The Effect of Season on Spermatozoa Motility,Plasma Membrane and Acrosome Integrity in Fresh and Frozen–Thawed Semen from Xinong Saanen Bucks          下载免费PDF全文

W Wang  J Luo  S Sun  L Xi  Q Gao  AB Haile  H Shi  W Zhang  H Shi 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2015,50(1):23-28

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the season of ejaculate collection influences seminal quality parameters of pre‐ and post‐freeze–thawing in Xinong Saanen bucks. Ejaculates were collected from eight bucks throughout the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter) in a 12 months’ time period, identified in the Northern Hemisphere. Semen samples were evaluated by the combinations of conventional and Computer‐Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) when fresh and after frozen–thawed, respectively. The results clearly demonstrated that season of ejaculate collection influenced (p < 0.05) fresh semen quality. Highest semen quality was observed during autumn. On the contrary, undesirable indices (significantly lower, p < 0.05) were observed in winter as compared with the other remaining seasons. CASA has clearly shown the influences of seasonal variations on semen motility parameters. Furthermore, season of ejaculate collection was also found to influence sperm freezability. Semen characteristics after frozen–thawed followed a similar pattern with that of fresh ejaculate except in spring. The results revealed that sperm quality was higher (p < 0.01) in summer and autumn than in spring and winter. In conclusion, seasonal variation influences semen quality in Xinong Saanen bucks. In addition to summer and autumn, fresh ejaculates in spring can also be successfully used for AI. Sperm from ejaculates collected during summer and autumn are more suitable for cryopreservation. Hence, it is possible to increase the efficiency of goat breeding by manipulating the seasonal variations of semen quality for immediate AI and/or cryopreservation.  相似文献   

自然养蜂管理与蜂产品质量管理的探讨Ⅰ 现代养蜂存在的问题与如何自然养蜂     

山口喜久二 《云南农业大学学报(自然科学版)》2004,19(3):322-329

 近几年,欧洲各国的养蜂中发现有残留抗生素的问题,提出了世界养蜂行业必须要解决的诸多课题。笔者通过多年的养蜂实践,提出了关于现代养蜂的问题:不适宜的环境下养蜂,对蜜蜂过多采蜜,人工近亲交配导致蜂群种性和抗病性降低,不正确的采蜜时间、方法、措施,使蜂产品的品质降低。为了解决上述问题,提出按蜜蜂的生态、自然养蜂,比如确保蜜源丰富,有大量和无污染的水源和蜜源的养蜂环境,由蜂群的轮流休息来强化蜂群,在无药剂污染的地区养蜂,开发附加值高的蜂产品生产,加强质量管理等措施。  相似文献   

自然养蜂管理与蜂产品质量管理的探讨Ⅱ 蜂产品的品质管理与附加价值     

山口喜久二 《云南农业大学学报(自然科学版)》2004,19(4):440-447

 在前文已指出了现代养蜂业存在的问题。一方面,蜂群生产负担过重,造成蜂产品的质量下降。为了解决这个问题,提出根据蜜蜂本身具备的生物学能力,必须恢复自然养蜂的想法。另一方面,养蜂是一种产业,因此,做好生产附加价值比较高的蜂产品是很重要的。因此本文介绍关于提高蜂王浆所具有的抗酸化作用,应用蜂王浆抗菌物质的转基因代替生产,以及作者最新的基础研究成果,提出了自然养蜂与近代科学技术的关系,以及养蜂学和养蜂产业的展望。  相似文献   

牛子宫复旧过程中胶原蛋白和肌浆球蛋白降解规律的研究     

田文儒 Noak.  DE 《黑龙江畜牧兽医》1991,(6):10-12

本实验监测8头围产期奶牛外周血浆中胶原蛋白和肌浆球蛋白的代谢产物——羟基脯氨酸(HP)和3甲基组氨酸(3MH)的含量,借以找出这两种蛋白质的代谢规律和子宫复旧的关系。结果表明:荷兰黑白花牛和娟珊牛血浆中HP的含量和子宫角直径分别呈显著及极显著正相关(r=0.41,P<0.05和r=0.57 P<0.01),而3MH分别呈极显著和显著正相关(r=0.52 P<0.01和r=0.39(P<0.05)。此外,黑白花牛血浆中3MH的含量极显著高于娟珊牛(P<0.001)。两个品种牛子宫复旧的平均时间,黑白花牛为37.4±3.1天,娟珊牛32.3±2.1天。结果说明牛产后子宫体积的缩小与子宫肌肉的胶原蛋白和肌浆球蛋白降解成氨基酸排出体外有关,子宫复旧的速度可能决定于这两种蛋白质的降解速度。  相似文献   

RADIOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN TESTES OF BULLS INFECTED WITH BESNOITIOSIS   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Uri  Bargai  VMD AB  DVSc  Theodor  Nobel  DVM†  Shmuel  Pearl  DVM† 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1984,25(5):235-239

Ten beef bulls infected with Besnoitiosis were examined radiographically and pathologically. Eight of these were slaughtered soon after diagnosis; two were left for a six-month observation period. The radiographic findings were focal and branching-tree calcification of the testes. Histopathologic examination proved these calcifications to be necrotic sections of the seminiferous tubules. Radiography of the testes as a means of evaluating the fertility status of the infected bull is recommended.  相似文献   

Molecular basis of globoid cell leukodystrophy in Irish setters     

McGraw RA  Carmichael KP 《Veterinary journal (London, England : 1997)》2006,171(2):370-372

Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD), or Krabbe's disease, is a progressive autosomal recessive disorder of the central nervous system in man and in various other species. GLD has been shown to result from various mutations in the gene encoding galactocerebrosidase (GALC), a lysosomal enzyme. We investigated the molecular basis of GLD in a related group of Irish setters. Sequencing of the GALC cDNA from an affected individual revealed an insertion mutation of 78 base pairs (bp) consisting of 16 bp of insertion site duplication and 62 bp of sequence derived from the U4 small nuclear RNA. We implemented a PCR-based test which is useful for identifying carriers of the mutation.  相似文献   

The Relationship Between Post‐Thaw Sperm DNA Integrity and Non‐Return Rate Among Norwegian Cross‐Bred Rams     

AB Nordstoga  A Krogens  A Ndtvedt  W Farstad  K Waterhouse 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2013,48(2):207-212

With the aim of investigating the relationship between sperm DNA integrity and non‐return rate (NRR) among Norwegian cross‐bred rams, semen from 15 individuals was examined by flow cytometry. Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay (SCSA) quantifies the proportion of spermatozoa with denatured DNA after in situ acid treatment, and the four parameters % DFI, % HDS, MEAN DFI and SD DFI are all different measures of DNA denaturation and maturation. Field fertility, reported as NRR 25 days after insemination was based on all inseminations from a large‐scale breeding programme and supplied by the Norwegian Association of Sheep and Goat Farmers. From each ram, four straws from four different weeks of the breeding season were analysed, and the associations between 25‐day NRR and the mean of the four SCSA parameters were tested using a logistic regression model. The results revealed no association between fertility and % DFI or % HDS, while SD DFI and MEAN DFI showed a significant negative association with NRR. Further, the SCSA values varied significantly between ejaculates within ram among some of the rams in the study. However, no significant association was seen between these intra‐individual differences in sperm DNA integrity and NRR. In conclusion, this study suggests an association between sperm DNA integrity and NRR for rams. However, further research must be conducted to confirm these findings and determine whether sperm DNA assessments can be applied to predict ram fertility.  相似文献
