黄羽肉鸡IGF-1基因单核苷酸多态性与生长性状的相关研究

本试验将类胰岛素生长因子1(IGF-1)作为研究肉鸡生长的候选基因,以海门京海集团的第二世代黄羽肉鸡为试验材料,根据鸡IGF-1基因DNA序列设计引物,采用PCR-SSCP方法进行SNP检测和基因型分析,探讨IGF-1基因多态性与鸡生长性状之间的关系。于IGF-1基因外显子1上发现一处突变。这个突变产生的不同基因型与鸡生长性状进行的统计分析结果表明,个体的1日龄初生重、4周龄、12周龄及300日龄成年体重在不同基因型之间均存在显著差异(P<0.05)。AA基因型1日龄初生重、4周龄、8周龄及300日龄成年体重均显著高于BB基因型个体(P<0.05)。推测可以将IGF-1基因应用于鸡生长的标记辅助选择育种实践。

Vachellia karroo leaf meal: a promising non-conventional feed resource for improving goat production in low-input farming systems of Southern Africa

Among a vast number of forage trees, Vachellia karroo (Acacia karroo) remains one of the most widely distributed indigenous plant legumes in Southern Africa. The plant possesses some striking attributes, such as rapid growth rate, drought tolerance, adaptation to alkaline and acidic sterile soils, and resistance to a variety of edaphic and temperature changes. In past years V. karroo was recognised to be a major threat to rangeland productivity owing to its invasive nature. Research interest has shifted from its eradication as an unwanted plant to its utilisation as a feed resource for livestock. Extensive utilisation of V. karroo is mainly hindered by the presence of tannins and spines. Prospects to lessen the adverse effects of the anti-nutritional influences are now recognised. Vachellia karroo possesses desirable fatty acid profiles, and high protein and mineral contents that can improve animal performance. Presently, the use of V. karroo for goat production in communal areas is restricted owing to limited evidence for its nutritional value as animal feed. The present review, therefore, seeks to demonstrate the utility potential of V. karroo to improve growth performance, carcass characteristics, chevon quality, meat fatty acid profiles and as a natural anti-helminth for goats raised under an extensive system of production.

不同苜蓿品种在青岛地区的适应性

2007-2010年,在青岛地区对引进的23个国内外苜蓿品种进行了膜侧种植、无灌溉、无施肥模式的田间试验,观测分析了各品种产草量、株高、茎叶比等指标。结果表明,23个苜蓿品种在青岛普遍生长良好,国外品种生产性能优于国内品种;播种当年干草产量膜侧种植组明显高于直接播种组,干草产量增幅(除甘农4号、新疆大叶和牧歌401外)均在50%以上;干草产量与年均日照时数、年均温的灰色关联度分别达到0.795 5和0.878 9,而与年均降水量关联度仅为0.569 1;株高最高的是WL323为87.8 cm,最低的是敖汉苜蓿,仅74.7 cm;供试23个品种的干草产量与株高均存在显著性差异,株高与草产量相关系数达到0.65以上,具有很高的正相关性;茎叶比最低的是牧歌401,仅为1.22,绝大多数苜蓿品种的茎叶比有逐年增加的趋势。综合评价认为供试23个苜蓿品种中的WL323、牧歌401、驯鹿3个品种综合生产性能较好,适宜在青岛地区辅以膜侧种植模式进行大面积推广。     

