抗马立克氏病新品系选育第四代雏鸡MDV攻毒试验结果

F4雏鸡MDV攻毒试验结果显示,亲本父母代鸡均携带No614血型基因的选育试验组,60日龄死亡率显著低于不经血型基因选育的对照组(P＜0.05);其内脏器官组织肿瘤病变率也低于该对照组,但差异不显著(P＞0.05);选育试验组鸡的肝脏的肿瘤病变率仍显著低于血型基因选育对照组和非选育对照组鸡(P＜0.05).提示No614血型基因具有一定程度的马立克氏病(MD)抗性.     

茎弯曲处理对番木瓜开花结果的影响

对“苏罗”和“台农2号”番木瓜2个品种植株进行茎弯曲处理,研究其对番木瓜开花结果的影响。结果表明,茎弯曲处理对“苏罗”和“台农2号”番木瓜都具有降低最低结果高度、增加长圆形果实和长圆形两性花数量的显著效应;当茎弯曲长度在20.00-35.00cm时,随着茎弯曲长度的增加,其对降低番木瓜最低结果高度、增加长圆形果实和长圆形两性花数量的效应愈强;茎弯曲处理对营养繁殖的“苏罗”和种子繁殖的“台农2号”番木瓜开花结果的影响趋势一致。     

一种适合稻区紫云英生产实际的紫云英加工调制方式

将紫云英鲜草分离为草汁、细渣、纤维状渣；以粉状能量精料为载体吸收汁液；3种制品都以晾晒的方式进行干燥。晾晒时，3种制品综合占场面积较原草减少近90％；3种制品均可在一个晴日内风干，比原草干燥速度提高一倍余；细渣品质与国标一级苜蓿草粉相当；“二次拌汁料”、“三次拌汁料”之粗蛋白、粗纤维含量符合生长肥育猪饲养标准；加工方式切合稻区紫云英生产实际及产区综合条件，有推广价值，且易推广。     

Digestive efficiency of indigenous and invasive avian species fed fruit of invasive alien plants in South Africa

Many highly invasive plant species produce fleshy fruit that are consumed and dispersed by frugivorous birds. However, little is known about assimilation efficiency of invasive fruit by indigenous and invasive avian species. We investigated whether indigenous Knysna (Tauraco corythaix) and Purple-crested (Gallirex porphyreolophus) Turacos and invasive alien Rose-ringed Parakeets (Psittacula krameri) met their energy demands when fed fruits of four fleshy- fruited invasive alien plant species: Solanum mauritianum, Cinnamomum camphora, Psidium guajava and Morus alba. Birds were fed single-fruit diets for two consecutive days and energetic parameters were calculated for all fruit diets. Our results showed that generally both invasive and indigenous avian species managed to gain their daily energy requirements from fruits of the four respective invasive plants, suggesting that they can meet their energetic demands by feeding on them only. The exception was P. krameri, which did not feed on S. mauritianum fruit. These findings may explain why fruits of invasive alien plants are attractive to most avian frugivores and highlight the role of avian frugivores in their dispersal.     

过瘤胃胆碱对黔北麻羊羔羊生长性能及血浆生化指标的影响

本试验旨在研究补饲过瘤胃胆碱(RPC)对黔北麻羊羔羊生长性能及血浆生化指标的影响.选取体况良好、体重相近的4月龄黔北麻羊羔羊20只随机分为对照组[(15.89±1.66) kg]和试验组[(15.30±1.86) kg],每组10只.对照组饲喂基础饲粮,试验组补饲10 g/d的RPC.试验期40 d,其中预试期10 d,正试期30 d.结果表明,补饲RPC:1)显著提高干物质采食量全期平均值(P＜0.05),显著降低料重比(P＜0.05);2)对干物质、粗蛋白质、粗脂肪、中性洗涤纤维的表观消化率无显著影响(P＞0.05),但可显著提高酸性洗涤纤维、粗灰分的表观消化率(P＜0.05);3)可显著提高食入氮、吸收氮和沉积氮(P＜0.05);4)对血浆超氧化物歧化酶活性以及丙二醛、葡萄糖、尿素氮、极低密度脂蛋白、甘油三酯、总胆固醇、肌酐浓度的全期平均值均无显著影响(P＞0.05).在本试验条件下,补饲10 g/d的RPC可提高黔北麻羊羔羊生长性能,但对血浆生化指标没有显著影响.     

Genetic and environmental factors affecting ultrasound measures of longissimus muscle area and backfat thickness in Nelore cattle

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the genetic and environmental factors affecting records of longissimus muscle area (LMA) and backfat thickness (BF) obtained between the 12th and 13th ribs, and rump fat thickness (RF) between the hook and pin bones, measured by real-time ultrasound in Nelore cattle. Also, weight records of 22,778 animals born from 1998 to 2003, in ten farms across six Brazilian states were used. Carcass traits as measured by ultrasound of the live animal were recorded from 2002 to 2004 in 2590 males and females with ages varying from 450 to 599 days. Fixed models including farm, year and season of birth, sex and type of feed effects, and the covariates age of dam (AOD) and age of animal at measurement were used to study the effect of environmental factors on these traits. The genetic parameters for LMA, BF and RF were estimated with two and three-trait animal models with 120-day weights using a restricted maximum likelihood method. All environmental effects significantly affected carcass traits, with the exception of year of birth for BF and RF and AOD for LMA. The heritability estimates for LMA, BF and RF were 0.35, 0.51 and 0.39, respectively. Standard errors obtained in one-trait analyses were from 0.07 to 0.09. Genetic correlation estimates between LMA and the two traits of subcutaneous fat were low (close to zero) and 0.74 between BF and RF, indicating that the selection for LMA should not cause antagonism in the genetic improvement of subcutaneous fat measured by real-time ultrasound.

改进芳草A系原种产卵性的试验

本试验采取母蛾延迟交配，拆对后冷藏、改变交配时间和产卵室保护温度等技术措施来探讨改善芳草A系原种产卵性的方法。结果表明，这些措施对产卵性能的改进有一定的效应，但由于性状间存在相关关系，对某一性状的促进效应往往同时也对另一产卵性状产生负向影响。
