Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was conducted to investigate the performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of lambs fed barley/triticale silage treated with/without inoculant and enzyme mixture-based diets with similar barley supplementation. Thirty Tahirova × Sakız crossbred weaned ram lambs (mean body weight: 34 ± 0.5 kg) were used in this study. Lambs were randomly divided into groups of 3 and fed the respective diets. These 3 diets were: 1) hay grass + barley, 2) triticale/barley silage + barley, and 3) triticale/barley silage with inoculants and enzyme mixture + barley. There were significant differences among groups in daily live weight gain (P < 0.001). Cold carcass weight and dressing percentage based on empty body weight and carcass conformation scores were not significantly different among groups, but fatness scores and proportion of omental and mesenteric fat were significantly affected by diet (P < 0.05). No differences were found in terms of meat lightness (L*), redness (a*), and yellowness (b*) values for M. longissimus thoracis muscle. However, silage-fed lambs in both groups had higher shear force values than hay-fed lambs in the current study (P < 0.05). It can be concluded that barley/triticale silages offered with concentrate had no unfavorable effect on lamb performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality.

In this study, the curative effect of valsartan on hypertension based on its effect on visfatin levels and lipid profiles was investigated. Materials and methods: Forty patients aged 38-60 with hypertension were included in the study. In order to determine initial visfatin levels and lipid profiles, blood samples were taken from the patients and all were started on 80-mg valsartan tablets. All patients were monitored for 12 weeks. Results: By using multivariate regression analysis, it was determined that visfatin levels affected systolic blood pressure (SBP) (P = 0.012, beta; -0.43, 95% CI: -0.092 to -0.012). After the patients received the …
