基于深度学习的牛肉大理石花纹等级手机评价系统

大理石花纹是影响牛肉品质等级的重要指标,目前中国牛肉加工企业对大理石花纹的评价是由专业分级人员参照标准图谱完成,具有主观性强、耗费人工的缺点。针对上述问题,该研究提出了基于深度学习的智能分级方法,设计一种具有4层卷积的神经网络结构,实现了大理石花纹特征的自动提取,并基于智能手机开发了牛肉大理石花纹检测软件。该研究共采集样本图像1 800张,按3:1:1分为校正集、验证集和测试集。为进一步验证模型,将该方法与传统机器视觉方法进行了比较,提取了牛肉大理石花纹的大、中、小脂肪颗粒个数,脂肪总面积和脂肪分布均匀度5个参数,并建立了多元线性回归模型。试验结果表明,该研究所用方法大理石花纹检测准确率更高,验证集检测正确率为97.67%。最后编写了手机软件,将模型移植入Android手机,在手机平台上调用模型进行大理石花纹检测。试验表明,该软件对测试集样本的检测准确率为95.56%,单张检测时间低于0.5 s。该研究结合卷积神经网络分类能力强和智能手机运行速度快等优点,开发了牛肉大理石花纹的手机评价系统,具有较好的实用性和便携性,可提高牛肉大理石花纹检测效率,有助于提高农畜产品检测的智能化水平。     

肉牛不同生长阶段日粮营养物质表观消化率的比较

[目的] 比较不同生长阶段肉牛日粮营养物质表观消化率和日增重,为肉牛养殖日粮配合提供参考。[方法] 按月龄和体重随机选择两组西门塔尔杂交牛,12~15月龄、体重250~300 kg为小体重组,15~18月龄、体重350~500 kg为大体重组,每组10头。日粮根据肉牛体重变化调整,正式试验期分为试验前期和试验后期。以不溶盐酸灰分（AIA）作为内源指示剂,利用点收粪法测定日粮营养物质表观消化率。[结果] 小体重组肉牛在整个试验期的总增重和平均日增重与大体重组肉牛差异显著（P<0.05）;试验前期,小体重组肉牛日粮有机物（OM）、粗蛋白质（CP）、中性洗涤纤维（NDF）、酸性洗涤纤维（ADF）、淀粉和能量的表观可消化量与大体重组肉牛差异显著（P<0.05）,而OM、CP、NDF、ADF、淀粉和能量的表观消化率与大体重组肉牛无显著（P>0.05）差异。[结论] 在试验日粮组成条件下,选取的2个饲养阶段肉牛日粮的营养物质表观消化率没有明显差异,可消化营养物质进食量的增加可提高日增重。     

饲料中C3植物含量对牛组织中稳定同位素碳、氮组成的影向

研究了饲料中C3植物含量不同时对牛不同组织中稳定性同位素碳、氮组成的影响。18头12~14月龄的青年牛随机分为6组,分别饲喂C3植物含量为50.0%、60.0%、70.0%、80.0%、90.0%、100.0%的饲料,132 d后屠宰。利用同位素比值质谱仪测定了牛尾毛、脱脂牛肉、粗脂肪、各种饲料的δ13C和δ15N值。结果表明,牛组织中碳同位素主要受饲料的影响,牛尾毛、脱脂肌肉、粗脂肪中的δ13C值随着C3植物含量在牛饲料中的比例增大而降低,并且均与C3植物含量呈极显著的负相关关系,用牛组织中的δ13C值可以预测饲料中C3植物所占的比例。牛组织中的氮同位素一定程度上受饲料因素的影响,但未随C3植物含量呈现规律性变化。牛不同组织中δ13C和δ15N与饲料之间的富集或贫化比例与其他报道并不一致。     

桑叶在肉牛瘤胃中的降解特性研究

为明确桑叶在肉牛瘤胃中的降解率及饲用价值,试验以桑叶为研究对象,选用6头装有永久性瘤胃瘘管的肉牛,采用尼龙袋法,研究桑叶在肉牛瘤胃中停留时间为6 h、12 h、24 h、36 h、48 h、72 h的降解变化。结果表明,桑叶营养成分丰富,其粗蛋白含量较高,达到20.64%;其干物质、粗蛋白、中性洗涤纤维和酸性洗涤纤维的降解率均随在瘤胃停留时间的延长而增大,大体上,24 h~72 h的降解率与24 h前的降解率变化差异显著(P0.05);24h之后,降解率变化较为平缓,72 h降解率最大。24 h时干物质的降解率为81.49%、粗蛋白的降解率为88.72%、中性洗涤纤维的降解率为72.59%,酸性洗涤纤维的降解率为18.94%。     

肉牛TMR日粮粒度和饲料消化率分析

[目的]分析肉牛场不同牛群全混合日粮(TMR)的粒度和饲料消化率。[方法]在固原市瑞科丰农牧科技有限公司选取西门塔尔牛犊牛、母牛、育肥牛各120头作为试验牛群,对照组和试验组各60头,试验组日粮中添加酵母培养物AYC-X6,对照组未添加。[结果]结果表明,断奶犊牛和育肥牛TMR日粮粒度第2层比例最高分别为51.60%,52.9%。母牛第1,2,3层比例基本相同,在20.30%～21.85%之间。犊牛日粮中添加酵母培养物AYC-X6后第1,2层筛上物合计35%,比例下降,说明犊牛消化程度增加,消化率提高。育肥牛日粮第1,2层筛上物合计分别为64%,48%,分别比对照组降低8%,24%。[结论]肉牛TMR日粮粒度越大,粗饲料越长,过瘤胃速度越慢;育肥前期粗饲料长度为2.5 cm,育肥后期粗饲料长度3.5 cm。断奶犊牛和育肥牛日粮中添加酵母培养物AYC-X6提高了饲料消化率。     

