SURFACE CHEMISTRY OF THE HYDRANDEPTS AND ITS RELATION TO NITRATE ADSORPTION AS AFFECTED BY PROFILE DEPTH AND DEHYDRATION1     

V. BALASUBRAMANIAN  Y. KANEHIRO 《European Journal of Soil Science》1978,29(1):47-57

The pH₀ and ZPC of two Hydiandepts were determined by potentiomettic titiation in NaCl and by ion adsorption measurements from NH₄NO₃, respectively. The decrease of pH, pH₀, and ZPC due to drying was explained by the hydrolysis reaction. Partial drying, high organic matter content, and low Al₂ O₃ concentration in the surface soil were responsible for its low pH, pH₀ and ZPC. The high pH₀ of subsoils was attributed to the presence of amorphous aluminosilicates and mixed polymeric gels of Fe(III) and A1 with high water content. The significant decrease of nitrate adsorption due to dehydration is discussed in relation to the change in pH, pH₀, ZPC, and surface area on drying.  相似文献   

Substrate suitability of different genotypes of sorghum in relation to Aspergillus infection and aflatoxin production     

Ratnavathi CV  Sashidhar RB 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2003,51(11):3482-3492

Grain sorghum is often damaged by rain in the field and severely infected by grain mold, which includes Aspergillus infection and aflatoxin production. The objective of the study is to investigate the extent of aflatoxin production with Aspergillus infection in vitro in different sorghum genotypes with different pericarps, red, yellow, and white, the physical and chemical characteristics of grain during infection, and the changes in grain polyphenols and phytic acid in comparison to maize and groundnut. The physical characters and biochemical composition of sorghum grain contribute to make it less susceptible to Aspergillus infection and aflatoxin contamination compared to maize and groundnut. The lowest amounts of aflatoxin and ergosterol were observed in genotypes with red pericarp, whereas higher amounts of aflatoxin and ergosterol were found in white genotypes followed by maize and groundnut. All of the red genotypes differ in polyphenol composition and aflatoxin produced, showing resistance to mold damage. Another indication of resistance in red genotypes was the delayed peaking of aflatoxin production (9 days after infection). In red sorghum genotypes there was a significant, positive correlation existing between polyphenol content and aflatoxin produced at 3 and 6 days after infection, the r values being 0.589 and 0.513, respectively. The starch content decreased whereas the protein content in all sorghum genotypes increased during infection. Maximum phytic acid was observed in white sorghum genotypes. Phytic acid in yellow genotypes was found to have a significant negative correlation (r = -0.569) with aflatoxin produced.  相似文献   

Neospora caninum infection and congenital transmission: serological and parasitological study of cows up to the fourth gestation     

Piergili Fioretti D  Pasquali P  Diaferia M  Mangili V  Rosignoli L 《Journal of veterinary medicine. B, Infectious diseases and veterinary public health》2003,50(8):399-404

In this paper, a parasitological and serological study performed in three cows up to the fourth gestation is reported in order to clarify the extent of vertical propagation and, secondly, in which period of gestation the recrudescence of previous infection occurs. The cows selected for the study delivered healthy but congenitally infected calves in first pregnancy. The parasite was found, by biological tests in Swiss mice, in all the placentas of the three cows examined, during the three subsequent gestations, at calving. The parasite was found, at slaughtering, in the brains of all nine calves born clinically healthy from the three cows as well. The serological profile, performed at monthly intervals on serum of the cows, showed that IgG and IgM increased in the third trimester of gestation; this rise of antibodies was constantly observed during the three gestations and in all three cows. In the calves, the IgG titres increase after colostrum consumption and an IgM peak at birth, were indicative of a late infection. These findings, along with negative results obtained by a serological study conducted simultaneously on 38 cows housed in the same stable as the experimental animals and the negative results obtained in isolating parasite or antibodies from farm dogs, suggest that N. caninum infection can be maintained over several bovine generations and that recrudescing persistent infection, rather than a new infection, explains the Neospora infection of calves.  相似文献   

