非繁殖季节奶山羊同期发情处理效果研究

为了探讨两种同期发清处理方法和不同年龄阶段对非繁殖季节奶山羊同期发情效果的影响,选用12∽15月龄初产奶山羊和4∽5胎经产奶山羊分为两组,采用孕激素耳栓埋植和阴道栓塞两种处理,并辅以肌注PMSG及PG-CL、E2,每组试验重复2次.结果显示：孕激素耳栓埋植法和阴道栓塞法两种同期发情处理方法处理初产组奶山羊总发情率分别达到87.5％和100.0％,经产组分别达到77.8％和83.3％,均无显著差异（P＞0.05）.但两种方法0∽24 h内的同期发情率初产组阴道栓法平均为94.1％,耳栓法平均为37.5％,差异显著（P＜0.05）,经产组阴道栓法平均为61.1％,耳栓法平均为44.4％,差异亦显著（P＜0.05）;无论初产、经产组奶山羊阴道栓法处理0∽24 h内的同期发情率（分别为94.1％、61.1％）显著高于24∽36 h发情率（分别为5.9％、22.2％）（P＜0.05）.用阴道栓同一种方法处理初产和经产奶山羊,初产组24 h的同期发情率（86.7％）显著高于经产组（60.0％）（P＜0.05）.阴道栓法处理同期发情效果优于耳栓法,初产奶山羊的同期发情效果优于经产奶山羊.     

奶牛产奶前期营养调控研究

通过对奶牛日粮代谢能、粗蛋白质和粗饲料类型3个营养因素对产奶前期奶牛100d产奶量影响的测定,确定日粮代谢能是起主导作用的因素。本试验ME:11.0MJ/kg,CP:12.0,粗饲料为全株玉米青贮饲料加玉米秸,奶牛100d产奶量可达到2907kg,平均日产奶29.07kg/d,全日粮料奶比为0.69:1,相当于精饲料产奶比0.31:1。根据上述试验结果和吉林西部的气候与饲料资源特点,笔者推荐在奶牛产奶前期生产中使用ME:10.0MJ/kg,CP:10.5的日粮,尽量不使用稻草作为奶牛产奶前期的主要粗饲料。     

奶牛免疫功能的影响因素

影响奶牛免疫功能的因素复杂,围产期、能量负平衡以及饲料蛋白质、维生素、某些微量元素的缺乏会引起的奶牛出现免疫功能的降低,饲料中添加某些维生素、微量元素、壳聚糖、酵母细胞壁等添加剂可以增强奶牛的免疫功能,此外,某些中药也可增强奶牛的免疫功能。

The effect of life history events on carcass merit and price of cull dairy cows

Cull dairy cows contribute almost 10% of national beef production in the United States. However, different factors throughout the life of dairy cows affect their weight and overall body condition as well as carcass traits, and consequently affect their market price. Therefore, the objectives of this study were: (1) to assess relationships between price ratio and carcass merit of cull dairy cows sold through several sites of an auction market and (2) to investigate the effect of animal life history events and live weight on sale barn price (BP) and price ratio (as a measure of relative price), as an indicator of carcass merit. Data from 4 dairy operations included 3,602 cull dairy cow records during the period of 2015 to 2019. Life history events data were collected from each dairy operation through Dairy Comp software; live weight and price were obtained periodically from the auction market, and the carcass data were provided by a local packing plant. Cow price in dollars per unit of live weight ($/cwt) and price ratio were the 2 outcome variables used in the analyses. Price ratio was created aiming to remove seasonality effects from BP (BP divided by the national average price for its respective month and year of sale). The association between price ratio and carcass merit traits was investigated using canonical correlation analysis, and the effect of life history events on both BP and price ratio was inferred using a multiple linear regression technique. More than 70% of the cows were culled in the first 3 lactations, with an average live weight of 701.5 kg, carcass weight of 325 kg, and dressing percentage of 46.3%. On average, cull cows were sold at $57.0/cwt during the period considered. The canonical correlation between price ratio and carcass merit traits was 0.76, indicating that price ratio reflected carcass merit of cull cows. Later lactations led to lower BP compared with cows culled during the first 2 lactations. Injury, and leg and feet problems negatively affected BP. Productive variables demonstrated that the greater milk production might lead to lower cow prices. A large variation between farms was also noted. In conclusion, price ratio was a good indicator of carcass merit of cull cows, and life history events significantly affected sale BP and carcass merit of cull cows sold through auction markets.     

