육계의 분뇨 배설량과 그 특성을 구명하기 위해 국립축산과학원 환경 조절 계사에서 1일령 육계 암수 각각 150수에서 매주 10수씩을 선별하여 배설량을 측정하였다. 수당 일일 암수 평균 분뇨 배설량(5주령)은 85.4 g이었으며, 출하일령(35일령)까지의 총 배설량은 2,900 g이었고, 계분의 평균 수분함량은 76.9%이었다. 분뇨(5~7주령)의 N, $P_2O_5$ 및 $K_2O$는 각각 1.19, 0.29 및 0.49%이었으며, 오염 물질 중 pH는 7.80, $BOD_5$ 42,134 mg/L, $COD_{mn}$ 52,668 mg/L, SS 106,699 mg/L를 나타냈다. 중금속 함량을 보면, Pb은 0.803 mg/kg으로 규제 농도인 150 mg/kg보다 크게 낮았다. Cd은 검출되지 않았으며, As는 0.011 mg/kg으로 검출되었다. Hg은 0.002 mg/kg으로 규제농도인 2 mg/kg에 미치지 못하였다.
This work was conducted to investigate the amount and major compositions of excreta from broilers. One hundred fifty 1-d-old male and female Ross broilers were used in this work and ten broilers were selected to measure excreta. Average amount of excreta per broiler was 85.4 g, and average moisture content was 76.9%. N, $P_2O_5$ and $K_2O$ in excreta were 1.19, 0.29 and 0.49%, respectively. pH, $BOD_5$, $COD_{mn}$, and SS were 7.80, 42,134 mg/L, 52,668 mg/L, and 106,669 mg/L, respectively. Pb in poultry excreta was 0.803 mg/kg and highly lowed compared with the standard contents (150 mg/kg). Cd was not founded in excreta. Hg was founded in excreta as 0.002 mg/kg, but it was low compared with the standard level (2 mg/kg).
