Salmonella pullorum is known as the cause of pullorum disease (PD), which can be contagious through egg and is characterized by enteritis and white diarrhea symptoms with high mortality in chicks. However, infected adult chicken becomes no symptomatic carrier and infects the chicks via eggs. Thus, PD elimination becomes one of the important issues in poultry industry. A total of 2207 chickens propagated from Chicken Farm/TLRI/COA in 2001 were screen for PD free prior to selection, which including four inbred lines (185 and 435 birds of L7, 220 and 543 birds of L9, 141 and 821 birds of L11, and 812 and 408 birds of L12 for cocks and hens, respectively). The diagnostic test used was serum agglutination test to eliminate the reactors from the breeding flocks. After serum separated whole blood sample, 25 ul diagnostic antigen obtained from National Veterinary Research Institute/Council of Agriculture was added and mixed thoroughly with 25 ul bird serum by use of the tip of the serum pipette. The bird was classified as positive reactor if agglutination occurred within one minute and negative otherwise. Frequencies of positive were 11.4% and 16.6% (L7), 8.2% and 8.5% (L9), 9.2% and 15.0% (L11), 2.2% and 11.8% (L12) for cocks and hens, respectively. Results indicated that the L7 had the highest infection rate in both cocks and hens among lines considered in this study; L12 and L9 showed the lowest contagious rates in cocks and hens, respectively. Also, negative hens had better laying performance than those of positive ones in terms of egg number produced up to 40 weeks of age (62.7 vs. 59.6 eggs, P<0.01).

Key Words: Pullorum disease (PD), Positive frequency, Egg number.

For understanding the reproductive characteristics of Taoyuan breed, five hundred twenty-nine litters data farrowed from 288 Taoyuan sows in pig farm of conservation since March 20 of 1986 until June 8 of 2001 were used to analysis average total number of piglets at birth (TNB) and number of piglets born alive (NBA). We calculated the average age of primiparity and farrowing interval between two neighbor litters according to the conditions that the age of primiparity was under 730 days and farrowing interval between two neighbor litters was under 365 days. Then 2-3 estrus cycles of 15 Taoyuan sows were investigated, and the average duration of oestrus cycle was calculated. Finally, the average lifespan of Taoyuan breeding stock was calculated from birthday to the date of death of 98 boars and 31 sows. The results of investigation of TBN and NBA, except primiparity, TBN was 9.3 heads, the other parities (2-7 parities) were above 10 heads. The NBA of all parity were above 6.7 heads, the secondary parity was 8.1 heads and was the best one. The average age of primiparity was 649.2 days, and average farrowing interval between two neighbor litters was from 183 to 213 days. The average duration of oestrus cycle in Taoyuan sow was 22.2 days (n=25). The average lifespan of Taoyuan boar and sow were 1350.6 days and 1104.2 days, respectively. There was no significant difference between boar and sow, but the longest lifespan was 4492 days for sow and 2815 days for boar.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth performances of F3 generation in Meishan (M) and Duroc (D) crosses pigs for selection reference. Pigs evaluated including progeny of F2, expressed as md and dm for MDMD and MDDM, respectively, which were obtained from intercrossing of M and D crosses. There were four groups of F3 pigs tested which mdmd, mddm, dmmd and dmdm being the progeny of md sows sired by md boars, md sows sired by dm boars, md sows sired by dm boars and dm sows sired by dm boars, respectively. A total of 202 boars and 326 gilts were growth performances tested during 70 an 210 days of age, which including 50 boars and 87 gilts of mdmd, 48 boars and 72 gilts of mddm, 52 boars and 64 gilts of dmmd, and 52 boars and 86 gilts of dmdm crosses, respectively. Traits evaluated were body weights at 70 (W70), 90 (W90), 120 (W120), 150 (W150), 180 (W180) and 210 (W210) days of age, and averaged backfat thickness at 150 (BF150), 180 (BF180) and 210 (BF210) days of age which were measured at 5 cm from dorsal line of the fifth and the last ribs, as well as the last lumbar. Boars were tested individually and the corresponding feed efficiency during testing period was also evaluated. Since gilts were group housed, feed consumed information was lacked. Result showed that mdmd gilts weighed heavier at 180 and 210 days of age than those of mddm and dmdm gilts (P<0.001). Significant thinner backfat measures at 180 and 210 days of age were found in dmdm gilts than those of obtained from mdmd and dmmd gilts(P<0.01). Furthermore, mdmd boars had thicker backfat at 180 and 210 days of age than those measured in mddm and dmdm pigs (P<0.01). Similar trend also observed at body weight at 210 days of age (P<0.05).

Taiwan Livestock Research Institute, Council of Agriculture

The estrogen receptor (ESR) locus is known to be associated with litter size in pig. Favorable effects of B allele reported were 0.42 and 0.31 for litter size at birth in first and later parities, respectively. A total of 136 animals (101 sows and 35 boars) from F2 of Meishan and Duroc crosses were genotyped at the ESR locus and evaluated for littering performances including litter sizes at birth (LS), born alive (LSA), at 3-week-age (LS3) and at weaning (LSW), and averaged individual weights at birth (BWT), at 3-week-age (WT3) and at weaning (WWT). Data were analyzed using a linear model including the fixed effects of breed composite, parity of sow and ESR genotypes of sow and boar as well as interaction between ESR genotypes of sow and boar. Interaction between ESR genotypes of sow and boar had significant effects on LS (p=0.0407), LSA (p=0.0184) and LS3 (p=0.0211) and a nominally significant effect on WWT (p=0.0535). AA sows sired by BB boars produced larger litters (LS, LSA, LS3 and LSW) when compared to those sired by AB boars. Similar trend was also observed in AB sows. However, it was not the case in BB sows.

