Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects on male chicken performance of anacardic acid and cashew nut shell oil as feed supplements during an experimental coccidial infection. Seven-day-old chicks wer e fed a corn-soybean diet containing anacardic acid at 0, 0.4 or 0.8% (Experiment 1), or cashew nut shell oil at 0, 0.1, 0.2 or 0.4% (Experiment 2) for 10 days. On the third day of each experiment, half of the birds fed each diet were individually inoculated orally with 2 × 103 or 5 × 104 (Experiment 1) and 1 × 104 or 1 × 105 (Experiment 2) Eimeria tenella oocysts. In Experiment 1, body weight gain and cecal length decreased significantly according to the level of oocyst inoculation, while oocyst production per cecum (log value) and cecal lesion score significantly increased. Dietary anacardic acid supplementation had no effect on these parameters except for that of lesion score, which was improved (i.e. decreased) by anacardic acid supplementation of 0.8% at the inoculation level of 2 × 103 oocysts, and of 0.4 and 0.8% for the higher inoculation (5 × 104 oocysts). Results of Experiment 2 also showed that cashew nut shell oil affected neither cecal length nor oocyst production per cecum (log value) at either of the inoculation levels, but the lesion score was improved by cashew nut shell oil supplementation at 0.2 and 0.4% in the diet at the inoculation level of 1 × 104 oocysts and at 0.4% for the higher inoculation. The present study provides the first evidence of the reducing effects of anacardic acid and cashew nut shell oil on the severity of cecal lesions in chickens during an experimental coccidial infection. 相似文献

A total of 233 silages were examined and found that Monascus ruber was present in 43 samples with counts between 1 × 103 and 9 × 106 colony-forming units (CFU)/g (mean: 2 × 105 CFU/g). Monacolin KL and the hydroxy acid monacolin KA were detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in 45 and 50 of 233 samples at levels ranging from 25–15 600 and 28–65 400 μ g/kg, respectively. Citrinin was found with high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection (FLD) in 14 (6%) samples, the concentrations varied between 2.4 and 64.2 μ g/kg. The concentrations of citrinin were low and toxic effects are not anticipated. Monacolin KA and monacolin KL occur frequently and in considerable amounts in silages. These metabolites are believed to influence the metabolic activity of rumen anaerobic fungi resulting in a poorer digestion of crude fibre. 相似文献

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect bovine serum antibodies directed to the outer membrane antigen of a ruminal bacteria, Bacteroides succinogenes. The outer membrane antigen of B. succinogenes was highly reactive against homologous antiserum, compared with rabbit sera raised against B. ruminicola subsp. ruminicola, B. ruminicola subsp. brevis and Selenomonas ruminantium. The titers of sera from colostrum-deprived calves were negligible level, while those of sera from colostrum-fed calves were relatively high. The mean titer of sera from 10 day-old calves was significantly (p less than 0.01) higher than that of 40 day-old calves, and was significantly (p less than 0.01) lower than that of adult cattle. The mean titer of sera from dairy cows which fed high-roughage diet was higher than that of feedlot cattle which fed high-concentrate diet. These results suggest that the antibodies against the outer membrane antigen of B. succinogenes transfer to calves via the colostrum, and that the titers of cows are affected by the way of feed management. 相似文献

The effect of the endocrine-disrupting chemical 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphyenl (PCB 126) on intestinal microbiota after oral administration, and the improvement of intestinal microbiota and feces quantity by the subsequent administration of Lactobacillus acidophilus or Lactobacillus reuteri was investigated. All the rats were given 100 μg/kg bodyweight of PCB 126. The changes in bacterial counts were confirmed using a culture method. The administration of PCB 126 tended to decrease the bacterial counts of lactobacilli (109.6 −1010.2 to 108.8 −109.2 ) and bifidobacteria (105.3 −106.1 to 103.6 −104.2 ), and to increase those of Enterobacteriaceae (108.2 −109.1 to 109.4 −1010.3 ) and staphylococci (106.6 −107.4 to 107.2 −108.4 ) compared to no PCB 126 administration. After administration of PCB 126, L. acidophilus or L. reuteri orally administered to rats caused Enterobacteriaceae and staphylococci counts to decrease, suggesting that the intestinal microbiota was improved by the lactobacilli. The administration of L. acidophilus and L. reuteri improved the balance of intestinal microbiota, and defecation volume returned to its normal level. L. acidophilus and L. reuteri have a remedial effect on intestinal microbiota affected by PCB 126 and can function to lessen accumulated PCB 126 volume. 相似文献

