Effect of chlorogenic acid on intestinal inflammation,antioxidant status,and microbial community of young hens challenged with acute heat stress

Heat stress in poultry is deleterious to productive performance. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) exerts antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplemental CGA on the intestinal health and cecal microbiota composition of young hens challenged with acute heat stress. 100-day-old Hy-line brown pullets were randomly divided into four groups. The control group (C) and heat stress group (HS) received a basal diet. HS + CGA₃₀₀ group and HS + CGA₆₀₀ group received a basal diet supplemented with 300- and 600-mg/kg CGA, respectively, for 2 weeks before heat stress exposure. Pullets of HS, HS + CGA₃₀₀, and HS + CGA₆₀₀ group were exposed to 38°C for 4 h while the control group was maintained at 25°C. In this study, dietary CGA supplementation had effect on mitigate the decreased T-AOC and T-SOD activities and the increasing of IL-1β and TNFα induced by acute heat stress. Dietary supplementation with 600 mg/kg CGA had better effect on increasing the relative abundance of beneficial bacterial genera, such as Rikenellaceae RC9_gut_group, Ruminococcaceae UCG-005, and Christensenellaceae R-7_group, and deceasing bacteria genera involved in inflammation, such as Sutterella species. Therefore, CGA can ameliorate acute heat stress damage through suppressing inflammation and improved antioxidant capacity and cecal microbiota composition.     

不同杀虫剂及其组合对梨小食心虫初孵幼虫的毒力及田间防效

采用浸泡幼果法测定了6种杀虫剂及其两元复配组合对梨小食心虫初孵幼虫的毒力, 并将筛选出的增效组合在田间进行防效验证。结果表明, 阿维菌素、氯虫苯甲酰胺、高效氯氟氰菊酯、呋虫胺、噻虫嗪和溴氰虫酰胺对梨小食心虫初孵幼虫的致死中浓度(LC50)分别为：0.691、4.883、5.350、10.326、13.966和27.942 mg/L。两元复配组合中, 阿维菌素与呋虫胺复配组合(8∶1、2∶1、1∶1、1∶2和1∶4)、呋虫胺与氯虫苯甲酰胺复配组合(1∶4、1∶2、1∶1、2∶1和4∶1)、阿维菌素与氯虫苯甲酰胺复配组合(4∶1、1∶1和1∶4)和高效氯氟氰菊酯与呋虫胺复配组合(1∶4)具有增效作用。在梨小食心虫暴发为害年份、于梨果不同发育阶段进行田间防效验证, 阿维菌素与呋虫胺1∶4（12.5 mg/kg+50 mg/kg）、呋虫胺与氯虫苯甲酰胺2∶1(25 mg/kg+12.5 mg/kg)和阿维菌素与氯虫苯甲酰胺1∶1(12.5 mg/kg+12.5 mg/kg)对梨小食心虫的防效分别为75.02%~94.81%、50.04%~89.15%和42.90%~90.57%, 其中, 阿维菌素与呋虫胺(1∶4)的防治效果最好。     

Impact of postovulatory food deprivation on the ova transport, hormonal profiles and metabolic changes in sows.

The effect of food deprivation on ova transport, hormonal profiles and metabolic changes was studied in 20 crossbred multiparous sows during their second oestrus after weaning. To determine the time of ovulation, transrectal ultrasonographic examination was performed. The sows were divided into 2 groups, one control group (C-group), which was fed according to Swedish standards, and one experimental group (E-group). The E-group sows were deprived of food from the first morning meal after ovulation until slaughter. Blood samples were collected every second hour from about 12 h before expected ovulation in the second oestrus after weaning until slaughter and were analysed for progesterone, prostaglandin F2 alpha-metabolite, insulin, glucose, free fatty acids and triglycerides. All sows were slaughtered approximately 48 h after ovulation and the genital tract was recovered. The isthmic part of the oviduct was divided into 3 equally long segments and flushed separately with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Uterine horns were also flushed with PBS. A significantly greater number of ova were found in the first and second part of the isthmus in the E-group (p = 0.05) while in the C-group most of the ova were found in the third part of the isthmus or the uterus (p = 0.01). The level of prostaglandin F2 alpha-metabolite was significantly higher in the E-group compared with the C-group. The concentration of progesterone increased in both groups after ovulation but there were no significant differences between the groups. The other blood parameters showed that the food-deprived sows were in a catabolic state. The 48 h period of fasting results, directly or indirectly in an delayed ova transport, which may be due to a delayed relaxation in the smooth circular muscle layer of the isthmus.     

水分胁迫对荔枝幼树根系与梢生长的影响

以盆栽沙培1年生荔枝空中压条苗为试材,研究了水分胁迫对荔枝幼树根系和梢生长的影响以及二者的相互关系。3个处理为:沙体积含水量为7.5%(严重缺水),15.0%(一般缺水),22.5%(充分供水)。结果表明:水分胁迫严重抑制荔枝幼树地上部分和各级侧根的生长,使地上部枝梢生长严重受阻,叶片数量、平均叶面积、叶片厚度均显著变小;根总干重、侧根长度、根表面积显著减少。水分胁迫下促进须根的生长,须根的长度、根表面积比水分充足时显著增加。水分胁迫时叶片淀粉含量下降,而根系积累更多的淀粉。比较不同处理的根梢比发现,干旱对根系生长的抑制作用比枝梢更显著。

干旱胁迫对果树开花的诱导及对生理生化性状的影响

干旱胁迫是许多热带、亚热带果树花芽诱导的有效措施,现就干旱胁迫对果树开花诱导的效果以及对果树生理生化过程的影响进行讨论.认为干旱胁迫明显降低果树的营养生长,影响果树体内碳水化合物以及含氮化合物的含量水平和相对比例,明显调节果树体内内源激素含量状况,并有效促进部分果树的开花.同时对干旱诱导的时间、强度以及今后控水促花研究中尚需解决的问题进行了讨论.     

辣椒热胁迫及耐热性研究进展

热胁迫已经成为辣椒生产中不可忽视的环境因子.从热胁迫对辣椒生长发育的影响、辣椒耐热性的鉴定及提高辣椒耐热性的措施等方面,对近年来国内外有关辣椒耐热性研究的进展进行了综述,为进一步揭示辣椒耐热机制和提高辣椒耐热性的研究提供思路和参考.热胁迫下辣椒叶片净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Cs)和蒸腾速率持续下降,花粉和花药正常发育受阻,抗氧化系统受到破坏,胞内Ca2+分布异常,激素比例改变,但使用耐热品种可减轻热胁迫的影响.辣椒耐热性的鉴定指标主要包括胁迫类、保护类、光合作用类和生殖类指标等.由于涉及的代谢过程较多,辣椒耐热性需从多方面进行综合评价.提高辣椒耐热性的主要措施有热锻炼、外源化学物质处理、培育耐热品种等,其中培育耐热品种是最经济有效,同时也是对生态环境最友好的方法.
