A new procedure for determining acid detergent fibre and neutral detergent fibre (ADF and NDF) was developed to reduce the need for filtration and to allow for batch processing of forage samples. The FibreBag system is an economically necessary evolution of the earlier FibreCap system. The purpose of this enquiry was to determine if the FibreBag is a suitable replacement for the FibreCap. The FibreBag method produced very similar results to the FibreCap system of analysis and ranked the various forage samples ion the same order. All the results suggest that the FibreBag is suitably similar in performance to the FibreCap system. 相似文献

The effect of within-day delays of 0.5, 2.5, 4.5 and 6.5 h between collection of rumen fluid from a cow and initiation of in vitro fermentation, as well as storage of rumen fluid for 48 h at either −24°C or 6, 22 and 39°C, on in vitro digestion of neutral detergent fibre (NDF) at 48 h was determined. In addition, the 48 h in vitro digestion of NDF, determined with a minimum time delay (i.e., 0.5 h) between collection from the cow and initiation of incubation, was compared to NDF digestion determined in sacco at 48 h. Rumen inoculum from a single cow was utilized in a thrice replicated incubation with whole crop alfalfa, corn, cereal and sudangrass forages of a lower and higher quality. The same cow was used as the host for the in sacco bags. The in vitro procedure used a bulk procedure with 5.0 cm × 5.5 cm multi-weave polyethylene polyester polymer bags that retained particles of 25 mm and larger. The in sacco procedure used the same bags retained in a large mesh bag. A within-day time delay of up to 6.5 h between collection of rumen fluid from the cow and initiation of in vitro fermentation had no impact on measured 48 h in vitro digestion of NDF. In contrast, no temperature dependent storage procedure maintained 48 h in vitro digestion of NDF at levels determined with no 48 h storage, although high quality alfalfa was least affected by any storage procedure. The 48 h in vitro digestion of NDF, determined using the minimum time delay between collection from the cow and initiation of the incubation, was higher than values obtained in sacco. Results show that this bulk in vitro procedure resulted in higher 48 h digestion of NDF than those determined with a similar in sacco procedure, thereby suggesting that laboratories located some distance from the donor animal can utilize in vitro procedures to accurately estimate 48 h digestion of NDF. However, storage of rumen fluid for 48 h, by any temperature dependent procedure examined, in order to facilitate fewer trips to the donor animal, or trips of substantially longer duration, will underestimate 48 h digestion of NDF to an extent that depends upon the forage incubated. 相似文献

The effect of neutral detergent soluble fibre (NDSF) to neutral detergent fibre (NDF) dietary ratio (0.29, LR and 0.43, HR) on the caecal ecosystem of lactating does and their offspring was studied. From the 17th day of lactation, each diet was given to four does, allowing for free access to their litters. Does were sampled at 17 and 28 days of lactation, and also two pups per litter at 17 (milk-fed only), 28 (milk and solid fed) and 49 days of age. DGGE was used to study bacterial caecal biodiversity, and total bacterial concentration and relative proportions of Ruminococcus albus and Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens were quantified by real time PCR. In does, diet did not affect (P > 0.10) diversity indexes, total bacterial concentration or relative abundance of B. fibrisolvens, but at 28 days of lactation the proportion of R. albus was higher with LR (interaction Diet × Time, P = 0.037). Caecal communities of pups of 17 days were grouped by litter, but the influence of the mother was reduced at 28 days with solid feed intake, and at 49 days rabbits clustered by diet. Caecal biodiversity increased from 17 to 28 days, and was reduced at 49 days (Shannon index of 3.60, 3.71 and 3.57, respectively; P = 0.049). Total bacterial concentration and relative abundance of R. albus and B. fibrisolvens increased with solid feed intake from 17 to 28 days (P < 0.01), remaining unaffected thereafter. Access of pups to solid feed from 17 days of age modulates the development and composition of the caecal microbiota at weaning. 相似文献

Genetic improvement of forage digestibility, especially utilizing marker assisted selection and recombinant DNA techniques, requires identification of specific biochemical traits and associated genes that impact digestibility. We undertook a study to identify cell wall (CW) traits of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) stems that were consistently and strongly correlated with in vitro neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility, a measurement that has been shown to correlate with animal performance. Spring and summer harvested lucerne stem material, for 2 years, from 24 individual plants in each of two germplasm sources were analyzed for 16 and 96 h in vitro NDF digestibility, and cell wall concentration and composition (monosaccharide constituents of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin; and Klason lignin (KL)) by the Uppsala dietary fibre method using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated for the relationships among these cell wall traits and with in vitro NDF digestibility. Concentrations of the pectin monosaccharide components were all negatively correlated (r=−0.73 to −0.94) with total cell wall concentration. In contrast, the three most abundant cell wall components glucose (Glc), xylose (Xyl) and Klason lignin were not correlated, or only weakly positively correlated (r<0.35), with cell wall concentration. Cell wall concentration was consistently negatively correlated (r=−0.60 to −0.94) with both 16 and 96 h in vitro NDF digestibility. In contrast, Klason lignin concentration was only marginally correlated (r<0.30) with 16 h in vitro NDF digestibility, but strongly negatively correlated (r=−0.71 to −0.74) with 96 h in vitro NDF digestibility. This is consistent with previous reports which show that lignin affects potential extent of digestion, but not rate. Cell wall glucose and xylose concentrations were inconsistently correlated with fibre digestibility. The monosaccharide components of pectin were consistently positively correlated (r=0.54–0.90) with in vitro NDF digestibility, except for 96 h in vitro NDF digestibility of spring harvested stems. Growth environment (year) and germplasm source had only minor impacts on the preceding correlation patterns, whereas spring versus summer harvests accounted for the inconsistencies observed among correlations for cell wall traits. The results of this study indicate that genetic improvement of fibre digestibility of lucerne stems should target genes that reduce total cell wall concentration, perhaps by reducing the rate of xylem tissue deposition during maturation, and reduce Klason lignin and increase pectin concentrations in the cell wall to improve potential extent and rate of fibre digestibility, respectively. 相似文献

