Abstract

본 연구는 반려견 사료 내 주요 탄수화물원인 밀가루(원물기준 약 51%)를 현미로 15%, 30% 대체 급여하였을 때, 사료 영양소 소화율, 배설분 특성, 기호성 변화를 조사하기 위하여 말티즈(Maltese) 강아지(8~9개월령, 시험개시 평균체중 <TEX>$2.8{\pm}0.3$</TEX> kg) 6마리는 이용 반복 <TEX>$3{\times}3$</TEX> 라틴방각법에 따라 실험을 수행하였다. 모든 영양소 소화율에서 현미 15%구가 가장 높거나 혹은 가장 낮은 quadratic 효과가 나타났다. 대조구와 현미 30% 구간에는 차이가 없었다. 사료의 DE 및 ME 농도(kcal/kg DM)도 quadratic 반응(P<0.001, P=0.015)을 보였다. 생분 및 건물 분 배설량에서도 현미 15%구가 가장 높게 나타나는 quadratic (P = 0.006, P = 0.014) 반응을 보였고, 분 score는 2.7에서 2.3으로 linear (P = 0.008)하게 낮아졌다. 현미구 대체율이 증가하면서 분 암모니아 농도는 linear (P = 0.001)한 증가를 보였으며, short- chain fatty acid 농도는 linear (P = 0.07) 감소 경향을 보였다. 본 실험에서의 현미 급여 효과는 배설 분 score에서만 확인되었고, 현미구의 현저한 기호성 증진 결과에 대해서는 현미 효과인지 가금부산물 함량 증가 효과인지 추가 실험이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. In this experiment, two inclusion levels (15 and 30% of diets, as-fed basis) of brown rice (BR) were tested against a control diet with 0% BR (51% wheat flour of diet). Six female Maltese (8~9 months age, initial mean body weight of <TEX>$2.8{\pm}0.3$</TEX> kg) were assigned to treatments in replicated <TEX>$3{\times}3$</TEX> Latin square design. Total tract digestibilities of DM, OM, acid hydrolyzed fat, CP and gross energy by dogs fed experimental diets responded quadratically (P<0.01 or <0.05) to BR inclusion levels. Similarly, quadratic responses (P<0.001, P=0.015) were observed for digestible energy and metabolizable energy values, respectively. Wet and dry fecal output also exhibited quadratic responses (P=0.006, P=0.014, respectively) but no differences were observed between control and BR 30% diets. Linear (P=0.008) effect was observed for fecal score in dogs fed BR, and fecal ammonia concentration increased linearly (P=0.001) in response to increasing BR inclusion levels. It seems that the increase in fecal ammonia concentration may be partially related to the decrease tendency (P=0.07) in short-chain fatty acid concentration. In this experiment, inclusion of BR in dog diet did not result in pronounced changes in the digestibility but in fecal score. Although inclusion of BR in diets showed profound positive effect on fecal score, it is confounded by the high inclusion level of poultry offal meal.
