Effects of feeding bamboo vinegar and acidifier as an antibiotic substitute on the growth performance and intestinal bacterial communities of weaned piglets

Abstract

The experiment was designed to evaluate effects of feeding bamboo vinegar (BV) and acidifier to substitute antibiotic on the growth performance and intestinal bacterial communities of weaned piglets. Three hundred and sixty weaned piglets (body weight (BW) = 10 ± 2 kg) were allocated into three treatments for 25 days of experiment feeding, with three replicates (pen) per treatment. A basal diet was added with antibiotics (Control), 0.4% BV and 0.25% acidifier I (BVAI), or 0.4% BV and 0.25% acidifier II (BVAII), respectively. No significant differences were observed in feed intake, final weight, average daily gain and feed to gain ratio (P > 0.05) among different treatments. The species richness and bacterial community diversities in feces were higher for the pigs in treatment BVAI and BVAII than those of pigs in the Control (36.5 and 1.55, respectively), with a significant difference between BVAII and the Control (P < 0.05). The bacterial communities of pigs in BVAI and BVAII clustered together, forming a cluster we designated as Cluster C and separated from another cluster in pigs fed antibiotic designated as Cluster A in the Control treatment. The results indicate that the 0.4% BV and 0.25% acidifier can replace antibiotics in the diets for piglets without negative effects on production and allow for greater diversity of the intestinal bacterial community compared to antibiotics.     

6种高丛蓝莓叶片形态解剖特征的比较研究

以辽南地区引种的6个高丛蓝莓品种为试验材料,通过叶片扫描、“指甲油印迹法”和石蜡切片法对比研究了各品种叶片形态解剖特征。结果表明：北高品种叶片的分形维数高于南高,大粒蓝金最大,库帕最小,但北高品种叶厚小于南高;南高品种气孔大于北高,而气孔密度小于北高品种,品种间气孔形状无明显差异;气孔分布随观察视野的变大皆呈均匀分布到随机分布,北高品种先于南高变为随机分布;南高品种表皮细胞、栅栏组织、海绵组织厚度大于北高,角质层和中脉厚度南北差异较小,但北高品种的中脉与叶片厚度之比高于南高品种;叶片组织紧密度、疏松度和栅海比南北两大种植品系之间无规律性变异,品种之间却存在显著差异。     

饲用小叶锦鸡儿在山西的最佳采收时期

本研究连续3年对小叶锦鸡儿的生长规律及物候期进行观察,并采集1~8a不同年龄枝条及3a不同物候期枝条(带叶、花、果)测定并比较其营养成分(粗蛋白、粗脂肪、粗纤维、粗灰分、无氮浸出物、钙、磷等)的含量;采用层次分析法(AHP),计算各枝龄、物候期与参考向量的灰色关联度,确定最佳饲用采收期,以期评价小叶锦鸡儿(Caragana microphylla)不同年龄枝条和年生长周期的不同物候期营养成分变化规律,确定其饲用最佳采收期,为科学经营和合理利用资源提供理论依据。结果表明,1)按枝条不同生长年龄营养价值等权关联度排序为3a2a4a5a1a6a7a8a;加权关联度排序为3a1a5a2a4a6a7a8a。2)按不同物候期等权关联度排序为结果中期果熟期果后生长期花期展叶期萌芽期落叶期休眠期;加权关联度排序为结果中期果后生长期果熟期花期展叶期落叶期萌芽期休眠期。3a枝条结果中期作为加工饲料的最佳采收期,也是最佳平茬更新时期。     

饲料中添加发酵中药对文昌鸡肝毒性研究

中药渣经微生物发酵可减少抗营养因子,增强功效,试验旨在研究饲料添加发酵中药渣对文昌鸡肝脏毒性影响。试验选用体重、日龄相近文昌鸡(43日龄,母)192只,随机分为4组,每组8个重复,每个重复6只。发酵中药渣添加水平为0%、0.5%、1.0%、1.5%,试验为期4周。结果显示,与组1相比,2、3、4组血清中谷草转氨酶(AST)、总胆红素(TBIL)、葡萄糖(GLU)含量均显著降低(P<0.05)。与组1相比,2、3组肝脏组织AST含量显著升高(P<0.05);3组谷丙转氨酶(ALT)含量显著升高(P<0.05),4组ALT含量显著降低(P<0.05);2、3、4组碱性磷酸酶(AKP)含量显著升高(P<0.05);3、4组肝脏组织中GLU和总蛋白(TP)显著升高(P<0.05)。表明,饲料中添加发酵中药渣可减少文昌鸡肝细胞损伤,促进肝脏的合成代谢和贮备功能,其中以1.0%添加量最适。     

