Research on the Application of Metagenomic NGS Technology in Detecting Major Diseases of Beef Cattle in Changji Prefecture of Xinjiang
In order to investigate the main disease pathogens of beef cattle in Changji Prefecture,Xinjiang,this experiment applied mNGS metagenomic sequencing technology to analyze 46 disease samples with different clinical symptoms from beef cattle farms,live animal trading markets and slaughterhouses in Changji Prefecture.78 patho-gens such as viruses,bacteria,hemoparasiosis and mycoplasma were detected.Combined with the currently repor-ted and prevalent in the current domestic and international beef cattle breeding process,clinical comparisons were made with 46 clinical case samples detected by metagenomic testing.A total of 30 major pathogens were screened,including 13 bacteria,13 viruses,and 4 other pathogens such as mycoplasma and hemochromatosis,providing sci-entific data support for the research of comprehensive disease prevention and control technology in beef cattle breed-ing in Changji,Xinjiang.
