Trichophytobezoar duodenal obstruction in New World camelids

OBJECTIVE: To describe clinical findings, surgical treatment, and outcome associated with trichophytobezoar duodenal obstruction in New World camelids. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. ANIMALS: Alpacas (7) and 1 llama. METHODS: Historical and clinical data were obtained from the medical records of New World camelids with a diagnosis of trichophytobezoar duodenal obstruction confirmed by surgical exploration or necropsy. RESULTS: Seven camelids were <1 year old. Abnormal clinical findings included anorexia, reduced fecal output, recumbency, colic, abdominal distension, regurgitation, decreased serum chloride concentration, increased serum bicarbonate concentration, and/or elevated first gastric compartment chloride concentration. Survey abdominal radiographs obtained (4 animals) revealed gastric distension (4) and/or visualization of the obstruction (2). Diagnosis was confirmed at necropsy (1) or surgery (7). Right paracostal celiotomy was performed on all animals and duodenotomy (3) or retropulsion of the trichophytobezoar combined with third compartment gastrotomy (4) was used to remove the obstruction. Six animals survived to discharge and 5 were healthy at follow-up, 8-20 months later. The remaining discharged alpaca was healthy at 12 months but subsequently died of unrelated causes. CONCLUSIONS: Diagnosis of trichophytobezoar duodenal obstruction should be considered in juvenile New World camelids with abdominal distension and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. Right paracostal celiotomy can be used for access to the descending duodenum and third gastric compartment for surgical relief of obstruction. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Duodenal obstruction from bezoars should be considered in New World camelids <1year of age with abdominal distension and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. Surgical relief of the obstruction by right paracostal celiotomy has a good prognosis.

白花和杂花沙打旺品种选育初报(简报)

沙打旺(Astragulusadsurgens)原产于黄河故道地区,该草耐瘠薄、抗干旱、抗风沙,耐寒性强,适应性广,产草量高,草质好,适口性能佳,为牲畜的主要饲草之一[1]。沙打旺种子细小,发芽时间短,出苗迅速,一般2～3天发芽,5～7天出苗,常用作飞播牧草的首选牧草种子,特别是西北干旱地区草场植被的恢复建设。目前我省沙打旺种植面积已达10万hm2,同时沙打旺根系发达,也是水土保持的重要作物。但其生育期长,要求较高的活动积温,所以在某些地区不开花、很少开花结籽、或开花不集中,种子随成熟随脱落,给集中收获带来一定困难。同时种子收获后再割草,叶子全…

转BADH基因山苜3号(SLM07)紫花苜蓿新品种选育

通过农杆菌介导法将BADH基因成功导人中苜1号紫花苜蓿基因组中,以生长习性、花色、生物量、抗逆性等性状特征为选育目标,选育出了符合既定目标的耐盐苜蓿,定名为山苜3号(SLM07)(Medicago sativa L.cv.Shanmu No.3).通过品比试验、区域试验和生产试验表明,在不同含盐量地区其产草量明显高于中苜1号,生产试验的干草增产率为16.22%～21.52%,为我国耐盐牧草生产提供了新的种质资源.     

日粮中性洗涤纤维水平对断奶至2月龄肉兔生产性能、消化代谢和盲肠发酵的影响

80只断奶新西兰兔分成5组,饲喂5种中性洗涤纤维(NDF)水平的日粮(分别为24%、27%、30%33%和36%),研究了日粮NDF水平对断奶至2月龄的肉兔生产性能、营养物质消化利用、免疫指标、盲肠纤维酶活性和盲肠内环境的影响。结果表明:日粮NDF水平对试兔日增重、饲料转化率影响显著(P<0.05),随NDF水平增加,日增重先增加后降低,料重比先降低后增加,30%NDF水平对日增重最高为31.52g/d,饲料转化率最低为3.23:1。随日粮NDF水平的增加,粗纤维、能量、粗蛋白和粗脂肪消化率显著或极显著降低(P<0.05,P<0.01),NDF消化率显著提高(P<0.05),氮沉积先升高后下降,以30%NDF组最高为1.24g/d。不同NDF间胸腺指数和脾脏指数差异不显著(P>0.05)。日粮NDF能极显著提高盲肠纤维素酶的活性(P<0.01),纤维素酶活性由13.79IU/g提高到58.68IU/g。NDF水平对断奶至2月龄试兔盲肠发育影响显著(P<0.05),盲肠占活重的比例随NDF水平的增加呈上升趋势。盲肠氨氮浓度呈下降趋势,24%、27%NDF组与36%NDF组差异显著(P<0.05),总VFA含量呈上升趋势,24%NDF和36%NDF组差异显著(P<0.05),VFA中乙酸比例上升,丙酸、丁酸比例下降。综合以上结果,断奶至2月龄肉兔NDF水平以30%～33%为宜。

植保无人飞机对4种棉花喷施脱叶催熟剂的效果研究

目的 研究棉花收获前植保无人飞机喷施脱叶催熟剂的效果。方法 使用植保无人飞机以22.5 L·hm^-2的施药液量喷施采收前30 d的棉花‘金棉18#’、‘北泉9#’、‘植金13#’和‘合信47#’,以人工机械喷雾(施药液量450 L·hm^-2)为对照,测试4种棉花冠层中的雾滴覆盖率;于药后4、7、14和21 d分别进行脱叶和吐絮效果调查,计算不同棉花品种的脱叶率和吐絮率;检测4种棉花的纤维品质和产量构成因子(铃质量、衣分)。结果 雾滴覆盖率在4种棉花品种中均呈现出上部冠层显著高于中下部冠层的规律,且植株越高,中下部冠层的雾滴覆盖率越低;除‘合信47#’人工喷雾处理的吐絮率没有达到机采棉采收标准外,其余处理的脱叶率和吐絮率均达到了机采棉的采收标准;4种棉花品种的纤维品质和产量构成因子(铃质量、衣分)均不受施药器械的影响。结论 植保无人飞机可作为棉花采收前喷施脱叶催熟剂的施药器械。
