摘要:

旨在研究剪毛应激对小尾寒羊行为和生理的影响。本试验于2015年9月1-10日,随机选取体况相近,初次剪毛的成年小尾寒羊9只公羊和13只母羊,对剪毛前后卧息、反刍、静立、移动、采食、饮水及剪毛过程中的眨眼、摆尾、抬头、鸣叫等行为进行观察,并于剪毛前后对其进行心率(HR)、呼吸(RF)、直肠体温(RT)等生理指标进行检测,剪毛前、剪毛中、剪毛结束及剪毛后颈静脉采血,检测钾(K+)、钠(Na+)、镁(Mg2+)等血液离子以及β-内啡肽(β-EP)、促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)、催乳素(PRL)、儿茶酚胺(CA)、三碘甲状腺原氨酸(T3)、四碘甲状腺原氨酸(T4)、抗利尿激素(ADH)、皮质醇(CORT)、促生长素(GH)、血糖(GLU)等相关血液代谢物质的含量。结果表明:剪毛对小尾寒羊产生了强烈的短期应激。剪毛过程中,公、母羊均表现明显的眨眼、摆尾、抬头等行为,母羊的血液ACTH和GH水平随剪毛进程表现先升高后降低,并且变化显著(P<0.05);其他血液离子和血液代谢物水平则无明显变化(P>0.05)。同时这些行为与血液指标存在性别差异,剪毛过程中,母羊眨眼和鸣叫极显著和显著多于公羊(P=0.006和0.022),剪毛结束时,公羊的血液ACTH、CA和T4含量显著或极显著高于母羊(P=0.050,0.004和0.029),剪毛结束10 min,公羊的血液ACTH和T3含量则显著高于母羊(P=0.037和0.031)。综上表明,剪毛对母羊的应激>公羊。剪毛也明显改变了小尾寒羊的行为和生理水平。与剪毛前相比,剪毛后小尾寒羊采食、饮水、反刍和移动增加,静立减少,直肠温度和呼吸频率降低,说明剪毛提高了小尾寒羊在高温环境下的适应能力。

Abstract:

To study the effects of shearing on the behavioral and physiological patterns of Small-tail Han sheep, 9 rams and 13 ewes which had similar body condition and needed the first shearing were selected to study the behavioral patterns (before, during and after shearing) and the physical indexes (before and after shearing) from September 1st to 10th, 2015. The behavior ethogram were lying, ruminating, standing, walking, foraging, drinking before and after shearing, and rising, blinking, bleating, ear shaking, tail wagging, excreting during shearing. The physical indexes measured were heart rate(HR), respiratory frequency(RF) and rectal temperature(RT). Animal were drawed and K+,Na+,Mg2+ and the blood metabolites of β-endorphin (β-EP), adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), prolactin (PRL), catecholamine(CA), triiodothyronine (T3), Triiodothyronine (T4), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), cortisol (CORT), growth hormone (GH), glucose (GLU) were measured before,during and after shearing. The results showed that shearing produced acute intensive stress to Small-tail Han sheep. Shearing increased the behavior of blinking, tail wagging, rising in ewes and rams,and the plasma ACTH and GH of ewes first increased and then decreased with the process of shearing and showed significant changes (P<0.05), the other blood ions and metabolites showed no significant changes (P>0.05). There were some differences in these parameters between male and female sheep:The more blinking and bleating occurred in ewes than that in rams during shearing(P=0.006,0.022).The significant differences in ACTH,CA,T4 between rams and ewes at the ending of shearing (P=0.050,0.004,0.029) were detected, and the contents of plasma ACTH and T3 in rams were higher than that in ewes 10 minutes after the ending of shearing (P=0.037,0.031). In comparison, the stress tolerance of rams was stronger than that of ewes. The shearing also significantly changed the behavioral patterns and physical indexes of the Small-tail Han sheep. The increasing of foraging, drinking, ruminating, walking and the decreasing of standing, rectal temperature and respiratory frequency after shearing all accounted for the improvement of the adaptability of Small-tail Han sheep in high temperature environment.
