兜兰花粉活力及柱头可授性探究

本研究以‘绿肉饼’兜兰为试验材料,用扫描电子显微镜对其花粉块进行研究分析。结果显示,花粉块可分为两半,表面光滑呈现紧密网状结构。为获得‘绿肉饼’人工授粉最佳时间,采用TTC (氯化三苯基四氮唑)染色和联苯胺-过氧化氢法进行花粉活力及柱头可授性的研究。TTC染色法结果表明,‘绿肉饼’的花粉活力呈现从弱到强再到弱的趋势,其中开花15~20 d的花粉活力最大,授粉率较高;联苯胺-过氧化氢法结果表明,‘绿肉饼’的柱头可授性随开花时间先弱后强再变弱,其中开花10~20 d的柱头可授性最高。     

Effect of melatonin on visceral fat deposition,lipid metabolism and hepatic lipo-metabolic gene expression in male rats

Melatonin (MT) influences lipid metabolism in animals; however, the mechanistic effect of melatonin on liver fat and abdominal adipose deposition requires further clarity. In order to study the effects of melatonin on lipid metabolism, and hepatic fat and abdominal adipose deposition in animals, twenty Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats of 6 weeks of age with similar bodyweight were randomly divided into two groups: control (CTL) and MT-treated (10 mg/kg/day). During a 60-day experiment, food intake and bodyweight were measured daily and weekly respectively. At the end of treatment, blood samples were collected to collect plasma to quantify hormones and metabolic indicators of lipid metabolism. In addition, organ and abdominal adipose depots including liver, and omental, perirenal, and epididymal fat were weighed. Liver tissue was sampled for sectioning, long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) quantification, and gene chip and Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analyses. The results showed that liver weight and index (ratio of liver weight to body weight) in MT group reduced by 20.69% and 9.63% respectively; omentum weight and index reduced by 59.88% and 54.93% respectively, and epididymal fat weight reduced by 45.34% (p = 0.049), relative to CTL. Plasma lipid indices, triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol (TC) with MT treatment decreased significantly compared with the control. Fat and 8 LCFA content in liver in MT group also decreased. Gene chip and qPCR demonstrated that there were 289 genes up-regulated and 293 genes down-regulated by MT. Further analysis found that the mRNA expression of lipolysis-related genes increased, while the mRNA expression of lipogenesis-related enzymes decreased (p < 0.05) with MT. This study concluded that melatonin greatly affected fat deposition, and hepatic LCFA supply and the expression of genes associated with lipogenesis and lipolysis.     

Dietary supplementation with Moringa oleifera and mulberry leaf affects pork quality from finishing pigs

Moringa oleifera and Morus alba leaves are nutritious non-traditional feed ingredients containing bioactive substances. This study was to evaluate the potential application of dietary Moringa and Morus leaf powder on the growth traits, carcass characteristics and meat quality of finishing pigs. Moringa did not alter growth performance or carcass characteristics, but it decreased meat b* value, increased MyHCIIa and decreased MyHCIIx mRNA levels, and increased CP and concentrations of Ala, Thr, Ile, Lys and Pro in longissimus thoracis. Morus increased final BW, ADFI and ADG, decreased F/G ratio, improved slaughter weight, carcass weight, carcass yield and meat a* value, and decreased shear force, drip loss, MyHCIIx and MyHCIIb mRNA levels, and increased MyHCI and MyHCIIa mRNA levels. Morus also increased CP, Glu, Gly, Ala, Arg, Ile, Phe, Pro, Ser, Tyr and Asp, and C16:1, C18:1n9c, C20:4n6, C18:3n3, C20:3n3, C22:1n9 and n-3 PUFA, but decreased C12:0 and C16:0. In summary, Morus improved the parameters and held great potential as an unconventional feed crop.     

