Effect of protein malnutrition on the skin epidermis of hairless mice

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of protein malnutrition on the skin epidermis of mice. A low protein diet induced thinning of the skin epidermis, a decrease of cell proliferative activity in epidermal cells and a decrease of stratum corneum hydration. Dityrosine was immunostained in the cytoplasm of epidermal cells in the low protein diet group. Plasma advanced oxidation protein product (AOPP) levels were significantly more increased in the low protein diet group than in the control diet group. These results suggest that protein malnutrition adversely affects the structure and water barrier and reservoir functions of the skin epidermis, and these pathological changes are associated with the expressions of protein oxidation markers, dityrosine and AOPP.     

饲粮中不同比例桑叶粉对湖羊瘤胃上皮组织结构的影响

本试验旨在研究饲粮中不同比例的桑叶粉对育肥湖羊瘤胃上皮组织结构的影响。选取3月龄育肥湖羊40只,随机分为5组,每组8只。各组用桑叶粉分别替代饲粮中精料的0(A组)、15%(B组)、30%(C组)、45%(D组)、60%(E组)。预试期2周,正试期8周。结果表明:1)B组和C组瘤胃重/复胃重显著高于A组(P0.05)。2)各组瘤胃乳头宽度的差异不显著(P0.05)。3)对于瘤胃上皮的角质层宽度,A组高于其他各组,其中显著高于C组和D组(P0.05);对于瘤胃上皮颗粒层宽度,除D组显著高于E组(P0.05)外,其余各组间差异不显著(P0.05);对于棘突层和基底层宽度,与A组相比,桑叶粉处理能提高棘突层和基底层的宽度,但是作用不显著(P0.05),D组和B组的基底层宽度显著高于C组(P0.05)。总之,用桑叶粉替代15%~45%的精料能在一定程度上提高湖羊复胃的重量,促进的棘突层和基底层细胞的分裂,从而促进瘤胃上皮组织发育,同时,也有效降低了瘤胃上皮角质层的宽度。     

苜蓿鲜草和青饲玉米对奶牛生产性能和乳品质的影响

探讨日粮中添加苜蓿鲜草和青饲玉米对奶牛生产性能及其乳成分的影响,本试验选用荷斯坦泌乳奶牛20头,随机分为2组,对照组饲喂秸秆和精料补充料;试验组饲喂苜蓿鲜草、青饲玉米和精料补充料日粮。试验结果表明,日粮中添加苜蓿鲜草和青饲玉米,可极显著提高奶牛的生产性能和乳脂率(P<0.01),显著提高干物质采食量和乳蛋白含量(P<0.05)。     

The effect of dietary supplementation with rumen‐protected methionine alone or in combination with rumen‐protected choline and betaine on sheep milk and antioxidant capacity

This study investigated the effects of dietary inclusion of rumen‐protected methionine alone or in combination with rumen‐protected choline and betaine on: (i) milk yield, chemical composition and fatty acids (FA) profile and (ii) blood plasma glutathione transferase (GST) activity of periparturient ewes. Furthermore, the oxidative stress indicators for measuring total antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity [ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) and 2,2′‐azino‐bis (3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulphonic acid) (ABTS) assays] were also determined in plasma and milk of ewes. Thus, 45 ewes were divided into three equal groups. Each animal of the control group fed daily with a basal diet. The same diet was offered also in each animal of the other two groups. However, the concentrate fed to M group was supplemented with 2.5 g/kg rumen‐protected methionine, while the concentrate fed to MCB group with 5 g/kg of a commercial product which contained a combination of methionine, choline and betaine, all three in rumen‐protected form. The results showed that the M diet, compared with the control, increased significantly the ewe's milk fat and the total solids content. Likewise, a tendency for higher milk fat and total solids content in ewes fed the MCB diet was also observed. Both M and MCB diets had not noticeable impact on ewes milk FA profile. Significantly higher FRAP values in the blood plasma of ewes fed the MCB and in the milk of ewes fed with the M diet compared with the control were found. Additionally, significantly higher GST activity in the blood plasma of ewes fed the M diet, compared with the control, was observed. Moreover, a significant increase (by 20%) and a tendency for increase (by 16.72%) in the growth rate of lambs nursing ewes fed with M and MCB diets, respectively, compared to controls, were found.     