Background: Intravenous administration of human immunoglobulin G (hIVIgG) has been suggested to potentiate thromboembolism in dogs, but supportive scientific reports are lacking.
Objectives: To determine if hIVIgG therapy promotes hypercoagulability and inflammation in dogs.
Animals: Twelve healthy Beagle dogs.
Methods: Prospective, experimental trial. An hIVIgG/saline solution was infused IV at 1 g/kg BW over 8 hours to 6 dogs, and physiological saline was infused to the other 6 dogs. Blood samples were drawn before, during, and after infusion for serial measurement of indicators of coagulation and inflammation. Data were analyzed by 2-way repeated measures analysis of variance.
Results: Dogs administered hIVIgG developed mildly decreased blood platelet concentrations without thrombocytopenia (median, 200 × 103 /μL; range, 150–302 × 103 /μL; P < .01), leukopenia (median, 3.5 × 103 /μL; range, 20–62 × 103 /μL; P < .001), and mildly increased plasma total protein concentrations (median, 6.3 g/dL; range, 5.6–6.7 g/dL; P < .001). Administration of hIVIgG was also associated with increases in fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products in all dogs (either 5 μg/mL or 10 μg/dL), thrombin-antithrombin III complexes (median, 7.2 ng/mL; range, 4.9–14.2 ng/mL; P < .001), and C-reactive protein concentrations (median, 2.5 mg/dL; range, 0.5–4.3 mg/dL; P < .01).
Conclusion and Clinical Importance: Administration of hIVIgG to dogs promotes hypercoagulability and an inflammatory state. This should be further evaluated and considered when using hIVIgG in dogs with IMHA or other prothrombotic conditions. 相似文献

Objective To examine haematological features in five species of healthy, captive marine mammals.
Animals Twenty bottlenose dolphins ( Tursips truncatus ), seven Pacific white-sided dolphins ( Lagenorhynchus obliquidens ), five Risso dolphins ( Grampus griseus ) and five false killer whales ( Pseudorca crassidens ).
Results and conclusion The red blood cell count was 4.21 × 1012 /L in bottlenose dolphins, 5.32 × 1012 /L in Pacific white-sided dolphins, 4.35 × 1012 /L in Risso dolphins and 4.43 × 1012 /L in false killer whales. The haemoglobin concentration was 1.51 g/L and packed cell volume 44.7% in bottlenose dolphins; the corresponding values were 1.71 g/L and 48.9% in Pacific white-sided dolphins, 1.72 g/L and 49.4% in Risso dolphins, and 1.52 g/L and 47.8% in false killer whales. The white blood cell count was 7.097 × 109 /L in bottlenose dolphins, 5.928 × 109 /L in Pacific white-sided dolphins, 5.001 × 109 /L in Risso dolphins and 7.921 × 109 /L in false killer whales. There were no significant differences in these values among bottlenose dolphins and Pacific white-sided dolphins. The proportion of eosinophils in the differential leukocyte count ranged from 10.3% to 11.5% in bottlenose dolphins, Pacific white-sided dolphins and false killer whales, but was only 0.4% in Risso dolphins. The eosinophilic granules were larger in Risso dolphins and false killer whales than in bottlenose and Pacific white-sided dolphins. 相似文献

Background: Chronic kidney failure is frequently seen in middle-aged and elderly cats. 51 Chromium-ethylene diaminic tetraacetic acid (51 Cr-EDTA) clearance and single blood sample (SBS) method are used in several species to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
Hypothesis: The hypothesis of this study was that51 Cr-EDTA clearance could be determined using an SBS method in normal and hyperthyroid cats.
Animals: Forty-six cats were included in this study, with an average age of 9.5 years. Of these cats, 27 had hyperthyroidism; 19 were healthy.
Methods: After IV injection of51 Cr-EDTA (average dose: 4.25 MBq), 7 blood samples were obtained between 5 and 240 minutes. Reference clearance was calculated in mL/min and mL/min/kg body weight, using a 2-compartment model. Optimal time for clearance measurement with SBS was then determined by systematically comparing each individual plasma concentration to the reference multisample clearance.
Results: The average reference plasma clearance of51 Cr-EDTA for all cats was 14.9 mL/min (3.7 mL/min/kg). The clearance in hyperthyroid cats averaged 16.4 mL/min (4.3 mL/min/kg) and in normal cats averaged 10.3 mL/min (2.4 mL/min/kg).
The optimal time for the SBS was 48 minutes after injection of tracer51 Cr-EDTA ( R 2 = 0.9414), giving the following converting equation: clearance = (0.0066 × DV48 minutes ) – 0.9277 (in mL/min).
Conclusions and Clinical Importance: In this study, the single sample51 Cr-EDTA clearance method was used to estimate the global GFR in cats. The method identified differences in clearance between normal and hyperthyroid cats. The optimal time for an SBS was 48 minutes. 相似文献

