Abstract

This experiment was conducted to establish the technology for artificial hay preparation in Korea. Using far-infrared heater, a device that can control temperature, airflow, and far-infrared radiation was produced and conducted on the fourth harvested alfalfa. The drying conditions were carried out by selecting a total of four conditions. For each condition, the radiation rate was set to around 40% (33-42%), and the temperature was set at 58~65℃, and the speed of the airflow was fixed at 60m/s. The overall drying time was set to 30 min in the single and 60 min (30-30 min) and 90 min (30-30-30 min) in the complex condition, and the radiation rate and temperature were changed by time period. In the case of drying condition 1, the final dry matter (DM) content was 46.26%, which did not reach a DM suitable for hay. However, all of the alfalfa corresponding to the remaining drying conditions 2 to 7 showed a DM content of 80% or more, resulting in optimal alfalfa hay production. In power consumption according to the drying conditions, the second drying condition showed the lowest at 4.7 KW, and the remaining drying conditions were as high as 6.5 to 7.1 KW. The crude protein content was found to be high at an average of 25.91% and it showed the highest content in the 5th drying condition (26.93%) and the lowest value in the 6th drying condition (25.16%). The digestibility showed a high value with an average of 84.90%, and there was no significant difference among treatments (p>0.05). Considering the above results, it was judged that drying condition 2 was the most advantageous.

본 시험은 우리나라에서 인공건초 조제 기술을 확보를 위해 수행되었다. 원적외선 히터를 활용하여 온도, 송풍량, 원적외선 방사량을 조절할 수 있는 기기를 제작하여 4차 수확한 알팔파를 대상으로 실시하였다. 건조를 위한 조건은 전체 4개의 조건을 선택하여 수행하였으며 각각의 조건은 방사율은 40% 내외(33-42%)로 설정을 하여 복합 조건에서는 시간이 지날수록 방사율을 낮추었다. 온도는 58~65℃로 설정하였으며, 기기내의 기류의 속도는 60m/s로 고정하였다. 전체적인 건조시간은 단일조건에서는 30분, 복합조건은 60분(30-30분) 및 90분(30-30-30분)으로 설정하여 시간대별로 방사율과 온도에 변화를 주었다. 건조 조건 1 (30분건조)의 경우에는 최종 건물함량이 46.26%로 건초에 적합한 건물에는 도달하지 못하였다. 그러나 나머지 2~7번 건조 조건에 해당하는 알팔파는 모두 건물함량이 80% 이상으로 나타나 최적의 알팔파 건초가 생산되었다. 건조 조건에 따른 전력 소비량의 차이를 보면 2번 건조조건에서 4.7 KW로 가장 낮게 나타났으며 나머지 건조조건은 6.5~7.1KW로 높았다. 조단백질 함량은 평균 25.91%로 높게 나타났으며 수확 당시(23.39%)보다 전체적인 함량은 높아졌다. 또한 5번 건조 조건에서 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었으며(26.93%) 6번 건조 조건에서 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었다(25.16%). 소화율은 평균 84.90%로 높은 값을 나타내었으며 처리간에 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). TDN 함량은 ADF 함량을 기반으로 하여 계산된 수치로 전체적인 경향은 ADF 함량과 비슷하였으며 원적외선 건조 조건에서 대체로 높은 경향을 보여주었다. 한편 4차 예취한 알팔파 건초의 RFV 값은 평균 166으로 높았으며 열풍건조 조건에서 유의적으로 낮았으며 원적외선 건조 조건에서는 큰 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 2번 건조조건이 가장 유리한 것으로 판단되었다.
