본 연구는 양돈농가의 사료비 절감을 위해 국내 대표 사료작물인 청보리(유연보리)를 이용하여 양돈용 일반배합사료에 첨가 가능성을 조사하고자 실시하였다. 실험에 사용된 청보리 발효사료는 총체보리를 밀 봉하여 사일리지 형태로 제조하여 보관하였고, 3mm 이하로 분쇄하여 시험사료로 이용하였다. 공시동물은 평균체중 77.71 kg인 3원교잡종 비육돈 72두를 공시하여 돈방 당 6두씩 3반복으로 실시하였다. 처리구는 일반배합사료(대조구)에 청보리 발효사료를 1%, 2% 및 3% 첨가하였고, 42일간 급여하여 종료하였다. 청보리 발효사료 급여는 성장 및 일당증체량에는 영향을 주지 않았지만, 청보리 발효사료 3% 첨가구에서 일일 두당 사료섭취량은 유의적으로 감소하였고(p<0.05), 도체등급에서는 상위등급 출현율이 높았다(p<0.05). 경제성 조사에서 청보리 발효사료 첨가는 일일 두당 사료비를 약 0.55~8.65% 절감하였고, 특히 3% 첨가구에서 사료비 절감 효과가 가장 높았으며, 청보리 발효사료 2% 및 3% 급여구에서 도체가격이 각각 1.53% 및 6.25% 정도 높았다. 따라서 청보리 발효사료 첨가급여는 사료비 절감과 도체등급을 개선하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 높은 섬유소 분해력을 검증 받은 Aspergillus niger (KCCM 60357)와 Bacillus licheniformis (KCCM 40934)를 단독 및 혼합 배양한 미생물제제로 양돈용 청보리 발효사료를 제조하였을 때 사료 성상변화, in vitro 대장발효 및 전장소화율에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 실험 설계는 건조 청보리 (control), A. niger (control + A. niger), B. licheniformis (

This study was aimed to grow organic forage as a prime requirement for organic Hanwoo cattle production over a period of 3 years (2012~2015) in Gyeongbuk region, Korea through mixed cropping of winter fodder barley with legume and application of fermented cattle manure. The effect of barley-legume mixed cropping and application of different levels of fermented cattle manure was studied on forage productivity of whole-crop barley (WCB) and evaluation of feeding capacity of Korean native cattle (Hanwoo) per unit area. The collected data was analyzed using SAS 9.3 software. Barley-legume mixed cropping increased (P< 0.05) yields of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) as compared to those of sole WCB as monoculture. Similarly, acid detergent fiber (ADF) contents and relative feed value (RFV) were also higher (P<0.05) in barley-legume mixed sowing forage compared with those of sole WCB as monoculture. In case of manure application, yields of DM, CP and TDN were also found (P<0.05) highest in 100~150 ㎏ N/㏊. However, varying cattle manure levels did not influence (P>0.05) CP and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) contents. In response to increasing nitrogen application level, ADF content increased (P<0.05) but TDN content and RFV decreased (P<0.05). The Barley-legume mixed sowing and increasing application levels of fermented cattle manure also significantly enhanced (P<0.05) feeding capacity of organic Hanwoo (head/ha) having 450 kg body weight with 400 g of daily gain. Findings of present study indicated that barley-legume biculture not only cut nitrogen application level of fermented cattle manure by over 50 kg per ha but also increased their feed value and productivity of forage as compared to WCB monoculture. This would be contribution to the diversity of forage resources as well as production of organic animal product by creating low cost and high quality organic forage.

This experiment was conducted to obtain basic a information on feed value and fermentative quality of whole crop barley with different harvesting time and making method. As a result, in case of feed value, crude protein, NDF and ADF content were decreased with late harvest, but TDN was increased. In the silage, the results were similar and these patterns showed the same before and after the silage making. Thus, there was no significantly difference in bale and chopper. In case of fermentative quality, pH of the silages showed increasing with late harvesting time but the contents of organic acid did lower, and those tendencies were the same in both bale and chopper condition. But the lactic acid content were approximately 23 percent higher in chopped condition. In conclusion, ensiling at yellow ripe stage is better than other stages, chopped ensiling could improve fermentation quality.
