Blood samples were obtained sequentially from 10 dairy cows around the time of
parturition to assess plasma fluctuations in estradiol-17β (E2) levels in
association with those of several bone resorption markers. Plasma E2
concentration increased sharply a few days prepartum and decreased quickly after
parturition. In terms of bone resorption markers, the plasma level of tartrate-resistant
acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRAP5b) rose significantly, commencing 1 week prepartum, and
was maintained at this level to a few days postpartum. The plasma concentration of
carboxyterminal collagen cross-links of type-I collagen (CTx) increased significantly
after parturition. These observations suggest that osteoclast-mediated bone resorption was
activated after parturition when plasma E2 concentrations decreased. 相似文献

Although color Doppler ultrasonography has been used to evaluate testicular blood flow in
many species, very little has been done in goat. Eight male Shiba goats were exposed to a
single intramuscular injection of either gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH group; 1
µg/kg BW) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG group; 25 IU/kg BW).
Plasma testosterone (T), estradiol (E2) and inhibin (INH) were measured just before (0 hr)
and at different intervals post injection by radioimmunoassay. Testis volume (TV) and
Doppler indices, such as resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) of the
supratesticular artery, were measured by B-mode and color Doppler ultrasonography,
respectively. The results indicated an increase in testicular blood flow in both groups,
as RI and PI decreased significantly (P<0.05), but this increase was
significant higher and earlier in hCG group (1 hr) than in the GnRH group (2 hr). A high
correlation was found for RI and PI with both T (RI, r= −0.862; PI, r= −0.707) and INH in
the GnRH group (RI, r=0.661; PI, r=0.701). However, a significant
(P<0.05) correlation was found between E2 and both RI (r= −0.610) and
PI (r= −0.763) in hCG group. In addition, TV significantly increased and was highly
correlated with RI in both groups (GnRH, r= −0.718; hCG, r= −0.779). In conclusion, hCG
and GnRH may improve testicular blood flow and TV in Shiba goats. 相似文献

The study objective was to determine the effect of oral orbifloxacin (ORB) on
antimicrobial susceptibility and composition of fecal coliforms in cats. Nine cats were
randomized to two groups administered a daily oral dose of 2.5 and 5.0 mg ORB/kg for 7
days and a control group (three cats per group). Coliforms were isolated from stool
samples and were tested for susceptibilities to ORB and 5 other drugs. ORB concentration
in feces was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The coliforms
were undetectable after 2 days of ORB administration, and their number increased in most
cats after termination of the administration. Furthermore, only isolates of
Escherichia coli were detected in all cats before administration, and
those of Citrobacter freundii were detected after termination of the
administration. E. coli isolates exhibited high ORB susceptibility
[Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), ≤0.125 µg/ml]
or relatively low susceptibility (MIC, 1−2 µg/ml) with a
single gyrA mutation. C. freundii isolates largely
exhibited intermediate ORB susceptibility (MIC, 4
µg/ml), in addition to resistance to ampicillin and
cefazolin, and harbored qnrB, but not a gyrA mutation.
HPLC revealed that the peaks of mean concentration were 61.3 and 141.0
µg/g in groups receiving 2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg, respectively. Our findings
suggest that oral ORB may alter the total counts and composition of fecal coliform, but is
unlikely to yield highly fluoroquinolone-resistant mutants of E. coli and
C. freundii in cats, possibly because of the high drug concentration in
feces. 相似文献

This study compared the reproductive and growth performances of pigs before and after depopulation and
restocking after a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in Japan. Data for the time period before and after
depopulation and restocking were obtained from three farrow-to-finish farms. As a result of depopulation and
restocking, hygiene levels were improved, and common infectious diseases, such as porcine reproductive and
respiratory syndrome and Aujeszky’s disease, remained undetected on the farms. Compared with before
depopulation, reproductive and growth performances improved after depopulation; the number of total pigs born
was higher, the postweaning mortality rate was lower, and the age at slaughter was lower
(P<0.05). In summary, depopulation and restocking improved the reproductive and growth
performances of pigs. 相似文献

Impressions and purchasing intentions of Japanese consumers regarding pork produced by ‘Ecofeed’, a trademark of food‐waste or co‐product animal feeds certified by the Japanese government, were investigated by a questionnaire on the Internet. ‘Ecofeed’ did not elicit specific impressions as compared to domestic, imported, Kurobuta (in Japan), and specific pathogen‐free (SPF) pork. Purchasing intent for ‘Ecofeed’ pork was the second lowest of the five pork products. Knowledge and purchasing experience regarding ‘Ecofeed’ pork was the lowest of the five pork products. Respondents were classified into four categories according to their impressions of ‘Ecofeed’ pork. The largest category of respondents did not have any specific impression of ‘Ecofeed’ pork and had little knowledge of pork farming. A category that had a positive impression for ‘Ecofeed’ pork had high knowledge of the pork farming system. In order to establish ‘Ecofeed’ pork in Japan, our results suggest that information disclosure and education about ‘Ecofeed’, its certification system, environmental benefits and the current self‐efficiency ratio of animal feed, are needed. 相似文献

