蛋氨酸限制与补偿对羔羊生长性能及内脏器官发育的影响

本试验旨在研究蛋氨酸限制与补偿对羔羊生长性能及内脏器官发育的影响。选取12对1周龄断奶的湖羊双胞胎公羔羊,采用配对试验设计,每对双胞胎羔羊分别分到2组中。第1阶段,2~8周龄,分别补充[基础代乳粉+0.70%蛋氨酸,基础开食料+0.40%蛋氨酸,对照(control,CON)组]和限制蛋氨酸[基础代乳粉,基础开食料,限制(restriction,RES)组];第2阶段,9~12周龄,2组羔羊饲喂相同的饲粮(基础开食料+0.40%蛋氨酸)。在8和12周龄末,各选取6对双胞胎羔羊进行屠宰,分离内脏器官并称重。结果表明:1)8周龄,RES组的体重显著低于CON组(P0.05);2~8周龄,RES组平均日增重极显著低于CON组(P0.01),而RES组料重比显著高于CON组(P0.05);9~12周龄,2组平均日增重和料重比均无显著差异(P0.05)。2)8周龄,RES组的宰前活重、空体重、胴体重均显著低于CON组(P0.05),但2组间的屠宰率无显著差异(P0.05);12周龄,RES组和CON组宰前活重、空体重、胴体重、屠宰率均无显著差异(P0.05)。3)8和12周龄,2组的各内脏器官在重量、占宰前活重比例均无显著差异(P0.05)。4)8周龄,RES组的瘤胃重量显著低于CON组(P0.05),其余各胃肠道指数均无显著差异(P0.05);12周龄,2组间各胃肠道指数也无显著差异(P0.05)。由此可见,限制饲粮蛋氨酸水平降低了羔羊瘤胃重量、生长性能和屠宰性能,恢复饲粮蛋氨酸水平后,羔羊生长性能及内脏器官发育状况也随之恢复。     

Effect of yeast supplementation on the growth performance of Malpura lambs

Thirty-six Malpura lambs (age?=?58 days; 8.9 kg BW) were equally divided into three groups (N?=?12; six males and six females) to assess the effect of probiotics supplementation on growth, digestibility, rumen fermentation and carcass attributes. The lambs of the control group (CON) were not supplemented with probiotics, while test groups received either Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) or combination of S. cerevisiae and Lactobacillus sporogenes (SCLS) at 1.5 % of concentrate mixture. The lambs were fed ad libitum concentrate mixture and bajra (Pennisetum typhoides) straw in a cafeteria system until 180 days of age. Daily feed intake and weekly live weight changes were recorded. A metabolism trial was conducted on six lambs at 90 days. Rumen fermentation study was conducted at 105 days. At 6 months, all male lambs were slaughtered and carcass characteristics were recorded. Body weight and average daily gain (ADG) were similar among the three groups. The digestibilities of all the nutrients were also similar among the groups, except acid detergent fiber (ADF) digestibility, which was higher (P?=?0.032) in SC and SCLS than the CON. The rumen fluid pH was higher (P?=?0.04) in CON and SC group than SCLS at 0 h while NH₃-N at 8 h sample was higher (P?=?0.031) in SC and SCLS group than the control. Pre-slaughter weight, hot carcass weight and dressing yields were similar. ADF digestibility and rumen fermentation was improved in lambs by probiotic supplementation. However, carcass traits remained unchanged due to probiotics supplementation.     

口感化及颗粒化开食料对早期断奶羔羊生长和胃肠道发育的影响

分析探讨口感化及颗粒化开食料对早期断奶羔羊生长和胃肠道发育的影响。选取新生健康的双羔湖羊公羔42只,随机分为两组,分别饲喂颗粒化和口感化开食料,试验期42 d。两组羔羊21日龄之前的采食量、体重和绝对生长的变化趋势相似。21日龄以后,口感化开食料组羔羊的采食量、体重、绝对生长和相对生长均明显高于颗粒化开食料组,42日龄体重、后两周的采食量及15～21日龄的相对生长率在两组间有显著差异(P < 0.05)。口感化开食料还显著提高(P < 0.05)了羔羊42日龄时的育肥指数、体长指数、胸围指数、管围指数和断奶前的瘤胃质量和瘤胃/胴体。以上结果表明,与颗粒化开食料相比,口感化开食料更有利于羔羊早期断奶前后的瘤胃发育、采食量提高、体重和体尺的发育,但对其他胃室及肠道发育没有影响。     

