중, 일당증체량 및 사료 요구율에도 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나 혈중 retinol 농도는 비타민 A의 공급 제한에 의해 최대 약 50% 정도까지 감소하였다. 또한 혈중 25(OH)D3 농도는 비타민 D의 공급제한에 의하여 최대 약 55% 정도까지 감소하였다. 거세 한우의 비타민 A 및 D 공급 제한은 도체중, 등지방두께, 배최장근 단면적, 육량지수 및 육량등급에 영항을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 반면 비타민 A의 공급 제한은 마블링지수를 17% 정도 유의적으로 향상시켰다. 비타민 D의 공급 제한은 마블링 지수를 유의적으로 증가시키지는 않았지만 수치적으로(약 5%) 증가시키는 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로 본 연구결과는 거세 한우의 근내지방 침착 향상을 위해서는 비타민 A의 공급제한 방법이 비타민 D 공급제한 보다 효율적임을 제시하였고 한우에서도 일본의 화우와 마찬가지로 비육전기에 비타민 A를 제한 할 경우 근내지방도 향상을 통해 고급육생산이 가능함을 제시하였다.
