Routine examination of milk was performed on five herds of lactating goats in northern Italy as part of a milk quality-monitoring program in the year 2000. As part of the study, aseptic samples of foremilk were collected monthly from both half udders during the entire lactation for 305 goats, resulting in a total of 4571 samples. The samples were tested with cytological and bacteriological analyses to evaluate the relationship between mammary infections and somatic-cell count (SCC; Fossomatic (TM) method). Prevalence of intramammary infection (IMI) was 40.2% (n = 1837) of all udder-half samples examined. The most-prevalent mastitis agents were coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNS), 80% (n = 1474 udder-half samples); within this group, Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most-prevalent species (38%). Other prevalence were Staphylococcus aureus 6% (n = 112 udder-half samples) and environmental pathogens 14% of infected udder-half samples (n = 251) with a diverse mixture of species, none of which had a frequency of >4%. Enterococcus faecalis was the most-frequently isolated among this group. Neither Salmonella spp. nor Listeria monocytogenes were detected. The risk (sample level) of infection differed across herds, parities, and stage of lactation according to results from logistic multiple regression. Infection was more common among goats in third and fourth parities and during the later stages of lactation. Of the 2734 samples from uninfected udder halves, the mean log2 SCC was 3.9 cell/ml; of the 1837 bacteriological positive samples, the mean log2 SCC was 5.6 cell/ml. According to results from a linear mixed model, concentrations of somatic cells tended to increase with increasing age and days in milk and with the presence of bacteria. Infection with S. aureus was associated with the highest SCS. 相似文献

A total of 142 S. aureus strains isolated from pig carcasses from abattoirs A (n = 98) and B (n = 44) were characterized by phenotypic and genotypic traits. Phenotypically, 96% showed yellow-pigmented colonies, 63% β/δ hemolysis, 85% were egg yolk-positive and 99% were positive for clumping factor/protein A. Only 25% of the strains were resistant to the antimicrobials tested (abattoir A: 19%; abattoir B: 39%), especially to penicillin and ampicillin. None of the strains harbored the mecA gene, which is conserved in methicillin-resistant S. aureus. The biofilm associated genes icaA, icaD and bap were present in 100%, 100% and 0% of the strains. Genes for staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) were detected in 51% (abattoir A) and 14% of the strains (abattoir B). Among strains harboring SE genes (n = 56), 63%, 31%, 4% and 2% tested positive for seg/sei, seg, sei and sec, respectively. The amplification of the 3′ end of the coagulase gene (coa) yielded amplicons of 400, 436, 602, 682 or 776 bp. Coa restriction profile (CRP) analysis using HaeIII resulted in seven patterns (a–d, e1–e3). CRP (c) was detected most frequently at both abattoirs, whereas CRP (a) was restricted to abattoir A and CRP (e3) to abattoir B. In the slaughter process (abattoir B), (i) two CRPs (b and d) were only found before dehairing/singeing, and (ii) four CRPs (c, e1–e3) were identified throughout the process. The genotyping revealed a remarkable homogeneity in S. aureus strains from the two different abattoirs and the slaughter process stages. These results may be explained by the distribution of a limited number of S. aureus genotypes in the pig population. Moreover, as the predominant CRPs (c, e1–e3) persisted throughout the slaughter process in abattoir B, it may be hypothesized that these types are characterized by colonization advantages. 相似文献

