生物素和高铜水平对断奶仔猪的生产性能及免疫反应的影响

将216只断奶杂交仔猪(始重6.9kg)分为三组,进行了为期5周的试验,以评定补加生物素(0,220,440和880ppb)及铜(0,200,400ppm)对仔猪生产性能、血红蛋白浓度、血清和肝铜水平及免疫反应(体液和细胞间液)的影响。     

高产奶牛的能量需要

奶牛日粮能量供给不当是奶牛饲养中的一个严重问题。通常是泌乳早期营养不足,或者泌乳后期和干奶期营养过剩引起过肥和其后的代谢障碍,除能量的数量以外,能量的来源也影响产奶量和奶的组成。本文着重讨论不同营养水平的影响。高产奶牛的能量需要高产奶牛在泌乳早期应供给优质可口的精     

一种廉价的养殖槽水流测量器

我们设计了一种简易装置,用来测量标准养鱼槽进水量。这种Capilano水流测量器由三小段不同直径的聚氯乙烯(PVC)管子组成,能让人们在调节进水控制阀时直接看出水流量的大小。     

A new approach to managing health in Swine operations

It is proposed that just as the stethoscope and thermometer are fundamental tools for individual medicine, production and health recording systems are fundamental tools for effective population medicine. Treatment and control of clinical diseases as the primary objective is no longer considered appropriate for livestock population. Disease in populations now describes a deviation between what is happening and what is expected to happen. This redefinition of disease implies that it is of multifactorial origin and thus a different problem solving approach must be implemented. Therefore, a swine enterprise must be considered as a system, a set of interdependent components continuously interacting to produce pork. As a system, it is characterized by certain properties: change, environment, counterintuitive behavior, drift to low performance, interdependency, and organization. A redefinition of diseases implies also that they are not only “treated” but managed. Management consists of planning, monitoring, evaluation, and analysis. For this process to be implemented successfully, a goal-directed recording system providing a farm-based infrastructure for problem solving is essential. Clinical problem solving (diagnosis) is thus based on epidemiological and demographic methods.
