本试验旨在研究妊娠后期营养限制对蒙古绵羊胎儿生物原胺类神经递质的影响。选择健康、体况相近的蒙古绵羊18只,对其进行同期发情、配种后,从妊娠第90天开始,随机分为3个组:营养限制1组[NG1组,n=6,代谢能(ME)=0.175 MJ/(kg BW 0.75·d)]、营养限制2组[NG2组,n=6,ME=0.330 MJ/(kg BW 0.75·d)]和对照组[CG组,n=6,ME=0.670 MJ/(kg BW 0.75·d)],在妊娠第140天时屠宰,取各组胎儿及其脑组织和血液。结果显示:NG1组胎儿的脑重较CG组显著增高(P<0.05),并且NG1组胎儿脑中5-羟色胺(5-HT)(P<0.01)、肾上腺素(EPI)(P<0.05)含量显著或极显著高于CG组,去甲肾上腺素(NA)的含量极显著低于CG组(P<0.01)。NG2组胎儿脑中5-HT含量极显著高于CG组(P<0.01),而NA(P<0.01)、多巴胺(DA)(P<0.05)含量显著或极显著低于CG组。另外,NG1组胎儿血浆中5-HT(P<0.01)、EPI(P<0.01)、NA(P<0.05)、DA(P<0.01)含量显著或极显著低于CG组;NG2组胎儿血浆中5-HT(P<0.01)、NA(P<0.01)、DA(P<0.05)含量显著或极显著低于CG组。由此得出,妊娠后期营养限制使得蒙古绵羊胎儿脑中5-HT、EPI含量升高和NA含量降低,血浆中5-HT、EPI、NA、DA含量降低。  相似文献

为探讨返青期休牧对退化高寒草地植被特征及优势种光合生理的影响,本研究在祁连山区选择已实施返青期休牧6年的高寒草甸开展了植被特征及优势种光合生理相关指标的调查研究。结果表明：返青期休牧6年后,高寒草甸的植被盖度、地上生物量、地下生物量和土壤含水量较未休牧区分别增加了38.44%,985.00%,209.56%和62.62%,其优势禾草垂穗披碱草（Elymus nutans）株高、叶片净光合速率、光化学量子效率、呼吸速率、叶面积、相对叶绿素含量和叶片氮含量分别提高了965.77%,139.86%,4.92%,269.37%,254.13%,197.02%和96.24%（P<0.05）,其地上地下生物量与除叶温和光化学猝灭系数外的指标显著相关,叶片净光合速率与除叶温外的指标显著相关。因此,返青期休牧可显著增强高寒草地优势禾草的光合作用和呼吸作用,促进植物生长及退化草地的恢复。本研究为推广实施返青期休牧这一措施来恢复退化高寒草地植被提供了理论基础。  相似文献   

Toll-like receptor signaling is changed in ovine lymph node during early pregnancy     

Jiaxuan Wu  Qiongao Zhang  Leying Zhang  Pengfei Feng  Meihong Gao  Zhenyang Zhao  Ling Yang 《Animal Science Journal》2021,92(1):e13541

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) participate in regulation of adaptive immune responses, and lymph nodes play key roles in the initiation of immune responses. There is a tolerance to the allogenic fetus during pregnancy, but it is unclear that expression of TLR signaling is in ovine lymph node during early pregnancy. In this study, lymph nodes were sampled from day 16 of nonpregnant ewes and days 13, 16, and 25 of pregnant ewes, and the expressions of TLR family (TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, TLR5 and TLR9), adaptor proteins, including myeloid differentiation primary-response protein 88 (MyD88), tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6), and interleukin-1-receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1), were analyzed through real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry analysis. The results showed that mRNA and protein levels of TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, TRAF6, and MyD88 were upregulated in the maternal lymph node, but TLR5, TLR9, and IRAK1 were downregulated during early pregnancy. In addition, MyD88 protein was located in the subcapsular sinus and lymph sinuses. Therefore, it is suggested that early pregnancy induces changes in TLR signaling in maternal lymph node, which may be involved in regulation of maternal immune responses in sheep.  相似文献   

