三江源区牦牛冷季补饲效果研究

两个月的试验结果表明,补饲精料对减少牦牛冷季掉膘有明显作用。8月龄牦牛补饲精料试验组比对照组少减重2.81kg,两者之间存在极显著差异(P<0.01)。20月龄补饲精料牦牛试验组比对照组少重2.19kg,两者之间存在极显著差异(P<0.01)。通过计算投产比得出,补饲精料是增加三江源区牦牛冷季营养供给,减少掉膘,提高生产效率的有效途径。     

双子矩阵的特征值和特征向量

通过对极大极小（γ，δ）双子在某一特征值下的等价定义，把任意的极大极小（γ，δ）双子化为极大代数下的双子，从而得到计算极大极小〈γ，δ〉双子Ｍ矩阵的特征值与特征向量的方法以及有关的结论。     

梭梭属不同种源种子品质初评

梭梭属(Haloxylon Bge.)的两个种,主要分布在新疆准噶尔盆地,是优良防风固沙和薪炭树种,被列为国家重点保护植物。国内对两种梭梭的利用和研究,从50年代末就已经开始进行,至今已做了大量的工作,但对其种子特性的研究报道甚少。为了更深入了解梭梭两种植物的种子特性,我们于1987年选用吐鲁番沙漠研究站引种成功的两种梭梭(H.ammodendron、H.Persicum)的种子同原分布区莫索湾沙漠研究站采的种子,对其品质进行了对比试验分析,为梭梭属引种工作中的种源选择及种子保存提供依据。现将结果报道如下。     

白羽鸡快,慢羽纯系及其杂交后代早期生长的研究

本文通过3个快羽纯系和3个慢羽纯系以及9个自别雌雄商品杂交组合,测定快、慢羽伴性等位基因(k~ 和K)对白羽蛋鸡早期体重的影响。结果,在兼用型鸡中,由同一来源分离出的快羽C系1～10周龄体重明显高于慢羽D系(P<0.05),表现出明显羽速效应;而在蛋用型鸡中,由同一来源分离出的快羽B系早期体重则低于慢羽G系(1～5周龄P<0.05,6～10周龄P<0.10)。表明快慢羽基因的羽速效应因品种(或品系)的不同而异。9个配套组的杂交鸡早期体重均低于双亲均值,明显表现出负的杂交优势,有利于蛋鸡最适体型的筛选。     

The impact of Theileria parva infections and other factors on calf mean daily weight gains in smallholder dairy farms in Murang'a District, Kenya

The association between mean daily weight gain, Theileria parva infections, clinical East Coast fever and other possible determinants of weight gain were examined in a longitudinal observational study that was conducted in cohorts of female calves from five agro-ecological zone (AEZ)-grazing strata. The strata were upper-midlands (UM) 1 zero-grazing, UM 1 open-grazing, UM 2 zero-grazing, UM 4 zero-grazing and UM 4 open-grazing. In total, 225 calves on 188 smallholder dairy farms were visited within the first 2 weeks of life and thereafter at biweekly intervals up to the age of 6 months between March 1995 and August 1996. During each visit, the calves were weighed and other calf-management practices in the farm during the visit such as housing, feeding and tick control also were recorded. Other events such as morbidity and mortality between or during the visits were also recorded.

The overall mean daily weight gains were 0.24–0.29 kg (S.D.=0.17–0.22 kg) and were lower than the recommended targets for smallholder farms of 0.40–0.50 kg. The major tendency in variability of daily weight gains was due to visit-to-visit variation (especially in calves >3 months old).

Differences in mean daily gains were associated with AEZ-grazing strata and calf-level factors that included breed of calf, calf sickness, incidence of ECF, feeding of milk, concentrate feeds and minerals and interaction between calf age and AEZ-grazing strata (P<0.05). ECF and other calf sicknesses exerted a temporal effect on calf-growth at the height of illness and immediately after; calves later recovered the lost growth except where other factors such as poor calf nutrition prevailed. Improvement in calf-growth in Murang’a District is achievable and extension services should continue to target individual-calf-level management practices.     

饲养水平、年龄及体重对牛产肉性能影响的研究

本研究在控制牛品种相同的条件下,分析了营养水平、年龄及体重等因素对牛产肉性能的影响。结果表明,日粮营养水平对肉的品质和产肉量都有显著的影响,活重对牛产肉量也有较显著影响,而年龄对肉质和产肉量均无显著影响。要提高牛肉的生产水平应选择体重大的个体,同时以较高营养水平的日粮饲养。     

品种、年龄及活重对牛产肉性能的影响

为了确定在优质牛肉生产中所需解决的宰前关键问题,本文在相同饲养条件下品种、年龄及体重等因素对牛产肉性能的影响做了研究。结果表明,品种对牛肉的品质和产量都有显著或较显著的影响,其中晋南牛牛肉品质最佳;活重对牛肉产量有较大影响;年龄主要对肉质影响显著,其中年龄在2-2.5岁间的牛肉嫩度最好,因此,要提高牛肉的生产水平应以产肉性能优良的品种作牛源,同时选择年龄小、体重大的个体。     

肉用西门塔尔牛改良云南黄牛的效果初报

对云南黄牛、西门塔尔与云南黄牛的杂交牛（西本杂）体尺体重进行了测定,结果西本牛与本地牛体尺体重都有了显著提高（P＜0．01）。西本杂牛的初生、6、12、18、24月龄体重比同龄本地牛分别高出82％、18％、69％、50％、78％。     

Performance of Broiler Chickens Fed Sweet Potato Meal (Ipomoea batatas L.) Diets

Day-old Lohman broiler chicks (n = 120) were fed on five starting diets for 4 weeks in groups of 24 birds. The starting diets contained 0%, 9%, 18%, 27% and 36% sweet potato tuber as a replacement for maize. From the fifth week, the 120 birds were tested in groups of 30 on four finishing diets containing 0%, 15%, 30% and 45% sweet potato tuber as a replacement for maize. The carcass quality was significantly (p>0.05) improved due to a significant (p>0.05) reduction of abdominal fat in the birds fed on the 45% sweet potato finisher diets. However, the birds on the sweet potato diet continually passed wet dropppings, resulting in a significant (p>0.05) reduction in body weight and feed conversion efficiency. The optimum levels of inclusion of sweet potato in the diets were considered to be 27% and 30% for starting and finishing broiler chickens, respectively. Sweet potato diets may be a remedy for fatty broilers.
