本试验以低胆碱、低蛋氨酸饲粮为基础饲粮,通过两因子二次回归正交旋转组合设计,旨在研究1～21日龄肉仔鸡胆碱和蛋氨酸的最佳需要量.试验选用1日龄爱拔益加(AA)肉仔鸡480只,随机分为12个组,其中1～8组为试验组,9～12组为中心组,每组4个重复,每个重复10只鸡,公母各占1/2.分别以胆碱和蛋氨酸为自变量,以反映肉仔鸡生长性能和屠宰性能的各项指标为因变量拟合回归方程,估计1～21日龄肉仔鸡胆碱和蛋氨酸需要量.试验期21d.结果表明:一定水平的胆碱和蛋氨酸可显著改善1～21日龄肉仔鸡的平均日增重、料重比、屠宰率和腹脂率.从响应面图可以看出,当蛋氨酸水平为0.50％～0.70％时,随着胆碱水平的降低,肉仔鸡平均日增重逐渐降低;当蛋氨酸水平为0.42％～0.50％,胆碱水平为1300～1738 mg/kg时,肉仔鸡的料重比达到最低;蛋氨酸水平为0.50％～0.70％时,屠宰率随着蛋氨酸水平的升高而下降,蛋氨酸为0.36％～0.50％时,随着胆碱水平的升高,屠宰率呈上升趋势;随着胆碱水平的升高,腹脂率逐渐降低,当胆碱水平为1300 ～1920 mg/kg时,腹脂率随蛋氨酸水平的降低而下降.在本试验条件下,当胆碱水平为1434～1631mg/kg,蛋氨酸水平为0.47％时,肉仔鸡可达到最佳生长性能;当胆碱水平为1984 mg/kg,蛋氨酸水平为0.49％时,肉仔鸡可达到最佳屠宰性能.     

种子活力与萌发的生理与分子机制研究进展

种子活力形成于种子发育的脱水阶段,与以往理解不同,近来研究表明种子脱水不仅仅是一个简单的失水过程,脱水与萌发存在一些相同的基因表达和代谢特征。萌发始于吸水膨胀,种子代谢恢复,胚根突破胚乳和种皮等外围包被组织完成萌发。种子萌发的质量关键在于储藏的mRNA的质量,另外,蛋白质稳定性和DNA完整性影响萌发的表型。激素作为一种信号小分子物质,浓度极小甚至是趋于零时对种子萌发仍具有非常重要的作用,近年来研究表明ABA/GAs的阈值范围调控种子休眠与萌发,其中,ABA几乎作用于种子萌发的全部过程,GA的作用并不像ABA那样广泛,主要在胚根突出时发生作用,且ABA和GA彼此抑制对方的合成与分解代谢基因,它们均可调控α-淀粉酶基因的转录。除ABA和GA外,近来发现AUX参与调控种子的休眠与萌发,其对胚根突出的调控比对子叶开展更加精细,AUX信号与ABA信号存在交叉,AUX通过其响应蛋白ARF10/16间接调控ABA信号通路中ABI3的稳定性来调控拟南芥种子休眠与萌发。与光照条件下相比,在土壤中萌发的幼苗将形成一个特异性的组织“顶钩”,它的主要作用是在幼苗“顶土”时保护顶端分生组织,“顶钩”形成与生长素的不均匀分布有关。为了提高种子活力,引发技术被运用于生产,引发的关键在于控制种子“萌而未发”,在“回干窗口”内及时脱水,引发过程中种子储藏的mRNAs和蛋白已经执行功能,回干后这种分子机制被“牢记”,再吸胀的种子可以迅速整齐的萌发。除毒害分子外,ROS还作为信号分子参与调控种子休眠释放、胚乳松弛和贮藏物动员,且其与激素分子ABA和GA等存在交互作用,ROS还参与蛋白的翻译和翻译后修饰调控种子萌发吸水和贮藏物动员。在种子萌发过程中,甲硫氨酸代谢是代谢核心,其代谢产物广泛参与调控种子萌发的一些生理生化反应,如：DNA的合成,蛋白质的稳定性,染色体结构的形成和重塑,生物素的合成等,另外还与激素分子ABA、GA、ETH和CTK及活性氧活性（氮）存在交互作用。近来还发现甲硫氨酸亚砜还原酶决定种子的寿命,它可能是种子活力的一个新的分子标记。本文将围绕上述内容对国内外研究现状进行综述,并对今后的研究热点,种子“提早”收获的感官依据,高活力种子田间出苗差异的分子机制,生长素在胚根突出时的重要作用,甲硫氨酸代谢,种子活力检测方法的选择等内容进行了展望。     

