Aortic atherosclerosis in nonlaying hens with fatty liver syndrome

Ten laying hens with low plasma cholesterol levels and no signs of fatty liver syndrome were examined at necropsy. Liver coloration and deposition of body fat were not abnormal in such hens. Eleven nonlaying hens had signs of fatty liver syndrome. They were out of production for 1 to 3 months and had elevate plasma cholesterol levels. At necropsy, such hens had yellow livers, heavy deposits of body fat, and several involuted egg yolks, which were dark yellow. Intimal plaques were observed by light microscopy in the abdominal aortas of hens with low plasma cholesterol levels; the plaques contained little or no lipid and were composed of three or four rows of modified smooth-muscle cells. Aortic intimal plaques of hens with high plasma cholesterol levels were composed of 16 to 18 rows of modified smooth-muscle cells when examined by light microscopy. The plaques contained intracellular and extracellular lipid, indicating aortic atherosclerosis. Electron-microscopic observations of the abdominal aortas of both groups of hens were similar to light-microscopic observations, except that lipid, including cholesterol clefts, was seen both intracellularly and extracellularly in the thickened tunica intima of hens with high plasma cholesterol values. Thus, the presence of aortic atherosclerosis was confirmed by electron microscopy. It is suggested that the endogenous hypercholesterolemia and cessation of egg production, characteristic of severe fatty liver syndrome, originated from the reabsorption of involuted egg yolks and that such reabsorption caused the development of aortic atherosclerosis and deposition of excess body fat.     

Short-term reduction in egg production in laying hens treated with an agonist of GnRH.

1. In two experiments laying hens were treated with an agonist of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) to induce a reduction in the secretion of luteinising hormone (LH) and a pause in egg production. 2. In experiment 1, 70-week-old laying hens were either given daily subcutaneous injections of saline for 7 d, offered whole oats for 7 d (nutrient restriction), given daily injections of the GnRH agonist [D-Trp6-Pro9 N-ethyl amide]GnRH for 7 d at 50 micrograms/kg or 100 micrograms/kg or administered 4 biocompatible implants each containing 120 micrograms of the GnRH agonist. 3. Weekly egg production was monitored for 7 weeks and blood samples were taken at weekly intervals and assayed for plasma LH and oestradiol. Egg production was reduced in the birds treated with the agonist (28 to 46% reduction) but not to the same extent as in the birds offered whole oats (92.3% reduction). 4. The treatments also reduced plasma LH and oestradiol in treated hens but again to a greater extent in the birds offered whole oats than the birds treated with the agonist. Egg production and plasma LH and oestradiol increased following the termination of the treatments. 5. The birds fed whole oats suffered a reduction in weight of 16.7% over the treatment period whereas there were increases in the weights of the birds treated with saline, 50 micrograms of GnRH agonist and the implants of GnRH agonist, but no change in birds treated with 100 micrograms of GnRH agonist. 6. The birds fed oats lost feathers over the treatment period but the birds in the other treatment groups suffered no loss. 7. In experiment 2 laying hens were either injected daily with saline or 200 micrograms GnRH agonist and weekly egg production and plasma LH and oestradiol were measured. As egg production was reduced by almost 60% in the birds treated with the agonist but did not completely cease. Reductions in plasma LH and oestradiol were also observed. All variables increased to pretreatment levels once treatment ceased. 8. These data confirm the effects of severely depriving hens of nutrients on egg production and the secretion of LH and oestradiol.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

