The Effects Of Electrical Stimulation On The Sensory And Textural Quality Properties Of Mutton Carcasses, Mete Yanar, Hasan Yeti̇m
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of electrical stimulation (ES) on the sensory and textural quality characteristics of mutton carcasses from elderly ewes. For this purpose, 14 ovine carcasses from 3-5-year-old ewes were subjected to ES with 350 V, and the effects of ES on the organoleptic and instron textural parameters were evaluated. The ES significantly (P < 0.01) improved the panel tenderness scores of the Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle. Some of the Instron Warner Bratzler Shear parameters such as peak force and initial yield force values of the LD muscle were also highly significantly (P < 0.01) affected by ES, while the Semimembranosus (SM) muscle was not affected. Hardness and peak force 2 values of LD obtained from the Instron compression test were also significantly (P < 0.05) affected by ES. However, Instron compression parameters of SM muscles were not significantly influenced by ES treatment. The results revealed that the ES could considerably improve the tenderness of the LD from mutton carcasses. In conclusion, the application of ES to mutton carcasses from elderly ewes could be beneficial for the meat industry by increasing the merchandising value and quality of this sort of carcass.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Faecal samples collected from 206 chickens, 170 sheep and 130 cattle were investigated for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in animals slaughtered at local abattoirs in Elazığ. The prevalance of L. monocytogenes was 4.36% in chickens, 0.58% in sheep and 1.53% in cattle. Of the 12 L. monocytogenes isolates, seven (58.33%) and five (41.66%) belonged to serotypes 1 and 4, respectively. Other species isolated were L. innocua, L. welshimeri, L. seeligeri, L. murrayi and L. grayi. These results indicate that animal faeces could be a source of contamination of carcasses with L. monocytogenes and may lead to foodborne listeriosis.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Carbohydrate chemistry evolved into carbohydrate biochemistry and gradually into the biology of carbohydrates, or glycobiology, at the end of the last century. Glycobiology is the new research area of modern molecular biology, and it investigates the structure, biosynthesis and biological functions of glycans. The numbers, linkage types (\alpha or \beta), positions, binding points and functional group differences of monosaccharides create microheterogeneity. Thus, numerous glycoforms with precise structural differences occur. Each glycoform as a distinct biological ligand has a different function. Studies in glycobiology have concentrated on determining molecular structures and glycosylation mechanisms, investigating biological control mechanisms and the phenotypic characteristics …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The effects of replacing fish oil with soybean oil, sunflower oil, corn oil and olive oil in starter feeds on the vicerosomatic index, hepatosomatic index and liver fatty acid composition of the sea bass were studied. Juvenile sea bass (initial weight = 7.58 ± 0.13 g) were fed experimental diets for 75 days. The fish were then killed and liver samples were collected. The lowest total crude fat value (17.61%) was found in the fish fed the fish oil diet. The highest total crude fat value (34.30%) was found in the fish fed the olive oil diet (P < 0.05). Similarly, the fish fed the fish oil diet had the lowest hepatosomatic index value (2.08) and all the fish fed vegetable oils had similarly high hepatosomatic index values (P < 0.05). Likewise, vicerosomatic index values were lowest (9.06%) in the fish fed fish oil and highest in the fish fed soybean and other vegetable oils (P < 0.05). Fatty acid analyses showed that EPA and DHA from n-3 HUFA's in the fish fed the fish oil diet, linolenic acid (18:3n-3) and linoleic acid (18:2n-6) in the fish fed the soybean oil diet and oleic acid (18:1n-9) in the fish fed the olive oil diet were higher than in the fish fed the other diets.
