Impacts of a freedom farrowing pen design on sow behaviours and performance

The limited space in farrowing crate imposes many challenges, such as prolonged farrowing duration and high piglet stillbirth rate. Although the features of farrowing pens compensate for the drawbacks of farrowing crates, they are associated with high piglet crushing mortality caused by the greater space afforded to sows and their rolling-over behaviour. Therefore, a freedom farrowing pen was designed to overcome the drawbacks of both farrowing crates and farrowing pens. The main features of the freedom farrowing pen are its left anti-crushing bar and detachable right anti-crushing bar on the sides of the sow lying area. It also has a 10 cm-high anti-crushing bar in the non-lying area. Eighteen healthy, multiparous Yorkshire sows (3-7 parity) were averaged and randomly assigned to farrowing crates, farrowing pens, and freedom farrowing pens to compare the effects of the farrowing systems on sow behaviour and performance. Results showed that the farrowing duration and the mean piglet birth intervals were longer for the sows in farrowing crates than for those in farrowing pens and freedom farrowing pens (P<0.05), but there was no difference between the sows in farrowing pens and those in freedom farrowing pens (P>0.05). The piglet stillbirth rate was higher for the sows in farrowing crates than for those in farrowing pens and freedom farrowing pens (P<0.001). Crushing mortality was higher among piglets in farrowing pens (P<0.001), but there was no difference between piglets in freedom farrowing pens and those in farrowing crates (P>0.05). The freedom farrowing pen and the farrowing pen allowed sows to turn around and move freely, but because of the different structures of their anti-crushing bars, the increase in sow movement did not cause higher piglet crushing mortality (P>0.05). Sows in freedom farrowing pens were found to be more protective of their piglets.     

Effects of road transportation on metabolic and immunological responses in Holstein heifers

This study examined the effects of road transportation on metabolic and immunological responses in dairy heifers. Twenty Holstein heifers in early pregnancy were divided into non‐transported (NT; n = 7) and transported (T; n = 13) groups. Blood was collected before transportation (BT), immediately after transportation for 100 km (T1) and 200 km (T2), and 24 h after transportation (AT). The T heifers had higher (P < 0.05) blood cortisol and non‐esterified fatty acid concentrations after T1 and T2 than did NT heifers. By contrast, the T heifers had lower (P < 0.05) serum triglyceride concentrations after T1 and T2 than had the NT heifers. The serum cortisol and triglyceride concentrations returned (P > 0.05) to the BT concentrations at 24 h AT in the T heifers. The granulocyte‐to‐lymphocyte ratio and the percentage of monocytes were higher (P < 0.05) after T2 in the T heifers than in the NT heifers, suggesting that transportation stress increased the numbers of innate immune cells. T heifers had higher (P < 0.01) plasma haptoglobin concentrations than NT heifers 24 h AT. In conclusion, transportation increased cortisol secretion and was correlated with increased metabolic responses and up‐regulation of peripheral innate immune cells in dairy heifers.     

日本乙誓脑炎病毒NS1基因及其疫苗的研究进展

日本乙型脑炎是由日本乙型脑炎病毒引起的严重的人畜共患传染病。乙型脑炎病毒的三种糖基化蛋白PrM、E和NS1是其主要免疫保护性抗原,其中PrM和E蛋白是日本乙型脑炎病毒的结构蛋白,其结构和相关疫苗研究的报道较多。NS1蛋白是日本乙型脑炎病毒的非结构蛋白,其主要参与病毒复制的早期阶段,推测可能参与病毒组装和释放。可诱导补体依赖性溶细胞反应,不能产生中和抗体,能诱发机体在非中和性抗体存在的情况下产生保护性免疫。在接种乙脑病毒的细胞的细胞内、细胞表面及上清液中均含有大量的NS1蛋白。对小鼠接种NS1蛋白或NS1蛋白特异性抗体,均能让小鼠产生对乙脑病毒感染的保护性免疫作用。本文主要就乙型脑炎病毒非结构基因NS1及其免疫疫苗的研究进展进行综述,为其更进一步深入研究IEV NS1基因及其相关疫苗奠定基础。     

防控鸡病的综合措施

一选择优质健康的雏鸡 必须从无传染性疾病的种禽场购进雏鸡,切勿去那些不合乎孵化场卫生管理要求的土坑孵化场购雏鸡,更不能贪图便宜购买"小鸡挑子"等不明来源的雏鸡.     

