全犬种比赛的奖项和评审

在本刊第6期中介绍了AKC比赛的犬种分组，在此基础上可以进一步了解赛制中的奖项设置和评审标准。虽然在国内的全犬种比赛中还没有统一的赛制规则，但基本上是在沿用AKC赛制的基础上略加变化。

Effects of guanidinoacetic acid on growth performance,creatine metabolism and plasma amino acid profile in broilers

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) on growth performance, creatine deposition and blood amino acid (AA) profile on broiler chickens. In Exp. 1, a total of 540 one‐day‐old Arbor Acres male broilers (average initial body weight, 45.23 ± 0.35 g) were divided randomly into five treatments with six replicates of 18 chicks each. Broilers were fed corn–soybean meal‐basal diets supplemented with 0, 600, 800, 1,000 or 1,200 mg/kg GAA for 42 days respectively. Results showed that dietary GAA inclusion increased average daily gain (ADG) and improved gain‐to‐feed ratio (G:F) from 1 to 42 days (p < 0.01). However, average daily feed intake was unaffected by dietary supplementation of GAA. As GAA inclusion increased, the contents of creatine in plasma and kidney were increased (linear, p < 0.01), while the contents of GAA and creatine in liver were decreased (linear, p < 0.01). Similarly, GAA supplementation was inversely related to concentrations of most essential AA in plasma. In Exp. 2, a total of 432 one‐day‐old Arbor Acres male broilers (average initial body weight, 39.78 ± 0.58 g) were divided randomly into four treatments with six replicates of 18 chicks each. Birds were fed a corn–soybean meal‐basal diet supplemented with 0, 200, 400 or 600 mg/kg GAA for 42 days respectively. Dietary inclusion of 600 mg/kg GAA significantly increased ADG and G:F of broilers (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of 600–1,200 mg/kg GAA can effectively improve the growth performance in broiler chickens by affecting creatine metabolism and utilization efficiency of essential AA, and 600 mg/kg GAA is the minimum dose for improving performance.     

Performance Evaluation of the ADS 1000 Ventilator Using a Lung Model

A laboratory evaluation was performed to evaluate the performance characteristics of a new veterinary ventilator. The ventilator studied was configured according to manufacturer's directions and attached to a test lung via a pneumotachograph and differential pressure transducer interfaced to a pulmonary mechanics analyzer system. Constant resistance (R=10 cm H₂O/L/sec) and compliance (C=3 ml/cm H₂O) factors were maintained for all trials. The ventilator operated at the manufacturer's preprogrammed parameters. In the first trial, body weight was the only variable. In the second trial, an endotracheal tube was placed in series between the ventilator's breathing circuit and the pneumotachograph. Body weights from 1–20 kgs were evaluated. Mean values for respiratory rate (RR), minute ventilation (VE), inspiratory time (Ti), peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), and peak inspiratory flow (Fpki) displayed on the ventilator control panel; tidal volume (VT), calculated from the displayed minute volume, and identical parameters measured by the pulmonary mechanics system at each body weight, were compared using a two factor analysis of variance. Significant differences (P< 0.05) were found between mean displayed and measured values for RR, PIP, and Fpki.     

4株鸡传染性法氏囊病病毒VP2基因序列分析

试验从发病鸡场分离获得4株鸡传染性法氏囊病病毒（infectious bursal disease virus,IBDV）,分别为河北株（HB）、湖北株（HUB）、山东株（SD）、山西株（SX）。通过特异性引物扩增VP2基因并进行测序,序列分析结果显示,4株病毒中,HUB、SD和SX的七肽区为S-W-S-A-S-G-S（aa 326S-332S）,其222（A）、256（I）、294（I）和299（S）位是传染性法氏囊病病毒超强毒株（vvIBDV）的4个特征性氨基酸,确定这3株病毒均为超强毒株;而HB株七肽区为S-W-S-A-R-G-S（aa 326S-332S）,其222（P）、256（V）、294（L）和299（N）位氨基酸显示该毒株属于弱毒株。进化树分析结果显示,HUB、SD和SX 3株病毒与2011年中国分离的大部分IBDV毒株亲缘关系较近,同源性在96%以上,同时与经典毒株Cro-Po/00、超强毒株GX和UK661亲缘关系很近;而HB株与减毒疫苗株D78株和B87株的亲缘关系近。本试验结果表明,IBDV目前在中国流行呈混发型,但以超强毒株为主。     