Screening of subclinical mastitis under field conditions is done using the California mastitis test (CMT). CMT score of ≥1 corresponding to ≥500,000 somatic cells ml−1 is commonly used as threshold of subclinical mastitis in temperate countries. However, given the innately high physiological level of somatic cells in low yielding dairy cows, this threshold may not apply to low yielding dairy cows. The current study was undertaken to investigate the clinical utility of CMT for screening of Staphylococcus aureus subclinical mastitis in low yielding smallholder dairy cows in Tanzania. A total of 1151 of quarter-milk samples were CMT tested, of these 914-originated from cows with a lactation period of 14–305 days. All samples were screened for subclinical mastitis by the CMT as well as microbiological culture of single, duplicate (two consecutive) and triplicate (three consecutive) samples as a gold standard. For the duplicate and triplicate quarter-samples, cows were considered positive for S. aureus subclinical mastitis if results of microbiologic culture for S. aureus were positive for two of two, and for at least two of the first three consecutive quarter-milk samples collected from that cow, respectively. Using a CMT score of ≥1 would classify 78.6% of the 940 quarter-samples as positive. Eighty-two percent of the samples in which S. aureus was isolated had CMT scores ≥2; this would classify 51.6% of the 940 quarter-samples as positive. For the single sample, this cut-off had sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratio for S. aureus of 0.87, 0.83 and 4.24, respectively. For the duplicate quarter-milk samples this cut-off had sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratio of 0.94, 0.86, and 5.19. While, for the triplicate quarter-milk samples this cut-off had sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratio of 0.97, 0.92 and 7.47, respectively. Based on these results and practical considerations, it is concluded that CMT score of ≥2 corresponding to ≥800,000 somatic cells Ml−1 is the best cut-off to correctly identify S. aureus intramammary infections in low yielding dairy cows in Tanzania. 相似文献

旨在探讨金黄色葡萄球菌（S.aureus）型和大肠杆菌（E.coli）型乳腺炎奶牛乳腺组织的炎症相关因子基因的mRNA转录水平。将105 CFU·mL-1的S.aureus和E.coli经乳导管分别注入奶牛乳房,在感染第7天采用活体无菌手术法采集乳腺组织,并采用组织HE染色和免疫荧光法进行乳腺炎模型的鉴定;利用qPCR分别检测了2个诱导组和对照组奶牛乳腺组织的趋化因子家族（CCL2、CCL8、CXCR1、CXCL2和CXCL13）、补体因子（CFI和CFB）、自噬调节因子DEPP1和白细胞介素受体IL21R共9个基因的mRNA转录水平。结果显示：与对照组相比,TLR4/NF-κB炎症相关信号通路中的关键分子（TLR4、NF-κB和TNFα）在2个诱导组乳腺组织中的蛋白表达水平均极显著上调（P<0.01）;结合HE染色结果,表明本试验成功构建了2种类型的奶牛乳腺炎活体模型。mRNA转录水平的检测结果表明,与对照组相比,7个基因（CCL2、CCL8、CXCR1、CXCL2、CFI、CFB和IL21R）在2个诱导组乳腺组织中的mRNA转录水平均极显著上调（P<0.001）,CXCL13的mRNA转录水平仅在S.aurues诱导组乳腺组织中极显著上调（P<0.01）;DEPP1的mRNA转录水平在2个诱导组中均极显著下调（P<0.01）。此外,CCL2、CCL8、CXCR1、CFI和IL21R共5个基因在E.coli诱导组中的mRNA转录水平均极显著高于S.aureus组（P<0.01）。S.aureus和E.coli感染均可导致奶牛产生严重的临床乳腺炎症状,并促使上述炎症相关基因的mRNA转录水平在乳腺组织中发生变化,以应对乳腺炎症的发生与发展过程;趋化因子CCL2等5个基因在E.coli诱导组中的mRNA转录水平显著高于S.aureus诱导组,解释了E.coli常常能引起急性乳腺炎,而S.aureus可引起慢性乳腺炎的原因。上述结果可为深入研究不同类型乳腺炎的分子调控机制提供参考。 相似文献