The production and partial characterization of bacteriocin‐like substances (BLSs) produced by bacteria isolated from cow manure compost were investigated. Eight BLS producers, which exhibited inhibitory activity against pathogenic bacteria, were isolated from cow manure compost at different stages of the composting process. The pile temperature ranged from 9.1°C to 73.2°C. The BLSs showed thermostability, but the BLS producers were not thermostable except for the H1 producer. Thermophilic Bacillus licheniformis H1 was further characterized. The culture supernatant of B. licheniformis H1 exhibited antagonistic activity against various species of Gram‐positive bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes ATCC19111 but not against Gram‐negative bacteria except Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC11251. Inactivation of bacteriocin‐like activity by α‐chymotrypsin, trypsin, and papain was highly significant (P < 0.001). The BLS was found to be stable under a pH range from 3 to 9 and at temperatures up to 75°C for 60 min, but it lost activity after being autoclaved at 121°C for 15 min. The optimum production of BLS by B. licheniformis H1 was obtained at a temperature of 55°C. Sodium dodecyl sulfate – polyacrylamide electrophoresis analysis of concentrated partially purified supernatants collected after resting the bacterial cells at 55°C revealed a bacteriocin‐like protein with a molecular mass of approximately 3.5 kDa. This study is the first report of a BLS from thermophilic B. licheniformis with an animal compost origin. 相似文献

To assess the role of muscle fiber type in beef taste‐traits, we analyzed cooked meats from bovine masseter, diaphragm, psoas major, longissimus thoracis, and semitendinosus muscles with an electric taste sensing system (INSENT SA402B). The system is composed of five taste sensors of polymer membranes fixing different lipids. The sensors, CT0, CA0, AAE, C00 and AE1 are designed to respond to the individual tastes of salty, sour, umami, bitter and astringent, respectively. The system found significant differences in the converted outputs of CA0 (cvCA0), C00 (cvC00) and AE1 (cvAE1) among the bovine muscles. The slow‐type muscles (masseter and diaphragm) showed lower cvCA0, higher cvC00, and higher cvAE1 than did the fast‐type muscles (psoas major, longissimus thoracis, and semitendinosus). Lactic acid content was different among muscle types and was highly related to the cvCA0 output and pH. carbonyl compounds and free fatty acids were higher in the slow‐type muscles. Free fatty acids were major components causing the difference in the C00 output among the muscle types. Iron content was also different among the muscle types and related to the cvC00 and cvAE1 outputs. These results suggested that the muscle fiber type affects the beef taste characteristics. 相似文献

Our previous study detected a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), g.1471620G > T , in the 5' flanking region of the endothelial differentiation sphingolipid G-protein-coupled receptor 1 ( EDG1 ) gene, which has been considered as a positional functional candidate for the gene responsible for marbling, and showed association of the g.1471620G > T SNP with marbling in Japanese Black beef cattle. In the present study, we investigated the allele frequency distribution of the g.1471620G > T SNP among the 5 cattle breeds, Japanese Black, Japanese Brown, Japanese Short Horn, Holstein, and Brown Swiss breeds. The T allele at the g.1471620G > T SNP associated with high marbling was found at high frequency in Japanese Black breed that has been subjected to a strong selection for high marbling, while the allele was absent or at very low frequencies in the other breeds that have not been strongly selected for high marbling. Based on this finding, we hypothesized that the pressure of the strong selection for high marbling in Japanese Black breed has increased the frequency of the T allele at the g.1471620G > T SNP in the EDG1 . 相似文献

A 42-day-old heavy draft horse fell into sudden astasia. Significant swelling and heat
sensation of the left femoral region were observed. Because of a friction sound in the
left hip, we supposed that the hip joint was dislocated or the hip bone was fractured.
Computed Tomography (CT) examination showed that the left hip joint was dislocated and the
left femoral head was disjunct. We carried out a pathological autopsy, and made a
diagnosis of the foal as fracture of the hip bone and femoral head with suppurative
umbilical arteritis. Pathologic changes in the umbilical artery and hind leg were
completely unilateral, suggesting that left umbilical arteritis spread to the blood
circulation, causing arthritis and dislocation of the hip bone. 相似文献
