辣椒主要病害抗性的配合力分析

本文用6个亲本,按(1/2)n(n-1)双列杂交法配制15个杂交组合,对辣椒TMV、CMV、疫病、疮痂病抗性进行了配合力分析。结果表明,不同亲本、不同病害抗性的一般配合力效应和不同杂交组合的特殊配合力效应差异较大,疫病抗性显性方差所占份量较大,加性方差所占的份量较小;CMV和疮痂病抗性是加性方差所占份量较大,显性方差所占份量相对较小;TMV抗性介于二者之间。不同病害抗性间所有一般配合力的相关系数均未达到显著水平;特殊配合力是CMV与疮痂病阃的相关达到了极显著水平,TMV与CMV间和疫病与疮痂病间的相关系数达到显著水平。     

Effect of different patterns of food restriction from different ages on growth and efficiency of broilers

1. The effect of restricted feeding on performance and carcass characteristics of broilers was determined in three experiments.

2. In the first experiment, removal of food for 8 h/d from 42 to 56 d of age significantly improved food conversion efficiency of broilers on deep litter. Removal of food for 16 h/d or on alternate days tended to cause slower growth and also improved conversion efficiency.

3. In the second experiment, denial of food for 8 h/d did not significantly affect either growth rate or conversion efficiency of caged broilers. Denial of food on alternate days, from 28 d of age, depressed food intake and growth rate. Food restriction decreased dressing percentage regardless of the age of introduction. With 32, 40 or 48 h food denial each 72 h there was a large depression in growth rate and dressing percentage. Carcass dry matter was also less, indicating less carcass fat, when food was denied for 48 h each 72 h.

4. In the third experiment, growth rate of broilers on deep litter was significantly improved by denying food for 8 h/d from 28 d of age, and was significantly depressed by food denial on alternate days. This depression was significantly more severe if restriction started at 28 d rather than at 42 d of age. Conversion efficiency was not significantly improved by denial for 8 h/d.

5. In the last two experiments conversion efficiency was much worse in severe restriction.     

Rapeseed meals in broiler diets: Effect on performance and sensory evaluation of carcasses

1. The effect of including rapeseed meal (RSM) in lieu of soyabean meal in broiler diets was determined.

2. Live‐weight gains, from 8 to 63 d, were depressed when the diet contained 150 g RSM/kg and there was a highly significant negative correlation between weight gain and inclusion rate of RSM over this period.

3. The efficiency of food utilisation was worse when the diet included 150 g solvent RSM/kg than when it contained no RSM: food efficiency was consistently poorer whenever RSM was included in the diet but the difference was significant only when the diet contained 10 g tallow/kg.

4. Carcasses from birds fed on diets containing 10 g tallow/kg had a better appearance than those from birds on diets containing 30 g tallow/kg, while the flavour of meat from birds fed on a diet containing 150 g solvent RSM/kg treatment was adversely affected. However, up to 100 g solvent RSM/kg may be included in broiler diets without affecting appearance, taste, texture or acceptability of the meat.

5. Inclusion of 50 g or more, solvent RSM/kg reduced growth rate and worsened food efficiency.     

海藻肥对黄瓜种子萌发盐胁迫伤害的缓解作用

盐胁迫会破坏种子细胞的结构和功能,导致代谢紊乱,活力降低乃至失去活力。李庭红认为在15g·L-1NaCl盐胁迫下,黄瓜种子的发芽率一般为50%-60%。前人曾以乙烯利、矮壮素、水杨酸等溶液浸种的方法缓解盐胁迫对萌发种子的伤害,但成本高,操作繁琐,效果也不尽理想。海藻肥是一种从海藻中提取的天然生长调节     

肉用禽育种中应使用的主要屠宰性状指标的探讨

通过对不同周龄、品种的肉鸡、肉鸭屠宰数据进行分析,发现体重、屠宰重、全净膛重、半净膛重、胴体重这几个指标之间呈高度相关(R＞0.94,P＜0.0001),说明可以把这几个指标合并为一个指标,考虑到育种公司测定的实际需求,建议用屠宰重代替全净膛重、半净膛重.由于腿肌重与腿重呈显著相关,用腿重来代替腿肌重,可以大幅度简化育种工作,提高育种效率.本研究认为可以用宰前体重、腿重、胸肌重、腹脂重作为肉用禽屠宰测定的主要指标,为了计算相关的率,可以考虑测量屠宰重指标.     

营养补偿初期苏尼特母羊对NDF、ADF消化能力的研究

将45只处于妊娠后期(90～150d)的苏尼特母羊随机分成4组,以不同的营养水平(代谢能:0.20、0.33、0.44、0.86MJ/kgW0.75·d)分组饲养,分娩后进行补偿生长试验,研究妊娠后期不同营养限制程度的母羊在补偿初期(分娩后0～6周)对中性洗涤纤维(NDF)、酸性洗涤纤维(ADF)消化率的影响。结果表明:在补偿初期,各组母羊对ADF、NDF的消化率随着营养限制程度的增强而下降。

Dermatophagoides farinae-specific IgG subclass responses in atopic dogs undergoing allergen-specific immunotherapy

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is thought to be caused by immunologic abnormalities expressed as a Th1/Th2 cytokine imbalance in both humans and dogs. Several studies have focused on the therapeutic effects of IFNγ in human AD with successful results; however, the mechanism of action of IFNγ is not fully understood. We investigated the effect of recombinant canine interferon gamma (rCaIFNγ) on 10 dogs with AD and evaluated the ratio of IL-4 mRNA to IFNγ mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, serum total IgE levels, and histological changes in skin. After six injections of rCaIFNγ over a span of 2 weeks, seven of the 10 dogs showed improvement, and six of these seven dogs exhibited decreased IL-4:IFNγ mRNA ratios. Two of the three cases that did not improve had increased IL-4:IFNγ mRNA ratios. Total serum IgE levels were significantly decreased in nine of 10 cases. The number of IgE-positive cells detected by immunostaining and the number of mast cells in skin biopsy samples were decreased. A reduction of epidermal cell layers was demonstrated by histopathology after treatment. These results demonstrated that rCaIFNγ may be a novel safe and effective therapeutic option for the treatment of canine AD, and the mechanism of action of rCaIFNγ may be related to the modulation of Th2 cytokines to Th1 cytokines with the reduction of serum IgE production.