AANAT基因在滩羊不同繁殖时期卵巢中的转录差异及DNA甲基化程度分析     

张辉  李晓雨  狄冉  刘玉芳  储明星 《中国畜牧兽医》2021,48(1):226-234

试验旨在检测5-羟色胺-N-乙酰基转移酶（AANAT）基因在绵羊休情季节和繁殖季节（卵泡期和黄体期）卵巢组织中的转录差异,并分析转录差异是否由DNA甲基化修饰程度改变所导致。试验采用自然环境条件和饲养管理一致,且体重差异在0.5 kg范围内的空怀母滩羊作为试验动物,采集其休情期、卵泡期和黄体期（每个时期3只）的卵巢组织,采用SYBR染料法进行实时荧光定量PCR检测AANAT基因在滩羊不同繁殖时期卵巢组织中的转录水平。随后针对转录水平有差异的两个时期（休情期和卵泡期）的样本,利用MethPrimer 2.0在线软件预测AANAT基因启动子区和第一外显子区的CpG岛;用重亚硫酸盐测序法（BSP法）检测AANAT基因启动子区及第一外显子区的甲基化程度。试验结果显示,滩羊休情期卵巢组织中AANAT基因转录水平显著低于卵泡期的AANAT基因转录水平（P<0.05）,休情期与黄体期滩羊卵巢组织中AANAT基因的转录水平差异不显著（P>0.05）。滩羊卵巢组织中AANAT基因启动子区上存在着一个长度为173 bp的CpG岛,第一外显子区存在着一个长度为118 bp的CG岛。然而,两个甲基化岛区内的单个CpG位点甲基化程度在滩羊休情期和卵泡期之间均不存在显著差异,暗示AANAT基因的表达受甲基化修饰外的因素调控。本研究结果可为进一步探讨AANAT基因在季节性发情和卵泡成熟中的功能提供参考资料。  相似文献

ObjectiveTo quantify induction time, reliability, physiological effects, recovery quality and dart volume of a novel formulation of alfaxalone (40 mg mL^?1) used in combination with medetomidine and azaperone for the capture and handling of wild bighorn sheep.Study designProspective clinical study.AnimalsA total of 23 wild bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) in Sheep River Provincial Park, AB, Canada.MethodsFree-ranging bighorn sheep were immobilized using medetomidine, azaperone and alfaxalone delivered with a remote delivery system. Arterial blood was collected for measurement of blood gases, physiologic variables (temperature, heart and respiratory rates) were recorded and induction and recovery length and quality were scored.ResultsData from 20 animals were included. Administered dose rates were alfaxalone (0.99 ± 0.20 mg kg^?1; 40 mg mL^?1), azaperone (0.2 ± 0.04 mg kg^?1; 10 mg mL^?1) and medetomidine (0.16 ± 0.03 mg kg^?1; 30 mg mL^?1). The mean drug volume injected was 1.51 mL. The median (range) induction time was 7.7 (5.8–9.7) minutes, and recovery was qualitatively smooth.Conclusions and clinical relevanceAn increased concentration formulation of alfaxalone was administered in combination with medetomidine and azaperone, and resulted in appropriate anesthesia for the capture and handling of bighorn sheep. The dart volume was small, with potential for reducing capture-related morbidity.  相似文献

Cryopreservation of ram semen: Manual versus programmable freezing and different lengths of equilibration     

Jakub Vozaf  Alexander V. Makarevich  Andrej Balazi  Jaromir Vasicek  Andrea Svoradova  Lucia Olexikova  Peter Chrenek 《Animal Science Journal》2021,92(1):e13670

The aim of our study was to examine effects of the length of semen equilibration as well as two freezing techniques on ram sperm post-thaw quality. The ejaculates of Wallachian sheep rams (n = 12) were collected by an electro-ejaculation, equilibrated in a Triladyl® (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h) containing glycerol and egg yolk and frozen by programmable freezing (PF) or manual freezing (MF). After thawing, sperm samples were subjected to the motility (computer-assisted sperm analysis [CASA]), viability (SYBR-14/PI), and fertilizing ability (FA) (in vitro penetration/fertilization test on bovine oocytes) assays. It was found that the equilibration of 6 h (E-6) ensured higher post-thaw sperm motility and progressive movement compared with other lengths tested, irrespective of a freezing technique. The E-6 sperm viability did not differ between PF and MF but was lower (P < 0.05) than control. Sperm FA (E-6) was similar in PF (60.44%) and MF (62%) but slightly lower than in fresh (72.8%). Our data demonstrate that the use of MF was comparable with PF, which can be applied in the field conditions without need in a piece of cost-expensive equipment, which can greatly benefit the gene bank of animal genetic resources.  相似文献   

