Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The liver damage and obstructions of the biliary tract were evaluated ultrasonographically in experimentally bile duct ligated dogs. Seven healthy dogs of different breeds were used. The common bile duct was double ligated at the duodenal region after clinical and ultrasonographic examinations. After that, clinical examinations, biochemical analyses and examinations of the liver, gallbladder and biliary tract were done ultrasonographically over 6 weeks. All dogs were necropsied and macroscopic and histologic alterations were determined at the end of the study. It was determined that the levels of serum ALT, ALP, GGT and T. Bilirubin were (p < 0.001-0.05) statistically significantly increased after the operation in all dogs. As a result of ultrasonographic examinations, it was determined that the bile ducts and gallbladder were distended, the neck of the gallbladder was larger and more tortuous than normal, hypoechoic sludge was prominent in the gallbladder, and perivascular, multifocal hyperechoic areas appeared in the liver parenchyma toward the end of the study. These alterations were confirmed macroscopically and microscopically at the end of the autopsy in all dogs. We consider that as well as blood serum parameters, ultrasonographic examinations are useful in the early diagnosis of biliary diseases and in differentiating them from hepatic diseases.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of zinc oxide administrations on body weight gain and some biochemical parameters (zinc, copper, iron, calcium, magnesium, total protein and gammaglobulin) in the blood serum of lambs. This study was performed on 35 Ivesi male lambs (control group: 15, experimental group: 20), aged between 20 and 25 days. In the experimental group, 500 mg zinc oxide (2% solution) was administered orally 12 times with period of a week. Blood samples were collected on days of 0, 14, 28, 42 and 84. Furthermore, body weights of the lambs were determined on …

This study was carried out to determine the effects of different roughage sources (alfalfa meal, grass meal and sugar beet pulp) on growth performance and carcass properties in geese. During the research, 51 one-day-old native geese chicks were used. Chicks were fed jointly for the first two weeks. At the beginning of the third week, the geese were divided into three groups. During weeks 3-10 different roughage (alfalfa meal, grass meal and sugar beet pulp) and concentrates were offered in separate feeders. During the third week concentrate was offered a 100 g/day/bird and increased 50 g a week until the …