Evaluating the suitability of field beans as a substitute for soybean meal in early-lactating dairy cow: Production and metabolic responses

Twenty-four multiparous Holstein cows were utilized in a completely randomized design to examine the effect of feeding field beans (FB, Vicia faba L. var. minor) as substitute for soybean meal (SBM) on lactation performance and metabolic response during the early lactation period. Cows were individually divided into two equal groups and fed for 16 weeks on one each of the two experimental diets. The controls were fed pelleted concentrate contained 150 g/kg dry matter (DM) of SBM as the main protein source, whereas the experimental concentrate contained 345 g/kg DM of FB. Oat hay was offered ad libitum to cows and water was freely available. Blood samples were assayed for their content of: urea, glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, total protein, albumin, calcium and phosphorus, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA). Inclusion of FB had no detectable effects on DM intake (DMI), body weight (BW), or body condition score (BCS). Neither milk yield nor quality were influenced by dietary treatment, except for milk urea nitrogen (MU) that was reduced in cows fed the FB diet (P < 0.05). Clotting properties of milk were not affected adversely by added dietary FB. Concentration of blood urea (BU) was lower in cows fed the FB diet than in those fed the control SBM diet (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that feeding FB in a lactation diet supported lactation performance similar to cows fed traditional SBM-based diet, and the results may elicit great interest for countries where soybean utilization is adversely influenced by high supply costs.     

不同高精料耐受时间对泌乳期山羊肝脏糖脂代谢的影响

为了研究饲喂高精料日粮对泌乳期山羊肝脏糖脂代谢的影响,试验选用16只健康经产泌乳中期关中奶山羊,随机分为3组,低精料组(LC, n=5)、长期高精料组(HL, n=7)和短期高精料组(HS, n=4)。实验结束后采集血液和肝脏组织。结果显示,与LC组相比,HL和HS组奶山羊血糖和肝糖原水平显著升高(P<0.05),血液中甘油三酯(TG)水平显著降低(P<0.05),胆固醇(Tch)含量没有显著变化(P>0.05);HS组山羊肝脏TG和Tch水平显著增加(P<0.05),HL组无显著变化 (P>0.05)。HL组肝脏中丙酮酸羧化酶(PC)和葡萄糖转运蛋白2(GLUT2)mRNA表达水平显著上调;HS组肝脏PC、固醇调节元件结合蛋白1(SREBP1)、硬脂酰辅酶A去饱和酶(SCD)、二酰基甘油酰基转移酶(DGAT)和3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酰辅酶A还原酶(HMGCR) mRNA表达水平显著升高(P<0.05),SREBP-2有升高的趋势(P=0.76),肉碱棕榈酰转移酶-1(CPT-1)和胆固醇7α-羟化酶(CYP7α1)mRNA表达显著下降(P<0.05);线粒体型磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧激酶(PCK2)蛋白表达水平显著升高(P<0.05)。以上结果表明,短期饲喂高精料日粮能增强肝脏糖异生能力,促进肝脏胆固醇和脂肪合成;而长期饲喂高精料日粮能增强肝脏糖异生作用,但对胆固醇和脂肪代谢相关基因的表达没有影响。     

非特异性卵黄抗体对雏鸡生长性能、免疫机能及微生物数量的影响

试验旨在研究日粮中添加非特异性卵黄抗体（IgY）对雏鸡生长性能、免疫机能及微生物数量的影响,为IgY作为饲料添加剂在畜禽饲料中的应用提供理论依据。选取同一批出雏、体重接近的1日龄罗曼褐公雏240只,随机分为2组（对照组和试验组）,每组6个重复,每个重复20只雏鸡。对照组饲喂基础日粮,试验组在基础日粮中添加0.1%非特异性IgY,试验期6周。每周末称重,在6周龄末从每个重复选取接近该重复平均体重的试验鸡2只屠宰,测定其消化器官的发育、相关免疫指标及肠道微生物数量。结果发现,与对照组相比,日粮中添加非特异性IgY显著提高了1和5周龄雏鸡体重（P < 0.05）;显著提高了雏鸡腺胃重、脾脏重、血清白细胞介素-2、空肠食糜分泌型免疫球蛋白A（sIgA）含量（P < 0.05）;显著提高了盲肠乳酸杆菌数量（P < 0.05）。以上结果表明,雏鸡日粮中添加非特异性IgY可以促进雏鸡的生长和消化器官发育,提高机体的免疫机能,促进肠道有益菌生长。     

