改善奶牛氮磷利用效率的营养策略

氮磷在奶牛生长、发育和生产过程中发挥着重要作用,但在实际生产中,饲粮氮磷含量往往过高,而奶牛对于氮磷的利用效率普遍偏低,这不仅会造成饲料资源的浪费,而且加重了氮磷的排放,导致严重的环境污染.合理减少饲粮氮磷含量、提高奶牛机体对氮磷的利用效率具有重要的现实意义.因此,本文主要从影响氮磷利用效率的因素,以及改善奶牛氮磷利用效率的营养策略2个方面进行了综述,以期为提高奶牛氮磷利用效率,减少氮磷向环境的排放,提高奶牛场经济和生态效益提供理论依据.     

Effect of meloxicam administration after calving on milk production,acute phase proteins,and behavior in dairy cows

Calving is an intrinsically risky process that can cause welfare and economic problems. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug meloxicam on various physiological and behavioral measures which can be related to pain in cattle. Sixty Friesian dairy cows from first to sixth parity were studied around calving and were randomly allocated into 2 homogeneous groups relative to parity and treated with either meloxicam or a placebo after calving. Treatments were administered on average 3.4 hours after calving, within a maximum of 6 hours. Calf positions at calving and calving assistance (unassisted or easy manual pull) were recorded. Milk production, rectal temperature, and activity (calculated as the number of steps per hour) were measured on each cow. From a subsample of 20 cows, haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA) concentrations were also obtained. The following behaviors were observed on video recordings: posture, changing posture, location of cow in pen, feeding, and tail up behaviors 2 days before and after calving. Statistical analysis was carried out with the SAS software using MIXED or GENMOD procedures. Most variables showed a parity and/or time effect around calving. This study did not demonstrate any significant effect of meloxicam on milk production or on acute phase responses of Hp and SAA. However, postcalving activity was significantly increased in meloxicam-treated heifers.     

基于改进YOLOV5s网络的奶牛多尺度行为识别方法

奶牛站立、喝水、行走、躺卧等日常行为与其生理健康密切相关,高效准确识别奶牛行为对及时掌握奶牛健康状况,提高养殖场经济效益具有重要意义。针对群体养殖环境下奶牛行为数据中,场景复杂、目标尺度变化大、奶牛行为多样等对行为识别造成的干扰,该研究提出一种改进YOLOV5s奶牛多尺度行为识别方法。该方法在骨干网络顶层引入基于通道的Transformer注意力机制使模型关注奶牛目标区域,同时对奶牛多尺度行为目标增加路径聚合结构的支路与检测器获取底层细节特征,并引入SE（Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks）注意力机制优化检测器,构建SEPH（SE Prediction Head）识别重要特征,提高奶牛多尺度行为识别能力。试验验证改进后的奶牛行为识别模型在无权重激增的同时,多尺度目标识别结果的平均精度均值较YOLOV5s提高1.2个百分点,尤其是对奶牛行走识别结果的平均精度4.9个百分点,研究结果为群体养殖环境下,全天实时监测奶牛行为提供参考。     

Milk Yield of Holstein Cows Induced into Lactation Twice Consecutively and Lactation Curve Models Fitted to Artiifcial Lactations

