Changes in nutrient balance,methane emissions,physiologic biomarkers,and production performance in goats fed different forage-to-concentrate ratios during lactation

The objective was to determine the effect forage-to-concentrate (F:C) ratio and stage of lactation on methane emissions, digestibility, nutrient balance, lactation performance, and metabolic responses in lactating goats. Twenty Murciano-Granadina dairy goats were used in an experiment divided into 3 periods: early (30 d), mid (100 d), and late (170 d) lactation. All goats were fed a diet with 35:65 F:C (FCL) during early-lactation. Then, 1 group (n = 10 goats) remained on FCL through mid- and late-lactation while the other group (n = 10 goats) was fed a diet with 50:50 F:C at mid-lactation (FCM) and 65:35 (FCH) at late lactation. A greater proportion of concentrate in the diet was associated with greater overall intake and digestibility (P < 0.05). Energy balance was negative in early-lactation (−77 kJ/kg of BW^0.75, on average) and positive for FCL at mid- and late-lactation (13 and 35 kJ/kg of BW^0.75, respectively). Goats fed FCM and FCH maintained negative energy balance throughout lactation. Plasma concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids at mid-lactation were greater for FCM than FCL (680 mEq/L), and at late-lactation concentrations were greater for FCH and FCL (856 mEq/L). A similar response was detected for plasma β-hydroxybutyrate. Methane emission was greater (P < 0.05) for FCM than FCH (1.7 g CH₄/d). This study demonstrated that differences in F:C across stages of lactation lead to distinct metabolic responses at the level of the rumen and tissues.     

杜洛克与二花脸杂交猪群体SNP偏分离分析

偏分离（TRD）是生物中普遍存在的现象,本研究拟在高密度基因芯片判断基因型的大规模群体中挖掘猪基因组标记位点的偏分离位点并探究其潜在的遗传机制。本研究用60K Illumina Porcine SNP芯片对1 020头F2资源家系（杜洛克与二花脸杂交F0-F2群体）进行基因型分型,用偏分离分析软件TRDscan （BF>100）和TDT （P<0.01）方法在单个位点上检测偏分离信号,并对二者共有的显著信号位点附近100 kb窗口的基因进行功能分析。此外,本研究还利用单倍型分型的软件包PHASEBOOK采用多位点连锁分析的策略分析了父源和母源配子中的偏分离区域,并在该区域内搜寻潜在的QTLs。结果表明：1）在单位点的偏分离分析中共鉴定到44个显著的偏分离位点,筛选到23个相关基因;对父本和母本特异性偏分离效应进行分析时,分别鉴定到27和35个显著偏分离位点,其中,分别有11和25个位点的100 kb附近有已注释的功能基因。2）基于单倍型多位点连锁的偏分离结果显示,父本显著偏分离位点位于5和13号染色体上,在该偏分离区域内搜寻功能相关的QTL,共搜寻到3个与繁殖性状（木乃伊数、产活仔数、黄体数）有关的QTLs;分析母本偏分离位点时,在4、6和12号染色体上定位到显著偏分离区域,结合已知的猪QTL数据库,共找到了5个与繁殖性状相关的QTLs。本研究利用大规模猪家系数据系统地鉴别了猪基因组的偏分离位点,为解析猪中的偏分离现象和进一步探究其生物学机制提供了一定的参考作用。     

鸡胚蛋重比作为评价传染性支气管炎病毒致侏儒化指标的研究

在鸡胚上接种鸡传染性支气管病毒（M41、H120、HN99株）后6 d内,每天称量胚体和各自种蛋的重量,计算胚体/种蛋重量的比值（EE值）。EE值与未接种病毒的对照组鸡胚相比,计算出最小感染量,EE指数通过接种过IBV的鸡胚EE值和对照组EE值相比计算出来。结果表明,在接种M41株和HN99株后第4天EE值与对照组差异显著,在接种H120株后第5天EE值与对照组差异显著,可初步判定是被传染性支气管炎病毒感染,这种方法可更快更有效的观察胚体损伤程度,尤其适用于需经传代才能看到矮小化现象的野毒株。     

