To study the diversity and composition of the bacterial community from cecum samples from Yacha pig, Qingyu pig and Wujin pig, the investigation was designed to reveal mechanism of roughage resistance. Illumina amplicon sequencing of 16S rDNA Tag was used to analyze the cecum microbial diversity of Yacha pig, Qingyu pig and Wujin pig at 90 kg liveweight. The results indicated that the core flora of the three breeds were Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes at the phylum level and Prevotella and Bacteroides at the genus level. Meanwhile bacteria associated with cellulose decomposition were found in all three breeds, in which the number of Fibrobacter and Clostridium in Yacha pig were significantly higher than that in Qingyu pig and Wujin pig (P<0.05),and the number of Prevotella in Yacha pig was significantly higher than that in Wujin pig (P<0.05). The number of Bacteroides in Qingyu pig was significantly higher than that in Yacha pig (P<0.05).The number of Spirochaetes in Qingyu pig was significantly higher than that in Wujin pig (P<0.05). It could conclud that the composition of the cecum bacteria community was similar in above pig breeds, but there were significant differences in distribution and quantity. According to analysis of microbial related to cellulose digestibility, Yacha pig was the strongest among the three breeds, followed by the Qingyu pig and Wujin pig.

This study was aimed to construct the eukaryotic expression plasmid of β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) and mutants including D130N, C285S and D130N/C285S and demonstrate the plasmids could be expressed in HEK293T successfully. The β2AR gene was amplified by PCR from pig genome DNA, then subcloned into pcDNA3.1(+) vector by homologous recombination to construct the eukaryotic expression plasmid, added the c-myc tag in the plasmid which named myc-pcDNA3.1(+)-β2AR. We made the eukaryotic expression vector as the template to construct the mutant, transfected the plasmids into HEK293T, extracted the protein and demonstrated the expression by Western blotting. The results of sequencing showed that the 130th amino acid had been mutate from aspartic acid to asparagine, the 285th amino acid had been mutate from cysteine to serine. Also, we confirmed that the plasmids could be expressed in HEK293T successfully. The results showed that the recombinant plasmid myc-pcDNA3.1(+)-β2AR, myc-pcDNA3.1(+)-β2AR-D130N, myc-pcDNA3.1(+)-β2AR-C285S and myc-pcDNA3.1(+)-β2AR-D130N/C285S were constructed correctly and could be expressed in HEK293T, which laid the foundation for further studies on the function and the pharmacology activity of β2AR.

To investigate the impact of porcine oocytes in vivo and in vitro maturation (IVM) on the development of porcine somatic cell cloned embryos,the somatic cell cloned embryos cultured in vitro and the sows were treated with hormones to collect mature oocytes in vivo,and the cleavage rate, blastocyst rate and embryo implantation were compared. The results showed that the average number of ovulation in PGC+PMSG+HCG group was significantly higher than that of PGC+HCG,PMSG+HCG and the natural estrus groups (P<0.05). The oocytes collected in vivo could be used for the construction, and the available oocytes rate reached more than 90%,and there was no significant difference among the four groups (P>0.05),which indicated that groups treated by hormone could obtain more available oocytes and the quality of oocytes was not significant different. In vivo and in vitro matured oocytes were used as nuclear transfer embryos of recombinant receptor,the fusion efficiency (80.31% and 79.29%) and cleavage rate (90.40% and 86.51%) were not significant different (P>0.05), but the proportion of in vivo matured oocytes cloned embryos developed into the blastocyst stage was significantly higher (P<0.05). The reconstructed embryos made from in vivo and in vitro matured oocytes were transplanted into surrogate sows (transferred 30 or 60 embryos),10 piglets were born in in vivo maturation of cloned embryo transfer group,while there was no implantation in in vitro maturation of cloned embryo transfer group. The results showed that high quality oocytes obtained by superovulation could significantly increase the blastocyst rate of embryos,reduce the number of embryos transferred and improve the pregnancy rate of surrogate sows.