Dietary zinc concentration and lipopolysaccharide injection affect circulating trace minerals,acute phase protein response,and behavior as evaluated by an ear-tag–based accelerometer in beef steers

To assess plasma trace mineral (TM) concentrations, the acute phase protein response, and behavior in response to a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge, 96 Angus cross steers (average initial body weight [BW]: 285 ± 14.4 kg) were sorted into two groups by BW (heavy and light; n = 48/group), fitted with an ear-tag–based accelerometer (CowManager SensOor; Agis, Harmelen, Netherlands), and stagger started 14 d apart. Consecutive day BW was recorded to start the 24-d trial (days −1 and 0). Dietary treatments began on day 0: common diet with either 30 (Zn30) or 100 (Zn100) mg supplemental Zn/kg DM (ZnSO₄). On day 17, steers received one of the following injection treatments intravenously to complete the 2 × 3 factorial: 1) SALINE (~2–3 mL of physiological saline), 2) LOWLPS: 0.25 µg LPS/kg BW, or 3) HIGHLPS: 0.375 µg LPS/kg BW. Blood, rectal temperature (RT), and BW were recorded on day 16 (−24 h relative to injection), and BW was used to assign injection treatment. Approximately 6, 24 (day 18), and 48 (day 19) h after treatment, BW, RT, and blood were collected, and final BW recorded on day 24. Data were analyzed in Proc Mixed of SAS with fixed effects of diet, injection, diet × injection; for BW, RT, dry matter intake (DMI), plasma TM, and haptoglobin-repeated measures analysis were used to evaluate effects over time. Area under the curve analysis determined by GraphPad Prism was used for analysis of accelerometer data. Body weight was unaffected by diet or injection (P ≥ 0.16), but there was an injection × time effect for DMI and RT (P < 0.05), where DMI decreased in both LPS treatments on day 16, but recovered by day 17, and RT was increased in LPS treatments 6 h post-injection. Steers receiving LPS spent less time highly active and eating than SALINE (P < 0.01). Steers in HIGHLPS spent lesser time ruminating, followed by LOWLPS and then SALINE (P < 0.001). An injection × time effect (P < 0.001) for plasma Zn showed decreased concentrations within 6 h of injection and remained decreased through 24 h before recovering by 48 h. A tendency for a diet × time effect (P = 0.06) on plasma Zn suggests plasma Zn repletion occurred at a greater rate in Zn100 compared to Zn30. These results suggest that increased supplemental Zn may alter the rate of recovery of Zn status from an acute inflammatory event. Additionally, ear-tag–based accelerometers used in this study were effective at detecting sickness behavior in feedlot steers, and rumination may be more sensitive than other variables.

The Blonde d’Aquitaine T3811>G3811 mutation in the myostatin gene: association with growth,carcass, and muscle phenotypes in veal calves

The mutation T3811 → G3811 (TG3811) discovered in the myostatin gene of the Blonde d’Aquitaine breed is suspected of contributing to the outstanding muscularity of this breed. An experiment was designed to estimate the effect of this mutation in an F2 and back-cross Blonde d’Aquitaine × Holstein population. By genotyping all known mutations in the myostatin gene, it was ensured that the TG3811 mutation was indeed the only known mutation segregating in this population. Fifty-six calves (43 F2, 13 back-cross) were intensively fattened and slaughtered at 24.0 ± 1.4 wk of age. The effects of the mutation were estimated by comparing the calves with the [T/T] (n = 18), [T/G] (n = 30), and [G/G] (n = 8) genotypes. Highly significant substitution effects (P < 0.001), above + 1.2 phenotypic SD, were shown on carcass yield and muscularity scores. Birth weight (P < 0.001) was positively affected by the mutation (+0.8 SD) but not growth rate (P = 0.97), while carcass length (P = 0.03), and fatness (P ≤ 0.03) were negatively affected (–0.5 to –0.7 SD). The characteristics of the Triceps brachii muscle were affected by the mutation (P < 0.001), with lower ICDH activity (oxidative) and a higher proportion of myosin type 2X muscle fibers (fast twitch). The effects of the TG3811 mutation were similar to those of other known myostatin mutations, although the Blonde d’Aquitaine animals, which are predominantly [G/G] homozygous, do not exhibit extreme double muscling.     

D-柠檬烯纳米乳对牛肉中食源性致病菌的影响（英文）

由于良好的抗菌活性和稳定的性能,D-柠檬烯纳米乳被广泛报道。研究D-柠檬烯纳米乳对伤寒杆菌,乙型副伤寒杆菌和痢疾志贺氏菌在37℃下培养24 h的抑菌活性,并在4℃牛肉中于第1 d、2 d、3 d分别检测对伤寒沙门氏菌,痢疾杆菌来评价其抑制效果。利用超声乳化法制备D-柠檬烯纳米乳。在最小抑菌浓度(MIC)实验中,D-柠檬烯纳米乳对三种受试菌的最小抑菌浓度为2.5 mg/m L。在牛肉试验中,基于MIC,D-柠檬烯纳米乳在牛肉中的添加浓度分别为40 mg/m L,20 mg/m L和10 mg/m L,20 mg/m L和10 mg/m L稀释液,结果两种受试菌最好的抑制浓度和时间均相同,分别是40 mg/m L和24 h。该研究表明D-柠檬烯纳米乳应用于食品中可能是食品安全的有效解决方案。
