Comparison Of In Vitro Dry Matter Degradation Of Four Maize Silages Using The Menke Gas Production Method, Adem Kamalak, Yavuz Gürbüz, Heather Finlayson

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Four maize silages from the UK and France were evaluated using the gas production method to estimate the rate and extent of dry matter degradation in vitro. There were significant differences in gas production after 17 h incubation. The silages showed similar times to produce 50, 95 and 100% of total gas production, whereas the lag time for Ema was significantly (P < 0.001) lower than that for Volgate. The potential gas production value (a + b) for Nancis was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than that for Volgate. There was a significant correlation (r = 0.996, R^2 = 90.71, P < 0.001) between gas production and total VFA production. There were considerable differences in the fermentability of carbohydrates between different maize silages. Nancis and Ema had more readily fermentable carbohydrate, which yielded high propionate production and a shorter lag time. 6196 and Volgate had more slowly fermentable carbohydrate, which did become available to microorganisms but after a longer lag time.

The Effect Of Concentrate Feeding Levels On The Postweanining Performance Of Holstein Friesian Calves, Mete Yanar, Olcay Güler, Bahri̇ Bayram

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The influences of different levels of concentrate on the growth characteristics of Holstein Friesian calves reared under an original calf-rearing program were investigated in this study. Forty-one new-born calves (20 male and 21 female) were allocated to the four concentrate groups: 2, 2.5, 3 kg/calf and ad libitum. The calves were weaned at 5 weeks of age, and the trial lasted for 6 months. The results with regard to weights at 6 months of age revealed that an increasing amount of concentrate supplementation resulted in a significantly (P < 0.01) higher live weight. Furthermore, daily weight gains between birth and 6 months of age was also significantly higher (P < 0.01) in the ad libitum group than in the 2, 2.5 and 3 kg/day groups. The highest overall gains in body measurements, for example body length and heart girth, were obtained from calves fed concentrate ad libitum. However, feed efficiency ratios were not significantly influenced by the various amounts of concentrate offered to calves. The overall results suggest that the appropriate level of concentrate for the new calf-rearing program should be ad libitum.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Seasonal changes in serum concentrations of the testosterone in males, 17\beta-estradiol in females and triglyceride and cholesterol in both sexes of Capoeta capoeta umbla were determined. Peak concentrations of testosterone (2.828 ± 0.278 ng/mL) and 17\beta-estradiol (3.182 ± 0.116 ng/mL) occurred in May. The concentrations of testosterone and 17b-estradiol were significantly correlated with the gonadosomatic index in both sexes. After the spawning period, steroid hormone levels significantly diminished (P < 0.05). The triglyceride concentration was highest in April (607.611 ± 30.146 mg/dL). The serum cholesterol level showed a rising trend until April and reached peak values during this month (393.000 ± 8.991 mg/dL). In the spawning month (May), a significant decrease was observed in triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations (P < 0.05). These results suggest that seasonal changes in both serum lipids and steroid hormones were associated with reproductive activity in C. c. umbla.

Effects Of Progesterone And Testosterone On The Hyaluronidase Activities And Sperm Characteristics In Sheep, Sadetti̇n Tanyildizi, Tanzer Bozkurt Jan 2002

Effects Of Progesterone And Testosterone On The Hyaluronidase Activities And Sperm Characteristics In Sheep, Sadetti̇n Tanyildizi, Tanzer Bozkurt

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of progesterone and testosterone hormones on the hyaluronidase activities of serum and semen and on sperm characteristics in sheep. Thirty healthy Akkaraman sheep were used. The progesterone and testosterone were injected intramuscularly at the rate of 0.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg, respectively. Then the blood and semen samples were obtained from the sheep at 1, 2, 4, 24, 48, 72 and 168 h. The serum hyaluronidase activities of ewes and rams in progesterone and testosterone groups increased significantly (p < 0.01, p < 0.001) when compared with the control groups at all times. Additionally, there were significant (p < 0.001) increases in the levels of semen hyaluronidase activity in the progesterone group except at 4 h. Furthermore, semen hyaluronidase activities in the testosterone group were detected to decrease significantly (p < 0.01) in comparison with the control rams except at 4 h. The use of progesterone and testosterone caused a significant (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) increase in spermatozoa motility, respectively. However, sperm concentrations were determined to decrease significantly (p < 0.01, p < 0.001) in both groups. Although the values for semen volume decreased significantly (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) in the progesterone group, the same values were observed to increase significantly (p < 0.01) in the testosterone group except at 48 h when compared with the control groups. The results of this study showed that there were no significant correlations between semen hyaluronidase activities and sperm characteristics. In conclusion, the use of both hormones did not have any deleterious effects on hyaluronidase activities but for the semen samples in the testosterone groups. However, progesterone and testosterone hormones cause harmful effects on the fertilization ability of rams due to decreased sperm concentration values.

The aim of this study was to determine immunogenic structures by immunoblotting in thermophilic Campylobacter strains isolated from chickens. The bands obtained from C. jejuni strains were found to be distributed between 10.8 and 116.5 kD by SDS-PAGE analysis of whole cell proteins. The bands 78, 63, 52, 48.5, 43.5, 29.8, 25.6, 22, 18.5, 17.2 and 16.5 kD were detected as the major common bands in all C. jejuni strains. Electrophoretic analysis of C. coli strains revealed that protein band profiles ranged between 10.3 and 118 kD, and 76, 63-62, 52, 48.5, 44 and 30.5 kD bands were all major …

This research was conducted to estimate the true digestible Trp (dTrp) requirements in nursery, growing, and late finishing pigs and the effects of supplemental Trp on physiology, behavior, and meat quality. Five experiments were conducted to estimate the dTrp requirement in nursery pigs. Using broken-line regression analysis, dTrp requirements were 0.21, 0.20, and 0.18% for Phase I (5.2 to 7.3 kg), II (6.3 to 10.2 kg), and III (10.3 to 15.7) nursery pigs. In addition, four experiments were conducted to estimate the dTrp requirements in growing and finishing pigs. Using broken-line regression analysis, the dTrp requirement of pigs weighing 30.9, …