热应激条件下粗饲料组合对奶牛氮素利用的影响

为了研究粗饲料组合对热应激奶牛氮素利用的影响,试验选取20头胎次和泌乳天数相似的健康荷斯坦奶牛,随机分成2组,每组10头,分别饲喂2种粗饲料组合饲粮:玉米青贮+苜蓿(0.92∶1.00,AF组)和玉米秸秆(CS组)。2组饲粮精料相同,精粗比均为63.7∶36.3。预试期1周,正试期8周。结果表明:1)与CS组相比,AF组奶牛产奶量及能量校正乳、4%脂肪校正乳、乳蛋白和乳糖产量显著或极显著升高(P0.01或P0.05)。2)奶牛对AF组饲粮粗蛋白质表观消化率极显著高于CS组(P0.01)。3)与CS组相比,AF组瘤胃微生物蛋白产量显著升高(P0.05),而尿液和血液尿素氮浓度极显著降低(P0.01)。4)与CS组相比,AF组氮摄入量和乳中氮产量极显著升高(P0.01),但氮转化效率显著降低(P0.05)。结果提示,与玉米秸秆相比,玉米青贮+苜蓿的组合能提高饲粮粗蛋白质水平,增加热应激奶牛粗蛋白质表观消化率,促进瘤胃微生物蛋白和乳蛋白的合成,但氮的转化效率有待提高。     

日粮铬水平对热应激种公鸡免疫功能及蛋白质代谢的影响

选用72只35周龄罗曼褐种公鸡随机分成6组,每组12只,对照组饲喂基础日粮,试验Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ、Ⅴ组分别在基础日粮中添加酵母铬0.2、0.4、0.6、0.8、1.0 mg/kg,探讨日粮铬水平对热应激种公鸡免疫功能及蛋白质代谢的影响.结果显示:与对照组相比,试验Ⅲ、Ⅳ、Ⅴ组热应激种公鸡血清中牛血清白蛋白抗体滴度、免疫球蛋白含量、血清总蛋白、白蛋白含量显著提高,全血T淋巴细胞转化率增强.     

Effects of Nonspecific IgY on Growth Performance,Immune Function and Microbiota Number of Chicks

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary nonspecific IgY on growth performance, immune function and microbiota number of chicks, to provide the theory basis for practical application as feed additive in livestock and poultry. 240 one-day-old Roman rooster hens with same batch of hatching and similar body weight were randomly divided into 2 groups (control group and experimental group), with 6 replicates in each group and 20 chicks in each replicate. Chicks in the control group were fed with a basal diet, and the others in the experimental group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.1% nonspecific IgY. The experiment lasted for 6 weeks. At the age of 6 weeks, 2 chicks from each replicate were weighed and slaughtered, and the development of internal organs, immune index and microbiota number were determined. The results showed that:Comparing with the control group, the weight of chicks at the age of 1 and 5 weeks, the glandular stomach weight, spleen weight, serum IL-2 content, jejunal sIgA content and cecal Lactobacilli number in experimental group were significantly increased (P < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of nonspecific IgY could enhance growth performance, digestive organ development, immune function, and intestinal bacteria number.     

不同精粗饲料对泌乳中期山羊氨基酸的代谢流向及乳蛋白含量的影响

 通过检测泌乳中期山羊血浆及乳中游离氨基酸含量的变化,探讨不同精粗比饲料对机体中氨基酸（ａｍｉｎｏａｃｉｄｓ,ＡＡ）的代谢流向及乳蛋白的影响。选用泌乳中期山羊７只,随机分为２组,分别饲喂精粗比４∶６（低精料组）和６∶４（高精料组）日粮,颈静脉血管瘘采血,手工挤奶取奶样。Ｂｒａｄｆｏｒｄ法测定乳中总蛋白质浓度,ＲＰ－ＨＰＬＣ检测山羊血浆和乳中游离氨基酸的含量。结果表明,２组山羊血浆中均分离出１４种游离氨基酸,乳中分离出８种游离氨基酸,不同精粗比饲料对血液或乳中游离氨基酸谱无明显影响。不同精粗比日粮情况下,除丙氨酸外,血液中游离氨基酸的含量均高于乳中同种氨基酸的含量;且血液中生酮氨基酸（Ｌｅｕ,Ｌｙｓ）、兼性氨基酸（Ｐｈｅ,Ｉｌｅ）和支链氨基酸（Ｌｅｕ,Ｉｌｅ和Ｖａｌ）含量显著或极显著高于乳中。高精料组除Ｇｌｙ和Ａｌａ外,其余氨基酸含量均低于低精料组;乳中总蛋白浓度略高于低精料组,但无统计学差异。表明血液中游离氨基酸为乳蛋白的合成提供了原料和能量保证。饲喂高精料日粮,血液中游离氨基酸含量较低,不利于乳蛋白含量和产量的提高。     

