高粱在畜禽日粮中的应用研究

高粱的抗旱性强，比玉米的生长环境条件更宽广。随着玉米、小麦等能量原料价格的高涨，为了降低成本，提高产品竞争力，很多大型饲料企业开始从国外进口高粱。然而，由于高粱中含有丹宁，与玉米相比，用高梁作为饲料原料降低了非反刍动物对能量和其它养分的消化利用率。文章就目前高粱在非反刍动物营养中的研究应用进行了总结。     

Early harvest and ensilage of forage sorghum infected with ergot (Claviceps africana) reduces the risk of livestock poisoning

Sorghum ergot produces dihydroergosine (DHES) and related alkaloids, which cause hyperthermia in cattle. Proportions of infected panicles (grain heads), leaves and stems were determined in two forage sorghum crops extensively infected 2 to 4 weeks prior to sampling and the panicles were assayed for DHES. Composite samples from each crop, plus a third grain variety crop, were coarsely chopped and half of each sealed in plastic buckets for 6 weeks to simulate ensilation. The worst-infected panicles contained up to 55 mg DHES/kg, but dilution reduced average concentrations of DHES in crops to approximately 1 mg/kg, a relatively safe level for cattle. Ensilation significantly (P = 0.043) reduced mean DHES concentrations from 0.85 to 0.46 mg/kg.     

甜高粱主要农艺性状的主成分分析

对国内外194份甜高粱品种进行了10个主要农艺性状调查。采用主成分分析,发现穗重、生育期、生物产量、穗长、茎粗、分蘖及含糖量等7个因子为农艺性状的主成分。在甜高粱育种中应加强生物产量选择,适当考虑含糖量及生育期,但穗重、分蘖和茎粗不宜过高,并且穗长越短越好。研究结果将为甜高粱的品种改良和创新提供理论依据。     

几种饲料作物在内蒙古呼和浩特地区的生产性能评价

在内蒙古呼和浩特地区,种植并评价了6种(品种)饲用高粱和高丹草类植物的生产性能及作为饲用植物的价值。结果表明,此类植物具有高产、饲用价值高、利用方便等特点,应用前景广阔,可以考虑作为饲用玉米和苏丹草类植物的换代产品。从植物产量、叶量和分蘖特性等方面综合考虑,饲用高粱大力士和高丹草健宝明显优于其他品种,可以作为该地区的首选推广品种。     

Effects of High-tannin Sorghum and Bentonite on the Performance of Laying Hens

The effects of feeding high-tannin sorghum (HTS) (5% catechin equivalents (CE)) on the performance of laying hens were examined in two experiments. In experiment 1, the effects of including varying levels of HTS in layer diets were investigated. Sixty-three Isabrown hens were randomly assigned to each of the seven diets over a period of 56 days. In experiment 2, the effects of bentonite on the utilization of HTS (3.74% CE) by laying hens were investigated. Forty-five Isabrown hens were randomly assigned to each of five diets over a period of 42 days. In both experiments, weekly measurements were made for feed intake (FI), percent hen-house production (% HHP), egg weight and egg specific gravity (ESG). The results of experiment 1 showed that the different sorghum inclusion levels had no effect (p>0.05) on HHP, egg weight and ESG, while those of experiment 2 showed that maize and LTS diets gave similar weight gain, FI and FE (p>0.05). However, HHP was higher (p<0.05) for the LTS diet than for the other diets. The addition of bentonite of 0.25% or 0.5% to the HTS diet did not improve (p>0.05) layer performance. When all the results were considered together, it was concluded that HTS can be used in layer diets without adverse effects on performance. The use of bentonite to deactivate sorghum tannins is not considered necessary.     

Growth and Apparent Absorption of Minerals in Broiler Chicks Fed Diets with Low or High Tannin Contents

Sorghum grains with low (0.28 per cent catechin equivalent (%CE) or high (1.36 %CE)) tannin contents were used to study the effect of tannin on growth and on the apparent absorption of Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, Fe and Co by chickens. High-tannin sorghum caused a highly significant (p0.01) reduction in the weight gain and feed intake of broiler chicks compared to low-tannin sorghum and increased the feed conversion ratio (p0.01). The amount of tannin did not affect mortality. The apparent absorption of Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, Fe and Co was reduced (p0.01) by feeding sorghum grains with a high tannin content.     

甘肃天祝高寒地区5种灌木中酚类物质含量的研究

对甘肃天祝金强河高寒地区5种灌木中的酚类物质含量进行了测定和比较分析。结果表明,不同的灌木品种其酚类物质的含量不同。藏沙棘总酚,单宁和缩合单宁的干物质含量均高于其他灌木,分别高达69.67,63.34和42.45 g/kg,而其简单酚的干物质含量最低,仅为4.27 g/kg。窄叶鲜卑木的酚类物质含量较低,与其他灌木相比差异极显著(P<0.01)。相关性分析表明,单宁和简单酚含量呈显著的正相关关系(r=0.94,P<0.01),与缩合单宁的相关系数为r=0.82(P<0.05),而简单酚与缩合单宁含量呈不显著的负相关关系。
