Reducing methane emissions and the methanogen population in the rumen of Tibetan sheep by dietary supplementation with coconut oil

The objective was to evaluate the effect of dietary coconut oil on methane (CH(4)) emissions and the microbial community in Tibetan sheep. Twelve animals were assigned to receive either a control diet (oaten hay) or a mixture diet containing concentrate (maize meal), in which coconut oil was supplemented at 12?g/day or not for a period of 4?weeks. CH(4) emissions were measured by using the 'tunnel' technique, and microbial communities were examined using quantitative real-time PCR. Daily CH(4) production for the control and forage-to-concentrate ratio of 6:4 was 17.8 and 15.3?g, respectively. Coconut oil was particularly effective at reducing CH(4) emissions from Tibetan sheep. The inclusion of coconut oil for the control decreased CH(4) production (in grams per day) by 61.2%. In addition, there was a positive correlation between the number of methanogens and the daily CH(4) production (R?=?0.95, P?相似文献   

Comparative analysis of proteomic profiles between endometrial caruncular and intercaruncular areas in ewes during the peri-implantation period

The endometrium of sheep consists of plenty of raised aglandular areas called caruncular (C), and intensely glandular intercaruncular areas (IC). In order to better understand the endometrium involved mechanisms of implantation, we used LC-MS/MS technique to profile the proteome of ovine endometrial C areas and IC areas separately during the peri-implantation period, and then compared the proteomic profiles between these two areas. We successfully detected 1740 and 1813 proteins in C areas and IC areas respectively. By comparing the proteome of these two areas, we found 170 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) (P < 0.05), functional bioinformatics analysis showed these DEPs were mainly involved in growth and remodeling of endometrial tissue, cell adhesion and protein transport, and so on. Our study, for the first time, provided a proteomic reference for elucidating the differences between C and IC areas, as an integrated function unit respectively, during the peri-implantation period. The results could help us to better understand the implantation in the ewes. In addition, we established a relatively detailed protein database of ovine endometrium, which provide a unique reference for further studies.     

中国与俄罗斯奶业合作分析

通过对俄罗斯奶业发展的资源环境分析,梳理了俄罗斯奶牛养殖、生鲜乳销售、乳制品加工与贸易的历史发展脉络,研判其未来发展前景。结果认为,俄罗斯奶业在国家政策扶持下,生产结构不断调整优化,未来发展空间广阔,特别是远东地区将会是俄罗斯奶业发展新的着力点。进一步对中俄两国在奶业生产领域的合作情况进行了态势分析（SWOT分析）,从总体上看,中俄两国奶业合作的机遇与挑战并存,但基于两国在奶业生产合作上的共同利益,及双方政府政策有力支持的基础上,中俄两国继续深化奶业务实合作,实现互利共赢的前景广阔。     

协力构建和谐的医患关系

和谐的医患关系是社会主义和谐社会的重要内容.构建和谐的医患关系,需要政府、医院、医务人员和患方的共同努力.为此,政府应增加卫生经费投入,加快卫生立法步伐;医院应着力医德医风建设,正确处理医疗纠纷;医务人员应树立人文关怀理念,改善医疗服务态度;患方应科学认识就医行为,理性对待医疗事故.     

应用间接血凝(IHA)方法检测藏羊肝片吸虫

用肝片吸虫成虫虫体进行抗原纯化,建立藏羊肝片吸虫间接血凝(IHA)诊断方法,并用此方法与粪便检查法检测青海湖地区50只藏羊。结果显示藏羊肝片吸虫阳性检出率,IHA法为48%,粪便检出法为38%。与粪检结果相比,阳性符合率为79.17%,阴性符合率为100%。IHA法结果表明:被检地区藏羊的肝片吸虫感染率达48%,应及时进行驱虫治疗。

三江源区高寒草原土壤湿度变化特征及与气候因子的关系

利用青海省三江源区兴海县牧业气象站1999-2016年高寒草原土壤湿度、牧草生育期资料,分析了高寒草原土壤湿度的年、季变化特征以及牧草生长季不同生育期土壤湿度的变化特征及与气候因子的关系。结果表明:高寒草原0-10、10-20、20-30、30-40和40-50 cm土壤湿度均随年际延长呈增加趋势,春季除40-50 cm土层外,其他各层土壤湿度均随年际延长呈显著增加趋势(P<0.05)。高寒草原牧草生长季的土壤相对湿度随年际延长呈显著上升趋势(P<0.05),且与生长季降水量之间呈极显著正相关关系(P<0.01)。随着气候变化,牧草抽穗、开花、成熟和枯黄期的土壤相对湿度随年际延长呈显著增加趋势(P<0.05)。牧草抽穗期、枯黄和全生育期的土壤湿度与气温呈显著负相关关系(P<0.05)。高寒草原牧草生长季土壤湿度的增加有利于草地植被生长。
