Comparison and relation among different estimates of residual feed intake for Japanese Black (Wagyu) bulls 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Residual feed intake (RFI) was estimated by ordinary regression (RFIord), linear regression (RFIreg), and genetic regression (RFIgen) for Japanese Black bulls, and compared among them by the magnitude of correlations, heritabilities, and empirical mean squared errors. The estimations were made for a total test periods of 140 days (77 bulls) and 112 days (663 bulls) sub‐divided each into two equal stages: first half and second half of the test periods. The means of RFIreg, RFIord, and RFIgen for the total test periods were 1.09, ?0.05, and ?2.21 kg/day, respectively. The genetic variation exists for these estimates at different stages of the test period. High genetic and phenotypic correlations (>0.95) were found between RFIord and RFIgen, confirming that these are regarded practically as the same traits. The phenotypic variance (0.714) and heritability (0.24) of RFIord were close to those of RFIgen (0.726 and 0.25, respectively). According to the empirical mean squared errors from the result of the total test periods, RFIgen yielded better estimates of RFI. The high to moderate heritabilities for RFIord were estimated for the three stages of the test periods, indicating that RFIord might be an alternative estimate for genetic improvement of feed utilization. 相似文献

The Liliaceous perennial Tricyrtis hirta, sometimes called ‘Japanese toad lily’, has recently become popular as an ornamental for pot and garden uses. Highly embryogenic callus cultures of this plant predominately consisted of diploid cells but also contained tetraploid cells after 1 year of establishment. In the present study, plans regenerated from the 1-year-old embryogenic callus cultures were subjected to ploidy level analysis and morphological characterization following 3 years of cultivation. Among 37 plants examined, 28 kept the diploid level (2n = 2x = 26) but nine were tetraploid (2n = 4x = 52) as indicated by FCM analysis and chromosome observation. Although no morphological alterations were detected in 26 out of 28 diploid regenerants, the remaining two showed noticeable variations: both were severely dwarf and had crimped leaves and many malformed flowers. The tetraploid regenerants had several horticulturally attractive characteristics compared with the diploid controls, such as longer shoots, thicker stems, and larger flowers. Thus regeneration of tetraploid plants from 1-year-old embryogenic callus cultures offers a possibility to improve the horticultural value of T. hirta, although regeneration of trueness-to-type plants is essential for utilizing the cultures for micropropagation and genetic transformation. 相似文献

In human erythema multiforme (EM), cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play an essential role in the pathogenesis. In canine EM, immunohistochemical staining with anti-CD8 antibody using frozen sections has shown the involvement of CTLs; however, CTL infiltration has never been quantitatively analyzed. We herein quantitatively analyzed CTL infiltration by immunohistochemical staining with granzyme B and CD3 antibodies using paraffin sections of a dog with EM associated with zonisamide. The present results indicated approximately 70% of cells at the border between the epidermis and dermis consisted of CTLs. Detection of granzyme B and CD3 using paraffin sections employed in this study can be a clinically applicable method for detecting CTLs. 相似文献

A 13-year-old spayed female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel presented with chronic swelling and pruritus on the palmar aspect of the left forepaw and on the tail. Cutaneous epitheliotropic lymphoma (CEL) was diagnosed by histopathology and immunocytochemistry. Prednisolone was initially used alone as an alternative treatment for CEL. Despite long-term corticosteroid therapy, the patient’s physiological (pruritus) and dermatological signs (alopecia, erythema, erosion, and ulceration with crust) progressed and showed no evidence of improvement. To address the worsening condition of pruritus, lokivetmab was started in combination with prednisolone. Once on lokivetmab, the pruritus steadily improved and was effective in resolving and maintaining remission. Further investigation on the critical role of IL-31 in the pruritus pathway of dogs with CEL is required. 相似文献

To evaluate the selenium (Se) level in agricultural soils in Japan and to investigate its determining factors, 180 soil samples were collected from the surface layer of paddy or upland fields in Japan and their total Se contents were determined. Finely ground soil (50 mg) was wet-digested with HNO3 and HClO4 solution and the released Se was reduced to Se(IV). The concentration of Se(IV) was then determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with a fluorescence detector after treatment with 2,3-diaminonaphthalene and extraction with cyclohexane. The total Se content ranged from 0.05 to 2.80 mg kg−1 with geometric and arithmetic means of 0.43 and 0.51 mg kg−1 , respectively. The overall data showed a log-normal distribution. In terms of soil type, volcanic soils and peat soils had relatively high Se content and regosols and gray lowland soils had relatively low Se content. In terms of land use, upland soils had significantly higher Se content than paddy soils. Among regions, soils in the Kanto, Tohoku, Hokkaido and Kyushu regions had relatively high content. The total Se content had a significant positive correlation with the organic carbon content ( P < 0.01) and the equation for the estimation of total Se content with organic carbon suggested that on average approximately 48% (0.24 mg kg−1 ) of the total Se was in inorganic forms and approximately 52% (0.25 mg kg−1 ) was in organic forms. Soil pH, on the contrary, did not show a significant relationship with the total Se content. In conclusion, the organic matter content, in combination with volcanic materials, was the main determining factor of the total Se content of agricultural soils in Japan. 相似文献

