A broiler experiment was conducted to compare the effects of supplementary iron sources and levels on the iron content of broiler meat. Two hundred and fifty hatched Ross broiler chickens were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatments. Each treatment had 5 replicates of 10 birds (5 males and 5 females). Birds were housed in raised floor batteries and fed traditional broiler diets ad libitum for 5 weeks. Dietary treatments were as follows: Control, Fe-Met 100 (100 ppm iron as Fe-methionine), Fe-Met 200, $FeSO_4$ 100 (100 ppm iron as $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$) and $FeSO_4\;200$. There were no significant differences among treatments in parameters related to production performance. Liver contained approximately 10 times more iron than the leg muscle which contained approximately 3 times more iron than either breast muscle or wing muscle. Significant differences in iron content in the broiler meat were observed. In the breast meat, Fe-Met treatments were significantly (p<0.05) higher than other treatments in iron content. In the leg meat, Fe-Met treatments and $FeSO_4\;200$ treatment were significantly higher than the control in iron content. In the wing muscle, Fe-Met 200 treatment was significantly higher than other treatments in iron content. Iron content in the liver was significantly influenced by source and supplementation level of iron. Fe-Met treatments were higher than $FeSO_4$ treatments and 200 ppm treatments were higher than 100 ppm treatments in iron content in the liver. It is concluded that iron-methionine chelate is more efficient than iron sulfate and 200 ppm iron supplementation as Fe-Met is recommended for maximum iron enrichment in broiler meat.

A broiler experiment was conducted to compare the effects of duration and level of iron-methionine chelate (Fe-Met) supplementation on the iron, copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) content of broiler meat. Two hundred and fifty hatched Ross broiler chickens were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatments. Each treatment had 5 replicates of 10 birds (5 males and 5 females) each. Birds were housed in raised floor batteries and fed traditional broiler diets ad libitum for 5 weeks. Dietary treatments were as follows: Control and two levels of Fe-Met (100 or 200 ppm in Fe) supplemented for either the whole period (0-5 wk) or grower period (4-5 wk). Production performance was not significantly affected by treatments. Iron content in the muscles (breast, leg and wing) and organs (liver and spleen) were significantly (p<0.05) increased as the level and duration of Fe-Met supplementation increased. The highest concentration of iron was shown in Fe-Met 200 fed for the whole period. Liver contained the highest amount of iron followed by spleen, leg muscle, wing muscle and breast muscle. Supplementation of Fe-Met 200 for the grower period resulted in higher iron concentration in liver and spleen than supplementation of Fe-Met 100 for the whole period. However, the same treatment resulted in lower iron concentration in muscles (breast, leg and wing) than the treatment of Fe-Met 100 for the whole period. In order to achieve the highest iron enrichment in the muscles, Fe-Met should be supplemented at 200 ppm in Fe for the whole period (5 wks). Fe-Met supplementation increased copper concentration in all muscles and organs except wing muscle. Zinc concentration decreased in breast and wing muscle but tended to increase in leg muscle, liver and spleen by Fe-Met 200 supplementation. Color of muscle was not significantly affected by Fe-Met treatments. However, redness of leg and breast muscle, and yellowness of leg and breast muscle tended to increase by supplementation of Fe-Met for the whole period. It was concluded that iron content of broiler meat can be effectively enriched by supplementation of 200 ppm of Fe as Fe-Met for 5 wks.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the efficiency of transfer of dietary iron sources to eggs of laying hens. Eighty ISA-Brown laying birds of 30 wk old were housed in 40 cages of 2 birds each. Eight birds in four cages were assigned to one of the following ten treatments: T1; control, T2; 100 ppm iron supplementation with iron-methionine chelate (Fe-Met-100), T3; Fe-Met- 200, T4; Fe-Met-300, T5; 100 ppm iron supplementation with iron sulfate ($FeSO_4$-100), T6; $FeSO_4$-200, T7; $FeSO_4$-300, T8; 100 ppm iron supplementation with Availa-$Fe^{(R)}$ (Availa-Fe-100), T9; Availa-Fe-200 and T10; Availa-Fe-300. Results of 40 d feeding trial showed that there were no consistent responses in laying performance by source and level of iron supplementation. However, eggshell strength and color were improved by Fe supplementation. Egg iron content was maximized at 10-15 days after feeding supplemental Fe. Fe- Met was the most effective source in enriching Fe of eggs followed by Availa-Fe and $FeSO_4$. Increasing supplementary Fe level more than 100 ppm was not effective in Fe-Met and Availa-Fe treatments. Average Fe enrichment of 18% was achieved after feeding Fe-Met-100 for 15 d. In conclusion, enrichment of Fe in egg could be effectively achieved by supplementation of Fe-Met-100 for 15 d.

