The prevalence and epidemiology ofAnoplocephala perfoliata infection in Norway

The caecum and the adjacent 30 cm lengths of ileum and large colon of 201 horses from two different regions of Norway (Østlandet and Trøndelag) were examined for the presence ofAnoplocephala perfoliata. In all, 20% of the horses were infested with the cestode (27% in Østlandet and 7% in Trøndelag). The mean number of worms in infected horses from the two regions was 18 and 6, respectively.Information was obtained on the age, sex, breed, type of pasture and anthelmintic treatment after the grazing season for 183 of the 20 horses. The degree of infestation withA. perfoliata was not influenced by age, breed or sex. The odds ratio (confidence limits) for using permanent pastures that had been grazed by horses for at least the 5 last years in succession was 8.8 (3.2–24.4). There was a significantly higher prevalence ofA. perfoliata infestation in Østlandet (odds ratio 3.1 (1.1–9.1). The relatively low prevalence ofA. perfoliata infestation in Norwegian horses compared to the reported prevalences in other countries and the differences in the prevalence between Østlandet and Trøndelag are discussed. Gross pathological examination identified lesions such as mucosal thickening, hyperaemia and/or erosions. These lesions were found in all of the infected horses, compared with only 5% of the non-infected horses.Examination of faecal samples from 26 of the infected horses detected cestode eggs in only three cases. It was concluded that faecal examination is an inadequate method for the diagnosis ofA. perfoliata infestation.

施用豆科绿肥对酸性土壤有机磷组分的动态影响

为科学施用绿肥,改良酸性土壤,采用尼龙袋法研究了施用豆科绿肥尖叶木蓝(Indigofera zollingeriana)、铺地木蓝(Indigofera spicata)、扁豆(Lablab purpureus)与链荚豆(Alysicarpus vaginalis)后,酸性土壤有机磷在1年内的动态变化.结果表明:4种绿肥均可显著增加土壤有机磷的总量,但尖叶木蓝的效果最好,铺地木兰的最差.链荚豆对土壤活性有机磷的提升效果最好,铺地木蓝的效果最差;尖叶木蓝对中等活性有机磷的提升效果最好,铺地木蓝的效果最差;4种绿肥均可显著降低土壤中稳性有机磷的含量,以铺地木蓝的幅度最大,尖叶木蓝的次之,其余2种最小;对于高稳性有机磷,以尖叶木蓝处理的含量增加幅度最大,其余3种在不同施肥阶段表现各异.在施肥时间方面,以施肥30 d效果最为显著,随后因绿肥种类的不同而有所差异.     

Methane production from thermophilic co‐digestion of dairy manure and waste milk obtained from therapeutically treated cows

Methane production from co‐digestion of dairy manure and waste milk, milk from cows treated with antibiotics for mastitis, was tested in a 2 × 4 factorial design. Four different waste milk percentages (w/w): 0% (SM), 10% (SMWM10), 20% (SMWM20) and 30% (SMWM30), were tested with two slurry percentages (w/w): 50% (A) and 25% (B) and the rest being manure at 55°C for 12 days in batch digesters. The results analyzed using a Gompertz model showed SMWM10 produced the highest methane production potential (P_m)/g volatile solids added followed by SM in both A and B. This P_m of SMWM10 in A and B was statistically non‐significant (P > 0.05). More than 96% of cefazolin‐resistant bacteria and 100% of multi‐drug‐resistant bacteria reductions were observed in all the treatments. Inclusion of waste milk at 10% in single stage digester enhances the methane production from dairy manure and could offer added benefit of waste milk treatment and disposal.     

