Experimental infection of pups with Ancylostoma caninum-infected mouse tissues

Migration and distribution of Ancylostoma caninum larvae in the tissues of mice orally infected with 1000 larvae, and establishment of patent infection from the mice to the definitive host, were studied. Larval yield from different organs of mice, after digestion with artificial gastric juice, indicated that the highest recovery was at 4 h post-infection (62.8%), and thereafter a slight decline occurred up until 30 days post-infection (51.5%). Migration of larvae to the lungs occurred within 4 h, to the liver within 12 h and into the heart within 24 h. No larvae were recovered from spleen and kidney tissues. From the 9th day onwards larvae were also recovered from the brain. Migration in the muscles of head and neck occurred within 4 h, in the thoracic and abdominal muscles at 24 h and in lumbosacral and leg muscles at 48 h. The establishment of patent infections in the definitive host was studied by feeding the orally- and percutaneously-infected mice to hookworm-free pups at 10 and 30 days post-infection. The mean necropsy worm burden in the pups fed with the orally-infected mice was comparatively higher than in the pups fed cutaneously-infected mice.     

大黄素甲醚、大黄酸的研究进展

2014年世界卫生组织首份全球抗菌素耐药报告显示全世界面临严重的公共卫生威胁,2021年农业农村部制定了《全国兽用抗菌药使用减量化行动方案》(2021-2025),从国家层面实施综合治理策略和措施,鼓励替代抗菌药物的研制和创新。大黄素甲醚、大黄酸作为植物蒽醌类有效成分,具有抗微生物、抗炎、抗氧化、神经保护等药理作用,但对其抗菌、抗病毒、抗炎症相关的作用机制和产业化工艺缺少详细报道。本文对国内外已经发表的专利文献、期刊文献进行综述,总结其抗菌、抗病毒、抗炎作用机制及其生产工艺,以期为进一步开发利用提供科学支撑。

Isolation of Pasteurella haemolytica and correlation with serum antibody response in clinically normal beef calves

Bacteria from the nasal cavity and trachea were cultured, and serum antibody titers determined for Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 in 164 beef calves obtained from a closed herd on range pasture. At the first sampling, P. haemolytica serotype 1 was cultured from 16.4% of the calves. Antibody titers were determined by a quantitative fluorimetric method and the mean titer was 9.5 +/- 5.8. Fifty-seven randomly selected calves were used to study the correlation of serum antibody response and positive culture of P. haemolytica under natural conditions. Clinical signs of respiratory disease were not observed in those calves. During the observation periods, there was a two-fold increase in the percentage of calves that were culture positive. There was no significant difference between mean serum antibody titers or frequency distribution of antibody titers from the two samplings. Comparisons between serum antibody titers, rise in titers, and P. haemolytica isolation failed to reveal any significant correlation. Of the 9 calves that had a decline in antibody titer to P. haemolytica, none was culture positive. Seroconversion to respiratory viruses did not correlate with P. haemolytica related variables.

不断发展的中国草原畜牧业

总结了新中国成立60年来我国草原畜牧业的发展情况,指出我国已经探索出一条适合中国特色的草原畜牧业发展道路。草原畜牧业生产水平在不断提高,如牧区每年向农区提供育肥用牛羊达到3 000多万头;草原畜牧业生产结构不断优化;经营模式不断转变,产、加、销一体化格局正在加快形成;草原畜牧业发展基础日益牢固,仅2000年以来,国家对草原保护建设的投入已超过200亿元;草原畜牧业对生态安全和经济发展发挥了重要作用,局部地区生态环境已得到明显改善。但是,受草原生态安全问题,生猪型畜牧业生产特点和草原地区自身发展能力等因素的制约,草原畜牧业发展还面临许多突出矛盾和艰巨挑战。因此,应该积极应对客观矛盾和问题,牢牢把握当前发展的有利机遇,进一步推进草原畜牧业发展。     