比利时野猪非洲猪瘟防控

2018年9月,比利时公共健康研究院(国家非洲猪瘟参考实验室)确认在瓦隆地区发现野猪感染非洲猪瘟病毒,毒株与2007年欧洲首例非洲猪瘟病毒株非常相似。欧盟和比利时通过采取卓有成效的控制措施,截至目前未发生家猪感染病例。主要防控经验:一是出台法规,组建非洲猪瘟政策委员会,及时评估和措施调整;二是根据OIE的原则要求建立管控区,借助人工屏障和自然屏障,防止感染野猪跨区域移动;三是完善养殖企业生物安全管理制度,防止野猪和家猪的接触,并通过SANITEL系统对境内的所有家猪开展标识追溯,防止高风险地区家猪的非法移动;四是做好宣传,使兽医、养殖户、狩猎者了解非洲猪瘟相关认知,确保防控义务落实到人。     

甘肃省武威市骆驼蜱及梨形虫病病原分子生物学调查

为了解甘肃省武威市骆驼蜱以及梨形虫病病原种类和分布情况,保护和开发骆驼产业,通过分子生物学检测手段,对采集的骆驼蜱虫与骆驼抗凝血样进行流行病学调查和分子生物学鉴定。采集的蜱虫经鉴定为亚洲璃眼蜱,说明亚洲璃眼蜱是该地的优势种;在蜱样品中检测到双芽巴贝斯虫阳性样品1份,说明当地存在通过蜱传播梨形虫病的风险。本研究对于提高该地区骆驼养殖业对蜱与梨形虫病危害和防控的认识具有积极意义,也为当地蜱以及梨形虫病防治提供了依据。     

黑龙江省动物疫病预防控制机构发展现状分析

为了掌握基层动物疫病预防控制机构发展现状,通过调研了解,黑龙江省84个市县级动物疫病预防控制机构的基础设施建设、仪器设备配置、人员队伍结构等情况有较大提升,但仍存在业务用房面积不达标,设备陈旧老化,物资储备欠缺,人员老龄化,工作经费不足和信息化管理薄弱等问题,难以适应当前动物疫病防控总体需要。这提示应进一步强化基础设施建设,更新仪器设备,加强防疫物资储备,健全冷链管理体系,充实专业队伍,建立经费保障机制和推动信息化平台建设,以期进一步推进基层动物疫控机构发展。     

副结核病诊断和防控研究进展

副结核病是世界范围流行的以危害反刍动物为主的动物疫病,严重威胁畜牧业发展和人类公共卫生安全,我国将其列为二类动物疫病。由于该病病原感染机体的免疫反应复杂,需要根据不同感染时期施以不同的诊断方法;目前对于该病没有理想的疫苗可用,现有疫苗对预防感染无效;需要根据不同目标采取不同防控策略,国际通用策略为"大缸奶质量保证措施"(BMPAQ)和"密集副结核程序"(IPP)。未来需要研究更加方便、高效、快捷的诊断方法,加快新型疫苗研发、减少疫苗副作用及检测干扰,进一步强化多部门联动及防控宣传。

不同秸秆还田方式对北方超级稻氮素吸收利用的影响

以北方超级稻沈农265为试验材料,研究了秸秆直接还田和秸秆热解成生物炭施入对水稻氮素吸收利用的影响。结果表明:与常规生产相比,秸秆直接还田主要提高了水稻生育中期的叶、茎含氮量,但同时降低了后期穗氮素累积量,氮素回收率、生理利用率和氮肥农学利用率分别下降5.28%、11.65%和16.19%,使产量有降低趋势;少量秸秆生物炭施入有助于提高生育中后期叶、茎含氮量并促进穗氮素累积量增加,氮素回收率和氮肥农学利用率分别增加6.02%和7.71%,有增加产量的潜力;大量秸秆生物炭施入降低了叶、茎和穗含氮量,氮素回收率负向效应强度高达34.31%,但氮素生理利用率增加45.62%,不利于产量的提高。秸秆直接还田和大量秸秆生物炭施入对水稻氮素吸收有一定抑制作用且不利于产量的提升,少量秸秆生物炭施入则能提高水稻氮素利用率并增加产量。     

猪床垫料与"替抗"的诡辩

1概念解析随着我国畜牧业的飞速发展,畜禽粪便成了环境的最大污染源,对环境的污染愈发严重。为控制粪便污物的排放,创造良好的生态养殖条件,国家大力推广发酵床养殖技术,发酵床主要是由有机垫料组成,垫料原料通常包括秸秆、锯末、木屑等,将其平铺与猪舍内,猪养于其上,排泄物排至垫料上,经微生物发酵,可实现粪污的低排放、低污染[1-2]。
