ABSTRACT:   An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of various organic acid (OA) supplementation on phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) retention by rainbow trout fed low fishmeal-based diets. Six experimental diets were formulated, and diet 0.5P was arranged as a positive control diet with 0.5% calcium phosphate and 0P as a negative control without additional P. Diets CA and LA were supplemented with 1% citric (CA), and lactic (LA) acids, respectively, and diets MHA and LTE were supplemented with 1% methionine hydroxy analog (MHA) and 1% liquid trace elements (LTE), respectively. Fish fed CA and LTE showed similar growth to that of the positive control diet. P retention was lowest in the 0.5P group and was elevated with CA and LTE diets. Therefore, in this study it is suggested that it might not be necessary to supplement the low fishmeal-based diet of rainbow trout with P if certain organic acids such as CA are added.  相似文献

Legumes are important components of sustainable agricultural production, food, nutrition and income systems of developing countries. In spite of their importance, legume crop production is challenged by a number of biotic (diseases and pests) and abiotic stresses (heat, frost, drought and salinity), edaphic factors (associated with soil nutrient deficits) and policy issues (where less emphasis is put on legumes compared to priority starchy staples). Significant research and development work have been done in the past decade on important grain legumes through collaborative bilateral and multilateral projects as well as the CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes (CRP‐GL). Through these initiatives, genomic resources and genomic tools such as draft genome sequence, resequencing data, large‐scale genomewide markers, dense genetic maps, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and diagnostic markers have been developed for further use in multiple genetic and breeding applications. Also, these mega‐initiatives facilitated release of a number of new varieties and also dissemination of on‐the‐shelf varieties to the farmers. More efforts are needed to enhance genetic gains by reducing the time required in cultivar development through integration of genomics‐assisted breeding approaches and rapid generation advancement.  相似文献

Molecular characterization of Blastocystis isolates from children and rhesus monkeys in Kathmandu, Nepal   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

To investigate the possible transmission of Blastocystis organisms between local rhesus monkeys and children in Kathmandu, Nepal, we compared the subtype (ST) and sequence of Blastocystis isolates from children with gastrointestinal symptoms and local rhesus monkeys. Twenty and 10 Blastocystis isolates were established from 82 and 10 fecal samples obtained from children and monkeys, respectively. Subtype analysis with seven sequence-tagged site (STS) primers indicated that the prevalence of Blastocystis sp. ST1, ST2 and ST3 was 20%, 20% and 60% in the child isolates, respectively. In contrast to human isolates, ST3 was not found in monkey isolates and the prevalence of ST1 and ST2 was 50% and 70%, respectively, including three mixed STs1 and 2 and one isolate not amplified by any STS primers, respectively. Since Blastocystis sp. ST2 has been reported as the most dominant genotype in the survey of Blastocystis infection among the various monkey species, sequence comparison of the 150 bp variable region of the small subunit rRNA (SSU rRNA) gene was conducted among ST2 isolates of humans and monkeys. Sequence alignment of 24 clones developed from ST2 isolates of 4 humans and 4 monkeys showed three distinct subgroups, defined as ST2A, ST2B and ST2C. These three subgroups were shared between the child and monkey isolates. These results suggest that the local rhesus monkeys are a possible source of Blastocystis sp. ST2 infection of humans in Kathmandu.  相似文献   

Immunogenic and antigenic properties of recombinant soluble glycoprotein of rabies virus   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Rabies virus glycoprotein is a type I transmembrane protein exposed on the surface on the mature virus particle that induces virus neutralizing antibodies. In the present study, 60 amino acid C-terminal hydrophobic anchor (transmembrane) and cytoplasmic domains of glycoprotein were deleted from full-length glycoprotein and fused with polyhistidine tag. The N-terminal viral signal peptide was also replaced with CD33 signal peptide for efficient secretion in mammalian cells. Following transfection of Madin Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells with plasmid encoding this soluble form of glycoprotein, polyclonal populations of stably transfected resistant cells were obtained after G418 selection. The protein was expressed as a glycosylated protein and secreted outside the cells utilizing N-terminal CD33 signal peptide. The secreted soluble glycoprotein was purified from cell culture supernatant by Ni--agarose affinity chromatography utilizing C-terminal polyhistidine tag. Like full-length glycoprotein, the expressed recombinant soluble glycoprotein was found to be immunogenic when injected in rabbits. In this study, we have assessed the potential of recombinant soluble glycoprotein as diagnostic antigen in ELISA and found that this recombinant protein can be used as diagnostic antigen in ELISA for detecting anti-glycoprotein antibodies in immunized host.  相似文献   

