This study analyzed the effect on weight and average daily gain, carcass grade, and blood characteristics and immunity in case of dietary addition of pegmatite to Hanwoo steers. Relative to Hanwoo steers, initial body weight was 257.3±11.74 kg (8-months old after birth). Forty-eight Hanwoo steers were fed for 24 months using random arrangement (4 treatment plots×4 heads×3 repeat). The treatment plot (498.75~500.82 kg) had higher weight during the early fattening stage compared with that of the control plot (474.37 kg) (p<0.05). Regarding total cholesterol of the blood, the value was similar to one during initiation of testing, but the value increased gradually based on the progress of fattening. In addition, the triglyceride was considerably low in T2~T3 plots with high addition of pegmatite during the late fattening stage compared with other treatment plots (p<0.05). This study revealed a tendency in the IgG content that represented immunity as the addition of pegmatite became higher (p>0.05). This study found that the treatment plot (441.55~452.10 kg) had higher carcass weight compared with the control plot (436.30 kg). However, this study revealed that the treatment plot (2.30~2.55 points) had higher carcass quantity grade compared with the control plot (2.11 points). This study found that the control plot (3.55 points) had higher carcass quality grade compared with the treatment plot (2.67~3.09 points) (p>0.05).
With studies combined, it was determined that dietary addition of pegmatite to the feed as clay minerals in fattening Hanwoo steers would improve feed intake, body weight gain and carcass quantity grade.
In the swine industry, growth related traits are important economic traits directly linked to profitability. Representative growth traits include daily gain, back fat thickness, and carcass weight. This study was conducted to search for positional candidate genes associated with the carcass weight through a genome-wide association study(GWAS) using suggestive levels of statistical thresholds in pigs. As a result of the genome-wide analysis of the associations with carcass weight, the single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) markers with suggestive significance were identified in 1 SNP marker on chromosome 2(ALGA0015365) and 1 SNP marker on chromosome 4(ALGA0023678). We could select positional 2 candidate genes, located close to the SNP markers with suggestive significance levels. The SNP markers in adjacent to the 2 genes(LOC100519538, LOC100737583) may provide basic data regarding the marker-assisted selection for the carcass weight trait in pigs.
본 연구는 축산물품질평가원에서 제공한 2007년 7월 1일부터 2009년 4월 30일까지의 도체등급판 정자료 20,450,773두의 등지방두께, 도체중 및 육질등급 자료를 이용하였으며, 등지방두께와 도체중 에 대한 환경효과를 추정하였고, 성별, 등지방두께별, 도체중별 등급출현율을 추정하였다. 조사된 형 질의 평균치는 도체중과 등지방두께가 각각 85.97±0.002 kg, 20.76±0.001 ㎜로 나타났다. 성의 효과 에서는 거세돼지의 도체중과 등지방두께가 각각 86.25±0.003 kg과 22.55±0.002 ㎜로 나타나, 다른 암 퇘지나 수퇘지에 비하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났고, 도축 년도의 효과에서는 년도가 경과함에 따라 도체중과 등지방두께가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 도축 계절의 효과에서는 도체중의 경우 겨 울에 87.00± 0.007 kg으로 유의적으로 무겁게 나타났고, 등지방두께의 경우 가을에 19.32±0.004 ㎜로 유의적으로 두껍게 나타났다. 성에 대한 육질등급 출현율의 경우 온도체와 냉도체 모두 거세돼지의 상위등급 출현율이 암퇘지에 비하여 높게 나타났다. 도체중에 대한 육질등급 출현율의 경우, 온도체 와 냉도체 모두 84∼88 kg 그룹에서 상위등급 출현율이 다른 그룹에 비하여 높게 나타났다. 등지방 두께에 대한 육질등급 출현율의 경우 온도체와 냉도체 모두 22∼24 ㎜ 그룹에서 상위등급 출현율이 다른 그룹에 비하여 높게 나타났다.
This study was conducted to compare the carcass characteristics of native type black pigs (Black pigs) with those of commercial cross bred pigs (Commercial pigs) with the data collected from pig farms. 8364 and 33786 records were collected from Black pigs and the Commercial pigs, respectively. The Commercial pigs were mainly from three breed crosses of Yorkshire, Landrace and Duroc. Commercial pig data was subdivided into manual and machine sub data set on the judging method. Black pigs showed lower carcass weight (CWT) and thinner back fat thickness (BFT) than Commercial pigs. However, the ratio of BFT to CWT (BFT/CWT ratio) was higher in Black pigs than Commercial pigs. The carcass grades of Commercial pigs were mostly in A and B, C, and D in descending order, while the grades D or E were observed in most carcass of Black pigs. Barrow tended to be thicker in BFT and higher in BFT/CWT ratio than gilt both in Commercial and Black pigs, and gilt were higher in loin depth (LD) and Estimated Lean Yield Percentage (ELP) which were available only in the data by machine evaluation of Commercial pigs. Residual correlation coefficient (+0.496) between carcass weight and back fat thickness in Black pigs did not differ from those in Commercial pigs which were +0.434 and +0.414 in the data by manual and machine evaluation, respectively. The linear regression coefficients of back fat thickness on carcass weight were +0.364 mm in Black pigs, and +0.257 mm (manual evaluation) and +0.236 (machine evaluation) in Commercial pigs, which suggests relative accumulation rate of BFT to the growth of weight was faster in Black pigs than Commercial pigs.
