Farm managers' decision to cull dairy cows is based on the cows' milk production, history of disorder(s), and reproductive performance, each of which affects dairy cows' lifetime (herd life and productive lifespan). We investigated the relationships among the incidence of clinical mastitis (CM), the reproductive performance, and the culling rate. We also assessed the effects of these relationships on the lifetimes of dairy cows, using the records made before and after the introduction of an automatic milking system (AMS) at Hiroshima University Farm. Milk yield, CM incidence density, and culling rate of dairy cows increased after the AMS introduction. The CM incidence was associated with an elongation of the calving interval in cows with the same parity. CM in the 1st parity might have caused the reductions of the cows' lifetime and their parity at culling. A higher age at first calving (AFC) was associated with an increase in culling rate but did not lead to a significant decrease in lifetime. Investigations of the factors mediating CM in the 1st parity or AFC with CM incidence or culling rate in the later stages might contribute to the control of lifetime of dairy cows. 相似文献

Using target and reference fattened steer populations, the performance of genotype imputation using lower‐density marker panels in Japanese Black cattle was evaluated. Population imputation was performed using BEAGLE software. Genotype information for approximately 40 000 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers by Illumina BovineSNP50 BeadChip was available, and imputation accuracy was assessed based on the average concordance rates of the genotypes, varying equally spaced SNP densities, and the number of individuals in the reference population. Two additional statistics were also calculated as indicators of imputation performance. The concordance rates tended to be lower for SNPs with greater minor allele frequencies, or those located near the ends of the chromosomes. Longer autosomes yielded greater imputation accuracies than shorter ones. When SNPs were selected based on linkage disequilibrium information, relative imputation accuracy was slightly improved. When 3000 and 10 000 equally spaced SNPs were used, the imputation accuracies were greater than 90% and approximately 97%, respectively. These results indicate that combining genotyping using a lower‐density SNP chip with genotype imputation based on a population of individuals genotyped using a higher‐density SNP chip is a cost‐effective and valid approach for genomic prediction. 相似文献

In this study, we developed a computer program for automatic prediction of watering time point by considering the environmental factors such as solar radiation, air temperature and relative humidity based on the multiple linear regression equation of leaf area and Penman Method. The experiments were carried out for a year in two watering experimental plots, one of which was controlled by pF value, and the other by the computer program. After comparing the results of the two plots, the following findings were obtained. In the computer program plot, the observed and predicted values of both leaf area and evapotranspiration indicated significant correlation at the 1% level, which suggested that the computer program had high prediction accuracy. In addition, no significant difference was observed between the two experimental plots with respects to the plant height, plant diameter, leaf area, leaf number, fresh weight, and dry weight, which demonstrated that the plants in the computer program plot had normal growth. On the other hand, although the number of flower buds and flowering shoots showed higher values at the end of certain cultivations in the computer program plot than those in pF value plot, we proposed that it was due to the effect of cumulative daily solar radiation in the greenhouse, rather than the watering. Thus, we have reached the conclusion that the computer program for automatic prediction of watering time point developed by this study has high applicability in miniature pot rose production. 相似文献

The effects of a novel pyrimidine herbicide, NS-245852 [2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2-yl-ketone], on mitosis in oat ( Avena sativa L. cv. Zenshin) root tips were investigated by using light and immunofluorescence microscopy. The root growth was strongly inhibited at 10−7 mol L−1 of NS-245852, and swollen root tips were induced at 5 × 10−8 mol L−1 . As observed by the use of light microscopy, the herbicide produced disrupted mitosis and large polynucleate cells in the meristematic root tissue. These symptoms were similar to those of mitotic disrupter herbicides. The immunofluorescence microscopy studies of the root tip cells treated for 30 min revealed that spindle fibers and the preprophase band were reduced, although kinetochore fibers and the phragmoplast were not affected. Kinetochore fibers remained as small fluorescence spots, and the phragmoplast disappeared after a 3 h treatment. No microtubule arrays were observed by a longer treatment (longer than 3 h). Among the microtubule arrays, spindle fibers and the preprophase band were found to be the most sensitive to the herbicide, whereas kinetochore fibers were the most resistant. The phragmoplast was intermediate. Thus, the primary action of NS-245852 is the inhibition of polymerization of tubulin into microtubules. 相似文献