金黄色葡萄球菌是引起奶牛细菌性乳腺炎的主要原因，生物被膜的形成是金黄色葡萄球菌在不利环境条件下持久性存在的关键因素。探索同一株菌在生物被膜态与浮游态生长状态下的耐药性与其生长状态的相关性，可为进一步探究金黄色葡萄球菌的耐药性机制奠定基础。本研究培养了金黄色葡萄球菌的生物被膜，使用光学显微镜和扫描电镜观察其形成过程。测定并比较了9种抗菌药物对32株金黄色葡萄球菌在生物被膜态和浮游态的最小抑菌浓度，并对两种状态下的金黄色葡萄球菌进行转录组学测序，筛选出具有显著性差异的细胞信号通路和表达基因，同时对主要差异表达的基因进行RT-qPCR验证。结果发现，在生物被膜形成前期，随着培养时间的延长，显微镜下观察到的生物被膜态菌聚集面积越来越大，结构也越来越紧密，培养至72 h后，生物被膜逐渐开始分散。MIC测定结果显示浮游态菌的抑菌浓度低于生物被膜态菌。转录组结果显示两种状态菌的差异表达基因共1 512个，其中，生物被膜态菌中上调基因760个，下调752个。GO与KEGG富集分析显示，相比于浮游态菌，生物被膜态菌中与代谢相关的通路显著富集，其次为氨基酸的生物合成和ABC转运蛋白通路。与生物被膜形成相关的基因，如编码ABC转运蛋白的基因表达上调，而与代谢途径相关的基因下调。RT-qPCR验证了10个主要差异基因，其表达差异趋势与转录组测序结果一致。这些差异可能对金黄色葡萄球菌生物被膜态的高耐药性和细菌毒力的研究有所帮助。 相似文献

Bacterial flora and risk of infection of the ovine teat duct and mammary gland throughout lactation 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
We collected samples of teat duct material and mammary secretion from ewes in three farms (flock A, polyparous n = 7; flock B, polyparous n = 6, primiparous n = 4; flock C, polyparous n = 4): 14 samples immediately after lambing (before sucking of lambs), 244 samples during the suckling period and 156 samples during the milking period. Conventional bacteriological techniques were used. The results were modeled using survival analysis, initially by the Kaplan–Meier method and then by the Cox Proportional Hazards method. Then, we calculated the minimum true risk of an “at-risk” teat or mammary gland being infected and analyzed these data with STATA using the GLLAMM program for Generalised Linear Latent and Mixed Models. During the suckling period, bacteria were isolated from 52 (21%) duct material and 19 (8%) secretion samples; respective results for the milking period were 20 (13%) and 9 (6%). There was an increased risk of duct rather than secretion samples being infected (P < 0.001). There was a significant difference among flocks in isolating bacteria from duct (P < 0.01) or secretion (P < 0.001) samples during suckling period, but not during hand-milking period (P > 0.4 and 0.1, respectively). There were no differences between isolation of bacteria from duct (P > 0.5) or secretion (P > 0.7) samples among primiparous and polyparous animals. Most bacterial isolates were staphylococci. Persistent isolation of the same bacterial species from duct material samples obtained from a particular ewe was recorded with five Staphylococcus spp. and two Mannheimia haemolytica isolates. The results indicate that infections of the teat duct can take place easily; however, not all infections result to infection of the mammary gland. The results support experimental evidence that defence mechanisms of the healthy teat are able to limit the infection. Maintenance of healthy teats contributes to effective defence mechanisms, and coupled with minimal infections of the teat duct, would contribute to the prevention of mastitis in ewes. 相似文献

The influence of a dietary supplementation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) during the first and the second phase of lactation on dry matter (DM) intake, organic matter digestibility, milk yield and quality and haematological profile was evaluated in buffalo cows. Lactating buffaloes (n = 190), 118.7 days in milk (DIM), were randomly divided into Group C (control, n = 95) and Group T (fed diet supplemented with 98 billion CFU of S. cerevisiae, n = 95). Eight buffaloes for each group (Groups T1 and C1), 85.4 DIM, were used to study the in vivo digestibility and the haematological profile. No differences were found for DM intake (16.5 kg·day− 1) and haematological profile. The SC supplementation increased milk yield (7.9 ± 0.2 vs. 7.4 ± 0.2; P < 0.01) but did not affect milk fat and protein. SC supplementation increased OM digestibility, mainly, in the first phase of lactation (< 135 days), thus allowing a higher energy availability for milk yield and reduced fat mobilization. 相似文献

