Feeding Effect of Codariocalyx gyroides on Meat Rabbits

To explore the feeding effect of Codariocalyx gyroides on meat rabbits, 30 healthy meat rabbits at the age of 50 days were randomly divided into five groups(Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ), six rabbits each group. Rabbits in experimental groups Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were fed with different quantita-tive complete formula feed and unlimited fresh grass of C. gyroides, and those in group Ⅴ(control group) were fed with complete formula feed. The indicators such as feed intake and growth performance were measured after 60 d. The results showed that the gaining effects of meat rabbits in ex-perimental groups Ⅳ and Ⅲ were most obvious, and the daily gain reached(25.75 ±3.00) and(24.50±1.95) g, 20.72% and 14.86% higher than those in control group, respectively. The conversion efficiency of dry matter in experimental group Ⅲ was the highest, and only 2.99 g of C. gyroides and compound feed dry matter was consumed for the growth of 1 g of rabbit meat, receiving significant economic benefit.

Effects of Clenbuterol,Genotype,and Feeding Method on Bodyweight Gain of Meat Rabbits

Four-factor and three-level orthogonal experimental design(L9(34))was used in the experiment.The effects of three genotypes:Germany SAB three-bred-cross rabbits(S2),New Zealand purebred(N),and crossbred rabbits(ON);three levels of Clenbuterol treatment: 1 ng.g-1,2 ng.g-1and 3 ng.g-1,and three feeding methods:5-day,7-day and 10-day withdrawal period after two weeks of feeding Clenbuterol(CL)on bodyweight gain were evaluated.CL apparently improved average daily gain(ADG)of rabbits.70-day ADG of 5-day and 10-day withdrawal were higher than that of 7-day withdrawal,70-day ADG of S2 genotype was significantly higher than that of the control and N genotype was significant.Genotype,additive dose and feeding method had significant effects on overall-stage ADG.ON genotype,2 ng.g-1 dose and 5-day withdrawal feeding method was the best.Responses of different genotype to Clenbuterol appeared different at experimental prophase or whole experimental period.

Feed weight estimation model for health monitoring of meat rabbits based on deep learning

With the development of precision livestock farming,non-contact health monitoring technology is particularly important in the breeding process.To help improve the management of the rabbit breeding industry,a remaining feed weight(RFW)estimation model was developed based on the image segmentation method.The model proposed in this study consisted of a feed instance segmentation neural network and feed weight estimation network.Feed instance segmentation neural network was based on the improved Mask Region-based Convolution Neural Network(Mask RCNN),the state-of-art image segmentation method,and the PointRend algorithm was used to replace the original network head.Through an adaptive subdivision strategy,the boundary points were segmented with fine details.Features were extracted from the segmentation results and used as the input of the feed weight estimation network based on the Back Propagation(BP)algorithm.The model was applied in rabbit breeding to explore the relationship between RFW and the mortality probability of meat rabbits.The model evaluation results showed that the Average Precision(AP)value of the feed instance segmentation neural network was 0.987,the Mean Pixel Accuracy(MPA)value was 0.985.The correlation coefficient of the feed weight estimation network was 0.97,the Mean Squared Error(MSE)was 208.3,and the Mean Absolute Error(MAE)was 10.51 g.The practical application results showed that the feed intake of the unhealthy meat rabbits would decrease significantly.When the RFW was more than 50%of feed quantity,the mortality probability of the rabbit was more than 85%;when the RFW was more than 65%of feed quantity,all the rabbits finally died in a short time.Therefore,there is a significant correlation between RFW and the mortality probability of rabbits,by which this proposed model can help farms to monitor the health of meat rabbits by predicting RFW.

Analysis and Identification of miRNA Expression in the Skeletal Muscle of Sichuan White Rabbits

[Objectives]miRNAs play an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of different myoblasts.This study was conducted to elucidate the complex genetic mechanisms that affect the meat production performance of Sichuan white rabbits and reveal the regulatory role of miRNAs in their muscle growth and meat quality formation.[Methods]Three constructed skeletal muscle libraries of Sichuan white rabbits aged six months were sequenced by the solexa technology to identify known miRNAs,predict new miRNAs and construct an expression profile of muscle miRNAs.[Results]A total of 511 known miRNAs and 42 miRNAs were detected in 34089472 pure sequences,and the proportion of miRNAs with a length of 22 nt was the highest.The number of known miRNA sequences accounted for 71.38%of pure sequences,which was much higher than the proportion of other types of RNAs.The proportion of sequences from exons was 0.38%,indicating a low degree of mRNA degradation in the samples.Base U had the highest proportion at the first position,and the bases with the highest proportions at positions 8 and 10 were U and A,respectively.Muscle-specific miRNAs(miR-1,miR-133,and miR-206)ranked in the top 10 in terms of expression level.The number and expression levels of new miRNAs were lower than those of known miRNAs.The length distribution,base bias at different positions and expression profile characteristics of miRNAs might be related to the biological function of miRNAs in regulating muscle proliferation and differentiation and the action mechanisms with target genes.[Conclusions]The identification and expression of miRNAs in muscle tissues of Sichuan white rabbits will help to understand the complex molecular mechanisms of meat production performance and provide a theoretical basis for the functional research of miRNAs in meat rabbits.

