Intra‐uterine Infection with Babesia bovis in a 2‐day‐old Calf

Infection with Babesia bovis was diagnosed in a 2‐day‐old female calf apparently transmitted in utero. The calf was born as the second calving to a cross‐bred beef cow permanently on pasture. Diagnosis was based upon identification of B. bovis in peripheral blood smears and clinical signs which included fever, jaundice, pale mucous membranes and convulsions. Anaemia, leucocytosis, thrombocytopenia and lymphocytosis were noted at the febrile acute stage of the disease. The blood smears revealed evidence of regeneration of toxic neutrophils with a left shift, severe spherocytosis and high degree of basophilic stippling. Elevated concentration of aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and creatine kinase were also noted, and were probably the result of haemolysis, dehydration and muscle damage because of recumbancy. Elevated total bilirubin concentration following haemolysis resulted in jaundice. The neurological symptoms observed were probably caused by sludging of parasitized erythrocytes in the brain capillaries. The calf recovered following treatment with diminazene aceturate and the recovery was followed up clinically, haematologically and biochemically.     

生沛素对皖系粗毛兔生产性能的影响

选择42日龄皖系粗毛兔幼兔42只,根据体重、性别,随机分成3组,分别饲喂含1‰、2‰生沛素日粮和对照组日粮.结果表明,添加1‰、2‰生沛素组产毛量比对照组分别提高17.5%(P＜0.01)和19.1%(P＜0.01);增重提高11.2%(P＜0.05)和12.5%(P＜0.05);每只兔一次产毛的经济效益比对照组分别提高2.96元和1.13元.另外,添加生沛素的试验组兔毛品质也比对照组有所提高和改善.

木瓜剖分原理研究及新机型设计

针对我国目前对木瓜剖半设备研究较少,剖切方式不合理,切割效果差等问题,设计开发了新型木瓜剖半机。该机切割方式选用滑切切割的方式,由运料系统、切割系统、出料系统组成,设计合理,结构简单。为此,计算了滑切角、切割角等主要切割参数,并给出了新型剖半机的主要技术参数。试验表明:该机切割效果好,能够有效提高生产效率。     

体外法评定不同组合酶制剂对饲料黏度的影响

试验采用胃蛋白酶-胰酶两步水解法，探讨非淀粉多糖（NSP）酶的组成及活性对特定蛋鸡日粮的黏度影响．从而筛选出对于特定组成蛋鸡日粮的最佳复合酶制剂配方．为针对特定地区日粮筛选优化NSP酶提供快捷有效的方法。试验以饲料黏度变化为检测指标．建立了NSP酶添加量与离体黏度的对应关系。结果表明：组合NSP酶作用效果显著优于单一NSP酶．日粮中NSP种类和含量决定了NSP酶的最佳酶谱和最适添加量．     

番鸭生长性状遗传参数的估测

对白羽番鸭RF系各阶段的生长性状进行表型分析和遗传参数估计。结果：各阶段的体重遗传力较高，日增重的遗传力中等，而0－70日龄料肉比和0－84日龄料肉比遗传力偏低。同时还表明，各阶段体重之间和日增重之间存在较强的正遗传相关，而各阶段日增重与料肉比之间存在不同程度的负遗传相关。生长性状遗传相关的变化范围在－0．824－0．912。     

鸡白血病病毒抗原ELISA试剂盒的研制和应用

以双抗体夹心酶联免疫吸附试验（ＤＡＳ－ＥＬＩＳＡ）为基本原理，成功地研制出鸡白血病病毒抗原ＥＬＩＳＡ试剂盒，该试剂盒与国外同类试剂盒相比，具备相同的特异性和敏感性，对ＲＡＶ－１纯化样品的最小检出量可达０．７８ｕｇ／ｍｌ，且敏感性高于直接补体结合试验。经初步应用发现，我国商品种鸡群ＡＬＶ阳性率为０．７－１４％，在部分ＳＰＦ鸡群中未检出阳性鸡。     

Epidemiological studies on the expectation of life for cats computed from animal cemetery records

Based on the Chiang's method, the life table for cats was constructed from the death data of 3936 cats. They died in the Kanto area and were buried in an animal cemetery in Tokyo from June 1981 through May 1982. This life table seems to be the first one for domestic pet cats. The expectation of life for cats was 4.2 years at age 0, 5.0 years at age 1, 5.4 years at age 4, 5.3 years at age 5, 3.5 years at age 10, and 2.2 years at age 15. The maximum age at death was 22 years. From age 0 to age 5, the probability of dying for cats was higher than that for dogs, but over 6 years of age it seemed that Gompertz's equation was applicable to this life table for cats. From these results, if the probability of dying for cats at early ages decreases, the fundamental pattern of dying curve for cats seems to be a similar figure of dogs. The life table was constructed for different breeds and localities. Comparing the expectation of life at age 1 (e1) of the two populations divided by breeds or localities, there was significant difference in the e1 among different localities but not among different breeds. These facts suggest the existence of some factors which may influence the life span of cats among different localities.