不同饲喂水平对肉用绵羊生长性能、屠宰性能及器官指数的影响

本文旨在研究不同饲喂水平对20～35 kg杜寒杂交公羔的生长性能、屠宰性能和器官指数的影响.采用单因素完全随机区组试验设计,将21只平均体重为(19.14±2.37)kg公羔随机分为3组,按照自由采食(AL组)、自由采食量的70％(IR70组)和自由采食量的40％(IR40组)3个水平饲喂,每组7只羊,每只羊为1个重复.当AL组的试验羊体重达到35 kg时进行屠宰试验,测定生长性能、屠宰性能及重要内脏器官的重量和发育情况.试验期66 d.结果表明:不同的饲喂水平对净增重、平均日增重和干物质采食量有显著的影响(P＜0.05),生长性能和部分屠宰指标表现为相同的变化规律,即AL组＞IR70组＞IR40组,3组之间差异显著(P＜0.05);屠宰率、净肉率和胴体净肉率组间无显著性差异(P＞0.05);AL组瘤胃重占复胃总重比例最高,为67.08％,与IR70组差异不显著(P＞0.05);肝脏重占宰前活重比例以AL组最高,显著高于IR70和IR40组(P＜0.05).结果提示,饲喂水平对肉用绵羊生长性能、复胃的重量与发育、主要生理器官的发育具有不同程度的影响;本试验结果与NRC( 2007)肉羊的饲养标准有一定的差距.     

Comparison of conventional and organic management conditions on growth performance, carcass characteristics and haematological parameters in Karacabey Merino and Kivircik breeds

Growth performance, carcass characteristics, post-slaughtering and haematological parameters of Kivircik and Karacabey Merino male lambs in conventional and organic management systems were compared. The animals which were weaned at 7 weeks of age were divided into Kivircik conventional, Kivircik organic (KO), Karacabey Merino conventional and Karacabey Merino organic (MO) groups containing 12 lambs each. Fattening was ended when lambs attained 35 kg of live weight. The time to attain the determined fattening weight was significantly different among the groups, and Merino lambs having higher live weight gain were earlier than Kivircik lambs (p?相似文献   

Effects of defaunation on in situ dry matter and nitrogen disappearance in steers and growth of lambs.

Trials were conducted to determine effects of defaunation procedures on protozoal concentrations and in situ nutrient disappearance in steers and to determine effects of defaunation and supplemental protein source on performance of lambs. Four ruminally cannulated steers were isolated from other ruminants and fed a dehydrated alfalfa-cracked corn diet for three periods with four replicates (steers) per period. Treatments were as follows: 1) control (no defaunation), 2) dosing fasted steers for two consecutive days with 40 g dioctyl sulfosuccinate (DSS) and 3) daily feeding of 40 g DSS to defaunated, nonfasted steers. Ten days post-dosing with DSS (treatment 2), three steers were free of protozoa but one steer still had a ruminal concentration of .6 x 10(4) protozoa/ml. Compared to steers prior to defaunation, treating steers for 2 d with DSS decreased (P less than .05) both in situ soybean meal (SBM) N disappearance at 3, 6 and 9 h of incubation and in situ orchardgrass DM disappearance at 24 h of incubation. Feeding 40 g of DSS daily for 10 d was not successful in maintaining the rumen free of protozoa. Thirty crossbred Targhee lambs (avg wt, 25 kg) were defaunated with DSS and allotted by BW and sex to five treatments: 1) defaunated, fish meal supplemented at 9.5% dietary CP (FM-9.5% CP), 2) defaunated, SBM-9.5% CP, 3) refaunated, FM-9.5% CP, 4) refaunated, SBM-9.5% CP and 5) refaunated SBM-12% CP. Defaunated lambs remained free of protozoa during the 56-d performance trial that was initiated 24 d after the defaunation procedure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Effects of animal age and feeding regime on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of intensively fattened lambs. 2. Rumen volume and structure of rumen mucosa