본 실험은 Cu-methionine chelate(Cu-Met)와 Cu-soy proteinate(Cu-SP)가 산란계의 생산성과 소장내 미생물 균총 및 면역 체계에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 실시하였다. 사양시험은 39주령의 산란계(Hy-line $Brown^{(R)}$) 960수를 선별하여 A형 2단 4열 케이지에 대조구 포함 총 6처리구로 구성하여 처리당 4반복, 반복당 40수씩(2수 수용 케이지 20개) 난괴법으로 임의 배치하였다. 시험 기간 동안 물과 사료는 자유 섭취하게 하였으며, 일반적인 점등 관리(자연 일조+조명; 16 hr)를 실시하였다. 시험구는 대조구, 항생제구(avilamycin 6 ppm), Cu- Met 50(Cu-methionine으로 Cu 50 ppm), Cu-Met 100(Cu- methionine으로 Cu 100 ppm), Cu-SP 50(Cu-soy proteinate로 Cu 50 ppm) 그리고 Cu-SP 100(Cu-soy proteinate로 Cu 100 ppm) 등 총 6처리였다. 일계 산란율(Hen-day egg production)과 산란지수(Hen-house egg production)는 Cu 첨가구들과 항생제 첨가구들이 대조구에 비해 높은 경향을 보였는데, 특히 Cu-Met 100 구는 대조구에 비하여 유의적으로(P<0.05) 높았으며 Cu 처리구들 간에 종류나 첨가 수준에 따른 차이는 유의하지 않았다. 난중에서는 항생제구와 Cu-SP 첨가구들이 대조구보다 무거운 경향을 보였고, Cu-Met 첨가구들보다는 유의하게(P<0.05) 무거웠다. 난각 강도, 난각 두께, 난각색, 난황색, Haugh unit 등 계란 품질에 있어서 처리구간에 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. Leukocytes와 erythrocytes 관련 모수들은 평균 적혈구 혈색소량(MCH)을 제외한 모든 항목에서 처리간에 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. MCH는 Cu-SP 100이 대조구와 비교하여 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05). 혈청 IgG와 IgA의 농도는 처리구간에 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 간 내 구리의 함량은 처리간에 유의한(P<0.05) 차이가 있었는데, 구리의 첨가 수준이 높을수록 높아지는 경향이 있었으며 같은 첨가 수준에서는 Cu-SP 첨가구들이 Cu-Met 첨가구들보다 높은 경향이 있었다. 소장 내용물 중 Cl. perfringens의 수는 항생제와 Cu 첨가구들이 대조구에 비해 적었고 E. coli 수는 첨가구들에서 감소하는 경향이 있었으며, Lactobacilli 수는 Cu 첨가구들이 대조구나 항생제구와 비교하였을 때 많았다. 결론적으로 Cu-Met와 Cu-SP는 산란계의 산란율 개선에 있어서 항생제와 유사한 효과를 나타내었다. Cu-SP는 Cu-Met보다 난중을 유의하게 증가시켰으나 다른 항목들에 있어서는 Cu 공급원(Cu-Met vs Cu-SP)과 첨가수준(50 vs 100 ppm)에 따른 유의적 차이는 없었다.