旨在探究叶酸补饲对隐性乳房炎奶牛免疫及产奶相关性状的影响和相关分子机制，为隐性乳房炎奶牛补充叶酸奠定理论依据和实践基础。本试验基于北京郊区某牧场的中国荷斯坦奶牛群体，根据胎次、体重以及体细胞数（连续2个月SCC>500×103个·mL-1）选择29头泌乳牛作为研究对象，分为补饲组（n=18）和对照组（n=11）。连续14 d对补饲组进行包被叶酸（每天120 mg/500 kg）饲喂，对照组不做任何处理。对收集到的DHI数据（包括体细胞数、日产奶量等）进行分析。随后，每组随机挑选4个个体，采集分离血液白细胞提取RNA并进行转录组测序，通过DESeq2进行基因差异表达分析。运用KOBAS3.0-KEGG通路数据库对鉴别出的差异表达基因进行功能富集分析。结果发现，补饲包被叶酸后，奶牛的体细胞数显著降低（P<0.05），对产奶相关性状没有显著影响。转录组数据的分析结果揭示，补饲组与对照组有277个差异表达基因（P<0.05，log2|Fold change|>1），包括105个显著上调的基因和172个显著下调的基因。这些基因主要富集在包括炎症反应、免疫反应、细胞因子生成调控、细胞分化、白细胞趋化和迁移、调节免疫系统过程等免疫相关的功能GO条目，以及先天免疫和细胞免疫应答相关的重要通路。综上，奶牛补饲叶酸对其免疫相关性状等有重要影响，且显著影响免疫相关通路的基因表达，为叶酸补饲的推广应用提供了一定的科学理论基础。 相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella isolated from dairy herds in New York, Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin, USA. Serogroup and antimicrobial susceptibility characteristics were determined for Salmonella from cattle and environmental samples collected during August 2000–October 2001 as part of a longitudinal study where 129 herds were visited at 2-month intervals. Salmonella isolates were tested (using a broth microdilution method) for susceptibility to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ampicillin, ceftiofur, ceftriaxone, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Of the 1506 isolates tested for minimum inhibitory concentrations to these 14 antimicrobial agents, 81.2% were pan-susceptible and for most herds (81.6%) the predominant antimicrobial resistance pattern was pan-susceptible. At least 1 Salmonella isolate resistant to 5 or more antimicrobial agents was found on 23.6% of herds. This resistance phenotype was most common among serogroups B and E1 and among samples from calves and farmer-designated sick cows. Resistant samples most frequently exhibited resistance to tetracycline, streptomycin, and/or ampicillin. No samples were resistant to ceftriaxone (though 13 were in the intermediate range), and very few samples were resistant to ciprofloxacin (n = 1), nalidixic acid (n = 5), or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (n = 7). 相似文献

The experiment studied the effects of long-term cold climatic housing conditions at a latitude of 62°N on pregnant Hereford cows and their progeny. Thirty-five cows in their third parity were overwintered in outdoor facilities with either a rain-shelter or a three-wall shelter, or in an uninsulated barn. Whole-crop barley silage was offered to the cows either ad libitum or restricted supplemented with oats. The dry matter intake on the restricted diet was 75% of that on the ad libitum diet. The cow live weight (LW) averaged 670 kg at the onset of the experiment. During winter the cows outdoors on the restricted diet maintained their LW while those on the ad libitum diet gained LW (P < 0.05, − 3 vs. 41 kg). On pasture, the LW gain (LWG) was 61 and 32 kg (P < 0.05) for the cows overwintered outdoors on the restricted and on the ad libitum diets, respectively. The initial body condition score (BCS, Scale: 0–5) of the cows averaged 2.90. During winter the cows outdoors on the restricted diet decreased and those on the ad libitum diet increased the BCS (P < 0.01, − 0.14 vs. 0.21). On pasture, the cows overwintered outdoors on the restricted diet increased the BCS more than those overwintered on the ad libitum diet (P < 0.05, 0.31 vs. 0.08). No signs of extraordinary stress, massive consumption of energy stores, frequent muscle injuries or severe inflammations occurred in any of the groups according to blood analyses of cows, e.g. cortisol, long-chain fatty acids, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase and white blood cell count. The calving period was from 11 March to 21 April. Only one indoor calving was classified as difficult due to faulty disposition leading to the loss of the calf. All outdoor calvings were easy. The LWG of the indoor calves of cows on the ad libitum diet was poorer (P < 0.05) pre the grazing period than that of the outdoor calves of cows on the ad libitum diet. On pasture and during the entire experiment the LWG was similar for all calves, averaging 1335 and 1251 g/d, respectively. The breeding season was 82 days. Thirty cows out of 33 were observed to be pregnant after the mating period. All the facilities offered adequate shelter for the mature, pregnant suckler cows. The restricted offering of whole-crop barley silage provided, on average, 101 MJ metabolizable energy/d and gave enough energy for the cows. 相似文献

