Summary The potential for increased productivity of N'Dama cattle in response to small supplementary inputs of proteinaceous by-products
has been shown to be substantial under village husbandry conditions in The Gambia. Young N'Dama bulls were used to compare
sesame cake with cottonseed as sources of supplementary protein during the wet and early dry seasons of 1987. They were fed
0, 40, 80 or 160 g crude protein/day in these forms for four months. Supplementation significantly increased growth rate from
169 g/d in controls to means of 272 and 271 g/d for those given sesame cake and cottonseed respectively; there were no significant
differences among the supplemented groups.
During the four months of the dry season immediately after supplementation ceased all previously supplemented groups grew
significantly more rapidly than the controls (at leastP<0·05), indicating a substantial carry over effect of the supplements. Over this period the mean gain of the groups previously
given sesame cake exceeded that of those that had received cottonseed (217 cf. 158 g/d;P<0·01). The economic benefits of these responses were substantial.
Comparacion de torta de sesamo y de semilla de algodon como fuente suplementaria de proteina para terneros destetos N'Dama en Gambia
Resumen Se ha demonstrado el potencial para incrementar la productividad del ganado N'Dama, como resquesta a peque?as cantidades de insumos suplementarios de proteína, bajo condiciones de villorrio en Gambia. Se utilizaron terneros destetos N'Dama par comparar la torta de sésamo y de semilla de algodón como fuente de proteína suplementaria durate la estaicón lluviosa y principio de la seca del a?o 1987. Se les dió a los animales 0, 40, 80 o 160 g de proteína cruda/día en éstas formas durante cuatro meses. La suplementación incrementó significativamente la tasa de crecimiento, de 169 g/día en controles a 272 y 271 g/día en aquellos que recibieron torta de sésamo y de algodón respectivamente; no hubo diferenca estadística entre los grupos suplementados. Durate los cuatro meses de la estación seca inmediatamente después de que la suplementación fue suspendida, todos los grupos que habían sido suplementados crecieron sgnificativamente más rápido que los controls (P<0·05), indicando un efecto compensatorio en los suplementados. Durante ese período la media de crecimento de los grupos que recibieron torta de sésamo excedió a aquella de los que habían recibido torta de algodón (217 cf. 158 g/d;P<0·01). Los beneficios económicos de estos resultados fueron substanciales.
Comparaison entre le tourteau de sesame et la graine de coton comme sources complementaires de proteines pour les taurillons N'Dama sevres en Gambie
Résumé Le potentiel de réponse à de petites quantités supplémentaires de sous-produits proteiniques pour accroitre la productivité de bétail N'Dama, s'est révélé manifeste, dans les conditions d'élevage villageois en Gambie. De jeunes taureaux N'Dama ont été utilisés pour comparer le tourteau de sésame et la graine de coton en tant que source de complémentation protéinique pendant la saison sèche et le début de la saison humide au cours de l'année 1987. Ils ont re?u respectivement 0, 40, 80 ou 160 g de proteines brutes par jour sus ces deux formes pendat quatre mois. Cette supplémentation a accru de fa?on significative le taux de croissance, de 169 g/jour pour les témoins jusqu'à des moyennes de 272 et 271g/jour respectivement pour ceux qui ont re?u du tourteau de sésame et de la graine de coton. Quant aux groupes complémentés, il n'ont révélé aucune différence significative. Pendat les quatre mois de la saison sèche et immédiatement après l'arrêt de la supplémentation, tous les lots ayant fait précédemment l'objet d'une distribution complémentaire ont eu une croissance significativement plus rapide que les animaux témoins, du moins pourP<0,05, ce qui indique un effet important de report des suppléments. Durant cette période, le gain moyen des lots qui ont re?u le tourteau de sésame a dépassé celui des lots auxquels on a donné de la graine de coton, soit 217 g/jour contre 158 g/jour pourP<0,01. Les profits économiques de ces réponses ont été appréciables.相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproductive performance of three parities of gilts treated or not treated with gonadotropin to induce puberty. Sixty gilts received 600 IU of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) followed by 2.5 mg of porcine luteinizing hormone (LH) 72 h later. Fifty‐nine other gilts were exposed only to a mature boar for 15 min twice daily. Artificial insemination (AI) was performed at 0, 12 and 24 h after the detection of oestrus, and gestation was confirmed by ultrasound after 35 days. Sows were inseminated at the first post‐weaning oestrus. The total numbers of piglets born, piglets born alive, stillborn, mummified foetuses, as well as pregnancy and farrowing rates were evaluated for each of the three parities. Culling rates, farrowing intervals and weaning‐to‐oestrous intervals (WEI) were also analysed. Mean age at puberty and oestrous manifestation were not significantly different between treatments (p = 0.0639; 179.20 ± 17.52 compared with 173.96 ± 16.94, 91.66% compared with 94.92%) across the experimental period. However, females that underwent puberty induction showed modest increases both in the number of total pigs born and in the number of piglets born alive. In conclusion, puberty induction through exogenous gonadotropin administration in field conditions did not induce a more concentrated first oestrous manifestation, but trended to a modest increase in the number of pigs born alive in the first parity and a reduced culling rate during the first gestation. 相似文献

