Lipids are an important nutritional component of the avian egg. A review of the literature was completed to determine the fatty acid compositions in egg yolk from some avian species. Additionally, the nutritional influence of lipid and lipoprotein content on the plasma of male participants during 30‐day feeding was discussed. The ostrich eggs had the highest unsaturated fatty acid and the lowest cholesterol content in relation to other avian species. Ostrich had a higher proportion of 18:3n‐3 (p < 0.01) compared with other species. Chicken yolk numerically contained much higher levels of 22:6n‐3 than those found in turkeys, quails and geese, but the amount of 22:6n‐3 in ostrich egg was lower by comparison with other species (p < 0.01). After the storage of eggs at the room temperature, there was a notable loss of vitamin E (vitE) in the yolks of all species and this decrease was marginal (p < 0.01) in ostrich compared with other species. There were significant (p < 0.05) increases in plasma low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) level in all male subjects. Plasma high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) level decreased (p < 0.05) only in men who were fed chicken or ostrich eggs daily. Consumption of different species’ eggs had no influence on the total male plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels. LDL‐C:HDL‐C ratio increased (p < 0.05) after goose and turkey egg consumption. Consumption of one egg/month by healthy human subjects had no effect on serum total cholesterol and triglyceride. The LDL‐C:HDL‐C ratio (which is a strong predictor of coronary heart disease risk) increased, although non‐significantly, by consuming chicken, quail and ostrich eggs.  相似文献

Porcine circovirus type 2 infection before and during an outbreak of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome on a pig farm in the UK

The presence of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) and other pathogens before and during an outbreak of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PWMS) in pigs is evaluated in this study. At the time of the outbreak on a large commercial pig farm in the UK, serum samples and data were collected in two independent on-going research projects, one in weaned pigs and the other in sows. Serum samples of growing pigs and sows were PCV-2-antibody and PCR positive before and during the PMWS outbreak. Upon sequencing, PCV-2 isolates collected before the outbreak were identified as PCV-2a, and isolates collected during the outbreak were identified as PCV-2b, suggesting a shift of PCV-2 genotypes present on the farm. Pigs in the weaner study were from sows originating from different breeders and an association of sow origin and PCV-2 serostatus in offspring was found. Further, pigs had higher odds to be PCV-2 antigen positive if the sow was PCV-2 antibody positive around farrowing, the sow was of higher parity, and were less likely to test antigen positive if the sow was sourced from a particular breeder. The findings of this study highlight the potential role of the immune status of the sow on the occurrence of PMWS.  相似文献   

Multiple disturbance patterns and population structure of a tropical tree species,Afzelia africana (Leguminosae–Caesalpinioideae), in two contrasting bioclimatic zones of the Republic of Benin

Understanding how multiple disturbances affect species population structure is crucial for designing a better conservation strategy of threatened species. In this paper, we assessed the disturbance patterns and evaluated their effects on the population structure of Afzelia africana, in two different bioclimatic zones of the Republic of Benin. The main disturbances in the studied area included branch pruning and debarking. Individuals of medium size (20–40 cm) were mostly pruned and debarked. The percentages of pruning and debarking were similar at population level across the two studied bioclimatic zones (t = ?0.04, p = 0.96; t = 0.73, p = 0.48). Examining this at individual level, pruning was similar but debarking was higher in the Sudanian zone (12.14 ± 0.93%) than in the Sudano-Guinean zone (7.44 ± 0.88) (W = 40859, p < 0.001). Population structure was bell-shaped in the Sudanian zone regardless of the disturbance level. In contrast, in the Sudano-Guinean zone, mildly disturbed populations showed an inverse J-shaped structure, whereas those highly disturbed were bell-shaped. This underlined the climatic (dryness) and disturbance effects on the establishment and recruitment of small trees into the next life stage in tropical savanna ecosystems. Good regeneration pattern and the largest individuals were found within the protected areas, demonstrating the prominent role of protected areas for the species conservation. Therefore, we suggested that conservation efforts should be extended to populations outside the protected areas. Forestry department should establish firebreaks networks to protect small individuals and facilitate their recruitment, as well as the regulation and enforcement should be improved on the sustainable use of the species.  相似文献

Porcine atrophic rhinitis: snout radiography as an aid to diagnosis and detection of the disease.     

J T Done 《The Veterinary record》1976,98(2):23-28

Snout radiography is a useful and practicable aid to the diagnosis of atrophic rhinitis. It is also a fairly reliable means of detecting and measuring turbinate atrophy and distortion of the septum nasi in the live pig. Suitable physical and pharmacological methods of restraining pigs for snout radiography are described and guide lines for producing satisfactory, standard snout radiographs are given. Parameters and criteria are recommended for qualitative and quantitative methods of interpreting snout radiographs. The quantitative scoring system approximates the macroscopic post mortem snout scoring system generally employed in Britain and provides data which might be used in genetic or other control programmes. Radiographic standards are tentatively suggested for certifying pigs free from gross lesions of atrophic rhinitis for sale or export purposes.  相似文献   

Maedi-visna and sheep pulmonary adenomatosis: a study of concurrent infection   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

M Dawson  S H Done  C Venables  C E Jenkins 《The British veterinary journal》1990,146(6):531-538

The transmission of maedi-visna (MV) virus was studied within two groups of sheep, one of which was also affected with sheep pulmonary adenomatosis (SPA). Serological monitoring of sheep kept in contact with both groups indicated that MV virus replication occurred to a greater extent in the group with both diseases, three of five in-contact sheep being seropositive after 1 year's exposure compared with none of six held with MV-virus-only infected lambs.  相似文献   

猪粪好氧堆肥对缺锌土壤种植大豆的影响研究

以Zn含量较高的猪粪为原料进行了90d好氧堆肥,以采自陕西省永寿县养马庄的典型缺锌土壤为供试土样,通过大豆盆栽试验研究了该有机肥对大豆生长的影响,并以污染指数评价法和地积累指数评价了施用该有机肥对土壤中重金属的累积环境风险。结果表明：经过90d的高温好氧堆制,获得了氮磷钾丰富的堆肥产品,且堆肥中未检测出Ni、Cd、Cr、Pb、Hg和As等有害重金属,仅含Cu256.3mg.kg-1、Zn474.4mg.kg-1。与对照相比,随着有机肥施用量的增加,大豆生物量和产量逐渐增加,并在肥土比10%时达到最高,大豆产量比对照提高了206.7%,大豆根系重量提高了94.2%,大豆茎叶（含荚壳）提高了94.0%;大豆籽粒中Zn含量则随着有机肥施用量的增加而逐渐增加,并在40%时籽粒Zn含量高达49.33mg.kg-1;施用堆肥后,土壤EC、Zn和Cu全量、Zn和Cu有效量均随着堆肥使用量的增加而增加,而土壤pH则随着堆肥比例的增加,从8.46逐渐降低到7.44。污染指数评价法和地积累指数评价法表明,当茬堆肥施用量不超过5%时,不会对该缺锌土壤造成重金属污染。研究显示,适量施用该堆肥能显著促进大豆的茎叶和根系生长,同时提高籽粒产量和籽粒中的Zn含量。对于供试缺锌土壤,施用该富锌有机肥可以明显补充土壤锌。  相似文献
