Effect of feeding wood kraft pulp on the growth performance,feed digestibility,blood components,and rumen fermentation in Japanese Black fattening steers     

Yuka Maeda  Keiko Nishimura  Kazuhiro Kurosu  Hitoshi Mizuguchi  Shigeru Sato  Fuminori Terada  Shiro Kushibiki 《Animal Science Journal》2019,90(4):523-532

This study aimed to examine the effects of feeding kraft pulp (KP) on the growth performance, feed digestibility, and rumen fermentation of Japanese Black fattening steers. Ten Japanese Black fattening steers (aged 26 months) were randomly divided into control and KP groups. The control group (n = 5) was fed concentrate feed without KP, and the KP group (n = 5) was fed concentrate feed containing 10% KP. Both the groups were provided rice straw as roughage. The experiment was conducted over a period of 12 weeks. There was no significant difference in dry matter intake, daily body weight gain, and nutrient digestibility between both groups. No difference was observed in the ruminal concentrations of volatile fatty acids among the groups. At weeks 8 and 12 after the onset of the experiment, the acetate‐to‐propionate ratio in the ruminal fluid of the KP group was significantly higher than that of the control group. The average daily pH of ruminal fluid and activity of ruminal lipopolysaccharide did not differ between the groups. Our results suggested that the growth performance and feed digestibility in the Japanese Black fattening steers were not influenced by replacing concentrate feed with KP.  相似文献   

甜菜碱日粮对热应激条件下肉鸭生长性能、血液指标及盲肠脂肪酸含量的影响     

田梅  张蕾  房灿  崔荣飞  杨洁  李玉卡 《中国饲料》2019,(16):68-72

文章旨在评估甜菜碱对热应激条件下肉鸭血液指标、电解质、气体分压和盲肠短链脂肪酸含量的影响。试验选择平均体重为48.6g当天孵化的肉鸭400只,随机分为4组,每组5个重复,每个重复20只。试验日粮处理分为对照组和3个处理组,对照组饲喂基础日粮(自由采食),处理1组为热应激条件下添加1500mg/kg甜菜碱,处理2组为热应激条件下5点~10点以及17点~20点饲喂含1500mg/kg甜菜碱日粮,处理3组为热应激条件下17点~10点饲喂含1500mg/kg甜菜碱日粮,试验共进行42d。结果显示:饲喂甜菜碱日粮的肉鸭较对照组体重显著提高(P<0.05)。对照组肉鸭血液红细胞总数、红细胞压积、血红蛋白、红细胞平均体积、红细胞分布宽度、血小板计数、血小板压积、血小板平均体积均低于甜菜碱组(P<0.05)。不同饲喂时间的甜菜碱组肉鸭电解质浓度均高于对照组(P<0.05)。对照组肉鸭血液二氧化碳分压、氧气分压、细胞外液碱浓度、碳酸氢盐和总二氧化碳浓度均低于甜菜碱组(P<0.05)。与对照组相比,甜菜碱组肉鸭盲肠中总短链脂肪酸、乙酸、丙酸的浓度较高(P<0.05),而丁酸、异丁酸、戊酸和异戊酸含量较低(P<0.05)。因此,与自由采食相比,在上午和下午限制饲喂甜菜碱日粮或17~10点饲喂甜菜碱日粮显著提高了热应激条件下肉鸭的生长性能和生物学参数。  相似文献   

Management and yield prediction of Kunugi (Quercus acutissima) grazing forests     

Mitsuo Matsumoto  Kenjiro Honda  Juuro Kurogi 《Journal of Forest Research》1999,4(2):61-66

This study deals with grazing in kunugi (Quercus acutissima) forests in the Aso district of Kyushu Island in southwest Japan. These forests are managed for production of bed-logs for shiitake mushrooms and cow-calf farming. One of their characteristics is short-term rotation such as 10–15 years for bed-logs and a year for calf production. A forest grazing experiment was begun in Minamioguni to look at forest growth, vegetation change and grazing intensity. Stem densities dropped in a few years. After sprout cutting, they also dropped gradually, then stabilized. Although grazing caused tree damage and suppressed tree growth, grazing intensity of up to 150 cow-days/ha·year did not harm forest regeneration. Herbage volume decreased as grazing was repeated and trees grew. Another investigation of kunugi grazing forests in Minamioguni and Asaji showed the correlation betweenRy (yield index in Stand density diagram) and grazing capacity could be expressed with a regression equation. The results were also used to design a yield table for kunugi grazing forests. The yield table has items ofRy and grazing capacity in addition to usual yield table items, and can indicate timber yield and grazing capacity at the same time. The table estimates that proper grazing capacity is 60–80 cow-days/ha·year in wild grass sites. In the light of these results, an optimal management plan was proposed as a diagram integrating stem density, forest yield, and forest management.  相似文献   

