Investigation Of Bmp15 And Gdf9 Gene Polymorphisms And Their Effects On Litter Size In Anatolian Sheep Breed Akkaraman, Koray Kirikçi
Investigation Of Bmp15 And Gdf9 Gene Polymorphisms And Their Effects On Litter Size In Anatolian Sheep Breed Akkaraman, Koray Kirikçi
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study aimed to examine the polymorphism of the BMP15 (FecX$^{G}$ and FecX$^{I}$) and GDF9 (G1 and G4) genes and the association between genotypes and litter size in the Akkaraman breed. Blood samples were taken from 100 ewes in total. Genomic DNA was obtained from whole blood. The PCR-RFLP technique was employed to determine the polymorphisms of the genes under investigation. The G1 was the only polymorphic among the four loci analyzed. The frequencies for the GA and GG genotypes were 0.26 and 0.74, respectively, while the A and G allele frequencies were 0.13 and 0.87, respectively. The observed and …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The present study investigated the fattening performance and carcass traits of lambs obtained by the crossing of the Hasak and Hasmer sheep types, developed at the Bahri Dağdaş International Agricultural Research Institute, with publicly owned Akkaraman sheep. Of each of these groups, 7 male and 7 female lambs of approximately 75 days of age were raised under an intensive feedlot system. The fattening period lasted 70 days, and, at the end of this period, 5 lambs were slaughtered from each group with the aim of determining carcass traits. In conclusion, the percentage of tail fat was reduced with the decreasing …

Slaughter And Carcass Traits Of Güney Karaman, Kangal-Akkaraman And Akkaraman Lambs At Different Slaughter Weights, Mustafa Tufan, Ali̇ Akmaz
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was carried out to investigate the slaughter and carcass traits of Güney Karaman, Kangal-Akkaraman and Akkaraman ram lambs at slaughter weights of 30, 35 and 40 kg. In this study, 6 ram lambs were used for each slaughter weight and genotype group (a total of 54 ram lambs). The lambs were slaughtered when they reached the slaughter weights mentioned above. All the carcasses were divided into five cuts, namely leg, shoulder, back, loin and others. In order to determine the carcass composition, the left halves of the carcass cuts were dissected. At the 30 kg slaughter weight, the …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was carried out to investigate the fattening performance, and slaughter and carcass characteristics of Chios x Akkaraman F_1 and B_1 crossbred lambs. The data for the fattening study were obtained from 8 F_1 and 10 B_1 crossbred lambs. Five male lambs from each genotype were slaughtered to determine the slaughter and carcass characteristics. Lambs were fed with alfalfa hay and concentrates ad libitum in the fattening period. During the fattening period, the average daily live weight gains in crossbred F_1 and B_1 groups were 238.04 g and 232.07 g, and the amount of consumed concentrate feeds for 1 …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Arginase (L-arginine amidino hydrolase E.C. 3.5.3.1) is an enzyme catalyzing the last stage of the Krebs-Henseleit cycle and, thus, converting arginine into urea and ornithine. Arginase also plays a part in protein and polyamine synthesis and is affected by hormones in terms of metabolic status. In the present study, erythrocyte, saliva, and serum arginase activity together with serum urea and estrogen levels were examined in Akkaraman and Ivesi sheep in pregnancy and postpartum. Comparisons were then made between the species. In pregnancy the urea level in saliva increased. However, the urea level in serum decreased. No clear difference was observed …

This observation was to report a case of dermatosparaxsis in an Akkaraman lamb. It was performed complete necropsy. And the lesions were described macroscopically and microscopically. In addition, it was included the affected and nonaffected flock to the research. After general clinical examinations; blood, wool and feaces samples were also analysed with regard to hematological (microhematocrit, hemoglobin), biochemical (zinc and copper values in plasma and hair) and parasitological examinations. The parameters of the affected and nonaffected flock were compared with each other. As the problem occured in a closed flock, it was enhanced the earlier hypothesis that genetic factors are …