伊维菌素微乳无菌检查方法学的研究

本试验旨在对伊维菌素微乳制剂进行无菌检查方法学验证和无菌检查试验,确认本试验所用的方法适用于该制剂的无菌检查。按《中国兽药典》2005版一部(附录118)所载"无菌检查法"项下进行试验,通过对阳性对照菌、不同量冲洗液等条件的选择,采用薄膜过滤法对10瓶供试品(每种试验菌的样品量)进行检测,建立了无菌检查方法。经方法验证,用400mL 0.1%蛋白胨水溶液冲洗后,含供试品容器中的7个阳性菌试验组与阳性菌对照组相比均生长良好,说明供试品的该检验量在该检验条件下无抑菌作用或其抑菌作用可以忽略不计,可以用该方法进行供试品的无菌检查。对3批供试品进行无菌检查,阳性对照菌均在24h内生长良好,阴性对照均澄清,无菌生长,3批供试品均澄清,无菌生长,无菌检查试验结果符合规定。     

鸭茅重要种质DUS测试及农艺性状评价筛选

以我国主栽的32个鸭茅品种(系)为研究对象,对其开展了DUS测试,并基于农艺性状进行了综合评价筛选,以期筛选出适合我国南方及长江流域地区生长的优质鸭茅种质资源。结果表明:供试鸭茅品种(系)可根据其物候期的差异,主要分为早、中、晚熟3种类型,生育期介于230~307d。各供试鸭茅品种(系)在抗锈病、越夏率、生长速度、草产量、茎叶比、鲜干比、分蘖数等均差异明显,呈现出不同程度的群体差异,以‘滇北’、‘01472’、‘Cristobal’、‘宝兴’、‘波特’等表现较为突出。供试14个DUS性状在各鸭茅间表达程度各不相同,可用于区分供试鸭茅品种(系),并得出关于鸭茅产量、抗性及品质的供试种质综合排序,最终筛选出17份表现较为优异的鸭茅资源。     

苜蓿皂甙对断奶仔猪生长性能和抗氧化性能的影响

为探讨苜蓿(Medicago sativa)皂甙对断奶仔猪生长性能和抗氧化性能的影响,选用72头体重7.5 kg左右的"杜×长×大"三元杂交断奶仔猪进行研究。试验随机分为4组:基础日粮组(C)、基础日粮添加0.5%苜蓿皂甙组(T1)、基础日粮添加1%苜蓿皂甙组(T2)和基础日粮添加2%苜蓿皂甙组(T3),每组3个重复,每个重复6头猪(公母各3头)。结果表明:苜蓿皂甙可以显著提高断奶仔猪的日增重(P<0.05),降低料重比,以T2组(1%苜蓿皂甙)效果最好;苜蓿皂甙可以显著提高断奶仔猪血清和组织中谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-PX)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)的活性(P<0.05),降低丙二醛(MDA)的含量(P<0.05),而且随着苜蓿皂甙水平的增加,仔猪血清和组织中GSH-PX,SOD的活性呈升高趋势,MDA的含量呈下降趋势。因此,在断奶仔猪日粮中添加苜蓿皂甙可以提高其抗氧化能力,促进其生长。

沛县鸭传染性浆膜炎的病原分离鉴定及药敏试验

收集沛县具有典型鸭传染性浆膜炎症状的34份病死鸭进行细菌的分离培养。总共得到18株疑似鸭疫里默氏杆菌（RA）,从中随机选取10株RA进行生化鉴定及动物回归试验,经确认后使用本地区常见的抗菌药进行了纸片法药敏试验,结果发现RA分离菌株对头孢噻肟、氧氟沙星、阿莫西林＋棒酸等药物敏感度较好,对氟苯尼考、丁胺卡那、阿奇霉素等药物敏感度很低。研究结果为该地区鸭传染性浆膜炎的药物防治提供了很好的理论依据。
