    Objective] The porcine interferon alpha 1 gene (PoIFNα-1) was expressed by using Escherichia coli prokaryotic expression system, and polyclonal antibodies against the recombinant protein PoIFNα-1 were prepared. [Method] The codon-optimized PoIFNα-1 gene was synthesized according to the nucleotide sequence published by GenBank, and then the synthesized PoIFNα-1 gene was cloned into the vector pET-28a. After transformation of the recombinant plasmid into E. coli BL21 (DE3) host bacteria, the recombinant bacterium was induced by using IPTG. After purification of the recombinant protein PoIFNα-1 expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3), the polyclonal antibodies against the recombinant protein PoIFNα-1 was prepared in Kunming mice, and then reactivity of the prepared polyclonal antibodies with native porcine interferon alpha 1 was determined by Western blot. [Result] The synthesized PoIFNα-1 gene was successfully expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3), and the polyclonal antibody against recombinant protein PoIFNα-1 could recognize the native porcine interferon-α-1. [Conclusion] The synthesized PoIFNα-1 gene was successfully expressed in E. coli, which provided some basis for following further research of antivirus.

    The aim of this study was to observe the biological characteristics of goat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Samples were collected from goat and the BMSCs were isolated and cultured. RT-PCR was used to verify the stem cell properties of the isolated cells by detecting the stem cell transcription factor oct4 gene and sox2 gene. Furthermore, the growth curve of the identified BMSCs was drawn. The results showed that the BMSCs exhibited primary fibroblast and were able to express the oct4 gene and sox2 gene, which proved its characteristics of stem cells. The growth curve of BMSCs was shown as ‘S’ type, the 1st and 2nd day when the cells were cultured were the incubation period, the 3rd day was the exponential growth phase, and the growth of the cells entered platform phase after the 7th day. It was indicated that the isolated cells were BMSCs and can be used for the subsequent study.

    Bacterial infection was the main cause of cow endometritis, and antibacterial treatment was commonly used to treat this disease in the veterinary clinic. However,the drug resistance, drug residues and other problems were easily caused by the antibacterial treatment. Therefore, development of Chinese herbal medicine with high efficiency, low toxicity and low residue would provide a new therapeutic method for the treatment of cow endometritis. 8 kinds of single compound formulae, 6 kinds of water decoction formulae and 12 kinds of Chinese and western compound formulae were designed. The antibacterial activities of the above formulae to three main pathogenic bacteria of cow endometritis (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and streptococcus) were determined by drug sensitivity test. The optimum formula was optimized as formula 7A (a kind of Chinese and western compound formula). Formula 7A had better antibacterial effects on three main pathogenic bacteria, and it was expected to be used as the treatment drugs for cow endometritis in veterinary clinic.

    In order to study the effects of liquid nano-vitamin on the production performance and carcass quality of pigs, 80 healthy finishing pigs with the body weight of about 20 kg were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups, with 4 repetitions in each group (5 pigs in each repetition). In control group ,the pigs were fed with the basic diet. And the pigs in three experimental groups were fed with the basic diet supplemented with solid vitamin,ordinary liquid vitamin and liquid nano-vitamin. The experimental was ended when the weights of pigs were up to about 100 kg and the carcass quality indices of pigs were determined. The results showed that the addition of vitamin had significant effects on the daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio, carcass lean percentage, loin eye area and the back-fat thickness of pigs. And the effects of liquid nano-vitamin were significantly better than that of solid vitamin and ordinary liquid vitamin. The effects of ordinary liquid vitamin were better than that of solid vitamin, but there was no difference. Therefore, liquid nano-vitamin could significantly enhance the production performance and improve the carcass quality of pigs, compared with other kinds of vitamin.

    Using the conventional chemical analysis technology, the contaminant content in wastewater from different treating stages in two representative large-scale pig farms in Guangxi was determined and they were compared with the national discharged standards. The changes of contamination indices in every treating link were investigated, so as to provide references for taking according measures for energy conservation and emission reduction in the livestock breeding. Contaminants indices included suspended solids (SS), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), BOD5 and chemical oxygen demand (CODcr). The results showed that the wastewater discharged from Farm 1 after applying wastewater treatment technology was substandard,but the wastewater discharged from Farm 2 reached standard. Wastewater could be purified by plants grew in the pond. And the suspended solids (SS)could be effectively reduced by the treatment in the settling tank and secondary sedimentation tank.

    ORF is a serious infectious disease that had serious harm to sheep industry. Its pathogen is ORF virus, which mainly infects the lips, nostrils, eyes and surrounding skins of animals. Then papules and pustules appear and ORF has some influences on the milk-sucking of young animals and feed intake of adult animals. This disease occurs throughout the whole year, but it is particularly serious in spring and summer. ORF spreads fast and had wide spreading range. And it is widely prevalent around the world. And ORF has brought huge losses to the sheep industry. The etiology, epidemiology, clinical symptoms, laboratory diagnosis, prevention and treatment measures of ORF were reviewed, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of ORF.