旨在利用从藏灵菇中筛选的可显著降低血清胆固醇和耐受胃肠道逆环境的副干酪乳杆菌KL1菌株制备微生态制剂,探讨该制剂在低胆固醇鸡蛋生产中对蛋鸡生产性能、蛋品质及鸡蛋中胆固醇含量的影响。本试验将120只30周龄健康状态良好且产蛋率接近的农大3号矮小蛋鸡随机分为低、中、高剂量试验组和对照组,每组5个重复,每个重复6只蛋鸡,试验组在基础饲粮中分别添加10⁵、10⁶、10⁷ CFU·（只·d）^-1副干酪乳杆菌KL1微生态制剂,对照组饲喂基础饲粮,连续饲喂10周。对蛋鸡的生产性能、蛋品质和鸡蛋中的胆固醇进行测定和计算。结果表明：1）中剂量组的蛋鸡饲养日产蛋率与对照组相比有显著提高（P<0.05）;2）与对照组相比,中、高剂量组的蛋壳强度、蛋壳厚度和血清钙水平有显著提高（P<0.05）,蛋黄相对重有极显著提高（P<0.01）;3）低、中、高剂量组的蛋黄胆固醇含量及血清总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）含量均极显著低于对照组（P<0.01）;高剂量组的血清高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL-C）和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）含量分别极显著高于对照组（P<0.01）和显著低于对照组（P<0.05）。在饲粮中添加副干酪乳杆菌KL1微生态制剂可显著提高蛋鸡生产能力和蛋壳品质,降低鸡蛋中胆固醇含量,总体来看,以10⁶ CFU·（只·d）^-1作为最终添加剂量效果最佳,在低胆固醇鸡蛋的生产中具有良好的应用价值。     

The effects of lindane on laying hens

Feeding lindane, in capsule form, to laying hens at a rate equivalent to 100 mg/kg food for 1 or 2 weeks had little effect on egg production. Longer periods of feeding resulted in a 20 to 30% decrease in the rate of egg production. When treatment was stopped after 4 weeks, the birds recovered and egg production returned to its original rate within a month. The production of flocks treated for 6 weeks or longer became permanently depressed since some birds went out of lay and failed to resume production when the treatment was terminated. Egg shell thickness, egg and yolk weight and hatchability were not significantly affected by the treatment.

The effect of killed Salmonella enteritidis vaccine prior to induced molting on the shedding of s. enteritidis in laying hens

Effects of administering killed Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis (SE) vaccines to laying hens prior to induced molting on egg production and on shedding of SE were investigated. Forty hens were vaccinated with one of two SE vaccines available commercially in the United States and Japan. Twenty-five days after vaccination, feed was withdrawn for 2 wk from 20 vaccinated plus 10 unvaccinated hens to induce molt. Four days after molt induction, all hens were challenged with a dose of 2.4 X 10(9) of SE. For the 25 days following administration of the SE bacterins, egg production in vaccinated hens showed approximately a 15% decrease. After molt induction, egg production in molted hens ceased and then returned to normal levels 8 or 9 wk postvaccination. Through the 3-mo experimental period, the decreases in numbers of eggs laid in the unvaccinated/molted group and two vaccinated/molted groups were 225 (26.2%), 245 (28.4%), and 274 (31.9%), respectively, compared with 860 in the unvaccinated/unmolted group. There was no significant difference in egg lay at the P < 0.05 level among the former three groups. Hens in the vaccinated/molted groups shed about two logs less SE than hens in the unvaccinated/molted group 3 14 days postchallenge (P < 0.05 or 0.01). These results indicate that vaccination prior to induced molting might be effective in preventing the exacerbation of SE problems within flocks in which the potential for SE contamination may exist.     

木醋液对蛋鸡生产性能及蛋品质的影响

本研究旨在探讨木醋液对蛋鸡生产性能及蛋品质的影响。将192只219日龄海兰褐蛋鸡随机分成A、B、C、D 4组,分别饲喂添加0%、0.5%、0.75%、1.0%木醋液的饲料,日饲喂量为124 g。每组设3次重复,每重复16只,试验期80 d。结果表明,添加0.5%、0.75%木醋液处理组产蛋量、产蛋率、蛋白质及钙含量比对照组均有不同程度的提高,且胆固醇含量明显降低。添加1.0%木醋液处理组产蛋量、产蛋率比对照组有所下降。试验结果证实,蛋鸡饲料中添加适量木醋液具有提高蛋鸡生产性能及蛋品质的作用。     