Factors thought to influence monthly body weight and average daily gain of 122 first and second generation Canadian Holstein calves aged six to 24 months were studied. All factors (generation, sex, parity, season, age and year) studied accounted for 55.9 to 71.2% and 35.6 to 69.1% of the variation in body weight and average daily gain respectively. Parity, year and generation were the most important factors influencing all traits and accounted for 34.4 to 64.3% and 22.9 to 66.8% of the variation in body weight and average daily gain. Least squares means were, for body weight 144.2, 222.6, 330.5 and 377.9 kg at six, 12, 18 and 24 months and for average daily gain 0.42, 0.37, 0.50 and 0.39 kg at six to nine, nine to 12, 12 to 18 and 18 to 24 month intervals. It was concluded that offspring of Canadian Holsteins in this environment under adequate management and nutrition will be of adequate size for heifers to calve under 30 months of age and steers to reach 400 kg slaughter weight in 24 months. 相似文献

Reports on the nutritional composition of cowpea leaves have been limited to a small number of lines and the palatability characteristics of leaves apparently have not been studied. This study was therefore undertaken on cowpea leaves to determine the nutrient composition of fifteen varieties and the sensory attributes of ten varieties grown in Ghana. Nutritional components studied were moisture, protein, phosphorus and ascorbic acid. The sensory attributes included leaf size, taste and overall acceptability. There were significant (p > 0.05) differences among varieties in all nutrient components (fresh and dry weight basis), leaf size and overall acceptability. The nutrient composition values, on a dry weight basis, ranged from 9.4 to 13.0% for moisture, 303.8 to 468.9 mg/100 g for phosphorus, 33.5 to 148.0 mg/100 g for ascorbic acid, and 27.1 to 34.7% for protein. Differences in the sensory scores of leaves for taste were not significant (p < 0.05). Overall acceptability positively correlated with leaf size. Moisture content was negatively correlated with overall acceptability, phosphorus and ascorbic acid. Results can be exploited in a breeding program to develop nutritionally superior and acceptable cowpea varieties which can be used for harvesting of both leaves and seeds. 相似文献

Objective – To compare the placement feasibility and amount of bone trauma induced by 3 intraosseous (IO) access techniques in cats: an automatic impact penetration device (A), an automatic rotary insertion device (B), and a manual IO needle (C). Design – Prospective ex vivo study. Setting – University. Animals – Eighteen adult mixed breed feline cadavers. Interventions – Cadavers provided 72 total IO insertion locations divided equally between the right and left humerus and tibia. The 3 IO techniques were randomly allocated to these locations. Time to successful insertion, ease of insertion, and success rate were recorded. Each insertion site was analyzed for the number of bone fragments and defect diameter by computed tomography. Measurements and Main Results – Device B had lower time of insertion (P=0.01) compared with devices A and C. Device B had better ease of insertion scores (P<0.01) compared with devices A and C. No differences were detected between insertion sites (tibia versus humerus). No differences in the number of bone fragments, defect diameter, or success rate were detected among devices (P=0.06, 0.31, and 0.14, respectively). Conclusions – All 3 IO access methods evaluated yield acceptable results. Device B is significantly faster and easier to place in cat cadavers when compared with other methods. 相似文献

