通过营养和饲喂手段减少氮和磷的排出

在过去的几十年里,畜牧业生产方式发生了巨大的变化.特别是家禽、生猪和奶牛业的集约化程度越来越高,这导致了畜牧业经营规模不断扩大,而畜牧业经营场家数量却在逐渐减少.     

犬胆道感染的诊断与防治

胆道感染是胆道系统急、慢性炎症的总称.病犬以腹痛为主要特征,同时伴严重的全身反应.胆道感染引起的剧烈疼痛常可导致病犬虚脱,甚至休克.因此,解痉镇痛、疼痛管理是治疗的该病的关键.文章对该病的发病原因、临床特征、诊断与防治方法、应急处理及分级镇痛技术进行阐述,以期为犬胆道感染的诊断与防治提供参考.     

腐植酸天然植物生长素调节剂

腐植酸植物生长素可以由内源和外在二种形式存在。本文着重介绍了国内外研究者通过毛细管电泳、色谱、质谱和核磁共振等表征技术,证实了腐植酸天然植物生长调节剂中存在吲哚酸、赤霉素和萘乙酸、水杨酸等典型植物生长素;对促进环境友好的腐植酸类植物生长调节剂的产业化发展有着十分重要的现实意义。     

粗甘油对生长猪生长性能、胴体性状及肉品的影响

通过一个为期138d的饲养试验来测定日粮中粗甘油对生长猪的生长性能,胴体性状,肉质指标和组织结构的影响。本试验使用的粗甘油包含84．51％甘油、11．95％水、2．91％氯化钠和0．32％甲醇。试验选用断奶8天后的仔猪共96头（48头公猪和48头母猪,平均体重为7．9±0．4kg）,按试验开始时的性别和体重分配到24个栏中（4头／栏）。日粮处理为玉米-豆粕型,

荔枝果皮的褐变

荔枝果皮的褐变一直是商业上的一个主要采后问题。大多数人认为褐变是由于果实失水后多酚氧化酶(PPO)活性增加引起的,它导致了花青苷的迅速降解,使果变褐。然而,支持此理论的实验证据很少。最近,澳大利亚和以色列着重研究果皮液泡的PH值对花青苷颜色和稳定性的影响。本文综述了研究荔枝果皮褐变的方法,并针对目前流行的PPO引起花青苷降解的理论提出一些疑问。     

Fibroblast growth factor 21 in dairy cows:current knowledge and potential relevanceOA

Fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF21) has been identified as an important regulator of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, which plays an important role for metabolic regulation, particularly under conditions of energy deprivation or stress conditions. Dairy cows are subjected to a negative energy balance and various kinds of stress particularly during the periparturient phase and during early lactation. It has been shown that the plasma concentration of FGF21 in dairy cows is dramatically increased...     

Starchy and fibrous feedstuffs differ in their in vitro digestibility and fermentation characteristics and differently modulate gut microbiota of swineOA

Background: Alternative feedstuffs may contribute to reducing feed costs of pig production. But these feedstuffs are typically rich in fiber and resistant starch(RS). Dietary fibers and RS are fermented in the gastrointestinal tract(GIT) and modulate the microbial community. Certain microbes in the GIT can promote host health, depending on the type of fermentation substrates available. In this study, six alternative feedstuffs(three starchy: Okinawan sweet potato, OSP; yam, and taro, and three f...     

Inhibiting nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2-mediated autophagy in bovine mammary epithelial cells induces oxidative stress in response to exogenous fatty acidsOA

Background: In early lactation, bovine mammary epithelial cells undergo serious metabolic challenges and oxidative stress both of which could be alleviated by activation of autophagy. Nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2(NFE2L2), a master regulator of cellular redox homeostasis, plays an important role in the regulation of autophagy and oxidative stress. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the role of NFE2L2-mediated autophagy on oxidative stress of bovine mammary epithel...     

Insects as alternative feed for ruminants:comparison of protein evaluation methodsOA

Background: The high dependence of intensive ruminant production on soybean meal and the environmental impact of this crop encourage the search for alternative protein-rich feeds. The use of insects seems promising, but the extent of their ruminal protein degradation is largely unknown. This parameter has major influence not only on N utilization efficiency but also on the environmental burden of ruminant farming. In addition, although assessing ruminal N degradation represents a key first step ...