A simple and high-throughput method for determining in situ intracellular neutral lipid accumulation in Chlorella ellipsoidea and Chlorococcum infusionum with flow cytometry and confocal microscopy was established by employing different solvents and a lipophilic dye, Nile red. Seven different organic solvents, acetic acid, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetone, methanol, ethanol, n-hexane, and chloroform at different concentrations ranging from 0 to 80% (v/v) were tested. The fluorescence signal for neutral lipids was collected with a 586/42 emission filter (PE-A) and the maximum fluorescence intensity (% grandparent) was measured as 74.01 ± 4.82% for Chlorella and 70.1 ± 5.52% for Chlorococcum at 30% acetic acid (v/v). The statistical analysis of Nile red-stained cells showed a high coefficient of variation (CV), standard deviation (SD), mean, and median values in the acetic acid-based staining method, followed by DMSO, n-hexane and chloroform. Confocal microscopy revealed a high rate of accumulation of cytosolic neutral lipids when stained with Nile red and other organic solvents. Higher lipid accumulation in Fesupplemented conditions was also detected and a maximum lipid content of 57.36 ± 0.41% (4-fold) in Chlorella and 48.20 ± 0.43% (4-fold) in Chlorococcum were measured at 0.001 g/L of ferrous sulfate (FeSO4). High fluorescence intensity (75.16 ± 0.24% in Chlorella and 72.24 ± 1.07% in Chlorococcum) in Fe-treated cells confirmed the efficiency of the staining procedure. 相似文献

A comparative evaluation of the determination of acid-detergent fibre (ADF) according to Van Soest and of a modified procedure for the determination of detergent fibre (DF) was performed on 54 forage samples. Losses of cellulose shown to occur during ADF preparation can be avoided by the DF procedure. Despite this finding, true cellulose-contents could be calculated from ADF and ADL, because of non-lignocellulosic contaminants compensating numerically for the cellulose losses. 相似文献

Effects of proportions of neutral detergent fibre (aNDFom) and starch, as well as their degradation rates, on rumen fermentation were tested using an in vitro rumen simulation system (SIMCO). The in vitro system was designed to simulate selective particle retention and had an average fluid volume of 1150 ml with a liquid dilution rate of approximately 0.07 h−1. Two types of hay (aNDFom sources) and two types of starch were each included at two different levels in the diet and were examined in an experiment following a 2×2×2 factorial arrangement of treatments (eight diet combinations). The hay was either late-cut timothy (Phleum pretense L.) or early cut meadow grass (Poa pratensis L.), with ruminal in situ aNDFom digestion rates of 0.03–0.04 and 0.07–0.08 h−1, respectively. The two starch types were raw (R) and cooked (C) potato starch with previously determined in vitro ruminal digestion rates of 0.04 and 0.20 h−1, respectively. The starch levels were 300 and 600 g/kg diet dry matter (DM) with the remaining being hay (282–682 g/kg DM) and peptone (14–111 g/kg DM). The aNDFom level varied among the diets with different starch levels and hay types. The peptone acted as a source of peptides and, together with ammonia salts from buffer, was used to balance the N contents of the diets. The feeding level for each of the eight vessels was 28 g DM/d. Two 10-day simulations were made with the system. The average pH was higher (P<0.05) for all treatments with raw potato starch (6.19) versus cooked starch (6.07). Protozoa scores, on a qualitative scale, declined faster at the higher starch level. The aNDFom digestibility was, as expected, higher (P<0.001) for meadow hay (0.57) than timothy (0.32), and was also higher (P<0.001) at the lower starch level (0.54) versus the higher (0.35). Microbial protein production efficiency (mg microbial N/g organic matter truly digested) was higher for the faster degrading aNDFom (P<0.01) and starch (P<0.05) sources, but was not affected by starch level. Cooked starch resulted in a lower acetate proportion (449 mmol/mol versus 591 mmol/mol VFA; P<0.001) but higher proportions of propionate (297 mmol/mol versus 236 mmol/mol VFA; P<0.001), and butyrate (169 mmol/mol versus 127 mmol/mol VFA; P<0.01). Butyrate increased with starch level (127 mmol/mol versus 169 mmol/mol VFA; P<0.01), and was also higher for meadow hay versus timothy (168 mmol/mol versus 128 mmol/mol VFA; P<0.01). Interactions between the treatments demonstrate that the response in VFA pattern to starch level is dependent on starch and aNDFom sources. Substrates such as starch and aNDFom are fermented differently depending on their rates of ruminal degradation. 相似文献

