Abstract

African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious diseases in domestic pigs and wild boars with up to 100% mortality. ASF virus (ASFV) is a causative agent responsible for ASF and highly resistant in environments, which creates a significant challenge for the control and eradication of the virus. Despite the geographical expansion of ASFV and internationalmovement of products to sustain the swine production system, there is limited knowledge on the use of environmental samples to perform surveillance to prevent the introduction of ASFV into ASFV-free areas and for control of transmission in affected areas. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and optimize sampling techniques for environmental samples for ASFV detection. The stainless steel surfaces were contaminated with ASFV-infected blood, swabbed using different devices, and then processed through different techniques. The environmental samples were processed and tested using qPCR analysis. The results showed that the use of pre-moistened gauze surgical sponges, sweeping pads, and sponge sticks resulted in increased sensitivity, when compared to either dry sampling devices or Dacron swab. In particular, the combination of the sponge stick and the commercial nucleic acid preservative supported the best detection of ASFV DNA on the clean stainless steel surfaces evaluated. Pre-incubation for the short period of time and centrifugation at low speed were sufficient to provide satisfactory diagnostic sensitivity of ASFV detection using qPCR for environmental samples. Our findings contribute to the development of techniques for environmental samples for ASFV surveillance to prevent the introduction and dissemination of ASFV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

5. Skeletal Muscle Metabolism Is Dynamic during Porcine Postnatal Growth.

Abstract

Skeletal muscle metabolism has implications for swine feed efficiency (FE); however, it remains unclear if the metabolic profile of skeletal muscle changes during postnatal growth. To assess the metabolic changes, samples were collected from the longissimus dorsi (LD, glycolytic muscle), latissimus dorsi (LAT, mixed muscle), and masseter (MS, oxidative muscle) at 20, 53, 87, 120, and 180 days of age from barrows. Muscles were assessed to determine the abundance of several metabolic enzymes. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDHα) decreased in all muscles from 20 to 87 d (p < 0.01), which may be attributed to the muscles being more glycolytic at weaning from a milk-based diet. Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) increased in all muscles at 53 d compared to the other time points (p < 0.01), while pyruvate dehydrogenase α 1 (PDHα1) increased at 87 and 180 d in MS compared to LD (p < 0.05), indicating that potential changes occur in pyruvate entry into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle during growth. Isolated mitochondria from each muscle were incubated with 13C-labeled metabolites to assess isotopomer enrichment patterns of TCA intermediates. Citrate M + 2 and M + 4 derived from [13C3]-pyruvate increased at 87 d in LAT and MS mitochondria compared to LD mitochondria (p < 0.05). Regardless of the muscle, citrate M+3 increased at 87 d compared to 20, 53, and 120 d, while 180 d showed intermediate values (p < 0.01). These data support the notion that pyruvate metabolism is dynamic during growth. Our findings establish a metabolic fingerprint associated with postnatal muscle hypertrophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

6. Implementing a Species-Specific Undergraduate Research Program

Author

Lerner, Annie B., Tokach, Mike D., DeRouchey, Joel M., Woodworth, Jason C., Dritz, Steve S., Goodband, Robert D., and Jones, Cassandra K.

Abstract

Undergraduate research experiences have well-established benefits on undergraduate education, such as improved critical thinking, professional development, and increased interest in graduate studies. In addition, the host faculty can benefit by increasing their research impact and gaining exposure to potential graduate candidates. In the production animal science field (study of domestic livestock raised for meat, milk, or fiber), research also allows for additional livestock handling experience outside of the classroom, which is critical for students without agricultural backgrounds. At Kansas State University, the swine ("Sus scrofa domesticus") nutrition research group developed a swine-specific undergraduate research program. Several different models for projects are in place to maximize the research experience for students. Steps in the process include recruitment, initial student evaluation, project execution, presentation, evaluation, and post-graduate status update. There are several key roles in this training process. Graduate students serve as mentors and benefit from leadership training and development of interpersonal and managerial skills. Evidence collected after students have completed the program reiterates the importance of exposing students to not only the scientific method, but the swine and feed industries. Many of the students who complete projects ultimately pursue graduate or veterinary degrees, whereas those who choose nonresearch-related careers recognize the value of research and appreciate exposure to the swine industry. This case study will outline aspects of a swine-specific undergraduate research program, which can be applied to any life sciences discipline.