锰的添加方式对肉仔鸡生产性能的影响

试验选用1日龄AA肉仔鸡180只,随机分为3组。Ⅰ组为对照组,添加硫酸锰（MnSO4·H2O）120mg／kg;Ⅱ组添加蛋氨酸螫合锰60mg／kg;Ⅲ组分别添加蛋氨酸螯合锰（Met-Mn）30mg／kg和硫酸锰（MnSO4·H2O）60mg／kg。研究不同方式添加锰对肉仔鸡生产性能的影响。结果表明．3种不同方式添加锰对肉仔鸡生产性能无显著影响（P〉0．05）．但Ⅲ组的饲料成本有所降低。因此,在肉仔鸡日粮中以第3种方式添加效果最佳。     

穴盘苗吹叶补苗机构设计与试验

针对叶片遮挡穴盘苗空穴机械补苗作业时存在损伤待补空穴周围穴盘苗叶片的问题,该研究提出一种使用射流气管吹开遮挡叶片进行机械补苗的吹叶补苗方法。作业时,射流气管内通高压气流,由待补空穴底端渗水孔向上移动,吹开遮挡叶片,到达穴盘苗叶片顶部后,补苗机械手夹持待补苗使基质块底部靠近射流气管顶端,并与射流气管同步下移完成补苗作业。吹叶机构射流气管内径5 mm,顶端封闭,靠近顶端的水平截面均布开设8个直径1.2 mm的射流孔。搭建由吹叶机构与挂接于Denso机械手臂的补苗机械手组成的试验装置,对72穴穴盘培育的红掌、白掌、芥蓝、菜心、白菜和生菜6种不同叶片遮挡程度的穴盘苗进行单穴吹叶补苗性能试验。结果表明,吹叶机构与补苗机械手协同作业的补苗成功率与穴盘苗初始叶片遮挡率（穴盘待补空穴被相邻穴盘苗叶片遮挡的面积与穴孔面积的比值）、遮挡叶片倾角和射流气管压力有关。在射流气管射流孔数为8,射流孔直径1.2 mm条件下,射流气管压力为0.28 MPa时,初始叶片遮挡率59.4%的红掌穴盘苗的补苗成功率可达92%;射流气管压力为0.22 MPa时,初始叶片遮挡率56.2%的白掌穴盘苗的补苗成功率可达94%;射流气管压力为0.22～0.31 MPa时,初始叶片遮挡率35.4%的芥蓝穴盘苗的补苗成功率均可达90%;射流气管压力为0.16～0.31 MPa时,初始叶片遮挡率29.7%～35.8%的菜心、白菜和生菜穴盘苗的补苗成功率均可达90%。研究结果可为叶片遮挡穴盘苗空穴的机械补苗设备开发提供技术参考。     

苹果砧木对嫁接品种影响的研究进展

为正确选择和利用苹果砧木,促进苹果经济栽培获得成功,从砧木和接穗的亲和力研究、砧木对接穗生理效应的影响、砧木对树体生长结果的影响3个方面综述了苹果砧木对嫁接品种影响的研究现状。砧木和接穗嫁接亲和性的研究多集中在嫁接后接口愈合情况、愈合时间以及嫁接体成活生长情况等方面,目前从形态学和解剖学方面研究的更为深入,在基因、转录和蛋白组学水平上也有涉猎,但还不够深入。砧木通过影响嫁接品种超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶、过氧化物酶、生长素氧化酶等酶的活性,从而影响其一系列生理活动,影响内源激素的代谢水平,矿质元素的吸收和运输,以及嫁接品种光合能力等,进而影响嫁接品种的生长发育。目前对这种影响机制还不十分明确,今后应加强此方面的研究,尤其是不同砧木对嫁接品种生理生化物质的产生、状态、运转及降解规律影响等方面的研究,同时还应加强砧穗互作效应的研究,以帮助选择不同生态区的适宜砧穗组合,促进苹果产业健康发展。
