Effect of dietary supplementation of fish oil for lactating sows and weaned piglets on piglet Th polarization

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of dietary fish oil supplementation on piglet T helper cells (Th) polarization in relation to its impact on piglet serum interferon γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) concentrations and splenic expression of Th1/Th2 characteristic genes. The diets of 18 gestating sows were supplemented with 7% lard (C) (n = 10) or 7% fish oil (T) (n = 8) from 10 d before parturition to weaning. At weaning, a split plot experiment was designed, 56 piglets, 28 each from sows fed with fish oil diet or lard diet, were divided into four groups of 7 replicates (one female and one castrated male per replicate) based on both sow diet during lactation and post-weaning piglet diet (C had 7% lard and T had 7% fish oil): CC, CT, TC, TT, and were fed the 7% fish oil or lard diet from day 35 to day 70. Serum concentrations of IFN-γ and IL-10, and Th1/Th2 related genes expression levels in spleen were measured and analyzed. The results showed that piglets fed with fish oil diet during post-weaning tended to have higher serum IFN-γ/IL-10 ratio (P = 0.09) than lard diet fed piglets. Lactation fish oil feeding increased splenic IL-12b, IL-12 receptor β2 (IL-12Rβ2), IL-2 and IFN-γ genes expression (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) and post-weaning fish oil feeding increased splenic IL-12b (P = 0.06), IL-2 (P < 0.01) and IFN-γ (P = 0.08) mRNA expression than that in lard diet fed piglets at the end of this experiment. On the other hand, IL-4 gene expression (P = 0.01) in spleen was lower in weaned piglet from fish oil diet fed sows than that from lard diet fed sows. However, post-weaning piglets fed fish oil diet had higher splenic IL-4 (P = 0.06), IL-6 (P < 0.01) and IL-10 (P = 0.05) mRNA abundances than that fed with lard diet. These results indicated that dietary fish oil during lactation could increase Th1 polarization and accelerate immune maturation; while 7% fish oil in weaned piglets' diet was likely to increase Th2 cytokines expression.

模拟酸雨与Cd对紫萼膜脂过氧化及形态特征的影响

为了解酸雨与Cd复合污染对紫萼膜脂过氧化及形态特征的影响,本试验采用土培的方式,人工模拟pH分别为6.5,5.5,4.5,3.5,2.5梯度酸雨与不同浓度(0,10,30,50,100 mg/kg)Cd复合胁迫紫萼,从植物形态特征,质膜过氧化,抗氧化方面的响应研究复合污染对植物的生理生态影响特点。结果表明,复合污染比单一污染对植物伤害更大,二者间存在明显的交互作用,并非简单的加和作用,更多地表现为协同作用,高强度复合污染对紫萼的影响更大。紫萼对低强度酸雨和低浓度Cd污染有一定耐受性。Cd对植物的影响比酸雨更显著,是复合污染下造成植物伤害的主要因素。CAT活性对Cd污染比SOD敏感;Cd浓度为30 mg/kg和酸雨pH=3.5是植物可见伤害的临界值。综合各指标对复合污染的响应,紫萼可作为酸雨区土壤Cd污染背景下修复植物的选择。     

不同过瘤胃淀粉和脂肪日粮对热应激奶牛生产性能和能量代谢的影响

试验研究了3种不同比例过瘤胃淀粉和脂肪日粮对泌乳中期热应激奶牛的影响。选择泌乳中期奶牛54头,根据产奶量、分娩时间和胎次随机区组分为低过瘤胃淀粉高脂肪组(PF101)、中过瘤胃淀粉中脂肪组(PF131)和高过瘤胃淀粉低脂肪组(PF161)3个处理组,处理组日粮的能量、蛋白相近。试验期间牛舍平均温湿指数为79.35。结果表明:PF161组较PF101组奶牛产奶量有所提高,乳蛋白含量较PF101组显著升高(P0.05),且泌乳净能有高于PF101组的趋势,PF161组奶牛乳中F∶P(脂肪蛋白比)显著低于PF101组(P0.05);PF161组奶牛血液中T4显著高于PF101组(P0.05),PF101组奶牛血液中胰高血糖素含量较PF161组和PF131组有升高趋势,总之高过瘤胃淀粉低脂肪日粮对泌乳中期热应激奶牛的泌乳性能和能量代谢均有一定改善作用。

猪圆环病毒2型云南株分离鉴定及ORF2序列分析

本研究根据GenBank中已经发表的猪圆环病毒2型基因序列,设计了2对PCV2特异性引物,从疑似断奶仔猪多系统衰竭综合征(postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome,PMWS)感染病例中检测出3株云南省PCV2流行株,通过ve-ro细胞分离病毒,并用透射电子显微镜观察到了约17nm的病毒样粒子的存在。经同源性比较分析,3个分离株之间核苷酸同源性为99.5%～99.8%,与甘肃省PCV2分离株核苷酸同源性最低(90.7%),浙江省分离株核苷酸同源性最高(99.7%),与南美洲分离株核苷酸同源性最低(92.0%),瑞典分离株核苷酸同源性最高(99.4%),这可能与云南省猪种引进有关。

Effect of system of feeding and watering on performance of lactating sows

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of ad libitum access to feed and water and the option to mix feed and water, all in the same feeder, on the performance of multiparous lactating sows. Feed and water were made available to sows using a self-fed wet/dry (SFWD) or a hand-fed (HF) feed-water system. In the SFWD system, feed and water were dropped into a common trough area of the feeder. The sow determined when and how much of each was dropped. With feed falling onto the flat area of the bottom of the SFWD feeder trough and water falling into the shallow bowl area, and with the 2 areas seamlessly connected, the sow also determined the wetness of the feed consumed. In the HF system, sows were given dry feed twice daily in a J-shaped feeder that was independent of the sow's water source. Sows (n = 114) were assigned to treatments based on parity and genotype. Total feed disappearance per sow during lactation (20 +/- 0.2 d) was greater (P < 0.01) with the SFWD system than with the HF system (120 vs. 110 +/- 4.1 kg, respectively). The SFWD sows had greater (P < 0.01) BW gains during lactation than HF sows (6.2 vs. 0.6 +/- 1.85 kg, respectively). Backfat depth change during lactation did not differ (P = 0.37) between treatments. Likewise, percentage of sows displaying estrus by d 11 post-weaning did not differ (P = 0.51). Piglet weaning BW was greater (P < 0.01) with the SFWD system than with the HF system (6.63 vs. 6.12 +/- 0.22 kg, respectively). Sow average daily water intake and total feed wastage during lactation did not differ (P > 0.66) between treatments. However, sows with the SFWD system wasted less water (P < 0.01) than those with the HF system (15 vs. 232 +/- 12 L, respectively). From a commercial swine production perspective, the difference in waste water volume would result in a significant variation in costs associated with manure storage and distribution. In conclusion, use of a SFWD feed-water system in lactation, which provides sows choices of when to eat, how much to eat, and if dry feed should be mixed with water during consumption, enhances sow appetite, improves litter growth performance, and wastes less water than a HF feed-water system.
