A recombinant-based ELISA evaluating the efficacy of netobimin and albendazole in ruminants with naturally acquired fascioliasis

The therapeutic efficacy of albendazole and netobimin in ruminants with naturally occurring fascioliasis was investigated using a recombinant-based ELISA. The variation in the IgG response against a 2.9-kDa recombinant protein (FhrAPS), termed efficacy index (EI) 1, and the egg-output changes, termed EI 2, were used to evaluate drug efficacy.The values of EI 1 ranged between 0% and 50% in sheep, and between 0% and 30% in cattle after treatment with albendazole and netobimin. Similar EI 2 values were observed in sheep receiving albendazole or netobimin, but the highest values were found in cattle treated with netobimin. The significant reduction in the IgG response to FhrAPS found in this study shows promise in terms of developing alternative methods for evaluating the efficacy of chemotherapy against Fasciola hepatica in grazing ruminants.     

根据雏鸡血清酶活性对蛋鸡进行早期选种的研究

本研究测定了147只8、12周龄S220母雏血清碱性磷酸酶(AKP)、谷草转氨酶和乳酸脱氢酶活性,估测其遗传力及其与产蛋性能间的表型相关和遗传相关。结果表明,8周龄血清AKP活性遗传力为0.62,300日龄产蛋量遗传力为0.20,两者间的遗传相关为0.8245。利用8周龄血清AKP活性作为辅助性状对300日龄产蛋量进行间接选择,其间接选择效率为个体选择的1.4519倍,为家系选择的1.4837倍,为合并选择的1.1887倍。因此,8周龄血清AKP活性可作为蛋鸡早期选种血液生化指标之一。     

The effect of different food types and rations on the liver and muscle of cod (Gadus morhua L.)

In a short time feeding experiment it was shown that the liver weight of cod was significantly reduced in prawn-fed cod compared to sand-eel-fed cod. The dry weight and the protein content of the muscle were not significantly reduced. It is concluded that short time energy deprivation of cod primarily affects the liver. The results futher support the view that the food type and ration of cod can produce anomalous effects in field studies of e.g. parasite induced liver weight decrease in cod.     

包膜氮肥配施不同用量钾肥对多年生黑麦草植株生理指标及产量的影响

通过盆栽试验研究包膜氮肥配施不同用量钾肥对多年生黑麦草(Lolium perenne)生长特性及产量的影响,以期明确适宜黑麦草生长的最佳施肥配比。结果表明,与普通尿素相比,包膜氮肥显著提高了黑麦草植株SPAD值、株高、叶面积、净光合速率(P <0.05),明显延长了黑麦草绿期,防止早衰。施用等量钾肥条件下,包膜氮肥处理比普通尿素处理4次刈割的SPAD值分别提高11.2%、 6.9%、 33.6%和195.2%,株高分别增加14.1%、 6.0%、 25.1%和85.4%。包膜氮肥处理较普通尿素处理的干草产量提高了12.4%～25.0%。包膜氮肥配施中量钾肥处理能最大程度增加叶面积指数和净光合速率,提高黑麦草产量,因此推荐作为最佳施肥配比,为黑麦草的氮钾肥合理施用提供理论依据。     

Cross-sectional area of the tendons of the tarsal region in Standardbred trotter horses

Reasons for performing study: The assessment of a normal range for cross‐sectional area (CSA) of tendons in the tarsal region is important in order to use them as reference values in the identification of pathological changes of dimensions. Objectives: To provide normal reference values for the CSA of the tendons of the tarsus of Standardbred trotter horses (STH) by means of ultrasonography. Methods: Transverse echographic images of the tendons were obtained at different levels proximodistally; these images were digitised and CSA values (mean ± s.d.) were obtained for each structure. Results: The largest structure corresponded with the lateral digital flexor/caudal tibial tendon complex at Level 1 and the smallest was the medial digital flexor tendon at Level 4. Almost all tendons showed a slight decreasing in their CSA when crossing the tarsus. Conclusions: The normal CSA values of tendinous structures in the tarsal region of the STH are reported. These data could be used as anatomical references. Potential relevance: The establishment of reference values could serve as a tool to discriminate between normal and abnormal dimensions of tarsal tendons in STH. Other horse breeds should need their own reference values.     