植物乳杆菌WEI-70菌粉对产蛋鸡的安全性及生产性能和蛋品质的影响

试验旨在研究基础日粮中添加植物乳杆菌(Lactobacillus Plantarum)WEI-70菌粉对产蛋鸡的生产性能、蛋品质、组织病理学影响,评价菌株WEI-70对产蛋鸡的安全性和功效性。试验使用305日龄海兰褐蛋鸡288只,随机分为2组,每组设6个重复,每个重复24只鸡,对照组饲喂基础日粮,试验组在基础日粮中添加植物乳杆菌WEI-70冻干菌粉,每克日粮中的活菌浓度为1×10~6 CFU。结果表明:与对照组相比,试验组的平均日产蛋量显著提高了2.71%(P0.05),平均料蛋比显著下降了3.27%(P0.05),哈氏单位显著提高了3.42%(P0.05),蛋黄颜色显著提高了4.37%(P0.05);试验组和对照组的心、肝、脾的脏器重量和脏器指数均无显著差异(P0.05),都没有出现病理学变化,但与对照组相比,试验组的空肠绒毛高度显著提高了31.82%(P0.05)。由此可见,植物乳杆菌WEI-70在蛋鸡养殖生产中能够促进蛋鸡生产性能、蛋品质的提升和空肠绒毛高度增加,并且不会引起脏器的病理变化,体现出较高的安全性。     

Relationship between delayed onset of egg production and involution of the bursa of Fabricius in White Leghorn chickens

The relationship between delayed onset of oviposition and involution of the bursa of Fabricius is described. Chickens studied were 26 weeks of age and had not come into production. The bursae of nonlaying chickens were compared with those of age-matched chickens that had laid the first egg 1, 9 to 11, or 24 days before. The bursae from the nonlaying chickens were similar in weight and morphology to the functional bursae of immature pullets. Bursae of laying chickens, even on the day of the first egg, were markedly involuted. Age of the chicken was not a factor in determining bursal involution. The onset of egg production was directly related to bursal involution.     

一株产细菌素植物乳酸杆菌YJG发酵液对蛋鸡生产性能以及蛋品质的影响

研究一株植物乳酸杆菌细菌素对蛋鸡生产性能和蛋品质的影响。选用232日龄产蛋率和体重相近、健康状况良好的海兰灰蛋鸡225只,试验期为34 d。结果表明:日粮中添加500 AU/kg植物乳酸杆菌细菌素对蛋鸡的产蛋率和平均蛋重的提升幅度最大,各细菌素添加组对降低料蛋比均有显著的效果(P<0.05),对平均日采食量、蛋黄色泽、哈氏单位、蛋壳强度和蛋形指数都有不同程度的改善。植物乳酸杆菌细菌素可以明显改善蛋鸡生产性能和蛋品质,可以为饲料添加剂的研发提供新的思路。     

柱花草粉对蛋鸡生产性能及蛋品质的影响

Excess sodium bicarbonate in the diet and its effect on Leghorn chickens.

1. A commercial 62-week-old layer flock experienced an acute drop in egg production and an increase in shell-less egg production within 2 days of consuming feed erroneously formulated to contain over 30 g/kg instead of 3 g/kg sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Other symptoms included increased water consumption, diarrhoea and increased mortality associated with visceral gout. 2. An experiment was conducted to assess the responses of hens under controlled conditions. Twenty Dekalb XL Single Comb White Leghorn hens (50 weeks old) were placed in individual cages, having ad libitum access to water from trough waterers. Ten hens were fed the TEST (High NaHCO3) feed for one week (Test group), and ten hens remained on normal commercial layer ration (Control group). 3. Hens in the Test group had high water consumption and watery droppings, but egg production and mortality were not affected. Physiological evaluations indicated the Test feed caused metabolic alkalosis. Plasma sodium, urine pH and urinary sodium excretion were increased, and glomerular filtration rates were decreased in the Test group. 4. These physiological effects are consistent with known responses to excess sodium intake in domestic fowl. The reduced egg production and increased mortality caused by the Test feed under commercial conditions may be related to more severe dehydration experienced by hens in multi-bird cages supplied by cup-type watering systems.     

