This paper reports results of a study conducted to investigate the concentrations of seven mineral elements in yak blood, forage and water resources around the Qinghai Lake in Qinghai Province in different seasons. Meanwhile, the nutritional compositions of the forage were also surveyed. The results suggest that the mineral elements and the forage nutrients change in a seasonal pattern. In yak blood,the sodium(Na)concentration varies from 0.291 to 0.034 mg/mL,and this is lower than the normal value. In the forage,the ratio calcium(Ca)to phosphorus(P)is 4.06～7.47:1 and potassium(K)to Na 30～27:1. These results indicate that the nutrition of the yak in the area is deficient in Na but high in K. For the withered forage sampled in February,the protein content is only 31.14% of the total protein in the forage growing at puerile stage in June. The severe loss of protein by 68. 9% and decrease of effective nutrients in the wintered forage are considered to be the reasons resulting in the poor condition of yak in winter and spring seasons.  相似文献

Feed intake and diet composition appear to affect the body temperature of pigs. Two trials were conducted to analyse the effect of feed intake level and dietary protein content on the intestinal temperature (IT) of pigs housed under thermo neutral conditions. Ten pigs (64.1 ± 1.3 kg initial body weight) fitted with an ileal cannula were used. A thermometer set to register the IT at 5‐min intervals was implanted into the ileum through the cannula. In both trials, the ambient temperature ranged from 19.1 to 21.6°C and the pigs were fed at 07:00 and 19:00 hr (same amount each time). In trial 1, the pigs were fed daily 1.2 or 1.8 kg of a wheat–soybean meal diet. The IT followed a similar pattern along a 24‐hr period regardless the feed intake level. The IT rapidly increased up to 0.61 and 0.74°C after the morning meal and up to 0.53 and 0.47°C after the evening meal in pigs fed 1.2 and 1.8 kg/d respectively. The postprandial IT was higher in pigs fed 1.8 kg after each meal (p < .05). In trial 2, pigs were fed daily 1.8 kg of a low (11%) or a high (22%) crude protein diet. The IT followed a similar pattern along the 24‐hr period regardless the dietary protein level. The postprandial IT did not differ between pigs fed the low protein or the high protein (p > .10). The IT rapidly increased up to 0.66 and 0.62°C after the morning meal in pigs fed the high‐ and low‐protein diet (p < .05), but there was no change after the evening meal (p > .10). In conclusion, the feed intake level affected the IT of pigs housed under TN conditions, but the dietary protein content had no effect.  相似文献   

Skull size and shape variation in Psammomys spp. (Rodentia,Gerbillinae) from Tunisia,with emphasis on the impact of allometric variation on species recognition

In Tunisia both Psammomys obesus and P. vexillaris are found. These taxa have been the subject of taxonomic controversy for some time, due to variability in the classical morphological characters used for taxonomic recognition. In this study we investigated skull size and shape variation in the genus Psammomys by using geometric morphometrics to evaluate the extent of intra- and interspecific shape variation and explicitly tested for the impact of allometric shape variation on species discrimination. Eleven populations of the two species from 10 localities in Tunisia were studied. Statistical analyses of size and shape showed large size variation within P. obesus, but no shape differences were revealed among populations of this species. Interspecific analysis revealed that P. vexillaris had the smallest skull. Principal component analysis and Procrustes distances showed good discrimination between the two species after removal of the allometric component of shape variation. The results obtained show that allometric-related shape variation could mask discrimination between the two Psammomys species. This finding might explain the uncertainty in classification of these species in the past. The interspecific allometric-free phenotypic differences observed may be associated with adaptive processes linked to the different environmental and trophic preferences of the two species.  相似文献   

Evaluating eddy covariance cotton ET measurements in an advective environment with large weighing lysimeters     

José Luis Chávez  Terry A. Howell  Karen S. Copeland 《Irrigation Science》2009,28(1):35-50

Eddy covariance (EC) systems are being used to assess the accuracy of remote sensing methods in mapping surface sensible and latent heat fluxes and evapotranspiration (ET) from local to regional scales, and in crop coefficient development. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the accuracy of EC systems in measuring sensible heat (H) and latent heat (LE) fluxes. For this purpose, two EC systems were installed near large monolithic weighing lysimeters, on irrigated cotton fields in the Texas High Plains, during the months of June and July 2008. Sensible and latent heat fluxes were underestimated with an average error of about 30%. Most of the errors were from nocturnal measurements. Energy balance (EB) closure was 73.2–78.0% for daytime fluxes. Thus, daylight fluxes were adjusted for lack of EB closure using the Bowen ratio/preservation of energy principle, which improved the resulting EC heat flux agreement with lysimetric values. Further adjustments to EC-based ET included nighttime ET (composite) incorporation, and the use of ‘heat flux source area’ (footprint) functions to compensate ET when the footprint expanded beyond the crop field boundary. As a result, ET values remarkably matched lysimetric ET values, with a ‘mean bias error ± root mean square error’ of −0.03 ± 0.5 mm day⁻¹ (or −0.6 ± 10.2%).  相似文献

