保护性蛋氨酸对中国荷斯坦奶牛血浆代谢产物及生产性能的影响

选择25头中国荷斯坦奶牛,分成对照组,试验一组(添加30 g DL-蛋氨酸),试验二组(添加45 g保护性蛋氨酸),试验三组(添加30 g DL-蛋氨酸+50 g L-赖氨酸)和试验四组(添加45 g保护性蛋氨酸+50 g L-赖氨酸)进行饲养试验。试验表明:试验四组和试验二组产奶量显著(P<0.05)高于对照组,分别提高6.31 %和6.73 %,其他组差异不显著(P>0.05);试验四组和试验二组乳脂率显著(P<0.05)高于对照组,分别提高6.25 %和6.55 %;并且试验四组和试验二组乳脂率也显著(P<0.05)高于试验一组。乳蛋白、体细胞数、全脂固形物和非脂固形物各组间差异不显著(P>0.05)。试验四组和试验二组血浆白蛋白和总蛋白显著高于对照组(P<0.05),其它各组差异不显著(P>0.05)。试验二组血浆尿素氮(PUN)显著低于对照组和试验一组(P<0.05),其他各组差异不显著(P>0.05)。血浆游离脂肪酸和总氨基酸浓度各组差异不显著(P>0.05)。由此得出结论:一方面,保护性蛋氨酸(RPMet)的一部分能避免瘤胃微生物的降解,以保护性Met的形式提供给瘤胃后Met;另一方面,保护性蛋氨酸的降解部分改善了瘤胃的发酵,促进瘤胃微生物的合成,这两方面的作用提高了奶牛的产奶量和乳成分。

Effect of Metallothionein on Cell Cycle,Apoptosis Rate and Subsets Distribution of Lymphocytes in Peripheral Blood of Dairy Cattle under Heat Stress

[Objective] This study aimed to research the effect of metallothionein on cell cycle, apoptosis rate and subsets distribution of lymphocytes in peripheral blood of dairy cows under heat stress, so as to perfect the regulative mechanism re- searches of MT to anti-heat stress. [Method] Twenty lactating Chinese Holstein cows were randomly divided into four groups （A, B, C and D）, and injected with 0, 4.0, 8.0 and 12.0 mg Zn-metallothionein, respectively by intravenous route. Blood sam- ples were collected at 1＂, 16~, 31~, 46~ and 61~ day, and the dynamic changes of cell cycle, apoptosis rate and subsets distribution of lymphocytes were determined. [Result] The apoptosis rate of cells in group B and C was lower than those in group A by 26.63% （P〉0.05） and 24.84% （P〉0.05） respectively. The number of cells in the Gc/G1 phage in trial groups was increased and the number of cells in the S and GJM phages tended to decrease, but there were no significant differences （P〉 0.05）. The number of CD3~ T cell in three trial groups was greater than those in group A by 7.02% （P〉0.05）, 5.45% （P〉0.05） and 3.85% （P〉0.05） respectively, while the number of CD4~ T cell in trial groups was higher than those in control group by 31.04% （P〈0.05）, 35.68% （P〈0.05） and 39.34% （P〈0.05） respectively. The number of CD8＇ T cell and the levels of CD4＊/CD8~ in trial groups were increased observ- ably, but significant difference （P〈0.05） was observed in the levels of CD4~/CD8~ between groups A and C only. It demonstrated that exogenous Zn-metallothionein can decrease apoptosis rate, improve cell cycle and regulate subsets distribution of lymphocytes in dairy cattle in a dose-dependent manner. [Conclusion] This study will provide scientific basis for safe utilization of MT in dairy industry.

Genetic Parameters for Yields and Reproductive Traits of Chinese Holstein Cows in Heilongjiang Province

[Objective] This study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters for milk yield, fat percentage, fat yield and age at first freshening of Chinese Holsteins first lactation cows in Heilongjiang under frigid-temperature and temperature zone. [Method] Records of yield and reproduction from 8 868 Chinese Holstein first lacta- tion cows from 21 herds were utilized to evaluate genetic parameters for Hei- Iongjiangs＇ Chinese Holsteins. Restricted maximum likelihood （REML） method was used with an animal model. [Result] The heritabilities were 0.16 to 0.34 for yields and fat percentage, 0.38 for reproduction （age at the first freshening）, which were similar to estimates for temperate areas from similar methods, except for constituent percentage. Also, the estimates of genetic correlation were high between milk yield and fat yield （0.97）, but were low between milk yield and fat percentage （-0.24）, age at the first freshening （-0.29） and generally antagonistic. [Conclusion] Thus, es- timates of genetic parameters in this frigid and frigid-temperate environment did not differ appreciably from those that occur in temperate dairy areas.
