This study compared the reproductive and growth performances of pigs before and after depopulation and
restocking after a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in Japan. Data for the time period before and after
depopulation and restocking were obtained from three farrow-to-finish farms. As a result of depopulation and
restocking, hygiene levels were improved, and common infectious diseases, such as porcine reproductive and
respiratory syndrome and Aujeszky’s disease, remained undetected on the farms. Compared with before
depopulation, reproductive and growth performances improved after depopulation; the number of total pigs born
was higher, the postweaning mortality rate was lower, and the age at slaughter was lower
(P<0.05). In summary, depopulation and restocking improved the reproductive and growth
performances of pigs. 相似文献

Cerebellar ataxia due to Toxocara infection in Mongolian gerbils,Meriones unguiculatus 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We assessed the usefulness of gerbils as an experimental model for neurologic toxocarosis. Mongolian gerbils, Meriones unguiculatus, infected with Toxocara canis or Toxocara cati (1000 eggs/gerbil) showed progressive neurologic disorders from 50 days after infection in T. canis-infected gerbils or from 120 days after infection in T. cati-infected gerbils. The incidence of the onset was 6 of the 13 gerbils (49%) in the T. canis-gerbils and 5 of the 7 gerbils (71%) in the T. cati-gerbils. Histopathologically, the cerebellum was the most affected in both groups. We observed loss of Purkinje cells, glial nerve fibers, and nerve sheaths. We also found foci consisting of aggregated macrophages scattered in the white matter of the cerebellum. The affected gerbils showed ataxia and ultimately died of cachexia. Our findings suggest that irreversible neurologic toxocarosis in gerbils can be induced by infection with either T. canis or T. cati. 相似文献

Three different polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocols were evaluated for their ability to detect bovine herpesvirus 2 (BoHV-2): single-step PCR with 3 reaction stages (denaturation, annealing and extension), 2 reaction stages (denaturation and annealing/extension; shuttle PCR), and semi-nested PCR with 3 reaction stages. All the PCR protocols showed the same sensitivity (detection limit of 0.4 TCID(50)). A non-specific band sometimes appeared in mock cell DNA at annealing temperatures below 64 degrees C. The shuttle PCR was found to be superior to the other protocols under consideration because of the speed of its application. Furthermore, no non-specific band was detected in DNAs of eight other DNA viruses. Thus, the shuttle PCR seems to be an excellent diagnostic tool for BoHV-2 infections. 相似文献

The purposes of this study were to examine the relationship between male artificial insemination (AI)
fertility and sperm acrosomal conditions assessed by new and conventional staining techniques and to identify
possible reproductive dysfunctions causing low conception rates in AI using frozen-thawed spermatozoa with
poor acrosomal conditions in Japanese Black bulls. We investigated individual differences among bulls in the
results concerning (1) acrosomal conditions of frozen-thawed spermatozoa as assessed by not merely peanut
agglutinin-lectin staining (a conventional staining technique) but also immunostaining of acrosomal
tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins (a new staining technique), (2) routine AI using frozen-thawed spermatozoa as
assessed by pregnancy diagnosis, (3) in vivo fertilization of frozen-thawed spermatozoa and
early development of fertilized eggs as assessed by superovulation/AI-embryo collection tests and (4)
in vitro fertilization of frozen-thawed spermatozoa with oocytes. The percentages of
frozen-thawed spermatozoa with normal acrosomal conditions assessed by the abovementioned staining techniques
were significantly correlated with the conception rates of routine AI, rates of transferable embryos in
superovulation/AI-embryo collection tests and in vitro fertilization rates. These results are
consistent with new suggestions that the distribution of acrosomal tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins as well as
the acrosomal morphology of frozen-thawed spermatozoa are AI fertility-associated markers that are valid for
the prediction of AI results and that low conception rates in AI using frozen-thawed spermatozoa with poor
acrosomal conditions result from reproductive dysfunctions in the processes between sperm insemination into
females and early embryo development, probably failed fertilization of frozen-thawed spermatozoa with
oocytes. 相似文献

Mitigation of nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from swine wastewater treatment in an aerobic bioreactor packed with carbon fibers 下载免费PDF全文

Mitigation of nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from swine wastewater treatment was demonstrated in an aerobic bioreactor packed with carbon fibers (CF reactor). The CF reactor had a demonstrated advantage in mitigating N2O emission and avoiding NOx (NO3 + NO2) accumulation. The N2O emission factor was 0.0003 g N2O‐N/gTN‐load in the CF bioreactor compared to 0.03 gN2O‐N/gTN‐load in an activated sludge reactor (AS reactor). N2O and CH4 emissions from the CF reactor were 42 g‐CO2 eq/m3/day, while those from the AS reactor were 725 g‐CO2 eq/m3/day. The dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the CF reactor removed an average of 156 mg/L of the NH4‐N, and accumulated an average of 14 mg/L of the NO3‐N. In contrast, the DIN in the AS reactor removed an average 144 mg/L of the NH4‐N and accumulated an average 183 mg/L of the NO3‐N. NO2‐N was almost undetectable in both reactors. 相似文献

We investigated the reproductive and lifetime performances of Kagoshima Berkshire gilts and sows. We examined 20 605 parity records of 4419 pigs for 2008 to 2012 on a farrow‐to‐finish commercial farm. The mean parity (± SD) of all animals was 3.0 ± 2.1. For farrowing performance, the highest numbers of total pigs born and pigs born alive were found in sows with parities 5 and 6 and with parity 3–6, respectively (P < 0.05). Regarding weaning and mating performance, sows with parity 2 had the lowest preweaning mortality (P < 0.05). The longest weaning‐to‐first‐mating interval was found in parity 1 pigs, and the interval decreased as parity increased (P < 0.05). Parities 0 and 1 pigs had the lowest farrowing rate and those with parity 4 had the highest farrowing rate (P < 0.05). The mean parity at culling, total number of pigs born alive in a lifetime, and nonproductive days in a lifetime were 5.5 ± 2.93, 49.2 ± 24.72 pigs, and 132.1 ± 83.34 days, respectively. These animals had a lower litter size and fertility that the F1 crossbred sows mainly used in Japan, but a similar tendency for performance by parity. 相似文献

Gene dropping analysis of founder contributions in a closed Japanese black cattle population 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Gene dropping simulation was applied to Japanese Black cattle population in Hyogo prefecture, to examine the survivals of alleles originated from founder animals. In the analysis, unique alleles were assigned to founders, and the genotypes of all descendants along the actual pedigree were generated through Monte Carlo simulation following Mendelian segregation rules. By replicating this process 10 000 times, the distribution of frequencies of alleles from each founder was estimated. From the distribution, several quantities useful for the management of genetic diversity, such as the probability of allele extinction and the probability of alleles surviving at a critically low frequency were derived. The materials used were 68 781 animals born in 1955–1998 and their pedigree records traced back to the population in 1937 or before. The expected number of alleles retained in the population drastically decreased during the analyzed period, and reached to 57.9 in the population of 1998, which was only 3.3% of the total number of alleles assigned to founders. Detailed analysis of major founders with relatively high genetic contributions to the current population revealed that alleles from most of the major founders are now at high risk of future extinction. These results strongly suggest that for the management of genetic diversity, the genetic contributions of founders are not fully informative, and emphasize the importance of the detection of live animals having founder alleles with high extinction possibilities. 相似文献