Lambs of the species Merino mutton sheep kept on a perforated floor received, from their 38th day of life, either fattening feed for lambs ad libitum or fattening feed for lambs ad libitum plus chopped dried green fodder ad libitum (quota 17% of the intake of dry matter). At intervals of three weeks 4 lambs of each group were slaughtered from their 40th to their 166th day of life. The determination of the physical rumen volume of one half of the animals did not show significant differences between the two feeding regimes. The rumen volume showed an approximately linear increase (B = 0,84) with the increasing age of the animals. Hyper- and parakeratotic changes of the epithelialis of the rumen were caused by both feeding regimes. They were distinctly stronger and earlier developed in animals which only received fattening feed for lambs. The measuring of the rumen villi showed significantly smaller villi in all age groups of those animals which had taken in dried lucerne green fodder as a supplement.     

丁酸钠对断奶羔羊胃肠道发育的影响

本试验旨在研究丁酸钠对断奶羔羊胃肠道发育的影响。选取24只42日龄的断奶羔羊,随机分成4组,每组6个重复。空白对照组饲喂基础饲粮,抗生素组饲喂在基础饲粮中添加250 mg/kg黄霉素的饲粮,丁酸钠A组和丁酸钠B组分别饲喂在基础饲粮中添加2和3 g/kg包膜丁酸钠的饲粮。各组分别在试验第14天、第28天选取3只羔羊屠宰取样。结果表明:试验第14天时,各组断奶羔羊的瘤胃相对质量和相对容积以及各胃肠道形态指标均无显著差异(P>0.05);试验第28天时,与空白对照组相比,丁酸钠B组瘤胃背囊的肌层厚度,瘤胃腹囊的肌层厚度、乳头高度,十二指肠、空肠和回肠绒毛高度,空肠绒毛表面积以及空肠和回肠绒毛高度/隐窝深度显著增加(P<0.05)。由此可见,在饲粮中添加3 g/kg包膜丁酸钠并持续饲喂28 d可以促进断奶羔羊瘤胃乳头和肌层以及肠道绒毛的生长,增加肠道绒毛高度与隐窝深度的比值,有利于胃肠道的发育。     

早期补饲粉状精料和颗粒料对羔羊生长性能及胃肠道发育的影响

旨在研究断奶前补饲粉状精料和颗粒料对羔羊生长性能及整个胃肠道发育的影响,为颗粒料在幼龄反刍动物上的合理使用提供依据。试验选取18只体重相近、体况良好的新生湖羊(公羔),在其12日龄时与母羊分离,饲喂按一定比例配置好的羊奶粉(羊奶粉:水=1:10)。经过3 d适应期后将其随机分为对照组(control group,n=9)和试验组(treatment group,n=9):对照组羔羊自由采食粉状精料,试验组羔羊自由采食颗粒料。两组羔羊每只每天均给予相同的奶粉量(600 mL·d^-1),所有羔羊自由饮水。试验过程每天记录羔羊采食量,每周于晨饲前称量羔羊体重。羔羊42日龄时颈静脉采血后屠宰采样,称量胃肠道各部位重量,采集胃肠道各部位组织样品进行上皮形态测定。结果显示,与补饲粉状精料相比,补饲颗粒料显著增加羔羊第6周龄(P=0.047)的平均日采食量,显著增加羔羊第4(P=0.030)和第5周龄(P=0.019)的平均日增重。早期补饲颗粒料显著增加第4(P=0.048)、5(P<0.001)和6周龄(P<0.001)的羔羊体重。与补饲粉状精料相比,补饲颗粒料对羔羊胃肠道重量和肠道长度无显著(P>0.05)影响;显著增加羔羊瘤胃乳头的长(P<0.001)、宽(P<0.001)和上皮吸收面积(P=0.038),但对瘤胃上皮乳头个数(P=0.230)无显著影响。通过HE染色观察胃肠道上皮结构,结果显示,与补饲粉状精料相比,补饲颗粒料显著增加了羔羊瘤胃上皮颗粒层厚度(P=0.027),但对瘤胃上皮角质层(P=0.577)、棘基层(P=0.153)和上皮总厚度无显著影响(P=0.486)。补饲颗粒料显著增加了羔羊十二指肠绒毛高度(P<0.001)和绒毛高度与隐窝深度的比值(P<0.001)、显著降低了十二指肠隐窝深度(P=0.010)。补饲颗粒料显著降低了空肠隐窝深度(P=0.010)、对空肠绒毛高度与隐窝深度的比值有增加的趋势(P=0.087),但对空肠绒毛高度无显著影响(P=0.258)。补饲颗粒料显著增加了回肠绒毛高度(P<0.001)和绒毛高度与隐窝深度的比值(P=0.002),但对回肠隐窝深度(P=0.761)无显著影响。两组羔羊盲肠上皮(P=0.266)和结肠上皮(P=0.526)厚度无显著差异。以上结果表明,与补饲粉状精料相比,补饲颗粒料显著促进了羔羊瘤胃上皮和小肠上皮的发育,但对后肠上皮的发育无显著影响。     

