Leishmania Infantum In A Dog: Case Report, Remzi̇ Gönül, Seçki̇n Serdar Arun, Tamer Dodurka, Erol Handemi̇r Jan 2002

Leishmania Infantum In A Dog: Case Report, Remzi̇ Gönül, Seçki̇n Serdar Arun, Tamer Dodurka, Erol Handemi̇r

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Leishmaniasis is a worldwide, parasitic disease found in the Mediteranean area, Africa, Asia and Central and South America that affects mainly dogs, humans, and rodents. Dogs are the domestic reservoirs of the visceral form so that early detection of canine infections including complex clinical features may be important in the control of lehismaniasis. In this article we compared the clinical and laboratory results of leishmaniasis, which was diagnosed immunologically and histologically in a dog.

Effects Of Cage Density On The Performance Of Laying Hens During High Summer Temperatures, Ali̇ Altan, Özge Altan, Sezen Özkan, Kahraman Özkan, Yavuz Akbaş, Veysel Ayhan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was conducted to determine the effects of different cage densities on laying performance of white and brown hybrid layers during high summer temperatures. White layers, 68 weeks of age, were housed at a density of 3, 4 or 5 hens/cage (respectively 640, 480 and 384 cm^2/hen); brown layers were housed at 3 or 4 hens/cage (respectively 640 and 480 cm^2/hen). The results indicated that housing at 3 or 4 hens/cage did not affect egg production or egg quality significantly. Increasing the cage density to 5 hens/cage in white layers decreased egg production and Haugh Units. However, it was …

The Effect Of Long-Term Supplemental Dietary Cadmium On Lipid Peroxidation And The Antioxidant System In The Liver And Kidneys Of Rabbits, Ebru Beytut, Mesut Aksakal Jan 2002

The Effect Of Long-Term Supplemental Dietary Cadmium On Lipid Peroxidation And The Antioxidant System In The Liver And Kidneys Of Rabbits, Ebru Beytut, Mesut Aksakal

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

We investigated the effects of chronic exposure to dietary cadmium (Cd) on the levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and reduced glutathione (GSH) associated with activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the catalase (CAT) enzyme in the liver and kidneys of rabbits. Twenty 10-month-old clinically healthy New Zealand white rabbits (10/group) of 3545 ± 250 g average body weight were used. The control group was allowed to take food and tap water ad libitum, while the experimental group was given tap water containing 200 ppm CdCl_2/L for 28 weeks. Lipid peroxidation contents increased significantly in the liver (p < 0.001) and kidneys (p < 0.005) of Cd-treated rabbits. Glutathione levels decreased significantly in both the liver (p < 0.001) and the kidneys (p < 0.005) of the experimental group. Cadmium treatment caused a significant decrease in the activities of GSH-Px and CAT in the liver (p < 0.001, p < 0.01) and kidneys (p < 0.005, p < 0.1) of the rabbits. These results indicated that a Cd-induced increase in LPO was associated with reductions in GSH-Px and CAT enzyme activities, and in GSH levels in the liver and kidneys of rabbits.

Comparison Of Muscle Fatty Acids Of Three Trout Species (Salvelinus Alpinus, Salmo Trutta Fario, Oncorhynchus Mykiss) Raised Under The Same Conditions, H. İbrahi̇m Hali̇loğlu, N. Mevlüt Aras, Hasan Yeti̇m

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

During recent decades, the study of fatty acids (FAs) belonging to the n-3 family in seafood has intensified due to their beneficial effect on cardiovascular disease. This study was undertaken to determine the FA composition of muscle lipids of three different farm raised trouts (Salvelinus alpinus, Salmo trutta fario and Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed the same diet and raised under the same conditions. Palmitic acid (16:0) in total saturated fatty acid (SFA) and oleic acid (18:1 n-9) in monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) were the most abundant FAs and significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed between fish species. The differences in total SFA among the trouts were significant (P < 0.01), and O. mykiss had the highest (31.92%) SFA content while S. trutta fario showed the lowest in their edible muscle tissue. However, there was a significantly (P < 0.01) opposite observation for MUFA among the trouts, in which S. trutta fario had the highest content (41.90%) of MUFA in their muscle tissue while O. mykiss had the lowest (30.81%). The differences for the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content among the species were not significant (P > 0.05). O. mykiss had the highest n-3 PUFA (22.41%) while …