比利时野猪非洲猪瘟防控

2018年9月,比利时公共健康研究院(国家非洲猪瘟参考实验室)确认在瓦隆地区发现野猪感染非洲猪瘟病毒,毒株与2007年欧洲首例非洲猪瘟病毒株非常相似。欧盟和比利时通过采取卓有成效的控制措施,截至目前未发生家猪感染病例。主要防控经验:一是出台法规,组建非洲猪瘟政策委员会,及时评估和措施调整;二是根据OIE的原则要求建立管控区,借助人工屏障和自然屏障,防止感染野猪跨区域移动;三是完善养殖企业生物安全管理制度,防止野猪和家猪的接触,并通过SANITEL系统对境内的所有家猪开展标识追溯,防止高风险地区家猪的非法移动;四是做好宣传,使兽医、养殖户、狩猎者了解非洲猪瘟相关认知,确保防控义务落实到人。

Effect of 2‐hydroxy‐4‐(methylthio) butanoic acid and acidifier on the performance,chyme pH,and microbiota of broilers

This study was aimed to explore the comparative acidifying properties of 2‐hydroxy‐4‐(methylthio) butanoic acid (HMTBA) and a combination of DL‐methionine (DLM) and acidifier in male broiler production. A total of 480 1‐day‐old broiler chicks were randomly divided into four treatments: A (low HMTBA, 0.057% HMTBA); B (low acidifier, 0.05% DLM + 0.057% acidifier); C (high HMTBA, 0.284% HMTBA); and D (high acidifier, 0.25% DLM + 0.284% acidifier). At 21 d, growth performance, chyme pH, digestive enzyme activities, and intestinal microflora were measured. The pH of crop, gizzard, and ileum contents was higher in the HMTBA treatment group than in DLM + acidifier treatment group. Furthermore, acidifier supplementation promoted growth of butyrate‐producing bacteria such as Faecalibacterium, whereas high HMTBA (0.284%) inhibited the proliferation of acid‐producing bacteria including Roseburia and Collinsella. The chymotrypsin activity was lower in the HMTBA group than in the DLM + acidifier group. In contrast, high‐level HMTBA group showed higher average daily gain and average daily feed intake than the DLM + acidifier group. These results suggested that HMTBA work through different pathways with DLM plus acidifier.     

养殖环境细菌微生物气溶胶粒径分布及其健康危害评估

为深入了解畜禽舍环境中气载细菌微生物的空气动力学粒径分布规律,并评估其潜在的健康危害风险,采用Andersen-6级微生物空气采样器以血-琼脂培养基、沙氏培养基和高氏合成1号培养基为采样介质,对鸡舍、猪舍、牛舍环境中空气样品进行系统定点取样、测定及分析。研究结果表明,鸡舍环境中气载需氧菌含量最高,猪舍次之,牛舍最低;空气细菌粒径分布均为第Ⅰ级最高,鸡舍空气粒径呈偏态分布,牛舍、猪舍分别在第Ⅲ级和第Ⅳ级出现第2个峰值。携带细菌可吸入微粒在猪舍环境中比例最大。空气真菌与放线菌均在第Ⅳ级最高,携带真菌和放线菌可吸入粒子的比例显著大于细菌（P<0.05）。鸡舍、猪舍、牛舍空气微生物粒径各级分布比例基本一致。在鸡舍、猪舍、牛舍每天约有6.1×105CFU、4.7×104CFU和3.6×104CFU气载细菌微生物可分别进入人和动物小支气管或直接进入肺泡,从而对人和动物健康构成潜在危害。