茧层量差异家蚕品种后部丝腺细胞和血液组织的蛋白质表达谱分析

为了研究家蚕茧层量性状的分子调控机制,采用蛋白质双向电泳和图像分析技术,分析了遗传背景基本相同,而结茧性状和茧层量具有明显差异的正常茧、薄皮茧、裸蛹3个家蚕品种的丝腺细胞和血液组织的蛋白质表达与茧层量的关系。结果表明:裸蛹品种的丝腺细胞蛋白斑点与正常茧品种的蛋白斑点的匹配率仅在65%左右,且存在35%左右的特异蛋白斑点,暗示裸蛹性状可能是主效基因控制的微效多基因遗传;3个品种后部丝腺细胞特异蛋白斑点、匹配蛋白斑点按等电点划分的分布规律具有明显差异,而血液组织相应的分布规律非常相似,暗示丝腺细胞中的蛋白及其基因对家蚕茧层量性状的作用要大于血液组织中的蛋白及其基因;正常茧、薄皮茧和裸蛹3个品种后部丝腺细胞中特异蛋白斑点及上调和下调蛋白斑点中,可能分别存在着与家蚕高茧层量性状、结薄皮茧性状以及不结茧性状有关的蛋白质。     

不同铁源对仔鸡生长的影响

选取1日龄罗曼蛋公鸡90只,随机分为3组,每组30只。以玉米、大豆分离蛋白为主要成分的半纯合基础日粮,在基础日粮中分别添加硫酸亚铁(含铁30%)、蛋氨酸铁(含铁10%)和甘氨酸铁(含铁10%)3种铁源,使铁含量各为80mg/kg,组成对照组和试验Ⅰ组、Ⅱ组。试验期为28d。28日龄时停饲24h后称重屠宰,取内脏器官,结果表明,蛋氨酸铁促进仔鸡体重的增加和内脏器官的发育,在21和28日龄时体重比对照组分别提高了10.57%和14.94%;甘氨酸铁组与对照组相比,差异不显著,但在一定程度上可以促进仔鸡体重的增加和内脏器官的发育。     

Genetic relationships between pelt quality, maternal ability, and lamb production in the Gotland sheep breed

The aim of the present investigation was to study the genetic relationships between pelt quality traits (shade of fleece, size of curl, score for fleece colour, score for curl, score for quality of hair, score for thickness of fleece, sum of pelt scores, and overall score) on one hand and maternal ability, live weight, and carcass traits on the other hand for the Gotland sheep breed. Data were received from the Swedish Sheep Recording Scheme and included observations on 4-month weight (4MW) and pelt quality for 51,402 lambs and on weight (CW), fatness (FAT), and fleshiness (FLESH) of the carcass for 12,440 lambs. The lambs were born during the period 1991–2003. When maternal genetic and permanent environmental effects were included in the model direct heritabilities for the pelt quality traits varied between 0.16 and 0.25. Maternal heritabilities (0.01 to 0.05) and common environmental variances as a fraction of the total phenotypic variances (0.07 to 0.10) were low. Maternal heritabilities were higher for 4MW (0.11) and CW (0.12) than for the pelt quality traits. Direct-maternal genetic correlations were both for the pelt quality traits and for 4MW and CW generally negative and low to medium high. Direct genetic correlations between pelt quality traits on one hand and 4MW, CW, FAT or FLESH on the other hand were low (− 0.16 to 0.12). Maternal genetic correlations between pelt quality traits and 4MW or CW were positive and high (0.38 to 0.96). It was concluded that breeding for increased growth and improved carcass quality would not influence pelt quality negatively or vice versa. If maternal genetic effects are considered for 4MW and CW in the breeding program for the Gotland sheep breed, selection for maternal effects on 4MW and CW will have positive effects both on lamb weight and pelt quality.     

不同水域中水葫芦对铅、镉、铬、汞的富集规律研究

试验主要研究不同水域的水葫芦(Eichhornia crassipes)对铅、镉、铬、汞的吸收规律。采集浙江金华、绍兴等地8处不同水域的水葫芦样品及水样,采用原子吸收光谱法和原子荧光光谱法测定该4种重金属含量。结果表明:水污染严重区域,水葫芦中重金属含量较高。被调查地区水中铅、镉含量显著高于铬及汞含量(P0.05)。水葫芦根中各重金属含量总体高于茎叶,茎叶中镉的含量显著低于铬的含量(P0.05),而根中镉含量也低于铬但差异不显著(P0.05)。在试验条件下,随着水中铅、镉含量的增加,根与茎叶中相应金属含量有上升趋势。
