Duration of estrus induced after GnRH‐PGF2α protocol in dairy heifer

Estrous expressions in dairy cows have been shortened and weakened. Dairy heifers, on the other hand, may not have had such changes in estrous signs as observed in cows, since they have less stresses than cows. The aim of this study was to describe the duration of estrus in a herd of dairy heifers. A total of 56 Holstein Friesian heifers estrus was synchronized using two different hormonal protocols. They were checked for primary and secondary estrous signs with the help of heat detection devices for 48 h at an interval of 4 h starting at 16.00 hour, one day after PGF_2α treatment. Onset and end of standing estrus during 48 h observation period was recorded in 35 of the 44 heifers coming into estrus within 5 days after PGF_2α treatment during the observation period. The duration of standing estrus on the average (±SD) was 9.7 ± 5.3 h. Percentage of heifers with standing estrus longer than 12 h was 40%, and 53% showed standing estrus only for 4–8 h. It is indicated that duration of estrus in dairy heifers has been shortened recently.     

寒区马鹿发情鉴定与最佳输精时间的确定

为使寒区马鹿人工授精有标准可循,并提高其受胎率,对2007年大兴安岭地区马鹿人工输精记录进行了分析。结果表明：生产中,寒区马鹿发情鉴定采取＂公鹿试情为主,人为观察为辅＂综合判定的方式比较准确。人工输精最佳时机是发情末期母鹿拒绝试情公鹿爬跨前的1h到拒绝爬跨后的3h。这一个时段母鹿外观特征主要变化是由兴奋转为安静,从接受公鹿爬跨转为拒爬,外阴肿胀基本消退、颜色呈淡红或暗紫色。

FGF21及其受体FGFR1和FGFR2在小鼠毛囊第1生长周期的表达

旨在通过对FGF21、受体FGFR1和FGFR2在小鼠毛囊第1生长周期中的定位和表达情况的研究,以探索FGF21、受体FGFR1和FGFR2在毛囊发育过程中的作用。选取1、3、5、8、12、17、21和23日龄小鼠背部皮肤,采用免疫组织化学技术,实时荧光定量PCR和蛋白免疫印迹技术检测FGF21、FGFR1和FGFR2 mRNA及蛋白表达。结果显示:在小鼠毛囊第1生长周期中,FGF21主要表达于毛囊毛乳头、毛基质、内外根鞘以及毛囊周围的结缔组织中;FGFR1在毛囊各部均有表达,且在退化期(12～17日龄)和静止期(18～21日龄)主要表达于内外根鞘中;FGFR2广泛表达于毛囊各部。1、3、5、8、12、17日龄FGF 21 mRNA表达量极显著低于23日龄(P<0.01),21日龄的表达量低于23日龄,差异不显著(P>0.05);1～5日龄和23日龄FGF21蛋白表达量较高。1、3、5、8、12、21、23日龄FGFR1 mRNA表达量极显著低于17日龄(P<0.01);FGFR1蛋白表达量从12日龄开始上升,在17日龄时达到最高,之后又呈下降趋势。1、5、8、12、21和23日龄FGFR2 mRNA表达量极显著低于17日龄(P<0.01),在3日龄的表达量低于17日龄,差异不显著(P>0.05);FGFR2蛋白在1～17日龄都有较高表达。综上表明,在第1个毛囊生长周期中,FGF21对参与毛囊形成的成纤维细胞的增殖和分化具有重要作用,诱导毛囊由生长期进入退化期。FGFR1对内外根鞘细胞的增殖、分化有着明显作用,诱导毛囊由退化期进入静止期。FGFR2对毛囊内细胞增殖、分化具有重要作用,诱导毛囊由生长期和退化期进入静止期。

一种从藤粉蝶分离的微孢子虫的生物学特性和分子系统发育研究

从广州市萝岗桑园周边捕捉到的野外昆虫藤粉蝶(Delias pasithoe)成虫体内分离到1株微孢子虫,经人工接种可在家蚕体内全身性寄生。用透射电子显微镜观察到该微孢子虫为双核,极丝11～12圈,极丝同型,基本符合Nosema属微孢子虫超微结构特征。该微孢子虫在其生活史发育过程中以偶倍数核为主,以二分裂方式增殖,形成双核孢子,发育周期为108 h。基于SSU rRNA和rRNA ITS序列的相似性比较和系统进化分析进一步证实该微孢子虫与Nosema属亲缘关系最近,应被分类为Nosema属‘true’Nosema亚群。     