Hyperglycemic clamp and hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp techniques were used to investigate effects of diet and cold exposure on insulin responsiveness to glucose and tissue responsiveness and sensitivity to insulin in adult rams. The sheep were fed a high-concentrate diet (80% concentrate and 20% roughage) and a high-roughage diet (20% concentrate and 80% roughage), both 70% above the ME requirement for maintenance, and were exposed to a thermoneutral environment (20 degrees C) and a cold environment (0 degrees C) for 2 wk. The estimated ME intake was greater (P < .01) for the high-concentrate diet than for the high-roughage diet. In the hyperglycemic clamp experiment, the ratio of the plasma insulin increment to the glucose infusion rate (insulin responsiveness to glucose) was lower during cold exposure than in the thermoneutral environment in sheep fed the high-concentrate diet but was unchanged in sheep fed the high-roughage diet. In the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp experiment, the glucose infusion rate (tissue responsiveness to insulin) was higher (P < .01) for the high-concentrate diet than for the high-roughage diet, and it was also higher (P < .01) during cold exposure than in the thermoneutral environment, indicating that tissue responsiveness to insulin was intensified in sheep fed the high-concentrate diet during cold exposure associated with the higher energy intake. These results suggest that both reduced insulin responsiveness and enhanced tissue responsiveness to insulin in sheep exposed to cold were dependent on the type of diet. 相似文献

Factors limiting the maintenance of recombinant ruminal bacterium in the rumen were evaluated in vitro , using batch culture prepared from rumen fluid of sheep. Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens expressing a foreign xylanase gene ( B. fibrisolvens NO4) was used as a tested recombinant that was selectable on an erythromycin-containing agar medium. The recombinant tended to reduce its level slowly in the rumen fluid of sheep on a high hay diet, while its initial decrease was more apparent in the rumen fluid of sheep on a high concentrate diet. Incubation with cell-free ruminal fluid revealed a significant decrease of inoculated recombinant, suggesting the presence of antibacterial factors limiting maintenance of the recombinant. In particular, during the first 12 h of incubation this inhibition was more notable in culture prepared from rumen fluid of sheep given the high concentrate diet. Autoclaving the cell-free rumen fluid inactivated the inhibition. Numbers of the recombinant for inoculation did not influence the final level of survived recombinant, that is, the initial depression was larger as more recombinant was inoculated. Subculturing with xylan before inoculation and/or direct addition of xylan to the batch culture did not improve survival of the recombinant. From these results it is suggested that the level of survived recombinant is limited to 102–4 /mL of in vitro batch culture with restricted energy supply and that initial depression of the recombinant is mainly caused by the heat-sensitive antibacterial factors not associating with microbial cells in the rumen. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of dietary phytase on the true absorption and endogenous fecal excretion of zinc (Zn) using 67 Zn in growing pigs given a corn-soybean meal based diet. Ten crossbred barrows were fed the control diet containing 90-mg/kg Zn, 2.3-g/kg phytate-phosphorus and 3.7-g/kg non-phytate-phosphorus or the phytase diet containing similar amounts of Zn and phytate-phosphorus, and 1.4-g/kg non-phytate-phosphorus with 750-PU/kg phytase for 12 h/day. On day 6, the pigs were given 200 g of the corresponding diet labeled by 67 Zn for 2 h. We measured feed intake, fecal Zn concentration and 67 Zn abundance for the determination of apparent absorption, true absorption and endogenous fecal excretion of Zn. Although the apparent absorption of Zn did not significantly differ between the dietary groups, the phytase group had significantly more ( P < 0.05) true absorption of Zn than the control group. The endogenous fecal excretion of Zn tended to be more ( P = 0.07) in the phytase group than in the control group. These results suggest that dietary phytase improves Zn bioavailability through increasing the true absorption of Zn in growing pigs, which results in stimulating the endogenous fecal excretion of Zn when dietary Zn satisfies its requirement. 相似文献

