笼养与平养蛋鸭蛋品质测定与相关性分析

试验旨在比较笼养和平养方式对不同品种蛋鸭蛋品质的影响,以期为评价不同饲养方式下的鸭蛋品质提供参考依据。随机选取40周龄笼养和平养的金定鸭（青壳蛋）和山麻鸭（白壳蛋）鸭蛋各30枚于产后24 h内进行蛋品质测定。结果表明,同一品种笼养蛋鸭蛋重极显著大于平养蛋鸭蛋重（P<0.01）,蛋重与蛋壳重、蛋白重和蛋黄重之间均存在极显著正相关（P<0.01）,但不同类型鸭蛋的蛋黄重之间差异不显著（P>0.05）。青壳蛋的蛋壳强度显著高于白壳蛋（P<0.05）,笼养青壳蛋的蛋壳强度亦高于平养青壳蛋（P<0.05）。蛋的比重与蛋壳厚度呈极显著正相关（0.503,P<0.01）,与蛋壳强度的相关系数亦达到0.536（P<0.01）。4种类型鸭蛋的哈氏单位均达到72以上。虽然蛋白重与蛋黄重之间呈极显著正相关（P<0.01）,但蛋白重与蛋黄比率之间却呈极显著的负相关（P<0.01）。蛋的比重与蛋黄重和蛋黄比率之间亦存在显著负相关（P<0.05）。以上结果表明,就蛋品质而言,蛋鸭养殖以采用笼养模式、选择青壳蛋鸭品种为宜。     

植物精油对山麻鸭免疫功能、抗氧化能力和肠道微生物的影响

【目的】研究植物精油（13.5%百里酚和4.5%肉桂醛）对笼养山麻鸭机体免疫、抗氧化力和肠道微生物的影响。【方法】选取200只健康的40周龄山麻鸭（产蛋性能及体重相近）,随机分为4组,每组5个重复,每个重复10只山麻鸭。4个处理组分别在基础饲粮的基础上添加0（对照组）、50、150和200 mg/kg植物精油,试验期30 d。于试验第28~30天,每组随机选取10枚鸭蛋（接近平均蛋重）,用于分析鸭蛋品质;于试验结束时,每个重复选取1只鸭,采集血清,检测血清免疫球蛋白（Ig）、补体蛋白及抗氧化指标,剖杀后采集山麻鸭盲肠内容物用于检测肠道菌群结构。【结果】与对照组相比,植物精油组蛋重、蛋壳重、蛋白重、蛋黄重和横径均显著提高（P＜0.05）,血清丙二醛含量均显著降低（P＜0.05）,但各组之间蛋成分所占比例差异不显著（P＞0.05）;150和200 mg/kg植物精油组山麻鸭血清免疫球蛋白A、免疫球蛋白G、免疫球蛋白M含量和谷胱甘肽过氧化酶含量均显著提高（P＜0.05）,山麻鸭盲肠拟杆菌门、Parabacteroides菌属和Prevotellaceae NK3B31 group菌属丰度提高,Ralstonia菌属丰度降低。【结论】饲粮中添加植物精油可提高鸭蛋重量,改善山麻鸭免疫机能,提高笼养山麻鸭血清抗氧化性能,并能一定程度上改善山麻鸭盲肠菌群结构。综合考虑,添加150 mg/kg植物精油效果较好。     

Influence of enrofloxacin and chloramphenicol on the level of IgY in serum and egg yolk after immunostimulation of hens with Salmonella enteritidis antigens

In the chicken, maternal antibodies are transferred into the egg and subsequently transported into the developing embryo. IgG (called IgY) is the primary immunoglobulin isotype of the egg yolk. Their level in serum depends on the correct function of immunological system in laying hens. Many factors have a direct or indirect influence on antibody level in fowl. One of them is a commonly used antibiotic, but its influence on avian immune system is still unknown. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of enrofloxacin and chloramphenicol on the level of IgY antibody in serum and egg yolk after immunostimulation of hens with living cells of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis and lipopolisaccharide. Forty adult egg-laying Arbor Acres and Isa 215 hens (32 and 50 weeks old) from the reproductive flocks and 1640 of their eggs were used for the investigation. No clinical symptoms of any diseases were observed in birds during the entire breeding period. Additionally the birds were checked as free from Salmonella spp. in the beginning of the experiment. The birds were divided into 6 experimental and 2 control groups (5 birds in one group). The hens in the experimental groups were immunized with S. Enteritidis antigens: living bacteria and lipopolisaccharide and treated with enrofloxacin or chloramphenicol. Antibiotics were administered in drinking water for 10 days (from 3rd to 13th day of experiment). To indicate anti-S. Enteritidis, antibodies in sera and egg yolk were used indirectly on ELISA based on lipopolisaccharide from S. Enteritidis. As conjugate these were applied anti-chicken IgY with horseradish peroxidase and ABTS with H2O2 as obtained. Additionally, to detect antibody in serum, a rapid slide test was used with Pullognost and Enterognost standard antigens made in the laboratory. The study revealed that both antibiotics tested decreased the level of specific IgY in laying hens immunized with living bacteria and lipopolisaccharide. It seems that antibiotics have a suppressive effect on the immunological system. The strongest immunosuppressive effect was exerted by chloramphenicol.     