大豆甙元对生长期锦江黄牛生产性能、抗氧化能力及免疫性能的影响

本试验旨在研究大豆甙元对生长期锦江黄牛生产性能、抗氧化能力及免疫性能的影响。选取20头健康状况良好、体重为(140±5)kg的生长期锦江黄牛,随机分为4组,每组5头牛。对照组饲喂基础饲粮(精粗比为4∶6),试验组分别饲喂在基础饲粮中添加了100、200和400 mg/kg大豆甙元的试验饲粮。限饲各组的干物质采食量均为3.98 kg/d。预试期为10 d,正试期为60 d。结果表明:1)各试验组平均日增重显著高于对照组(P0.05),400 mg/kg组较对照组高126.6 g/d。2)各试验组粗蛋白质表观消化率均显著高于对照组(P0.05)。3)与对照组相比,各试验组血清总超氧化物歧化酶(T-SOD)活性均显著升高(P0.05);各试验组血清谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性相比于对照组均有升高的趋势(0.05≤P≤0.10);各试验组血清丙二醛(MDA)含量均低于对照组,但差异不显著(P0.05)。4)各试验组血清免疫球蛋白(Ig)M含量均显著高于对照组(P0.05),同时400 mg/kg组显著高于100 mg/kg组(P0.05);各试验组的血清IgG含量相比于对照组均有一定程度的升高,但差异均不显著(P0.05)。由上述结果可见,饲粮中添加适量的大豆甙元可以提高生长期锦江黄牛养分消化率,促进犊牛的生长,同时提高免疫及抗氧化性能。     

低聚壳聚糖对母猪繁殖性能、泌乳性能和血浆生化指标的影响

本试验旨在探讨饲粮中添加低聚壳聚糖对母猪繁殖性能、泌乳性能和血浆生化指标的影响。选择24头胎次、体重和预产期相近的健康大白猪母猪,随机分为3个组,每组8个重复,每个重复1头猪。对照组饲喂基础饲粮,试验Ⅰ组和Ⅱ组饲粮在基础饲粮中分别添加50和100 g/t的低聚壳聚糖。试验从母猪妊娠第85天时开始,至分娩后第21天时结束。结果表明:1)与对照组相比,饲粮中添加低聚壳聚糖可显著增加母猪的健仔数和哺乳期平均日采食量(P0.05),显著降低母猪的产程(P0.05),且在一定程度上可改善母猪的便秘和降低母猪的背膘厚损失;与对照组相比,试验Ⅰ组仔猪的初生窝重显著增加(P0.05),试验Ⅱ组母猪的哺乳期泌乳量显著增加(P0.05)。2)与对照组相比,试验Ⅰ组和Ⅱ组母猪初乳中乳脂肪含量显著增加(P0.05),试验Ⅰ组初乳中尿素氮(UN)含量和常乳中精氨酸、总氨基酸、限制性氨基酸含量显著增加(P0.05)。3)试验Ⅰ组和Ⅱ组母猪的血浆谷丙转氨酶(GPT)活性显著低于对照组(P0.05),各组的血浆碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)活性和总蛋白(TP)、白蛋白(ALB)、UN、甘油三酯(TG)、总胆固醇(CHO)、高密度脂蛋白(HDL)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL)含量均无显著差异(P0.05)。由此可见,饲粮中添加低聚壳聚糖对母猪的繁殖性能和泌乳性能均有一定的促进作用。综合本研究结果,50 g/t低聚壳聚糖为母猪饲粮中的最佳添加剂量。     

日粮中添加叶黄素对牛乳理化指标的影响

试验旨在研究叶黄素对牛乳叶黄素沉积与理化指标的影响。试验选择胎次、泌乳天数、产奶性能和体细胞数相近奶牛60头,随机分为5组,分别为对照组、处理Ⅰ组、处理Ⅱ组、处理Ⅲ组和处理Ⅳ组,每组12头。对处理组奶牛每天分别饲喂叶黄素50 g（A试验料）、100 g（A试验料）、100 g（B试验料）、150 g（A试验料）。其中在0、10、20、30、40和50 d检测牛奶中叶黄素、乳脂肪、乳蛋白质、乳糖和干物质含量及泌乳量的变化情况。结果表明,在本试验条件下,日粮中添加叶黄素样品A优于样品B。添加150 g/（d·头）（以日采食10 kg精料计）样品A可显著提高奶中叶黄素的含量。建议生产中日粮叶黄素添加量选用150 g/（d·头）为宜。     