蛋氨酸缺乏对蛋鸡产蛋后期生产性能、血清游离氨基酸含量和肝脏蛋氨酸代谢相关基因表达的影响

本试验旨在研究蛋氨酸缺乏对蛋鸡产蛋后期生产性能、血清游离氨基酸含量和肝脏蛋氨酸代谢相关酶基因表达的影响。选取180只62周龄的海兰灰蛋鸡,根据产蛋率均匀分成3组(每组6个重复,每个重复10只):对照组饲喂蛋氨酸水平为0.33%的饲粮,蛋氨酸缺乏组分别饲喂蛋氨酸水平为0.21%和0.27%的饲粮,试验期90d。结果表明:1)饲粮蛋氨酸缺乏显著降低了蛋鸡的平均日采食量、产蛋率、平均日产蛋重、平均蛋重和不合格蛋率(P0.05),显著提高了料蛋比(P0.05)。2)蛋氨酸缺乏显著降低蛋鸡血清中蛋氨酸的含量(P0.05)。0.21%蛋氨酸组蛋鸡血清中丝氨酸、甘氨酸和丙氨酸的含量显著高于其他2组(P0.05)。0.27%蛋氨酸组蛋鸡血清中缬氨酸、异亮氨酸和精氨酸的含量显著低于对照组(P0.05),脯氨酸的含量显著低于0.21%蛋氨酸组(P0.05)。3)与对照组相比,0.21%蛋氨酸组蛋鸡肝脏中DNA甲基转移酶1、N6-甲基腺苷(m6 A)甲基转移酶3(METTL3)和m6 A甲基转移酶14的表达量显著提高(P0.05),0.27%蛋氨酸组蛋鸡肝脏中METTL3的表达量显著提高(P0.05)。4)与对照组相比,0.21%蛋氨酸组蛋鸡肝脏中甲硫氨酸腺苷转移酶1a、5-甲基四氢叶酸-同型半胱氨酸甲基转移酶(MTR)和胱硫醚-β-合成酶的表达量显著提高(P0.05),0.27%蛋氨酸组蛋鸡肝脏中MTR的表达量显著提高(P0.05)。蛋氨酸缺乏对蛋鸡肝脏甲硫氨酸腺苷高半胱氨酸酶和甜菜碱高半胱氨酸甲基转移酶的表达量无显著影响(P0.05)。由以上结果可知:蛋鸡饲粮高水平的蛋氨酸缺乏会降低蛋鸡的生产性能,可能与蛋氨酸缺乏改变蛋氨酸代谢途径,影响DNA和RNA的甲基化过程有关。     

Effect of prolonged heat stress in single-comb white leghorn hens on progeny resistance to Salmonella enteritidis organ invasion.

In our laboratory, we have often had difficulty infecting neonatal chickens with invasive salmonellae when ambient temperatures exceed 30 C. We hypothesized that this increased resistance in chicks during warmer months may be associated with heat stress-associated maternal factors. Presently, single-comb white leghorn hens were separated into a non-heat-stressed group, reared under temperatures from approximately 10 to 24 C, and a heat-stressed group, in which environmental temperature was incrementally elevated to near 37 C and maintained for the duration of the 13-wk study. For Expt. 1, eggs from heat-stressed or control hens, collected on days 8-14 of the study, were pooled respective to treatment and incubated. At the time of egg collection, mean hen-day egg production was 51.83% or 65% for heat-stressed or control hens, respectively. On day of hatch, progeny from hens in each group were orally challenged with 0.9 x 10(4) colony-forming units (CFU) Salmonella enteritidis (SE). Rates of SE organ invasion of 97.3% or 94.4% were obtained in progeny from heat-stressed or control hens, respectively. In Expt. 2, eggs from heat-stressed or control hens from days 30-42 of the study were collected and pooled by treatment for incubation. Mean hen-day egg production was 46.5% or 72.85% for heat-stressed or control hens, respectively. On day of hatch, progeny were orally challenged with either 2.2 x 10(3) or 2.2 x 10(4) CFU SE. A 100% incidence in SE organ invasion was observed in all groups. In Expt. 3, eggs were collected from days 43 through 56 of the study. Mean hen-day egg production was 19.8% or 76.8% for heat-stressed or control hens, respectively. On day of hatch, progeny were orally challenged with 2 x 10(3) CFU SE. Rates of SE organ invasion of 95.8% or 95.6% were obtained in progeny from heat-stressed or control hens, respectively. These data suggest that factors other than elevated temperature may be responsible for seasonal resistance to invasive salmonellae infection in neonatal chickens observed in our laboratory during warmer months in Texas.     

