Method for improving pregnancy labor rate of cloned recipient sow
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mammal reproduction, in particular to a method for improving pregnancy labor rate of cloned recipient sows.
Background
The somatic cell cloning technology refers to a technology of preparing cloned animals by performing inhibition culture on animal somatic cells to make the cells in a dormant state, adopting a nuclear transfer method, taking oocyte enucleation as a nuclear receptor, taking somatic cells or cell nuclei containing a small amount of cytoplasm as a nuclear donor, transferring the latter into the former to construct a recombinant embryo, reprogramming the donor nuclei in cytoplasm of the enucleated oocyte, starting cleavage, starting embryo development and gestation farrowing, and producing the cloned animals, which is also called somatic cell nuclear transfer technology. The somatic cell cloning technology can replicate excellent livestock, produce transgenic livestock, prepare animal disease model, isolate embryo stem cell, etc. and has great application value in agriculture and medicine. More than 20 mammals such as sheep, cattle, mice, pigs, rabbits, horses and the like have been successfully cloned at present, but the technology still has some unresolved problems, and the outstanding problem is that the birth efficiency of cloned animals is low, and most cloned embryos die in gestation. At present, the whole-period development efficiency of cloned embryos of pigs is only about 0.1-1%, and the popularization and application of somatic cell cloning technology in pig industry are seriously hindered by low cloning efficiency.
At present, the mainstream view points are that the abnormal development of cloned embryos is caused by the dedifferentiation, totipotency recovery and apparent genetic reprogramming abnormality in the process of starting embryo development, which are experienced by somatic cell genome in oocyte, so that the blastula rate is lower, but the latest researches show that even higher blastula rate can not obtain higher pregnancy delivery rate, so that the problem of lower pregnancy delivery rate of cloned embryos also needs more scientific discovery. In view of the current state of the art limitations, in vitro cloned embryos and in vitro fertilized embryos must be transferred to recipient sows to develop normally into complete individuals. How to ensure the normal implantation and development of the embryo is an important factor affecting the final efficiency of embryo transfer. Embryo implantation and development are closely related to the feeding management of recipient sows after embryo transfer, fat condition, physiological condition and embryo transfer.
In order to improve the pregnancy rate and the litter size of somatic cell clone embryo transfer, the number of transferred embryos is generally up to 200-300, and only about 20 embryos are needed for conception of common sows. The pregnancy rate of cloned embryo acceptor sow is generally 20-50%, the number of born is 2-6, and the whole cloning efficiency is 0.1-1%. Because the cloned embryo development is different from that of the common embryo, the corresponding breeding management measures such as recipient sow selection, sow hormone treatment, oestrus, embryo transfer preoperative management, embryo transfer operation and postoperative care, gestation feeding, recipient sow delivery, cloned piglet birth care and the like are different, so that better overall cloning efficiency is convenient to obtain.
Iron is one of important microelements in animal organism metabolism, and participates in physiological and biochemical processes such as electron transfer, oxidative phosphorylation and the like. Iron is also a component of ribonucleotide reductase and is involved in DNA synthesis in cells. Most of iron exists in the body in the form of hemoglobin, which is the main component of red blood cells and is the most important carrier for the body to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide. The hemoglobin content may reflect the body's iron steady state. Iron intake or absorption deficiency can lead to iron deficiency anemia characterized by decreased red blood cell count, decreased hemoglobin content, loss of appetite, drowsiness, increased respiratory rate, and severe anemia leading to death. The study shows that the sow hemoglobin level is in negative genetic correlation with the weight of the primary piglets and in positive genetic correlation with the survival rate of the piglets. Studies show that the hemoglobin content of pregnant sows is in negative linear correlation with reproductive performance. The iron content and biological potency of the feed material is low, and iron supplements are often added in commercial production to avoid iron deficiency.
