True Metabolizable Energy and Amino Acid Digestibility of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles

In recent years, policies encouraging the production of ethanol have stimulated an enormous increase in the production of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). The form of the ingredient that is becoming increasingly available differs from that of previous decades in that it is derived almost entirely from corn and is dried under less severe conditions. Seventeen DDGS samples were obtained from 6 different plants in the midwestern United States from 2002 to 2004. Each sample was analyzed for TME_n, and 8 representative samples were analyzed for total and digestible amino acids (AA) by the precision-fed rooster assay using conventional or cecectomized Single Comb White Leghorn roosters, respectively. Color [lightness (L*), redness (a*), and yellowness (b*)] of each DDGS sample was measured with a Minolta Chroma Meter CR-300. The TME_n ranged from 2,490 to 3,190 kcal/kg (86% DM basis) and had a mean of 2,820 kcal/kg. Variation was noted among samples, presumably reflecting differences in the original corn composition, fermentation, and disposition of solubles. Considerable differences were observed among the true AA digestibilities of the DDGS samples. Most samples were golden in color, and true AA digestibility values were relatively consistent among these samples. The average total concentration and digestibility coefficients of several most limiting AA for the 8 DDGS samples were as follows: Lys, 0.71% (70); Met, 0.54% (87); cystine, 0.56% (74); Thr, 0.96% (75), Val, 1.33% (80), Ile, 0.97% (83); and Arg, 1.09% (84). Correlations were found among digestible Lys, Thr, Arg, His, and Trp and the yellowness (b*) and lightness (L*) of the DDGS samples. In general, DDGS samples that were more yellow and lighter in color had higher total and digestible AA levels. The variation in TME_n and AA digestibility observed among samples strongly indicated that confirmatory analyses should be conducted prior to using samples from a new supplier.     

氨基酸代谢与免疫反应

炎症反应和感染性疾病均可改变机体的蛋白质和氨基酸需要,导致动物采食量下降、生长受阻和肌肉消耗,这主要是因细胞因子(如IL-1、IL-6、TNF-α)的增加而改变了蛋白质代谢。在免疫反应中,氨基酸将发生重分配并主要用于合成参与炎症和免疫反应的蛋白质以及参与免疫细胞增殖和其他免疫反应的重要化合物。免疫系统的活化可干扰机体正常的生理反应并导致对某些特殊氨基酸的需要量增加。本文主要综述了某些特殊氨基酸(通常是必需氨基酸)在免疫反应中的重要作用。

家禽脂肪酸代谢及其在禽蛋中的沉积和营养调控

在肝脏中载脂蛋白作用下,内源合成或外源获取的脂肪酸以甘油三酯的形式同胆固醇及其他脂类组装形成极低密度脂蛋白(VLDL)。VLDL经血液循环到达卵巢,穿过卵母细胞外层屏障后,经卵母细胞受体介导的内吞作用进入卵母细胞发生沉积。而机体的营养状况或饲粮中营养成分的改变可通过影响脂肪酸的从头合成或VLDL结构直接或间接影响禽蛋中脂肪酸的最终沉积。本文阐述了家禽体内脂肪酸的来源、转运与沉积过程,并探讨了脂肪酸代谢及其在禽蛋中沉积的营养调控。     

菌剂对高寒地区土壤微生物群落结构及固氮菌群的影响

为了探究微生物菌剂替代无机化肥对土壤微生物群落结构与固氮菌群的影响。本试验以甘南高寒地区青稞(Hordeum vulgare var.celeste Linnaeus)种植地土壤为研究对象。试验设置不同施肥处理,即不施肥(CK)、单施化肥(T1)、菌剂+75%化肥(T2)、菌剂+50%化肥(T3)、菌剂+25%化肥(T4)和全施菌剂(T5)。通过测定土壤微生物磷脂脂肪酸(Phospholipid fatty acid, PLFA)、自生固氮菌数量等指标。结果表明：随菌剂替代化肥的比例增加,土壤中微生物总PLFA增加,土壤微生物压力指数逐渐减小。土壤脲酶、微生物量氮、硝态氮和铵态氮呈先增加后减少的趋势,在T4处理下达到最大值,分别为0.42 mg·(g·d)^-1,9.32 mg·kg^-1,9.66 mg·kg^-1和6.84 mg·kg^-1。本研究说明菌剂可以部分替代无机化肥,当替代量为75%时,不但不会造成土壤中氮素含量下降,还能改变土壤微生物群落结构。这一发现为青藏高原耕作区无机化肥的减施提供了科学...

大米粉的猪回肠氨基酸真消化率测定

大米加工副产品大米粉长期以来被添加到米糠中利用，显著降低了其利用率。本试验用三头施以回直肠吻合术猪，采用单因子设计，以大米粉为半纯合日粮，无氮日粮由醋酸纤维素提供粗纤维来测定内源值，测定了大米粉的猪回肠末端氨基酸表观消化率和真消化率。大米粉的回肠末端氨基酸的表观消化率的平均值为76．20％，真消化率的平均值为85.86％。这些数据可为我国氨基酸消化率数据库提供参考，并且可作为以可消化氨基酸为基础配制日粮时的依据。     

Research Progress of Fatty Acid Regulation of microRNAs in Dairy Cow Mammary Glands

Lipids are a kind of substance which can store and provide energy for animals. A large number of studies have confirmed that the change of lipids in diets can alter the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) and thus affect the biological activities of the bodies. This review mainly summarizes the regulation of fatty acids on the expression of miRNAs in mammary gland of dairy cows, from the aspects of bovine mammary miRNAs expression characteristics, miRNAs that regulate milk fat synthesis, and the changed bovine mammary miRNAs in response to exogenous addition of fatty acids. All these works may be beneficial for the establishment of the connection between nutrients and mammary function, and provide information for the related research in the future.     

The Nutritive Value For Growing Pigs of Single Cell Protein (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) Produced from Sulphite Spent Liquor

The effects on growing pigs of substituting 4.5 and 9 % of soy bean meal with a corresponding amount of single cell protein produced from sulphite spent liquor in a diet based on cereals and fish meal have been studied. The concentration of lignosulphonic acids in the single cell protein product was found to be 0.6 % ± 0.2 % (m. ± s). No differences in the weight gain, feed conversion ratio or fat thickness of the pigs, as compared with the controls, were observed when fed single cell protein-containing diets from about 29 to 80 kg in the course of 11 weeks. Nor were any effects found on addition of 0.15 % of methionine to the diets.