Determination and Correlation Analysis on the Egg Quality of Egg-laying Ducks Reared in Cages and on Floor

The purpose of this test was to evaluate the egg quality from two breeds of ducks reared in cages and on floor.30 eggs were chosen from each type of eggs,which were from Jinding (green shell) and Shan Partridge ducks (white shell)at 40 weeks-old reared in cages and on floor for egg quality evaluation.The results showed that the egg weight of caged duck was extremely significantly larger than the floor duck (P<0.01) in the same breed,there were very significant positive correlations between the egg weight and eggshell weight,egg-white weight and egg yolk weight (P<0.01),but no significant difference among the egg yolk weights of different types of ducks (P>0.05).The shell strength of green egg was obviously higher than that of white shell eggs (P<0.05),and the shell strength of green egg from caged ducks was higher than that of the green egg ducks on floor.The correlation coefficients of the egg specific gravity and eggshell thickness,the specific gravity and eggshell strength were 0.503 (P<0.01) and 0.536 (P<0.01) respectively.Haugh units of four types of ducks all reached 72 or more.Although there was significant positive correlation between egg-white weight and egg yolk weight (P<0.01),significant negative correlation was existed between egg-white weight and egg yolk ratio (P<0.01).There were significant negative correlations between egg specific gravity and egg yolk weight (P<0.05) and egg yolk ratio (P<0.05).In conclusion,the mode of cage feeding and the breed with green shell were appropriate choices in laying-egg duck production for high egg quality.     

不同限饲水平对产蛋期肉种鸭生产性能的影响

本研究旨在探讨不同限饲水平对产蛋期肉种鸭生产性能和孵化指标的影响。试验选取 ４０周龄父母代 ＳＭ３樱桃谷种鸭 ３２００只（母鸭 ２６００只,公鸭 ６００只）,随机分成 ４组,每组 ５个重复,每个重复 １６０只鸭（母鸭 １３０只,公鸭 ３０只）。以玉米 －豆粕 －小麦型配合饲料（代谢能 １１．５０ＭＪ／ｋｇ,粗蛋白质 １８．００％）为基础饲粮。Ｔ１组日饲喂料量最大,为每只鸭 ２２５ｇ,其他组依次降低 １５ｇ,分别为 ２１０（Ｔ２组）、１９５（Ｔ３组）和 １８０ｇ（Ｔ４组）,试验期 ３５ｄ。结果表明：１）当日饲喂料量由２２５ｇ下降到２１０ｇ时,公、母鸭的体增重均显著下降（Ｐ＜０．０５）,产蛋率略有上升,蛋重略有下降,但二者变化均不显著（Ｐ＞０．０５）,当日饲喂料量继续下降到 １９５和 １８０ｇ时,与日饲喂料量 ２２５ｇ时相比,公、母鸭体增重、产蛋率和蛋重均显著下降（Ｐ＜０．０５）;２）经回归分析,公、母鸭体增重、产蛋率、蛋重与日饲喂料量有显著的直线或二次曲线关系（Ｐ＜０．０５）,产蛋率与蛋重之间也有显著的二次曲线关系（Ｐ＜０．０５）;３）日饲喂料量对种鸭死淘率及种蛋合格率、受精率、健雏率、入孵蛋孵化率和受精蛋孵化率均无显著影响（Ｐ＞０．０５）。结果提示,适当限制饲喂料量可降低体增重,提高产蛋率,但过度限饲会影响生产性能。     

Egg yolk IgY: protection against rotavirus induced diarrhea and modulatory effect on the systemic and mucosal antibody responses in newborn calves

