Summarizing the Development of China＇s Feed Industry in First 10-Year-Period and Looking to the Future of New Century

The Golden Age of Leapforward Development of China＇s Feed Industry
During the first ten-year period of national 11th and 12th Fiver-yearplan in the 21st Century, of which the key characteristics were as follows： After relentless efforts, China joined into WTO in 2001, which was the significant turning point of China in its deepening reform and opening-door policy as well as being integrated into the global economy,     

China＇s Feed Output will be Up to 250 Million Ton in 2020

General Manager of Feed Department of COFCO, Vice-President of China Association, Liu Xiaoyu, states that the feed output in China will be over 150 million ton this year and the rigid demand for corn will also increase with it. This may rise up corn＇s price, and the growth will be greater and greater. News from Media, on Oct. 19, 2010.     

The Effects of Size-fractionated Fish Hydrolysate in the Diet on Growth,and Feed Utilization of Turbot （Scophthalmus maximus）

Four experimental diets were fed to turbet to examine the effect of fish bydrolyside and ultra filtered fish hydrolysafe on growth performate feed utilization and growth regulation using diets low in dietary fish meal inclusion. Diets A, B contained 3.7%,1.2% fish hydrolysate to replace fish meal respectively and the fish hydrolysate in two diets was ultra filtered to keep low molecular weight compounds. The diets A,     

Correlations Analysis between Polymorphism of 3’-UTR in MSTN Gene and Slaughter Traits of China Red Steppe

In order to study the effect of myostatin (MSTN) gene on the meat performance of Local Yellow cattle in China,selecting 2 Local cattle breeds (Grassland Red bull,Yanbian cattle) as the research object,four binary hybrid cattle group (Germany Yellow cattle×Simmental,Limousin×Simmental,Charolais×Simmental and Red Angus×Simmental) as reference.PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing methods were conducted to detect single nucleotide polymorphism of MSTN gene in two Chinese native cattle and four cross cattle,and analyzed the correlations between single nucleotide polymorphism of China Red Steppe MSTN gene and slaughter traits.The sequence analysis showed that there was no mutations in the MSTN gene exon 3,a C5358A mutation of 3'-UTR of MSTN gene was found,which made the AclⅠrestriction enzyme site disappeared,all cattle groups showed polymorphism which was formed two genes as A,C, and 3 genotypes as AA,CA and CC, respectively.The research results suggested that AA genotype in groups of four hybrid cattle had dominant advantage and the genotype frequency was apparently higher than two groups of Chinese Native cattle for the test of independence,allele A was expressed the preferential allelic,the frequencies of CA,CC and AA genotypes showed a little variation between two cross cattle and Native cattle,and the frequency of allele C was apparently higher than allele A,so allele C was designed the preferential allelic in the local population.While correlations between different genotypes of China Red Steppe and slaughter traits analysis showed that AA genotype individual net meat percentage and eye muscle area were significantly higher than CA and CC genotype individuals (P<0.05),but other slaughter straits had no significant differences in three genotypes(P>0.05).These results provided a useful reference for research of the meat performance of China Red Steppe in the molecular breeding field.     

The Analysis for the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism of TGF-β1 and Its Association with Reproduction in Different Sheep Breeds

A single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)of 805 bp region in the intron 6 of transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1)gene was identified by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand composition polymorphism(PCR-SSCP)in 196 sheep among Small-tailed Han sheep,Tong sheep,Tan sheep and Oula sheep.Comparative sequence analysis of cloned products revealed an AGAC deletion at 294 bases upstream of exon 7 of the TGF-β1 gene(site 14201 in gi76871756).Statistical results of the genotype and allele frequencies in different breeds showed that genotype AB was dominant in the Small-tailed Han sheep.Genotype BB,however,was in majority in low-fecundity sheep.The results of a Chi-square test indicated that all the populations were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