Suckling pigs were separated from their dam for 24 h on day 21 (1 × 24 h fasting, n = 10) or day 21 and 24 (2 × 24 h fasting, n = 10). Pigs in the control group (n = 10) were not fasted before weaning. All pigs were weaned on day 28 postpartum. Feed intake during the first 4 days post-weaning was higher (P < 0.05) for pigs exposed to 1 × 24 h fasting compared with controls. Water consumption was not affected by fasting prior to weaning. The difference in post-weaning feed uptake was not reflected in any clinical traits, intestinal morphology, or activity of digestive enzymes (maltase, dipeptidylpeptidase IV, aminopeptidases A and N; P > 0.15). In conclusion, a short period of fasting prior to weaning can increase post-weaning feed uptake, although this had no clinical impact under the present experimental conditions. 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to evaluate changes in concentrations of free insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I in follicular fluid (FFL) during follicle development in the mare. Mares (n = 14) were classified as either in the follicular phase (n = 8) or luteal phase (n = 6). Follicles (n = 92) were categorized as small (6–15 mm; n = 54), medium (16–25 mm; n = 23) or large (>25 mm; n = 15) and FFL was collected. Free IGF-I levels in FFL in large follicles of follicular phase mares were greater (P < 0.05) than in large follicles of luteal phase mares and small or medium follicles of luteal and follicular phase mares. Free IGF-I concentrations were greater (P < 0.05) in large follicles of luteal phase mares than small but not medium follicles of luteal phase mares. FFL ratio of estradiol:progesterone paralleled changes in free IGF-I. Free IGF-I concentrations were negatively correlated (P < 0.05) with insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-2, -4 and -5 but not IGFBP-3 levels. In addition, free IGF-I concentrations in FFL were positively correlated (P < 0.01) with FFL estradiol, progesterone, androstenedione, estradiol:progesterone ratio, total IGF-I and total IGF-II. We conclude that increases in intrafollicular levels of bioavailable (free) IGF-I are associated with increased steroidogenesis in developing mare follicles. 相似文献

The effect of dietary crude protein concentration and inulin supplementation on nitrogen excretion and intestinal microflora from finisher pigs 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
A 2 × 2 factorial experiment was used to investigate the interaction between dietary crude protein (CP) concentration (200 vs 140 g/kg) and inulin supplementation (0 vs 12.5 g/kg) on nitrogen (N) excretion and intestinal microflora from 16 boars (n = 4, 74.0 kg live weight). The diets were formulated to contain similar concentrations of digestible energy and lysine. Pigs offered the high CP diets had a higher excretion of urinary N (P < 0.01), faecal N (P < 0.01) and total N (P < 0.001) than the pigs offered the low CP diets. Inulin supplementation increased faecal N excretion (P < 0.05) and decreased urine: faeces N ratio (P < 0.05) compared to the inulin free diets. There was no significant effect (P > 0.05) of dietary treatment on N retention. There was an interaction (P < 0.05) between dietary CP concentration and inulin supplementation on caecal E.coli. Pigs offered the diet containing 200 g/kg CP plus inulin decreased the population of E.coli compared to the inulin supplemented 140 g/kg protein diet. However, CP concentration had no significant effect on the population of E.coli in the unsupplemented diets. Inulin supplementation increased caecal bifidobacteria (P < 0.01) compared to the inulin free diets. In conclusion, inulin supplementation favourably altered N excretion and lowered the population of E.coli at high CP concentrations. 相似文献

