林果套药材"三种两收"新模式

随着我国“退耕还林”、“平原绿化”和“天然林保护”三大工程的实施,苗圃、林场、果园面积不断增加。但由于单一苗木果林生长周期长、见效慢,造成已栽种的经济紧张,没栽种的望而却步,严重阻碍了我国三大工程的进展。为解决这一矛盾,山东菏泽市润康中药材研究所探索出下列“林果套药材,三种两收”的高效种植模式,实现了以短养长、长短结合、双赢高效、林茂药丰的目的。     

Three cases of disputed paternity in dogs resolved by the use of DNA fingerprinting

DNA fingerprinting with the probes 33.15 and alpha-globin 3'HVR has been used to resolve three cases of disputed paternity in dogs. For each pedigree it was necessary to establish which bands in the DNA fingerprints of the offspring were of paternal origin, and then establish which putative sire carried all these bands. In the first case, a litter of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, twelve DNA bands were informative in establishing paternity. In the second case, a litter of Afghan hounds, five DNA bands established paternity, Lastly, in a litter of Border collies, five DNA bands established paternity. In each case a single dog only sired the entire litter.     

Immunization against polyandroalbumin leads to increases in lambing and tailing percentages

A series of 10 farm trials was conducted in which the lambing performance of ewes immunised against polyandroalbumin was compared with that of untreated ewes in the same flock. The trials show that polyandroalbumin treatment is a reliable method of increasing lambing and tailing percentages in New Zealand flocks. An average of 39 extra lambs born per 100 ewes tupped was achieved on farms where ewes were given two treatments about four weeks apart and rams were introduced 18-26 days after the second dose. On farms where rams were introduced less than 12 days after this booster injection an average of 19 extra lambs born per 100 ewes tupped resulted. On farms where rams were introduced at 18-26 days post booster injection an average of 35 extra lambs were tailed for every 100 ewes tupped. The response for immunization increased in direct relation to the liveweight of the ewes at tupping.