Rumen-protected choline administration to transition cows: effects on milk production and vitamin E status   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Pinotti L  Baldi A  Politis I  Rebucci R  Sangalli L  Dell'Orto V 《Journal of veterinary medicine. A, Physiology, pathology, clinical medicine》2003,50(1):18-21

We investigated the influence of rumen-protected choline (RPC) supplementation on milk production, lipid metabolism and vitamin E status in dairy cows receiving a silage-based diet. Twenty-six Italian Holstein multiparous cows were assigned by weight and average production in the previous lactation, to one of two groups: control (no RPC supplementation) and RPC (supplemented with 20 g/day rumen-protected choline chloride). Treatment began 14 days before expected calving and continued for 30 days after parturition. Choline administration significantly increased milk production during the first month of lactation and also the concentration (and total secretion) of choline in milk, but did not affect fat or protein concentrations in milk, or plasma levels of glucose, beta-hydroxybutyrate, cholesterol and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA). However, around parturition, NEFA concentrations in plasma were lower in treated animals than in controls, suggesting improved lipid metabolism as a result of choline supplementation. Choline supplementation also increased alpha-tocopherol plasma concentrations, suggesting a novel aspect in dairy cows.  相似文献   

Reference intervals and age-related changes for platelet count, mean platelet volume and plateletcrit in healthy pre-weaning piglets in Italy     

Faustini M  Bronzo V  Maffeo G  Russo V  Munari E  Vigo D 《Journal of veterinary medicine. A, Physiology, pathology, clinical medicine》2003,50(9):466-469

Platelet count (PLT) mean platelet volume (MPV) and plateletcrit (PCT) were determined for 117 Landrace x Large White piglets aged 3-21 days; counts were performed with an automated blood cell counter (ABX Pentra 120). Reference values were estimated following the guidelines of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) and the International Committee for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH). The calculated central 95% reference limits for PLT was 49.9-516.2 x 10(9)/1, for MPV 6.71-9.91 fl and for PCT 0.009-0.395%. When observations are divided into three age groups (about 1 week each) there is an increase in mean PLT count and PCT in 2-week piglets, and a decrease in MPV from the first to the third week of life. These reference values provide guidelines for interpreting for experimental and clinical observations, as well as for monitoring of the health status of similar aged piglets determined using automated impedance-light focusing methodology.  相似文献   

Detection of papillomavirus-DNA in mesenchymal tumour cells and not in the hyperplastic epithelium of feline sarcoids     

Teifke JP  Kidney BA  Löhr CV  Yager JA 《Veterinary dermatology》2003,14(1):47-56

Abstract We examined 12 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded feline skin tumours which had the histopathological features of fibropapillomas for the presence of papillomavirus (PV) DNA using touchdown polymerase chain recation (PCR), DNA sequencing and nonradioactive in situ hybridization. Nine of the tumours contained a 102-bp PCR product demonstrated using consensus PV primers that amplify a portion of the L1 gene. The nucleotide sequences are closely related, but not identical to that of ovine PV type 2, rabbit oral PV and reindeer PV. The deduced amino acid sequences had strong homologies with the major capsid protein L1 of deer PV, bovine papillomavirus (BPV) 1 and BPV 2, and European elk PV. Although PV antigens were not detected in any of the tumours by immunohistochemistry, PV DNA was demonstrated in individual mesenchymal cells or cell nests of 4/12 tumours by in situ hybridization. A nonproductive infection of mesenchymal fibroblast-like tumour cells with a papillomavirus would explain the lack of PV antigen expression and the absence of PV DNA in the hyperplastic epithelium. Because these tumours and their pathogenesis are similar to equine sarcoids, we suggest that they should be reclassified as 'feline sarcoids' instead of fibropapillomas.  相似文献
