Investigations Of Serratia Liquefaciens Infection In Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss Walbaum), Seyi̇t Aydin, Zekai̇ Erman, Ömer Cevdet Bi̇lgi̇n Jan 2001

Investigations Of Serratia Liquefaciens Infection In Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss Walbaum), Seyi̇t Aydin, Zekai̇ Erman, Ömer Cevdet Bi̇lgi̇n

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was conducted to investigate Serratia liquefaciens infection in juvenile cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) during June and July in 1996 about 20 days after flooding in three farms in Erzurum. Bacterial isolates were identified from each farm and tested to determine sensitivity against 18 chemotherapeutants. In addition to minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) of chloramine-T and potassium permanganate (KmnO4) were exposures of 17.07-20 mg/l for 1 h and 23.27 mg/l for 10 min. Infections caused fallen scales, bloody and swollen kidney, hyperaemic and pale regions in the liver, haemorrhagic spots in the gills and bloody exudate in the …


The Industrial Fluorosis Caused By A Coal-Burning Power Station And Its Effects On Sheep, Ulvi̇ Reha Fi̇danci, Tevhi̇de Sel Jan 2001

The Industrial Fluorosis Caused By A Coal-Burning Power Station And Its Effects On Sheep, Ulvi̇ Reha Fi̇danci, Tevhi̇de Sel

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this investigation was to examine the industrial fluorosis caused by the coal burning power station in Muğla-Yatağan. Blood and urine samples of sheep, and water, plant and soil samples from around the power station were collected four times throughout the year to cover all four seasons. Fluoride ion concentrations in the water, urine, plant and soil samples were detected potentiometrically using an ion selective electrode. Serum Alkaline phosphatase (ALP-EC 3.1.3.1), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT-EC 2.6.1.2), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST-EC 2.6.1.1) and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH-EC 1.1.1.27) enzyme activities were analysed spectrophotometrically using Sigma commercial kits. Significantly higher fluoride ion concentration …


Vitamin A, Vitamin E And Selenium Levels In Blood And Milk Sera Of Cattle With Foot And Mouth Disease, Serdar Kizil, Ari̇f Altintaş Jan 2001

Vitamin A, Vitamin E And Selenium Levels In Blood And Milk Sera Of Cattle With Foot And Mouth Disease, Serdar Kizil, Ari̇f Altintaş

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this study was to determine \beta-carotene, retinol (Vit A), selenium (Se) and \alpha-tocopherol (Vit E) levels in the sera of blood and milk from cattle with foot and mouth disease (FMD). A total of 120 blood sera and 22 milk sera were used for the analysis. \beta-carotene and Vit A, Se and Vit E levels were determined by spectrophotometer, fluorophotometer and HPLC respectively. Serum samples were obtained from 0-1 and 1-3-year-old cattle bred in public and state farms. Animals were grouped according to their sex, vaccination status and health or infection with FMD. Results of the biochemical …