水分对柠条萌蘖株和未平茬株光合参数及调渗物质的影响

对柠条Caragana korshinskii平茬后的萌蘖株和未平茬的对照株在夏季旺盛生长期进行了水分处理,并研究了浇水前后萌蘖株和对照株光合参数及调渗物质的变化。浇水前,萌蘖株具有较高的水势 (LWP)、光合速率(A)、气孔导度(G)、蒸腾速率(E)、光系统II最大光化学量子效率(Fv/Fm)和光系统II实际量子产率(△F/Fm′);而对照株相应指标较低,但对照株光化学猝灭系数（NPQ）,脯氨酸(Pro)、 丙二醛(MDA)含量较高。浇水后,对照株LWP、A、G、E、Fv/Fm、△F/Fm′均有不同程度的上升,而NPQ值和Pro、MAD的含量下降。浇水对萌蘖株和对照株叶绿素(Chla+b)含量影响不显著,且浇水前后萌蘖株均高于对照株。结果表明：萌蘖株在生长季所受干旱胁迫较小,植物将更多的光能以光合作用的形式利用,植物生长迅速;而对照株所受干旱胁迫的影响较为严重,光合速率低,植物将更多的光能以热的形式消耗,导致植物生长缓慢。

钙和维生素D3对肉仔鸡肉品质和血液生化指标的影响

本试验旨在研究饲粮中添加高水平的钙和维生素D3对AA肉仔鸡肉品质和血液生化指标的影响。试验采用2×2完全随机因子设计,选用240只21日龄AA肉仔鸡,随机分成4个处理,每个处理6个重复,每个重复10只。试验期为28 d。玉米-豆粕型基础日粮中含钙0.90%、维生素D3 750 IU/kg,日粮中共设两个钙水平(0.9%,1.15%)和两个维生素D3水平(750、5000 IU/kg)。结果表明:(1)在AA肉仔鸡饲粮中单独添加1.15%的钙对肌肉嫩度影响显著(P<0.05),5000 IU/kg维生素D3对肌肉嫩度影响不显著(P>0.05),同时添加钙和维生素D3的互作效应对肌肉嫩度影响显著(P<0.05);(2)1.15%的钙显著降低胆固醇、甘油三酯、低密度脂蛋白的含量(P<0.05),显著升高了高密度脂蛋白的含量(P<0.05);(3)单独添加5000 IU/kg维生素D3显著降低了低密度脂蛋白的含量(P<0.05)。以上研究结果表明,玉米-豆粕型基础日粮中长期添加1.15%钙和5000IU/kg维生素D3能够减小肌肉剪切力,降低血液中总胆固醇和甘油三酯的含量,从而提高肉品质。     

不同苜蓿品种在青岛地区的适应性

2007-2010年,在青岛地区对引进的23个国内外苜蓿品种进行了膜侧种植、无灌溉、无施肥模式的田间试验,观测分析了各品种产草量、株高、茎叶比等指标。结果表明,23个苜蓿品种在青岛普遍生长良好,国外品种生产性能优于国内品种;播种当年干草产量膜侧种植组明显高于直接播种组,干草产量增幅(除甘农4号、新疆大叶和牧歌401外)均在50%以上;干草产量与年均日照时数、年均温的灰色关联度分别达到0.795 5和0.878 9,而与年均降水量关联度仅为0.569 1;株高最高的是WL323为87.8 cm,最低的是敖汉苜蓿,仅74.7 cm;供试23个品种的干草产量与株高均存在显著性差异,株高与草产量相关系数达到0.65以上,具有很高的正相关性;茎叶比最低的是牧歌401,仅为1.22,绝大多数苜蓿品种的茎叶比有逐年增加的趋势。综合评价认为供试23个苜蓿品种中的WL323、牧歌401、驯鹿3个品种综合生产性能较好,适宜在青岛地区辅以膜侧种植模式进行大面积推广。