In order to study the hypoglycemic effect of soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors (sEHI) on diabetic mice,the diabetic mice model were successfully induced by high-fat diet and streptozotocin (STZ). The diabetic mice (C57BL/6J) were randomly divided into three groups,including normal control group,diabetic control group and sEHI group,the mice in three groups were fed high-fat diet+1 mg/kg sEHI (t-AUCB),high-fat diet+same volume normal saline,normal diet+same volume normal saline,respectively,and intervention last for 4 weeks. During the experiment,the body weight,blood glucose were recorded,and performed oral glucose tolerance test was conducted. After the experiment,indicators of serum lipids,liver peroxidation and pathological analysis of pancreatic tissue were measured. The results showed that compared with diabetic control group,the fasting blood glucose of mice in sEHI group was significantly reduced (P<0.05),and their glucose tolerance was improved. And the TC (P<0.05),TG (P<0.05) and LDL (P>0.05) in sEHI group were decreased,while the LDL/TC was significantly increased (P<0.05).The SOD and CAT activity in liver of diabetic mice treated with sEHI were significantly increased (P<0.05) and MDA activity was significantly decreased (P<0.05).Based on mouse pancreatic tissue sections,we speculated that sEHI had ability to repair activity on damaged islet tissue. In conclusion,the sEHI could reduce the blood glucose level and the free radical damage,inhibit lipid peroxidation,repair of damaged islet tissue in mice.

In order to understand the blood physiological and biochemical reactions after long-distance transport, 23 Akhal-teke horses (male horse 14, mare 9, aged 2 to 6 years old), were selected and transported from Russian to Alashankou of Xinjiang (5 d road transport). 7 and 35 d after reaching the destination, the jugular vein blood were collected for the determination of physiological and biochemical indicators and stress-related hormone levels. The remote control horses without transport (15 local Akhal-teke horses,male horse 10, mare 5, aged 6 to 10 years old) were used for comparative study. The results showed that on the 7th and 35th day after transport, the number and proportion of granulocytes (Gran), hematocrit (HCT), blood platelet (PLT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALKP) were significantly or extremely significantly higher than those of the local Akhal-teke horses (P<0.05; P<0.01), while the number and percentage of intermediate cells (Mid) and the level of blood glucose (GLU) were significantly or extremely significantly decreased (P<0.05; P<0.01); On the 35th day after transport, the mean red blood cell volume (MCV), phosphorus (PHOS) and total protein (TP) were significantly or extremely signifcantly increased (P<0.05; P<0.01), and the percentage of lymphocytes (LY) was significantly decreased (P<0.05); On the 7th day after transport, the levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), growth hormone (GH), UREA and insulin (INS) were significantly or extremely signifcantly decreased (P<0.05; P<0.01), and the total bilirubin (TBIL) and triiodothyronine (T3) were signigicantly increased (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) on the 35th day after transport. Based on the above results, after the long-distance transport, there had a corresponding transient stress response in Akhal-teke horses, which required some adjustment after the recovery period (35 d) to let most of the indicators were consistent with those without long-distance transport. So the horses could not be used until they were in a normal state, in order to avoid long-term irreversible lesions.

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of testosterone propionate supplementation on tissues residue of broilers,and its residual effect on serum biochemical parameters,testicular growth and development of broiler chickens,to provide a basis for the protection of animal products safety. A total of 160 male 60-day-old broilers with (2.2±0.1)kg body weight were selected and assigned to control group and testosterone propionate supplementation group. The chicken in control group were fed basal diets while that in testosterone propionate supplementation group were fed diets supplemented with 20 mg/kg testosterone propionate for 7 d. The broilers was slaughtered at the day of 2,6,11 and 17 d after the testosterone propionate supplemented diets were ending. The crest,liver,testis and musle were collected to measure the testosterone propionate residues and testosterone concentration by lquid chromatograph mass spectrometer mass spectrometer (HPLC-MS/MS). The serum samples were collected from the veins to measure the serum biochemical profiles by automatic biochemical analyzer. Testis samples were collected to measure the testis cell morphology and mastocyte accounts by HE and toluidine blue staining. The results showed that:①The testosterone propionate concentration in serum was the highest,followed by the crest. However,there was no testosterone propionate residues in breast muscle,leg muscle,liver and testis. The testosterone propionate concentration in crest was not affected by the withdrawal time (P>0.05). The content of testosterone propionate at 17 d of the withdrawal time was extremely significantly lower than that of 2,6 and 11 d (P<0.01),and there was a regressive between the residues of testosterone propionate in the blood and crest and withdrawal time.②Compared with the control group,the concentration of propionate in testis at the withdrawal time of 2,6,11 and 17 d was reduced 71.45%,63.46%,62.86% and 73.61% (P<0.01),respectively.③The relative weight of testis was significantly lower at the withdrawal time of 2 d (P<0.05). But there was no significant difference in liver relative weights among the two groups in all the withdrawal time (P>0.05).④Most of serum biochemical parameters (TP,ALB,A/G,CHO,TG,LDH,ALT and AST) were not significantly affected by testosterone propionate supplementation (P>0.05).⑤Testis lose the profiles, outed of the order of spermatogenic cells in tubes by testosterone propionate supplementation. Degranulation mass cell accounts,mast cells were higher than control group. In conclusion,the testosterone propionate could result in atrophy of the rooster testis,which could be detected by blood and crest samples,and the results could provide a basis for the study of livestock products safety.