不同水平烟酸铬对热应激状态下水牛泌乳性能、抗氧化性能和瘤胃微生物多样性的影响

本试验旨在研究不同添加水平烟酸铬对热应激状态下水牛泌乳性能、抗氧化性能和微生物多样性的影响。试验选取体重、日龄、胎次和产奶量相近，泌乳中期的健康尼里-拉菲水牛20头。采用单因素随机区组设计，将试验牛分为4组（Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ组），每组5个重复。Ⅰ组饲喂基础日粮，Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ组在基础日粮中分别添加1.5、3.0和4.5 mg/（d·头）烟酸铬。试验预饲期1周，试验期4周。试验结果表明，热应激条件下，①日粮中添加不同水平的烟酸铬对干物质采食量的影响差异不显著（P>0.05），试验组中性洗涤纤维（NDF）和酸性洗涤纤维（ADF）的表观消化率均有不同程度上升；②日粮中烟酸铬添加水平对瘤胃pH、以及乙酸、丙酸、丁酸等挥发性脂肪酸无显著影响（P>0.05）；③日粮添加3.0 mg/（d·头）烟酸铬显著提高了水牛的产奶量（P<0.05）；各组间乳蛋白率、乳脂率、乳总固形物和非脂固形物差异不显著（P>0.05）；④水牛血清丙二醛（MDA）含量、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（GSH-Px）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性在试验组与对照组间无显著差异（P>0.05）；与对照组相比，3.0 mg/（d·头）烟酸铬组的三碘甲状腺原氨酸（T3）和甲状腺素（T4）浓度显著增加（P<0.05）；⑤与对照组相比，试验组水牛长链乳脂不饱和脂肪酸的含量有所提高；⑥在门水平上，各组水牛的优势菌群均为拟杆菌门（Bacteroidetes）、厚壁菌门（Firmicutes）和变形菌门（Proteobacteria），样本整体呈现出较丰富的多样性。日粮添加3.0 mg/（d·头）烟酸铬能改善水牛泌乳性能及抗氧化性能，效果优于其他组。     

Kinematic gait analysis and lactation performance in dairy cows fed a diet supplemented with zinc,manganese, copper and cobalt

This study investigated how supplementation of the diet of dairy cows with trace minerals (zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt) affected kinematic gait parameters and lactation performance. Eight Holstein cows were divided into two groups, with each group receiving a different dietary treatment (control diet, or control diet supplemented with trace minerals) in a two‐period crossover design. Kinematic gait parameters were calculated by using image analysis software. Compared to cows fed the control diet, cows that received the trace mineral‐supplemented diet exhibited significantly increased walking and stepping rates, and had a shorter stance duration. Feed intake and milk production increased in cows fed the trace mineral‐supplemented diet compared with control groups. The plasma manganese concentration was not different in control and experimental cows. In contrast, cobalt was only detected in the plasma of cows fed the supplemented diet. These results provide the first evidence that trace mineral supplementation of the diet of dairy cows affects locomotion, and that the associated gait changes can be detected by using kinematic gait analysis. Moreover, trace mineral supplementation improved milk production and only minimally altered blood and physiological parameters in dairy cows.     

Combined effects of fasting and diet on interferon production and virus replication in calves infected with a vaccine strain of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus

A study was undertaken to investigate the combined effects of fasting and different diets on interferon (IFN) production and virus replication measured in nasal secretions of calves inoculated with a vaccine strain of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. Four groups of calves were inoculated intranasally with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. Two groups were inoculated 24 hours after onset of a 3-day fast; upon refeeding, 1 group was fed a maintenance diet (M diet) of hay, and the other was fed a higher energy diet (HE diet) of hay and concentrate. Nonfasted control groups were fed the M diet or the HE diet. Overall IFN production was highest (P less than 0.01) in nonfasted calves fed the M diet throughout the study and lowest in nonfasted calves fed the HE diet. Fasted calves refed the HE diet produced consistently and significantly more IFN than did nonfasted calves fed this diet. Fasted calves refed the M diet, however, produced significantly less IFN, compared with control calves fed the M diet throughout the study. Overall mean virus excretion was similar in all groups; therefore, the amount of virus replication per se did not account for the differences in IFN production, nor did greater IFN production result in less virus excretion. Serum cortisol concentrations and immune responses were not significantly affected by fasting or diet.     

