Genetic Engineering Approaches to Pig Production*

Modern biotechnology promises a number of new applications in animal breeding and production. Although conventional pig breeding has achieved a high level of efficiency and productivity numerous problems have been encountered with animal health and the loss of meat quality. Selection based on phenotypic performance data of individual animals does not take into account the importance of specific genes and their relevance within a complex regulatory system. In most cases it is therefore difficult to trace back the genetic origins of clinically important disorders. The application of genetic engineering techniques in pig production will facilitate diagnosis, improvement of productivity, and animal health by allowing direct genetic manipulation. Attention must be focussed on the physical and genetic analysis of the procine genome. The isolation and characterisation of genes, DNA-markers, polymorphic DNA-fragments, and their chromosomal assignment will be important prerequisites and tools for the elucidation of genetic disorders. Especially the detection of heterozygous carriers of recessive disorders and their elimination from the breeding stock will increase selection accuracy and decrease the generation intervals. But also the rapid and simple detection of infectious diseases, which is sometimes difficult if not impossible at present, will improve animal health and welfare. Although the production of transgenic animals either by DNA-microinjection into zygotes or the use of embryonal stem cells manipulated in vitro is less straightforward than DNA-based diagnosis it will play an important role in the direct manipulation of the porcine genome and genes. Breeding programmes including the use of transgenic livestock have already been developed. There is no doubt that genetic engineering has reached a degree of practical feasibility, allowing it to play an important role in pig breeding in particular and animal production in general.

Effect of Nitrogen Rate and Stubble Height on Dry Matter Yield,Crude Protein Content and Crude Protein Yield of a Sorghum–Sudangrass Hybrid[Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench × Sorghum sudanense (Piper) Stapf.] in the Three‐Cutting System

In this study, the effects of nitrogen (N) rate (60, 120, 180 and 240 kg N ha^?1 applied in three equal dressings at seeding and after the first and second cuttings) and stubble height (7, 14 and 21 cm) on the dry matter (DM) yield, crude protein (CP) content, and CP yield of a sorghum–sudangrass hybrid [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench × Sorghum sudanense (Piper) Stapf., cv. Pioneer 988] in the three‐cut system was investigated. The N rate had no significant effect in the first and third cuttings, but in the second cutting DM yields increased significantly with increase in N rate. The highest yield of 9.1 t ha^?1 was obtained with 80 kg N ha^?1 for the average of 2 years at the second cutting, but no significant difference was found among the 40, 60 and 80 kg N ha^?1 rates. CP content and yield were not significantly affected by N rate at the first and third cuttings, but CP content and yield were significantly affected by application of N at the second cutting. Stubble height had a significant effect on CP content at the third cutting. However, it had no significant effect on CP content at the first and second cuttings. Stubble height had a significant effect on the CP yield at the first cutting, but no significant effect on CP yield at the second and third cuttings.

生长抑素(SS)与硫氧还原蛋白(Thioredoxin)相融合生成的2种基因工程化融合蛋白SS-N/X和SS-N/S的表达特性

对基因工程化生长抑素（somatostatin,SS)-硫氧还原蛋白（Thioredoxin)融合蛋白SS－N／X和SS－N／S的表达产量、水溶性、Triton X-100对SS融合蛋白水溶性的影响、包涵体的溶解和复性特点以及SS的抗原性与免疫原性等特性进行了研究。结果显示，在30℃的低温下用IPTG诱导表达，SS－N／X融合蛋白主要以可溶性形式存在，占75．8％，色涵体仅占24．2％；而SS－N／S融合蛋白则主要以包涵体的形式存在，占81．1％，可溶性蛋白仅占18．9％；32C载体（pEG-32C)蛋白则居二者之间，可溶性蛋白与包涵体大约等比例出现。SS－N／S在低温下诱导可超量表达SS融合蛋白，其表达量约占菌体总蛋白的40．94％。0．5％ Triton X-100对融合蛋白的不溶性有非常显著的影响，几乎可使所有的SS－N／X融合蛋白和大部分SS－N／S融合蛋白及32C硫氧还原蛋白变成水溶性的。32C硫氧还原蛋白包涵体在尿素中的溶解度明显高于SS－N／S包涵体，2mol/L尿素可使近一半的32C硫氧还原蛋白包涵体溶解，而SS－N／S包涵体只有27．5％溶解；但在5mol/L尿素时，两者均可基本全部变为可溶性的。在SS融合蛋白包涵体溶解时加入还原剂二硫苏糖醇，可明显降低SS的抗原性。SS融合蛋白（水溶性融合蛋白和复性后的包涵体）具有良好的SS抗原性和免疫原性。由SS融合蛋白与弗氏不完全佐剂制成试验用疫苗，免疫BALB／c小鼠、仔猪和羔羊等动物，可显著提高免疫动物的增重。