葡萄渣对羔羊生产性能、屠宰性能和养分消化代谢的影响

本试验采用单因子完全随机试验设计,选择60只3月龄左右杜寒F₁代公羔进行试验,测定不同水平葡萄渣对羔羊生产性能、屠宰性能和养分消化代谢的影响。本试验设4个饲粮处理组,每个处理15个重复,每个重复一只羊,Ⅰ为基础饲粮,Ⅱ、Ⅲ和Ⅳ处理组为饲粮中分别含有8%,16%和24%的葡萄渣,缩合单宁(condensed tannins,CT)含量分别为0,1.5,3.0和4.5 g/kg。结果表明,Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ组羔羊日采食量、日增重、胴体重、屠宰率和胴体脂肪含量都显著高于Ⅰ组(P＜0.05),N表观存留率极显著高于Ⅰ组(P＜0.01),但Ⅰ组羔羊的酸性洗涤纤维和N表观消化率显著高于Ⅳ组(P＜0.05);Ⅱ组羔羊的饲料转化率显著高于Ⅰ组(P＜0.05),净肉率极显著高于Ⅰ组(P＜0.01)。随着CT含量的增加,羔羊的N、中性洗涤纤维和酸性洗涤纤维表观消化率逐渐降低,N的表观存留率逐渐升高,综合考虑羔羊日增重、饲料转化率、屠宰性能和养分利用率等指标,饲粮中葡萄渣以8%~16%为宜。     

Genetic and environmental effects on carcass characteristics of Southdown x Romney lambs: I. Growth rate, sex, and rearing effects

Carcass data from more than 4,400 Southdown x Romney ewe and wether lambs collected over a 16-yr period were analyzed for the effects of sex, rearing status, and growth rate. Ewe lambs grew more slowly than wethers and had .78 kg less carcass weight at the same age. The carcass weight advantage for wethers was nearly all caused by heavier fat-free weight. Based on fat depths, the fat on ewe lambs was distributed in more anterior and ventral parts of the carcass relative to wether lambs. Lambs reared as twins had 1.73 kg less carcass weight and correspondingly reduced carcass measurements compared with lambs reared as singles. Sex and rearing status interacted for some traits. However, in no case was a significant sex difference reversed in single- and twin-related lambs. Growth rate effects were determined by regressing average change in carcass measurements on average carcass weight gain over a 5-wk period. When carcass weight remained constant over a 5-wk period, fat weight increased by .12 kg, fat-free weight and muscle measurements decreased, and bone lengths increased. For each kilogram of increase in 5-wk carcass weight gain, the marginal increase in fat weight was .41 kg and that of fat-free weight was .59 kg. At the average 5-wk carcass weight gain of 1.4 kg, fat and fat-free gains were As carcass weight gain increased above 1.4 kg, fat-free gain exceeded fat gain.     