A questionnaire survey of the management and use of anthelmintics in cattle and antelope in mixed farming systems in Zimbabwe     

Madzingira O  Mukaratirwa S  Pandey VS  Dorny P 《Journal of the South African Veterinary Association》2002,73(2):70-73

A survey of the management of mixed farming of cattle and antelope and use of anthelmintics was conducted on eleven farms between August and December 1999 by a self-administered questionnaire. Seventeen antelope species ranging from grey duikers (Sylvicapra grimmia) to eland (Taurotragus oryx) occurred on the farms. Impala (Aepyceros melampus) was the most abundant antelope on the farms. Seventy-five per cent of the antelope species on the farms were grazers and mixed feeders and shared grazing with cattle. Most farmers (n = 8) did not consider the stocking density for cattle and antelope as an important management factor. Fifty-four per cent of the farmers (n = 6) routinely dewormed both cattle and antelopes. Albendazole and fenbendazole were the most commonly used drugs for deworming cattle (72.7%) and antelope species (54.5%). The deworming of antelope was carried out during the dry season, using albendazole-, fenbendazole-and rafoxanide-medicated supplementary feed blocks. Doramectin injections were given to antelopes on two farms. Cattle were dewormed preventively and according to the general body condition of the animal. Few farmers (n = 4) followed the recommended deworming programme for cattle in Zimbabwe and only one farmer followed a specified dosing programme for game. However, results from the survey on the deworming of game indicate that farmers perceived helminth infections in antelope to be important.  相似文献   

Management ofMeloidogyne incognita inArtemisia pallens with bio-organics     

Rakesh Pandey 《Phytoparasitica》2005,33(3):304-308

The sedentary endoparasitic root-knot nematode [RKN],Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood, is worldwide an economically important agri-pest, reducing the yield and quality of crops. The traditional method of RKN control is based mainly on chemical nematicides, which will not be frequently available from 2005 onwards; their use is highly objectionable due to their major contribution to ground water contamination, and dangers to the environment and to human and animal health. Consequently, new and environmentally safe tools for RKN management are urgently needed. The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate different bio-organic wastes on RKN infestation and the growth / oil yield ofArtemisia pallens Wall. The tested wastes were: 1. Distillation waste ofMentha arvensis (menthol mint); 2.Murraya koengii (meethi neem / curry leaf); 3.Cymbopogon flexuosus (lemongrass); 4.C. martinii (palmarosa); 5.C. winterianus (citronella); 6.Pelargonium graveolens (geranium); 7.Pogostemon patchouli (patchouli); 8.Tagetes minuta (marigold); 9. Vermicompost ofM. arvensis, Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium (pyrethrum),Tagetes minuta andC. winterianus; 10.Trichoderma harzianum isolate U; 11. VA fungiGlomus aggregatum; G. fasciculatum. The results obtained with these different bio-organics were compared with three controls: untreated — uninoculated, untreated — inoculated and the chemical pesticide carbofuran. Results revealed a considerable enhancement of herbage biomass, flower bud and oil yields when plants were treated with the distillation waste ofC. martinii, C. winterianus, M. koengii, M. arvensis, vermicompost ofC. cinerariaefolium, T. minuta, M. arvensis and bio-agentT. harzianum. Least nematode infections were recorded with the distillation waste ofM. koengii, C. martinii, C. flexuosus, and vermicompost ofT. minuta, C. cinerariaefolium andM. arvensis. The results revealed that these environmentally sound bio-organics could be used for replacement of chemical nematicides. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting May 20, 2005.
