生物素和高铜水平对断奶仔猪的生产性能及免疫反应的影响

将216只断奶杂交仔猪(始重6.9kg)分为三组,进行了为期5周的试验,以评定补加生物素(0,220,440和880ppb)及铜(0,200,400ppm)对仔猪生产性能、血红蛋白浓度、血清和肝铜水平及免疫反应(体液和细胞间液)的影响。     

家畜伪狂犬病调查

1983年以来,四川省某县部分乡村的牛、绵羊、猪、山羊、犬、猫相继出现疑似伪狂犬病症状的病畜,致死率100％。为确诊此病,我们从1989年底到1991年初进行了较系统的流行病学调查研究,证明该县确实存在家畜伪狂犬病,现报告如下。     

一种廉价的养殖槽水流测量器

我们设计了一种简易装置,用来测量标准养鱼槽进水量。这种Capilano水流测量器由三小段不同直径的聚氯乙烯(PVC)管子组成,能让人们在调节进水控制阀时直接看出水流量的大小。     

Campylobacter monitoring in German broiler flocks: an explorative time series analysis

Campylobacter, a major zoonotic pathogen, displays seasonality in poultry and in humans. In order to identify temporal patterns in the prevalence of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in a voluntary monitoring programme in broiler flocks in Germany and in the reported human incidence, time series methods were used. The data originated between May 2004 and June 2007. By the use of seasonal decomposition, autocorrelation and cross-correlation functions, it could be shown that an annual seasonality is present. However, the peak month differs between sample submission, prevalence in broilers and human incidence. Strikingly, the peak in human campylobacterioses preceded the peak in broiler prevalence in Lower Saxony rather than occurring after it. Significant cross-correlations between monthly temperature and prevalence in broilers as well as between human incidence, monthly temperature, rainfall and wind-force were identified. The results highlight the necessity to quantify the transmission of Campylobacter from broiler to humans and to include climatic factors in order to gain further insight into the epidemiology of this zoonotic disease.     

提高哈密瓜杂交制种质量的技术措施

哈密瓜是新疆重要的经济作物之一,随着农业产业化进程的发展和农业产业结构的不断调整,哈密瓜的市场需求量越来越大,种植面积也不断扩大.目前生产上使用的哈密瓜品种基本上都是杂交种,杂种优势的利用比较普遍.哈密瓜作为瓜果中的精品对果实性状表现要求比较严格且种子成本较高,杂交种种子质量的好坏直接影响瓜的商品性和产量.哈密瓜杂交种种子质量指标除了主要包括纯度、净度、含水量和发芽率等指标外,作为商品种子还应注重籽粒整齐度、光泽、色泽、千粒重及种子健康状况等指标.前四项指标是国家种子法规定的硬性指标,其中一项不合格就不能上市交易.目前许多制种单位只注重种子质量的前四项指标而忽视了后者,而且制种生产程序尤其是杂交种亲本种子的生产不规范,杂交种制种技术指导和种子质量管理还存在一些问题.因此提高哈密瓜杂交制种的质量,应重点从抓亲本种子质量、严格制种技术、种子质量检测和质量管理方面入手.
