Post-mortem recovery,in vitro maturation and fertilization of fallow deer (Dama dama,Linnaeus 1758) oocytes collected during reproductive and no reproductive season

Habitat degradation leads to small and fragmented populations, lower genetic variability and fertility overtime. Assisted reproductive techniques represent important tools to cope with the dramatic loss of biodiversity. Fallow deer (Dama dama), beyond its high commercial value and wide distribution, may represent the most suitable model to study endangered cervids. In this study, oocytes were recovered post-mortem from fallow deer during the breeding and no breeding seasons and were in vitro matured (IVM). The ability of cryopreserved thawed sperm samples recovered by electroejaculation from four adult males was tested by in vitro fertilization of IVM oocytes. The number of oocytes collected per ovary did significantly vary across seasons from 6.2 ± 0.92 during breeding season to 10.4 ± 1.26 during no breeding season (p = .006). Oocytes collected during the breeding season showed higher in vitro fertilization rate compared to the no breeding season (p = .045). However, no embryos reached the blastocyst stage. Semen samples obtained by electroejaculation were successfully cryopreserved, although the cryopreservation process negatively affected most kinetic parameters, mainly at 2 hr post-thawing. Moreover, the percentage of rapid spermatozoa significantly decreased between fresh samples and at 2 hr post-thawing, whereas the percentage of slow spermatozoa increased across the same period (p < .05). Our study provides the logistic steps for the application of assisted reproductive techniques in fallow deer and might be of great interest for genetic resource bank planning.     

海南坡鹿食性的研究

海南坡鹿是珍贵的热带鹿种,属国家一级保护动物。我们于1985—1988年间在海南省大田自然保护区对其食性进行了常年性的野外观察研究。发现海南坡鹿是广食性的草食动物,以各种草本为主要食物,对木本食物也是不可缺少的,但选择性较强,尤其喜食植物的幼嫩部份及某些花果,同其他鹿类一样,也有喜欢舔食盐碱土(或人工盐土)的习性。本文就海南的坡鹿觅食行为、择食特性及大田自然保护区主要植物的适口性等进行了研究与评价。     

林麝同期发情技术的研究

将30头林麝随机分为4个试验组进行同期发情处理。在4个试验群中,根据处理药物不同又分为孕酮片(MAP)处理和氯前列烯醇(PG)处理组。MAP处理组采用MAP高(20mg/头)和低(10mg/头)2个剂量处理;连续用MAP8d后,一次肌肉注射孕马血清促性腺激素(PMSG)600IU/头。PG处理组采用PG高(0.2mg/头)和低(0.1mg/头)2个剂量处理;首先一次肌肉注射PMSG600IU/头,48h后,肌注PG0.1mg/头(或0.2mg/头),6d后,再次肌注PG0.1mg/头(或0.2mg/头)。结果表明,MAP高(20mg/头)与低(10mg/头)2个剂量处理的同期发情率分别为62.5%(5/8)和75%(6/8),差异不显著(P>0.05);而PG组高(0.2mg/头)和低(0.1mg/头)2个剂量的同期发情率分别为28.5%(2/7)和71.4%(5/7),差异显著(P<0.05);MAP组与PG组间同期发情率尽管差异不显著(P>0.05),但MAP处理组同期发情率(68.7%,11/16)明显高于PG组(50%,7/14)。     

Pyogenic meningitis and trigeminal neuritis secondary to periodontogenic paranasal sinusitis in a red deer (Cervus elaphus)

An adult female red deer died of a severe seizure and dysbasia. Postmortem computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed. On CT, deciduous right maxillary second and third premolar teeth were observed, and the right infraorbital canal was disrupted. MRI showed that the right trigeminal nerve was enlarged and the right subarachnoid cavity was occupied by fluid and gas. On gross examination, the right paranasal sinus, swollen muscles of the orbit and tonsils, right trigeminal nerve, and right cerebrum surface contained a yellowish-white, cheese-like pus. Based on these findings, the deer was believed to have developed pyogenic meningitis caused by a neuropathic infection secondary to periodontogenic paranasal sinusitis.

饲粮不同能量、蛋白质水平对生茸期梅花鹿的影响

梅花鹿三种保定药物对比实验

本文通过用静松灵、司可林、眠乃宁三种保定药物保定梅花鹿对比实验，得出：①静松灵一次性给药剂量较大，生产中操作不方便。②司可林一次给药剂量虽小，但有效剂量与致死剂量十分接近，剂量误差易导致鹿死亡。③静松灵和司可林均无有效拮抗药物，且后遗性影响较大。④眠乃宁注射剂量适中，剂量误差不会导致鹿死亡，无后遗性影响。拮抗药物苏醒灵拮抗效果优良，使眠乃宁的应用更安全。     

不同鹿胎及胎盘制剂对老年雄性大鼠免疫机能影响的研究

研究了鹿胎及胎盘制剂对老年雄性大鼠免疫器官指数、血清球蛋白含量和巨噬细胞吞噬率及吞噬指数的影响。结果表明,鹿胎及胎盘制剂对老年雄性大鼠胸腺和脾脏指数影响不显著(P>0.05);但提高了老年雄性大鼠血清球蛋白含量,其中鹿胎制剂Ⅰ号组最高,比对照组高出62.64%,与其他各组相比有显著差异(P<0.05);鹿胎制剂Ⅱ号组和人胎盘粉处理组大鼠巨噬细胞吞噬率和吞噬指数与对照组相比有极显著提高(P<0.01),说明鹿胎及胎盘制剂对老年雄性大鼠具有提高免疫机能的作用。     

梅花鹿铜缺乏综合征的复制

为了证明梅花鹿铜缺乏综合征的发生与饲料铜含量的关系，以含铜３．３３×１０－６的日粮饲喂１３１只幼龄圈养梅花鹿，于２８个月后开始发生铜缺乏综合征，继续饲喂到３９个月时，其显症率达９．１６％。人工复制的梅花鹿铜缺乏综合征的临床症状与自然发生者相一致，主要为患鹿后躯运动失调，渐进性瘫痪；意识清楚，无癫痫、抽搐症状发生；被毛颜色变淡，眼睛周围出现白眼圈。ＲＢＣ为（７．５６±０．８３）×１０１２／Ｌ，Ｈｂ（１６３．３０±１２．９０）ｇ／Ｌ，血清铜蓝蛋白氧化酶（２５．７３±６．４５）ＩＵ／Ｌ，均显著低于对照组。血清铜（５．６２±０．８０）μｍｏｌ／Ｌ，毛铜（４．５５±１．２８）ｍｇ／ｋｇ，均显著低于对照组；血清铁（２８．４８±２．４７）μｍｏｌ／Ｌ，显著高于对照组。主要病理变化为脑、脊髓神经脱髓鞘；部分神经元变性坏死；血管壁肥厚，内膜粗糙，管腔变窄，脆性增加；肝、脾、淋巴结含铁血黄素沉着及骨质疏松。日粮中铜含量为７．３３×１０－６时，梅花鹿发育良好，体质健壮，生产性能优越，无铜缺乏综合征发生。表明这一铜含量可作为梅花鹿铜元素饲养标准的参考值。
