Determination Of Some Haematological Parameters In Spotted Barb (Capoeta Barroisi Lortet, 1894) And Roach (Rutilus Rutilus, Linnaeus, 1758) Living In Seyhan River (Adana City Region), Aysel Şahan, İbrahi̇m Cengi̇zler

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was conducted in Seyhan River between May 1997 and May 1998. Basic haematological parameters and effects of seasonal differences on these parameters were determined in Roach (Rutilus rutilus, Linnaeus, 1758) and Spotted Barb (Capoeta barroisi, Lortet, 1894) species which had adapted to water polluted by agricultural, industrial and domestic wastes. The waste of slaughterhouses also flowed into the region. The results of the study showed that there were deviations from standard values for most of the haematological parameters for R. rutilus indicating that R. rutilus individuals were affected by environmental stress factors more than those of C. barroisi.

Effects Of Source And Concentrations Of Nitrogen And Carbohydrate On Ruminal Microbial Protein Synthesis, M. Aki̇f Karsli, James R. Russell Jan 2002

Effects Of Source And Concentrations Of Nitrogen And Carbohydrate On Ruminal Microbial Protein Synthesis, M. Aki̇f Karsli, James R. Russell

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The objective of this review was to discuss microbial protein synthesis and the effects of sources and concentrations of nitrogen and carbohydrate on microbial protein synthesis. Even though ammonia-N is a satisfactory source of nitrogen for the growth of the majority of rumen microbes, substitution of intact protein for urea usually stimulates ruminal microbial protein synthesis. While protein sources high in degradable intake protein (DIP), such as soybean meal, appear to have properties that optimize microbial protein synthesis, protein sources low in DIP, such as fish meal, appear to limit microbial protein synthesis apparantly because of the low ruminal digestibility …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Infection with the parasite Diplostomum sp. can lead to severe ocular pathology and may result in host mortalities in commercial fish farming. Here we show that such infection is rife in a major lake used for fishing in Turkey. In a study of Acanthobrama marmid fish in Keban Dam Lake, Elazığ, Turkey, we found the infection period was normally between May and September each year, and that the prevalence and abundance of eye lens parasites reached a maximum in September. Typical results of metacercariae occurrence in the fish eye included exophthalmia, local haemorrhage and lens cataract. There was a significant …

Transformation And Stability Of Cloned Polysaccharidase Genes In Gram-Positive Bacteria, Mehmet Sai̇t Eki̇nci̇, Harry J. Flint

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Polysaccharidase genes from rumen bacteria were transferred to and expressed in ruminal and non-ruminal Gram-positive bacteria. The transformation efficiency and genetic stability of polysaccharidase genes in bacteria from different habitats were investigated. PCR amplification of cloned polysaccharidase genes from Escherichia coli, Lactococcus lactis, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus sanguis and S. bovis strain 26 showed that rearrangement of plasmid and the gene fragment did not occur. The DNA band sizes from all primers agreed with the expectations of some transformants of S. bovis JB1 being rearranged. In spite of the rearrangement in S. bovis JB1 polysaccharidase activities were conserved. Growing in the …
