An Assessment Of Ensiling Potential In Maize X Legume (Soybean And Cowpea) Binarymixtures For Yield And Feeding Quality, Erdem Gülümser, Hani̇fe Mut, Uğur Başaran, Medi̇ne Çopur Doğrusöz

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, maize and legume intercropping were evaluated in terms of silage yield and quality. Maize (Zea mays L.''M'') was intercropped with soybean (Glycine max L. ''S'') and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. ''C'') as binary mixtues (maize + legume), and the seed rates were as follows: 100 + 0%, 75 + 25%, 50 + 50% and 25 + 75%. The harvested plants were chopped with the particle size of < 2, ensiled in 2 kg plastic jars and left fermentation at 25 ± 2 °C for 45 days. In this study, silage yield, dry matter ratio, pH value, crude protein ratio, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber, digestibility of dry matter, dry matter intake, total digestibil nutrient relative feed values, lactic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, malic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium contents were determined. All the M + S mixtures showed high performance in terms of Flieg score and lactic acid content. The highest relative feed quality value was determined in the sole cowpea (156.4) and 25M + 75S% (148.5) mixture. As a result, intercropping maize with legumes resulted in superior silage quality without a reduction in yield.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Research was undertaken to develop an enzyme-substrate-based time-temperature integrator (TTI) for monitoring higher temperature thawing of frozen buffalo meat. Alpha-amylase and iodine-starch complex were standardized for enzyme-substrate combinations and process optimization and packed in 2 × 2 cm LDPE bags. The meat samples were packed in polystyrene trays with cling film overwrap and frozen at -18 ± 1 °C. Each sample had a sticker-type TTI attached to the surface of the package. The frozen samples were subjected to temperature abuse at 25 ± 1 °C and 37 ± 1 °C, keeping a control at 4 ± 1 °C. On higher …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In vitro fertilization is a common method of fertilization in the case of both humans and animals. Although this method has developed very rapidly, there are still many unanswered questions about the optimal characteristics that oocytes should have for performing this procedure. The object of this study was to describe the correlation between the diameter and size of swine oocytes in relation to pubescence. The research was conducted on ovaries of piglets (n = 65) and adult swine (n = 69). Each oocyte was examined with and without the zona pellucida. The analysis showed that the average size of the …

Determination Of The Feeding Values Of Feedstuffs And Mixed Feeds Used In The Southeastern Anatolia Region Of Turkey, Murat Sedat Baran, Ramazan Demi̇rel, Di̇lek Şentürk Demi̇rel, Tarkan Şahi̇n, Derya Yeşi̇lbağ

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

It is very important to know the feeding value and metabolizable energy content of feedstuffs for balancing animal diets. Feeding value and energy content of animal feeds change according to maturity stage, soil conditions, fertilization, climate, processing methods, etc. There are no adequate tables that show the basic feeding values of feedstuffs grown in different regions of Turkey; therefore, the present study analyzed 8 different feedstuffs and 56 dairy and beef cattle mixed feeds to determine their feeding value and energy content. Additionally, the possibility of using these feedstuffs for ruminant nutrition is discussed. Crude protein content of the dairy …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, some external and internal quality characteristics of pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) eggs with white, blue, brown, or olive green shells were investigated. A total of 120 pheasant eggs including 9 white, 4 blue, 24 brown and 83 olive green eggs (collected in the same laying period and randomly) were used in this study. The values of egg weight, shape index, eggshell weight and shell membrane weight of the brown and the olive green eggs were found different from those of the blue and white color eggs (P < 0.05). Yolk and albumen weights of the white, blue, brown, and olive green eggs were found 9.03 and 16.28 g, 9.57 and 14.37 g, 10.72 and 17.96 g, 10.13 and 17.79 g, respectively (P < 0.05). The effect of eggshell colors on the yolk index, albumen index, shell thickness, membrane thickness, and Haugh Unit was found to be insignificant (P < 0.05). As a result of this study, the quality of brown and olive green eggs were better than blue and white eggs.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Different ratios of sodium and potassium nitrate were added to salt (control, 1, 2 and 3%) during the salting process and its effect on the chemical and microbiological quality was investigated in different stages of Turkish pastrami (pastırma) production (before and after salting, and before and after cumin paste application). According to the chemical analysis results, the moisture and salt ratio, pH and a_w values were not significantly different between the groups (P > 0.05) but the nitrate and nitrite values were significantly different according to the nitrate ratio (P < 0.05). Before the salting of samples, Staphyococcus/Micrococcus numbers were significantly different between the groups (P < 0.05). In the other stages of production, no differences were found between the groups (P > 0.05). Except for the stages before salting, no coliform-group bacteria growth …

The aim of this investigation was to compare some quality characteristics of goose-meat salami with those of turkey- and chicken-meat salami in order to determine its suitability for consumption and to able to use goose meat for meat product technology. The pH values of experimental samples were highest in the goose-meat salami and lowest in the turkey-meat salami. Moisture rates of samples produced with a mixture of two kinds of poultry meat were lower than those of the others. Salmonella, coliform group bacteria and yeast-mould microorganisms were negligible in the experimental salami samples. Salami samples produced only from goose meat …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Quality changes of squid ( Loligo vulgaris) during the storage at different temperatures were determined. The squid packed on straphore plates wrapping by strech film were stored at +20 °C and +4 °C . During the storage sensory, pH, moisture, weight loss, Total Volatil Basic Nitrogen ( TVB-N ), Trimethylamine Nitrogen ( TMA-N ) analyses were done. The shelf life of squid stored at different temperatures was found to be 1 day at +20 °C and 4 days +4 °C.
