消灭猪群中特定病原体的方法──美国提高猪群健康的方法之三

消灭猪群中特定病原体的方法──美国提高猪群健康的方法之三粟寿初编译为消灭猪群中的特定病原体研制了许多不同的方法。这些方法的设计是要提高猪群的健康状态而无需求助于在清群之后重新组群。消灭病原体的方法一般采取下列三种办法之一：１．使用药物和（或）调节免疫...     

蛋鸡的支原体病

鸡败血支原体(Mycoplasma gallisepticum,MG)和滑液支原体(Mycoplasma synoviae,MS)在世界许多地区的重型鸡种中已被消灭;然而,在商品蛋鸡中,支原体感染仍为一大问题.最普遍的是 MS 感染,许多鸡群在感染后不表现明显     

The effects of nutrient solution sterilization on the growth and yield of hydroponically grown lettuce

Two methods of removing bacteria from hydroponic nutrient solution [ultraviolet (UV) radiation and submicronic filter] were evaluated for efficiency and for their effects on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) production. Both methods were effective in removing bacteria; but, at high intensity, the ultraviolet sterilizer significantly inhibited the production of plants grown in the treated solution. Bacterial removal by lower intensity UV or a submicronic filter seemed to promote plant growth slightly, but showed no consistent, statistically significant effect.     

Dual infections of red deer (Cervus elaphus) by Leptospira interrogans serovars copenhageni and hardjo

On a property in the Nelson District, blood and urine samples were taken from red deer (Cervus elaphus) from which low (<1:100) antibody titres to serovar copenhageni and suspected leptospiral abortions had previously been reported. A total of 27 hinds were sampled. Microscopic agglutination test (MAT) titres in sera ranging from 1:32 to 1:128 were found in six animals. Thirteen leptospiral isolations were made from nine of the 27 urine samples. Four of these were typed as copenhageni and nine as hardjo. Two cultures were prepared from each urine sample and hardjo and copenhageni were both isolated from single urine samples from two animals. None of the 27 deer had serum MAT titres at 1:32 or above to copenhageni.