戴瑞奶绵羊产奶性状的全基因组关联分析

旨在通过对奶绵羊产奶性状的全基因组关联分析（GWAS）,寻找和定位与奶绵羊产奶性状相关的遗传标记和功能基因。本研究以135只戴瑞奶绵羊为试验材料,基于全基因组重测序技术,通过SAMTOOLS进行单核苷酸多态性（SNP）检测,使用PLINK v1.90进行质控,利用GEMMA v 0.98.1的混合线性模型对质控结果进行奶绵羊产奶性状相关的全基因组关联分析。结果表明,有1个SNP与泌乳后90天日均产奶量在全基因组范围内显著相关,8个SNPs达到潜在显著关联,相关的候选基因包括TRNAQ-CUG-2、LOC114117240、ACADL、MYL1、CHD6、SLCO3A1;有2个SNPs与150天日均产奶量达潜在显著关联,相关的候选基因包括PRMT6、RNF180;有2个SNPs与泌乳周期达潜在显著关联,相关的候选基因包括PRMT6、TRNAW-CCA-68、TRNAS-GGA-61。进一步基因功能分析推测,ACADL、SLCO3A1可能是影响奶绵羊产奶性状的候选基因。本研究为奶绵羊产奶性状的分子机制解析提供了一定的基础,为我国奶绵羊新品种培育提供了一定的理论参考。     

基于UHPLC-QTOF-MS代谢组学方法筛选奶牛不同妊娠状态时的候选生物标志物

旨在筛选人工授精后第17天奶牛在不同妊娠状态时的候选生物标志物。本研究以宁夏某奶牛场体重为（550±50） kg,体况评分相近的经产（2~3胎次）健康荷斯坦奶牛为试验对象。同期发情后,在人工授精后第17天晨饲前对奶牛进行尾静脉采血,后期采用计步器和B超仪诊断出奶牛的妊娠状态。根据诊断结果将奶牛分为妊娠组（A组,n=12）和未妊娠返情组（B组,n=24）,将这两组血样进行代谢轮廓及代谢物变化分析。主成分分析（PCA）和正交偏最小二乘法-判别分析（OPLS-DA）结果显示,A、B两组血浆代谢轮廓均发生了明显变化,A、B两组之间共检测出8种ROC （Receiver operating characteristic curve）曲线下面积（area under the ROC curve,AUC）＞0.8的差异代谢物。丙氨酸-亮氨酸、甘氨酸、脯氨酸、L-正亮氨酸、DL-苯丙氨酸、肌氨酸、吡咯-2-羧酸和缬氨酸-蛋氨酸有望成为识别妊娠组（A组）和未妊娠返情组（B组）的差异代谢物。综上表明,血浆中的这8种代谢物有望成为奶牛妊娠识别阶段潜在的生物标志物,为配种早期妊娠识别提供新思路。     

Ultrasonographic findings of the corpus luteum and the gravid uterus during heat stress in dairy cattle

The objectives of this study were to assess alterations in, echogenic appearance, size and blood flow in the corpus luteum, the placentomes and the blood flow in umbilical and uterine arteries that heat stress can cause in cooled pregnant dairy cows. Pregnant cows were allocated in two groups and the gravid uteri, along with the ipsilateral corpora lutea were examined during the winter (group W, n = 9) or the summer (group S, n = 10). The grey-scale ultrasound and colour flow imaging of the corpus luteum and placentome were performed. In addition, the umbilical and uterine artery diameters and haemodynamic parameters in the vessels were calculated. At the time of ultrasonographic examination, cortisol concentrations were higher, and progesterone levels tended to be lower in group S compared to group W. The grey-scale ultrasound evaluation of corpora lutea and placentomes was lower in group S compared to group W. The diameter of umbilical artery and the blood volume in the vessel were less in group S than in group W. We infer that heat stress affects foetal blood supply and possibly the structure of placentomes and corpora lutea, but it differently affects the blood flow characteristics in the umbilical and uterine arteries.
