본 시험은 청보리 사일리지 급여 시 농후사료 급여수준이 육성기 흑염소의 발육과 육질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 시험은 흑염소 육성축 수컷 36두를 공시하여 대조구는 볏짚과 농후사료 수준을 체중의 2%로 급여하고 처리구는 청보리 사일리지와 농후사료 수준을 각각 체중의 2.0, 1.5 및 1.0%로 급여하여 2007년 5월 14일부터 2007년 10월 12일까지 시험을 실시하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 일당증체량은 대조구 보다 BS 1.5와 BS 2.0구가 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 1일 사료 섭취량은 대조구가 689.3g으로 BS 1.0구의 585.5g 보다 유의하게 높았지만 BS 2.0구의 734.3g 보다는 유의하게 낮게 섭취하였다(p<0.05). 도체율과 정육율은 BS 2.0과 BS 1.5구가 대조구와 BS 1.0구 보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 전단력과 보수력은 BS 2.0구와 BS 1.5구가 우수한 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 관능검사는 청보리 사일리지 급여 시 농후사료 급여수준이 높을수록 우수한 경향으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 종합적으로 고려할 때 청보리 사일리지 급여 시 육성기 흑염소의 발육과 육질개선을 위한 농후사료 급여수준은 1.5%가 적정한 것으로 사료된다.
Effects of dietary concentrate levels based on whole-crop barley silage (BS) on development and meat quality in growing Korean black goats were examined. A total of 36 male goats with similar age and BW were equally allocated to dietary four treatments in a randomized complete block design. Dietary treatments included controls(rice straw ad libitum plus 2.0% concentrate BW－1), and BS ad libitum plus three increasing levels of concentrate BW－1(2.0, 1.5 and 1.0%, respectively), expressed as BS 2.0, BS 1.5 and BS 1.0, respectively. The trial was lasted for 5 months from 14th of May to 12th of October, 2007. At the end of trial, all animals were slaughtered to analyze carcass characteristics and meat quality. Average daily gain was significantly(p<0.05) higher for BS 1.5 and BS 2.0 treatments than for controls. Daily feed intakes for controls(689.3 g) were significantly(p<0.05) higher than those of BS 1.0(585.5 g), but they were significantly(p<0.05) lower than BS 2.0(734.3 g). Carcass and meat percentages were significantly (p<0.05) higher for BS 2.0 and BS 1.5 than for control and BS 1.0 treatments. Shear force and water-holding capacity was greater(p<0.05) for BS 2.0 and BS 1.5 than other treatments. On the basis of feeding whole-crop barley silage to Korean black goats, as dietary concentrate inclusion levels increased, sensory results showed to have a better tendency. In conclusion, it was estimated that the optimal level of dietary concentrates might be 1.5% BW－1, when diets based whole-crop barley silage were fed to growing Korean black goats for their improvements of growth and meat quality.
