早期营养干预对幼龄反刍动物瘤胃微生物区系发育的影响

正常稳定的瘤胃微生物区系是反刍动物瘤胃健康的重要指标,且在瘤胃结构形态发育、微生物定植模式、免疫功能调节及抵御外源致病因子侵袭等方面发挥着重要积极作用。最近研究表明,新生反刍动物瘤胃微生物组成相对单一,但随着早期瘤胃发育过程中不同微生物群落相继开始定植并占据不同的生态位,此时的营养干预可能会形成特定的微生物群落组合并产生持久影响,这为进一步提高反刍动物生产性能和健康水平提供了更好的长期策略。本研究主要从3个方面详细综述了早期营养干预对瘤胃微生态系统发育的最新研究成果,包括探索幼龄反刍动物瘤胃形态及功能发育、寻找影响早期瘤胃微生物群落定植的因素及最佳调控“窗口期”的选择,并对宿主与微生物群落间的免疫互作进行简要剖析,以期为通过早期营养干预调控瘤胃微生物区系,提高反刍动物生产性能来应对全球畜牧业挑战,并为提高秸秆纤维利用率及抑制甲烷排放提供理论依据。     

黄芪多糖在LPS诱导的DF-1细胞炎症反应中的抗炎作用及其调节机制

为探讨黄芪多糖(Astragalus polysaccharide,APS)在LPS(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)诱导的鸡胚成纤维细胞系DF-1(chicken embryonic fibroblast cell line,DF-1)炎症模型中对IL-1β和TNF-α表达的影响,以及细胞因子信号转导抑制因子3(suppressers of cytokine signaling 3,SOCS3)对炎症信号通路NF-κBp65和p38MAPK的调节机制。将DF-1细胞分为对照组(C)、LPS组(L)、APS组(A)以及APS+LPS组(A+L),分别在LPS刺激后6,12,24,48,72 h检测各组细胞IL-1β、TNF-α、NF-κBp65、p38MAPK和SOCS3 mRNA和蛋白水平的变化。研究发现,当LPS终质量浓度为2 mg/L时可诱导DF-1细胞出现明显的炎症反应,而APS终质量浓度为100 mg/L时为本试验最佳抗炎浓度。与对照组相比,APS组炎性因子IL-1β和TNF-αmRNA表达及蛋白含量在6~72 h均显著升高(P<0.05);与LPS组相比,APS+LPS组SOCS3 mRNA表达在6~72 h均显著升高(P<0.05),NF-κBp65、IL-1β和TNF-αmRNA表达在6~72 h均显著降低(P<0.05),而p38MAPK变化不显著(P>0.05)。在DF-1细胞中,APS单独处理可以促进IL-1β和TNF-α等细胞因子释放而增强免疫;APS和LPS共处理时,APS通过抑制炎性因子IL-1β和TNF-α的释放发挥抗炎作用,这种抑制作用与高表达的SOCS3对NF-κBp65过度激活密切相关。     

基于转录组测序分析研究枸芪多糖对育肥猪肠黏膜免疫功能的作用机理

本试验旨在研究枸芪多糖对育肥猪肠黏膜免疫调控的关键基因,阐明其对肠黏膜免疫功能的可能作用机理。选用80~90日龄的健康育肥母猪180头,随机分为2组,每组6个重复,每个重复15头猪。对照组饲喂基础饲粮,试验组在基础饲粮中添加0.1%的枸芪多糖,试验期90 d。采集育肥猪的空肠肠段,提取RNA后进行转录组测序分析差异免疫基因的表达。结果显示:1)与对照组相比,饲粮中添加枸芪多糖差异表达的免疫基因有75个,其中有26个上调基因和49个下调基因。2)基因本体(GO)富集分析显示差异表达基因主要参与免疫调节、免疫应答和应激反应,信号通路分析显示差异表达基因主要富集在以白细胞介素-17(IL-17)信号通路、NOD样受体信号通路为主的免疫信号通路。3)通过对肠黏膜差异表达的关键基因原癌基因Jun(JUN)和原癌基因Fos(FOS)的探究可见,与对照组相比,试验组白细胞介素-18(IL-18)、补体5(C5)、JUN和FOS的基因表达受到抑制,Jun和Fos的蛋白表达显著降低(P<0.05)。综上所述,在饲粮中添加枸芪多糖可提高肥育猪的肠黏膜免疫功能。枸芪多糖通过调节JUN、FOS、IL-18等免疫相关基因的表达,影响IL-17和NOD样受体信号通路,以此来抑制炎症反应。     

Investigations of the maintenance system of the Konik Polski horse and its effects on fecal microbiota activity during the winter and summer seasons

