Effect Of Czb Medium On The Two Cell Block Of Preimplantation Mouse Emryos, Haydar Bağiş, Levent Keski̇ntepe, Hande Odaman Mercan, Hakan Sağirkaya

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This experiment was designed to determine the effects of CZB medium on in vitro culture of murine embryos obtained from FVB/N, CD-1, and CB6F1 strains. Pronuclear stage embryos were recovered from superovulated and mated females 17 h post-hCG. Two-cell stage block, morula and blastocyst stages were used as the end point of the experiments. There is no statistical difference among strains and media for the development to the two-cell stage. However, more FVB/N embryos (88.3 and 82.4%) than CD-1 (57.4 and 57.1%) and CB6F1 (69.8 and 28.9%) reached the 3-8 cell stage in CZB and M16 media, respectively. CB6F1 embryos …

Blood Serum Concentrations Of Selenium And Glutathione Peroxidase Activity In Akkaraman Sheep, Taner Pamukçu, Tevhi̇de Sel, Gül Yarim Jan 2001

Blood Serum Concentrations Of Selenium And Glutathione Peroxidase Activity In Akkaraman Sheep, Taner Pamukçu, Tevhi̇de Sel, Gül Yarim

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Selenium and other essential elements play an important role in animal husbandry. These elements help to minimize infectious diseases, reduce concomitant stresses and bring about optimal productive and reproductive performance. The mean serum selenium concentration of the sheep sampled in this study was 303.65 ng/ml. Such values are considered to be indicative of adequate dietary supplementation. Serum glutathione peroxidase activity in the sheep sampled in this study was also analysed, and the mean glutathione peroxidase activity was 3.65 nmolNADPH+H+/min/mg protein. It is recommended that producers monitor the selenium in serum in order to maintain adequate nutrition and performance in sheep.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The nutritional effects of supplementing the diets of dairy cows during the dry period with anionic salts and probiotic, on some blood parameters, milk production and composition and the development of milk fever, were evaluated in 20 Holstein cattle (>3^rd lactation). Diets were composed of a mixture of hay (70%) and commercial concentrate (30%) with and without supplemental anionic salts. These diets were given to cows during the 3 weeks prior to calving. Cows in the probiotic group also received 5g/day probiotic orally during this period. The cation/ anion balances of the diets were determined to be -67.77 and …

Effects Of Phorbol Myristate Acetate On The Liver: A Biochemical And Ultrastructural Study, Memduha Gülhal Bozkir, Ufuk Ö. Mete, Özkan Oğuz

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The effects of free radicals in the liver tissue of 20 mice were studied. The mice, separated into acute and chronic groups, were injected with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) to trigger the release of free radicals. For evaluation of the effects of free radicals, malandialdehyde (MDA) measurement and electron microscopic examination were performed. The results showed that the level of lipid peroxide in the chronic PMA group was significantly higher than it was in the acute PMA group (P

Expression Of Bifunctional Genes Encoding Xylanase And \Beta(1,3-1,4)-Glucanase In Gram-Positive Bacteria, Mehmet Sai̇t Eki̇nci̇, Harry J. Flint Jan 2001

Expression Of Bifunctional Genes Encoding Xylanase And \Beta(1,3-1,4)-Glucanase In Gram-Positive Bacteria, Mehmet Sai̇t Eki̇nci̇, Harry J. Flint

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The xylanase and \beta(1,3-1,4)-Glucanase activities encoding gene from the cellulolytic rumen anaerobe bacterium was cloned into Escherichia/Streptococcus shuttle vector for introduction into Gram-positive bacteria, including the rumen facultative anaerobe bacterium Streptococcus bovis. Activities due to the cloned gene decreased in the stationary phase in batch cultures of S. bovis, reflecting the sensitivity of the cloned enzymes to inactivation in the presence of accumulated lactic acid. Cloned gene activity was detected in the culture supernatant, indicating recognition of the cloned gene signal peptide by Gram-positive bacteria.