The high-yield protease was obtained by screening high-yield protease Aspergillus oryzae and optimizing its solid-state fermentation conditions, and then the effect of fermented product on nutrient digestion in broiler was studied. After the screening and re-screening of 8 different Aspergillus oryzae spores, a new Aspergillus oryzae strain 0-8 with high acid protease was obtained. The fermentation conditions of acid protease were optimized by single factor and orthogonal test experiment. The results showed that the optimum temperature was 30℃, the most suitable fermentation time was 66 h, the initial water content was 47.40%, the inoculation quantity was 1.5×107 spores/mL, the content of bran was 80%, C/N was 1/3, the optimized vigor of acid protease reached 14 416.64 U/g, which was 157.02% higher than that before optimization. 500 mg/kg Aspergillus oryzae 0-8 fermented product was added in the broiler diet, and the mutrient digestibility of broiler were measured after 10 d of adaptation and 5 d of test period. The results of the nutrient digestion of broilers showed that feeding Aspergillus oryzae 0-8 fermentation increased the CP and energy digestibility of broiler in a certain degree compared to control group, but there's no significant difference (P>0.05). Dietary supplementation of Aspergillus oryzae fermentation was beneficial to the production of broilers, but its additive dose or feeding pattern should be further studied.

In order to explore the differential expression miRNAs and their expression patterns in the control of buffalo in lactation and non-lactation, the miRNAs of 18 buffalo breast tissues differentially expressed in lactation and non-lactation were screened by Solexa high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Viable miRNAs primers for reverse transcription and Real-time quantitative PCR were used to validate the expression patterns of miRNAs. The Real-time quantitative PCR results were basically consistent with sequencing results. The expression levels of miR-103, miRNA-125a, miRNA-30a-5p and miRNA-148a in lactation were significantly higher than those in non-lactation (P<0.05). The expression level of miRNA-29a in non-lactation was higher than that in lactation (P<0.05). The expression levels of miRNA-141, miRNA-125b and miRNA-497 in lactation were higher than those in non-lactation,but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). The low-expression levels of miRNA-490 and miRNA-592 in lactation were significantly higher than those in non-lactation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of Novel-123b between lactation and non-lactation (P>0.05). Novel-57 was extremely significantly in lactation (29.79 times) higher than non-lactation (P<0.01). This results provide available specific reverse transcription primers and Real-time quantitative PCR primers of 16 miRNAs for further study on buffalo,and 6 miRNAs such as miRNA-103, miRNA-125a, miRNA-30a-5p, miRNA-148a,miRNA-29a and Novel-57 deserve further research.

African swine fever (ASF), which caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV), is an acute, highly contagious disease characterized by high fever. It leads to serious economic losses in pig industry. 3 assemblies of primers and probes targeting were designed to amplify ASFV B646L (p72) gene using recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technology. The Real-time fluorescent RPA method was established after screening of primers and probes, optimization of reaction conditions, tests of sensitivity, specificity and repeatability. The results showed that the method could detect 10 copies of DNA within 20 min at 39℃. No cross-reaction was found when testing swine fever virus, porcine circovirus type 2, porcine parvovirus, pseudorabies virus. According to the fluorescence intensity from 5.5×106 to 5.5×100 copies/μL at each time point, the coefficient of variation was 0.38% to 28.30%. In conclusion, this method could be used for the qualitative detection of ASFV pathogen, which might provide technical support for the early diagnosis of ASFV infection in China, and was also of great significance for the development of corresponding control measures.

To find out the reason of the reproductive failure in pregnant sows in a hoggery in Guangdong, the mixture with brain, lymph nodes and lungs of farm abortion stillbirth were identified by PCR, virus isolation and culture, tissue culture infective dose (TCID50) assay, homology and phylogenetic analysis of the important functional genes (gB, gC, gD and gE) and animal test. The results showed that the mixture was proved to be porcine pseudorabies virus (PRV) positive samples. The typical cytopathogenic effect was induced in the third passage of Vero cell and the titer of the fifth passage was 10-6.8/0.1 mL. The sequence analysis and phylogenetic relationship of gB, gC, gD and gE genes showed that it was a Chinese PRV variant, which was named as LC strain. The typical pseudorabies clinical and pathological symptoms were presented in 12-week-old piglets inoculated with LC strain. The results demonstrated that a local pseudorabies virus had been isolated, suggesting that the Bartha-K61 vaccine was not fully effective for controlling the current epidemic of pseudorabies in China.

