Productivity and Performance Test of Egg-Type Commercial Korean Native Chickens

본 시험은 산란형 토종닭 실용계의 산란능력을 보고자 실시하였다. 공시계는 국립축산과학원에서 생산된 종란을 인수하여 4가지 교배 조합으로 생산된 교잡종 360수로서, 20주령부터 64주령까지 사양 시험을 실시하면서 산란 능력을 조사하였다. 교배 조합은 A) C계통<TEX>×</TEX>Y계통<TEX>×</TEX>C계통, B) C계통<TEX>×</TEX>L계통<TEX>×</TEX>C계통, C) C계통<TEX>×</TEX>G계통<TEX>×</TEX>C계통, D) C계통<TEX>×</TEX>W계통<TEX>×</TEX>C계통으로 4교배 조합, 교배 조합당 6반복, 반복당 15수씩 완전 임의배치하였다. 시산 일령과 시산 난중은 교배 조합간 유의차는 없었다. 시산시의 체중은 D 교배종이 1,319 g으로 다른 교배종들에 비해 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 주령별 체중은 B 교배종이 20, 30 및 40주령에서 가장 높았고, D 교배종이 가장 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 평균 사료 섭취량은 B교배종이 주로 높게 나타났으며, 20~24주령, 32~44주령 및 52~60주령에서 높았다(P<0.05). 44주령 이후로는 D 교배종의평균사료섭취량이가장낮게나타났다(P<0.05). 24주령 이후부터60주령까지의평균난중은B 교배종이높았다(P<0.05). 산란율은 C 교배종이 시험기간 동안 다른 계통에 비해 높았다(P<0.05). 64주령까지의 산란수는 A, B, C, D 교배종이 각각 241.4, 235.6, 232.3 및 227.0개로서 차이를 나타내었으나(P<0.05), 28주령 이후부터는 교배 조합간 차이를 보이지 않았다. 20~24주령의 사료 요구율은 A와 C 교배종이 낮았다(P<0.05). 산란 말기인 60~64주령에서는 C 교배종의 사료 요구율이 가장 낮았다. 본 시험의 결과는 유정란 생산용 및 관상용 산란형 토종닭 생산을 위한 기초 자료를 제공함으로써 토종 실용계의 보급에 도움이 되리라 사료된다. The study was conducted to evaluate the production and the performance test of egg-type commercial Korean Native Chickens. A total of 360 female layers were produced from CY<TEX>×</TEX>C (A), CL<TEX>×</TEX>C (B), CG<TEX>×</TEX>C (C) and CW<TEX>×</TEX>C (D) crossbreds kept at National Institute of Animal Science, Korea, and breed during 20~64 weeks to investigate the productivity and the performance. Layers were divided into 4 crossbreds (6 replications/crossbred, 15 heads/replication). Age and egg weight at first egg was no significantly different among crossbreds. Body weight (BW) at first egg of D crossbred was significantly lower compared to that of other crossbreds (P<0.05). Weekly BW of B crossbred was the highest at 20, 30 and 40 weeks of age, but BW of D crossbred was the lowest among crossbreds. Feed intake (FI) of B crossbred was significantly higher compared to the other crossbreds at 20~24, 32~44 and 52~60 weeks of age. FI of D crossbred was significantly lower compared to other crossbreds after the age of 44 weeks (P<0.05). Average egg weight of B crossbred was significantly higher than the other crossbreds at the age of 24~60 weeks (P<0.05). Egg production ratio (%) of C crossbred was significantly higher compared to the other crossbreds for whole test periods (P<0.05). Hen-housed egg production number at 64 weeks of age for A, B, C and D crossbreds resulted in 241.4, 235.6, 232.3 and 227.0, respectively. Feed conversion ratio of A and C crossbreds was lower compared to the other crossbreds at the age of 20~24 weeks and C crossbred was the lowest among the crossbreds at the age of 60~64 weeks. These results provide the basic data which will be helpful to develope the new strains of commercial Korean Native Chickens.
