The use of ultrasonography in the reproductive evaluation of boars

The objective was to study the use of ultrasound as a complementary test in the breeding soundness evaluation in male pigs and study the pattern of echogenicity of the testicular parenchyma in boars of different racial groups. Twenty‐six adult boars from four different racial groups were used, 10 from the Piau breed (group 1), four from the commercial and finishing group (group 2), six Pietrain breed (group 3) and six from the Duroc breed (group 4). All animals were evaluated for breeding soundness evaluation and the ultrasound examination of the testicles. The groups of animals that were evaluated showed no difference in the main semen parameters that were evaluated, except for the sperm volume, concentration of the ejaculated sperm and the supravital staining; the lowest figures were for the animals from the Piau breed (group 1). In relation to the testicular biometrics, Duroc animals (group 4) had a greater scrotal width compared to the other groups. But when we assessed the intensity of pixels of the testicles, there was a difference between groups. The groups 2 (finishing animals), 3 (Pietrain) and 4 had no difference between themselves. Group 3 had greater pixel intensity in relation to group 1. Of the 26 animals studied, five showed an abnormality during ultrasound evaluation, like hydrocele, hyperechoic mass in the testicular parenchyma, cyst in the head of the epididymis and the presence of fluid in the head and tail of the epididymis. The various animal groups studied did not differ in the principal reproductive parameters evaluated, showing that despite the great variability of reproductive traits between breeds and within the same breed, the breeding soundness evaluation, the more complete it is, is essential for the selection of breeders and the ultrasonography of the reproductive system becomes an important addition in this examination.

家禽智慧养殖从业人员继续教育模式调查分析

在全面实施乡村振兴战略和促进畜牧业高质量发展的背景下,为准确辨识对家禽养殖从业人员在智慧养殖技术的继续教育方式方法中存在的不足,及时改进教学模式提升家禽从业人员对于智慧养殖技术的运用能力。对家禽养殖业一线饲养和生产管理的从业人员进行问卷调查,对主要生产环节中智慧养殖技术的教授需求迫切性、教授方式、教学重点内容、生产环节等方面进行调查和数据统计分析。结果表明,从业人员对于家禽智慧养殖技术的需求迫切程度较高;在教育培训方式中,分类报告教授和现场教学的方式为较多人所接受,而对于网络教学的关注度和兴趣相对较低;继续教育内容的关注重点主要集中于智慧养殖中设施设备使用方法、安全事项和实操实践等方面,对于智慧养殖技术原理和新技术的进展,从业人员对其关注度也相对较低;针对教培中涉及的生产环节,从业人员对于家禽养殖环境智能控制和异常行为监测的关注较多。根据调研结果中发现的不足,从5个方面对家禽智慧养殖从业人员教培模式作进一步探讨,给出从业人员继续教育模式的改进措施。     

Expression profiling of transgenes (Cry1Ac and Cry2A) in cotton genotypes under different genetic backgrounds

Transgenic cotton carrying the CrylAc gene has revolutionized insect pest control since its adoption,although the development of resistance in insect pests has reduced its efficacy.After 10 years of cultivating Bacillus thuringiensis(Bt) cotton with a single Cry1 Ac gene,growers are on the verge of adopting Bt cotton that carries the double gene(Cry1 Ac+Cry2 A) due to its better effectiveness against insect pests.Thus,the current study was designed to evaluate the role of each gene in the effect...
