Status,Existing Problems and Countermeasures of Industrialization of Se-enriched Agriculture in Guangxi

With the rapid development of China's agricultural production and the improvement of people's living standards and health awareness,people's demands for food quality and nutrition have become increasingly strong. Agricultural products that meet various functional needs such as nutrition,health care and safety are increasingly favored by the general public. Se,one of the trace elements necessary for the human body,has begun to be applied and developed in medicine and other life sciences. Developing Se-enriched agricultural relying on Guangxi's unique Se-enriched soil resources is of great significance to enhance people's quality of life,increase the added value of agricultural products,and promote the transformation and upgrading of modern agriculture in the region. Starting with the development status and advantages of industrial development of Se-enriched agriculture in Guangxi,the main problems existing in the current industrial development of Se-enriched agriculture in Guangxi were summarized,and specific countermeasures were put forward in this paper,so as to provide theoretical support for the development of Se-enriched agriculture in Guangxi.

Effect of Se-enriched Lactobacillus on Antibody of NDV of Broilers

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Se-enriched lactobacillus on antibody of Newcastle Disease Virus(NDV)of broilers.One thousand day-old AA broiler chickens were selected from a chicken farm of Jinghai County,and the chickens were divided randomly into two groups,which respectively had five repeat groups with 100 chickens each,one named basal diet group,and the other named Se-enriched lactobacillus group.Corn soybean meal diet was selected for basal diet group,while 2%se-enriched lactobacillus was added into corn soybean meal diet for the other group.The method of feeding was free diet,drinking,and routine immunization program was adopted.This test period was 42 d.Two chickens were selected randomly in each repeat for slaughtering and collecting serums on the 14th,28th and 42nd d.Assessments on the effect of Se-enriched lactobacillus in antibody titer of NDV of broilers were made by hemagglutination-inhibition test.The results indicated that antibody titer of NDV was increased significantly by Se-enriched lactobacillus.

Regulation of Respiratory and Ligninolytic Enzyme Activity of Lentinula edodes by Selenium

The production of mushrooms enriched with essential elements, e.g. selenium, for human health is an interesting strategy to improve the functional foods supply. The selenium is an essential mineral and makes part of structure of enzymes involved in the oxidative metabolism. However, the selenium effect on the activity of respiratory and lignocellulolytic enzymes has not been considered. The understanding of this effect is important to determine the selenium concentration that increases the mushroom productivity and the degradation rate of the substrate. In this study, it was observed reduction of the respiratory activity of Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler, the shiitake mushroom, in function of the increasing of the sodium selenite concentration in the substrate (p < 0.05). Selenium did not inhibit the activity of the hydrolytic enzymes (cellulase and xylanase), but it increased the activity of the oxidative enzyme (laccase). Respiratory activity of L. edodes has a negative correlation with sodium selenite concentration added in substrate. Thus is important to define the ideal dose of selenium to be added to the substrate for increasing lignocellulosic residues degradation and, consequently, guarantee a higher production of Se-enriched mushrooms.
