1 Advanced needle-free injection technology. W. Shao* 1 ,C. Funk 2 , and J. Poiron 2 , 1 Sino Waypoint Consulting, Inc., Ottawa, Ontario,Canada, 2 AcuShot, Inc., Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.AcuShot patented technology is the next generation in needle-free liquidinjection dev<strong>ic</strong>es specif<strong>ic</strong>ally designed for agr<strong>ic</strong>ultural use. This technologyprovides the veterinarian and animal health care industries with revolutionaryneedle-free dev<strong>ic</strong>e cho<strong>ic</strong>es that enable spot treatment of single animals andmass vaccination of large herds of animals in a cost-effective, eff<strong>ic</strong>ient, safe,and easy-to-use format. AcuShot technology has been adopted in the AcuShotneedle-free injection dev<strong>ic</strong>e for delivering liquid med<strong>ic</strong>ation under pressureinto an animal. The AcuShot needle-free injection dev<strong>ic</strong>e is a battery-operated,high-workload, handheld, mass-vaccination injector. It can be used on ahands-free stand for smaller livestock, such as newborn piglets and poultry,or can be used with a remote injection handpiece for easy use with largerlivestock, such as the most seasoned sow or cow. The injector can administerany vaccine or med<strong>ic</strong>ation intramuscularly, subcutaneously, or intradermally(transdermally). AcuShot needle-free injection dev<strong>ic</strong>es come in two models:1) The AcuShot S provides extremely accurate doses at m<strong>ic</strong>ro levels and candeliver traditional vaccines or supplements in doses ranging from 0.05 mL upto 1.35 mL in increments of 0.05 mL; and 2) the AcuShot A provides extremelyaccurate doses at levels ranging from 0.2 to 2.5 mL in increments of 0.1 mL.Both the AcuShot S and AcuShot A are electron<strong>ic</strong>ally controlled and haveonboard electron<strong>ic</strong>s that monitor key components and injection characterist<strong>ic</strong>sfor each shot and that provide accurate dosage selection and delivery. AcuShotinjectors are easily adapted to any supply container, regardless of size. TheAcuShot needle-free injection dev<strong>ic</strong>e is able to perform thousands of injectionsper battery charge, eliminating downtime and increasing eff<strong>ic</strong>iency. It is saferfor livestock, with a reduced chance of infection or disease transmission, andeliminates the ongoing cost and disposal of hazardous needles. It has been usedin Canada, the United States, Mex<strong>ic</strong>o, South Amer<strong>ic</strong>a, Japan, Korea, and manycountries in the European Union. It has recently been introduced in China.Sunday, November 8, 2009SYMPOSIA AND ORAL SESSIONSAnimal Health, Growth, Physiology, Endocrinology3 Lipo<strong>ic</strong> acid attenuates the anaphylact<strong>ic</strong> reactions inducedby soybean β-conglycinin in a rat model. P. F. Han*, X. Ma, and J. D. Yin,State Key Laboratory of Animal Nutrition, College of Animal Science andTechnology, China Agr<strong>ic</strong>ultural University, Beijing, China.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of feeding a low dose oflipo<strong>ic</strong> acid on attenuating soybean β-conglycinin-induced hypersensitivity byusing a rat model, with ovalbumin as the positive allerg<strong>ic</strong> control. Forty-eightrecently weaned, male, Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to 1 of 4 treatmentsand fed a cornstarch- and casein-based diet either unsupplemented (groups I,II, and III) or supplemented with 25 mg/kg of lipo<strong>ic</strong> acid (group IV). Rats ingroups III and IV were sensitized with 20 mg of β-conglycinin on d 1, 10, 17,and 24 by means of intragastr<strong>ic</strong> gavage, whereas rats in group II were sensitizedwith 20 mg of ovalbumin. The control group (group I) was gavaged with caseinby using the same treatment schedule. On d 31, rats received a double dose ofβ-conglycinin, ovalbumin, or casein, respectively. Blood was obtained from thetail vein of each rat 3 h after intragastr<strong>ic</strong> gavage. On d 32, all rats were slaughteredby cerv<strong>ic</strong>al dislocation. The spleen and small intestine were removed, and thenthe intestinal tissues were stored in liquid nitrogen until analysis. Untreated,β-conglycinin-sensitized rats (group III) demonstrated an increase in serum IgEand histamine release, but had reduced growth performance and poorer feedconversion compared with the control rats (P < 0.05; group I), similar to theovalbumin-sensitized rats (group II). A low dose of lipo<strong>ic</strong> acid signif<strong>ic</strong>antly(P < 0.05) improved BW gain and feed conversion while reducing serumIgE and histamine release. Moreover, our research ind<strong>ic</strong>ated that lipo<strong>ic</strong> acidsupplementation increased interferon-γ but decreased IL-4 (P < 0.05), wh<strong>ic</strong>hmeans that the Th1-type immune response was increased