The effect of polychlorinated biphenyls on the vitamin A, vitamin E, and ascorbic acid status in young pigs

Admixture for 14 to 26 days of concentrations between 1 mg/kg to 250 mg/kg of polychlorinated biphenyls, Delor 103, 105, and 106 (Chemko, Strázeke) to ready-mixed feedstuffs was studied in 5 experiments for its effects on 71 piglets and store pigs. Neither growth nor general health were in any way impaired. Polychlorinated biphenyls produced different effects upon vitamin A, vitamin E, and ascorbic acid levels in different organs. Vitamin A concentrations in blood serum, for example were reduced by 100 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg of Delor 105 as well as by 250 mg/kg of Delor 103. Liver levels were not significantly depressed. No changes were recordable from vitamin E levels in blood serum and liver. Ascorbic acid saturation of the organism was positively affected. Its concentrations and overall levels in the liver in all experimental groups were higher than those in all controls. Significant rise of ascorbic acid concentrations in blood serum, urine, and kidneys occurred merely in response to 100 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg of Delor 105 as well as to 250 mg/kg of Delor 103. No adverse effect of tissue-borne residues of polychlorinated biphenyls on the status of administered vitamins was recordable 1 to 4 months after termination of experimental supply. Feed intake with 1 mg/kg of Delor 105, which was equivalent to increased natural contamination, did not cause any negative phenomena in any of the probands.     

Dynamics of exogenous progesterone in the blood of pigs stressed with polychlorobiphenyls (PCB)

For a period of 70 days, young gilts were given rations containing a commercial mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), produced in Czechoslovakia (Delor 105). One group of animals (A) was given feed containing 10 mg chlorobiphenyls per kg, the other group (B) was given feed containing 50 mg chlorobiphenyls per kg; on the whole, each animal of group A got 1 g of PCB mixture and each animal of group B 5 g. In about the mid-time of the experiment and before its termination the animals were given an i. m. injection of progesterone; then the animals were studied for the changes in the concentration of blood plasma progesterone. Statistically significant (P less than 0.05) and highly significant (P less than 0.01) differences in the values of the biological half-life of progesterone were found between the group of PCB-treated animals and the control group, and between groups A and B.     

The effect of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) on chickens: the effect of long-term administration of medium doses of Delor 103 on the levels of thyroxine, triiodothyronine and total calcium in the blood serum

A trial with the continual administration of feed contaminated with the Delor 103 preparation (polychlorinated biphenyls--PCB) at a rate of 75 mg per kg for chicks lasted four weeks. The concentrations of serum thyroxine and triiodothyronine were found to decrease, the concentrations of total calcium increased and at the Delor 103 doses of 150 mg per kg even the phosphorus concentration and the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the serum of chicks decreased. The addition of potassium iodide to feed (250 mg per kg) did not influence the clinical picture of Delor 103 intoxication. The results confirm a finding that in the course of PCB intoxication severe disorders of the thyroid gland take place and calcium metabolism is disturbed. This finding is important in view of evaluation of the intoxication of young, growing chicks.     

The effect of polyclorinated biphenyls in chickens: the effect of short-term administration of high doses of Delor 103 on the levels of thyroxine, triiodothyronine, sodium, potassium and calcium in the blood

The trial with a short-time receiving (7 days) of high doses of the preparation Delor 103 (PCB) to chickens (1000 mg.kg-1 feed stuffs) had a long-run negative effect on their state of health. Clinical picture of intoxication resembled an involution syndrome. A defect persistence of the conversion of thyroid hormone T4 to T3 was found. Regeneration of T4 hormone production was rather fast. Supplement of hormones T4 and T3 to feed had no significant influence on the course of intoxication, but it caused changes in concentrations of K+, Ca++, and the total calcium in the blood serum of the birds. Simultaneous supplement of Delor 103 moderated the intensity of changes induced by exogenous flow of thyroid hormones. Histological changes were demonstrated in the primary lymph organs, which supported of findings of immunosuppressive effect in PCB. Supplement of the thyreostatic Carbimazol (Carbimazolum/1-carbaetoxy-3-methyl-2-thioimidazolin um) caused no symptoms testifying to hypofunction of thyroid gland in chickens.     

Excessive dietary selenium to primiparous sows and their offspring. I. Influence on reproduction and growth

The effect of high dietary selenium (Se) on the reproductive performance, growth and health in pigs was examined. Addition of 0 to 16 mg Se per kg feed to sows and their piglets up to nine weeks of age did not cause any manifest toxic effect. None of the sows died due to the Se treatment. The piglets were all fullborn and showed no macroscopic abnormalities. The treatment did not influence neither the number of liveborn and stillborn piglets in the litter, nor the survival of the piglets until 9 weeks of age. The weight of the whole litter at birth was unaffected by the Se supplementation, while there was a significant difference in body weight of the piglets at 9 weeks of age. The weaned pigs receiving 8 or 16 mg Se per kg feed had a reduced feed intake. As the feed utilization was unaffected by treatment, these pigs had a significantly lower weight at 9 weeks of age.     

Induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes in chickens effected by various persistent foreign materials]

Changes in the levels of microsomal proteins, in the activity of microsomal aniline hydroxylase, and in the effectivity of Thiopental were studied in chickens given the Czechoslovak-produced type of polychlorinated biphenyls - Delor 103. The increased activity of aniline hydroxylase and the decrease of Thiopental sleeping time in chickens exposed to the action of Delor 103 indicate that this preparation is able to induce liver microsomal enzymes in doses as low as 5 mg per kg of feed. The induction of liver microsomal enzymes appears to be an important factor, able to exercise a direct influence on the biotransformation of various biologically important substances in the organism of chickens.

