The availability of state-level data on interstate cattle movements in the United States

Knowledge about the patterns of animal movement – particularly feeder-cattle movement – within the USA is necessary in order to anticipate how diseases might be spread geographically. This study was conducted to explore the availability of interstate-level movement data which might be used to develop a more coherent national picture of interstate feeder-cattle movement. State Statistical Offices of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, 1996 (NASS) and Departments of Agriculture in all 50 states were contacted to determine the type of information collected regarding the import and export of feeder cattle. Eighteen of the 50 states contacted recorded updated import and export information by using certificates of veterinary inspection and (occasionally) entry permits for verification. The 18 states were: Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Profiles of import and export data from Kansas, Texas, Colorado and Iowa (the primary receivers of 51% of total 1995 imports) were developed. These four states received at least 50% of their cattle imports from <9 different states. As a result, approximately half of the nation's import movement can be explained by a total of 13 states and Mexico (excluding duplicates). Also, >50% of the exports from Kansas, Texas, Colorado, and Iowa go to ≤3 states. This import and export information confirms conclusions of others that cattle tend to move toward the center of the USA. However, if more states kept comprehensive, up-to-date records of movement information, knowledge about cattle-movement patterns in the USA would be importantly increased. The lack of specific notations on certificates of veterinary inspection can lead only to perceived trends; the present records have limited value in tracking animal movement.     

Fatty acid profile as affected by fat depot and the sex category of Polish Holstein-Friesian × Limousin fattening cattle fed silage ad libitum

This study was designed to compare the fatty acid profiles of four types of fat depots from bulls, steers, and heifers. All animals were Polish Holstein-Friesian and Limousin crossbreds fattened semi-intensively—silage at libitum and concentrate in the amount corresponding to 30% of their net energy requirements. The fatty acid profile in intramuscular, intermuscular, and external and internal fat was determined. The intramuscular fat of bulls was most abundant in total PUFAs and n-6 PUFAs, and functional fatty acids C 18:2, C 20:4, and C 22:5 in comparison with steers and heifers. Regardless of sex category, intramuscular and external fat were characterized by higher levels of UFAs and a more desirable MUFA/SFA ratio than the remaining fat types. It should also be noted that external fat was more abundant in CLA than other fat types, and that the highest CLA content was found in bull fat, compared with the remaining sex categories of cattle.     

鉴别显色培养基在奶牛乳房炎病原菌快速鉴定中的应用

为研发用于奶牛乳房炎常见病原菌分离鉴定的鉴别显色培养基,并检验其与普通分离鉴定培养基辅以生化鉴定和16S rRNA核酸序列测定两种传统方法鉴定结果的一致性,笔者以生物信息学方法筛出各种属细菌的特异性酶、可作为唯一碳源发酵产酸的碳源,然后合成酶显色底物,连同碳源、酸碱指示剂制备显色培养基,将各种属标准菌株、野生型菌株涂布培养,评估菌落形态、菌落颜色及培养基基质颜色变化。采集隐性乳房炎(CMT法检测)及临床型乳房炎病例的牛奶样品(絮状物、凝块、清亮状或血乳)共计482份,用鉴别显色培养基和两种传统方法进行病原菌的分离、鉴定。鉴别显色培养基上菌落纯化后提取DNA用于16S rRNA序列扩增,产物送去测序(n=194)。以两种传统方法为参考,判定鉴别显色培养基鉴定病原菌的可靠性,用SAS 9.4的FREQ程序计算鉴别显色培养基的简单科恩κ系数。鉴别显色培养基上常见乳房炎病原菌不同种属的菌落形态和培养基基质颜色明显不同,肉眼即可辨别。鉴别显色培养基与两种传统方法鉴定结果的一致性参数分别为κ=0.70、κ=0.96。鉴别显色培养基能够作为常见奶牛乳房炎病原菌的标准鉴定方法。     

Plant Species Composition and Forage Production 14 Yr After Biosolids Application and Grazing Exclusion

This paper examines the effects of a single surface application of biosolids (at 20 dry Mg ha^{? 1}) on plant species composition, forage quality and quantity, and C stocks after 14 yr of rest in rangelands of the Central Interior of British Columbia. More than two times the aboveground biomass of grasses and the percent cover of plant litter were found in the biosolids treatment relative to the control, along with reductions in bare soil and microbiotic crust cover. Significantly greater plant uptake of all macronutrients (C, N, P, K, S, Ca, and Mg); most micronutrients (B, Cu, Mn, Mo, and Zn); and Al occurred in the biosolids treatment. P and Cu were the only two nutrients to be more concentrated in the biosolids-treated forage relative to the control forage, while N, Mg, and protein were more concentrated in the control forage. No significant difference in forage digestibility was found between biosolids and control treatments. Bluebunch wheatgrass, the late-seral native grass species, had significantly increased cover and aboveground biomass in the biosolids treatment relative to the control; however, between 2006 and 2016, non-native Kentucky bluegrass had reached > 25% cover in the biosolids plots, perhaps restricting the full recovery of bluebunch wheatgrass. Our findings indicate that biosolids application to ungrazed rangeland can increase long-term forage production and reduce bare soil. However, at our study site biosolids application also led to a long-term shift in the plant community composition away from the late-seral (i.e., bluebunch wheatgrass) trajectory, and the effects of this shift on rangeland health and productivity require further investigation.     

宿主域扩大的重组救活昆虫杆状病毒表达载体的构建及外源基因的表达

通过克隆的家蚕核多角体病毒解旋酶基因DNA与重组救活可线性化的苜蓿尺蠖核多角体病毒基因工程载体病毒 (BacPAK6 )DNA在昆虫细胞中发生重组 ,经累代筛选获得了既可感染家蚕又可感染秋粘虫细胞Sf 2 1的宿主域扩大的昆虫杆状病毒表达载体 (HyBacPAK6 )。HyBacPAK6DNA经Bsu36Ⅰ酶切后与含植酸酶基因的转移载体pVL1393 phy在家蚕细胞中重组后 ,通过蓝白斑筛选发现重组率可达 90 %以上。然而以杂交病毒为载体的外源基因表达量仅为以BmNPV为载体病毒的表达量的 2 0 %左右。分析认为HyBacPAK6可用于表达一些对蚕体有害的外源基因。     

星星草对碱化土壤物理性质的影响

研究不同生长年限的星星草对碱化土壤及对应碱斑土壤的机械组成、土壤孔隙度、容重和含水量的影响。结果表明,星星草生长1、2和3年后,粘粒和细砂所占比例减小,而粗粉和细粉所占比例增大。土壤总孔隙度、毛管孔隙度和非毛管孔隙度随着生长年数的增加呈不同程度的增加,而土壤容重则越来越小,>0.25mm的水稳定性团聚体随之增加。星星草地土壤含水量和田间持水量均高于碱斑土壤。星星草改善了碱化土壤结构、通透性、保水性和土壤物理环境。     

北方农牧交错带气候变化及草地生产力的响应--以甘肃省定西县为例

根据北方农牧交错带(定西县1970～2000年)的气候资料,分析了该地区30年来气候变化周期、趋势及其草地气候生产力的变化.研究结果表明气温呈上升而降水呈减少的态势,并且都具有7年的准周期,预计在下一个周期平均气温可能会上升到7.88℃,而降水将减少到377.7mm.在温度升高而降水不变的情景下,温度每升高1℃草地生产潜力增加96.49kg/hm2·a;相反,在降水减少而温度不变的情况下,降水每减少1mm草地生产潜力减少5.06kg/hm2·a.