In this study we investigated the ability of different Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (M. paratuberculosis) strains to survive in bovine monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) of cows naturally infected with M. paratuberculosis and control cows. We tested the hypotheses that infection status of cows affects macrophage killing ability and that survival of M. paratuberculosis in macrophages is dependent on the strain. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained from Johne's disease-positive (n = 3) and age and stage of lactation matched Johne's disease-negative (n = 3) multiparious cows. Following differentiation, MDMs were challenged in vitro with four M. paratuberculosis strains of different host specificity (cattle and sheep). Two hours and 2, 4, and 7 days after infection, ingestion, and intracellular survival of M. paratuberculosis strains were determined by fluorescence microscopy. There was no effect of the origin of MDMs (Johne's disease-positive or control animals) on phagocytosis, survival of bacteria, or macrophage survival. In contrast, important strain differences were observed. These findings suggest that some M. paratuberculosis strains interfere more successfully than others with the ability of macrophages to kill intracellular pathogens which may make it important to include strain typing when designing control programs. 相似文献

Vertical transmission of Trichinella spiralis was evaluated in ferrets (n = 21), foxes (n = 11), pigs (n = 12), guinea pigs (n = 16), and mice (n = 41). The placental barrier to be crossed by migratory Trichinella larvae varies structurally in different animal species. Ferrets and foxes have an endotheliochorial placenta structure, guinea pigs and mice a haemochorial, and pigs an epitheliochorial placenta. The non-encapsulating Trichinella pseudospiralis larvae have an extended muscle migration prior to entering a muscle cell. To evaluate if T. pseudospiralis was more likely to be transmitted to offspring, an additional group of foxes (n = 11) infected with T. pseudospiralis was included. Two different dose levels were used for ferrets, pigs, guinea pigs, and mice. In pigs and guinea pigs, infection was given at different times of the gestation period. Vertical transmission, measured as recovery of muscle larvae in the offspring, was demonstrated in both ferrets groups, in all four guinea pig groups, and in the high dose mouse group, but not in any fox or pig groups. 相似文献

为了建立由金黄色葡萄球菌小菌落突变株(small colony variants,SCVs)诱发感染乳房炎动物模型,本试验取40只分娩6~8 d的BALB/c小鼠,随机分成8组(n=5),分别为阴性对照、生理盐水组和不同剂量金黄色葡萄球菌SCVs及金黄色葡萄球菌质控菌株(1.0×103、1.0×104、1.0×105 CFU/mL)试验组,对生理盐水组及各试验组小鼠第4对乳腺注射生理盐水和对应剂量的菌液(50 mL/只),注射后24 h解剖观察病理变化,一侧乳头制作石蜡切片,另一侧研磨后用ELISA检测试剂盒检测组织匀浆上清中的TNF-α含量。结果显示,注射菌液的试验组,小鼠均出现不同程度的临床症状,乳腺出现不同程度的炎性症状和病理变化。同一注射剂量下,金黄色葡萄球菌质控菌株较金黄色葡萄球菌 SCVs病理变化严重,通过SPSS等软件对试验数据进行统计分析后得出,高浓度处理组金黄色葡萄球菌质控菌株的TNF-α表达量极显著高于金黄色葡萄球菌SCVs(P<0.01)。结果表明,金黄色葡萄球菌及其SCVs均可用来建立小鼠乳房炎模型,且金黄色葡萄球菌SCVs引起的情况较其正常株轻微,这一结果为由金黄色葡萄球菌SCVs引起的奶牛慢性乳房炎的预防和控制及其致病机制的研究提供了新的材料和有益的探索,为SCVs与慢性乳房炎更深层次关系的研究奠定基础。 相似文献