Bovine rotavirus (BRV) is an important cause of diarrhea in newborn calves. Local passive immunity is the most efficient protective strategy to control the disease. IgY technology (the use of chicken egg yolk immunoglobulins) is an economic and practical alternative to prevent BRV diarrhea in dairy calves. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protection and immunomodulation induced by the oral administration of egg yolk enriched in BRV specific IgY to experimentally BRV infected calves. All calves in groups Gp 1, 2 and 3 received control colostrum (CC; BRV virus neutralization Ab titer - VN=65,536; ELISA BRV IgG(1)=16,384) prior to gut closure. After gut closure, calves received milk supplemented with 6% BRV-immune egg yolk [(Gp 1) VN=2048; ELISA IgY Ab titer=4096] or non-immune control egg yolk [(Gp 2) VN<4; ELISA IgY Ab titer<4] twice a day, for 14 days. Calves receiving CC only or colostrum deprived calves (CD) fed antibody (Ab) free milk served as controls (Gp 3 and 4, respectively). Calves were inoculated with 10(5.85)focus forming units (FFU) of virulent BRV IND at 2 days of age. Control calves (Gp 3 and 4) and calves fed control IgY (Gp 2) were infected and developed severe diarrhea. Around 80% calves in Gp 1 (IgY 4096) were infected, but they showed 80% (4/5) protection against BRV diarrhea. Bovine RV-specific IgY Ab were detected in the feces of calves in Gp 1, indicating that avian antibodies (Abs) remained intact after passage through the gastrointestinal tract. At post infection day 21, the duodenum was the major site of BRV specific antibody secreting cells (ASC) in all experimental groups. Mucosal ASC responses of all isotypes were significantly higher in the IgY treated groups, independently of the specificity of the treatment, indicating that egg yolk components modulated the immune response against BRV infection at the mucosal level. These results indicate that supplementing newborn calves' diets for the first 14 days of life with egg yolk enriched in BRV-specific IgY represents a promising strategy to prevent BRV diarrhea. Moreover a strong active ASC immune response is induced in the intestinal mucosa following BRV infection after the administration of egg yolk, regardless the specificity of the treatment.     

蛋重对蛋鸭孵化效果的影响

将三个品种(攸县麻鸭、麻旺鸭和三穗鸭)种鸭蛋按蛋重各分5个组在相同的条件下孵化,研究蛋重对不同品种孵化效果的影响。结果表明,种蛋受精率和入孵蛋孵化率:攸县麻鸭蛋重在65~73 g最高,麻旺鸭蛋重在66~70 g最高,三穗鸭蛋重在66~74 g最高,种蛋过重或过轻均不利于种蛋孵化。胚胎死亡率:攸县麻鸭在蛋重61~65 g最低,三穗鸭在蛋重小于62 g时最低,麻旺鸭在蛋重小于58 g时最低,攸县麻鸭种蛋重量适中有利于胚胎成活,三穗鸭和麻旺鸭种蛋重量较轻时有利于胚胎成活。

Die ontogenetische Entwicklung des Dottersackstiels der Hausvögel und seine Rolle bei der Absorption des Dotters

The ontogenetic development of the stalk of the yolk sac in domestic birds, and its role in the absorption of the yolk Development and structural changes of the stalk of the yolk sac were studied experimentally using light and electronmicroscopy. The development begins on day 5 of incubation and ends on day 7–8. The muscular layer of the stalk is translucent in two or three places. The intestinal end of the stalk in the chicken and turkey forms a papilla which is provided with a sphincter and projects into the lumen of the intestine. Goose and duck have neither papilla nor sphincter. The diverticulum ductus vitellini is characteristically invaded by lymphocytes and in the goose and duck this lymphoid tissue reaches the organisation of fossulae. The stalk remains patent until postnatal day 3–7. Beginning on day 5 of incubation some yolk flows through the stalk into the intestine; from day 15 of incubation onward a little more, and during the closure of the umbilious on day 17, a large amount of yolk flows into the intestine, but this flow is reduced after hatching. The yolk is regurgitated into the glandular stomach and absorbed on its way there. Experimental evidence indicates that, from the day 11 of incubation onward, swallowed egg white reaches the yolk sac through the stalk.

Immunological aspects of Marek's disease in chickens with maternal antibodies]

The dynamics of the production of immunoprecipitation antibodies to Marek's disease virus was studied in the serum of chickens with maternal antibodies in relation to the occurrence of the immunoprecipitation antigens of Marek's disease virus in feather follicles. One-day-old chickens were infected by the contact method with Marek's disease virus. The first occurrence of immunoprecipitation antigen was detected on the 14th day after infection and this occurrence persisted throughout the experiment, i. e. until the 112th day after infection. The antibodies were first detected the 28th day after infection and their titre kept rising until the 98th day after infection. Immunoprecipitation antibodies and antigens of Marek's disease virus were detected in some tumorously changed kidneys. Immunoelectrophoretic examination revealed in the same kidneys immunoglobulins of the class IgY, IgA and beta-globulin. The slowest-migrating fraction of IgY, together with IgA, beta-globulin and C-reactive protein were detected in the skin extracts from infected poultry. Indirect haemagglutination enabled the detection of the presence of haemagglutination antibodies in rabbit immunoglobulin to the skin antigen of Marek's disease virus, and in avian immunoglobulin to the same virus. Haemagglutination antigen was revealed in the extract from tumorously changed kidneys.     

