本试验旨在研究不同非植酸磷( NPP)水平对39~46周龄黄羽肉鸡父母代种鸡繁殖性能、胫骨指标和血浆生化指标的影响,探讨该阶段适宜磷供给量。试验选用39周龄岭南黄羽肉鸡父母代种母鸡810只,根据体重和产蛋率分为5个组,每组6个重复,每重复27只鸡。组1为对照组,饲喂玉米-豆粕型基础饲粮( NPP水平为0.30%),组2、3、4和5饲粮分别在基础饲粮中添加不同水平的磷酸氢钙,使饲粮NPP水平分别为0.35%、0.40%、0.45%和0.50%,其他营养成分各组基本一致。试鸡限饲122 g/(只·d),自由饮水。试验期8周。结果表明：1)试验期内, NPP水平未显著影响试鸡平均日增重、平均日产蛋量、料蛋比、平均蛋重和破蛋率(P>0.05),显著影响了产蛋率和不合格蛋率(P<0.05),0.45%组产蛋率显著高于0.30%和0.40%组(P<0.05),0.40%组不合格蛋率显著低于其余4组(P<0.05)。2)饲粮 NPP水平显著影响了试鸡39~40周龄种蛋长径、蛋短径、蛋形指数和蛋壳强度(P<0.05),显著影响了45~46周龄种蛋蛋壳强度( P<0.05)。3) NPP水平对种蛋孵化性能(受精率、孵化率、健雏率、健雏平均出壳重)无显著影响(P>0.05)。4)饲粮 NPP 水平显著增加了试鸡脱脂胫骨粗灰分中钙、磷含量(P<0.05)。5)0.40%和0.45%NPP组试鸡血浆甲状旁腺激素含量显著高于0.30%和0.35%组( P<0.05),0.50%组血浆降钙素含量显著高于其余4组( P<0.05)。综上,39~46周龄黄羽肉鸡父母代种母鸡饲粮NPP适宜水平为0.40%~0.45%,根据采食量计算得到每日NPP需要量为0.488~0.549 g。     

Cytokine expression, glucocorticoid and growth hormone changes after porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV-1) infection in vaccinated and unvaccinated naturally exposed pigs

The objective of this paper was to study the changes of some cytokines and neuroendocrine hormones in vaccinated and unvaccinated pigs that were naturally infected by a PRRSV-1 (porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus) heterologous field strain. We analyzed gene expression of pro-inflammatory (TNF-α, IL-1β, MCP-1, IL-6), pro-immune (IFN-γ) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10) in PBMC, as well as hormonal (GH and cortisol) levels in blood samples of pigs obtained in a field trial previously reported [Martelli P, Gozio S, Ferrari L, Rosina S, De Angelis E, Quintavalla C, et al. Efficacy of a modified-live porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) vaccine in pigs naturally exposed to a heterologous European (Italian cluster) field strain: clinical protection and cell-mediated immunity. Vaccine 2009;27:3788-99]. All vaccinated pigs showed an increase in pro-inflammatory and pro-immune cytokine gene expression with respect to controls and a prompt increase in GH that could be consistently associated with pro-inflammatory cytokines in sustaining innate immunity; moreover, the higher levels of cortisol indicates the activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis response. In contrast, unvaccinated pigs showed down-regulation of the cortisol and GH responses, and the pro-inflammatory and pro-immune cytokines remained at a basal or low level, with an increase of TNF-α and IL-6 in association with a higher level of IL-10 in the late phase of natural infection. The associated trends of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines together with the cortisol level demonstrate that a previous vaccination promotes an early immune responsiveness in pigs and a more efficient control of inflammation in the late phase of infection with a heterologous PRRSV isolate; both events could sustain clinical protection.