Gastrointestinal microbiota play a key role in the nutrients digestion and hence maintaining animal health and welfare. The diet offered to the animals in captivity may differ considerably from that on natural pastures. In a stabled maintenance system, horses have a limited choice of habitat and feed. Time spend for feeding is relevant for equine welfare because the reduction of the time devoted for foraging may be responsible for inducing gastric inflammation and ulceration. Therefore, in the present study, it was hypothesized that fecal bacterial fermentative processes differ between free-roaming and stabled Konik Polski Horses (KPHs) with respect to microbial enzymatic activity, and thus the fecal concentration of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), which can be further utilized for assessing the feeding behavior and welfare in free-roaming versus stabled horses. The SCFA concentration and profile, as well as the extracellular and intracellular activities of selected bacterial enzymes, were characterized in horse feces collected during the winter and summer feeding seasons. The results showed higher enzymatic activity and SCFA production in the feces excreted by free-roaming versus stabled horses, especially during summer. An increase in pasture plant diversity may be beneficial for the gastrointestinal microbiota and hence for maintaining health and welfare.

[目的] 建立一种浑浊型微生态菌剂悬浮剂的制备方法,并对其稳定性进行评价。[方法] 以黄原胶和羧甲基纤维素钠为稳定剂,以饲用微生态菌剂干粉为悬浮成分,制备微生物水悬浮体系。对制备的悬浮剂进行稳定性评价,测定指标包括稳定系数、黏度、存放稳定性、冷贮存稳定性和活菌总数。[结果] 随着稳定剂添加比例的增加,悬浮剂的稳定系数逐渐增加。添加0.20%稳定剂,体系的稳定系数达到91.38%,极显著（P<0.01）高于空白对照组。悬浮体系的黏度随着稳定剂添加量的增加和贮存温度的降低而增大,当稳定剂添加比例为0.20%时,体系不出现分层现象,达到稳定状态。经过24 h冷贮存（4 ℃）后,添加0.10%稳定剂的悬浮剂活菌数出现下降,添加0.10%~0.25%稳定剂显著（P<0.05）低于空白对照组,但仍维持在10⁹ CFU/mL以上。[结论] 稳定剂添加量为0.20%时,饲用微生态菌剂悬浮剂无分层现象出现,无论常温还是冷贮存24 h后,制成的悬浮剂中活菌数均保持在10⁹ CFU/mL以上,能够保证饲用微生态菌剂的有效活菌数。     

Long‐Term Tillage and Cropping System Effects on Chemical and Biochemical Characteristics of Soil Organic Matter in a Mediterranean Semiarid Environment

Several studies have reported how tillage and cropping systems affect quantity, quality, and distribution of soil organic matter (SOM) along the profile. However, the effect of soil management on the chemical structure of SOM and on its hydrophobic and hydrophilic components has been little investigated. In this work, the long‐term (19 years) effects of two cropping systems (wheat monoculture and wheat/faba bean rotation) and three tillage managements (conventional, reduced, and no tillage) on some chemical characteristics of SOM and their relationships with labile carbon (C) pools were evaluated. Soil samples were taken from the topsoil (0–15 cm) of a Chromic Haploxerert (central Sicily, Italy). After 19 years of different tillage and cropping systems management, total organic C significantly differed among treatments with the labile organic C pools showing the greater amount in no till and in wheat/faba bean plots. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic components of SOM, determined by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, were mainly affected by cropping system, whereas aromatic components of SOM by tillage. Soil organic matter components and characteristics showed significant correlations with the soil biochemical parameters, confirming the expected synergism between chemical and biochemical properties. This study demonstrated that (i) no tillage and crop rotation improve the chemical and biochemical properties of SOM of Vertisols under semiarid environment; and (ii) tillage management and cropping systems have affected, after 19 years, more the chemical and biochemical properties of SOM than its quantity.

9种牧草对青海同德牧区土壤特性的影响

通过对青海省高寒牧区常见的9种多年生牧草单播2年后耕层0~15cm土壤理化(pH、容重(BD)、有机碳(SOC)、全氮(TN)、无机碳(C)及微生物学性质(微生物生物量碳(Cmic)、氮(Nmic)和群落代谢功能)等指标的测定分析,结果表明,研究区域只有在种植披碱草2年后土壤有机碳含量有所增加,说明与其他草种相比,种植披碱草利于有机质的积累;试验在每年施肥1次的情况下,土壤氮含量仍然偏低,说明此区氮素被过度利用,处于缺乏水平,因此每年增施氮肥数量、频率以及时间上应加强管理。通过对不同牧草种植区土壤各因子的聚类分析,发现贫花鹅观草、无芒雀麦、紫野麦草和扁穗冰草之间相似度较高,表明其对土壤养分及微生物群落功能的影响较为接近,故在大面积种植的时候可根据牧草地上生物量/质量的高低进行选择性播种。从土壤质量方向考虑,种植杂花苜蓿、红豆草和西北羊茅不利于土地的改良。