青海省"西繁东育"工程经济、生态效益核算

针对农民关心的经济收益问题,核算了"西繁东育"的经济收入;同时,参考Robert Costanza对全球自然生态系统服务价值的核算以及谢高地等对中国草地生态系统服务价值和青藏高原生态资产价值的评估,对"西繁东育"工程带来的生态效益进行估算.藏系绵羊羔羊、淘汰母羊和牦牛牛犊西繁东育为农民带来的经济收益分别为38.98,47.12元/只和212.6元/头,而因此产生的生态效益价值高达5 301.85元/个羊单位和15 953.31元/头,在青海实施"西繁东育"不仅可以增加农民经济收入,提高牧户抗灾保畜能力,因此而产生的生态效益也非常可观.     

不同粗饲料品质（GI）与不同精料给量水平对奶牛生产性能影响的研究

为了完善二代GI技术标准体系,建立以粗饲料GI和产奶水平为参数的预测奶牛日粮科学精饲料给量模型。试验选取36头健康的泌乳中期中国荷斯坦奶牛,根据产奶量、泌乳天数、胎次相近的原则,随机分成3个大组,每个大组又分为3个小组,每个小组含4头奶牛。第1大组的粗饲料为黄贮,精、粗饲料比分别为55：45、57．5：42．5、60：40．标记为A1、A2、A3;第2大组为黄贮加羊草,精、粗饲料比分别为55：45、57．5：42．5、60：40,标记为B1、B2、B3;第3大组为全株玉米青贮加羊草,精、粗饲料比分别为55：45、57．5：42．5、60：40,标记为C1、C2、C3。研究不同粗饲料水平以及不同精料给量下,对泌乳奶牛生产性能的影响。结果表明,随着精料比例的增加,乳蛋白、乳糖和产奶量呈上升趋势．而乳脂呈下降趋势;精、粗饲料比对产奶量有显著影响（P〈0．05）,对乳成分有一定的影响（P〉0．05）;随着粗饲料品质（GI）的提高,乳脂和产奶量呈上升趋势,乳蛋白和乳糖呈下降趋势,但是对乳脂、乳蛋白和乳糖的影响不显著（P〉0．05）,对产奶量的影响显著（P〈0．05）。     

CLINICAL,DIAGNOSTIC, AND PATHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF 2 CASES OF METASTATIC IRIDOPHOROMA IN A VEILED CHAMELEON (CHAMAELEO CALYPTRATUS) AND A RED-BARRED DRAGON (CTENOPHORUS VADNAPPA)

Iridophores are iridescent cutaneous pigment cells found in reptiles, fish, and amphibians. Neoplasms of iridophores are rarely reported, and little is known about their behaviour, metastatic potential, and prognostic indicators. This paper reports details of the clinical course and pathological findings of metastatic iridophoroma in a veiled chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus) and red-barred dragon (Ctenophorus vadnappa). The veiled chameleon presented with a subcutaneous mass on the right lateral elbow and was diagnosed as an iridophoroma on fine needle aspiration. It was otherwise clinically normal. Within 35 days of excision, multiple secondary skin masses developed which were often non-pigmented and required microscopic examination to identify them as iridophoroma metastases. There were in total 54 days between the first detection of the primary mass and end stage, extensive cutaneous and visceral metastatic disease, and there had been no detectable primary mass during routine clinical examination 128 days prior to death. The red-barred dragon presented with a white sub-mandibular mass. While undergoing an excisional biopsy the animal expired, post-mortem examination revealed a cutaneous malignant iridophoroma with tumour cell clusters seen in pulmonary arterial vessels, suggesting that surgical handling of iridophoroma could precipitate the release of circulating tumour cell clusters. This is the first iridophoroma described in a red-barred dragon and the second report of a malignant iridophoroma in a veiled chameleon. Timely detection and careful excision of lizard iridophoroma may be an important factor in clinical outcome.