The secretions of the equine endometrial glands are essential for the survival, growth,
and development of the conceptus in early pregnancy, and endometrial gland density is
directly related to successful pregnancy outcome. Endometrial biopsy is routinely used to
assess the reproductive potential of broodmares. Some previous studies have shown that
equine endometrial glands are uniformly distributed throughout the uterus; however, other
work has shown variation of the endometrial architecture between biopsy sites, suggesting
that a single biopsy is not representative of the entire endometrium. The aims of this
study were to assess and compare the endometrial gland density and thickness at four
sampling sites in the uterus (the central segment of each uterine horn, the uterine
horn-body junction, and the caudal portion of the uterine body). Endometrial samples from
five nulliparous Thoroughbred mares in diestrus were obtained at necropsy and used for
subsequent histomorphometric analysis. The caudal uterine body had a significantly lower
endometrial gland density and endometrial thickness than the other sites. This may result
in nutrient deprivation and reduced survival of embryos or fetuses in this region of the
uterus. The endometrial gland density and endometrial thickness did not significantly
differ between the other regions sampled, indicating that they are similarly suitable for
embryonic implantation and fetal development. Our results suggest that the endometrial
structure of the caudal uterine body of the mare is not representative of the endometrial
morphology at other sites. Thus, the caudal uterine body is not a suitable site for
routine endometrial biopsy. 相似文献

An experiment was conducted with 16 Japanese Black cows to determine the effects of different days on feed (89, 208, 271 and 341 days), inclusion levels of grain in concentrate (60% vs. 40%; dry matter (DM) basis) and roughage sources (hay vs. rice straw) on finishing performance. Additional four cows were slaughtered at 0 days on feed to obtain non‐fed carcass data. Maximum carcass weights were observed in cows fed for 271 days; an increase in carcass weight of only 14 kg was shown from 208 days to 271 days. The marbling score increased (P < 0.05) with days on feed. The percentage of fat in the subprimal rib linearly increased (P < 0.05) with days on feed. The percentage of lean meat was higher (P < 0.05) for cows fed rice straw than for cows fed hay as a roughage source. Increasing the days on feed decreased (P < 0.05) the yellowness of the fat. The effects of the inclusion levels of grain in concentrate on the finishing performance of cows were lower than the other two factors. In conclusion, feeding improves carcass values, but feeding over 208 days is an inefficient system of production in cows. 相似文献

This study was conducted to evaluate the importance of maternal effect on body measurement traits at an early stage of growth, and to estimate the genetic relationships between direct and maternal effects and among body measurement traits at 0 month (0‐mo) and 4 months (4‐mo) of age in a population of Japanese Black calves. Body measurements and body weight of 889 Japanese Black calves were estimated with the use of an animal model by the Residual Maximum Likelihood procedure. Direct heritabilities were low to moderate, ranging between 0.17 ± 0.09 and 0.48 ± 0.13 at 0‐mo, and slightly lower, ranging between 0.15 ± 0.07 and 0.33 ± 0.13 at 4‐mo. Estimated maternal heritabilities were low to moderate, ranging between 0.08 ± 0.07 and 0.33 ± 0.07 at 0‐mo and 0.13 ± 0.06 to 0.33 ± 0.06 at 4‐mo. The direct genetic correlations between 0‐mo and 4‐mo were moderate to highly positive, ranging from 0.53 ± 0.23 to 0.96 ± 0.09. The estimated direct genetic correlation of chest width with other width traits was low and positive at both ages, whereas with hip width it was high and positive (0.80 ± 0.09) at 0‐mo, suggesting that simultaneous improvement of body width of the front and back parts is possible. Maternal genetic effects were relatively independent of direct genetic effects for body measurement traits and can be considered in genetic evaluation. 相似文献

During surveillance for bovine diarrhea of unknown causes in Japanese black cattle in Kagoshima Prefecture,
Japan, we found two types of novel kobu-like viruses in fecal samples of calves. Sequence analyses revealed
that they had L protein and 2A protein with H-box/NC sequence motif, which are present in kobuviruses.
Phylogenetic analysis revealed that they were related to kobuviruses; however, they clustered apart from other
kobuviruses. In the prevalence study of two types of novel kobu-like viruses, 16.9% and 10.4% prevalence of
these viruses were observed in the feces of diarrheal calves in this area. 相似文献
