한우의 성장형질과 도체형질에 대한 유전상관 추정

Abstract

본 연구는 농협중앙회 가축개량사업소와 한우개량단지에서 1991년도부터 1996년도까지 출생하여 사육된 1,823두의 한우 수소에 대한 자료를 이용하여 성장형질과 도체형질의 유전상관을 추정하기 위하여 실시하였으며, DF- REML을 이용한 다형질 Animal Model로 추정하였다. 12개월 체중과 일당증체량은 0.76, 12개월 체중과 체장은 0.79의 유전상관을 나타내었고, 18개월 체중과 일당증체량 및 18개월체중과 체장간의 유전상관은 각각 0.86 및 0.82로 추정되었다. 또한 냉도체중과 도체율, 배최장근단면적, 등지방두께 및 도체장간의 유전상관은 각각 0.39, 0.37, 0.44, 0.63으로 추정되었고, 등지방두께와 근내지방도는 0.36의 유전상관을 나타내었다. 냉도체중과 12개월 체중 및 18개월체중간의 유전상관은 0.71과 0.96으로 높은 정의 상관을 나타내었고, 체장과의 유전상관도 0.63과 0.75로 체중과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 도체율과 체중, 일당증체량, 체장, 곤폭 및 흉위간에는 정의 유전상관을 나타냈으며, 배최장근단면적과 성장형질간의 유전상관은 -0.07 <TEX>${\sim}$</TEX>0.32으로 낮게 추정되었고, 등지방두께와 성장형질간 유전상관은 낮게 추정되었지만 18개월령 흉위에서 높게 나타났다. 근내지방도와 18개월 흉위는 0.25의 유전상관 상관이 추정되었다. This study was carried out to estimate the genetic correlations for the carcass and growth traits of Hanwoo bulls measured at 12 and 18 months of age on the basis of the data form 1,823 heads of Hanwoo bulls raised at the Livestock Improvement Main Center from 1991 to 1998. Genetic correlations were estimated with multiple trait animal model using MTDFREML. The genetic correlations of the body weight at 12 months with average daily gain during 6<TEX>${\sim}$</TEX>12 months and with the body length were 0.76 and 0.79, respectively. The genetic correlations of the body weight at 18 months with average daily gain during 6<TEX>${\sim}$</TEX>18 months and with the body length were 0.86 and 0.82, respectively. The genetic correlations of the carcass weight with dressing percent, eye muscle area, backfat thickness and carcass length were 0.39, 0.37, 0.44 and 0.63, respectively. And estimate of 0.36 was obtained for the genetic correlation between backfat thickness and marbling score. The high and positive genetic correlations of 0.71 and 0.96 were estimated for the carcass weight with the body weights at 12 and 18 months. The genetic correlations of the carcass weight with body lengths at 12 and 18 months were 0.63 and 0.75, respectively. Positive genetic correlations were estimated for the dressing percentage with the body weight, average daily gain, body length, thurls width and chest girth. Low genetic correlations were estimated between eye muscle area and the growth traits ranging from -0.07 to 0.32. Dressing percentage was low correlated genetically with the growth traits except for the chest girth at 18 months. The genetic correlation between marbling score and chest girth at 18 months estimated was 0.25.
