Utilization of Sake lees as Broiler Feedstuff and its Effects on Growth Performance and Intestinal Immunity

Increasing food loss and waste (FLW) is a global problem, and efforts are being made to use waste food as potential livestock feed material. The amount of self-supplied feed is lower in Japan than in other countries, and the government recommends FLW use for animal feed. Sake (Japanese rice wine) is a traditional alcoholic beverage. During the sake manufacturing process, large amounts of squeezed solids or “lees” (sake lees) are generated. Sake lees are nutritious and functional, but are prone to spoilage. In this study, we investigated whether sake lees should be mixed with animal feed immediately or after drying. To assess the usefulness of sake lees as a poultry feed ingredient and determine the effect of sake lees on intestinal immunity, we performed a feeding trial with three treatments: a raw sake lees (RSL) diet, dried sake lees (DSL) diet, and control diet. Three-week-old broilers were fed these diets (n=8 per group) for two weeks. We then calculated feed efficiency and performed RT-qPCR to assess the effects of diet on intestinal immunity. The growth performance in the RSL diet group was equivalent to that in the control diet group. The DSL diet became difficult for broilers to eat, resulting in decreased growth performance. In the ileum of RSL-diet broilers, the mRNA expression levels of TGF-β1 and avian β-defensin (AvBD)12 were significantly increased compared to those of control diet broilers (p<0.05), and a significant correlation was observed between the two genes (p<0.05). Our results indicated that sake lees should not be dried and should be mixed immediately with feed, and this sake lees when fed to chicken activates the intestinal immunity. However, sake lees have a lower fat content than corn, and it is thus important to combine sake lees with high-energy feed.

不同激素剂量对幼鼠超数排卵及超排卵质量的影响

应用国产激素制剂对３～８周龄昆明种小白鼠进行了超数排卵处理,重点观察了不同激素剂量对幼龄小鼠的超排效果及超排卵质量的影响。实验结果表明,以ＰＭＳＧ与ｈＣＧ各１０ＩＵ剂量超排３～８周龄小鼠,５周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵８３．８±１０．２个）极显著（Ｐ＜０．０１）好于４～８周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵３９．２～４９．８个）,而３周龄小鼠超排卵受精后体外培养的卵裂率（９７．１％）、桑椹胚率（８６．８％）和囊胚率（６５．１％）与４～８周龄超排卵的（分别为８５．５％～１００．０％、９４．９％～１００．０％和６３．２％～８７．７％）相近;以ＰＭＳＧ与ｈＣＧ各５ＩＵ剂量超排３～５周龄小鼠,３周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵５９．０±６．５个）显著（Ｐ＜０．０５）好于４周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵３１．４±４．９个）,并极显著（Ｐ＜０．０１）好于５周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵２１．４±３．３个）;以ＰＭＳＧ与ｈＣＧ各１５ＩＵ剂量超排３～５周龄小鼠,３周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵４８．６±７．３个）显著（Ｐ＜０．０５）好于５周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵２５．２±５．８个）,也好于４周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵４０．２±５．１个     

Physical and sensory characteristics of marinated broiler drumsticks treated with lactoperoxidase system and thermal treatment

1. The lactoperoxidase system (LPS) and thermal treatments have been shown to inactivate some micro-organisms in foods. However, further studies are needed to evaluate whether these treatments influenced the physical and sensory characteristics of treated samples. 2. A solution that contained 1% acetic acid and 3% salt with pH adjusted to 4 was developed as a standard marinade. The LPS consisting of 1 microg/ml lactoperoxidase (LP), 5.9 mM potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) and 2.5 mM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was added to the marinade for the LPS treatments. 3. In the thermal treatment, samples were heated with the marinade solution at 58 degrees C for 2 min and then marinated at 4 degrees C for 18 h, while the non-thermal treatments were marinated at 4 degrees C for 18 h. 4. For sensory evaluation, flavouring agents including 0.3% black pepper and 0.15% garlic powder were added to the marinade. For physical evaluation, no flavouring agents were added. 5. The results showed that combined LPS and thermal treatment did not impair the physical or sensory qualities of the samples. 6. In conclusion, marinated broiler drumsticks treated with LPS and thermal treatment had acceptable physical and sensory qualities.     

小鼠弓形虫病对卵巢功能的影响

为探索弓形虫病导致不孕的机理,选用性成熟SPF级雌性昆明小鼠60只,随机分为实验组与对照组,每组30只。实验组人工感染弓形虫,观察临床症状,并于45d和90d采血,用雌二醇放射免疫分析试剂盒测定实验组与对照组小鼠血中雌二醇的变化;在90d采血后处死小鼠,采集卵巢、脑等材料进行病理学检查。结果表明：在弓形虫感染90d后可明显引起脑和卵巢组织炎症反应与功能障碍,致小鼠血中雌二醇显著降低（（P〈0．05）,可能是导致小鼠不孕的主要原因。     

Molecular cloning,purification and immunogenicity of recombinant Brucella abortus 544 malate dehydrogenase protein

The Brucella mdh gene was successfully cloned and expressed in E. coli. The purified recombinant malate dehydrogenase protein (rMDH) was reactive to Brucella-positive bovine serum in the early stage, but not reactive in the middle or late stage, and was reactive to Brucella-positive mouse serum in the late stage, but not in the early or middle stage of infection. In addition, rMDH did not react with Brucella-negative bovine or mouse sera. These results suggest that rMDH has the potential for use as a specific antigen in serological diagnosis for early detection of bovine brucellosis.     

Propagation of Asian isolates of canine distemper virus (CDV) in hamster cell lines

Backgrounds

The aim of this study was to confirm the propagation of various canine distemper viruses (CDV) in hamster cell lines of HmLu and BHK, since only a little is known about the possibility of propagation of CDV in rodent cells irrespective of their epidemiological importance.

Methods

The growth of CDV in hamster cell lines was monitored by titration using Vero.dogSLAMtag (Vero-DST) cells that had been proven to be susceptible to almost all field isolates of CDV, with the preparations of cell-free and cell-associated virus from the cultures infected with recent Asian isolates of CDV (13 strains) and by observing the development of cytopathic effect (CPE) in infected cultures of hamster cell lines.

Results

Eleven of 13 strains grew in HmLu cells, and 12 of 13 strains grew in BHK cells with apparent CPE of cell fusion in the late stage of infection. Two strains and a strain of Asia 1 group could not grow in HmLu cells and BHK cells, respectively.

Conclusion

The present study demonstrates at the first time that hamster cell lines can propagate the majority of Asian field isolates of CDV. The usage of two hamster cell lines suggested to be useful to characterize the field isolates biologically.