The variations in the light-dependent herbicidal activity against Echinochloa oryzicola of a number of 4-pyridone-3-carboxanilides with various substituents on the anilide and pyridone rings have been examined by use of physicochemical substituent parameters and regression analysis. The effects of substituents of the anilide ring were such that the activity was related parabolically not only with the substituent hydrophobicity (π) but also with the steric bulk parameter (Es) of the bulkier ortho substituent. The effect of substituents at the 1-position of the pyridone ring was analysed with steric(STERIMOL L and B5) and electronic(γ1) parameters. That of substituents at the 5-position of the pyridone ring was explained by a parabolic function of a steric (MR) parameter. Analyses of the activity of 105 analogs confirmed that our previous selection of a candidate compound in this series for field trials was indeed appropriate in terms of physicochemical substituent effects. 相似文献

Isolates from 18 anastomosis groups (AGs) of binucleate Rhizoctonia were screened for lectin activity. Eight AGs (AG-B, AG-D, AG-F, AG-G, AG-H, AG-I, AG-R and AG-U) had low to moderate lectin
activities. Among these, members of AG-D and AG-I had the highest activity. Partially purified lectins from AG-D preferentially
agglutinated human blood type A to type B and O. Mucin and galactose were the most potent inhibitors among the tested carbohydrates.
The molecular masses of these lectins ranged from 12.7 kDa for the monomer to 62 kDa for the pentamer type. Proline, alanine,
glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, threonine, serine and tyrosine were the major amino acid components of these lectins.
Lectins from AG-D were stable at 4–50°C and from pH 6.0 to 10.0. When assayed with isoelectric focusing, these lectins gave
bands at pI 9.30. Specificity of lectins from AG-D to galactose and its derivatives suggest a possible recognition role in
this fungal species. 相似文献

For monorail systems, it is very important to ensure the safety of the ground structure. We developed a tram car for slopes
that utilizes the mechanism of the monorail and analyzed the stress of the ground structure that had double rails. First,
we divided the ground structure into seven components, and formulated a procedure for calculating the stress of the ground
structure. As a result, the stress that acts upon the main rail and the main rail connecting part was near the allowable stress,
and each calculated value was within the allowable stress. We measured the stress by running the vehicle, and compared the
measured values with the calculated values. As a result, some measured values were larger than the calculated values. However,
the ratio of measured value to allowable stress was 90% or less. Finally, we calculated the static loading coefficient for
each part, results of which were as follows: main and subrail: 1.1; rail connection part and prop foundation part: 1.0; rail
installation part: 1.3. In the recalculations, it became clear that the recalculated values exceeded the allowable stresses.
These results suggest that we need to review the ground structure materials. 相似文献

Although wood/cellulose-plastic composites (WPC) of low wood/cellulose content have been more accepted worldwide and are promoted
as low-maintenance, high-durability building products, composites containing high wood/cellulose content are not yet developed
on an industrial scale. In this study, flow properties, mechanical properties, and water absorption properties of the compounds
of cellulose microfiber/polypropylene (PP) and maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP) were investigated to understand
effects of the high cellulose content and the dimensions of the cellulose microfiber. The molding processes studied included
compression, injection, and extrusion. It was found that fluidity is not only dependent on resin content but also on the dimension
of the filler; fluidity of the compound declined with increased fiber length with the same resin content. Dispersion of the
composite was monitored by charge-coupled device (CCD) microscope. Increasing the plastic content in the cellulose-plastic
formulation improved the strength of mold in addition to the bond development between resin and filler, and the tangle of
fibers. The processing mode affected the physicomechanical properties of the cellulosic plastic. Compression-molded samples
exhibited the lowest modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) and the highest water absorption, while samples
that were injection-molded exhibited the highest MOR (70 MPa) and MOE (7 GPa) and low water absorption (2%). 相似文献
