乳成分在线测定仪——"魔盒"

魔盒(如左图)只有拳头般大小,但它的功能却多样,在挤奶的同时,能在线检测原料奶的各种成分,包含乳脂、乳蛋白、乳糖、总固体、尿素,血、体细胞,其中体细胞又可分成四个类别,(a)体细胞<20万/mL,(b)体细胞在20￣40万/mL,(c)体细胞在40￣80万/mL,(d)体细胞>80万/mL。检测的时间就是牛只完成挤奶的同时,即在挤奶的瞬间,魔盒对牛奶中的上述指标进行检测。测出的数据将自动显示并保存在电脑中,并由阿菲牧(由以色列阿菲金公司研发)牛场管理软件永久保存,方便随时随地查阅。这些数据对牛场和乳品企业具有如下意义:1对牧场生产具有直接的指导意义牛…

用经改进的聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳铁染法,测定了二花脸猪血浆转铁蛋白多态类型,分析了其基因型频率和基因频率,并探讨了猪血浆转铁蛋白多态性与产仔性能和增重速度的相关性。     

小麦面粉沉淀值的微量快速测定(简报)

沉淀值(sedimentation value)是衡量小麦面粉蛋白质品质的一个重要指标。研究表明,沉淀值与面包的体积及面包得分有最密切的相关性。可用沉淀值测定法来估价小麦面粉的品质。许多育种单位都采用沉淀值测定法作为蛋白质品质育种的早代筛选法。按照 ICC-116标准,沉淀值测定需要最少3.2g 面粉,如果要在 F_2对单株进行测定,样品量显得大了些。因而有人发展了一些微量的沉淀值测定法。作者在联邦德国进修期间,对一私人育种公司发展的一种微量测定法进行了研究,现将结果简报如下。     

沙门氏菌鞭毛蛋白属共同抗原表位的定位

用淋巴细胞杂交瘤技术研制成４株沙门氏菌属特异单抗ＣＢ８，ｄｅ７，ｃｃ６，ＤＤ４，在免疫转印试验中，证实它们所识别的抗原表位位于鞭毛蛋白上，ＥＬＩＳＡ相加试验及竞争试验显示，ＣＢ８和ｃｃ６与ｄｅ７，ＤＤ４识别的抗原表位不同，表明鞭毛蛋白的属共同抗原具有多种表位的特性。用胰蛋白酶消化鞭毛蛋白，ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ结果出现两条新带，分子量分别为４２０００（Ｆ４２），２７０００（Ｆ２７），长时间消化，最终只剩下Ｆ２７条带，它可抵制该酶的消化。对该酶切样品的免疫转印结果表明，沙门氏菌鞭毛蛋白属共同抗原表位出现于Ｆ４２和Ｆ２７上，而相应的沙门氏菌分型Ｈ抗原单抗或因子血清识别的表位也在Ｆ４２和Ｆ２７上都得到了证实。这为沙门氏菌鞭毛蛋白抗原的多样性及结构和功能研究提供了证据。     

温柔欺诈何时休

在美国费城，有一位名叫John Wanamaker的大老板曾说过这样一句话：“我敢肯定我花在广告上的钱，有一半是被浪费掉了。但问题是，我不知道是哪一半。”     

从洋马、三仓两个乡的实践看农业结构调整中支柱产业的培植

江苏省盐城市所辖的射阳县洋马乡和东台市三仓镇,近几年来,在农业结构调整中,因地制宜确立主导产业,千方百计培育主导产业,分别成为远近闻名的中药材之乡和西瓜之乡,1999年洋马乡中药材种植面积达3333.3公顷,实现产值1.6亿元,分别占全乡耕地面积和种植业产值的70%和75%;三仓镇种植大棚西瓜2020公顷,实现产值1.2亿元,分别占全镇耕地面积和种植业产值的40%和64.6%.     

Seroprevalence of porcine and human influenza A virus antibodies in pigs between 1986 and 1988 in Hassia

1,268 sera collected from slaughtered pigs in Hassia (FRG) from 1986 to 1988 were tested for antibodies against porcine and human influenza A virus strains using the single radial haemolysis test (SRHT). Antibodies against the porcine strains (subtype H1N1) A/Swine/Arnsberg/1/81, A/Swine/Iowa/15/30 and A/New Jersey/7/76 were detected in 411 (32.4%), 318 (25.1%) and 304 (24.0%) of sera, respectively. Up to 1988 a slight increase (10%) in the seroprevalence to A/Swine/Arnsberg/1/81 was noticed, whereas the results obtained with the other strains showed little variation. Antibodies against the human H1N1 strain A/Singapore/6/86 were only found in sera collected 1987 and 1988 in rates of 1.6% and 3.0%. Serological indication of infections with the human H3N2 strains A/Victoria/1/75, A/Hong Kong/1/68 and A/Philippines/2/82 could be shown in 286 (22.6%), 178 (14.4%) and 135 (10.6%) of the serum samples. Within the three year period the rate of sera positive for antibodies against A/Philippines/2/82 increased from 6.5% to 23.0%, whereas no variation in the rates were found using the other H3N2 strains. Antibodies simultaneously against porcine (H1N1) and human (H3N2) virus strains were detected in 9.9% of all sera tested.     

Quantitation of adenine nucleotides in equine colonic mucosal tissue using high performance liquid chromatography.

The objectives were to use high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to validate an established method for adenine nucleotide separation in equine colonic mucosal tissue, to determine the inherent variability in the tissue and extraction method, and to determine the stability of ATP, ADP, and AMP in the tissue with time. Equine colonic mucosal tissue obtained from a single horse was immediately submersed in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -70 degrees C. Samples were lyophilized, extracted, and separated by HPLC. The limit of quantitation was 0.05 microg/mL. The coefficient of variation for the instrument was less than 10% for all nucleotides measured. When the tissue was not homogenized prior to sampling, there were significant differences in adenine nucleotide content between samples. However, when the tissue was homogenized prior to analysis, these differences were no longer significant. There was no significant decrease in ATP, ADP, or AMP content over a 54-day analysis period.     

非洲黑鸵鸟人工饲养条件下繁殖性能的观察

14只2岁非洲黑鸵鸟按公母比例1:2～3分成4个繁殖组合,对产蛋、受精、孵化情况进行观察分析。结果显示,每只母鸵鸟年平均产蛋量为55.2枚,最高约为73枚,最低为39枚。4个组合鸟群之间种蛋的受精率存在显著的差异P<0.01,I组的受精率最高,为59.6%;IV组的受精率最低,仅8.9%。各组的受精率、孵化率差异不显著P>0.05,平均受精蛋孵化率达到92.6%。本次受精率较低的原因为公鸟年龄小,没有完全达到性成熟。