The Chinese patent 201510261676.0 provides a method for improving the production performance of sows, which comprises daily management of gestation houses, gestation breeding, drug health care and conventional immunity in gestation, particularly the method for carrying out refined breeding management on gestation breeding and drug health care can obviously improve the survival rate and the healthy young rate of the sows, the survival rate reaches more than 98%, the average number of the sows is 12-14, the lactation capacity of the sows in the postnatal lactation period is high, the milk quality is high, the lactation peak period can be prolonged, the birth weight and the disease resistance of the newborn piglets are enhanced, and the method has great application prospect.
Chinese patent 201810465160.1 discloses a peptide chelated iron compound preparation for improving the production performance of sows and piglets, which is characterized by comprising the following components in percentage by mass: 15-25 parts of peptide chelated iron, 25-35 parts of probiotics and 10-15 parts of yeast cell wall. The invention has reasonable compatibility, shows a synergistic effect, not only can replace injection to supplement iron for piglets, but also can obviously increase milk yield of sows, improve feed utilization rate and immunity of sows and piglets, and has the advantages of increasing survival rate of piglets at birth, promoting animal growth, obviously improving productivity of sows and piglets, and the like.
At present, the iron supplement is divided into three types of inorganic salt iron, organic acid chelated iron and amino acid chelated iron, and the organic iron source in the prior art has limited effect in promoting the reproductive performance of sows, so that the research and development of the iron supplement with good digestion and absorption effects and high bioavailability has a certain market prospect in improving the pregnancy rate of cloned receptor sows.

Transfer of iron to the fetus by pregnant sows is partly achieved by uterine transferrin, a yellow leader protein secreted by the uterus, which is thought to be one cause of anemia in newborn piglets in the late gestation stage. Serum iron is the lowest in the late gestation period of the sow, and the fetal serum iron level tends to decrease during the gestation period at the time of the efficiency of transferring iron to the fetus, and the level of red blood cell packed plasma iron ions is positively correlated with fetal weight and placenta efficiency. Therefore, the farrowing rate of sows in gestation period and the survival rate of piglets are affected by iron. In the invention, the inventor prepares the iron complex and then complexes with mannose under alkaline condition to obtain the organic iron chelating agent, and the chelating agent has good water solubility, high absorptivity and stable structure, so that the chelating agent can be absorbed in intestinal tracts without being easily damaged, the utilization rate is greatly improved, the iron element can be fully absorbed in pregnant sows, the phenomena of anemia and the like can not occur when piglets are born, and the survival rate is higher. The invention also manages different feeding amounts of sows in gestation period so as to control the weight of the sows in production, thereby reducing the phenomena of difficult labor, stillbirth and the like caused by overweight or light weight and further improving the delivery rate.
The preparation method of the organic iron chelating agent comprises the following steps:
weighing 5-6 parts by weight of 2-aminomethylpyridine and 4-6 parts by weight of triethylamine, adding into 4-10 parts by weight of ethanol, adding 7-9 parts by weight of 3-bromopropionic acid, heating to 70-90 ℃, stirring for 20-30 hours, cooling to room temperature after the reaction is finished, filtering, washing residues with acetonitrile, and concentrating to dryness to obtain 3-pyridine-methylaminopropionic acid;
x2, weighing 2-3 parts by weight of 3-pyridine-methylaminopropionic acid and 2-3 parts by weight of tetramethylammonium hydroxide in the step X1, adding 10-20 parts by weight of methanol, adding 3-4 parts by weight of ferrous chloride tetrahydrate, stirring for 1-4 hours, filtering, pouring the filtrate into diethyl ether, precipitating, and filtering and drying after 7d to obtain an iron complex;
and X3, weighing 5-6 parts by weight of mannose oligomer, adding 25-30 parts by weight of water to dissolve the mannose oligomer, adding 0.5mol/L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution to adjust the pH to 9-10, stirring and uniformly mixing, keeping the pH to be 9-10 by 5-6 parts by weight of the iron complex in the step X2, adding two times of volume of absolute ethanol for ethanol precipitation, centrifuging at 4000-5000rpm for 5-10min, continuously centrifuging the lower precipitate after 2 times of volume of absolute ethanol precipitation, and freeze-drying the lower precipitate to obtain the mannose-iron complex serving as an organic iron chelating agent.
