A novel 31-bp indel in the paired box 7 (PAX7) gene is associated with chicken performance traits

1. A novel 31-bp indel polymorphism in intron 3 of the chicken paired box 7 (PAX7) gene was identified and genotyped in an F₂ resource population of Gushi chicken crossed with Anka broiler to analyse its associations with chicken growth, carcass and meat quality traits.

2. Results showed that the 31-bp indel was significantly associated with body weight at 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 weeks of age and body size indices including shank length, shank girth, body slanting length at 8 and 12 weeks of age. Significant associations were found for carcass weight, semi-evisceration weight, evisceration weight, breast muscle fibre diameter, leg muscle fibre diameter, breast muscle fibre density, while no significant association with leg muscle fibre density was observed.

3. It was concluded that the 31-bp indel in intron 3 of the PAX7 gene was associated with chicken growth, carcass and meat quality traits where the 31-bp deletion had a negative effect on chicken growth and carcass traits and positive effect on meat quality traits.     

Influence of different copper and zinc supply on their concentrations in blood serum, liver and hair of dairy cows

In a feeding trial at the Institute of Animal Nutrition of the Federal Research Institute of Animal Health (FLI) over 12 weeks with 20 cows of the German Holstein Breed the influence of different copper and zinc contents in the ration on their concentration in blood serum, liver and hair was tested. All animals received a diet based on maize- and grass silage ad libitum. The animals were divided in two groups with 10 cows each; group A received a concentrate according to their milk yield with a copper and zinc content as recommended (GfE 2001), whereas group B was offered a concentrate with roughly the double amount of copper and zinc. At the beginning and at the end of the trial a sample of blood, pigmented hair and a liver bioptate was taken from all animals to evaluate the incorporation of copper and zinc in these tissues. In serum and pigmented hair the copper concentrations did not differ between the two groups [13.4 for Group A and 12.5 micromol/L for Group B in serum respectively 6.8 (Group A) and 7.4 mg/kg DM (Group B) in pigmented hair]. Only the copper concentration in the liver was influenced by the different feeding. The higher copper content for group B resulted in a significantly higher copper concentration in the liver (506 mg/kg DM compared to 383 mg/kg DM). The liver is the best indicator organ for a sufficient copper supply. An increase in the zinc content in the ration resulted neither in higher zinc concentrations in serum (15.1 in Group B in comparison to 13.4 micromol/L for Group A) nor in higher zinc concentrations in liver (140 for Group B and 112 mg/kg DM for Group A) and pigmented hair (130 in Group A and 123 mg/kg DM in Group B). There is a significant correlation between copper intake and copper concentration in the liver (r = 0.46), whereas the correlation between zinc intake and zinc concentration in the liver is only tendencially (r = 0.23). The three tested samples serum, liver and cow hair are not qualified to reflect exactly a sufficient zinc supply.     

旋毛虫不同发育时期排泄分泌物抗原在免疫学诊断中的应用研究

[目的]系统了解并比较旋毛虫不同发育时期排泄分泌物(ES)抗原的免疫学特性,探索可用于临床检测出栏猪旋毛虫感染的血清学诊断技术。[方法]分别以旋毛虫肠道期10 h肌幼虫(10 h ML)、肠道期30 h成虫(30 h Ad)、3 d成虫(Ad3)、6 d成虫与新生幼虫混合(Ad6+NBL)以及肌幼虫(ML)五个不同发育时期的ES作为包被抗原,应用ELISA方法,检测感染不同剂量、不同天数的猪血清中的抗旋毛虫抗体Ig M和Ig G水平,绘制抗体消长规律曲线并进行数据分析。[结果]10 h ML ES和ML ES作为包被抗原适合检测不同感染剂量、感染35 d之前的猪抗旋毛虫Ig M抗体,低剂量感染10 d左右可以检出,高剂量感染5 d也可以检出;Ad3 ES作为包被抗原对高剂量感染35 d之前的猪抗旋毛虫Ig M抗体检测敏感;Ad3和ML的ES作为包被抗原可检测不同剂量、感染35 d之后的猪抗旋毛虫Ig G抗体,其中Ad3 ES抗原检测低剂量感染的效果优于ML ES抗原。[结论]肠道期肌幼虫、成虫和肌幼虫的ES抗原可用于检测旋毛虫的早期感染,成虫和肌幼虫的ES抗原可用于检测出栏猪的旋毛虫感染。本研究为进一步合理有效利用旋毛虫不同发育时期的ES抗原,建立更有效的检测屠宰动物旋毛虫感染的方法提供了重要理论基础和参考。     

PEG胁迫下新疆地区狗牙根种子的萌发特性

为了解狗牙根(Cynodon dactylon)种质芽期抗旱性强弱,并筛选出适宜鉴定抗旱性的PEG浓度,分别对6份狗牙根种子在0、7.5%、15.0%、22.5%、30.0%PEG(质量比)胁迫下的发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数、胚芽长、胚根长、根芽比、苗重进行测定,并采用隶属函数法对其抗旱性进行了综合评价。结果表明,随着干旱胁迫的增加,狗牙根种质的发芽势、发芽率、发芽指数均显著降低(P0.05),且不同指标出现显著降低的PEG浓度并不一致;高浓度PEG抑制了狗牙根种质的胚芽长、胚根长、根芽比、幼苗重(P0.05),而低浓度对其影响不显著(P0.05);15%的PEG可作为狗牙根芽期抗旱鉴定的最适处理浓度;隶属函数综合分析认为,6份狗牙根的抗旱性由强到弱依次为Cd016Cd043Cd047Cd002Cd034Cd013。

Molecular mechanisms underlying pig oocyte maturation and fertilization

Since the pig is not only an important farm animal, but also a model animal for biomedical applications, the development of reproductive technologies in this species has been very important. In vitro oocyte maturation and fertilization (IVM-IVF) are basic techniques for a number of oocyte- or embryo-related technologies. The practical aspects for pig oocyte IVM-IVF have been reviewed, while the molecular mechanisms underlying oocyte meiotic maturation and fertilization have not been well summarized, although accumulating data have been obtained in recent one decade. This review will focus on what is known about the molecular mechanisms of porcine oocyte maturation and fertilization such as first meiosis resumption, meiotic spindle assembly, second meiosis metaphase (MII) arrest during oocyte maturation, sperm-egg recognition and fusion, sperm acrosome reaction, second meiosis resumption, sperm chromatin decondensation, and pronucleus formation during fertilization, as well as the establishment of polyspermy block.     

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: The effect of dietary methionine levels on endogenous nitrogen and endogenous amino acids flows in growing goats

The effect of dietary methionine (Met) levels on endogenous N and amino acids (AA) flows at different part of the digestive tract of growing goats was determined using a ¹⁵N isotope dilution technique. Three goats (25 ± 2.5 kg) were fitted with the ruminal, duodenal and ileal cannulae and allocated to three dietary treatments in a 3 × 3 Latin square design. The dietary treatments consisted of a total mixed ration containing three levels of Met (0.15%, 0.25% and 0.35%) respectively. It was found that at 0.15% Met level, the lowest flow in endogenous N and total AA at the duodenum and ileum occurred. The endogenous N secretion contributed to 26% and 23% of the duodenal and ileal total N flows, respectively, and the proportions were not affected by the dietary Met levels. The duodenal and ileal flows of endogenous total AA were 11.1, 11.8, 11.3 g/d and 2.9, 3.9, 4.1 g/d respectively. The average real digestibility of N was 65%, 87% and 95% in the forestomach, intestine and whole digestive tract respectively.