This study was carried out to determine whether yohimbine antagonizes the retrograde flow of spermatozoa into the urinary bladder of dogs caused by xylazine. Adult dogs were assigned to one of four groups of six dogs each and treated as follows: saline control, xylazine (2.2 mg/kg, i.m.), yohimbine (0.2 mg/kg, im.), yohimbine/xylazine (yohimbine, 0.2 mg/kg, i.m., followed 10 min later by xylazine. 2.2 mg/kg, i.m.). Pre- and post-treatment urine were collected by cystocentesis from all dogs. The mean (± SD) adjusted total number of spermatozoa in the post-treatment urine of xylazine-treated dogs (141.02 ± 136.75 × 106 ) was 15 times higher ( P < 0.05) than the number in the post-treatment urine of control dogs (9.16 ± 20.26 × 106 ), 1763 times higher ( P < 0.05) than the number in the urine of yohimbine-treated dogs (0.08 ± 0.20 × 106 ), and 56 times higher ( P < 0.05) than the total number in the post-treatment urine of yohimbine/xylazine-treated dogs (2.54 ± 4.54 × 106 ). These results confirm that xylazine induces a significant ( P = 0.007) displacement of spermatozoa into the urinary bladder of dogs and demonstrate that pre-treatment with yohimbine prevents this effect. 相似文献

The leucocytic picture in 90 mature, healthy dromedary-cows, representing the different reproductive phases, as well as, the non-cyclic one, was determined. The non-cyclic camels possess high total leucocytic count (15.5 × 10 3 /cm 3 ) compared with other ruminants. Moreover, neutrophilic domination (58.7%) with increased N / L ratio (1.5) in camels is not typical for other quadrupeds. At oestrus, there was a mild neutrophilia, eosinopenia and lymphopenia (61.1%, 0,4% and 37,4%, respectively versus respective values of 58.7%, 0, 7% and 39, 7% in non-cyclic camels). However, the total number of leucocytes was reduced (13.7 vs. 15.5 × 10 3 / cm 3 ). A steady neutrophilia, eosinophilia and lymphopenia was associated with advancement of gestation in camels. An exceptional transient leucocytosis (P<0.05), with elevation in the lymphocyte proportion, occurred during the 9 th and 10 th month. At the preparturient period, a significant (P < 0.01) leucopenia, with neutrophilia (P < 0.01), lymphopenia (P < 0.05), and eosinopenia were reported. During early puerperium, the dromedary's leucogram revealed a typical moderate hematologic response to stress, manifested by lymphopenia (P < 0.01), eosinopenia (P < 0.05) and neutrophilia (P < 0.01) resulting in leucocytosis (P < 0.05 ). 相似文献

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of reducing dietary crude protein on growth performance, odor gas emission from manure and blood urea nitrogen and IGF-1 concentrations of serum in nursery pigs. In experiment 1, the dietary treatments were (i) CON (CP 19.5%) and (ii) T1 (CP 16.0%). In feces samples, NH3 , H2 S, acetic acid and butyric acid emissions during the T1 treatment were lower than during the CON treatment ( P < 0.05). In feces-urine samples, NH3 emission during the T1 treatment was lower than during the CON treatment ( P < 0.05). In experiment 2, 28 crossbred (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc) pigs (13.58 ± 0.10 kg) were used for a 42-day growth trial. Throughout the entire experimental period, ADG and ADFI of the CON treatment were higher than the T1 treatment ( P < 0.05). On day 14, N digestibility in pigs fed the CON diet was higher than that of pigs fed the T1 diet ( P < 0.05). On days 28 and 42, DM digestibility of the CON diet was greater than the T1 treatment ( P < 0.05). On dat 42, serum BUN concentration of pigs fed the CON diet was higher than that of pigs fed the T1 diet ( P < 0.05). In conclusion, these results indicate that reduction in dietary CP concentration decreased NH3 , H2 S and VFA emissions in feces and growth performance in nursery pigs. 相似文献

