以GB/T 20752-2006中的实验方法为基础,对超高效液相色谱-串联质谱法(UPLCMS/MS)检测水产品中呋喃它酮(AMOZ)、呋喃西林(SEM)、呋喃妥因(AHD)和呋喃唑酮(AOZ)4种硝基呋喃代谢物的样品前处理方法进行了改进。试样用0. 2 mol/L盐酸溶液溶解后,经2-硝基苯甲醛衍生化,加入0. 1 mol/L磷酸氢二钾,混匀后用1 mol/L氢氧化钠溶液调节pH约为7. 4。经乙酸乙酯直接振荡离心提取上清液,氮气吹干经超高效液相色谱串联质谱,采用正离子多反应监测(MRM)模式检测,同位素内标法定量。结果表明,四种代谢物回收率控制在90%～120%之间,RSD10%。实际样品分析结果显示,新的样品前处理方法简单、分析时间短、结果可靠,适合水产品中硝基呋喃代谢物残留的测定。     

脂肪水平对早期断奶犊牛生长性能及血清生化指标的影响

早期断奶犊牛饲喂不同脂肪含量代乳品,研究脂肪水平对犊牛生长性能、血清生化指标及饲料进食量的影响,为犊牛生长规律和脂肪需要提供科学依据,为实际生产中犊牛早期断奶和培育提供技术指导。试验选取12头新生荷斯坦公犊牛,分为EE9、EE13、EE17 3组,每组４头,分别饲喂蛋白质水平相同、脂肪含量为9%、13%及17%的3种代乳品。每日记录犊牛开食料的采食情况,并于犊牛10、20、30、40、50、60日龄清晨空腹测定犊牛体重及体尺指标,同时采集犊牛的血液样本进行分析。研究结果表明,3组犊牛哺乳期的饲料日进食量分别为706.9、666.9、569.3 g;10~60日龄的平均日增重分别为498、544、488 g,EE13组犊牛日增重高于EE9、EE17组的犊牛;犊牛60日龄时,EE13组犊牛的体高、体斜长及管围均高于其它2组。血清尿素氮、血糖、甘油三酯的水平不受代乳品脂肪含量的影响,但日龄对哺乳期犊牛甘油三酯含量的影响差异显著(P<0.05)。随日龄的增加,犊牛的生长速度和饲料的进食量逐渐增加,低脂肪的代乳品(EE9)不能满足犊牛的能量需要,高脂肪的代乳品（EE17）抑制了犊牛对开食料的采食量,饲喂脂肪含量13％的代乳品（EE13）对犊牛生长发育优于其它2组。脂肪含量对犊牛血清生化指标的影响不显著。     

Effect of milking frequency in early lactation on energy metabolism, milk production and reproductive performance of dairy cows

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of imposing different milking frequencies for the first 4 weeks of lactation on energy balance, blood metabolic profiles and reproductive performance. The milking frequencies imposed were once daily for the first 4 weeks of lactation and twice daily subsequently (X1), twice daily for the entire lactation (X2) and three times daily for the first 4 weeks of lactation and twice daily subsequently (X3). Two weeks prior to the first expected calving date, sixty-three multiparous, Holstein-Friesian cows, were allocated to treatments based on expected calving date, parity (lactation number = 2 and lactation number > 2), BCS and BW. Mean DMI was lower (P < 0.05) on X1 than X2 (15.7 and 17.1 kg/day) over the first 4 weeks of lactation, but DMI on X3 was not different to either. Milk yield was lower (P < 0.05) on X1 than on X2 and X3 (24.1, 31.9 and 31.4 kg/day) from weeks 1 to 4 and at week 10 of lactation (30.9, 33.9 and 33.7 kg/day) but was not different at week 20. Yield of milk constituents followed the same pattern as milk yield. Milking frequency had no significant effect on milk fat or protein concentration but milk lactose concentration was higher (P < 0.05) on X1 than on X2. Cows on X1 experienced less (P < 0.05) negative energy balance than those on X2 and X3 from weeks 1 to 4, with no difference between X2 and X3. Cows on X1 lost less BW (P < 0.05) from weeks 1 to 4 and lost less BCS up to day 73 of lactation than cows on X2 and X3. Plasma NEFA and BHB concentrations tended to be lower and plasma glucose tended to be higher on X1 than on X2 and X3 from weeks 1 to 4, while plasma insulin was higher on X1 than on X2 and X3 for the first 2 weeks of lactation. There was no difference between treatments in any reproductive performance variable measured. These results indicate that reduced milking frequency decreases milk yield and improves energy balance and metabolic status in early lactation.     