Shearing male lambs in the cold season improves the carcass yield without affecting fattening performance

This research was carried out to determine the effects of shearing of different genotypes of male lambs (one from pure Karayaka stock and two from its crossbreed) in winter on bodyweight gain, feed consumtion, feed conversion efficiency, rectal temperature and carcass yield. A total of 21 lambs aged 8 months were allocated randomly to experimental groups according to a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement for shorn and unshorn animals. The lambs were fed grass hay (100 g/lamb/day) and commercial concentrate feed ad libitum during a 54‐day of fattening period. The lambs were shorn in the middle of the experiment (27 days after beginning the trial). The interaction between the shearing treatment × genotype of the studied parameters was found to be insignificant. The shearing process increased the rectal temperature (P < 0.01), hot carcass yield (P < 0.05) and dressing percentage (P < 0.05) and decreased the weight of the edible inner organs (P < 0.01). Some of these parameters were affected by the genotypes. It was concluded that shearing male lambs in the winter can have a beneficial effect on the hot carcass weight and dressing percentage without affecting fattening performance, and the performance of Karayaka lambs and its crossbred male lambs were similar under the conditions of the present study.     

Effects of cimaterol on nitrogen retention and energy utilization in lambs

Fifty-two weaned lambs were used in a comparative slaughter feeding trial and six lambs in a concurrent digestibility trial to investigate the effects of cimaterol on nitrogen retention and energy utilization. Cimaterol (CIM) was administered in the feed at 10 ppm for 90 and 14 d, respectively, in a comparative slaughter feeding trial and in a digestibility trial. No difference was found in dry matter digestibility. Nitrogen retention in the CIM group (739 mg/Wkg.75/d) was greater (P less than .01) than that of the control group (321 mg/Wkg.75/d). This difference was accounted for primarily by reduced nitrogen loss in urine of the CIM group. Cimaterol improved growth rate and feed/gain ratio, although these improvements were only evident during the first 42 d of the 90-d feeding trial. The improvement in growth performance of the CIM group was associated with increased protein gain in the empty body (40.2 g/d, P less than .01) as well as in carcass (26.9 g/d, P less than .01), compared with 30.1 and 14.5 g/d of the control group. Cimaterol decreased (P less than .01) fat gain (91.4 vs 109.9 g/d), total daily energy gain (1.08 vs 1.22 Mcal) and energy gain/kg gain (4.17 vs 5.11 Mcal) compared with the control. Feeding CIM increased (P less than .01) estimated fasting heat production (73 vs 64 Kcal/Wkg.75) and metabolizable energy requirement for maintenance (110.2 vs 92.7 Kcal/Wkg.75) over the control.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Effects of supplemental tallow on rumen ciliated protozoa in feedlot cattle

Ruminal samples were collected at slaughter from 98 steers consuming a high-grain diet and receiving either no fat, or 2, 4, 6, or 8% supplemental tallow. Tallow supplementation tended (P = 0.11) to increase average ciliated protozoan numbers, however, the occurrence of defaunated animals was higher in the 8% fat treatment than in the control group. Entodinium spp. were the only protozoans that survived in all treatments, and total numbers ranged up to 3.2 x 10(6)/g of ruminal contents. Although increasing tallow supplementation induced a defaunating effect in many animals, the response was unpredictable and protozoa occasionally proliferated irrespective of fat level.     

过瘤胃保护甜菜碱和过瘤胃保护胆碱对1～3月龄湖羊生长性能、消化性能、屠宰性能和脂肪沉积的影响

本试验旨在研究过瘤胃保护甜菜碱(RPB)和过瘤胃保护胆碱(RPC)对1~3月龄湖羊生长性能、消化性能、屠宰性能和脂肪沉积的影响。试验选用30只体重相近的1月龄左右的湖羊公羔,随机分成3组,分别为对照组、RPB组和RPC组,每组10只。对照组饲喂基础饲粮,RPB组和RPC组则饲喂在基础饲粮干物质(DM)基础上分别添加2.9 g/kg RPB和2.5 g/kg RPC的试验饲粮。预试期21 d,正试期54 d。结果表明:1)饲粮中添加RPB和RPC对1~3月龄湖羊的平均日增重、平均日采食量和料重比均无显著影响(P0.05),但RPB组、RPC组的平均日增重较对照组分别增加了19.97%和27.75%。2)饲粮中添加RPB和RPC对1~3月龄湖羊的粗蛋白质(CP)、中性洗涤纤维(NDF)、酸性洗涤纤维(ADF)、DM和有机物(OM)的表观消化率均无显著影响(P0.05)。3)饲粮中添加RPB和RPC均可以显著降低1~3月龄湖羊的背膘厚(P0.05),对宰前活重、屠宰率、胴体重、GR值、眼肌面积、腹脂重、肾周脂肪重和肌内脂肪(IMF)含量无显著影响(P0.05),但RPB组和RPC组眼肌面积较对照组分别增加了10.86%和3.16%,IMF含量较对照组分别增加了17.27%和36.36%,肾周脂肪重较对照组分别降低了20.60%和22.67%。综合以上试验结果得出,饲粮中添加2.9 g/kg RPB或2.5 g/kg RPC均可以改善1~3月龄湖羊的脂肪沉积部位和胴体品质,并且从消化性能、生长性能和屠宰性能来看,在满足维持需要的饲粮营养水平下,2种添加剂的作用相当     