Body conformation is highly associates with lean meat production in pig. Breeders did not select the replacement based on selection index only which could be verified by the inconsistence between auction price and selection index. To provide adequate animal origin protein, growth traits improvement gained more attention than body conformation in pigs during the past three decades. Thus, neither conformation score for pig judging is available nor is practiced in breeding strategy in Taiwan. Since full-sib gilts completed test can participate the auction by the new modified breeding system recently. Followed by the conclusion obtained from the eighth swine improvement meeting held in TLRI, a pig judging system should be developed and conducted with performance test procedure. Therefore, top one-third of off-test pigs were judged within breed and gender class. Maximum nine pigs were ranked for the first judge and three were chosen for final ranking and judging statement. Information including pig judging results (positive terms in head, body, legs, feet and movement) and image files was provided in the web site (http://www.angrin.tlri.gov.tw) for buyers’ references before auction.

To understand gene frequencies of estrogen receptor Locus of commercial pure breeds, 2102 sows, including 723 Landrances, 120 Yorkshires and 1259 Durocs, were blood sampled from 19 breeding farms in year 2001 and 2002. The estrogen receptor (ESR) locus in swine was mapped at p-arm of chromosome one with two alleles, A and B. Literature indicated that BB homozygotic sows produced 1.0 and 1.5 more piglets at birth and born alive, respectively than did AA homozygotes. And thus, B allele of ESR locus is generally recognized as prolific gene. Both mutagenically separated polymerase chain reaction (MS-PCR) technique tested and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis were used to test each sample to increase the accuracy of results. The gene frequencies for prolific gene B allele were 0.07 for Landrance, 0.28 for Yorkshire and 0.010 for Duroc, respectively.

For genetic and breeding practices, Matvec and Octave were used to develop program sets, which included programs of selection indices, generalized linear mixed model, genome sequence analysis and DNA bands summaries. Matvec was developed by Wang and Fernando (1995) at University of Illinois(UIUC). Octave was a GNU software. Matvec and Octave have both Window and Linux versions, which are free for research purpose. Because Matvec was developed from a quantitative geneticist point of view, therefore inbreeding coefficients, mixed models and variance components estimation were built-in elements. Octave with more functions for character and string operation is very handy for genome sequence analysis, and Octave is highly compatibility with m-files as of Matlab. Researchers can fasten together benefits of Matvec and Octave to achieve genetic and breeding goals.

A total of eight microsatellite markers on swine chromosome 1 (SSC1) were used to genotype 157 parous sows. These markers 1including SW1514, SW552, SW2185, SW1301, SW373, SW780, S0316 and SW2130 spanned about 140 cM on the linkage map of SSC1. Three traits including the number of total piglets, the number of piglets alive and the survival rate of piglets were analyzed. The genotyping analysis indicated that the allele frequency of every marker differed among four breeds. When we further analyzed the litter performance of sows with different alleles by the least-square method showed that the number of total piglets born from Duroc sows with B3 allele were significantly more than those without such an allele, and so did B1 allele of SW1301. For Landrace sows with B5 allele of SW373 and Duroc sows with B3 allele of SW1514, the number of alive piglets were significantly more than that without such an allele. In the same way, the trait of litter performance of different breed sows with some alleles would be inferior to those without such alleles.

A genetic test screened DNA mixes of tank milk from 72 DHI herds. Results showed 65 herds had at least one cow carrying BLAD(bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency) defect gene but none of 72 herds had any DUMPS (deficiency of uridine monophosphate synthase syndrome) carriers found. Four herds with uncertain typing results for BLAD test, two were extracted from fresh tank milk and the other two were from used DHI samples. The somatic cell counts were 118、200、209、940 103/ml, respectively. Milk storage period, somatic cell counts and added preventives were not important factors for test sensitivity. The high frequency of BLAD carrier farms indicated continuous selection of TL (tested free of BLAD) bull and semen for breeding DHI cows is important. Genetic test by tank milk is an economic approach to monitor genetic status of dairy population efficiently.

Caprine Mucopolysaccharidosis IIID, or N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfatase deficiency (G6S), is a recessive inherited disorder in goat. To explore the impact of G6S on goat industry, a total of 61 samples collected from private goat farm of eastern Taiwan in 1998, were tested. Samples represented Nubian (18 females and 2 males), Toggenburg (16 females and 4 males) and Taiwan native goat (20 females and 1 male). Five carrier goats were found in 20 Nubian with frequency being 25%. No carrier was found in Toggenburg or Taiwan native goat. Further screen were performed by 141 blood DNA samples from all Nubian goats’ of the farm in Aug. 2002. The frequency of carried was 15%(21/141) which explores risk of high frequency of G-6-S of Taiwan Nubians existed. No affected individual, homozygous recessive goat, was found in this trial. Nubian is one of the major resource goat breeds for meat production in Taiwan, and thus the corresponding frequency of G6S deserves to gain more attention.
