青海黄牛血清运铁蛋白多态性研究

采用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳法对１００头青海黄牛的血清运铁蛋白多态性进行了研究。结果发现：青海黄牛血清运铁蛋白位点存在ＴＦ￣Ａ，ＴＦ￣Ｂ，ＴＦ￣Ｄ１，ＴＦ￣Ｄ２，ＴＦ￣Ｆ，ＴＦ￣Ｅ６个等位基因，总共构成１３个基因型。与国内１２个品种黄牛的遗传距离和聚类分析表明，青海黄牛与蒙古牛的亲缘关系最近（Ｄｍ＝０．１１７８）。     

猪鸡联养研究

研究表明笼养肉鸡的鸡粪中粗蛋白含量比平面养的高１６．４７个百分点，而粗纤维低９．１２个百分点。用鸡粪喂猪，其饲料报酬同加入鸡粪的比例呈正相关，如日粮中添加３０－６０％鸡粪，其饲料报酬提高１５．３２－５５．３２％；同样加入４０％鸡粪喂猪，鸡粪经发酵的饲料报酬又比不发酵的高９．６２％。为使育肥猪得到较好的增重，还应将日粮的营养水平调整到接近饲养标准，猪鸡联养规模，一个专业户一次批量以肉鸡１０００－１５００羽，联养生猪１０－２０头为宜。

湖南省某生猪批发市场疫病传播风险评估

为评估湖南省某生猪批发市场猪群疫病的发生风险,找出可能的风险因素,便于提出针对性预防措施,采用自行设计的调查问卷,结合访谈和现场调查,对27户经营户进行了调查,并将调查结果和调运数据相结合进行了疫病传播风险定性评估。结果显示:该市场疫病传入的可能性"高",内部传播的可能性"中等",疫病传出的可能性"高"。生猪调运频次多、数量大,经纪人行为复杂,运输车辆清洗消毒不彻底是可能的风险因素。评估结果提示,应尽量减少经纪人行为影响,重点加强对运输车辆的清洗消毒。     

学会与犬对话

先来看一个有趣的人犬对话的例子,这是加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚大学动物心理学家斯登利·克耐恩教授的一次经历。一天,斯登利接到一位妇女的电话,抱怨她的犬对她过于用情,使得自己和丈夫很不舒服。当斯登利到她家时,看到了生动的一幕:那头黑色、体型巨大的公性罗威纳犬,在身材娇小     

Poisoning in ostriches following ingestion of toxic plants - field observations

Data from post-mortem and field studies were obtained that discussed poisoning in ostriches following ingestion of toxic plants. From the notes, all plants studied caused death in ostriches and there was systemic organ damage. Poisoning from Sarcostemma viminale (Melktou) resulted in beak patting, muscular tremors and head flopping, followed by collapse and violent kicking before death. Ingestion of Combretum oatesii (Red wings) seeds from plants in free grazing pastures resulted in vomiting, restlessness, eyelid flicking, collapse and kicking movements. Dichapetalum cymosum (Gifblaar) killed an ostrich after episodes of shaking legs, rapid respiration and bradycardia and hyperaemia of the lungs, liver and kidneys. Poisoning from Senecio sceleratus (Ragwort) caused skin haemorrhages and bleeding in tracheal mucous membranes, the pericardium, diaphragm and interperitoneal membrane. Consumption of drupes from Melia azedarach (Syringa berry) caused muscle tremors, kicking movements and respiratory distress. Lantana camara (Cherry pie) poisoning resulted in extremely inflamed eyes with copious yellow exudates extending down their beaks and onto their necks. Bentonite was administered by gavage at a dose of 5 g/kg. Poisoning in these cases is usually associated with the farmer allowing his/her birds to roam free-range in paddocks in which toxic plants are growing. Toxic plants should be removed from grass cut for hay. The author is willing to send photographs of all poisonous plants if requested by a reader.     

遮阴对10种野生观赏植物生长及生理特性的影响

为了探讨野生观赏植物在遮阴条件下的生态适应性及寻求适度的遮阴比例,选取兰州地区10种野生观赏植物为试验材料,比较测定不同光强生境(全光照、25%、50%、70%遮光率)对10种野生观赏植物生长和生理生化的影响。结果表明,角茴香(Hypecoum erectum)和驴蹄草(Caltha palustris)含水率随着遮阴度的增加而增加,小花草玉梅(Anemone rivularis)在75%遮阴度时干重最大,显著高于其余遮阴处理及全光照(CK)(P0.05);藤本铁线莲(Clematis florida)可溶性糖含量随着遮阴度的增加而减少,鹅绒委陵菜(Potentilla anserina)、角茴香、水杨梅(Geum aleppicum)和驴蹄草的叶绿素含量随着遮阴度的增加而增加;东方草莓(Fragaria orientalis)、角茴香和驴蹄草在全光照下丙二醛的含量显著高于其它处理(P0.05),香青(Anaphalis sinica)和水杨梅在75%遮阴度下丙二醛含量较高。综上所述,香青、莓叶委陵菜(Potentilla chinensis)、藤本铁线莲和野棉花(A.vitifolia)比较适合全光照生长;鹅绒委陵菜、小花草玉梅、东方草莓、角茴香和水杨梅可以忍耐适当的遮阴环境;驴蹄草适合在遮阴条件下生长。     

豌豆蚜生物生态学特性

豌豆蚜(Acyrthosiphon pisum)是许多豆科作物及牧草的重要害虫,不但直接取食寄主植物,造成严重的经济损失,而且还会传播多种植物病毒。豌豆蚜作为生态学研究的模式昆虫,具有复杂的生活周期、多样的生殖方式、表型可塑性以及与细菌复杂的共生关系等诸多特点,已成为众多科学家感兴趣的研究对象。本文全面总结了豌豆蚜生物生态学特性的研究成果,重点综述了豌豆蚜的多型现象和内共生菌研究的最新进展,提出研究豌豆蚜在全球气候和作物种植结构变化下生物生态学特性演变规律的必要性,加强其生态适应性及多型现象等遗传机制研究,以期为建立该虫的可持续防控技术体系提供依据。     

Assessment of antibiotic use in farm animals in Rwanda

The irrational use of antibiotics in humans and animals is highly related to the emergence and increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria worldwide. A cross-sectional survey aimed at evaluating the current level of practices regarding antibiotic use in farm animals in Rwanda was carried out countrywide. Interviews were conducted on 229 farmers rearing different types of animals. The study has revealed that almost all respondent farmers could name at least one antibiotic used in farm animals and peni-streptomycin was named by most of them (95.6%). The use of antibiotics in farm animals was observed in the majority of respondents (97.4%). It was found that 44.4 and 26.5% of respondents reported that they used antibiotics for disease prevention and growth promotion, respectively. The use of non-prescribed antibiotics in animals was also reported by more than the half of respondent farmers (55.6%). The majority of farmers had a moderate level of practices regarding antibiotic use in farm animals (73.5%), very few had a high level (26%) and only one respondent had a low level. The high level of practices in regard to antibiotic use in animals was associated with the location of the farm, the type of reared animals, and the rearing system. The results of this study give an insight into antibiotics usage practices in farm animals in Rwanda. The generated information can guide sensitizations and promotions of the prudent use of antibiotics among farmers in order to limit the increase of antibiotic resistance in the country.
