본 실험은 대사 에너지와 조단백질 수준이 토종오리의 생산성 및 도체 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 수행되었다. 육성 전기는 토종오리 828수를 9개 처리에 공시하여 사용하였고, 육성 후기는 육성 전기를 거친 토종오리 중 720수를 9개 처리에 공시하여 사용하였다. 육성 전기의 실험 사료는 ME 3,000, 2,900 및 2,800 kcal/kg, CP 23, 22 및 21%이었으며, 육성 후기에는 ME 3,100, 3,000 및 2,900 kcal/kg, CP 19, 18 및 17%로 처리하여 사용하였다. 육성 전기 실험 결과는 CP 수준이 증가함에 따라 체중, 증체량 및 사료 요구율이 유의적으로 개선되었지만(Linear effect, P<0.01), ME 수준과 $ME{ imes}CP$ interaction에 의한 유의차는 나타나지 않았다. 균일도는 ME, CP 수준과 $ME{ imes}CP$ interaction 모두에서 유의차가 나타나지 않았다. 육성 후기 실험 결과는 체중, 섭취량, 증체량, 사료 요구율 및 균일도에서 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았으나, 도체율에서는 ME 3,000 kcal/kg에서 유의적으로 가장 높게 나타났으며(Quadratic effect, P<0.01), ME와 CP의 수준이 증가함에 따라 간의 상대적 중량이 유의적으로 각각 작아지는 결과(Linear effect, P<0.01)가 나타났다. 가슴육, 넓적다리 및 북채의 상대적 중량에서는 수준간 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 토종오리 고기의 화학 및 물리적 특성인 육색, pH, 가열 감량 및 전단력가에서는 ME 및 CP 수준과 $ME{ imes}CP$ interaction 모두에서 유의차가 나타나지 않았다.
This study was undertaken to assess dietary CP and ME concentrations for optimum growth performance and carcass characteristics of Korean Native male ducks. In a $3{ imes}3$ factorial arrangement, 1-d-old Korean Native male ducks were completely randomized design to experimental diets with 3,000, 2,900, and 2,800 kcal of ME/kg of diet; each contained 23, 22, and 21% CP, respectively, from 0 to 3 wk of age. From 4 to 8 wk of age, experimental diets had 3,100, 3,000, and 2,900 kcal of ME/kg of diet, and each contained 19, 18, and 17% CP, respectively. Each dietary treatment was replicated 4 times, and feed and water were provided ad libitum. Body weight, feed intake and uniformity were measured at 3 wk and 8 wk, and carcass characteristics were evaluated at 8 wk. As CP increased from 21 to 23 %, the body weight, BW gain and feed conversion ratios (FCR) linearly improved (P<0.01) during 0 to 3 wk of age. From 4 to 8 wk of age, the body weight, feed intake, BW gain, FCR and uniformity were not different (P>0.05). Carcass ratios of birds fed 3,000 kcal of ME/kg diets from 3 to 8 wk of age were quadratically increased significantly (P<0.01). As ME and CP increased, respectively, relative weight of liver weight per 100 g of BW was linearly decreased (P<0.01). Relative weights of left breast, thigh and drumstick weight per 100 of BW were not different (P>0.05). Also, breast meat color, pH, cooking loss and shear force were not different (P>0.05). Thus, diets with 2,800 kcal of ME/kg and 23% CP or with 2,900 kcal of ME/kg and 17% CP at 0 to 3 wk and 4 to 8 wk, respectively, were used more efficiently. However, diets with 3,000 kcal of ME/kg at 4 to 8 wk in carcass rate was quadratically increased.
