为了解云南省部分地区规模化猪场种公猪精液繁殖障碍病毒性病原的感染状况,应用PCR对2014年—2016年间云南省部分地区规模化猪场212份种公猪精液进行了猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)、猪瘟病毒(CSFV)、猪伪狂犬病病毒(PRV)、猪圆环病毒2型(PCV2)和猪细小病毒(PPV)5种与猪繁殖障碍有关的病原检测。结果表明,PPRSV阳性率为7.08%,CSFV阳性率为3.77%,PCV2阳性率为6.60%,PRV阳性率为3.30%,没有检测出PPV,PRRSV和PCV2的感染率呈上升趋势,其他疫病保持相对平稳态势。所有的混合感染样品中,均检测出了PRRSV,其中PRRSV和PCV2的混合感染最为常见。结果提示,控制猪场疫病发生的关键是控制PRRSV和PCV2的流行,有必要加强对种猪群的疫病病毒检测,推行种猪场主要疫病的控制与净化工作。     

广西猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒感染状况调查

采用RT-PCR技术,对2004年1月至2005年4月期间,广西13个市104个疑似猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)感染猪场,无菌采取231头病、死猪的组织病料(肺脏、淋巴结、脾脏)进行了病毒检测。同时,对鉴定为PRRSV阳性的组织病料和猪场进行了猪圆环病毒2型(PCV2)、猪瘟病毒(CSFV)和猪伪狂犬病毒(PRV)的检测,以确定猪群中PRRSV与PCV2、CSFV和PRV混合感染情况。结果从12个市的115份组织病料中检出PRRSV,病料的平均阳性率为49.78%(115/231),猪场的平均阳性率为61.54%(64/104),不同地市有一定的差异。PRRSV与PCV2、CSFV和/或PRV二重或多重混和感染的组织病料总数为53份,猪场总数为39个,混合感染的组织病料和猪场的总阳性率分别为22.94%(53/231)和37.50%(39/104)。混合感染的组织病料占PRRSV阳性组织病料的46.09%(53/115),混合感染的猪场占PRRSV阳性猪场的60.94%(39/64)。其中以PCV2和PRRSV混合感染的组织病料和猪场数最多。由此可见,PRRSV感染在广西猪场已普遍存在,与其他病毒混合感染现象逐渐趋向复杂化。     

2005～2006年广西地区猪流感的分子流行病学调查

为了解广西猪群中猪流感(Swine influenza,SI)的流行情况,本调查主要采用RT-PCR方法,对2005~2006年从12个规模猪场随机采集的530份猪鼻腔棉拭子(不同年龄段)和108个猪场送检的239份有呼吸道症状病猪的组织病料样品(肺、脾和淋巴结等)进行了SIV检测;同时,对SIV阳性组织病料样品进行了猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)、猪圆环病毒2型(PCV2)、猪瘟病毒(CSFV)、猪伪狂犬病病毒(PRV)和猪细小病毒(PPV)的检测,以确定猪群中SIV的感染以及与其他病毒混和感染情况。结果显示:从不同年龄段猪的鼻腔棉拭子中均能检测到SIV,且平均阳性率为15.85%(84/530)。从11个市30个猪场54份的组织病料中检出SIV,组织病料和猪场的平均阳性率分别为22.59%(54/239)和27.78%(30/108)。SIV常常与PRRSV、PCV2、CSFV、PPV和/或PRV二重或多重混和感染,占检测样品的19.25%(46/239),其中以SIV与PCV2和PRRSV混合感染最为常见,阳性率分别占检测样品的13.81%(33/239)和8.37%(20/239)。由此可见,SIV已经感染广西猪群,且SIV常与其他病原体以混合感染的方式对广西养猪业构成潜在危害。     

种公猪精液中与繁殖障碍有关的6种病毒的检测

采用PCR和RT-PCR技术,于2006年4月～10月对上海及其周边地区的30个猪场和人工授精站的生产公猪精液样品355份进行了猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)、猪伪狂犬病病毒(PRV)、猪细小病毒(PPV)、猪圆环病毒(PCV)、猪瘟病毒(CSFV)和日本脑炎病毒(JEV)等6种与猪繁殖障碍有关的病毒的检测,结果表明,日本脑炎病毒检测为阴性,检出PRRSV、PRV、CSFV、PPV和PCV阳性数和阳性率分别为6份(1.69%)、9份(2.54%)、5份(1.41%)、75份(21.1%)、6份(1.69%),有一个猪场的5份样品存在PRV和PPV混合感染.     

