Living In Seyhan Dam Lake And Seyhan River Determination Of Some Blood Parameters In Mirror Carps ( Cyprinus Carpio, Linnaeus, 1758), İbrahi̇m Cengi̇zler, Aysel Şahan Azi̇zoğlu

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This research was carried out on mirror carps ( Cyprinus carpio, L.,1758) taken from Seyhan Dam Lake and Seyhan River between January and October 1996 to determine some blood parameters. Erythrocyte, leucocyte count, leucocyte cell formulas, total serum protein and serum glucose values of mirror Carps ( Cyprinus carpio, L.,1758 ) caught from Seyhan Dam Lake and Seyhan River were also compared statistically. Different values were recorded in erythrocyte and serum protein amounts for both environments (P0.05).

Using Goal Programming In Rational And Economical Animal Nutrition, İsmet Doğan, Nurhan Doğan, Abdulkadi̇r Akcan Jan 2000

Using Goal Programming In Rational And Economical Animal Nutrition, İsmet Doğan, Nurhan Doğan, Abdulkadi̇r Akcan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Animal nutrition is one of the important problems of people involved in animal breeding. It is essential that animals get sufficient and well-balanced nutrition to be healthy. Especially obtaining the necessary food elements from cheaper food sources becomes a major concern when ensuring sufficient and well-balanced nutrition in animal breeding. The Goal Programming Method is an improved method for solving multi-objective problems. In solving these types of problem, it cannot be expected that all the goals can be exactly obtained. The results of multi-objective problem solutions are affected by the decision of the manager or decision maker. Therefore, when there …
