牛组织蛋白D基因多态性与肉质、胴体性状的关联分析

以51头西门塔尔和鲁西黄牛的杂交后代作为试验动物,扩增组织蛋白酶D(cathepsin D,CTSD)基因部分外显子,通过DNA测序方法检测到该基因第5、6、8外显子共4个SNPs(T581C、T599C、A861T、A1128G)的遗传变异。SAS软件采用最小二乘法拟合线性模型,将几个位点的不同基因型与牛肉质、胴体性状进行关联分析。结果表明,位于CTSD基因外显子5的T581C突变与大理石纹性状呈显著相关(P<0.05),BB基因型显著优于AA和AB基因型,这为T581C作为肉牛大理石纹的分子标记提供了一定的理论依据。     

河南省病死畜禽无害化集中处理体系建设实践

病死畜禽无害化处理工作事关养殖业安全、公共卫生安全和生态环境安全。河南省2013年实施病死畜禽无害化集中处理体系建设以来,已建成病死畜禽无害化集中处理场100个,日均处理能力1350t,病死畜禽收集点1990个,在政策扶持、机制创新、资金支持、执法监督等方面积累了丰富经验,创设了病死猪无害化处理与保险勘查理赔相挂钩的联动机制——“河南模式”,但也存在体系规划不合理、建设标准不高、政策不完善等问题。本文结合实际,提出制定法律法规、完善扶持政策、加强科技研发、加强宣传引导等建议,以期为深入推进病死畜禽无害化集中处理体系建设提供借鉴。

Association of RBP‐4 gene polymorphisms with follicular cysts in large white sows

Follicular cysts, which is a common infertility disease, can cause financial losses in pig breeding programmes. The pathogenesis and mechanisms of the formation of follicular cysts are not understood clearly. In our previous study, the concentration of retinol‐binding protein 4 (RBP‐4) in the follicular fluid (FF) of the ovary with follicular cysts was found to be significantly higher than that of normal ovary, thereby suggesting that RBP‐4 may be a candidate biomarker for porcine follicular cysts. To study the association of RBP‐4 and follicular cysts further, we detected the polymorphisms of the RBP‐4 gene and the presence of follicular cysts by PCR‐Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay. In this study, we screened the mutations of RBP‐4 gene in 79 sows with follicular cysts and 100 normal sows without cysts. Results showed that +249‐63G>C polymorphisms were significantly associated with follicular cysts, and sows with CC genotype in RBP‐4 gene had a high risk of developing follicular cysts. Hence, our findings further proved that RBP‐4 may be a novel biomarker for follicular cysts, which may be valuable for the diagnosis of follicular cysts and molecular breeding of pigs.

黑水虻的生物学特性及在家禽生产中的应用研究进展

随着人民生活水平的提高,饮食消费需求加大,畜禽养殖业得以迅速发展,随之而来的是国内饲料资源尤其是蛋白资源变得更加紧缺。在国外蛋白原料产量高、价格低的情况下,中国饲料业生产过度依赖进口,为了促进国内外饲料贸易的均衡发展,同时降低饲料成本,优化饲料生产结构,寻找和开发新型蛋白饲料资源是目前养殖业亟需解决的艰巨任务之一。昆虫是一种生产资源,其蛋白质含量丰富,可替代部分蛋白饲料资源,如今昆虫饲料资源化逐渐成为研究热点。黑水虻作为一种应用前景广阔的资源型昆虫,具有繁殖快、食性杂、抗逆性强等特点,富含蛋白质、脂肪,并含有抗菌肽、甲壳素、月桂酸等活性物质,常应用于养殖生产。黑水虻替代饲粮中的蛋白质原料能够提高家禽生产性能、改善产品品质和肠道健康、增强机体免疫功能,且有对家禽粪便进行资源化利用等作用。作者综述了黑水虻的生物学特性、营养特性及其对家禽生产应用的影响,以期为黑水虻的进一步资源化开发利用及其在家禽生产中的作用机理及标准化应用研究提供参考依据。     

