Effects of Feeding Mugwort Pelleted Diet on the Meat Quality in Pigs

To investigate the effect of dietary mugwort pellet on the growing performance and meat quality barrow (T1) and boar (T2) were alloted into six treatments : 1) commercial feed, 2) T1-1 and T2-1 (commercial feed supplemented with 3.0％ mugwort pellet), 3) T1-2 and T2-2 (commercial feed supplemented with 5.0％ mugwort pellet). They were fed experimental diets for 60 days before slaughtered. Meat samples were taken in wrap package and stored at 4$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$. Daily gain in both groups (T1 and T2) were higher than those of the control (p<0.05). Feed conversion tended to be lower in barrow group than boar group and tended to be decreased according to supplementation of mugwort pelleted diet in barrow group. In both barrow and boar groups, proximate compositions of pork were not sigificantly different, except for crude fat. Crude fat content was tended to be low in barrow when fed mugwort pelleted diet. Shear force value and sensory properties were siginificantly higher in barrow group than in boar group (p<0.05) and these results were also seemed due to great fed mugwort pelleted aiet(p<0.05). In the barrow group, values of tenderness and flavor were the highest in pigs fed diet supplemented with 3.0％ mugwort. The catechin content of pork tended to be higher in boar group than in barrow group and catechin tended to increase with supplementation of mugwort in the diet.

쑥 펠렛사료 급여가 돼지의 육질에 미치는 영향

본 연구는 쑥 펠렛 사료 급여에 따른 돼지의 성장율과 육질에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 거세돈과 비거세돈에게 각각 대조구, 쑥 펠렛 3％, 쑥 펠렛 5％씩을 첨가급여하여 60일간 사양한 후 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 일당증체량에서 거세돈구 및 비거세돈구의 쑥 펠렛 사료 급여구가 대조구보다 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 사료요구 율은 거세돈구가 비거세돈구보다 낮았고, 거세돈구의 경우는 쑥 펠렛 첨가에 따라 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 전처리구간의 돈육의 일반성분은 조지방 함량을 제외하고 처리구간에 차이가 없었고, 그 중 거세돈구는 쑥 펠렛 급여에 따라 조지방 함량이 낮아져 유의성이 인정되었다(p<0.05). 전단력과 관능검사는 거세돈구가 비거세돈구보다 높아 유의차가 있었고(p<0.05), 또한 쑥 펠렛 급여구는 대조구보다 크게 향상되었다(p<0.05). 거세돈구의 경우 연도와 향미는 쑥 펠렛 3.0％ 급여구가 가장 좋게 나타났다. 돈육의 카뎁킨 함량은 거세돈구가 비거세돈구보다 더 높은 경향이었고, 쑥 펠렛 첨가 수준이 증가함에 따라 높아지는 경향을 나타내었다.
