[Method] With the mRNA from different tissues as template, RT-PCR amplification was carried out for cloning cDNA of hybrid pig, which was then used for PCR reaction using specific primers; the amplification products were separated by gel electrophoresis and analyzed by sequencing for detecting the distribution pattern of H-FABP mRNA in hybrids of Songliao black pig x Sus scrofa. [ Result] H-FABP expressed in all the twelve tissues including subcutaneous fat, abdominal fat, mammary gland, Iongissimus dorsi muscle, dorsal deltoid muscle, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, ileum and duodenum. [ Conclusion] The wide distribution of H-FABP gene suggests that its functions are important and multiple.展开更多

[Method] A tntal of 36 Hainan black pigs with the body weight of (46.34±3.06) kg were randomly divided into three groups: con- trol group (protein level 15%, lysine level 0.83%), experimental grnup 1 (protein level 13%, 0.83%), and experimental group II (protein level 13%, lysine level 1.03), each group had three replicates of four pigs. The trial lasted 35 d. [Result] The growth performance of Hainan black pig in grnup II had no significan! difference with that in contrail group (P〉0.05). The apparent digestibility of chide protein and phosphorus of Hainan black pigs in Group II increased significantly (P〈0.05), which were increased by 10.08% and 11.85% respectively compared to the control group; the apparent digestibility of calcium was increased, but the difference was not signifieant (P〉0.05). [Conclusion] It will not reduce the growth performance of Hainan blaek pig when the protein level of diet is reduced by 2% and Ihe lysine level is increased to 1.03%. It is recommended that the diet can be used in the production of llainan black pig.展开更多

Eighty-four castrated boars including Laiwu Black (LW) (weight 30-90 kg, n = 6) and Lulai Black (LL) (weight 40-100 kg, n = 6) were used to study the developmental changes of collagen type Ⅲ alpha 1 (Col3al...Eighty-four castrated boars including Laiwu Black (LW) (weight 30-90 kg, n = 6) and Lulai Black (LL) (weight 40-100 kg, n = 6) were used to study the developmental changes of collagen type Ⅲ alpha 1 (Col3al) mRNA expression in the muscle and their association with intramuscular collagen (IMC). The muscle total RNA was extracted to determine the abundance of Col3al mRNA using relative quantitative RT-PCR with β-actin mRNA as the internal standard. The results indicated that the developmental patterns of muscle Col3al mRNA in LW and LL pigs were similar. The abundance of Col3al mRNA increased with body weight, but decreased a little at 70 kg and 80 kg phases for LW and LL, respectively. On the whole, the expression level of Col3al mRNA in muscle of LW was higher than that of LL (P 〈 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the expression of Col3al mRNA in muscle was positively correlated with total and insoluble IMC, but was negatively correlated with IMC solubility for LW pigs (P 〈 0.01) and LL pigs (P 〈 0.05), respectively. These results suggest that the muscle Col3al gene expression is affected by body weight and genotype and has important effect on IMC content and characteristics.展开更多
