Admixture analysis in relation to pedigree studies of introgression in a minority British cattle breed: the Lincoln Red

Investigation of historic population processes using molecular data has been facilitated by the use of approximate Bayesian computation (ABC), which enables the consideration of multiple alternative demographic scenarios. The Lincoln Red cattle breed provides a relatively simple example of two well‐documented admixture events. Using molecular data for this breed, we found that structure did not resolve very low (<5% levels) of introgression, possibly due to sampling limitations. We evaluated the performance of two ABC approaches (2BAD and DIYABC) against those of two earlier methodologies, ADMIX and LEADMIX, by comparing their interpretations with the conclusions drawn from herdbook analysis. The ABC methods gave credible values for the proportions of the Lincoln Red genotype that are attributable to Aberdeen Angus and Limousin, although estimates of effective population size and event timing were not realistic. We suggest ABC methods are a valuable supplement to pedigree‐based studies but that the accuracy of admixture determination is likely to diminish with increasing complexity of the admixture scenario.     

净能体系在肉鸡应用中的研究进展

能量是肉鸡各种生命活动的基础,也是肉鸡饲料中价格占比最高的元素,主要源于日粮中碳水化合物、脂肪和蛋白质的化学能。准确评估肉鸡能量需要量和日粮成分能量水平在肉鸡营养和生产中具有重要的科研和经济价值。代谢能（ME）体系是目前用于家禽饲料原料能值评定的成熟体系,在家禽营养和配方中被广泛使用。但和净能（NE）体系相比,代谢能体系忽略了饲料中不同原料成分摄食和消化过程中的热增耗（HI）差异对原料能值评价的影响,降低了原料能值评定的准确性。因此,作者结合国内外肉鸡净能相关研究进展,重点就肉鸡净能测定方法、肉鸡原料净能预测方程和影响肉鸡净能体系应用因素等方面进行综述讨论,以期为净能体系在肉鸡生产中的应用提供参考。

为提高啤酒糟的饲用价值,开发啤酒糟功能性饲料添加剂,对啤酒糟采用碳酸钠和双氧水进行预处理,采用单因素试验和响应面分析法,对啤酒糟制备低聚木糖饲料添加剂的酶解条件进行了研究。结果表明:当初始pH5.5,木聚糖酶201 U/g,纤维素酶248 U/g,酶解温度48℃,酶解时间3 h时,啤酒糟中低聚木糖含量为23.8673 mg/g。     

空肠弯曲杆菌生物学特性及分型技术研究新进展

Campylobacter jejuni (C.jejuni) is a major pathogen of human campylobacteriosis, as well as one of the major food-borne pathogen. It can not only cause human diarrhea, but also cause many systemic diseases such as endocarditis, arthritis, septisis. The most serious complication it can cause is the Guillain Barre syndrome. In developed countries, C.jejuni even has a trend to excess Salmonella and be reported as next Salmonella, which has caused a worldwide concern. Analysis of biological characteristics for C.jejuni can help us to distinguish it with other pathogens. Typing methods play important roles in the identification, monitoring and prevention of C.jejuni. It can also help us to understand its virulence and resistance mechanisms to C.jejuni. This paper reviews advances of C.jejuni in biological characteristics, serotyping and genotyping methods so as to help us further understand its new progress in these areas.

Crown projection area of young Pinus sylvestris: A model and its test

In this study we applied a theoretical model for determining the projection area of a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) crown in different directions. The model is based on the assumption that the foliage elements (shoots) are randomly distributed within a symmetrical crown envelope. The model was tested using photographically measured data for three young Scots pine crowns. The compatibility between calculated and measured values was satisfactory.

耕作方式对土壤理化性状及夏玉米生长发育和产量的影响

研究耕作方式对土壤理化性状、夏玉米生长发育及籽粒产量的影响,为黄淮海北部地区土壤结构改善和籽粒产量提高提出有利的科学依据。试验设夏玉米前茬深松、翻耕、隔年深松和传统耕作旋耕4个处理。研究结果表明,深松、隔年深松、翻耕能够显著降低10 cm以下土层的土壤紧实度;提高各生育时期土壤含水量,尤其以20～40 cm土层表现最为明显;增加20～60 cm土层速效钾含量;有利于维持夏玉米灌浆中后期叶面积指数,干物质的积累量增加7．79％～18．09％;提高籽粒最大灌浆速率、平均灌浆速率,每公顷产量提高4．1％～9．3％。各处理间以深松和隔年深松处理表现最好,且两处理无显著差异。本试验条件下,隔年深松是兼顾高产节能高效的耕作方式。
