사료첨가제로서 황토와 올리고당이 홀스타인 어린송아지의 성장 및 항병력에 미치는 영향 = Effects of Loess and Oligosaccharide as Feed Additives for Holstein Calves to Increase the Growth Rate end Disease Resistance

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This experiment was conducted to study effects of loess and a form of oligosaccharide (glucosamine-D) as feed additives for 4 days to 2 month-old Holstein calves on the disease resistance and the growth rate. The total weight gains(WG) of test group given 0.04% glucosamine-D and 3% loess as additives were 43.6㎏ and 37.2㎏, respectively, which were 10.1㎏ and 3.6㎏ higher weight gains compared to control group(33.5㎏). The potential influence of loess and glucosamine-D treatment on the distribution of various leukocyte cell types in the serum of test group was tested using flow cytometic method. CD4 antigen positive cells(i.e., T helper cell) were highest in test group feeding 0.04% glucosamine-D, white class II MHC-positive cell type(antigen presenting cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells) was lowest in 6% loess-feeding group. These results suggest that 3% loess and glucosamin-D were more effective as feed additives for 4 days to 2 month-old Holstein calves to increase the disease resistance and the growth rate than those of any other treatments.