复合微生态制剂对苏牧白鹅雏鹅生长性能的试验研究

试验研究复合微生态制剂对雏鹅生长性能的影响。采用单因素随机设计,将160只1日龄健康苏牧白鹅仔鹅,随机分为4个处理,每个处理4个重复,每个重复10只,公母各半。0-3周龄雏鹅饲喂两种不同营养水平的饲料,观察其对雏鹅日增重、饲料报酬的影响。结果表明：雏鹅日增重、饲料转化率复合微生态制剂组显著高于不添加组。随着复合微生态制剂添加量的增加,肉鹅的日增重和日采食量均上升的趋势,料重比呈下降后的趋势,其中试验3组的日增重与采食量最高,但与对照组差异显著,与试验1组、试验2组差异显著（P〈0.05）;试验1组与试验2组差异不显著（P〉0.05）;料重比的变化趋势与平均日增重相同。     

Breed differences in the proportional morbidity of testicular tumours and distribution of histopathologic types in a population-based canine cancer registry

Histologically verified tumours submitted to the Norwegian Canine Cancer Register from 1990 to 1998 were studied (n=14,401). The proportion of testicular tumours (n=345) was 2.4%, and the breakdown of histological tumour diagnoses is presented. The frequency of the most common histopathological types was 33% interstitial (Leydig), 26.4% Sertoli and 33.9% seminomas/germ cell tumours. The average age at diagnosis was 10 years, but was significantly lower for Sertoli cell tumours (8.6 years) than for the other tumour types. Following a histopathological re-evaluation, 22.5% of the original tumor diagnoses were modified. Proportional morbidity ratios were calculated and individuals from the breeds Shetland sheepdog and Collie were five times more likely to have testicular tumours than the overall average for the registry. Breed differences in the distribution of histopathologic types were observed. Shetland sheepdog and Collie were most commonly diagnosed with Sertoli cell tumours, while all tumours from Norwegian elkhound in this material were seminomas.     

自然环境下不同秋眠型苜蓿PHYA和PHYBmRNA表达量的变化

为揭示光敏色素如何响应外界环境及作用机理,并探讨其与苜蓿（Medicago）秋眠性的关系,以田间自然生长条件下的不同秋眠类型紫花苜蓿标准对照品种Norseman（FD1）, Archer（FD5）和CUF101（FD9）为材料,应用RT-PCR测定在6月、8月、9月、11月采集的叶片PHYA和PHYB mRNA含量。结果表明：从6 月到11月,随着光照时间的逐渐缩短和温度的降低,3个不同秋眠类型紫花苜蓿品种PHYA和PHYB的mRNA含量均呈上升趋势,且PHYA mRNA含量比PHYB mRNA的含量高;除了6月份,其他月份均是随着紫花苜蓿秋眠性的提高,PHYA和PHYB mRNA表达呈上调趋势,且不同秋眠类型间的差距越来越大。据此推测PHYA和PHYB在苜蓿响应外界环境改变过程中起一定的作用,二者基因的转录受光周期与温度因子的调控,且随着光周期的缩短与温度的降低其mRNA量升高,PHYA和PHYB很可能参与了光周期与温度对紫花苜蓿秋眠性的调控。     

低温条件下混合乳酸菌制剂对芦苇发酵品质的影响

为探讨低温条件下混合乳酸菌制剂对芦苇(Phragmites australis Cav.Trin.ex Sterd.)发酵品质的影响,对含水量为40%的芦苇添加混合乳酸菌制,分别设计4℃和0℃的发酵温度,密封发酵,分别取3,4,5,6,7和8周的发酵样品分析。结果表明:在0℃条件下,发酵后第5周pH值出现显著下降(P<0.05),第8周NDF含量显著降低(P<0.05)。在4℃条件下,发酵第3周起pH值一直保持在4.20以下。在相同发酵时间内,4℃条件比0℃条件时的pH值显著降低(P<0.05),乳酸菌数量、乳酸产量显著提高(P<0.05),乙酸产量显著降低(P<0.05)。在低温条件下,对每克干物质添加6.63(lg CFU·g^-1DM)的混合乳酸菌,可使含水量为40%的芦苇启动发酵。为保证得到优良发酵质量,发酵时间应在6周以上。
