从文昌鸡发展看原产地保护制度对家禽业的促进作用

2005年中央“一号文件”提出，要“加大对特色农产品的保护力度，加快推行原产地等标识制度”。原产地保护制度是WTO为了保护各成员国民族工业和农业产品所实施的一项重要法规，是知识产权法律制度中的一个重要内容，也是世界上许多国家的通行做法。原产地保护制度具有多方面的作用，特别是在保护具有地方特色名牌产品的知识产权和促进具有地方特色名牌产品的发展方面具有突出的作用，从文昌鸡的发展可见一斑。     

Effects of guanidinoacetic acid on growth performance,creatine metabolism and plasma amino acid profile in broilers

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) on growth performance, creatine deposition and blood amino acid (AA) profile on broiler chickens. In Exp. 1, a total of 540 one‐day‐old Arbor Acres male broilers (average initial body weight, 45.23 ± 0.35 g) were divided randomly into five treatments with six replicates of 18 chicks each. Broilers were fed corn–soybean meal‐basal diets supplemented with 0, 600, 800, 1,000 or 1,200 mg/kg GAA for 42 days respectively. Results showed that dietary GAA inclusion increased average daily gain (ADG) and improved gain‐to‐feed ratio (G:F) from 1 to 42 days (p < 0.01). However, average daily feed intake was unaffected by dietary supplementation of GAA. As GAA inclusion increased, the contents of creatine in plasma and kidney were increased (linear, p < 0.01), while the contents of GAA and creatine in liver were decreased (linear, p < 0.01). Similarly, GAA supplementation was inversely related to concentrations of most essential AA in plasma. In Exp. 2, a total of 432 one‐day‐old Arbor Acres male broilers (average initial body weight, 39.78 ± 0.58 g) were divided randomly into four treatments with six replicates of 18 chicks each. Birds were fed a corn–soybean meal‐basal diet supplemented with 0, 200, 400 or 600 mg/kg GAA for 42 days respectively. Dietary inclusion of 600 mg/kg GAA significantly increased ADG and G:F of broilers (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of 600–1,200 mg/kg GAA can effectively improve the growth performance in broiler chickens by affecting creatine metabolism and utilization efficiency of essential AA, and 600 mg/kg GAA is the minimum dose for improving performance.     

Association of RBP‐4 gene polymorphisms with follicular cysts in large white sows

Follicular cysts, which is a common infertility disease, can cause financial losses in pig breeding programmes. The pathogenesis and mechanisms of the formation of follicular cysts are not understood clearly. In our previous study, the concentration of retinol‐binding protein 4 (RBP‐4) in the follicular fluid (FF) of the ovary with follicular cysts was found to be significantly higher than that of normal ovary, thereby suggesting that RBP‐4 may be a candidate biomarker for porcine follicular cysts. To study the association of RBP‐4 and follicular cysts further, we detected the polymorphisms of the RBP‐4 gene and the presence of follicular cysts by PCR‐Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay. In this study, we screened the mutations of RBP‐4 gene in 79 sows with follicular cysts and 100 normal sows without cysts. Results showed that +249‐63G>C polymorphisms were significantly associated with follicular cysts, and sows with CC genotype in RBP‐4 gene had a high risk of developing follicular cysts. Hence, our findings further proved that RBP‐4 may be a novel biomarker for follicular cysts, which may be valuable for the diagnosis of follicular cysts and molecular breeding of pigs.     

以GIS为基础的禽流感预测预警研究进展

GIS是一种对地理环境等方面数据进行储存、分析、加工和呈现的综合工具。利用GIS可以把流感病例的相关数据与气候、环境和社会等数据进行整合和分析,通过统计学或数学模型,找到影响流感发生和传播的风险因素,对流感的发生趋势进行预测和可视化预警。国内外学者利用GIS在禽流感风险因素分析和预测等方面做了大量研究,包括对人感染H7N9流感、高致病性H5亚型禽流感、野禽流感风险因素和预测的研究,不同基因型病毒分布特征的研究,兽医决策辅助应用研究等。这些研究对指导兽医流行病学研究人员将GIS更好地应用于禽流感防控具有帮助意义。     

犬副流感病毒D121004株的分离鉴定及其F基因遗传进化分析

为了给犬副流感病毒(CPIV)疫苗研制提供支持,无菌采集有呼吸道症状病死犬的脑和肺脏样品,处理后接种Marc-145细胞,通过RT-PCR、红细胞吸附试验,对盲传3代的细胞培养液进行鉴定,成功分离到1株CPIV。该病毒能使Marc-145细胞出现细胞病变,且具有吸附鸡红细胞的能力,将其命名为CPIV-D121004株。对该毒株的F糖蛋白全基因进行克隆及核苷酸同源性分析并构建遗传进化树,发现分离株的F基因较为保守,未出现大的遗传变异。今后需要对分离株的免疫原性进行研究,以探究其作为候选疫苗株的潜力。