Dietary Supplementation of Oregano and Sage Dried Leaves on Performances and Meat Quality of Rabbits

The aim of this research was to evaluate the dietary supplementation 1% （w/w） of oregano and sage dried leaves on performances and meat quality of broiler rabbits. A feeding trial, which lasted 48 d, was carried out on 105 male Bianca Italiana rabbits randomly divided in seven groups and fed ad libitum. At the end of the trial ten animals per group were slaughtered and samples of dorsal muscle were taken in order to perform laboratory analysis. Mortality rate did not statistically differ between groups. Growth performances of animals fed diets supplemented with aromatic plants were higher （P〈0.05） than those of animals of control group, whereas carcass parameters were not affected by treatments excepting for the slaughter weight that showed the same trend as growth performances. Meat quality traits, oxidative lipid stability and fatty acid proifle were not inlfuenced by aromatic plant supplementation. In conclusion, oregano and sage in form of dried leaves can be used in rabbit without adverse effects on performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality traits.

Rabbit Meat——Highly Nutritious Food

本试验旨在研究不同比例陈化稻谷替代玉米对肉兔生长性能、肠道形态及养分表观消化率的影响。选取体重相近、健康的35日龄新西兰白兔240只,随机分为4组,每组6个重复,每个重复10只。对照组饲喂基础饲粮,试验组分别饲喂由陈化稻谷替代基础饲粮中25%、50%和100%玉米的3种试验饲粮。试验期42 d。结果表明:1)各组之间肉兔末重、平均日采食量、平均日增重和料重比均无显著差异(P>0.05)。与对照组相比,25%陈化稻谷替代组死亡率降低了16.70%(P>0.05),25%陈化稻谷替代组和50%陈化稻谷替代组腹泻率均降低了37.51%(P>0.05)。2)各组之间十二指肠、空肠和回肠绒毛高度、隐窝深度以及绒隐比均无显著差异(P>0.05)。3)与对照组相比,25%陈化稻谷替代组和50%陈化稻谷替代组干物质、总能、粗蛋白质、中性洗涤纤维、酸性洗涤纤维和酸性洗涤木质素的表观消化率均无显著差异(P>0.05),100%陈化稻谷替代组以上指标和粗脂肪表观消化率显著降低(P<0.05)。综上所述,肉兔饲粮中陈化稻谷以低于50%的比例替代玉米对肉兔生长性能和饲粮养分消化无不良影响。

不同比例苜蓿草粉饲粮对生长肉兔生长性能、屠宰性能和肉品质的影响

为筛选生长肉兔饲粮中适宜的苜蓿草粉添加比例,选取18只体重相近、40日龄的新西兰白兔,随机分为Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ组(每组6个重复,每个重复1只肉兔),分别饲喂29.0%、44.5%和51.8%苜蓿草粉的饲粮。试验期共49 d,其中预试期7 d,正试期42 d。结果表明:①Ⅱ、Ⅲ组肉兔的试验末重和平均日增重均显著高于I组(P<0.05),而其料重比显著低于I组(P<0.05);②Ⅱ、Ⅲ组的宰前活重均显著高于I组(P<0.05),但半净膛重、全净膛重、半净膛率和全净膛率3组间均无显著差异(P>0.05);③3组肉兔背最长肌肌肉的pH值、亮度(L*)、红度(a*)和黄度(b*)均无显著差异(P>0.05);④Ⅱ、Ⅲ组的肝脏重和脾脏重均显著高于Ⅰ组(P<0.05),在脏器指数方面,Ⅱ、Ⅲ组生长肉兔的肝脏指数显著高于Ⅰ组(P<0.05)。综上说明,饲粮中添加44.5%~51.8%的苜蓿草粉,可明显提高生长肉兔的平均日增重、饲料报酬以及肝脏和脾脏的重量。