重组植物乳杆菌生物学特性比较研究

试验对植物乳杆菌(Lactobacillus plantarum,Lp)出发菌与携带绿色荧光蛋白(green fluorescent protein,GFP)标记基因的重组植物乳杆菌(Lp-GFP)生物学特性进行了详细的比较研究,以便于深入开展益生菌植物乳杆菌在动物肠道内分布和定植规律的研究。结果显示,Lp和Lp-GFP生长曲线的变化趋势基本相同,其中Lp-GFP的生长速度略有滞后;Lp和Lp-GFP最适培养温度均为37 ℃,最适初始pH均为6.5;Lp和Lp-GFP耐高温、耐人工胃液、耐人工肠液和耐胆盐的特性趋势一致;Lp和Lp-GFP的抑菌特性无显著差异(P>0.05);除了红霉素,Lp和Lp-GFP对其他药物的敏感性基本没有发生变化。综上所述,植物乳杆菌的重组对其生物学特性没有显著的影响,这为重组标记菌株的后续培养和机理研究奠定了重要基础。     

6种热带亚热带豆科牧草抗寒性及营养品质比较

为了筛选华南地区适宜的优质冬季青饲料草种,本研究比较了旋扭山绿豆(Desmodium intortum)、大叶山蚂蟥(Desmodium laxiflorum)、异果山绿豆(Desmodium heterocarpum)、显脉山绿豆(Desmodium reticulatum)、糙毛假地豆(Desmodium heterocarpum var.strigosum)和柱花草(Stylosanthes guianensis)6种热带亚热带豆科牧草在广州越冬期的抗寒性及营养品质。结果表明,除柱花草外,其它5种豆科牧草均能保持青绿越冬,其中旋扭山绿豆和大叶山蚂蟥的叶绿素含量均显著高于其它牧草(P0.05)。旋扭山绿豆的净光合速率最高(P0.05),其次是大叶山蚂蟥(P0.05),因此这两种牧草具有相对较强的抗寒性;与其它牧草相比,旋扭山绿豆在冬季能保持较高的粗蛋白含量(15.99%~20.26%)(P0.05)以及较低的洗涤纤维(NDF 27.92%~30.89%、ADF 23.96%~27.06%)和缩合单宁含量(6.05~11.95mg·g~(-1))(P0.05),因而具有较高的营养价值。因此,旋扭山绿豆可以作为华南地区冬季豆科青饲料的潜在优选草种。     

科尔沁沙地典型沙丘植被光谱特性

采用Field Spec4(美国ASD)的便携式光谱仪对科尔沁5种典型沙丘植被的光谱曲线进行测量,并对其特征进行提取分析。结果表明,1)5种典型沙丘植被黄柳(Salix gordejevii)、冷蒿(Artemisia frigida)、麻黄(Herbal ephedrae)、差巴嘎蒿(Artemisia halodendron)和小叶锦鸡儿(Caragana microphylla)的光谱形态大致相同。根据原始光谱差异和多个光谱特征参数可以区分植被类型。"红边斜率"由高到低依次为冷蒿(0.99%)小叶锦鸡儿(0.68%)黄柳(0.59%)麻黄(0.58%)差巴嘎蒿(0.56%)。2)对差巴嘎蒿不同季节光谱反射率特性进行比较分析得知,随植被生长期推移,差巴嘎蒿呈现出"双峰"和"红移"现象,但该现象并不明显。由于研究区在7月份出现持续干旱,植被缺水严重,导致差巴嘎蒿的"红边位置"在7月6日出现微小浮动,显现两个"红边平台"。3)分析不同覆盖度下差巴嘎蒿的光谱特性,差巴嘎蒿的导数光谱呈现"双峰"特性,且当覆盖度大于40%时,"红边位置"与覆盖度并无直接联系,但"红边斜率"与覆盖度呈正比关系。对不同覆盖度下差巴嘎蒿光谱可见光波段的连续统去除,得到吸收深度随覆盖度的增加而增大,吸收峰面积随覆盖度的增加而减小,对覆盖度敏感性参数比较可知,研究该地区差巴嘎蒿覆盖度变化优先考虑吸收峰面积。因此,基于植被高光谱特性的分析,对于今后利用遥感监测沙丘植被长势、植被分类识别及反演植被覆盖度等的应用提供重要的参考价值。