Supplementing rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) broodstock diets with choline and methionine improves growth in offspring

Nutritional programming represents the mechanism through which broodstock feeding strategies have lifelong effects on the offspring generation. The objective of this study was to determine whether supplementing rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss broodstock diets with choline and methionine affects offspring growth performance. Experimental diets were produced by top-dressing a commercial broodstock diet with (a) 12,000 ppm methionine, (b) 7,400 ppm choline, (c) 12,000 ppm methionine and 7,400 ppm choline, or (d) water (control). Six rainbow trout families were fed experimental diets beginning 18 months post-hatch through spawning; the offspring consumed a commercial diet. The broodstock diet did not affect maternal body weight, body condition, egg size, or egg yield (p > .05). Eggs from choline-treated broodstock contained 10% more choline than control eggs (p < .05). Offspring from choline-treated broodstock were smaller than controls at 146 days post-hatch (dph) (p < .05). At the final harvest (439 dph), offspring from the control broodstock weighed 12–18% less than offspring from broodstock consuming the supplemented diets (p < .05). However, there was a significant diet-by-family interaction on offspring growth (p < .05); supplemented diets improved performance in three of the six broodstock families. These findings indicate that supplementing broodstock diets with methionine and choline causes a nutritional programming effect that benefits growth in offspring.

选用4头平均体重420 kg、年龄2.5岁装有永久性瘤胃瘘管的西门塔尔牛阉牛,采用4x4拉丁方设计,以混合精料和风干玉米秸秆为基础日粮,以蛋氨酸硒为硒源,在基础日粮中分别添加硒0 mg·kg-1、0.3mg·kg-1、0.6 mg·kg-1和0.9 mg·kg-1,研究蛋氨酸硒对西门塔尔牛瘤胃pH、氨态氮、VFA、营养物质降解率及尿嘌呤衍生物浓度的影响.结果表明:不同浓度硒处理间西门塔尔牛瘤胃pH、挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)和乙酸,丙酸无显著差异(P>0.05),氨态氮浓度显著低于对照(P<0.05);0.6mg·kg-1硒处理组西门塔尔牛玉米秸秆干物质(DM)、有机物质(OM)、中性洗涤纤维(NDF)、酸性洗涤纤维(ADF)和豆粕DM、OM、粗蛋白质(CP)有效降解率均显著高于对照(P<0.05);0.6mg·kg-1和0.9mg·kg-1硒处理组西门塔尔牛尿囊素和尿嘌呤衍生物浓度显著高于0.3 mg·kg-1组和对照组(P<0.05);西门塔尔牛日粮以蛋氨酸硒为硒源时,硒的适宜添加浓度为0.6 mg·kg-1.     

Effects of dietary methionine supplementation on growth performance,intestinal morphology,antioxidant capacity and immune function in intra‐uterine growth‐retarded suckling piglets