奶牛宫颈粘液CMPx,CMEC与发情及排卵的关系

选取３０头健康黑白花奶牛，在发情期不同时间测定宫颈粘液过氧化物酶（ＣＭＰｘ）的活性及电导率（ＣＭＥＣ），以探讨ＣＭＰｘ、ＣＭＥＣ与发情及排卵的关系。结果表明，ＣＭＰｘ在卵泡成熟期明显下降，与卵泡初期及排卵初期的酶活性差异极显著（Ｐ＜０．０１）；而ＣＭＥＣ在卵泡初期、卵泡成熟期及排卵初期变化不显著（Ｐ＞０．０５）。本研究提示，ＣＭＰｘ在奶牛发情期有特定的变化规律，可以作为预告排卵的指标     

同期排卵处理母牛体温和活动量变化规律及效果分析

为探究同期排卵处理母牛体温和活动量变化规律及不同同期排卵技术处理效果,指导同期排卵技术优化。本研究自动监测了18头20月龄左右同期排卵（GnRH-PG-GnRH）处理荷斯坦母牛和17头产后40~60 d预同期排卵（PG-PG-GnRH-PG-GnRH）处理荷斯坦母牛的体温和活动量,应用自动检测系统进行母牛发情监测。结果发现,同期排卵处理母牛发情时阴道温度平均升高（0.43±0.20）℃,持续（12.37±2.73）h;活动量平均升高（18.28±18.61）倍,持续（11.00±1.68）h;排卵时阴道温度平均下降（0.20±0.10）℃,持续（11.00±1.68）h。自动化发情监测显示,同期排卵处理母牛7头发情并排卵;预同期排卵母牛GnRH处理前全部发情排卵。两种同期排卵处理,虽可改变母牛性周期进程,促进母牛性周期同步化,但均难以使母牛性周期完全同步。因此,将同期排卵-定时输精和发情鉴定技术科学结合才能取得更好的繁殖效果。     

Study on the Changes of Reproductive Hormone and Regulation of Follicle Development During the Reproductive Cycle of Yili Goose in Xinjiang

This experiment was aimed to study the changes of reproductive hormone and regulation of follicle development during the reproductive cycle of Yili goose in Xinjiang. 2 years old Yili goose were chosen which were in good health and similar weight. 32 samples were randomly selected to take blood samples for hormone detection during the laying, broodiness and ceased periods, and 15 samples were randomly selected to gather ovarian tissue for the observation of the development of ovary and follicular. The results showed that during the laying period, the GnRH of the Yili goose was extremely significantly higher than the broodiness and ceased periods of 16.78% and 58.29% (P<0.01);PRL was significantly lower than the broodiness period of 13.00% (P<0.05), and was extremely significantly higher than the ceased period of 28.94% (P<0.01); FSH was higher than the broodiness period of 6.98% (P>0.05),and was extremely significantly higher than the ceased period of 21.12% (P<0.01); LH was extremely significantly lower than the broodiness period of 8.38% (P<0.01),and was extremely significantly higher than the ceased period of 16.84% (P<0.01); E₂ were extremely significantly higher than that the broodiness and ceased periods of 29.80% and 112.40% (P<0.01); P₄ levels were extremely significantly higher than the broodiness and ceased periods of 28.89% and 30.34% (P<0.01). The ovary volume and weight of Yili goose were extremely significantly higher than that of broodiness and ceased periods (P<0.01). In the laying period, the mature follicles of Yili goose were significantly larger than that of the broodiness and resting periods, the number of secondary follicles was more and the number of primary follicles was lesser. Ovarian growth and mature follicle atresia, granule layer shrinkage, inward depression, cytoplasmic cavity, follicular atrophy at all levels in the broodiness period. The follicle cytoplasmic cavity of the ovary was larger in the ceased period than broodiness period, and inward concave further deeper, a large number of primordial follicles evenly arranged. Thus, during the laying period, the responses of GnRH, E₂ and LH of Yili goose were active and played a leading role on the development of ovarian and follicular. PRL and LH maintained a high level of secretion, cooperated to maintain the broodiness behavior during the broodiness period.