Effects of Egg Yolk Source on the Cryopreservation of Stallion Spermatozoa

Three experiments were conducted to determine whether replacement of chicken egg yolk, as a component of freezing extenders, with egg yolk from other avian species would improve the post-thaw motility and percentage of intact acrosomes of stallion spermatozoa. In the first experiment, substitution of chicken egg yolk with chukar egg yolk, as a component of the lactose-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid extender, improved (P ≤ .05) the post-thaw motility of stallion spermatozoa. These results were not replicated in (IMV Technologies, Maple Grove, MN, USA) a more expansive study comparing 2%, 4%, 6%, or 8% egg yolk combined with INRA 96 when a “slow freeze” method was used, or the same substitution at levels ranging from 13% to 22% when egg yolk was combined with lactose-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid for diluents used for a “fast freeze” method of cryopreservation. In the third study, egg yolks from regular and high omega-3 chicken eggs as well as from turkey, chukar, and mallard duck eggs were analyzed for lipid content and fatty acid profile. The yolk from the turkey eggs was higher (1,300 mg/100 g) and that from mallard ducks was lower (560 mg/100 g) in cholesterol as compared with the two types of chicken eggs and chukar egg yolk (range, 1,046-1,094 mg/100 g). In addition, the high omega-3 eggs did test higher for fatty acids (4.51 g/100 g) than other types of eggs (range, 0.28-0.73 g/100 g). Substitution of chicken egg yolk with turkey, but not duck, egg yolk resulted in higher post-thaw total motility (P ≤ .05) for spermatozoa obtained from two of the three stallions used in the third experiment.     

凝结芽孢杆菌对蛋鸭产蛋性能、蛋品质及血清生化指标的影响

 试验旨在研究饲粮中添加不同水平凝结芽孢杆菌对蛋鸭产蛋性能、蛋品质及血清生化指标的影响。选取200日龄,产蛋率约80%的临武鸭240羽,随机分成4组,每组6个重复,每个重复10羽鸭,对照组饲喂基础饲粮,试验组在基础饲粮中分别添加100 mg/kg、150 mg/kg和200 mg/kg凝结芽孢杆菌,预试期7 d,正试期28 d。结果表明：（1）饲粮添加凝结芽孢杆菌可提高蛋鸭产蛋率、平均日产蛋量、平均蛋重和饲料转化率,但未达显著水平（P>0.05）;添加100 mg/kg和150 mg/kg凝结芽孢杆菌可显著降低产蛋鸭采食量（P<0.05）,添加200 mg/kg与各组间均无显著差异（P>0.05）;(2）饲粮添加凝结芽孢杆菌可显著降低鸭蛋蛋壳厚度（P<0.05）,当添加150 mg/kg和200 mg/kg时,差异达极显著水平（P<0.01）,凝结芽孢杆菌还可显著提高鸭蛋蛋黄颜色,蛋白高度和哈氏单位（P<0.05）;（3）芽孢杆菌对产蛋鸭血清中血糖、总蛋白、总胆固醇、甘油三脂等血清生化指标均无显著影响（P>0.05）。由此可知,饲粮中添加凝结芽孢杆菌能在一定程度上提高蛋鸭饲料转化率和产蛋性能,虽会引起蛋壳厚度降低,但不影响合格蛋率,还可提高蛋黄颜色和哈氏单位,对蛋品质有一定改善。综合考虑,蛋鸭饲粮中凝结芽孢杆菌的添加量以150 mg/kg较为适宜。     