Oligonucleotide synthesis was coupled with amplification by the polymerase chain reaction to generate an exact translational
fusion between a plant signal sequence and an animal structural gene. A synthetic 111-mer oligonucleotide representing less
than two percent of the reaction products was successfully amplified by using short primers containing restriction sites designed
for ease of cloning and providing in-frame fusion. The method overcomes the length-versus-yield dilemma in oligonucleotide
synthesis, and is generally adaptable to the construction of a translationally competent coding sequence from any two DNA
fragments. 相似文献

An alternative method for analysing pressure-volume curves produced with the pressure chamber 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract. An equation is derived relating tissue water potential to relative water content. This equation may be used to lit a single curve to a set of data such as the standard pressure volume measurements made with a pressure chamber. From such a single curve fitting operation, estimates of the parameters involved may be found, and this allows calculation of such quantities as bulk modulus of elasticity, osmotic potential at full turgor and at the turgor loss point, pressure potential, and the weight of symplastic water. The method of analysis has several advantages, which are illustrated using pressure chamber data obtained from leaves of Lombardy poplar, Populus nigra L. 'italica'. 相似文献

A modification of the method described by Kristjansson (1963) allows easier distinction of the components and position of every major cattle transferrin phenotype. The modification is based on increasing the percentage of starch (15%) and reducing the pH of the gel buffer to 6.8. In all the experiments, when a voltage of 350 was applied, a tray of ice was placed over the starch gel for the remainder of the electrophoresis. Different cattle transferrin phenotypes from our modified electrophoresis method are composed as follows: Type A, 4 bands; D1, 4 bands; D1D2, 4 bands; D2, 4 bands; E, 4 bands; AD1, 6 bands; AD2, 6 bands; AE, 8 bands and sometimes 9 bands; D1E, 6 bands and sometimes 7 bands; and D2E, 6 bands. The position of the fourth D band is distinctly different in D1 vs. D2 types.Journal Paper No. J-5937 of Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station, Ames.

Triton X-100 can be used to clarify vague immunoprecipitin lines from bacterial antigens; however, non-immunological precipitation can lead to mistaken interpretation of immunodiffusion results. If Triton X-100 is added directly to the gel during preparation rather than to the antigen well, this detergent artifact can be eliminated. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare the cytologic characteristics of gastric mucosal cell smears prepared by air drying and rehydration prior to alcohol fixing with cells wet fixed in alcohol. STUDY DESIGN: Gastric mucosal cells were obtained from 55 consecutive patients undergoing gastroscopy. Paired smears were made, one immediately fixed in 95% ethanol for 20 minutes (wet fixed [WF]) and the other air dried for at least 20 minutes prior to rehydration with normal saline for 30 seconds and fixation in 95% ethanol for 20 minutes (air dried/rehydrated/fixed [ARF]). Both slides were stained by the Papanicolaou method. Coded slides were examined blind and graded 1 (superior), 2 (satisfactory) or 3 (poor) with respect to staining of chromatin, nuclear membrane, nucleoli, cytoplasm/cell border and group morphology. Histology confirmed a benign disease process or normal mucosa. RESULTS: Comparing grade 1 versus grades 2 and 3, ARF slides were significantly better than WF slides for all cytologic features (P < .05). Comparing grade 1 and 2 versus grade 3, there was no significant difference between ARF and WF slides (P > .05) (chi 2 analysis). CONCLUSION: The cytologic features of ARF smears of gastric cells were equal or superior to those of WF smears. This method of preparing smears is simpler and avoids some of the problems of ethanol fixation of wet smears. 相似文献

Summary An alternative method for transforming sweet organe [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] has been developed. Plasmid DNA encoding the non-destructive selectable marker enhanced green fluorescent protein
gene was introduced using polyethylene glycol into protoplasts of ‘Itaborai’ sweet organe isolated from an embryogenic nucellar-derived
suspension culture. Following protoplast culture in liquid medium and transfer to solid medium, transformed calluses were
identified via expression of the green fluorescent protein, physically separated from non-transformed tissue, and cultured on somatic embryogenesis
induction medium. Transgenic plantlets were recovered from germinating somatic embryos and by in vitro rooting of shoots. To expedite transgenic plant recovery, regenerated shoots were also micrografted onto sour orange seedling
rootstocks. Presence of the transgene in calluses and regenerated sweet organe plants was verified by gene amplification and
Southern analyses. Potential advantages of this transformation system over the commonly used Agrobacterium methods for citrus are discussed. 相似文献
