  • Distribution and Localization of Gonadotropin-inhibitory Hormone( GnIH ) in the Central Nervous System of Male Luchuan Piglets

    Huo Konglin;Hu Hao;Li Jianhua;Luo Bo;Wang Xiaoye;Li Xun;

    Immunohistochemistry( IHC) and semi-quantitative RT-PCR were used to detect the distribution of GnIH in the central nervous system of 30-day-old male Luchuan piglets,which laid a theoretical basis for in-depth research on physiological functions of GnIH from the perspective of morphology and molecular level. IHC results showed that in central nervous system,GnIH immunoreactive neurons distributed in cerebral cortex,cerebellum,hippocampus,olfactory bulb,pons,midbrain,medulla oblongata and spinal cord of Luchuan piglets,but GnIH-immunoreactive( GnIH-ir) cell bodies employed diversified morphologies with varying sizes. The results of semi-quantitative RT-PCR showed that the expression of GnIH mRNA in medulla oblongata was the highest,followed by midbrain,and the expression of GnIH mRNA in olfactory bulb was the lowest,while those in other tissues were medium. The results of IHC and semi-quantitative RT-PCR were coincident,which further confirmed wide distribution of GnIH in the central nervous system of male Luchuan piglets.

    To study the physiological and biochemical indexes of White-tibetan sheep in plateau environment,we measured the physiological and biochemical indexes of White-tibetan sheep at 3,6,9,12,15,18,21 and 24 months of age. The results showed that the body temperature,respiration and heart rate of White-tibetan sheep at 3- 24 months of age were( 38. 89 ± 0. 56)-( 39. 83 ± 0. 32) ℃,( 26. 00 ± 6. 67)-( 58. 64 ± 12. 67) times / min and( 83. 90 ± 7. 64)-( 111. 36 ±7. 46) times/min,respectively. The blood physiological indexes of WBC,HCT and RDW-CV at 3,6,15 and 18 months of age were lower than those at 9,12,21 and 24 months of age. On the contrary,the indexes of RBC,MCV,MCH and MCHC at 3,6,15 and 18 months of age were higher than those at 9,12,21 and 24 months of age,while HGB and PLT did not vary with months of age. For blood biochemical indexes,ALT,AST,TP,ALB,LDH and CHOL reached the maximums at 21 months of age,while ALP,PCHE and GLU reached the maximums at 3 months of age. Besides,the GLO and GA reached the maximums at 18 and 24 months of age,respectively. The physiological and biochemical indexes of White-tibetan sheep followed certain rules in growth and development process,and might be affected by plateau climate and season.

  • Construction of Live Attenuated Vaccine against Vibrio alginolyticus and the Evaluation on Its Immunoprotection Effect

    Yuan Yonghong;Pang Huanying;Zhou Zejun;Song Dawei;Ding Yu;Jian Jichang;Wu Zaohe;

    Vibrio alginolyticus,a gram-negative bacterium has been described to be one of the most common and economically important aquatic pathogens of fish and shellfish. Vaccine immunization is an effective approach preventing V. alginolyticus infection. Attenuated vaccine stimulates systemic immune response in the host,but few attenuated vaccine against V. alginolyticus is available. The type III secretion system( T3SS),an important pathogenic factor of V. alginolyticus,is used by bacterial pathogens to inject effector proteins into the cytoplasm of their host cells. The T3 SS forms a structure called needle complex with a multi-ring base that spans the bacteria and a needle-like extension that protrudes several nanometers from the bacterial surface. vscO locates at the " needle" site of T3 SS,playing the role of escorting the molecular chaperone and effector proteins into host cells and further inducing the death of host cells. In this paper,an in-frame deletion mutant of vscO was constructed using overlap PCR and homologous recombination technology combining with chloramphenicol( Cm) and sucrose screening. The LD50 changes of ZJ03ΔvscO mutant strains compared with the strain ZJ03 were examined in grouper( Epinephelus coioides). The ZJ03ΔvscO mutant showed about 150 times decrease in virulence in E. coioides compared with wide type ZJ03. After vaccination with ZJ03ΔvscO in E. coioides through injection and immersion,the specific antibody titers were markedly higher than that in the saline control group( P < 0. 05). The titers of injection and immersion group on the forth week reached the maximums at 1∶ 2 048 and 1∶ 128,respectively. The relative percentage survival( RPS) of injection group was 84%,while that in immersion group was 68%.These results indicate that the ZJ03ΔvscO of V. alginolyticus has a high immunogenicity,and can be used as live attenuated vaccine. In addition,RPS may be affected by vaccination and infection methods. This study can provide technical support for controlling fish diseases caused by V. alginolyticus.

