甜菜碱对1至21日龄肉鸭体脂重分配的作用效果及机理

通过饲养、屠宰试验和有关指标分析,探讨了甜菜碱对21 日龄肉鸭体脂重分配的作用效果及其对脂肪代谢的作用机理。276 只1 日龄樱桃谷肉鸭分成对照组和甜菜碱组两个处理,每个处理138只,每组设3 个重复,每个重复组46 只肉鸭,公母各半。基础饲粮相同(甲硫氨酸和总含硫氨基酸含量分别为0.30% 和0.66% ),对照组饲喂不含甜菜碱的日粮,甜菜碱组饲喂含800 m g/kg 甜菜碱的日粮。肉鸭饲喂到21 日龄时称重、屠宰。结果表明,甜菜碱对21 日龄肉鸭体脂具有显著的重分配作用,它分别降低了鸭的腹脂率、皮脂厚和肝脏粗脂肪含量,提高了鸭胸肌中粗脂肪含量和肌间脂肪的厚度。肝脏、肌肉、腹脂和血清样品分析结果揭示,甜菜碱似通过降低脂肪生成酶的活性(P< 0.01),来提高脂肪分解酶的活力,促进肉碱的合成,加强肝脏、尤其是肌肉组织中长链脂肪酸的β-氧化作用,从而发挥着重新分配肉鸭体脂肪的作用。     

Lectin binding patterns in the olfactory bulb of mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos)

We histologically examined lectin binding patterns in the olfactory bulb of mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) using 21 biotinylated lectins. Positive staining for the N‐acetylglucosamine‐specific lectins (Bandeiraea simplicifolia II, Datura stramonium, Lycopersicon esculentum, Solanum tuberosum, Triticum vulgare), galactose or N‐acetylgalactosamine‐specific lectins (Artocarpus intergrifolia, Phaseolus vulgaris erythroagglutinin, Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin, Ricus communis) and the mannose‐specific lectins (Lens culinaris and Pisum sativum) was observed in the olfactory nerve and glomerular layers. Canavalia ensiformis staining showed a similar pattern to that obtained with the lectins and there was also faint staining in the mitral cells. Olfactory nerve axons terminate in the glomeruli, where they make excitatory synapses with the dendrites of mitral cells. This finding indicates that glycoconjugates that bind Canavalia ensiformis play an important role in formation of glomeruli. No positive staining for the other lectins was seen in the olfactory bulb. Based on these results, we conclude that cell surface sugar moieties of the olfactory bulb in mallard ducks express N‐acetylglucosamine and mannose residues rather than N‐acetylgalactosamine residues. The carbohydrate composition of mallard duck olfactory bulb differed from that of other vertebrates found in previous studies.     

Effect of strain on duck breast meat quality

Duck meat consumption is low but steady in the United States (US), while rapidly expanding in other countries. The duck industry is moving from a traditional whole carcass product towards deboned breast fillets and other portions, which has prompted strain selection for breast weight and yield. The effect of bird strain was therefore evaluated for fillet weight, yield, and breast meat quality characteristics. Eighty butterflied paired fillets were obtained from each of 4 Pekin duck strains after carcasses were sized by weight at the processing plant (n = 640). All fillets were weighed and then half of the fillets were evaluated for color. One fillet from each carcass-pair was either frozen or kept fresh for cooking, reweighing, and subsequent color analysis (Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage (CIE) lightness L*, redness a*, and yellowness b*). Both fillets in each carcass-pair were evaluated using Allo–Kramer (AK) and Warner–Bratzler (WB) shear. Strain affected (P < 0.05) raw and cooked fillet weight. Strain C, with the largest BW and selected for both breast yield and growth rate, had higher raw and cooked breast weight. Cooked yield was not affected by strain and averaged 64.4%. Neither AK nor WB shear values were affected by strain, and averaged 4.8 kg/g and 4.2 kg, respectively. Strain had a slight but significant effect on color, affecting lightness (L*) values of all categories, and redness (a*) values of raw and cooked meat. Freezing and thawing produced large and significant thaw losses ranging from 10.4 to 13.6%; differing losses depended on the strain of duck. Duck strain affected breast fillet weights and lightness to a slight extent, but not cook yield or shear values.     