This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with _L‐methionine (_L‐Met), _DL‐methionine (_DL‐Met) and calcium salt of the methionine hydroxyl analog (MHA‐Ca) on growth performance, intestinal morphology, antioxidant capacity and immune function in intra‐uterine growth‐retarded (IUGR) suckling piglets. Six normal birthweight (NBW) female piglets and 24 same‐sex IUGR piglets were selected at birth. Piglets were fed nutrient adequate basal diet supplemented with 0.08% _L‐alanine (NBW‐CON), 0.08% _L‐alanine (IUGR‐CON), 0.12% _L‐Met (IUGR‐LM), 0.12% _DL‐Met (IUGR‐DLM) and 0.16% MHA‐Ca (IUGR‐MHA‐Ca) from 7 to 21 days of age respectively (n = 6). The results indicated that IUGR decreased average daily milk (dry matter) intake and average daily gain and increased feed conversion ratio of suckling piglets (p < 0.05). Compared with the NBW‐CON piglets, IUGR also impaired villus morphology and reduced antioxidant capacity and immune homeostasis in the intestine of IUGR‐CON piglets (p < 0.05). Supplementation with _L‐Met enhanced jejunal villus height (VH) and villus area and ileal VH of IUGR piglets compared with IUGR‐CON piglets (p < 0.05). Similarly, _DL‐Met supplementation increased VH and the ratio of VH to crypt depth in the jejunum compared with IUGR‐CON pigs (p < 0.05). Supplementation with _L‐Met and _DL‐Met (0.12%) tended to increase reduced glutathione content and reduced glutathione: oxidized glutathione ratio and decrease protein carbonyl concentration in the jejunum of piglets when compared with the IUGR‐CON group (p < 0.10). However, supplementation with MHA‐Ca had no effect on the intestinal redox status of IUGR piglets (p > 0.10). In conclusion, supplementation with either _L‐Met or _DL‐Met has a beneficial effect on the intestinal morphology and antioxidant capacity of IUGR suckling piglets.     

Dietary methionine requirement of juvenile Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus (L.)

The dietary methionine requirement of juvenile Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus (L.) was assessed by feeding diets supplemented with graded levels of DL-methionine (9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 g kg⁻¹dietary protein) for 16 weeks at 12°C. All diets contained 400 g kg⁻¹ protein, 170 g kg⁻¹ lipid, 66 g kg⁻¹ ash and an estimated 17.5 MJ digestible energy (DE) kg⁻¹. When live-weight gain was examined using quadratic regression, the estimate of methionine requirement for optimal growth was 17.6 g kg⁻¹ of dietary protein (DP) or 7 g kg⁻¹ of the diet. Requirements estimated on the basis of carcass protein and energy gains were 18.8 and 17.9 g kg⁻¹ DP, respectively. Plasma methionine concentrations and ocular focal length variability measurements did not provide a sensitive measure of requirement, because each responded in a linear fashion to increasing dietary methionine levels. Based on the prevalence of cataracts, the methionine level required to prevent lens pathology (26.7 g kg⁻¹ DP) appears to be higher than that required for maximum growth.     

Effects of different dietary protein levels and DL‐methionine supplementation on hair growth and pelt quality in mink (Neovision vision)

The effect of different dietary protein levels and DL‐methionine (Met) supplementation on hair growth and the resulting pelt quality in mink was studied. Four groups of male mink were fed with four isocaloric diets containing 32% (P32), 24% (P24), 16% (P16) or P24+Met (0.8%) crude protein of dry matter (DM) from September to December. Skin biopsies were taken at the pelting. Histological techniques and computer‐assisted light microscopy were used to determine the ratio of activity (ROA) of under hairs and guard hairs respectively. The results showed that when the dietary protein level reduced from 32% to 16%, body length, number and diameter of under hairs and guard hairs of minks declined, and pelt length and pelt weight of minks decreased significantly (p < 0.05). These parameters were similar between P32 and P24 with Met supplementation (p > 0.05). The hair follicle density of the winter coat was not influenced by the dietary protein levels and Met supplementation (p > 0.05). Low‐protein diets content led to a reduction of hair follicle developing to next phase. It was documented that 24% crude protein of DM with Met supplementation during growing‐furring period was sufficient for minks to express their genetic capacity to develop hair follicles and achieve the prime fur characteristics. Overall this study demonstrated that hair growth and hair properties in pelts are very dependent on the dietary protein and Met supply in the growing‐furring period of minks.
