绵芪栽培技术

黄芪为豆科多年生药用植物,分布于我国北方山区或半山区。黄芪以根入药,其药理作用为增加机体耗氧量,加强心脏收缩,对心力衰竭有强心作用,并对体虚盗汗、慢性肾炎、脑血栓、疮口久不愈合、胃下垂和子宫突出有良好的治疗作用。绵黄芪即指现在介休市绵山地区的黄芪,品质上佳,故中     

生物碳对粮油作物生长影响的研究

近些年,用生物碳对土壤进行改良已成为全球关注的热点之一.国际生物碳联盟将生物碳定义为在缺氧环境中的一种通过热裂解得到的固体材料.生物碳有很多优良特性例如:含碳量高、比表面积大、孔隙结构丰富、PH高、具有较强的氧离子交换能力及理化性质稳定等,目前已成为农业、林业、环境及能源领域关注和研究的热点.由生物体高温碳化所得到的产...     

梯级小水电站优化调度关键因素的筛选

云南省小水电资源丰富,其中梯级小水电站在整个小水电发电量中比重较大,这些梯级小水电站都是日调节水电站,在流域梯级水库优化调度方面与常见的由较大调节能力龙头电站控制的梯级水电站存在明显差异,难以采用传统梯级水电站的算法模型实现水库的优化调度.针对这一问题,在日调节梯级水电站优化调度研究背景的基础上,讨论了多要素梯级调度图...     

The effects of increasing sodium chloride concentration on Mycoplasma gallisepticum vaccine survival in solution

Lyophilized Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) vaccines are generally rehydrated and diluted with distilled or chlorine-free water as per manufacturer recommendations. However, as mycoplasma species lack a cell wall, this can lead to decreased viability of live vaccine during administration. The ability of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to prevent losses in live vaccine viability was examined. It was shown that a concentration of 1 x PBS prevented the two-fourfold decrease in MG viability seen when the vaccines were diluted with water alone.     

A new single nucleotide polymorphism in CAPN1 extends the current tenderness marker test to include cattle of Bos indicus, Bos taurus, and crossbred descent

The three objectives of this study were to 1) test for the existence of beef tenderness markers in the CAPN1 gene segregating in Brahman cattle; 2) test existing CAPN1 tenderness markers in indicus-influenced crossbred cattle; and 3) produce a revised marker system for use in cattle of all subspecies backgrounds. Previously, two SNP in the CAPN1 gene have been described that could be used to guide selection in Bos taurus cattle (designated Markers 316 and 530), but neither marker segregates at high frequency in Brahman cattle. In this study, we examined three additional SNP in CAPN1 to determine whether variation in this gene could be associated with tenderness in a large, multisire American Brahman population. One marker (termed 4751) was associated with shear force on postmortem d 7 (P < 0.01), 14 (P = 0.015), and 21 (P < 0.001) in this population, demonstrating that genetic variation important for tenderness segregates in Bos indicus cattle at or near CAPN1. Marker 4751 also was associated with shear force (P < 0.01) in the same large, multisire population of cattle of strictly Bos taurus descent that was used to develop the previously reported SNP (referred to as the Germplasm Evaluation [GPE] Cycle 7 population), indicating the possibility that one marker could have wide applicability in cattle of all subspecies backgrounds. To test this hypothesis, Marker 4751 was tested in a third large, multisire cattle population of crossbred subspecies descent (including sire breeds of Brangus, Beefmaster, Bonsmara, Romosinuano, Hereford, and Angus referred to as the GPE Cycle 8 population). The highly significant association of Marker 4751 with shear force in this population (P < 0.001) confirms the usefulness of Marker 4751 in cattle of all subspecies backgrounds, including Bos taurus, Bos indicus, and crossbred descent. This wide applicability adds substantial value over previously released Markers 316 and 530. However, Marker 316, which had previously been shown to be associated with tenderness in the GPE Cycle 7 population, also was highly associated with shear force in the GPE Cycle 8 animals (P < 0.001). Thus, Marker 316 may continue to be useful in a variety of populations with a high percentage of Bos taurus backgrounds. An optimal marker strategy for CAPN1 in many cases will be to use both Markers 316 and 4751.     

索氏脂肪提取器测定粗脂肪时应注意的问题

饲料中粗脂肪测定是常规测定中非常重要的项目。用索氏脂肪提取器测定粗脂肪是最常用方法之一。目前在许多基层饲料厂使用相当频繁。但在使用中需要注意的方面很多。笔者在省饲料所工作多年,每年都要做许多这方面的工作,有一些体会在此与大家交流。