不同季节、不同出栏日龄对樱桃谷鸭蛋氨酸需要量的影响

本研究结合生产实践，采用大群生产试验方法，对标准化饲养的2847栋鸭舍，同源樱桃谷商品肉鸭2925万只，按统一饲养方式和管理程序进行生产试验。试验日粮分为前期（1～19d）、中期（20～29d）和后期（30d～出栏）3个阶段，记录各饲养阶段肉鸭的采食量、增重、死亡率。结果表明：春、夏、秋、冬肉鸭氨基酸需要量的析因模型分别为：春季：METR=0．0050BGW＋0．1818W0．75；夏李：METR：O．0055BGW＋0．1554W0．75；秋季：METR=0．0050BGW＋0．1945W0．75；冬李：METR=0．0038BGW＋0．2651W0．75。春、夏、秋、冬四个季节肉鸭的蛋氨酸维持需要分别为每千克代谢体重0．1818、0．1554、0．1945、0．265lg；肉鸭每增重lg体重需要蛋氨酸为0．005、0．0055、0．005、0．0038g。冬季肉鸭摄入的蛋氨酸用于维持需要的量高于其它季节，以夏季最少，春季与秋季肉鸭用于维持需要的蛋氨酸量相当。而肉鸭冬季用于单位增重所需的蛋氨酸最少，其他季节相近。研究同时表明，不同的出栏日龄肉鸭增重lg所需的蛋氨酸量不同，随着肉鸭出栏日龄的延长，肉鸭每增重1g所需的蛋氨酸的需要量逐渐提高。

通过RT—PCR和DNA测序技术，克隆和测定了绍兴麻鸭的一种类似鸡白细胞介素2(IL-2)基因的核苷酸序列，并构建了该基因编码蛋白的三维结构分子模型。结果显示，绍兴麻鸭的类似于鸡IL-2基因的核苷酸长度由748个碱基组成，编码产物为由140个氨基酸残基组成的多肽，编码产物中含有21个氨基酸残基组成的信号肽。绍兴麻鸭的类似于鸡IL-2基因的核苷酸及编码产物，与鸡和火鸡IL-2的一致性分别为71.4％～72．1％和55．0％～57．9％，与哺乳类等动物IL-2的一致性分别为22．1％～28．8％和14．3％～17．1％。对绍兴麻鸭的类似于鸡IL-2基因蛋白编码产物的系统进化树分析表明，其编码产物与鸡和火鸡IL-2具有较远的亲缘关系。绍兴麻鸭的类似于鸡IL-2基因编码产物的三维结构，预测由4个α-螺旋结构和2个β折叠组成。这些研究结果预示。鸭的类似于鸡IL-2基因编码产物，在生物学功能上与哺乳动物和其他禽类具有很大的差异。     

番鸭细小病毒和鹅细小病毒生化及基因组特性的比较

番鸭细小病毒莆田株（MPV-P）和鹅细小病毒莆田株（GPV-P）分别感染的番鸭胚尿囊液经氯仿处理、PEG沉淀和Sepharose4B柱纯化。纯化样品在电镜下观察，均见到实心和空心2种病毒粒子。病毒粒子呈圆形，立体对称，无囊膜，直径为20-24nm。经SDS-PAGE分析，MPV和GPV均呈现3条结构蛋白带。MPV结构蛋白的相对分子质量约为VP1 89000、VP2 78000和VP3 61000，其中VP3为主要结构蛋白。GPV要相对分子质量与MPV有微小差别。MPV和GPV核酸均为单链DNA，长度约为51000bp。分别以MPV核酸和GPV核酸为模板，加到无引物的DNA聚合酶Ⅰ大片段合成体系中，合成产物经1%琼脂糖凝胶电泳，均可见长度约为5600bp的双链DNA带，证明MPV和GPV核酸的3'末端具有发夹结构。对这2种病毒核酸及经Klenow合成的双链核酸进行限制性内切酶分析，两者的酶切结果明显不同，表明MPV和GPV核酸在一级结构上存在明显差异。以上结果证明，MPV和GPV不但在致病性上有显著养异，而且在核酸结构上也有明显差异。