绵羊BMP15基因B2突变可视化检测技术的建立     

胡瑞瑞  刘莉  郭涛  李雅心  王小奎  胡圣伟 《中国畜牧兽医》2021,48(3):810-817

骨形态发生蛋白15（bone morphogenetic protein 15,BMP15）基因突变对绵羊排卵率、产仔数以及繁殖力有很大影响,本研究旨在建立快速可视化检测BMP15基因B2突变的技术。将改良的扩增阻滞突变系统（amplification refractory mutation system,ARMS）与核酸染料SYBR Green Ⅰ结合,针对BMP15基因B2突变设计ARMS特异性引物,使引物下游3'端的最后一个碱基为A,并在下游引物3'端的第3位碱基处设计额外的错配,以提高引物的特异性;经ARMS PCR扩增后,向产物中加入SYBR Green Ⅰ,通过肉眼观察PCR管内的颜色变化来检测BMP15基因的B2突变。经测序发现所采集的样本均为野生型,因此,利用重叠延伸PCR构建BMP15基因B2突变型模板,测序结果显示BMP15基因B2突变型模板构建成功。ARMS PCR结果显示,ARMS特异性引物能够只扩增突变型模板,而不会扩增野生型模板,且扩增效果良好。ARMS PCR扩增后加入SYBR Green Ⅰ发现已知野生型模板与阴性对照一致,呈SYBR Green Ⅰ原始颜色橙黄色,而已知突变型模板呈亮绿色,且色差明显,肉眼可辨。用建立的可视化检测BMP15基因B2突变的技术检测50个小尾寒羊基因组DNA （随机向其中20个样本中加入构建的BMP15基因B2突变型模板）,将可视化检测的突变型样本编号与混合样本时记录的编号对比,结果表明该技术能够准确检测绵羊BMP15基因的B2突变,且准确率高达100%。将构建的BMP15基因B2突变型的模板进行梯度稀释,对本试验可视化检测体系的灵敏度进行检测,发现ARMS可视化检测技术的灵敏度达到0.006 ng/μL。因此,本研究建立的技术能够可视化地检测绵羊BMP15基因B2突变,且准确率高,有望为高繁殖力绵羊的选育提供技术支持。  相似文献

试验旨在通过新型莫西菌素（moxidectin,MOX）浇泼剂对羊的驱虫试验,评价MOX浇泼剂对羊蜱蝇和消化道线虫的临床药效。将150只阿勒泰羊经产母羊随机分为6组,每组25只,分别为不用药对照组、螨净药浴组、MOX注射组和MOX低（0.05 mL/（kg·BW））、中（0.1 mL/（kg·BW））和高（0.2 mL/（kg·BW））剂量浇泼组,试验期为1周。试验第1天按前述分组中方法和剂量驱虫1次。观察受试动物临床表现,测定给药前1天和给药后第7天体温、脉搏和呼吸（TPR）,血液生理、生化和尿常规指标;测定羊蜱蝇减虫率、治愈率。采取粪样测定消化道线虫每克粪中虫卵个数（EPG）减少率及转阴率。结果显示,与不用药对照组相比,给药后第7天各驱虫组TPR、血液生理、生化及尿常规指标均无显著差异（P>0.05）。螨净药浴组羊蜱蝇减虫率为43.7%,而MOX注射组及MOX低、中、高剂量浇泼组均为100%。螨净药浴组治愈率为13.0%,而MOX注射组及MOX低、中、高剂量浇泼组均为100%;与不用药对照组相比,螨净药浴组消化道线虫卵减少率为0,而MOX注射组及MOX低、中、高剂量浇泼组分别为91.6%、93.1%、94.9%和97.8%。螨净药浴组虫卵转阴率为0,而MOX注射组及MOX低、中、高剂量浇泼组分别为77.0%、69.2%、69.2%和84.6%。本试验结果表明,新型MOX浇泼剂对体外寄生虫和消化道线虫均有显著疗效,且优于螨净药浴,与MOX注射剂等效。实践应用中最适MOX浇泼剂量推荐为0.05 mL/（kg·BW）（即0.25 mg/（kg·BW））。  相似文献

试验旨在探讨哈萨克羊诱导型一氧化氮合酶（iNOS）基因多态性与布鲁氏菌病的相关性。使用虎红平板凝集试验（RBPT）方法对231只哈萨克羊血清进行布鲁氏菌病血清学检测,参考GenBank中绵羊iNOS基因序列,针对其第6、7、8外显子及其邻近内含子片段设计引物,利用PCR-SSCP技术和DNA测序技术对231只哈萨克羊的iNOS基因进行多态性检测,分析其SNPs与哈萨克羊布鲁氏菌病易感性的相关性。结果表明,67只哈萨克羊为布鲁氏菌感染阳性,阳性检出率为29.00%。在哈萨克羊iNOS基因的外显子6和8片段上未检测到多态位点,在外显子7片段上检测出F7-T18054C和F7-C18084T 2个多态位点,在F7-T18054C多态位点上检测到3种基因型（TC、TT、CC）,优势等位基因和基因型分别是C型和CT型,其等位基因频率和基因型频率分别是0.660和0.446。在F7-C18084T多态位点上检测到2种基因型（CT、CC）,优势等位基因频率和基因型分别是C和CC型,其等位基因和基因型频率分别是0.946和0.892。F7-C18084T属于低度多态（PIC<0.25）,F7-T18054C属于中度多态（0.25 < PIC < 0.5）。相关性分析表明,F7-T18054C和F7-C18084T多态位点与布鲁氏菌病易感性无显著相关性（P>0.05）。试验结果表明,哈萨克羊iNOS基因F7-T18054C和F7-C18084T多态位点与布鲁氏菌病易感性不存在相关性。  相似文献