Summary One hundred and three calving records of 35 Canadian Holstein-Friesian cattle introduced in 1974 into Ashanti constituted the data for this study. Age, year, lactation number, season and age × season effects on 305-day yield, lactation length and components of the lactation curve were estimated from 84 complete lactation records.Analysis of variance by General Linear Models Procedure showed significant effect of age and year on all traits studied. Age, year, lactation number, season, concentrate fed and season × age accounted for 61.1, 64.6, 66.9, 68.5 and 38.1% of the variation in 305-day yield, 300-day yield, monthly peak yield, persistency index and lactation length respectively. Age and year significantly affected all traits except lactation length. Lactation number only significantly affected 305-day yield of the traits studied. Season was not an important factor affecting any of the traits. The productive life span of the animals was up to five calvings (eight years). The mean life time milk production was 16,186 kg. Unadjusted means of the 103 records were: 305-day yield 3,878 ± 93.7 kg; actual 305-yield 4,451 ± 102.7 kg; total yield 4,225 ± 160.6 kg; lactation length 332 ± 14.5 days; days dry 96 ± 5.9 and total yield per day of calving interval 10.6 ± 0.33 kg. Performance of Holsteins in Ashanti was better than in most tropical areas.
Productividad Del Ganado Holstein-Friesian Canadiense En La Zona Boscosa Humeda De Gana. I. Produccion De Leche
Resumen Los datos para este estudio, salieron de 103 registros de pariciones pertenecientes a 35 Holstein-Friesian Canadienses, introducidas a Ashanti en 1974. Se estimaron la edad, año, número de lactancias, estación y edad × effectos estacionales 305 días de producción, duración de la lactancia y componentes de la curva de lactancia, con base en 84 registros completos de lactancia.El análisis de varianza, efectuado por el procedimiento de Modelos Generales Lineares, mostró efectos significativos de edad y años sobre todos los rasgos estudiados. La edad, año, número de lactancias, estación, alimento concentrado y estación × edad, influyeron en 61.1, 64.6, 66.9, 68.5 y 38.1% de la variación en 305 días de producción, 300 días de producción, pico mensual de producción, índice persistente y duración de la lactancia, respectivamente. La edad y el año afectaron significativamente todos los rasgos, excepto la duración de la lactancia. El número de lactancias solo afectó significativamente la producción de 305 días, de todos los rasgos estudiados. La estación tampoco fué factor importante para los rasgos. La vida productiva de los animales estuvo por encima de las 5 pariciones (8 años). La media de producción de leche durante la vida productiva, fué de 16.186 kg. Las medias sin ajustar de los 103 registros fueron; producción de 305 días 3.878±93.7 kg; producción actual de 305 dias 4.451±102.7 kg; producción total 4.225±160.6 kg; duración de la lactancia 332±14.5 días; días secas 96±5.9 y producción total por día de intervalo de parto 10.6±0.33 kg. La productividad de las Holstein en Ashanti, fué superior a la de la mayoría de áreas tropicales.
Performances De Bovins Canadiens Holstein-Frisons En Zone Forestiere Humide Au Ghana. I. Production Laitiere
Résumé 103 relevés de vêlage de 35 bovins canadiens Holstein-Frisons importés en 1974 à Ashanti ont fourni les données de cete étude. L'âge, l'année, le nombre de lactations, la saison, les effets conjugués de l'âge et de la saison sur une production de 305 jours, la durée de la lactation et les composantes de la courbe de lactation ont été évalués à partir de 84 relevés de lactation complète.L'analyse de variance par le modèle linéaire général a montré que l'âge et l'année avaient un effet significatif sur tous les paramètres étudiés. L'âge, l'année, le nombre de lactations, la saison, le concentré donné et l'effet saison/âge étaient responsables de 61,1; 66,9; 68,5 et 38,1 p.100 de la variation pour respectivement une production de 305 jours, une production de 300 jours, les pointes de production mensuelle, l'index de persistance et la durée de lactation. L'âge et l'année avaient un effet significatif sur toutes les performances sauf la durée de lactation. Le nombre de lactations n'avait un effet significatif que sur la production de 305 jours des traits zootechniques étudiés. La durée de vie productive des animaux allait jusqu'au cinquième vêlage (8 ans). La production laitière moyenne sur un temps de vie a été évaluée à 16 186 kg. Les moyennes non-ajustées des 103 relevés ont été les suivantes: production de 305 jours: 3878±93,7 kg; production de fait de 305 jours: 4451±102,7 kg; production totale: 4255±160,6 kg; durée de lactation: 332±14,5 jours; jours de tarrissement: 96±5,9 et production totale journalière pendant l'interval entre vêlages: 10,6±0,33 kg. Les performances des Holstein à Ashanti ont été meilleures que dans la plupart des régions tropicales.相似文献

SUMMARY The passive blomechanical property of oesophageal compliance (OC) was measured in 8 naturally occurring cases of canine megaoesophagus, 8 matched control and 7 vagotomised control dogs. Of the 8 dogs with megaoesophagus, 6 had congenital Idiopathic megaoesophagus and 2 had secondary megaoesophagus attributable to generalised skeletal muscle disease. Stepwise distension of the whole oesophagus was employed for measurement of OC at the 4.0 and 8.0 mL/kg Injected volume steps within the control volume range (0 to 12.0 mL/kg). At both Injected volume steps OC was higher In megaoesophagus dogs than in either matched control or vagotomised control dogs (P / 0.01 In both cases), and no significant difference was observed In OC between matched control and vagotomised control dogs. No correlation was demonstrated between OC and the estimated duration of clinical signs of dogs with megaoesophagus. These findings suggest that In most cases of canine megaoesophagus the viscoelastic properties of the oesophageal wall are significantly altered, that In such cases the disorder is unlikely to be purely dynamic and that processes other than the duration of oesophageal dilatation are responsible for the alteration in oesophageal wall blomechanical properties. The relevance of these findings to current concepts on pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the evolution and resolution of various forms of canine megaoesophagus Is discussed. 相似文献