Further, in the step S6, the sow after the post-operation management is fed according to the backfat condition, specifically, the backfat is less than 14mm and is fed for 2.0-2.2kg/d after the operation for 11-30d, and the backfat is fed for 1.8-2kg/d for 14-18mm; 31-85d after operation, feeding back fat less than 14mm by 2.6-2.8kg/d, feeding back fat 14-18mm by 2.0-2.2kg/d, and feeding back fat more than 18mm by 1.8-2kg/d; after 86d of operation, backfat is 18-22mm and is fed by 2.8-3kg/d.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) Due to the large number of embryos transferred into the recipient sow, insufficient hormone in the recipient sow can affect cloned embryo development and implantation conception. Therefore, hormone is additionally supplemented before and after transplantation, so that the level of hormone in the recipient sow can be maintained, an intrauterine environment which is favorable for embryo development and implantation is provided, and the pregnancy rate is further improved;
(2) After recipient sow transplantation, the main factor affecting litter size and healthy litter size is high embryo loss rate in gestation period of the sow. Therefore, the inventor supplements N-acetylglutamic acid (NCG) in gestation period, can promote endogenous arginine synthesis, and can effectively improve litter size and healthy number of sows. Simultaneously, vitamins are supplemented to promote the uterine dilatation and placenta formation in gestation, increase the uterine horn length and the placenta surface area, better provide nutrition for the fetus and promote the growth and development of the fetus;
(3) In the gestation period feeding management of pregnant sows, the effect of adjusting the feeding amount according to the backfat condition is that: if the gestation period is too thin, nutrition supply of the fetus is affected, so that weak or malformed fetus and dead fetus are increased; too thin can also lead to insufficient physical energy storage of the sow, so that the sow is powerless in farrowing, difficult in production and even choking death of the fetal pig; the overfeeding of the sow can also lead to the increase of difficult yield of the prolongation of the birth process due to the overfeeding of the fetus and the narrow birth canal, so the feeding amount is timely adjusted according to the backfat, and the difficult yield of the pregnant receptor sow can be greatly reduced by keeping the moderate fat condition.

From the standpoint of sow delivery and piglet survival, it is seen that additional nutritional supplements are necessary to the sow during gestation. N-carbamylglutamic acid is a structural analogue of N-acetylglutamic acid, can promote endogenous synthesis of arginine, and arginine is metabolized in a body to generate Nitric Oxide (NO) and polyamine, so that NO can relax smooth muscle, promote capillary generation and formation, increase microcirculation of the body, improve reproductive performance of multiple fetal animals, and effectively improve litter size and birth weight of sows, so that effective litter size and survival rate of piglets of sows supplemented with N-carbamylglutamic acid are higher. The oligomannose contains many chemical bonds which are not hydrolyzed by amylase, and its structural properties and the like are not easily changed, so that it is not only resistant to hydrolysis by saliva or hydrolysis by gastric and pancreatic secretions, but also they are not absorbed or degraded in the small intestine. When the iron ions and mannose are chelated to form a stable complex, a stable chemical bond structure is formed, and the complex is not influenced by other substances, so that intestinal tracts can be smoothly reached, and the absorption rate of iron elements is improved. The intake effect of the iron element directly influences the content of hemoglobin in the pregnant sow and is also directly related to the primary weight of the piglets, so that the sow delivery rate without additionally supplementing the iron element can be seen to be poor, and the survival situation of the piglets is finally poor. However, in example 3, the sow is lean or overfertilized due to the lack of the feeding amount distinction of the pregnant sow, which is not beneficial to pregnancy and delivery, but also leads to dystocia, so that the delivery rate of the sow and the survival condition of the piglet are not ideal.
