Description
INTRODUCTION Annually more than 12,000 tons of clay mineral is used as an animal feed supplement in Korea. Clay mineral such as sodium bentonite (NaB) is an expanded lattice clay of the montmorillonite group of minerals (Bates and Jackson, 1980) with a high ion exchange capacity that binds a wide range of cations (Fenn and Leng, 1989). Because acid buffering capacity has been correlated with total cations and total ash (Jasaitis et al., 1987), mineral buffers such as clay minerals might be effective in alleviating acid stress in ruminants under intensive feeding and management programs. Incorporated into diets, bentonite has improved wool growth of sheep (Fenn and Leng, 1989), decreased ruminal ammonia concentrations, improved feed and bacterial protein flow to the small intestine of ruminants, and had little effect on mineral metabolism in bone, liver and kidney (Ivan et al., 1992). It has been reported that feeding clay minerals had positive effects on productivity and meat quality of swine (Kim et al., 2000) and beef cattle (Cho et al., 2001; Kang et al., 2002). Among clay minerals, its effect was highest in the order of Na-bentonite, illite and kaolinite (Kang et al., 2002). However, research is lacking on the effect of dietary NaB addition on manure gas emission and meat characteristics, especially meat chemical profiles of Hanwoo steers. We hypothesized that NaB addition may affect the gas emission and meat quality of Hanwoo steers.