猪圆环病毒2型PCR检测方法的建立及应用

根据GenBark中登录的猪圆环病毒2型基因序列,应用PrimerPremier5.0设计筛选一对扩增ORF2基因引物,建立从猪病料中直接检测PCV2感染的PCR方法。扩增PCV2阳性样品出现一条447bp的特异性DNA条带,扩增产物测序结果证实为PCV2ORF2基因序列。应用本方法扩增猪瘟病毒(HCV)、猪繁殖与障碍综合征病毒(PRRSV)、猪伪狂犬病毒(PRV)、猪细小病毒(PPV)等常见猪病原均未出现特异性条带,表明方法特异;敏感性试验结果表明,样品DNA模板检测浓度可达到9.8×10-4ng/μL;重复性和稳定性试验结果表明,用本试验建立的PCR方法进行PCV2检测,结果稳定可靠。经病猪临床检测应用,在66份病猪样本中,PCV2感染阳性率为27.27%,且多与PRRSV、PRV、HCV、PPV等一种或多种病毒混合感染,混合感染比例达72.22%。     

应用PCR方法对广西公猪精液的伪狂犬病、圆环病毒2型和细小病毒混合感染情况的检测

应用PCR技术,2006年对广西11个猪场的公猪精液235头份进行猪伪狂犬病(PRV)、圆环病毒2型(PCV2)和猪细小病毒(PPV)混合感染情况的检测。结果,235份样品中PRV阳性率为5.53%,PCV2阳性率为17.02%,PPV阳性率为13.62%;PRV与PCV2、PPV均存在不同的混合感染现象。结果表明,我区公猪精液PRV、PCV2和PRV带毒情况比较严重,成为当前造成母猪繁殖障碍和规模场猪群发病的主要原因,这将为今后种猪场对PRV、PCV2和PRV的控制与净化工作提供了依据。     

贵州省规模化养猪场繁殖障碍性疾病的血清学调查

采用间接酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)和乳胶凝集试验(LAT),对贵州省4个地区6个规模化猪场240份血清进行猪瘟病毒(CSFV)、猪细小病毒(PPV)、猪伪狂犬病毒(PRV)、猪繁殖障碍与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)及猪圆环病毒2型(PCV2)抗体水平检测。结果:CS-FV、PPV和PRV免疫抗体阳性率分别为64.2%、77.9%和59.2%;PRRSV、PCV2抗体阳性率分别为10.4%和32.5%。上述结果表明,猪细小病毒病、猪伪狂犬病和猪瘟免疫效果比较理想,但6个规模场存在PRRSV和PCV2混合感染,应引起各养殖场高度重视。     

猪细小病毒、猪伪狂犬病病毒和猪圆环病毒2型多重PCR检测方法的建立与应用

根据GenBank中已发表的猪细小病毒(porcine parvovirus,PPV)、猪伪狂犬病病毒(pseudorabies virus,PRV)和猪圆环病毒2型 (porcine circovirus type 2,PCV2)基因序列,对各病毒基因区进行同源性分析,确定PPV 的VP2、PRV的 gD、和PCV2的ORF2基因为各病毒的诊断靶序列,设计特异性引物,在建立各病毒单项PCR技术的基础上,优化多重PCR反应条件,建立了3种病毒的多重PCR技术,可同时扩增PPV 313 bp、 PRV 217 bp和PCV2 447 bp的特异性片段。用多重PCR技术与单项PCR技术对比检测试验证明两者的符合率为100％,表明建立的多重PCR检测方法,具有特异、快速、准确的特点,可同时鉴别诊断这3种病毒。从10个发病猪场和门诊病例的病猪采集的211份样品,用建立的多重PCR检测方法,检出PPV阳性42份,阳性率为19.91%;PRV阳性26份,阳性率为12.32%;PCV2阳性56份,阳性率为26.54%;2种以上病毒混合感染25份,混合感染阳性率为11.85%。检测结果表明,山西省猪群已感染这3种疫病。     

Comparisons of Angus, Charolais, Galloway, Hereford, Longhorn, Nellore, Piedmontese, Salers, and Shorthorn breeds for weight, weight adjusted for condition score, height, and condition score of cows