饲粮中硒添加水平对产蛋高峰期临武鸭产蛋性能、蛋品质、血清抗氧化指标和蛋硒含量动态变化的影响

本试验旨在研究饲粮中硒添加水平对产蛋高峰期临武鸭产蛋性能、蛋品质、血清抗氧化指标和蛋硒含量动态变化的影响。试验选用29周龄体况良好、产蛋率接近的正处于产蛋高峰期的临武鸭200只,随机分为5组,每组5个重复,每个重复8只。对照组饲喂基础饲粮(不额外补充硒源,实测硒含量为0.15 mg/kg)45 d,Ⅰ组、Ⅱ组、Ⅲ组、Ⅳ组分别在基础饲粮中以酵母硒形式添加0.10、0.20、0.40、0.80 mg/kg的硒,饲喂35 d添加硒饲粮后改喂基础饲粮10 d。结果显示:1)饲粮中硒添加水平对蛋鸭产蛋性能和蛋品质各指标均无显著影响(P0.05)。2)与对照组和Ⅰ组相比,饲粮中添加0.40和0.80 mg/kg的硒可以显著提高蛋鸭血清中硒和谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量以及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性(P0.05),显著降低血清中丙二醛(MDA)含量(P0.05)。3)随试验天数的增加,对照组和Ⅰ组蛋硒含量无显著变化(P0.05),而Ⅱ组、Ⅲ组、Ⅳ组蛋硒含量均呈现先升高后降低的趋势,且均在试验第9天达到峰值。试验第7、9、13、17、21、28和35天,Ⅱ组、Ⅲ组、Ⅳ组蛋硒含量显著高于对照组和Ⅰ组(P0.05);停喂添加硒饲粮的第1~4天,Ⅱ组、Ⅲ组、Ⅳ组蛋硒含量仍显著高于对照组(P0.05);停喂添加硒饲粮的第5~8天,Ⅲ组和Ⅳ组蛋硒含量显著高于对照组(P0.05);停喂添加硒饲粮的第9天,各试验组蛋硒含量均衰减至与对照组相同水平(P0.05)。由此可见,饲粮中添加不同水平的酵母硒形式的硒对产蛋高峰期临武鸭的产蛋性能和蛋品质均无不良影响。饲粮中添加0.40和0.80 mg/kg酵母硒形式的硒可以提高产蛋高峰期临武鸭的蛋硒含量、血清硒含量和抗氧化能力,延长蛋硒的存留时效。综合考虑各因素,产蛋高峰期临武鸭饲粮中硒(以酵母硒形式添加)的适宜添加水平为0.40 mg/kg。

采用鸡胚接种法从安徽凤阳某患病肉鸭群中分离到一株病毒。该素株对鸡红细胞具有凝集性，并可被康复鸭鸭血清和NDV阳性抗血清所抑制，而不能被禽流感标准阳性血清抑制，结合血清中和鸡胚接种试验，病毒回归试验和免疫防治效果的研究结果，确认为鸭副粘病毒。参照国际上规定的新城疫病毒毒力判定的标准及其方法，测定该分离株的鸡胚最小致死量平均死亡时间（MDT），1日龄鸡及脑内接种致病指数（ICPI）和6周龄鸡静脉内接种致病指数（IVPI）分别为48.9h,1.80和2．45。表明该鸭副粘病天线离株具有新城疫病毒（NDV）速发型相类似的毒力，属强毒力毒株，并定名为WF00D株。     

A Comparison of Three Methods for Extracting IgY from the Egg Yolk of Hens Immunized with Sendai Virus

Hens were immunized with partially purified Sendai virus that had been grown on chicken embryos. The titres of specific antibodies to Sendai virus varied from log₂ 13.0 to 15.5 during the 4 months after immunization and the immunoglobulin Y (IgY) concentration varied from 2 to 10 mg per ml of egg yolk. A method has been developed employing dextran blue to isolate IgY from the egg yolk. The dextran blue method was compared with two other methods (poly(ethylene glycol) and chloroform) in terms of yield, total protein content, IgY concentration, specific activity of IgY and SDS-PAGE analysis. The specific activity and the IgY content obtained by these three methods proved to be identical, in the range log₂ 12.9–14.1, and 4.6–12.8 mg/egg, respectively. However, the total protein content when purified by chloroform was 2-fold to 4-fold higher than that of the others. The analysis of IgY by SDS-PAGE demonstrated that IgY purified with dextran blue contained three major protein components with molecular weights of 34.7 kDa, 41 kDa and 66 kDa and one minor protein of 45 kDa. IgY that was extracted with chloroform contained two major proteins of 45.7 kDa and 75.2 kDa and that extracted with PEG-6000 contained only one major protein of 66 kDa. The IgY obtained by these latter methods also contained several minor proteins in the range 41–80 kDa.     

The lack of binding ability of staphylococcal protein A and streptococcal protein G to egg yolk immunoglobulins of different fowl species (short communication)

The binding ability of staphylococcal protein A (SpA) and streptococcal protein G (SpG) to egg yolk antibodies of four fowl species (turkey, duck, moskovy duck and goose) was studied and compared with the binding ability to three serum antibodies from chicken, horse and cattle. SpA and SpG were not able to bind to any of the avian immunoglobulins.