饲粮中添加黄花蒿乙醇提取物对奶牛产奶性能及乳脂中共轭亚油酸含量的影响

本文旨在研究饲粮中添加黄花蒿乙醇提取物对奶牛产奶性能及乳脂中共轭亚油酸(CLA)含量的影响。试验选取体重(600±29)kg、胎次2~3胎、泌乳期(158±3)d及泌乳量(22.8±1.8)kg/d的泌乳期荷斯坦奶牛15头,采用完全随机区组设计分为3组,每组5头,进行为期40 d的饲养试验,其中1~9 d为预试期,10~40 d为正试期。对照组饲喂基础饲粮,试验1组和试验2组分别在基础饲粮中添加96和160 g/(d·头)的黄花蒿乙醇提取物。结果表明:整个试验期间,2个试验组的产奶量(第24、31和40天)、乳脂率、乳脂产量、乳蛋白率、乳蛋白产量、非脂固形物含量以及乳脂中的饱和脂肪酸、单不饱和脂肪酸、多不饱和脂肪酸、短链脂肪酸、中链脂肪酸和长链脂肪酸含量与对照组相比均无显著差异(P0.05);2个试验组的乳脂中CLA含量分别比对照组提高了30.7%和38.6%,其中试验2组与对照组差异显著(P0.05)。由此得出,饲粮中添加适量的黄花蒿乙醇提取物对奶牛产奶性能没有明显影响,但可以提高其乳脂中CLA含量,从而优化乳脂中脂肪酸的比例。     

不同硒源对泌乳中期荷斯坦奶牛生产性能、抗氧化性能及营养物质表观消化率的影响

本试验旨在研究不同硒源对泌乳中期荷斯坦奶牛生产性能、抗氧化性能及营养物质表观消化率的影响。试验选取45头产奶量、胎次、泌乳日龄相近的健康中国荷斯坦奶牛,随机分成3组,每组15头。对照组饲喂不添加硒的基础饲粮,无机硒(SS)组饲喂基础饲粮+0.3 mg/kg亚硒酸钠,有机硒(SO)组饲喂基础饲粮+0.3 mg/kg蛋氨酸硒羟基类似物。试验期91 d,其中预试期7 d,正试期84 d。结果表明:1)饲粮中添加硒对奶牛的干物质采食量、产奶量及乳成分没有显著影响(P0.05)。2)与对照组相比,SO组血清总抗氧化能力和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性显著升高(P0.05),血清丙二醛含量显著降低(P0.05),但SS组以上指标与对照组没有显著差异(P0.05)。3)各组中性洗涤纤维、酸性洗涤纤维和干物质的表观消化率差异不显著(P0.05)。与对照组相比,SO组有机物、粗蛋白质及粗脂肪的表观消化率显著提高(P0.05);SS组有机物和粗蛋白质的表观消化率提高,但差异不显著(P0.05)。综上所述,饲粮添加不同硒源对泌乳中期荷斯坦奶牛的生产性能没有影响,但与对照组相比,硒添加组的抗氧化性能和营养物质的表观消化率提高,而且SO组的效果明显优于SS组。     

Utilization of glucose and long-chain fatty acids in lactating dairy cows fed a fat-enriched diet

The fate of carbon from long-chain fatty acids and glucose in dairy cows which were fed with protected fat was studied using stable isotope technique. The experiment was carried out on two groups of dairy cows (n=16 in each group) during the first 15 weeks of the lactation period. The cows were fed isoenergetic and isoproteinogenous diets based on corn silage. About 1.8 kg of tapioca starch in the diet of the starch group was substituted by about 0.7 kg of rumen protected fat (Ca salts of palm oil and soybean oil) in the diet of the fat group. The carbon atoms of dietary fat were naturally depleted in 13C as compared to carbon atoms of starch. Daily milk performance and lactose output were significantly (P < 0.05) higher among the cows fed with fat diet. In comparison to the starch group, the enrichment of milk fat with 13C was significantly lower, while that of breath CO2 was significantly higher in the fat group (P < 0.05). This means the fatty acids were incorporated into milk fat in preference to metabolic oxidation. Further studies showed that blood glucose is oxidized to a lower extent and is used for the synthesis of lactose to a higher proportion if the cows were fed with the fat diet. The glucose entry rate into the body glucose pool was not different between the diets. In conclusion, the dietary fatty acids perform a glucose sparing effect and improve the glucose supply for the mammary gland.