Mycoplasma infections in farm animals: specific prevention of infectious (contagious) agalactia in the sheep and goat     

Ch Damdinsurén 《Archiv fuer experimentelle veterinaermedizin》1989,43(5):769-772

The authors of this paper have produced live vaccine to cope with infectious agalactia in goat. The vaccine (culture) was used on 360, 924 goats kept on ajmaks in Bajanchongor and Gobi-Altaj, in 1986. The number of pathologically affected goats went down by a factor of 4.5, as compared to 1985. Mortality was reduced to one third. Abortions declined by a factor of 2.6 and infertility among goats by 1.6. The conclusion is that sheep of the Mongolian breed are not susceptible to infectious agalactia. Large-scale production tests of live cultures supported hopes for successful action on this infectious disease under Mongolian conditions.  相似文献   

Die Bestimmung der Tiefgefriertauglichkeit von Bullensperma mit Hilfe des Objektträgertestes     

Von Ch. D. Koutsouris 《Reproduction in domestic animals》1973,8(2):63-71

Inhalt Es Wurde versucht, 276 Ejakulate von 50 Bullen der Rasse Deutsche. Fleckvich mit Hilfe eines einfachen Objekträgertestes ohne die im Ruutineverfahren üblichen Maβnahmen (Adaption, Einfrieren) auf ihre Gefriertauglichkeit zu testen. Dies erfolgte durch einen Vergleich der Auftauraten von verdünnten Spermaproben gleich nach dem Tiefgefrieren ohne Adaption auf Objektträgern und von solchen die nach 6–8stündigcr Adaption routinemäβig in Ampullen bzw. Pailletten eingefroren wurden. Die Untersuchungen führten zu folgenden Ergebnissen: 1. Die Auftaurate von Spermaproben, die ohne Adaption auf Objektträgern im Stickstoffdampf eingefroren wurden, lassen bis zu einem gewissen Grade eine Vorausbestimmung des Einfrierergebnisses und damit der Tiefgefriertauglichkeit eines Ejakulates zu. Bullen, deren Sperma im Objektträgertest ein Auftaurate von über 20% zeigt, werden als gefriertauglich, jene mit einer Spermienmotilität nach dem Auftauen der Objektträgerproben von unter 5% als gefrieruntauglich und solche, deren aufgetautes Sperma 5% bis 20 % motile Spermien aufweisen, als bedingt tauglich angesprochen. 2. Zur Beurteilung eines Bullen hinsichtliclz der Gefriertauglichkeit seines Spermas reicht die Testung von 3 Ejakulaten aus. 3. Der Objektträgertest ist leicht durchführbar und zeitsparend. Er ist für die Auswahl der Bullen hinsichtlich der Gefriertauglichkeit ihres Spermas für die Praxis allerdings nur bedingt einsatzfähig, da ein groβer Teil der Stiere doch noch routinemäβig nachgetestet werden muβ. Er bringt eindeutige Ergebnisse nur dann, wenn die Auftaurate höchstens 5% und deutlich mehr als 20 % beträgt. Contents (The determination of the suitability for deep freezing of bull semen using a slide test) . 276 ejaculates from 50 bulls of ther German Fleckvieh breed were studied for deep freezing suitability using a simple slide test without the routinely used mea.rures (adaptation, freezing). A comparison was made of the thawing rates of diluted semen samples immediately after deep-freezing without adaptation on slides and after 6–8 hours adaptntion in ampoules or paillettes. The following results were obtained: 1. The thawing rate of semen samples frozen without adaptation on slides in the vapour phase of nitrogen allow a certain degree of predetermination of the freezing result and therefore of the suitability of an ejaculate for deep freezing. Bulls whose semen shows a thawing rate of over 20% by the slide test are taken as being suitable for freezing; those with a sperm motility after the slide test of less than 5% are unsuitable; those with a sperm motility of 5–20% are considered as conditionally suitable. 2. 3 ejaculates are sufficient to test a bull for suitability of semen for deep-freezing. 3. The slide test is easy to carry out and saves time. However, for the selection of bulls on the basis of deep freezing of semen in practice it is limited, since a large proportion of bulls still have to be tested further. The test only gives unequivocal results if the thawing rate is less than 5% or more than 20%.  相似文献
