日粮中添加过瘤胃胆碱对湖羊生长性能和营养物质表观消化率的影响

为研究过瘤胃胆碱对育肥湖羊的生长性能和营养物质表观消化率的影响,选择40只体质量为(15.05±3.38)kg的湖羊随机分成4组,即对照组(日粮A)、试验组(日粮B、日粮C、日粮D),每组重复10次,分别饲喂添加0、0.1％、0.2％、0.4％过瘤胃胆碱的日粮,预饲期为7d,试验期为65d.结果表明,4组试验湖羊的体斜长、体高以及管围差异不显著(P＞0.05);日粮B的平均日采食量显著高于日粮A、日粮C、日粮D(P＜0.05),4组日粮的料质量比差异不显著(P＞0.05);日粮D的干物质、粗蛋白表观消化率显著高于日粮A、日粮B、日粮C(P＜0.05),日粮D的有机物表观消化率显著高于日粮B和日粮C(P＜0.05),但与日粮A差异不显著(P＞0.05);日粮D的中性洗涤纤维表观消化率显著高于其他3组(P＜0.05);日粮C与日粮D的酸性洗涤纤维差异不显著(P＞0.05),但两者显著高于日粮A和日粮B(P＜0.05).日粮D的钙表观消化率显著高于日粮A、日粮B、日粮C(P＜0.05),日粮A、日粮B、日粮C的钙表观消化率差异不显著(P＞0.05);日粮B和日粮D的磷表观消化率显著高于日粮A,但与日粮C的差异不显著(P＞0.05).由此可见,日粮中添加不同比例过瘤胃胆碱对湖羊的生长性能以及营养物质消化率产生不同程度的影响,其中,以0.4％的添加比例对提高湖羊的生长性能以及营养物质消化率方面具有较好的效果.     

The effect of dose and concentration on D-xylose absorption in healthy,immature dogs

Nine combinations of dosages and concentrations of D-xylose were given orally to eight clinically normal, immature dogs. The concentrations and dosages of D-xylose consisted of 5%, 10%, and 20% at 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, and 750 mg/kg. Serum samples were collected at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes. Serum xylose was quantitated using the phloroglucinol microassay technique. A peak in serum xylose concentration was seen for each treatment combination at 60 or 90 minutes after dosing. The dosage effect was important in influencing serum xylose values (P < 0.0001). As the test solution dosages increased from 250 mg/kg to 500 mg/kg and 750 mg/kg, serum xylose values (when dosage was analyzed over the length of the entire test) rose linearly (R(2) = 0.98). The treatment combinations of 5% and 20% xylose solutions dosed at 750 mg/kg produced the highest serum xylose values at the 60- and 90-minute peak intervals. The independent effect of concentration was significant (p < 0.001) but was overridden by the stronger dosage effect. Serum xylose concentrations varied little statistically (p > 0.05) when the 5%, 10%, and 20% solutions were compared at a specific dosage.     

Marked pleural effusion causing right atrial collapse simulating cardiac tamponade in a dog

A 16-month-old, female German shepherd dog was presented with severe bicavitary effusions. A diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed by thoracic radiography. An echocardiogram performed prior to surgical repair of the hernia revealed signs of cardiac tamponade, with right atrial collapse, in the absence of pericardial effusion. Right atrial collapse was presumed to be secondary to severe pleural effusion. At surgery, no pericardial disease was identified. Surgical correction of the diaphragmatic hernia resulted in resolution of the pleural and peritoneal effusions. Follow-up echocardiography demonstrated resolution of the signs of cardiac tamponade.
