    [Objective] This paper aimed to provide references for pet dog kidney and urinary track diseases' x-ray radiography diagnosis. [Method] Experimental dogs were gave two kinds of hypotonic medicines (Vitamin K3 and anisodamine) in advance, non-compression hypotonic (IVP) was done and radiography effects of this two hypotonic medicines were compared later in order to finally discuss clinical practical application value of canine (IVP) using hypotonic medicines. [Result] 3.5 mg/kg.bw anisodamine dosage was injected before radiography, 10 minutes after radiography was the best time to take photo, and the development of experimental dog's bilateral renal contour, renal pelvis and front segment of ureter was basically clear. While regarding radiography by 1.6 mg/kg.bw vitamin K3, the best photo was got 10 minutes later after radiography, and the development of experimental dog's bilateral renal contour, renal pelvis and front segment of ureter was clear. [Conclusion] Vitamin K3, as a kind of hypotonic medicine used in pet clinical (IVP), had characteristics of safety, low dosage and better practical radiography effect, was obviously better than anisodamine, and could be properly promoted in pet clinical (IVP).

    WANG Xue-li;BU Ri-e;YANG Ming-xia;XUE Jiang-dong;

    [Objective] In order to clone and express the formyltransferase of Brucella abortus in E.coli, purify the expressed protein and detect its immunogenicity. [Methods] A gene recoding formyltransferase 27-35 ku (Wbkc) was amplified from the genomic DNA of Brucella abortus PCR. The amplified fragments were digested with BamH I and Sal I, and then cloned to the vector pET28a. The constructed recombinant plasmid pET28a-Wbkc was transformed to E.coli BL21 and was induced to express the fusion protein. Then the protein was purified by histidine-binding resin column chromatography, and the immunogenicity was detected by Western blot. The PCR product of Wbkc gene was cloned to the vector pET28a, and the recombinant vector was confirmed by colony PCR identification, recombinant vector digested identification and sequencing analysis. [Results] It was successfully expressed in E.coli BL21 as a fusion protein with histidine at the presence of IPTG, and a specific protein band of 29 ku was found when identified by SDS-PAGE. Western blot showed good immunoreactivity of the expressed product. Wbkc was successfully cloned and expressed, and the purified fusion protein had immunogenicity. This study provides a solid foundation for the further study on the function of proteins and brucellosis diagnostic antigens. [Conclusion] Amplification of formyltransferase gene of Brucella abortus and prokaryotic expression of WbkC, indicating the formyltransferase has specific immune reactivity.

  • Effects of Diet Categories on Feces/Urine Features of Dairy Cows and Nitrogen Emission

    NA Ren-hua;DONG Hong-min;

    [Objective]Through study of different diet categories' effects on lactating cows' feces/urine features and nitrogen emission, and in order to reduce and control the nitrogen emission.[Method]12 China Holsteins each with the weight of 514 kg and at the age of 3 to 5 years old are selected for this experiment to carry out test and research on their feces/urine features and nitrogen emission. The cows are divided into 3 groups which are fed with Diet A which takes dry corn straw as forage with forage to concentrate ratio of 40∶ 60, Diet B and Diet C (both take corn silage as forage) with forage to concentrate ratio of 40∶ 60 and 60∶ 40 respectively. [Result]The results show that diet categories have certain effects on dairy cows' output of feces and urine. Feces output of Diet A (straw type) is more than that of Diet B (silage type with low forage to concentrate ratio) which is more than that of Diet C (silage type with high forage to concentrate ratio). Feces output of Diet A group exceeds that of Diet B and Diet C groups by 6.10% and 10.08% respectively. Feces output of Diet B exceeds that of Diet C by 3.75%. The difference is insignificant(P﹥0.05). In terms of urine output of these three diet groups, Diet C is more than that of Diet B which is more than that of Diet A. Urine output of Diet C exceeds that of Diet B and Diet A by 22.75% and 56.30% respectively. Urine output of Diet B exceeds that of Diet A by 27.33%. The difference is significant(P﹤0.05). At the same time, diet categories have significant effects on dairy cow's nitrogen balance. Straw-typed diet's milk nitrogen and urinary nitrogen contents as well as nitrogen digestibility are far lower than those of silage-typed diet (P﹤0.01). Under conditions of taking corn silage as forage, as diet's concentrate refines, nitrogen digestibility and urinary nitrogen both increase remarkably (P﹤0.01) while fecal nitrogen and milk nitrogen's increase is not obvious (P﹥0.05). [Conclusion]Moreover, it shows that Straw-typed diet's absorbed nitrogen is mainly discharged through feces. When corn silage is taken as forage, as diet's concentrate refines, proportion of fecal nitrogen reduces while that of urinary nitrogen increases, and fecal nitrogen and urinary nitrogen's proportions in total feces/urine nitrogen are basically the same.

    TANG Jian-yang;ZHENG Xue-fang;LIU Bo;LAN Jiang-lin;LU Shu-xian;HU Gui-ping;

    [Objective] This experiment aimed to compare piglets behavior under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode and traditional rearing mode. [Method] Pig behavior's statistical analysis under both microbial fermentation bed pig breeding mode and traditional rearing mode was selected to study the effect of different breeding environment on pig's growth [Result]The results showed that the duration of piglets lying and sleeping behavior accounted for the highest proportion of tested behavior, up to more than 70%,followed by feeding and drinking which reached 15.96% (under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode) and 9.33% (under traditional rearing mode) respectively. Compared with traditional intensive rearing mode, piglet exploratory behavior's occurrence probability and duration increased significantly, by 28.62% and 12.21% respectively. Fighting behavior's occurrence probability and duration decreased significantly, by 49.83% and 91.26% respectively. Nutrient index and health index were introduced to evaluate piglet's general heath condition under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode, and results indicated that the health index of piglets under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode had slight difference from that under traditional mode, namely 10.83 and 10.03 respectively. But health index of piglets under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode was 245.12, much higher than 21.96 under traditional mode. [Conclusion] Piglets would be healthier under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode.

  • Response of Grassland Vegetation to Air Temperature and Precipitation in Minqin Desert Region

    CHANG Zhao-feng;HAN Fu-gui;ZHONG Sheng-nian;WANG Da-wei;

    [Objective] This paper aims to analyze response characteristics of desert grassland vegetation to climate change. [Method] The responses of grassland vegetation in desert region to air temperature/precipitation changes were analyzed by phenological observations since 1974, observation data concerning vegetation samples and meteorological data during the same period. The changing trend significance was denoted by linear trend line and its regression significance. The interrelation between the two variables was indicated by correlation coefficients. Data were analyzed by the software SPSS 13.0. [Result] (1) The rising rate of annual average temperature in the Minqin desert area since 1961 was greater than both the global level and China's level over the past century. (2) Desert plants' response to temperature changes were mainly displayed as the advance of spring phenology, the delay of autumn phenology and the extension of growing duration. Plants' main response to precipitation changes was that vegetation coverage and pure coverage were decreasing along with precipitation reducing. (3) Both the vegetation coverage and pure coverage mainly had a positive correlation with the annual precipitation. Plant density mostly had a positive correlation with the precipitation in September. (4) The impact of rising temperature on plant phenology in spring was greater than that in autumn. [Conclusion] The effects of temperature changes on desert grassland plants were the advance of spring phenology, the delay of autumn phenology, the extension of growing season and longer plant growing period than that in other reports. The responses of desert grassland vegetation to precipitation changes were that both vegetation coverage and pure coverage were decreasing along with precipitation reducing, and plant density fluctuated along with precipitation change.