Growth,nutrient utilization,oxidative condition,and element composition of juvenile red sea bream <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pagrus major</Emphasis> fed with fermented soybean meal and scallop by-product blend as fishmeal replacement     

Md. Abdul Kader  Shunsuke Koshio  Manabu Ishikawa  Saichiro Yokoyama  Mahbuba Bulbul  Yuki Honda  Roger Edward Mamauag  Asda Laining 《Fisheries Science》2011,77(1):119-128

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of fermented soybean meal and scallop by-product blend (3:2) (FP) on the performance of juvenile red sea bream. Five isocaloric diets were prepared by replacing 0% (FP0), 15% (FP15), 30% (FP30), 45% (FP45), and 60% (FP60) fishmeal (FM) protein with FP, respectively. Triplicate groups of fish (initial mean weight 2.83 g) were fed the test diets for 45 days in a flowthrough seawater system. The results demonstrated that growth rates of fish fed FP0, FP15, and FP30 were similar, and significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those of FP45 and FP60. Nutrient utilization was significantly lower in FP60, with no differences found among the other groups. Dietary heavy-metal contents were affected by inclusion of FP, impacting on whole-body heavy-metal contents. In terms of oxidative stress, fish fed the FP30 diet were in the best condition, since this fish group showed the least oxidative-stressed condition as well as the highest tolerance against oxidation. In conclusion, the approach of utilizing this fermented mixture is promising and it could replace at least 30% FM protein in red sea bream diet without negative effects on performance, body composition or health of fish.  相似文献   

Swimming depths of the giant jellyfish <Emphasis Type="Italic">Nemopilema nomurai</Emphasis> investigated using pop-up archival transmitting tags and ultrasonic pingers     

Naoto Honda  Toshihiro Watanabe  Yoshiki Matsushita 《Fisheries Science》2009,75(4):947-956

The swimming depths of 12 individual Nemopilema nomurai with bell diameters of 0.8–1.6 m were investigated using pop-up archival transmitting tags and ultrasonic pingers, and the validity of the research method was evaluated. The N. nomurai studied frequently showed vertical movement, with the swimming depth ranging from 0 to 176 m, The mean swimming depths of most individuals were less than 40 m. The swimming depths of N. nomurai in the northern Japan Sea in the winter were mostly deeper than those of this species in the southern Japan Sea in the autumn. This result suggests that the range of the depths almost depends on the vertical structure of the ocean. Swimming depths during the nighttime were significantly deeper than those during the daytime. More specifically, during the daytime, the swimming depths in the afternoon tended to be shallower than those in the morning, while during the nighttime, the swimming depths after midnight were deeper than those before midnight.  相似文献   

Advanced maternal age induces fetal growth restriction through decreased placental inflammatory cytokine expression and immune cell accumulation in mice

Advanced maternal age is a risk factor for female infertility, and placental dysfunction is considered one of the causes of pregnancy complications. We investigated the effects of advanced maternal aging on pregnancy outcomes and placental senescence. Female pregnant mice were separated into three groups: young (3 months old), middle (8–9 months old), and aged (11–13 months old). Although the body weights of young and middle dams gradually increased during pregnancy, the body weight of aged dams only increased slightly. The placental weight and resorption rate were significantly higher, and live fetal weights were reduced in a maternal age-dependent manner. Although mRNA expression of senescence regulatory factors (p16 and p21) increased in the spleen of aged dams, mRNA expression of p16 did not change and that of p21 was reduced in the placenta of aged dams. Using a cytokine array of proteins extracted from placental tissues, the expression of various types of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors was decreased in aged dams compared with young and middle dams. The aged maternal placenta showed reduced immune cell accumulation compared with the young placenta. Our present results suggest that models using pregnant mice older than 8 months are more suitable for verifying older human pregnancies. These findings suggest that general cellular senescence programs may not be included in the placenta and that placental functions, including SASP production and immune cell accumulation, gradually decrease in a maternal age-dependent manner, resulting in a higher rate of pregnancy complications.  相似文献