Effects of Mowing and Tebuthiuron on the Nutritional Quality of Wyoming Big Sagebrush

Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young) is the most abundant and widely distributed subspecies of big sagebrush and has been treated through chemical application, mechanical treatments, and prescribed burning in efforts thought to improve habitat conditions for species such as greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). Although the response of structural attributes of sagebrush communities to treatments is well understood, there is a need to identify how treatments influence the quality of sagebrush as winter food for wildlife. Our purpose was to identify how mowing and tebuthiuron treatments influenced dietary quality of Wyoming big sagebrush in central Wyoming. Two study areas were mowed in January and February 2014, and tebuthiuron was applied in two study areas in May 2014. We constructed 6 exclosures in each of these four study areas (24 total), which encompassed 30 × 30 m areas of treated and untreated sagebrush within each exclosure. Samples of current annual growth were collected from 18 sagebrush plants from treated and 12 plants from control portions of mowing exclosures during November 2013–2015 and tebuthiuron exclosures during November 2014–2015. Samples were analyzed for crude protein and plant secondary metabolites known to influence dietary selection of sagebrush by sage-grouse and other sagebrush-occurring herbivores. Our results suggest mowing and tebuthiuron treatments may slightly increase crude protein concentrations directly after treatments without immediate changes in plant secondary metabolites. Slight increases in dietary quality of sagebrush following treatments coupled with potential trade-offs with loss of biomass associated with treatments corroborates previous research that treating Wyoming big sagebrush may have little benefit for sage-grouse and other sagebrush-dependent wildlife. Future work should evaluate not only how treatments influence sage-grouse habitat use and reproductive success but also how treatments influence other wildlife species in fragile sagebrush ecosystems.     

In vitro hydroxylation of vitamin D3 and 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 in tissues of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, Atlantic mackerel Scomber scombrus, Atlantic halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus and Atlantic cod Gadus morhua

The in vitro metabolism of ¹⁴CD₃ and ³H25OHD₃ was investigated in different tissues from Atlantic salmon Salmo salar , Atlantic mackerel Scomber scombrus , Atlantic halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus and Atlantic cod Gadus morhua . The tissues analysed were liver, kidney, head kidney, gills, spleen and intestine. The metabolites were extracted in methanol–chloroform and separated by normal-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) followed by scintillation counting. Identification of the metabolites was by comigration with standards on normal and reversed-phase HPLC systems and by protein-binding assays. All tissues from all species analysed produced hydroxylated derivatives identified as 25OHD₃, 24,25(OH)₂D₃ and 1,25(OH)₂D₃. In addition, some unidentified derivatives were recorded, one probably being 25,26(OH)₂D₃. Organs producing great amounts of one metabolite also produced considerable amounts of the other possible derivatives, suggesting a lower degree of specificity in fish organs than in human organs. The predominating metabolite was 24,25(OH)₂D₃ in all organs from salmon and mackerel during incubation with ¹⁴CD₃ and within most organs from all species during ³H25OHD₃ incubation. The latter observation probably results from the need for decreasing rather than increasing the calcium absorption in these species, which live at least some periods of life in a marine environment.     

Antifungal activity toPhytophthora infestans of sesquiterpenoids from infected potato tubers

Summary The sesquiterpenes 2-(1',2'-dihydroxy-1'-methylethyl)-6,10-dimethyl-spiro-[4,5]dec-6-en-8-on (1) and its 2'-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2) were isolated from the stress zones of potato tubers infected withPhoma foveata andFusarium spp., and rishitin and solavetivone from tuber slices inoculated withErwinia carotovora. The influence of these compounds, and of the naturally occurring plant sesquiterpenoids abscisic acid, cedrol and farnesol, on the mycelial growth ofPhytophthora infestans were tested on agar plates using a defined medium. All sesquiterpenoids suppressed the growth of the pathogen, except for1 and its glucoside2 which induced a slight, however significant, growth stimulation. Compounds1 and2 could not be isolated fromE. carotovora orP. infestans-inoculated tuber tissue.     

Diel Rhythms of Serum Metabolites and Thyroid Hormones in Red Porgy Held in Different Photoperiod Regimes

Diel rhythms in serum glucose, lactate, cholesterol, triglycerides and thyroid hormones were studied in red porgy, Pagrus pagrus, held under different photoperiod regimes (constant darkness – DD, 8L:16D,12L:12D), at a constant temperature (17.1–18.7 °C) and fed with commercial pellets, by means of a self-feeder. A clear diurnal rhythm in feeding activity, regardless of the photoperiod regime was demonstrated. All serum components showed significant diel rhythms, although they were not necessarily consistent or circadian in periodicity. As well as this, differences in the average values among the varying treatments were observed. Fish held under the 12L:12D protocol displayed significantly higher average T₄, T₃ and lactate levels during the day rather than at night. Maximum glucose values occurred 8–12 h after dawn and maximum lactate concentrations at 06:00 or 14:00 h. Diel variations in cholesterol were evident only in the DD group with peak values inversely correlated with the rhythm of food intake. Triglycerides displayed a similar pattern of changes. Significant diel fluctuations in T₄ serum levels were observed only in fish exposed to the 12L:12D protocol, with peak values at dawn. A clear diurnal peak (10:00 h) in T₃ concentrations was observed in fish subjected to the 12L:12D regime, while fish exposed to the 8L:16D protocol showed two peaks: one in the photophase (10:00 h) and another in the scotophase (02:00 h). The light–dark alternation and the general activity rhythm of fish seem to be the main synchronizers of the diel rhythms observed in this study.