Nineteen multiparous barren Holstein cows were subjected to an induction of lactation protocol for 21 d administering estradiol cypionate （2 mg kg-1 of body weight （BW） d-1, on day 1 to 14）, progesterone （0.10 mg kg-1 of BW, on day 1 to 7）, lfumethasone （0.03 mg kg-1 of BW, on day 18 to 20） and recombinant bovine somatotropin （rbST;500 mg per cow, on day 1, 6, 16 and 21）. At the end of lactation and with a minimum of a 2-mon dry period, the same cows were again hormonally induced into lactation. Cows in both lactations were not artiifcially inseminated, they were milked 3 times daily and received rbST throughout lactation. Mean accumulated milk yield at 305 d in milk （DIM） did not differ between the ifrst and second induced lactations （（9 710 ＆#177;1 728） vs. （9 309＆#177;2 150） kg;mean＆#177;SD）. Total milk yield （（12 707＆#177;3 406） vs. （12 306＆#177;4 218） kg;mean＆#177;SD） and lactation length （（405＆#177;100） vs. （410＆#177;91） d;mean＆#177;SD） were not different between the ifrst and second induced lactations. In a second study, 15 empirical models including exponential, power law, yield-density, sigmoidal and miscellaneous models were compared for their suitability by modeling 12-mon （n=334）, 18-mon （n=164） and 29-mon （n=22） lactation cycles of Holsteins cows induced into lactation and treated with rbST throughout the lactation. Hoerl （Y=ab1/xxc）, Wood （Y=axb exp（cx）） and Dhanoa （Y=ax（bc）exp（cx）） models were equally suitable to describe 12-mon lactations. An exponential model with ifve parameters （Y=exp（a＋bx＋cd2＋e/x）） showed the best ift for milk yield for 18-mon lactations. The rational model （Y=a＋bx/1＋cx＋dx2） was found to produce the closest ift for 29-mon lactations. It was concluded that, with the protocol used in the present study, multiparous cows respond favorably to a second cycle of induced lactation, with milk yield similar to that experienced during the ifrst cycle. Thus, dairy producers might be able to lengthen the productive life of infertile high producing cows with a renewal of artiifcial lactation, which would imply an overall reduction in voluntary culling of cows. Also, various equations used to describe the lactation curves demonstrated the potential for iftting monthly milk records of Holstein cows with prolonged lactations and induced hormonally into lactation.

Long term studies on bone mineral changes during different lactations in Swedish dairy cattle

Changes in the bone mineral content (BMG) during the first 4 lactations were continuously studied between July 1977 and February 1982 in a total number of 103 dairy cows of different breeds and rearing intensities. The BMG was measured by dichromatic photon absorptiometry in 2 coccygeal vertebrae. Although great individual variations were found, the changes in BMG during the lactation followed a typical pattern with high values during the dry period and low values after calving and during mid-lactation. The influence of body weight on the BMC value is discussed. The changes in BMC were more accentuated during the first lactation, as compared to the subsequent lactations. This could indicate a metabolically more active skeleton in younger cows. In this study no difference in BMC pattern was observed between cows affected or not affected by parturient paresis.     

Small electric currents affecting farm animals and man: A review with special reference to stray voltage

The literature on the electrical properties of the body and sensitivity to steady electric current in humans and farm animals is reviewed and the problem of stray voltage is examined. Stray voltage poses a problem to animal health and protection in cattle and pigs and possibly also in other animals. Dairy cattle can perceive alternating currents exceeding 1 mA between the mouth and all four hooves. Behavioural effects in cows usually occur above 3 mA. In practice, the major influence on dairy cows appears to be behavioural. In experimental research on sensitivity to electric current, the effects studied should be related primarily to the actual current densities or electric fields in the affected tissues rather than to the total voltages applied. Under normal conditions, herdsmen are less likely to be affected by stray voltage than their animals.     

奶牛产后气虚血瘀证与血浆SOD、MDA变化的关系

选用产后健康奶牛18例和产后气虚血瘀证奶牛9例，于产后1、2、4、7、10、15、30d采血分离血浆，黄嘌呤氧化酶法测定超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性，硫代巴比妥酸法测定丙二醛(MDA)含量。结果，血浆SOD活性组内比较产后健康组整个检测期在一定范围内波动，差显不显著(P>0.05)；气虚血瘀证组产后15、30d极显著高于产后1、2d(P<0.01)，显著高于产后4d(P<0.05)；产后7、10d显著高于产后1、2d(P<0.05)。组间比较气虚血瘀证组产后1、2、4d显著低于同时间产后健康组(P<0.01或P<0.05)。血浆MDA含量组内比较产后健康组整个检测期在一定范围内波动，差异不显著(P>0.05)；气虚血瘀证组产后1d极显著高于产后10、15、30d(P<0.01)，显著高于7d(P<0.05)；产后1、2、4、7d显著高于产后15、30d(P<0.05)。组间比较气虚血瘀证组产后1、2、4、7d极显著高于同时间产后健康组(P<0.01)。结果初步表明，SOD、MDA的变化参与了产后气虚血瘀证的发生、发展与转归过程。