Urea utilization in growing lambs. 3. Effect of urea and straw on carcass composition

Subsequent to a growth experiment with intensively fattened lambs the value of the carcasses of 4 animals each from 7 groups was determined. The control groups with mixed fattening feed for lambs and the groups with wheat and barley mixtures containing urea showed higher carcass yields, net gains, fat percentage and padding, dry matter and fat content of the carcass and lower quotas of important cuts as well as a lower crude protein content in the carcass than groups with grain without urea and groups with straw. This is due to the higher weight gains of the first-mentioned groups. There were no significant differences in the carcass characteristics between the animals of the control group and the grain-urea groups. The carcass quality of the male lambs was better than that of the female ones.     

Immunization against cholecystokinin decreases appetite in lambs.

The effects of immunization against cholecystokinin (CCK) on feed intake, weight gain, and carcass characteristics were studied in sheep. Nine wether lambs at 10 wk of age were immunized with a conjugate of sulphated CCK octapeptide and human serum globulin or against human globulin alone. All CCK-immunized lambs produced antibodies, and the average titer 5 wk after the primary immunization was calculated to be sufficient to bind normal circulating levels of CCK. Mean daily feed intakes and BW were similar in the CCK-immunized and the control-immunized groups at the start of treatment, but after immunization, feed intake, appetite, and BW gain were decreased in the CCK-immunized animals. There was no effect on carcass composition or organ growth relative to body growth. It is concluded that the immunization procedure used in this study may have potentiated the actions of CCK rather than neutralizing its action as an appetite regulator.     

Body weight and tissue gain in lambs fed an all-concentrate diet and implanted with trenbolone acetate or grazed on alfalfa

Targhee x Hampshire lambs (average BW 23 +/- 1 kg) were used in two experiments to determine the effects of finishing on concentrate with an anabolic implant or forage grazing after concentrate feeding on growth, organ and viscera weights, and carcass tissue accretion. In Exp. 1 and 2 lambs were penned by sex and assigned for slaughter at initial (23 kg), intermediate (37 kg), or end BW (ewes, 47.7; wethers 50.4 kg). From 23 to 37 kg BW, lambs were fed all-concentrate diets in drylot (DL) or grazed on alfalfa (ALF). Experiment 1 was a 2 x 2 factorial with 28 lambs; factors were wether vs ewe lambs and unimplanted vs DL implanted with trenbolone acetate-estradiol benzoate. There were no differences in organ and viscera weights due to implant status. However, ADG (P < .03) and lean gain (P < .02) were greater for implanted than for unimplanted wethers (507 vs 357 g and 1,314 vs 656 g, respectively). Ewes did not respond to the implant. Fat accretion was not affected by implantation. Experiment 2 was a 2 x 3 factorial with 42 lambs; factors were wether vs ewe lambs and drylot during growing and finishing phases (DL-DL) vs drylot during growing and alfalfa grazing during finishing (DL-ALF) vs alfalfa grazing during growing and finishing phases (ALF-ALF). In Exp. 2, ADG of DL-DL lambs was greater (P < .01) than ADG of DL-ALF or ALF-ALF lambs. Lambs on ALF-ALF had smaller (P < .05) livers and rumen/reticulum weights but heavier (P < .04) kidney, omasum, small and large intestine, and cecum weights than those on DL. In Exp. 2, DL-ALF and ALF-ALF lambs had overall hindsaddle lean gain equal to those on DL-DL with less mesenteric fat and 100 g less separable fat. Finishing lambs on alfalfa reduced fat accretion without decreasing lean accretion, whereas trenbolone acetate implants for lambs fed concentrate increased BW gain and lean accretion without affecting fat accretion.     