牦牛皱胃组织结构及黏膜免疫相关细胞研究

为揭示牦牛皱胃组织结构和黏膜免疫相关细胞的分布与数量变化的规律,采用组织化学法、图像分析法及透射电镜技术,对牦牛皱胃组织结构及上皮内淋巴细胞、浆细胞和肥大细胞变化进行了研究.结果表明:牦牛皱胃胃壁由黏膜层、黏膜下层、肌层和浆膜构成.皱胃幽门腺区胃小凹深度最深、腺体最长、肌层最厚;3个腺区肌层厚度、腺体长度之间差异极显著(P＜0.01);幽门腺区与胃底腺区、贲门腺区之间胃小凹差异极显著(P＜0.01),胃底腺区与贲门腺区之间差异不显著(P＞0.05).牦牛皱胃黏膜上皮内淋巴细胞数量和浆细胞数量,3个腺区之间差异不显著(P＞0.05);肥大细胞数量以胃底腺区最多,幽门腺区最少,两者之间差异极显著(P＜0.01),贲门腺区与胃底腺区和幽门腺区之间差异不显著(P＞0.05).皱胃各腺区固有层中均有大量的弥散淋巴细胞和孤立淋巴小结.电镜观察表明,胃小凹柱状上皮细胞排列紧密.幽门腺区固有层中有大量的黏液细胞,黏液细胞呈高柱状或锥体状,核位于基底部,在细胞顶端常聚集有较多的电子密度较高的颗粒.胃底腺区和贲门腺区有大量的壁细胞和主细胞.牦牛皱胃的组织结构和其他反刍动物基本相似,但各层有其明显特点.牦牛皱胃各腺区固有层中均有大量弥散淋巴细胞和孤立淋巴小结,使牦牛皱胃具有比其他反刍动物更强的黏膜免疫功能.     

Evidence of breed-dependent differences in susceptibility to porcine circovirus type-2-associated disease and lesions

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) has been confirmed as the primary cause of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). However, in the field, PMWS is seen only in a small percentage of pigs infected with PCV2. The overall objective of the study reported here was to determine whether host genetic differences in the susceptibility to PCV2-associated disease exist among selected breeds of pigs. This study included Duroc (n = 23), Landrace (n = 19), and Large White (n = 21) pigs. The pigs were infected intranasally and intramuscularly at 5-7 weeks of age with PCV2. A portion of the pigs (31/63; 30.2%) had low passively acquired PCV2 antibodies at the time of infection. There were no differences in mean weight gain, rectal temperature, or respiratory score. Clinical disease compatible with PMWS was observed only in the Landrace pigs. Most of the PCV2-infected pigs had enlarged lymph nodes, and individual Duroc and Landrace pigs had mottled tan lungs. PCV2-associated lymphoid depletion and granulomatous inflammation were observed in pigs of all breeds. Three of 19 Landrace pigs and none of the Duroc or Large White pigs developed severe lymphoid lesions associated with large amounts of intralesional PCV2 antigen typical of PMWS. Compared with seronegative Landrace pigs, Landrace pigs that had low maternal antibodies at the time of PCV2 inoculation had significantly (P < 0.05) less-severe PCV2-associated lesions. The results suggest a predisposition of the Landrace pigs of this study to PCV2-induced disease and lesions, and that low levels of passively acquired antibodies are protective.     

Experimental infection of pregnant gilts with swine hepatitis E virus

To determine the effect of swine hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection on pregnant gilts, their fetuses, and offspring, 12 gilts were intravenously inoculated with swine HEV. Six gilts, who were not inoculated, served as controls. All inoculated gilts became actively infected and shed HEV in feces, but vertical transmission was not detected in the fetuses. There was no evidence of clinical disease in the gilts or their offspring. Mild multifocal lymphohistiocytic hepatitis was observed in 4 of 12 inoculated gilts. There was no significant effect of swine HEV on fetal size, fetal viability, or offspring birth weight or weight gain. The offspring acquired anti-HEV colostral antibodies but remained seronegative after the antibodies waned by 71 days of age. Swine HEV infection induced subclinical hepatitis in pregnant gilts, but had no effect on the gilts' reproductive performance, or the fetuses or offspring. Fulminant hepatitis associated with HEV infection was not reproduced in gilts.
