Environmental DNA (eDNA) surveying has potential to become a powerful tool for sustainable parasite control. As trematode parasites require an intermediate snail host that is often aquatic or amphibious to fulfil their lifecycle, water-based eDNA analyses can be used to screen habitats for the presence of snail hosts and identify trematode infection risk areas. The aim of this study was to identify climatic and environmental factors associated with the detection of Galba truncatula eDNA. Fourteen potential G. truncatula habitats on two farms were surveyed over a 9-month period, with eDNA detected using a filter capture, extraction and PCR protocol with data analysed using a generalized estimation equation. The probability of detecting G. truncatula eDNA increased in habitats where snails were visually detected, as temperature increased, and as water pH decreased (P < 0.05). Rainfall was positively associated with eDNA detection in watercourse habitats on farm A, but negatively associated with eDNA detection in watercourse habitats on farm B (P < 0.001), which may be explained by differences in watercourse gradient. This study is the first to identify factors associated with trematode intermediate snail host eDNA detection. These factors should be considered in standardized protocols to evaluate the results of future eDNA surveys.

Excessive I in the diet of pregnant sheep can reduce the concentration of antibodies in the blood plasma of the lambs after they have consumed colostrum. Our aim was to determine the dose of dietary I that would avoid this effect, and to relate this to changes in the concentrations of hormones and metabolites in the lambs. Four groups of pregnant ewes received concentrate containing 5·5, 9·9, 14·8, and 21·0 mg I/kg DM, respectively. Hay and molasses (containing 0·16 and 0·29 mg I/kg DM, respectively) were available ad libitum. The lambs were prevented from suckling for the first 24 h of life and were fed a fixed quantity of artificial colostrum in four feeds. At 24 h, the average plasma concentrations of immunoglobulin G in the lambs were 6·08, 5·06, 3·18 and 3·10 g/l for the 5·5, 9·9, 14·8 and 21·0 mg/kg groups, respectively. Supplementation with I was associated with higher levels of tri-iodothyronine and thyroxine in the lambs at birth. There was no effect of treatment on the plasma concentrations of insulin, cortisol, glucose or NEFA in the lambs. The concentration of dietary I that had an effect on the immunoglobulin concentration in the lambs is marginally above the levels added to commercial concentrate feeds; we tentatively identify 9·9 mg I/kg DM (approximately 9 mg I/ewe per day) as the upper safe limit of I supplementation according to the criterion of the concentration of immunoglobulin G in the plasma of lambs at 24 h after birth.

To study the effect of growth hormone (GH) on the functions of mammary epithelia, we examined the effect of GH on the synthesis and secretion of α-casein in a bovine mammary epithelial cell (BMEC) clonal line, which was established from a 26-d-pregnant Holstein heifer. GH receptors (GHR) were observed in the BMEC on the membrane as well as in the cytoplasm. After BMEC were plated onto cell culture inserts, GH stimulated α-casein release in both the presence and absence of the lactogenic hormone complex, which included dexamethasone, insulin and prolactin (DIP). DIP enhanced the effect of GH on α-casein release. Although αs1-casein mRNA expression was not detected in untreated control cells, its expression was observed in BMEC in response to the GH, DIP and GH+DIP treatments. Expression was greater for GH and GH+DIP than for just DIP. Expression of GHR mRNA was increased by DIP treatment, while the mRNA expression was little changed by GH treatment. We conclude that GH acts on BMEC and induces the expression of both the α-casein gene and protein. GHR gene expression was shown to be regulated by DIP and GHR. GHR may be involved in a synergic effect between GH and DIP on casein secretion. These results suggest that GH, in addition to its widely accepted homeorhetic role in vivo, also can act on the mammary parenchyma, and that the effects of GH on mammary epithelial cells could partly account for the clear galactopoietic effect of recombinant bovine GH seen in lactating dairy cows.

