Using vibrational molecular spectroscopy to detect moist heating induced carbohydrates structure changes in cool-climate adapted barley grain

There is limited research to study how moist heating affects internal structure of barley grain on a molecular basis. The objectives of this study were to use vibrational molecular spectroscopy: 1) to determine the moist heating induced changes of barley carbohydrate (CHO) structure on a molecular basis, 2) to study the effects of moist heating on CHO chemical profiles, Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) subfractions, in situ rumen degradation, and predicted intestinal carbohydrate supply of barley grain; and 3) to reveal the association between molecular structure spectral features and CHO related metabolic characteristics. Barley samples (CDC cowboy) were collected from Kernen Crop Research Farm (Saskatoon, Canada) during two consecutive years. Half of each sample was kept as raw barley and the other half underwent moist heating (autoclaving at 120 °C for 60 min). The molecular spectroscopy (attenuated total reflectance-fourier transform infrared, ATR-FTIR) was used to detect the barley CHO related molecular structure spectral features. Moist heating did not affect carbohydrate related chemical profiles and CNCPS subfractions but it decreased rumen degradable carbohydrate. Rumen undegradable and intestinal digestion of CHO subfractions were not affected by moist heating. The advanced vibrational molecular spectroscopy can be used to detect carbohydrate molecular spectral features. Nutrient utilization prediction using molecular spectral characteristics is warranted and further investigation is encouraged.     

生物炭浸提液对小白菜种子萌发及幼苗荧光作用的影响

生物炭被广泛应用于低产地改良以及重金属污染土壤修复，但是其应用可能对植物存在潜在毒性。为了揭示生物炭的潜在植物毒性，用不同来源、不同浓度生物炭浸提液对小白菜种子进行处理，检测种子萌发以及幼苗生长相关指标。结果显示，酒糟生物炭和梨木生物炭浸提液对小白菜种子萌发以及幼苗生长具有明显作用，但不同生物炭浸提液以及不同浓度浸提液影响差异较大。①酒糟生物炭和梨木生物炭浸提液原液均显著降低小白菜种子萌发(P<0.05)，但稀释后的浸提液却促进小白菜种子萌发，尤其是稀释50倍后梨木炭浸提液和酒糟炭浸提液处理的小白菜种子萌发率分别比对照高16.67%和8.33%；②生物炭浸提液可提高小白菜幼苗株高和根系活力，尤其浸提液原液处理的植株株高、根系活力显著高于对照(P<0.05)；酒糟生物炭浸提液的促进作用明显低于梨木生物炭；③生物炭浸提液均可提高小白菜幼苗叶片叶绿素含量、光化学效率（Fv/Fm）、实际量子产量（ΦPSⅡ）和表观光电子传递速率（ETR）等，且供试植株幼苗叶片叶绿素含量、Fv/Fm、ΦPSⅡ、ETR等随生物炭浸提液浓度增加而增加；但酒糟浸提液对小白菜幼苗叶片荧光作用的影响低于梨木生物炭浸提液；④生物炭浸提液能显著降低幼苗丙二醛含量 (P<0.05)，且其随生物炭浸提液浓度增加而降低。由此表明，酒糟生物炭和梨木生物炭浸提稀释液均可提高小白菜种子萌发率及幼苗根系活力，增强幼苗叶片的荧光作用，但酒糟生物炭浸提液的影响作用低于梨木生物炭。

Effect of different levels of dietary sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) peel extract on humoral immune system responses in broiler chickens

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) peel extract (SOPE) on humoral immune system responses in broiler chickens. Three hundred 1‐day broilers (Ross‐308) were randomly allocated to treatments varying in supplemental SOPE added in the drinking water. The experimental groups consisted of three treatments fed for 42 days as follows: a control treatment without feed extract, a treatment containing 1000 ppm of SOPE and a treatment containing 1250 ppm of SOPE. All treatments were isocaloric and isonitrogenous. Broilers were vaccinated with Newcastle disease virus (NDV), avian influenza (AI), infectious bursal disease (IBD) and infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) vaccines. Antibody titer response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) was higher in the group fed 1250 ppm of SOPE (P < 0.05) as well as for immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM. Similarly, antibody titer responses to all vaccines were constantly elevated (P < 0.05) by SOPE enrichment in a dose‐dependent manner. Relative weights of spleen and bursa of Fabricius were unaffected by treatments. Dietary SOPE supplementation may improve the immune response and diseases resistance, indicating that it can constitute a useful additive in broiler feeding. Thus, supplying SOPE in rations may help to improve relative immune response in broiler chickens.