松针粉对蛋鸡生产性能、蛋品质、血清生化指标和抗氧化指标的影响

试验旨在研究松针粉对蛋鸡生产性能、蛋品质、血清生化指标和抗氧化指标的影响,以期为松针粉在蛋鸡生产中的应用提供参考。选用120羽40周龄健康产蛋期京粉1号蛋鸡作为试验动物,随机分为2组,每组6个重复,每个重复10羽鸡。对照组饲喂基础饲粮,试验组用3%松针粉替代基础饲粮中的小麦麸。预试期7 d,正试期56 d。试验期间,每天按重复记录采食量、产蛋总数、总蛋重等,并以组为单位统计其平均日采食量、平均蛋重、日产蛋量、料蛋比等;在正试期第28和56天,分别从各重复中取2枚鸡蛋测定蛋壳强度、蛋壳厚度、蛋黄颜色、哈夫单位;在试验结束前1 d和结束当天,从各重复中抽取10枚鸡蛋于4℃贮藏,每次从各重复中取2枚鸡蛋,测定其贮藏后第15、20、60、105天的哈夫单位;在正试期第56天从各重复中选取试验蛋鸡1只,空腹12 h后经翅下静脉采血5 mL后分离血清,采用全自动生化仪测定血清中总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL-C）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）、总蛋白（TP）、白蛋白（ALB）、尿酸（UA）、尿素（Urea）、葡萄糖（GLU）含量及丙氨酸氨基转移酶（ALT）、天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶（AST）、碱性磷酸酶（ALP）活性;采用试剂盒法测定血清中丙二醛（MDA）含量、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（GSH-Px）、谷胱甘肽（GSH）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）的活性和总抗氧化能力（T-AOC）。结果显示：①与对照组相比,饲粮中添加松针粉显著提高了蛋鸡产蛋率（P<0.05）,显著降低了平均蛋重和料蛋比（P<0.05）,但平均日采食量、平均日产蛋量和合格蛋率均无显著差异（P>0.05）。②试验第28天,试验组蛋黄颜色值显著高于对照组（P<0.05）,试验第56天,两组间蛋黄颜色值差异不显著（P>0.05）;其余时间点,饲粮中添加松针粉对鸡蛋的哈夫单位、蛋壳厚度和蛋壳强度均无显著影响（P>0.05）。③与对照组相比,饲粮中添加松针粉对蛋鸡血清TC、TG、HDL-C、LDL-C、TP、ALB、球蛋白（GLB）、尿素、UA和GLU含量以及ALT、AST、ALP活性均无显著影响（P>0.05）,显著提高了蛋鸡血清MDA含量和GSH-Px活性（P<0.05）,但对GSH含量和SOD、CAT活性以及T-AOC均无显著影响（P>0.05）。综上所述,饲粮中添加3%松针粉能够显著提高蛋鸡产蛋率,改善料蛋比和蛋黄颜色,显著提高蛋鸡血清MDA含量和GSH-Px活性,但未影响机体T-AOC。因此,蛋鸡饲粮中用3%松针粉替代等比例的小麦麸是可行的。