Influences Of Cumulus Cells During In Vitro Fertilization Of Mouse Oocytes In Different Mouse Strains, Haydar Bağiş, Levent Keski̇ntepe, Hakan Sağirkaya, Hande Odaman Mercan, Seyfetti̇n Çeti̇n

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, the influences of cumulus cells during in vitro fertilization (IVF) and their subsequent effects on mouse embryo development in vitro were studied in inbred and hybrid strain mice. Embryos at the 2-cell stage obtained after in vitro fertilization were transferred to the oviduct of foster mothers to assess their implantation rate. Mouse oocytes, which were intact at the time of in vitro fertilization, demonstrated less polyspermic fertilization and more blastocyst development than those inseminated without any cumulus cells. The data demonstrate that more oocytes were arrested at the 2-cell stage in groups that contained no cumulus cells. …

Identification Of A Lactose Utilization And Copper Resistance Plasmid In Lactococcus Lactis Subsp. Lactis Mcl64, Mustafa Akçeli̇k Jan 2001

Identification Of A Lactose Utilization And Copper Resistance Plasmid In Lactococcus Lactis Subsp. Lactis Mcl64, Mustafa Akçeli̇k

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Lactose negative and copper sensitive (Lac-/Cus) mutants of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis MCL64 were isolated after extended incubation periods at 32ºC and 37ºC. A 30.0 kb plasmid was absent in all Lac-/Cus mutants. These results showed that lactose metabolism and copper resistance were linked to the 30.0 kb plasmid in strain MCL64. Using MCL64 as a donor, the 30.0 kb plasmid transferred into Lac-/Cus recipient strains P81 and MCL64-90 with the frequencies of 4.1x10-5- 8.2x10-3 per donor cell, respectively. All transconjugants were found to be of a Lac+/ Cur phenotype.

The Effect Of Starter Culture Use In Pastırma Production On The Properties Of End Product, Muhammet İrfan Aksu, Mükerrem Kaya

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The effects of three different starter preparations (Staphylococcus carnosus, Staphylococcus carnosus + Lactobocillus pentosus and Staphylococcus xylosus + Lactobacillus sakei) on the end product of pastırma were investigated. In the production of pastırma samples, dry curing was performed using NaCl, KNO_3, glucose and saccarose, and starter culture was added together with curing compounds to the meat.

Multiple-Trait Analysis Using Bayesian Methods In Animal Breeding: A Gibbs Sampling Approach, Mehmet Zi̇ya Firat Jan 2001

Multiple-Trait Analysis Using Bayesian Methods In Animal Breeding: A Gibbs Sampling Approach, Mehmet Zi̇ya Firat

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Most animal breeding experiments are based on more than one economically important trait measured in each individual. In the statistical analysis of the resulting data, traits recorded in the same individuals are often considered one at a time. Usually we are interested, however, not only in the mode of inheritance of a particular trait but also in its relationships with other traits. Multivariate analyses are required to make inferences about genetic and phenotypic correlations between traits, but point estimates of such parameters can be poor even when breeding data on hundreds of animals are used. Bayesian methods exclude variance matrices …

Survey Of European Foulbrood Disease In Bee Farms Located In Elazığ And The Surrounding Provinces, Hali̇l Şi̇mşek, Canan Özcan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

A total of 250 specimens from 110 bee farms located in Elazığ and the surrounding provinces were taken in 1999 and 2000. The specimens were examined for European Foulbrood Disease. Under macroscopic examination clinical symptoms were noted in 12 specimens, and Paenibacillus alvei was isolated and identified from 8 of these specimens. As a result of the antibiotic sensitivity test, the isolate was found sensitive to enrofloxacin, streptomycin and erythromycin 75%, 75%, and 62,5% of the time respectively. In this study, the presence of European Foulbrood Disease was determined in 3.2% of cases in Elazığ and the surrounding provinces.
