覆膜种植方式对东祁连山区苜蓿草地土壤温度和水分的影响

高寒地区耐寒苜蓿品种和适宜栽培技术的缺乏,严重阻碍着该区域旱作苜蓿和草地畜牧业的发展。于东祁连山甘肃天祝高寒牧区通过设置平膜全覆、垄沟覆膜、垄沟覆膜+覆土和垄沟（不覆膜）4种种植方式,探讨不同种植方式对苜蓿草地土壤温度和水分的影响,旨在为祁连山高寒区苜蓿的高产栽培提供理论依据。结果表明,高寒区平膜全覆种植方式的增温效果最佳,其次为垄沟覆膜、垄沟,垄沟覆膜+覆土最弱。地膜提温主要在苜蓿生长初期（5月）和生长期（6-7月）,主要集中在0~15 cm的浅层土壤。5-9月平膜全覆0~25 cm土层白天平均温度为19.83 ℃,分别比垄沟覆膜、垄沟覆膜+覆土和垄沟处理同期同层高出1.85 ℃、3.04 ℃和2.98 ℃。垄沟覆膜处理下土壤含水量最大,其土壤含水量比平膜全覆、垄沟覆膜+覆土和垄沟处理的土壤含水量高4.3%~14.5%,4.2%~13.8%和14.3%~24.8%。平膜全覆对天祝高寒区苜蓿生长在温度上的贡献最大,而垄沟覆膜在水分上的贡献最大。     

温热环境对育肥猪体温调节的影响规律

环境温湿度是影响育肥猪福利、生长及健康的重要因素。猪属于恒温动物,当环境温湿度发生变化时,可以通过调整自身的产热量、采食量、呼吸频率、皮肤温度及体核温度等指标来维持产热和散热的平衡,从而在一定温湿度范围内维持体温的恒定。本文总结和分析了育肥猪在不同环境温湿度条件下体温调节指标发生剧烈变化的顺序,判断不同温度下育肥猪的舒适状态,为今后研究、建立猪舒适环境参数,科学调控猪舍内的温热环境提供参考。     

Thermographic Eye Temperature as an Index to Body Temperature in Ponies

Infrared thermography (IRT) is a passive, remote, and noninvasive method of measuring surface temperatures. Select surface locations, such as the eye, could indicate body temperature. To investigate whether thermographic eye temperatures were associated with body temperatures and could be used to detect febrile ponies, we measured IRT eye temperatures, rectal temperatures, and implanted thermal microchip temperatures from 24 male ponies daily for 3 consecutive days. Information regarding distance of the pony from the IRT device, presence of direct sunlight during the measurement period, and ambient temperature were also collected. A multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that 60.41% of the variance in IRT was accounted for by rectal temperature, sunlight, and distance between the camera and the pony, with rectal temperature being the major contributor to variance (46.23%). Using a rectal temperature of >38.6°C (101.5°F) as the indicator of febrile status, sensitivity and specificity of the IRT device used to detect the febrile ponies were found to be 74.6% and 92.3%, respectively, when using the maximum IRT eye temperature per pony per day. In conclusion, IRT eye temperature could be a preliminary screening tool to determine whether a more time-consuming, labor-intensive, and invasive method (e.g., rectal temperature) is warranted for fever validation.     

Oral administration of L-citrulline changes the concentrations of plasma hormones and biochemical profile in heat-exposed broilers

We examined the effects of oral administration of L-citrulline (L-Cit) on plasma metabolic hormones and biochemical profile in broilers. Food intake, water intake, and body temperature were also analyzed. After dual oral administration (20 mmol/head/administration) of L-Cit, broilers were exposed to a high ambient temperature (HT; 30 ± 1°C) chamber for 120 min. Oral administration of L-Cit reduced (p < .001) rectal temperature in broilers. Food intake was increased (p < .05) by heat stress, but it was reduced (p < .05) by L-Cit. Plasma levels of 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine, which initially increased (p < .0001) due to heat stress, were reduced (p < .01) by oral administration of L-Cit. Plasma insulin levels were increased by heat exposure (p < .01) and oral L-Cit (p < .05). Heat stress caused a decline (p < .05) in plasma thyroxine. Plasma lactic acid (p < .05) and non-esterified fatty acids (p < .01) were increased in L-Cit-treated heat-exposed broilers. In conclusion, our results suggest that oral L-Cit can modulate plasma concentrations of major metabolic hormones and reduces food intake in broilers.     

苜蓿籽蜂越冬虫态对温度的敏感性

本研究将当年收获的苜蓿（Medicago sativa）种子储存于4个温度条件下,采用定期剖种的方法,调查苜蓿籽蜂（Bruchophagus roddi）的越冬虫态及其存活情况。结果表明,苜蓿籽蜂主要以3龄幼虫在苜蓿种子内滞育越冬。10月从田间将苜蓿种子收回,储存温度在18.0 ℃、平均湿度为27.2%（10―12月）时,越冬幼虫于当年12月下旬开始化蛹;储存温度在9.9 ℃,平均湿度为40.1%（10月―次年2月）时,越冬幼虫于次年2月下旬开始化蛹。不同温度和不同时间梯度处理苜蓿种子结果表明,在50 ℃、-30 ℃条件下处理1 d,籽蜂幼虫的死亡率均达100%,苜蓿种子的发芽率分别为93.33%和88.33%。