The aim of the study was to establish in vitro a bovine mammary epithelial cell (MEC) clone, able to respond to mitogenic growth factors and to lactogenic hormones. Mammary tissue from a 200-d pregnant Holstein cow was used as a source of MEC, from which a clone was established through a process of limiting dilution. When plated on plastic, the cells assumed a monolayer, cobblestone, epithelial-like morphology, with close contact between cells. Inclusion of IGF-1 and EGF in the media significantly increased the number of cells 5 d after plating. All cells stained strongly for cytokeratin and moderately for vimentin at young and old passage stages, indicating the epithelial nature of this cell clone. When the cells were plated at a high density on a thin layer of a commercial extracellular matrix preparation (Matrigel), lobular, alveoli-like structures developed within approximately 5 d, with a clearly visible lumen. When cells were plated onto Matrigel in differentiation media (containing lactogenic hormones), detectable quantities of α-casein were present in the media and particularly on the lumen side of the structures. Omission of one of the lactogenic hormones (insulin, prolactin or hydrocortisone) reduced α-casein release to the limit of detection of the assay used. Lactoferrin was also produced when the cells were plated on Matrigel, again principally on the lumen side of the lobules, though this was independent of the lactogenic hormones. By passage 40, the cells had senesced, and it was not possible to induce α-casein or lactoferrin production. This study notes the establishment of a functional bovine mammary epithelial cell clone, which is responsive to mitogenic and lactogenic hormones and an extracellular matrix.

We present a device fabrication technology and measurement results of both optically pumped and electrically injected InGaN/GaN-based distributed feedback (DFB) lasers operated at room temperature. For the optically pumped DFB laser, we demonstrate a complex coupling scheme for the first time, whereas the electrically injected device is based on normal index coupling. Threshold currents as low as 1.1 A were observed in 500 μm long and 10 μm wide devices. The 3rd order grating providing feedback was defined holographically and dry-etched into the upper waveguiding layer by chemically-assisted ion beam etching. Even when operating these lasers considerably above threshold, a spectrally narrow emission (3.5 Å) at wavelengths around 400 nm was seen.

Our aim was to determine the effect of growth hormone on non-insulin-mediated glucose disposal in lactating dairy cows. Following 5 d of subcutaneous injections of either saline or growth hormone, insulin, somatostatin or insulin plus somatostatin were infused for 2 h each, in a series of experiments. Coincident with this, unlabelled glucose was infused at a variable rate to maintain a constant plasma glucose concentration. Glucose, doubly labelled with deuterium, was also infused for the calculations of glucose turnover. Plasma insulin levels were reduced to nearly zero by the infusion of somatostatin; under such conditions whole body glucose disposal should be non-insulin-mediated. Dairy cows treated with growth hormone, which had significantly increased milk yields on the day before the experimental infusions, did not have different levels of whole body non-insulin-mediated glucose disposal when expressed in absolute terms. Growth hormone did not affect non-mammary non-insulin-mediated glucose uptake estimated by calculation. Growth hormone significantly inhibited insulin-mediated glucose uptake when plasma insulin levels were elevated. Glucose uptake during insulin plus somatostatin infusion was not significantly different from that of the insulin only infusion.

Four mid-lactation Holstein dairy cows (mean milk yield on day of experiments 26·1 kg/d) were used in a series of experiments to establish the contribution of non-insulin-mediated glucose uptake to total glucose uptake at basal insulin concentrations. A secondary objective was to determine whether somatostatin affects the action of infused insulin. In part I of the experiment a primed continuous infusion of [6,6-2H]glucose (45·2 μg/kg per min) was begun at time 0 and continued for 5 h. After 3 h of [6,6-2H]glucose infusion (basal period) a primed continuous infusion of insulin (0·001 i.u./kg per min) was administered for 2 h. Coincident with the insulin infusion, normal glucose was also infused in order to maintain the plasma glucose concentration at euglycaemia. Part II of the experiment was the same as part I except that somatostatin was infused for 2 h (0·333 μg/kg per min) instead of insulin. In part III of the experiment both insulin and somatostatin were infused for the final 2 h. Plasma insulin levels were increased by insulin infusion (to 0·1476 and 0·1290 i.u./l for parts I and III respectively) and were reduced by somatostatin infusion in part II (to 0·006 i.u./l) relative to the basal periods (mean 0·021 i.u./l). Glucose uptake during somatostatin infusion (2·50 mg/kg per min; part II) was 92·0% of that observed in the respective basal period (2·72 mg/kg per min). Circulating insulin levels were much lower than the dose of insulin that causes a half maximal effect on glucose uptake (0·06–0·10 i.u./l for ruminants); consequently insulin-mediated glucose uptake was probably absent in part II. Secondly, glucose uptake following insulin only infusion (4·05 mg/kg per min) was significantly lower than that observed when insulin plus somatostatin was infused (4·69 mg/kg per min), indicating that somatostatin either directly or indirectly enhanced the action of insulin on glucose uptake.
