利用体外产气法研究戊酸对山羊瘤胃发酵的影响

应用体外产气法模拟瘤胃发酵,通过测定24 h体外累计产气量、细菌氮含量和中性洗涤纤维(NDF)的降解率,评价戊酸的不同添加水平对山羊瘤胃发酵的影响.试验采用单因子设计,戊酸的添加水平分别为0%、0.3%、0.6%、0.9%、1.2%,每个水平4个重复.结果表明与对照组相比,添加0.6%的戊酸组能显著提高24 h累计产气量(P＜0.05)和极显著提高细菌氮含量(P＜0.01);在添加戊酸水平为0%～0.3%时,NDF降解率有提高的趋势,但是差异不显著(P＞0.05),在0.3%～1.2%时,其NDF降解率显著下降(P＜0.05).建议日粮中戊酸的适宜添加水平为0.6%.

Relationship of ruminal temperature with parturition and estrus of beef cows

Spring-calving Angus cows (n = 30) were used to evaluate changes in ruminal temperature (RuT) related to parturition and estrus. Cows were synchronized and artificially inseminated with semen from a single sire. Temperature boluses were placed in the rumen at 7.0 ± 0.2 mo of gestation. Boluses were programmed to transmit RuT every 15 min. Cows (BW = 623 ± 44 kg, BCS = 4.9 ± 0.4) calved during 3 wk, and estrus was synchronized at 77 ± 7 d after calving with PGF(2α). Cows were observed every 12 h to detect estrus. Daily average ambient temperatures ranged from 2 to 22 °C during parturition (February to March) and 17 to 25 °C during estrus (May to June). Ruminal temperature from 7 d before to 3 d after parturition and 2 d before to 2 d after visual detection of estrus was analyzed using the MIXED procedure. Ruminal temperatures <37.72 °C were attributed to water consumption and excluded from analyses. Day did not influence (P = 0.36) RuT from d -2 to -7 before parturition (38.94 ± 0.05 °C). Ruminal temperature decreased (P < 0.001) from d -2 to d -1 before parturition (38.88 ± 0.05 to 38.55 ± 0.05 °C, respectively). Ruminal temperature was not influenced (P = 0.23) by day from 1 d before to 3 d after parturition (38.49 ± 0.05 °C). Ruminal temperature at 0 to 8 h after detection of estrus (38.98 ± 0.09 °C) was greater (P < 0.001) compared with RuT at the same daily hour of the day before (38.37 ± 0.11 °C) or the day after estrus (38.30 ± 0.09 °C). Ambient temperature did not influence (P > 0.30) RuT at parturition or estrus. Ruminal temperature decreased the day before parturition and increased at estrus in spring-calving beef cows and has potential use as a predictor of parturition and estrus.     

Immunoadjuvant activities of a recombinant chicken IL-12 in chickens vaccinated with Newcastle disease virus recombinant HN protein

Recombinant fowlpox virus (rFPV/HN) expressing Newcastle disease virus (NDV) HN gene and rFPV/HN/chIL-12 co-expressing chicken IL-12 (chIL-12) and HN (rHN/chIL-12) genes have been characterized. rHN/chIL-12 or rchIL-12, expressed by our previous construct rFPV/chIL-12, co-administered with rHN was assessed for adjuvant activities of chIL-12. Chickens were vaccinated with various amounts of rHN/chIL-12 mixed with mineral oil (MO), intramuscularly. Levels of hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibody production depended on the concentration of the injected rHN or rHN/chIL-12. The lower HI antibody titers were obtained in chicken groups rHN/chIL-12/7-rHN/chIL-12/9, receiving 60ng rHN/8ng chIL-12 with MO, 30ng rHN/4ng chIL-12 with MO or 15ng rHN/2ng chIL-12 with MO, respectively, compared to those in chicken groups rHN/7-rHN/9, receiving rHN with MO alone. However, chickens in group rHN/chIL-12/7 or rHN/chIL-12/8 and rHN with MO alone showed the same effective protection. Chicken group rHN/chIL-12/9 was even more protective than that in group rHN/9. When rchIL-12 was co-injected with 15ng rHN plus MO, chickens produced low levels of HI antibody titers; while higher levels of IFN-γ production and an effective protection rate (83%) were obtained. On the other hand, low levels of IFN-γ production and low protection response (50%) were obtained in chickens injected with rHN with MO alone. Taken together, when the concentration of rHN decreased to certain levels, rchIL-12 reduced HI antibody production. The increase in the induction of IFN-γ production might suggest the enhancement of the cell-mediated immunity which conferred the protection from the NDV challenge.     

绒山羊次级毛囊基因表达滞后性的转录组分析

毛囊是具有高度的自我更新能力、独特的可再生器官,其周期性变化是一个动态过程,为了研究毛囊差异基因表达变化情况,文章以内蒙古绒山羊生长期毛囊为研究对象,利用Illumina高通量测序技术方法,检测6~10月皮肤毛囊差异基因表达变化情况,寻找对绒毛生长及质量具有调控作用的特异表达基因。试验发现,多数差异基因分别在初级毛囊（PF）的7、8月份和次级毛囊的（SF）8、9月份表达;在绒毛生长期的相邻月份中,发现FAM83C、LOC102185501、FYCO1、CTTNBP2NL、C6orf132、KRTAP29-1 和 CRYBG3 7个共同差异表达基因呈现相同的表达趋势,且在次级毛囊上的表达变化均比初级毛囊滞后1个月。综上所述,次级毛囊在基因表达调控中存在一定的滞后性,这将为绒毛周期生长发育和分子育种提供重要的理论基础。