The value of routine evaluation of bull semen was analysed for 117 AI bulls placed in two studs. Data from semen analysis of a total of 1635 ejaculates was compared statistically with the nonreturn rates of the bulls. The semen parameters which were significantly correlated to nonreturn rates were the motility of the freshly collected ejaculates (p = 0.0140) and post-thaw motility (p = 0.0075). The total number of motile sperm in the inseminate ranged from 10.9 to 19.3 × 106 and according to previous reports the effects of low motility should be fully 'compensated' when doses above 10 × 106 sperm/dose are used for insemination. In conclusion, the motility of freshly collected semen does not appear to be 'compensation' and a low percentage of motile sperm in an ejaculate may indicate other dysfunctions of the population of motile cells. Furthermore, post-thaw motility appears to correlate significantly with nonreturn rates. The largest proportion of the variation was explained by the breed of the bull and stud (42.2% of the variation), whereas the two motility parameters explained 10% of the total variation in nonreturn rates. Objective and precise evaluation of sperm motility in combination with other semen traits are needed to improve breeding efficiency. Although microscopic evaluation of sperm motility correlates with nonreturn rates of bulls, the methods are subjectively assessed and inaccurate and therefore do not allow a satisfactory prediction of fertility. 相似文献

Prevalence of low automated platelet counts in cats: comparison with prevalence of thrombocytopenia based on blood smear estimation 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Abstract: True thrombocytopenia is uncommon in cats; however, low platelet counts frequently are found using automated cell counters. Although this discrepancy is a well known problem, the prevalence of low automated platelet counts in feline blood samples has not been documented. We retrospectively compared the prevalence of low automated platelet counts with low blood smear-estimated platelet counts in feline blood samples. Results of blood sample analysis from 359 cats during a 1-year period at the University of Glasgow Veterinary Haematology Laboratory were examined. Smear estimates of platelet number were done in those cases in which records did not indicate adequate platelet numbers. Platelet counts obtained with an impedance counter (Minos Vet, Abx Hematologie) were <200×109 cells/L in 256 samples (71%) and <50×109 cells/L in 43 samples (12%). However, based on estimation of platelet numbers from blood smears, only 11 samples (3.1%) had platelet counts of <200×109 cells/L and 9 samples (2.5%) had counts of <50×109 cells/L. Four cats with thrombocytopenia estimated by blood smear evaluation had clinical signs of a bleeding disorder. Disorders associated with thrombocytopenia included neoplasia, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and infectious diseases. There was no evidence that delay due to mailing of samples was associated with lower automated platelet counts than would have been obtained on the day of sampling. The high prevalence of apparent thrombocytopenia in automated platelet counts was attributed to a combination of platelet aggregation and the impedance method of cell differentiation by size. Vigilance and careful examination of blood smears is required to identify the few cats with true thrombocytopenia. 相似文献

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of Lactobacillus probiotics on growth performance,nutrient digestibility and serum biochemical indexes in arctic foxes during the winter fur-growing period. Forty 135-day-old female arctic foxes with a similar body weight were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 replicates per group and 1 fox per replicate. The foxes in control group were fed basal diets,while that of groups Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were fed basal diet+0.02% colistin sulfate, basal diet+1 mL Lactobacillus probiotics (active Lactobacillus was 3×109 CFU/mL) and basal diet+10 mL Lactobacillus probiotics,respectively. The results showed that:Compared to the control group,the addition of Lactobacillus probiotics significantly increased the average daily gain (P<0.05) and significantly decreased the F/G of arctic foxes during the winter fur-growing period (P<0.05).The apparent digestibility of EE and GE were significantly increased when arctic foxes fed diet supplemented with Lactobacillus probiotics (P<0.05).Supplementation of high level Lactobacillus probiotics could significantly decrease serum total cholesterol (P<0.05). Additionally,serum alanine aminotransferase concentration of group Ⅱ was extremely significantly higher than that of the other three treatments (P<0.01). Moreover,the serum aspartate aminotransferase concentration was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). In conclusion,the addition of Lactobacillus probiotics had beneficial effects on growth performance and apparent digestibility of EE and GE when arctic foxes got 3×109 CFU/mL active Lactobacillus from the probiotics per day. The total cholesterol in serum was significantly decreased when arctic foxes get 3×1010 CFU/mL active Lactobacillus from the probiotics per day. It might cause the liver damage when arctic fox got colistin sulfate for a long time. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary nitrate on methane emission and rumen fermentation parameters in Nellore × Guzera (Bos indicus) beef cattle fed a sugarcane based diet. The experiment was conducted with 16 steers weighing 283 ± 49 kg (mean ± SD), 6 rumen cannulated and 10 intact steers, in a cross-over design. The animals were blocked according to BW and presence or absence of rumen cannula and randomly allocated to either the nitrate diet (22 g nitrate/kg DM) or the control diet made isonitrogenous by the addition of urea. The diets consisted of freshly chopped sugarcane and concentrate (60:40 on DM basis), fed as a mixed ration. A 16-d adaptation period was used to allow the rumen microbes to adapt to dietary nitrate. Methane emission was measured using the sulfur hexafluoride tracer technique. Dry matter intake (P = 0.09) tended to be less when nitrate was present in the diet compared with the control, 6.60 and 7.05 kg/d DMI, respectively. The daily methane production was reduced (P < 0.01) by 32% when steers were fed the nitrate diet (85 g/d) compared with the urea diet (125 g/d). Methane emission per kilogram DMI was 27% less (P < 0.01) on the nitrate diet (13.3 g methane/kg DMI) than on the control diet (18.2 g methane/kg DMI). Methane losses as a fraction of gross energy intake (GEI) were less (P < 0.01) on the nitrate diet (4.2% of GEI) than on the control diet (5.9% of GEI). Nitrate mitigated enteric methane production by 87% of the theoretical potential. The rumen fluid ammonia-nitrogen (NH(3)-N()) concentration was significantly greater (P < 0.05) for the nitrate diet. The total concentration of VFA was not affected (P = 0.61) by nitrate in the diet, while the proportion of acetic acid tended to be greater (P = 0.09), propionic acid less (P = 0.06) and acetate/propionate ratio tended to be greater (P = 0.06) for the nitrate diet. Dietary nitrate reduced enteric methane emission in beef cattle fed sugarcane based diet. 相似文献

