The Role of Vitamins and Feed Enzymes in Combating Metabolic Challenges and Disorders

The potential exists for vitamins and feed enzymes to counteract some metabolic disorders and challenges in poultry. Recent research indicates that increased levels of vitamins E and C are able to reduce ascites-related mortality in broiler chickens. Fatty liver and kidney syndrome is a nutritionally induced metabolic disorder that has been eliminated under practical production conditions due to regular supplementation of poultry diets with biotin. There is also experimental evidence for beneficial effects of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol on the incidence and severity of skeletal and performance anomalies in broilers. Another challenge is the presence of high levels of indigestible and partly soluble nonstarch polysaccharides in many cereals and other plant feed ingredients, resulting in various antinutritive effects. The use of feed enzymes, in particular endo-1,3-1,4-β-glucanase and endo-1,4-β-xylanase, to counteract these adverse effects is well implemented by the feed industry. A typical example of metabolic challenge is the reduced availability of phytate P in plant feed ingredients and the potential for phytate to act as an antinutritional component. Microbial phytase provides a practical solution for improving P availability in plant ingredients. In addition, recent studies suggest phytate can stimulate endogenous losses, and phytase can help prevent those losses.

BIOLOG在土壤微生物群落功能多样性研究中的应用

目的研究海南热带地区典型植被类型土壤微生物群落结构特征,揭示植被特征和土壤理化特征对土壤微生物群落的影响。方法利用 BIOLOG-ECO 技术,对海南热带地区6种典型植被类型的土壤微生物功能多样性进行研究。结果不同植被类型土壤微生物的平均每孔颜色变化率(average well color development,AWCD)曲线基本一致,但碳源利用能力强弱有别。不同植被类型土壤192 h处的AWCD值大小顺序为：混交林>半红树林>次生林>椰子林>湿加松林>木麻黄林。不同林分类型对六大类主要的碳源利用率存在差异,混交林、半红树林、次生林和椰子林4种植被类型对碳水化合物、氨基酸类和多聚物的利用率最高,而木麻黄林和湿加松人工纯林土壤微生物对六大类碳源的利用率均不高,其中氨基酸类和羧酸类碳源是这2种人工纯林主要碳源利用形式。不同植被土壤微生物McIntosh指数、Shannon-Wiener指数、Simpson指数和Pielou指数也表现为混交林、半红树林和次生林高于人工纯林。主成分分析表明：不同植被类型土壤微生物群落代谢多样性能够明显区分,其中PC1可以解释所有变量方差的47.32%, PC2可以解释所有变量方差的31.58%,累计贡献达到78.90%。相关性分析表明：土壤微生物群落多样性各指标与土壤有机碳和全氮之间呈极显著正相关 (P<0.01),与土壤pH呈负相关,与土壤含水量呈显著正相关 (P<0.05)。结论相比纯林,人工混交林对于改善土壤微生物群落特征具有重要作用。     

Low cost measurement setup based on a piezoelectric microphone for estimating apple bruising using Shannon entropy

This study presents a low cost measurement setup for estimating apple bruise volume during drop impact tests. The proposed measurement system consists of three main stages namely recording impact sound, signal processing, and estimating bruise volume. In the recording stage, the impact sound occurred when striking the apple on the surface was recorded by a piezoelectric microphone into computer. The impact sound was converted into Shannon entropy signals based on the Kernel density approach, and two measurable quantities namely entropy peak and pulse-width time were extracted from Shannon entropy signals in the signal processing stage. In the bruise volume estimating stage, the regression curves that map entropy peak and pulse-width features into bruise volume are estimated using measurements data. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we conducted several drop experiments with six different drop heights and two different temperatures (1 and 19 °C). Experimental results showed that bruise volume was exponentially proportional to the entropy peak and it was inversely proportional to pulse-width time as power functions, and all the curves were fitted with coefficients of determination of more than 0.98. Moreover, it was found that colder apples developed less bruise volume then warmer ones.     

小檗碱对炎症性肠病肠道屏障的影响及其信号通路

小檗碱是传统中药黄连等植物的主要活性成分,具有抗菌消炎、调节机体免疫等作用,可改善由炎症性肠病(IBD)导致的肠道屏障损伤。小檗碱通过抑制Toll样受体(TLRs)/核转录因子κB(NF⁃κB)、Janus活化激酶(JAK)/信号转导与转录激活子(STAT)信号通路和激活胰岛素样生长因子1(IGF⁃1)/胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白(IGFBPs)信号通路,缓解IBD引起的肠道机械屏障、化学屏障、免疫屏障和微生物屏障功能损伤。本文就小檗碱的来源及理化性质、IBD的病理特征、小檗碱对IBD肠道屏障的修复作用及其信号通路进行综述,以期为畜牧生产中保护动物肠道健康提供参考。

农牧交错带不同植被群落对土壤微生物量碳氮磷的影响

为了解荒漠化土地植被恢复对土壤微生物量的影响,以地处毛乌素沙地南缘的榆林市沙生植物园植被恢复30年的乔木、灌木和草地3种植被群落下土壤为研究对象,分析了植被恢复对土壤微生物量碳、氮、磷含量及比值的影响及其与土壤理化性质的相关性。结果表明,农牧交错带荒漠化土地植被恢复可以明显提高表层土壤微生物碳、氮、磷的含量。土壤微生物量碳以灌木林地为最高,含量为288.35 mg·kg-1,显著高于草地和乔木,分别是乔木林地和草地的3.99和2.10倍;土壤微生物磷在三种植被群落间差异不明显;三种植被群落下土壤微生物碳氮比的高低为乔木林地草地灌木林地,土壤微生物碳磷比表现为草地略高于乔木林地和灌木林地。相关性分析结果显示微生物量碳、氮、磷与土壤理化性质相关性极为密切,其中与土壤养分各指标大多呈现极显著相关,与土壤容重多为极显著负相关。说明土壤微生物量可以作为评价土壤质量的生物学指标。