In order to establish the mouse mastitis model induced by Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants (SCVs),40 BALB/c mice 6 to 8 days postpartum were randomly divided into eight groups,negative control group,physiologic saline group and six treated groups with different doses (1.0×103,1.0×104 and 1.0×105 CFU/mL) of Staphylococcus aureus SCVs or Staphylococcus aureus quality control strains.50 μL physiologic saline and Staphylococcus aureus liquid were injected into the forth mammary glands in physiologic saline group and the six treated groups,respectively.All the mice were sacrificed 24 h after treatment.One side of the forth mammary glands was used to make pathological section,the other side was used to detect the concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant.The results showed that mice had different degrees of clinical symptoms in the treated groups,their mammary glands appeared different degrees of inflammatory symptoms and pathological changes.Under the same injected dose,the Staphylococcus aureus quality control strains group pathologic changed more severe than the Staphylococcus aureus SCVs group.The experimental data had been statistically analyzed by using SPSS software,the result showed that the expression of TNF-α of the Staphylococcus aureus quality control strains group were extremely significantly higher than that of Staphylococcus aureus SCVs group with high dose (P<0.01).The results indicated that Staphylococcus aureus and its SCVs could be used to establish the mice mastitis model,and Staphylococcus aureus SCVs caused relatively minor inflammation than the normal strains.The results provided a new research materials and meaningful exploration to research the prevention and control of chronic mastitis cows and its pathogenic mechanism caused by Staphylococcus aureus SCVs,and laid the foundation for studying the deeper relationship between Staphylococcus aureus SCVs and chronic mastitis. 相似文献

A total of 356 early lactation multiparous Holstein cows were used in a randomized complete block design to determine the effects of feeding extruded linseed on milk production and composition, and reproductive performance. Forty of these cows were randomly selected to study the effects of extruded linseed on milk fatty acid (FA) profile, individual feed intake and prostaglandin secretion. Cows were fed a 40:60 forage to concentrate ratio diet (17.9% CP, 27.7% NDF and 6.0% EE) ad libitum that was similar in composition between treatments except for the protein supplements that differed and were control (CTR: 4.9% extruded soybean) and linseed (LIN: 5.5% extruded linseed). Individual DM intake measured at 40 (23.0 kg/d) and 90 (24.2 kg/d) days in milk, and milk yield (45.0 kg/d) were not affected by treatment, but the lower (P < 0.05) milk fat percentage in cows fed LIN (2.65%) compared with CTR (2.86%) resulted in lower (P < 0.05) 4.0% fat-corrected milk yield for cows fed LIN (35.4 kg/d) compared with CTR (37.7 kg/d). Milk protein content was higher (P < 0.05) in LIN (3.04%) than in CTR (3.00%). The concentration of saturated FA was lower (P < 0.05) in milk fat from LIN (56.2%) compared with CTR (60.2%). Monounsaturated FA (35.7 vs. 32.7%) and polyunsaturated FA (8.0 vs. 6.9%) were higher in LIN (P < 0.05) than in CTR. Supplementation with LIN also increased (P < 0.05) the proportion of vaccenic acid (2.21 vs. 1.55%), total conjugated linoleic acid (0.91 vs. 0.72%) and n-3 FA (1.21 vs. 0.54%) in milk compared with CTR. Plasma concentrations of prostaglandin metabolite were numerically lower in LIN (106 pg/ml) compared with CTR (120 pg/ml) (P = 0.16) but reproductive performance was similar between treatments. In summary, extruded linseed reduced milk fat percentage and 4.0% fat-corrected milk yield and increased milk protein percentage and the content of healthy FA in milk without modifying DM intake, milk yield and reproductive performance. 相似文献