饲粮纤维水平对育肥羔羊瘤胃微生物组成及多样性的影响

试验旨在研究提高饲粮纤维水平对育肥羔羊瘤胃微生物组成及多样性的影响。试验选择健康无病、体重相近的2月龄杜湖杂交公羔,按照体重随机分为2组,每组38只,分别饲喂不同的饲粮,对照组（LW_CK）饲粮为精料+苜蓿,处理组（LW_EG）为精料+苜蓿+全株玉米青贮+花生秧;试验期150 d,其中预试期20 d,正试期130 d,试验结束后,每组随机选择5只羔羊屠宰取瘤胃内容物,通过16S rDNA高通量测序技术分析其微生物多样性及结构变化。结果表明,处理组羔羊瘤胃中细菌多样性显著高于对照组（P<0.05）。在门水平上,处理组羔羊瘤胃中优势菌门为拟杆菌门（Bacteroidetes）和厚壁菌门（Firmicutes）,对照组优势菌门为拟杆菌门和变形菌门（Proteobacteria）。提高纤维水平后显著增加了育肥羔羊瘤胃中厚壁菌门的相对丰度（P<0.05）;显著降低了变形菌门的相对丰度（P<0.05）。在属水平上,对照组与处理组羔羊瘤胃菌群共鉴定出195个属,处理组优势菌属为普雷沃氏菌属（Prevotella_1）和解琥珀酸菌属（Succiniclasticum）,对照组优势菌属为琥珀酸弧菌属（Succinivibrionaceae）和普雷沃氏菌属（Prevotella_7）。提高饲粮纤维水平,增加了育肥羔羊瘤胃中解琥珀酸弧菌属、密螺旋体属（Treponema_2）、疣微菌属（Ruminococcaceae）、月形单胞菌属（Selenomonas_1）的相对丰度,显著降低了琥珀酸弧菌属相对丰度（P<0.05）。综上所述,适量提高饲粮中纤维水平对育肥羔羊瘤胃微生物菌群结构有一定影响,能够促进部分纤维降解菌的增殖,有利于育肥羔羊的瘤胃发酵和养分消化利用。     

Growth and carcass characteristics and serum growth hormone, prolactin and insulin profiles in Debouillet lambs treated with ovine growth hormone and(or) zeranol

Sixteen Debouillet wether lambs (approximately 3 mo old) were placed indoors in 1.5- x 3-m pens (14 h light:10 h dark) 28 d after weaning. Lambs received no implant or a 12-mg zeranol implant on d-2 (eight lambs/group). Two days later (d 0), animals received either 0 or 2.5 mg ovine growth hormone (oGH, eight lambs/group) s.c. on alternate days for 42 d. Animals had ad libitum access to water, salt, mineral and a pelleted alfalfa diet (16% CP). After 42 d, lambs were slaughtered to evaluate carcass traits, organ weights and femur characteristics. Zeranol by oGH interactions were not detected (P greater than .20). Zeranol increased (P less than .05) BW, improved (P less than .05) feed:gain during the first 20 d and increased (P less than .10) feed intake during the last 22 d of the 42-d trial compared with controls. Carcass characteristics were not altered (P greater than .10) by 12 mg zeranol. Serum insulin and prolactin were elevated (P less than .05), but serum GH was not influenced by zeranol compared with controls. Exogenous oGH decreased feed intake (P less than .10) and improved feed:gain (P less than .05) during the initial 20 d compared with controls, but did not influence (P greater than .20) these variables during the last 22 d of the study. Carcass traits were not influenced (P greater than .10) by oGH. Exogenous ovine GH dramatically elevated (P less than .05) serum GH, but did not affect serum insulin or prolactin (P greater than .10).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