Small colony variants (SCVs) have been shown to be part of the regular growth cycle, which are highly dynamic or stable and can be selected during various harsh conditions. The features of SCVs include slow growth, colony morphology irregular and biochemical characteristics abnormal, making the separation and identification of SCVs into trouble. SCVs can cause chronic persistent infection, but not lead to strong immune response to host. Furthermore, SCVs are serious resistant to antibacterials normally. In this paper, we introduce the phenotype classification of SCVs, the relationship with the host's immune response and the effects of antibacterials on SCVs, which will provide theoretical support for further research of SCVs.

To realize the rapid detection of duck tembusu virus (DTMUV), a set of specific primers was designed according to the highly conserved sequence of DTMUV E protein gene published in GenBank. A sensitive and convenient RT-LAMP amplification method was established by optimizing the concentrations of each component, reaction time and temperature in the reaction system. The results showed that the influence of betaine on the reaction system was not obvious under the optimal conditions. This method was 100 times more sensitive than the conventional RT-PCR. The RT-LAMP method specifically amplified tembusu virus but not other common avian viruses. The results could be differentiated by naked eyes. 74 clinic suspicious samples were tested and 65 of them were positive. These results suggested that the RT-LAMP assay could be used as a method for the diagnosis and detection of clinical cases, and molecular epidemiological investigation of duck tembusu virus disease.

Antibacterials are used for the treatment or prevention of animal diseases by direct administration or feed additives. The inappropriate use of antibacterials in aquaculture inevitably lead to excessive residue of antibacterials in animal food. Microbiological methods are the earliest methods for the detection of antibacterials residues. Compared with other detection methods, microbiological methods are widely used for detecting residual antibacterials in livestock and poultry, milk and others animal food because it is easy to operate, low cost and high throughput. The purpose of this paper is to review the development history of microbiological methods and its application status for the detection of residual antibacterials in milk, feeding livestock and poultry, eggs, aquatic products and honey, which provides a theoretical and practical basis for the subsequent development of new microbiological methods. This review also makes a prospect of the development of microbiological methods.

In order to develop a sensitive and specific method for the detection of estradiol residues (E2) in milk, a colloidal gold immunochromatographic method was established. Colloidal gold particles were prepared by trisodium citrate reduction method and labeled with rabbit polyclonal antibodies (PcAb) by physical adsorption method. After optimization of reaction conditions such as the amount of coating antigen and labeled antibody to assemble test strip, the sensitivity, specificity, repeatability and accelerated preservation of the test strip were determined. The estrogen analogue cross reaction and milk matrix interference reaction were also measured. The results showed that the optimized concentration of E2-OVA antigen was 2 mg/mL and the optimized antibody concentration was 20 μg/mL, visual detection limits of E2 was 10 μg/L in PBS within 10 min. The cross reaction rate of this method with estriol was 40%, there were no negligible cross-reactivities with other estrogen compounds including estradiol valerate, estradiol benzoate, estrone, diethylstilbestrol, quinestrol, ethinyloestradiol and nonylphenol. Milk samples only needed two times diluted before analysis, and the results could judge by naked eye after 10 min with cut-off of 20 μg/L. The results demonstrated that the developed method was suitable for rapid on-site screening of E2 residues in milk samples.

In order to provide therapeutical guidance for drug admistration, the bacteria of three sick minks suffering from typical diarrhea symptoms provided by mink farms in Jilin province were isolated and identified, and the drug sensitivity was tested. The bacteria were isolated with TSA plates, and identified using biochemical methods and PCR assay. The virulence of the isolates was determined by infecting BALB/c mice. The antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates to antimicrobial agents was investigated using the K-B method. PCR was used to detect the resistance genes and Ⅰ integrons. A total of 3 Shigella isolates were obtained from sick minks. The virulent determination showed that all isolates could cause mice diarrhea. The drug sensitivity results showed that 3 strains were sensitive to fluoroquinolone, cephalosporin, florfenicol and polymyxin, but they were resistant to aminoglycoside, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, penicillin and ampicillin. There were seven resistance genes were detected,blaTEM-1,aadA1, aac(3')-Ⅱc, aac(6')-Ⅰb, aph(3')-Ⅶ, tet(M), cat2 and three class Ⅰ integrons carrying aadA 1 gene cassette. All of the isolates were virulent and caused the mice diarrhea. The resistance of the 3 strains were very serious and mainly for multiple drug resistance phenomenon. The resistance genes detected in the mink were various, and could bring enormous implications for clinical treatment.