Effect of Supplementary Feeding Milk Replacer on Growth Performance,Nutrient Digestibility,Serum Biochemistry Indexes in Piglets during Lactation

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of supplementary feeding milk replacer on growth performance,nutrient digestibility,serum biochemistry indexes in piglets during lactation,and explore the feasibility of shorten the weaning age of piglets by feeding milk replacer. One hundred and twenty (twelve litters) 5 days old piglets with average body weight of (3.12±0.63)kg were assigned into two groups with sixty piglets per group (six litters)and one litter of piglets per replicate. The piglets in control group received supplementary creep feed and were weaned on 28 days old,whereas the piglets in experimental group received supplementary creep feed and milk replacer (creep feed:milk replacer=1:1) and were weaned on 21 days old. The piglets in experimental group were continued feeding with creep feed and milk replacer until 28 days old. All piglets were fed with same diets from 28 to 70 days old. The results showed as follows:① Comparing with control group,the body weight of piglets in experimental group were not significantly changed at 5,21,28 and 70 days old (P>0.05),ADFI and F/G were extremely significantly or significantly increased during 5 to 21 days old,22 to 28 days old and 5 to 28 days old (P < 0.01;P < 0.05),while ADG was extremely significantly decreased during 22 to 28 days old compared with control group (P<0.01).② The digestibility of GE,DM,OM and EE of experimental group were significant higher than control group (P<0.05).③ All serum biochemistry indexes between the two groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). In conclusion,supplementary milk replacer feeding could increase the feed intake and dietary digestibility of weaned piglets. The age of wean could be forward to 21 days old according to the final body weight of weaned piglets when fed milk replacer supplementation.

不同复合诱食剂在仔猪教槽料和保育料中配合应用效果研究

本试验旨在研究香甜鲜复合诱食剂和香甜复合物诱食剂配合使用对仔猪生长性能、血清生化指标、养分表观消化率及粪便微生物数量的影响。选取8窝7日龄的大白仔猪,随机分为2个组,每个组4个重复,2个组分别用基础教槽料(对照组)和添加2 kg/t香甜鲜复合诱食剂的试验教槽料进行教槽训练。21日龄断奶时饲喂3 d粥状料过度(采食量无统计)。然后,分别在2个组中选取28头体重相近、体况良好的24日龄仔猪,每个组4个重复,继续饲喂相应教槽料。仔猪37日龄时更换保育料,对照组仍为基础保育料,试验组在基础保育料基础上添加0.8 kg/t香甜复合诱食剂,直至试验结束。试验期59 d。结果表明:1)经过前期教槽训练,与对照组相比,教槽料中添加香甜鲜复合诱食剂能显著提高断奶仔猪的平均日采食量(P0.10),显著降低血清中胰高血糖素样肽-1的含量(P0.10)。2)在保育阶段,与对照组相比,保育料中添加香甜复合诱食剂能显著提高断奶仔猪的平均日采食量和平均日增重(P0.10)。综合分析,2种复合诱食剂在仔猪教槽料和保育料中配合应用可以提高仔猪的生长性能,对粪便微生物菌群和养分表观消化率没有影响。     

The effect of polychlorinated biphenyls in chickens: pathologic changes in the organs after short-term and long-term administration of Delor 103

Short-time administration (for a week) of feed experimentally contaminated by Delor 103 at a rate of 1000 mg per kg resulted in chick mortality higher than 30%, in great cytological changes in the central lymphatic organs, thyroid atrophy, liver dystrophy with hyperplasia of the epithelium of intrahepatic bile ducts and hydro-pericardium. Delor 103 rates of 150 mg and 75 mg per 1 kg feed administered for a long time (four weeks) did not induce any great mutual differences in pathological changes. In comparison with lesions found after the administration of the high rate for a short time, the lesions in bursa Fabricii and thymus were analogical, but less intensive, and they were manifest in a different degree of the depletion of germinal centres, and dystrophic changes were also observed in kidneys and testicles since the seventh and eighth week. Signs of reparative processes were observed at the same time in all examined organs since the seventh week. The cytolysis of central lymphatic organs and hydropericardium are being considered as regular morphological changes accompanying PCB intoxication in domestic fowl.     

爱拔益加肉仔鸡对胍基乙酸的耐受性评价

本试验旨在研究饲粮添加胍基乙酸(GAA)对爱拔益加(AA)肉仔鸡生长性能、血液学指标、脏器指数、组织同型半胱氨酸含量以及组织形态的影响,以系统评价AA肉仔鸡对GAA的耐受性。试验选用540只1日龄AA肉仔鸡公雏,随机分为5个组,每组6个重复,每个重复18只鸡。5组试鸡分别饲喂在基础饲粮中添加0、800、1 600、4 000和8 000 mg/kg GAA的饲粮。试验期42 d,分为前期(1~21日龄)和后期(22~42日龄)2个阶段。结果表明:与对照组相比,饲粮添加800~4 000 mg/kg GAA显著提高了肉仔鸡前期、后期和全期平均日增重(P0.05),显著降低其后期和全期料重比(P0.05),但对各期平均日采食量均无显著影响(P0.05)。饲粮添加8 000 mg/kg GAA组的平均日增重、平均日采食量和料重比与对照组相比差异不显著(P0.05)。饲粮添加800~8 000 mg/kg GAA对21、42日龄肉仔鸡血常规指标、血清生化指标、脏器指数和组织同型半胱氨酸含量均无显著影响(P0.05)。饲粮添加4 000、8 000 mg/kg GAA对肉仔鸡肝脏和肾脏组织形态无不良影响。由此可见,肉仔鸡饲粮中添加GAA对其生长性能、血液学指标、脏器指数、组织同型半胱氨酸含量和组织形态无不良影响,肉仔鸡可耐受8 000 mg/kg GAA。