内源激素变化及外源生长素对紫花苜蓿种子萌发过程的影响

为了探索紫花苜蓿萌发过程内源激素的变化趋势及生长素对其萌发的影响,本研究以‘新牧4号’紫花苜蓿（Medicago sativa L.‘Xinmu No.4’）为试验材料,采用酶联免疫吸附法（ELISA）测定未萌发种子（M1）、露白种子（M2）、肧根长度1.0~1.2 cm种子（M3）、苗期种子（M4）这四个萌发时期种子中内源激素的含量;并研究不同浓度IAA浸种处理对种子萌发及子叶中内源激素的影响。结果表明：种子萌发过程中,赤霉素含量逐渐增多,脱落酸含量逐渐减少,但在M4时期含量略有回升;生长素含量先减少随后逐渐增多。不同浓度IAA浸种处理后,10 mg·L^-1 IAA可显著提高种子的萌发势、萌发率,促进幼苗的生长,与对照相比,子叶中脱落酸含量显著减少（P<0.05）,生长素、赤霉素含量显著增多（P<0.05）。综上所述,10 mg·L^-1 IAA浸种处理能促进苜蓿种子萌发,并促进子叶中生长素、赤霉素的合成。     

The concentration of ionized magnesium in serum during the periparturient period of non-paretic dairy cows

Ion-selective electrodes have recently been designed for determining the ionized concentration of magnesium (Mg²⁺) in serum. This development may allow new insights into some metabolic diseases of cattle. For this report, the concentrations of Mg²⁺, total magnesium (Mg_tot), ionized calcium (Ca²⁺), total calcium (Ca_tot), and inorganic phosphate (P_i) were determined in sera from seventeen 3-to 16-year-old Brown Swiss and crossed Simmental/Red Holstein cows during the periparturient period. In each animal, a transient increase of Mg²⁺ and Mg_tot serum concentrations was observed in association with the transient decrease in serum concentrations of Ca²⁺, Ca_tot and P_i after parturition. On average, throughout the study, the serum Mg²⁺ concentrations were 68.5% of those of Mg_tot, whereas the serum Ca²⁺ concentrations were 52% of those of Ca_tot. The possible mechanisms involved in the transient increase of Mg²⁺ and Mg_tot serum concentrations are discussed.Abbreviations Ca²⁺ ionized calcium - Ca_tot total calcium - Mg²⁺ ionized magnesium - Mg_tot total magnesium - P_i inorganic phosphate - PTH parathyroid hormone - PTHrP parathyroid homrone related protein     

乳制品中类固醇激素类化合物检测研究进展

类固醇激素又称甾体激素,是一种亲脂性的小分子物质,常作为促生长剂被违法添加,用于畜牧业和养殖业。乳制品中残留激素可通过食物链进入人体并产生一系列健康危害。乳制品中类固醇激素的残留在国内外已成为兽药残留问题关注的重点。我国在乳制品中的类固醇激素含量限制方面已颁布相关法规。本文综述类固醇激素的结构、分类及功能,以及乳制品中类固醇激素限量标准、检测方法、含量及健康风险研究进展,旨在为乳制品中的类固醇激素研究提供借鉴和参考。

Histological and immunohistochemical evaluation of granulosa cells during different stages of folliculogenesis in bovine ovaries

Bovine granulosa cells (GC) vary in their morphological aspect during different stages of folliculogenesis. In this study, 10 morphologically normal bovine ovaries were collected to study the structural aspects of different stages of GC using intermediate filament protein antibodies including cytokeratin AE1/AE3 (AE1/AE3), vimentin, nectin‐4 and desmin. Hormonal immunolocalization was assessed using the immunomarkers anti‐Müllerian hormone (AMH) and inhibin alpha. In addition, tumour markers and proliferation markers using c‐erbB‐2 oncoprotein and proliferating cell nuclear antigen, respectively, were investigated. The immunolabelling of AE1/AE3 in GC was strongest in the early follicle stage and gradually decreased when reaching the Graafian follicle stage. Its immunolabelling increased again as the stage progressed from stage I to stage III. The immunolabelling of inhibin alpha was inversely proportional to that of AE1/AE3 in the developing ovarian follicles as their immunolabelling is opposite to each other during folliculogenesis. AMH was immunopositive in almost all GC stages in different intensities and percentages, except for some negative staining in the atretic IV follicles. The atretic IV follicle is a unique type of atretic follicle that shows Call‐Exner body formation, which was mainly found in older cows in this study. The distinct patterns of immunoreactivity for various types of immunomarkers in the different GC stages will play an important role in diagnostic assistance of various follicle conditions, including cystic ovaries and GC tumours.