    Wei Fengying;Zhou Junhua;He Renchun;Qin Limei;Qin Shishan;Wu Liang;Wen Xinwang;Huang Li;

    Totally 150 individuals of 1-day-old Guangxi Jinling partridges were randomly divided into five groups,30 chickens each group. Chickens in control group were fed with basal diet,while chickens in experimental groups were fed with the diet containing antibiotics,Chinese herbal medicine,probiotics and acidifier. The entire trial lasted 50 d,and growth performance and apparent nutrient digestibility of tested chickens were observed and measured. Compared with control group,the feed gain ratio in experimental groups significantly decreased( P < 0. 05),while that in probiotics group was the lowest. The average daily gain in probiotics group was significantly higher than that in control group or other experimental groups( P < 0. 05). The apparent digestibility of crude protein,crude fat and energy in probiotics group were significantly higher than that in control group or other experimental groups( P < 0. 05). The apparent digestibility of phosphorus,crude fat,crude fiber,calcium and crude protein in antibiotics group were significantly higher than that in control group( P < 0. 05). The apparent digestibility of crude protein,crude fiber and phosphorus in Chinese herbal medicine group were significantly higher than that in control group( P < 0. 05). The apparent digestibility of nutrient in acidifier group were significantly lower than that in control group or other experimental groups( P < 0. 05). Therefore,probiotics had better effects on growth performance and apparent nutrient digestibility of chickens than antibiotics,while Chinese herbal medicine and acidifier had inferior effect than antibiotics.

  • Effect of Extrusion Temperature on Free Gossypol and Nutritional Components of Cottonseed Meal

    Zhang Qiang;Wu Hongbin;Jin Xinwen;

    [Objective] The paper aimed to study effects of extrusion temperature on free gossypol and nutritional components of cottonseed meal. [Method]Different extrusion temperatures( 90,100,110,120 and 130℃) were designed,and contents of free gossypol and nutritional components in cottonseed meal were determined. [Result]The optimal temperature for extrusion of cottonseed meal was 120℃,the degradation rate of free gossypol no longer increased with the increasing temperature when the temperature exceeded 120℃. The nitrogen solvable index( NSI) in cottonseed meal reduced quickly with the increase of extrusion temperature,and the contents of crude fiber,available lysine and total lysine in cottonseed meal decreased significantly,but the contents of total amino acids and essential amino acid reached maximums at the extrusion temperature of 120℃. The content of branched-chain amino acids also reached a maximum at 120℃. [Conclusion]The extrusion temperature of 120℃ was preferred for lowering free gossypol significantly when maintaining higher nutritional value of cottonseed meal. The paper provided a certain technical basis for extrusion processing of cottonseed meal.

  • Effect of Shading on Growth and Physiological Characteristics of Alfalfa,Medicago sativa

    Shi Jing;Chen Benjian;Lan Xi;Yin Guoli;Yao Na;Yi Xianfeng;Wei Jinyi;

    In order to select the suitable alfalfa varieties for the shade areas in vineyard of Northwest,four shasing treatments R_0,R_1,R_2,R_3( full light,60% of full light,30% of full light,10% of full light) were set in the experiment to study the growth and physiological characteristics of seven domestic and foreign alfalfa varieties. The results showed that there was a big difference in height of alfalfa among cultivars under shading; leaf area,leaf dry weight and leaf number reduced significantly with the decrease of light intensity( P < 0. 05); relative growth ratio,soluble sugar content,chlorophyll a / b decreased with the increase of shading intensity. The first harvest yield decreased significantly with the increasing shading intensity,AmeriS tand and Queen declined less than others. In summary,the suitable alfalfa cultivars for plantation were Queen,Alfalfa and AmeriS tand in the northwest area where the habitat was similar with the habitat of experimental site,but due to the relativity of shading ability,the shading intensity could not exceed 50%.

    Zhang Ying;Huo Xiaowei;Zhang YaLi;

    Three individuals of Horqin yellow cattle equipped with permanent fistula,weighed( 548 ± 21) kg,were selected as the experimental animals. The rumen degradation characteristics of dry matter( DM) and crude protein( CP) of roughage at 6,12,24,48 and 72 h were measured by nylon bag method. The results showed that the effective degradation rates of DM and CP of alfalfa hay were the highest,while higher contents of rapid degradation part and potential degradation part of DM and CP also resulted in higher degradation rates of DM and CP. The effective degradation rates of CP and DM of roughage presented strong positive correlation with CP,but showed strong negative correlation with neutral detergent fiber( NDF). The effective degradation rates of CP of five roughages successively were alfalfa hay > alfalfa block > ryegrass > silage corn > straw.
