Effects of supplemental vitamin E during the mature period on the reproduction performance of Taiwan Native Chicken cockerels

One-day-old Taiwan native male chicks were fed with maize-soybean rearing diets without supplemental vitamin E to 23 weeks of age. From 23 to 52 weeks of age, the cockerels (n = 90) were assigned at random to 5 dietary treatments and fed with maize-soybean diets supplemented with 0, 20, 40, 80 and 160 mg/kg of vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol acetate). Pullets (225) of the same age were fed with standard diets throughout. They were artificially inseminated with one dose of 0.04 ml/bird intact and 5-fold diluted pooled semen at 31 to 43 weeks of age and at 49 weeks of age, respectively. The criteria evaluated included: semen quality, fertility and maximum and effective duration of fertility, blood characteristics, body and testes weight. Supplemental vitamin E did not affect cockerels' effective duration of fertility and percentage of fertility. However, when pullets were inseminated with diluted semen, supplementing 160 mg/kg vitamin E increased the maximum duration of fertility at 49 weeks of age. Cockerels receiving 40 to 160mg/kg supplements had higher sperm viability and motility after 39 weeks of age and those fed 80 mg/kg had higher sperm concentration at 39 weeks of age. Cockerels receiving supplements of more than 40 mg/kg vitamin E had higher body weight gain. Plasma cholesterol and testosterone were not affected by supplemental vitamin E. However, plasma luteinising hormone (LH) concentration was lower in cockerels fed 160 mg/kg. Lack of supplemental vitamin E over 39 weeks was associated with lower semen quality but did not reduce the proportion of fertile eggs laid by inseminated hens, perhaps because the insemination dose compensated for low sperm quality. We found that the maximum duration of fertility might be improved by supplementing 160 mg/kg vitamin E at 49 weeks of age.     

高效液相色谱法测定猪血浆及组织中喹赛多及其脱二氧代谢物

建立了测定猪血浆及肝脏、肾脏、肌肉等组织中的喹赛多及其代谢物脱二氧喹赛多的高效液相色谱(HPLC)法.血浆样用甲醇沉淀蛋白后离心取上清液进样测定.组织样先用乙腈匀浆,用正己烷脱脂后作HPLC检测.色谱柱为ODS C18柱;流动相血浆样测定为乙腈水(2080),组织样测定为甲醇水(4258),流速为1.0 mL/min;紫外检测波长305 nm.药物工作液质量浓度范围为0.005～0.500 mg/L时,血浆样品及组织样品测定条件下药物质量浓度与响应值均具良好线性关系,相关系数＞0.999.血浆中药物质量浓度为0.02、0.10、0.50 mg/L时,喹赛多及脱二氧喹赛多的回收率均大于70%,组织中药物含量为0.05、0.20、1.00μg/g时,肌肉样品的回收率均大于70%,肝脏、肾脏样品则为50%～80%.本试验条件下,喹赛多及其脱二氧代谢物的最低检出质量浓度,血浆样品分别为0.01、0.02mg/L,组织样品2种检测物均为0.025μg/g.测定了工作液3种质量浓度0.01、0.05、0.25 mg/L的仪器精密度,日内相对偏差＜8.0%,日间相对偏差＜17.0%.

附睾功能及其对精子成熟的影响

哺乳动物的附睾为精子的成熟提供了特殊的微环境，是精子成熟、保护、运输和贮存的部位，在生殖过程中起着重要作用。附睾上皮细胞的合成、分泌、转运等功能使精子发生了一系列结构、生化和功能的改变．从而使精子获得受精和运动能力。作者对附睾的形态结构、功能和对精子成熟影响研究现状等作简要综述。     

猪肺炎支原体 MY-99株的致病性

将猪肺炎支原体MY-99株人工培养F100株经鼻腔接种于健康成华×大约克杂交猪,2周后60%的猪出现气喘,个别猪伴有轻微咳嗽;病理切片可见到支气管周围多量淋巴样细胞浸润、肺泡壁增厚等典型的间质性肺炎病变.试验猪平均日增重比对照猪显著降低,接种后0～14 d期间降低了31.05%(P<0.01),15～28 d期间降低了42.01%(P<0.01),29～42 d期间降低了0.1%(P>0.05).试验猪血清中的猪肺炎支原体抗体水平在2周后最高(1∶24.2),4周后降至1∶23.9,6周后最低(1∶22.5),显示猪肺炎支原体MY-99株诱发了急性猪地方流行性肺炎,同时从试验猪肺脏中分离出了猪肺炎支原体.超微切片显示,其菌体大小为0.33～0.48 μm,并缺乏细胞壁;革兰氏染色为阴性类球形菌体,在压力下可以通过0.45 μm的细菌滤膜,菌落呈现煎蛋状.

如何选择缉毒犬

实践已证明,在犬群中只有约二十分之一的犬适宜作为缉毒犬,因为本身的自然素质及心理素质存在着一定的差异,犬的潜能也是有区别的.好的受训犬能节省训犬员训练时间,提高训练成功率及训犬员的信心,更好地为人民服务.     

寡糖在反刍动物营养中的作用

寡糖(Oligosaccharides,Os)又称寡聚糖或低聚糖,是指2～10个单糖通过糖苷键连接形成的一类糖,是近年来开发的无公害饲料添加剂之一.由于具有无污染、无残留、功能奇特等优点,日益受到人们的重视,已成为当今研究的热点.在日本,食品和饲料中使用寡糖已成为常规 [1].其他各国饲料中寡糖的使用量也呈逐年上升的趋势.