Breed differences for weight (CW), height (CH), and condition score (CS) were estimated from records (n = 12,188) of 2- to 6-yr-old cows (n = 744) from Cycle IV of the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center's Germplasm Evaluation (GPE) Program. Cows were produced from mating Angus and Hereford dams to Angus, Hereford, Charolais, Shorthorn, Galloway, Longhorn, Nellore, Piedmontese, and Salers sires. Samples of Angus and Hereford sires were 1) reference sires born from 1962 through 1970 and 2) 1980s sires born in 1980 through 1987. The mixed model included cow age, season of measurement and their interactions, year of birth, pregnancy-lactation code (PL), and breedgroup as fixed effects for CW and CS. Analyses of weight adjusted for condition score included CS as a linear covariate. The model for CH excluded PL. Random effects were additive genetic and permanent environmental effects associated with the cow. Differences among breed groups were significant (P < 0.05) for all traits and were maintained through maturity with few interchanges in ranking. The order of F1 cows for weight was as follows: Charolais (506 to 635 kg for different ages), Shorthorn and Salers, reciprocal Hereford-Angus (HA) with 1980s sires, Nellore, HA with reference sires, Galloway, Piedmontese, and Longhorn (412 to 525 kg for different ages). Order for height was as follows: Nellore (136 to 140 cm), Charolais, Shorthorn, Salers, HA with 1980s sires, Piedmontese, Longhorn, Galloway and HA with reference sires (126 to 128 cm). Hereford and Angus cows with reference sires were generally lighter than those with 1980s sires. In general, breed differences for height followed those for weight except that F1 Nellore cows were tallest, which may in part be due to Bos taurus-Bos indicus heterosis for size.     

Supplementation of broodmares with copper, zinc, iron, manganese, cobalt, iodine, and selenium

In experiment 1, 6 pregnant mares received a concentrate that contained a trace mineral premix that provided 14.3 mg Cu, 40 mg Zn, 28 mg Fe, 28 mg Mn, 0.08 mg Co, 0.16 mg I, and 0.16 mg Se/kg concentrate (group A). Seven mares received the same concentrate plus 502 mg Zn and 127 mg Cu once daily (group B). No differences (P > .05) in foal growth data, or Cu, Zn, and Fe concentrations of mare milk, mare serum, or foal serum were observed. In experiment 2, 6 pregnant mares received the same concentrate as group A (group C), and 8 mares received the same concentrate fortified with 4× the trace mineral premix (group D). Group C mares had higher serum Zn concentration at 1 day (P < 0.01) and 56 days (P < 0.04). Group C mares had higher milk Fe concentration at 28 days (P < .01), and group D mares had higher milk Cu concentration at 56 days (P < .01). Group C foals had higher serum Cu concentration at 14 days (P < .03). The results from this study provide no evidence to indicate that supplementing late gestating and lactating mares with higher dietary trace mineral levels than those recommended currently by NRC has any influence on foal growth and development, or on the Cu, Zn, and Fe concentrations of the mare milk, mare serum, or foal serum.     

Concentrations of strontium,barium, cadmium,copper, zinc,manganese, chromium,antimony, selenium,and lead in the liver and kidneys of dogs according to age,gender, and the occurrence of chronic kidney disease

This study was conducted to measure the concentrations of strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), antimony (Sb), selenium (Se), and lead (Pb) in canine liver, renal cortex, and renal medulla, and the association of these concentrations with age, gender, and occurrence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Tissues from 50 dogs were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Cu, Zn, and Mn levels were highest in the liver followed by the renal cortex and renal medulla. The highest Sr, Cd, and Se concentrations were measured in the renal cortex while lower levels were found in the renal medulla and liver. Female dogs had higher tissue concentrations of Sr (liver and renal medulla), Cd (liver), Zn (liver and renal cortex), Cr (liver, renal cortex, and renal medulla), and Pb (liver) than male animals. Except for Mn and Sb, age-dependent variations were observed for all element concentrations in the canine tissues. Hepatic Cd and Cr concentrations were higher in dogs with CKD. In conclusion, the present results provide new knowledge about the storage of specific elements in canine liver and kidneys, and can be considered important reference data for diagnostic methods and further investigations.

Circular excised skin wounds in the thoracic and metatarsal regions of the dog were studied. A similar sequence of events took place in the two regions although differences did occur due to the different reactions of the tissues which surrounded the wounds. None of the wound cavities became filled with exudate during the early stages of healing. In the thoracic wounds the cavities were largely filled by the swelling and inward movement of adipose tissue. Epithelium first grew on the wound surface in the sector of the wound that was situated in the direction of hair flow. The average time to complete epithelization was similar in both sets of wounds. A zone of alopecia developed around the wounds.