试验旨在研究乳酸菌微生态制剂对冬毛期北极狐生长性能、营养物质消化率及血清生化指标的影响。选取135日龄、体重相近的健康雌性北极狐40只,随机分为4组,每组10个重复,每个重复1只。Ⅰ组饲喂基础日粮;Ⅱ组饲喂基础日粮+0.02%硫酸黏杆菌素;Ⅲ组饲喂基础日粮+1 mL乳酸菌微生态制剂（乳酸菌活菌数为3×109 CFU/mL）;Ⅳ组饲喂基础日粮+10 mL乳酸菌微生态制剂。结果显示：与对照组相比,添加乳酸菌微生态制剂可显著提高冬毛期北极狐平均日增重（P<0.05）,并显著降低料重比（P<0.05）;可显著提高冬毛期北极狐粗脂肪和总能表观消化率（P<0.05）;添加高水平乳酸菌微生态制剂可显著降低冬毛期北极狐血清总胆固醇水平（P<0.05）。此外,抗生素组北极狐血清谷丙转氨酶水平极显著高于其他各组（P<0.01）,谷草转氨酶水平显著高于对照组（P<0.05）。综上所述,在本试验条件下,当北极狐日采食活乳酸菌数达到3×109 CFU/mL时即可促进其生长,粗脂肪和总能表观消化率显著提高;当北极狐日采食活乳酸菌数达到3×1010 CFU/mL时,血清总胆固醇水平显著降低;长期添加硫酸黏杆菌素可能造成北极狐肝脏损伤。 相似文献

A system was designed to allow a small swine farm in a northern latitude to use its own boars for artificial insemination (AI) conveniently. Semen was collected twice weekly for 3 day use (days 0, 1 and 2), extended in an egg yolk extender and stored at 5°C. Farm personnel were trained to manage the entire AI programme. For simplicity all semen collected was used for insemination. In the first test 47 gilts and 15 sows were inseminated with semen from four boars. One boar was subfertile with a farrowing rate of 36%. The averages for the other boars ranged from 71 to 100%. Then semen was collected from seven boars and all was used to inseminate 70 gilts and 55 sows with 3 × 109 or more sperm. Overall 63% farrowed an average of 10.1 piglets per litter. Litter size for sows was 1.5 piglets larger than for gilts. There was no difference in farrowing rate when more than 3 × 109 sperm were inseminated. The feasibility of initiating a complete AI programme within a small herd using herd boars was established. However, selection of the boars, use of only high quality semen, and experience with detecting oestrus was required to increase the farrowing rate. The use of various agents to protect sperm against cold shock below 15°C is worthy of further investigation. A new type of electronic probe, which measures the conductivity of cervical mucus, could be helpful if a boar is not available for conventional detection of oestrus. 相似文献