to prevent soybeanallergies. Taken together, a low dose of lipo<strong>ic</strong> acid has the potential to be usedas an immunomodulator to prevent soybean β-conglycinin-induced allergies byamending the balance of cytokines.Key Words: α-lipo<strong>ic</strong> acid, β-conglycinin, anaphylaxisKey Words: needle free, injection, vaccination2 Isolation of mink enteritis virus and appl<strong>ic</strong>ation of immuneyolk antibody. T. Tingting* and Z. Yanlong, Northeast Forest University,Harbin, China.Mink enteritis virus (MEV) infection is a highly contagious disease with amortality of up to 90%. Since this disease was first recognized in Canada in1949 by Schofield, it has been prevalent all over the world, mainly because thevirus can survive in harsh environmental conditions for a long time and evolveby natural mutation. Mink enteritis is characterized by severe mucoenteritis.This paper deals with a case of MEV isolated in Jilin Province in 2007; ourpurpose was examine whether the immunoglobulin derived from ch<strong>ic</strong>ken eggyolk (IgY) against infection by MEV could have any protective effect in mink.Mink enteritis virus samples were collected from infected mink intestines basedon clin<strong>ic</strong>al symptoms. The embryon<strong>ic</strong> feline kidney cell line F81 was used toenr<strong>ic</strong>h the viruses. The viruses were then identified by plaque assay and culturedin a 96-well plate. Finally, we isolated the virus, wh<strong>ic</strong>h could agglutinate redblood cells of the pig, but not the human, ch<strong>ic</strong>ken, or rabbit. This was confirmedby PCR amplif<strong>ic</strong>ation by a special primer of MEV. Moreover, the isolated viruscould infect mink. To prepare IgY samples, we vaccinated 14-wk-old layinghens with MEV samples and then extracted egg yolk antibodies with chloroformand DEAE. The hemagglutination-inhibition test, the agar spread method, andindirect ELISA were used to identify the IgY. The anti-MEV IgY were thenused to treat 2- to 3-mo-old mink that were challenged with the isolated MEV.The present research ind<strong>ic</strong>ated that the cells showed a cytopathogen<strong>ic</strong> effect.The diluter of hemagglutination test range was 26. The gene of the virus wasamplified by PCR reaction. Twenty mink displayed symptoms within 2.5 to4 d after being inoculated with MEV. The titer of IgY was tested as 27 byhemagglutination-inhibition test, was tested as 1:32 by the agar spread method,and was eff<strong>ic</strong>ient 2 mo after the last immunization. The clin<strong>ic</strong>al analysis showedthat 16 mink in the IgY group were cured, 4 in the control group died, and theprotection rate reached 100%.Key Words: isolation, IgY, MEV4 Discrepancies between in vitro and in vivo aflatoxin binding.J. N. Broomhead* and F. Chi, Amlan International, Ch<strong>ic</strong>ago, IL, USA.An in vitro binding study and an in vivo ch<strong>ic</strong>ken study were conducted totest the eff<strong>ic</strong>acy and safety of organ<strong>ic</strong>ally modified clays (OMC) in bindingaflatoxin B 1(AFL). In vitro mycotoxin binding was conducted at physiolog<strong>ic</strong>alconditions of the stomach (pH 3.0), followed by physiolog<strong>ic</strong>al conditions theintestine (pH 6.5) at 50:1 binder-to-toxin ratio. The ch<strong>ic</strong>k study consisted of250 one-day-old male broiler ch<strong>ic</strong>ks assigned to 10 treatments, with 5 repl<strong>ic</strong>atepens of 5 ch<strong>ic</strong>ks each. Four OMC were fed either alone (0.5% dietary inclusion)or in combination with 2 ppm of AFL. Ch<strong>ic</strong>ks were placed in battery broodersand fed the experimental diets for 21 d. On d 21, three birds per repl<strong>ic</strong>ate wereeuthanized with CO 2and weighed, and blood was drawn from 2 birds per penfor serum chemistry analysis; livers were removed from 3 birds per pen andweighed for determination of relative liver weight (RLW). In vitro AFL bindingresults were highly variable: OMC A, B, C, and D bound 44, 49, 63, and 81%AFL, respectively. Feeding AFL alone reduced (P < 0.05) BW gain (BWG),feed intake, and serum protein and increased RLW (P < 0.05). Contrary to the invitro results, OMC A and B improved (P < 0.05) BWG and OMC A improved (P< 0.05) RLW when added to the 2 ppm of AFL diet. No improvement in serumprotein (P < 0.05) was observed with the inclusion of any OMC to the AFL diet.A signif<strong>ic</strong>ant reduction (P < 0.05) in BWG was observed when feeding OMC Calone, and an increase (P < 0.05) in serum aspartate aminotransferase was seenwhen feeding OMC B or C alone, suggesting possible tox<strong>ic</strong>ity when feedingthese OMC. In conclusion, the in vitro AFL binding procedure used may notbe a good pred<strong>ic</strong>tor of in vivo eff<strong>ic</strong>acy, and in vivo studies should always beconducted to validate in vitro results.Key Words: aflatoxin, in vivo, in vitro5
