Ornithobacterium Rhinotrachelae (Or) Infection, Nesri̇n Turan, Seyyal Ak
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale infection is characterized by respiratory disease, decreased growth and increased mortality in avians. Although a reasonably new infection, it has been found in many countries in a short period. In this article, this infection, which causes large financial losses in avian enterprises, was investigated.
A Karyological Analysis Of Garra Rufa (Heckel, 1843) (Pisces, Cyprinidae) From The Eastern Mediterranean River Basin In Turkey, Serap Ergene Gözükara, Tolga Çavaş
A Karyological Analysis Of Garra Rufa (Heckel, 1843) (Pisces, Cyprinidae) From The Eastern Mediterranean River Basin In Turkey, Serap Ergene Gözükara, Tolga Çavaş
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
A cytogenetic investigation on 12 Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843) specimens, from Müftü stream, was carried out by a slight modification of the conventional air-dried technique, using gill epithelial cells. The diploid chromosome number of this species was 2n = 44, comprising 22 metacentric and 20 submetacentric chromosomes and 2 acrocentric chromosome carrying satellites (NF = 85). A haploid idiogram, based on the chromosome measurements, was prepared. A detailed standard karyotype of G. rufa was established for the first time in this study.

Some Biological Properties Of Mosquitofish Populations (Gambusia Affinis) Living In Inland Waters Of The Western Mediterranean Region Of Turkey, Şükrü Öztürk, Ramazan İki̇z
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Gambusia affinis, Baird & Girard, 1853, originally comes from North America and has been distributed all over the world for the biological control of mosquitoes. This study aimed to determine some biological properties, such as structure, age, growth and reproduction of the populations of G. affinis in Turkey. For this purpose, between November 1998 and October 1999, 2026 mosquitofish were caught in the wetlands of Fethiye-Akgöl, Dalaman and Ortaca in Muğla province in the western Mediterranean region of Turkey and the data found were compared. In the Fethiye-Akgöl population the percentage of the 0+ age group was 97.59%, and of …
Introducing A New Approach To Estimating Red Meat Production In Turkey, Fahri̇ Yavuz, Carl R. Zulauf
Introducing A New Approach To Estimating Red Meat Production In Turkey, Fahri̇ Yavuz, Carl R. Zulauf
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
A common concern with official estimates of red meat production in Turkey is that they underestimate the level of production. One of the frequently cited reasons is that unregulated slaughter is undercounted. This study uses an estimation method based on the biology of red meat production to examine the potential impact of this undercounting. The production estimates obtained for 1991-1998 using this biological-based method exceed the numbers estimated by official organizations, but fall within the range of estimates obtained from other proposed approaches to estimating red meat production.
