利用家畜粪便有氧发酵生产有机肥的研究

畜禽场粪便污染已日益严重,如何利用这些废弃物资源已成为当务之急.本研究以牛粪和鸡粪为主要原料,经过接种EM活性菌在有氧条件下发酵腐熟,以缩短发酵时间为目的,分别对原料的含水量、原料翻堆次数进行了测定,结果表明:原料含水量在60%～65%,翻堆时间以45min/次为宜.发酵的腐熟度指标变化:(1)原料体积和重量减少1/3～1/2;(2)质感松软,颜色为暗棕黑色,无不良气味;(3)微细颗粒小于0.25mm,符合有机肥生产标准;(4)发酵自然温度稳定下降.     

高温条件下复合抗应激剂对肉鸡的影响

本文研究了高温条件下复合抗应激剂对肉鸡的影响。结果表明：经历３２ ℃一周的５ ～８ 周龄肉鸡采食量、增重、饲料转化率均显著下降（Ｐ＜ ０ ．０１） ,饮服复合抗应激剂显著改善增重和饲料转化率（Ｐ＜ ０ ．０１） , 采食量未见明显改变,饲料转化率达到常温水平。３２ ℃１６ 小时血浆皮质酮、Ｔ３ 显著下降（Ｐ＜ ０ ．０１） 、Ｔ４ 显著升高（Ｐ＜ ０ ．０１） ;３２ ℃１２０ 小时血浆皮质酮、Ｔ３ 升高并超出常温组（Ｐ＜ ０ ．０５） 、Ｔ４ 较１６ 小时下降但仍高出常温组（Ｐ＜ ０ ．０５） 。饮服复合抗应激剂时血浆皮质酮、Ｔ３ 、Ｔ４ 显现相同变化规律,但这种变化得到显著缓解     

Bats adjust temporal parameters of echolocation pulses but not those of communication calls in response to traffic noise

Many studies based on acute short‐term noise exposure have demonstrated that animals can adjust their vocalizations in response to ambient noise. However, the effects of chronic noise over a relatively long time scale of multiple days remain largely unclear. Bats rely mainly on acoustic signals for perception of environmental and social communication. Nearly all previous studies on noise‐induced vocal adjustments have focused on echolocation pulse sounds. Relatively little is known regarding the effects of noise on social communication calls. Here, we examined the dynamic changes in the temporal parameters of echolocation and communication vocalizations of Vespertilio sinensis when exposed to traffic noise over multiple days. We found that the bats started to modify their echolocation vocalizations on the fourth day of noise exposure, with an increase of 42–91% in the total number of pulse sequences per day. Under noisy conditions, the number of pulses within a pulse sequence decreased by an average of 17.2%, resulting in a significantly slower number of pulses/sequence (P < 0.001). However, there was little change in the duration of a pulse sequence. These parameters were not significantly adjusted in most communication vocalizations under the noise condition (all P > 0.05), except that the duration decreased and the number of syllables/sequences increased in 1 type of communicative vocalization (P < 0.05). This study suggests that bats routinely adjust temporal parameters of echolocation but rarely of communication vocalizations in response to noise condition.     

用特殊方法"煮过的谷物"能给仔猪带来多种好处

饲料生产者根据猪的消化能力来细心地设计各个饲养阶段的日粮,以达到帮助改善猪的生长性能和健康的目的.有人建议可采用＂煮过＂的有特别形状的谷物,这种谷物是通过调控颗粒分裂和蒸汽膨化而加工出来的商用性的品牌产品,这种产品不仅可用于断奶前（教槽）日粮,而且可以用于断奶后和其他畜禽日粮中.     

A Preliminary Comparison of Lidocaine and Xylazine as Epidural Analgesics in Ponies

Xylazine (0.35 mg/kg) or lidocaine (0.35 mg/kg) was injected into the epidural space of six ponies to compare their effectiveness as epidural analgesics. Each pony received both treatments at 1 week intervals with the order of treatments randomized. Xylazine produced analgesia of significantly longer duration (247 +/- 58 minutes) than that produced by an equal dose of lidocaine (135 +/- 22 minutes). Mild transient ataxia of no clinical significance developed in all ponies with both treatments. Spinal cords were removed from two ponies and examined histologically. No discernible pathologic changes were noted.     

草地生态系统安全及其评价研究

探讨了草地生态安全及其评价的概念与内涵,认为草地生态系统安全判断与度量准则应该是草地生态系统健康、草地生态系统服务功能及生态风险与管理的科学统一。同时尝试提出了草地生态系统安全评价的"健康-服务功能-风险与管理(health-service-risk and management,HSRM)"模型,构建了HSRM评价模型的指标体系,提出草地生态安全评价中草地生态安全度计算公式和安全状态分级标准。     

践踏和降水对环县典型草原土壤颗粒分维特征的影响

采用试验践踏与模拟降水控制试验,对16个不同试验组合样区表土(0~15 cm)质地的机械组成进行分析,结果表明,随着践踏强度增加,土壤颗粒表现出不同程度的粗化趋势,降水具有双向调节的作用。利用分形模型计算了土壤粒径分形维数,计算结果表明,分形维数指标与践踏强度呈负相关关系。但分形维数递减幅度与模拟降水处理水平相关,在模拟降水处理水平依次为干旱、自然降水、平水、丰水时,粒径分形维数递减幅度依次为4.33%,2.61%,1.34%和1.23%。降水与践踏的匹配关系,对形成确定的分形维数具有决定性作用。由于具有较高分形维数的土壤更易发生放牧侵蚀,若管理不善则会发展为荒漠化。因此,在此种意义上来说,土壤分形维数的测算对进一步研究放牧侵蚀机理和荒漠化形成过程可能具有推动作用。     

不同浓度氮酮、薄荷醇对盐酸特比萘芬体外经皮渗透作用的影响

为选择促进盐酸特比萘芬(TBF)透皮扩散作用的促渗剂,选用立式Franz扩散池,以犬离体皮肤为透皮屏障,通过计算含不同浓度氮酮(AZ)、薄荷醇(MT)组盐酸特比萘芬透皮试验的累积渗透量Q、稳态流速Jss、渗透系数Kp和增渗比ER等参数来比较促渗效果.结果显示试验中所有组别促渗剂都具有促渗作用,作用由强至弱依次为1%AZ**>5%MT**>3%AZ**>3%MT**>1%MT*>5%AZ*,其中薄荷醇组促渗效果与浓度呈线性正相关,而氮酮组则呈线性负相关.虽然各组促渗剂均起促进作用,但薄荷醇组的效果优于氮酮组,加之薄荷醇属天然物质,毒副作用低,所以更适合作为药物外用制剂的促渗剂.
