The Use Of Mini-Titanium Plates For Osteosynthesis In Extremity Fractures Located Near Joints In Cats And Dogs, Hasan Bi̇lgi̇li̇

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was carried out with a total of 23 animals: two dogs and 21 cats. Appropriate mini-titanium plates and screws were selected with the aid of radiographs the day before the operation. All the animals were anesthesized with xylazine hydrochloride 2.3 mg/kg IM (Rompun, Bayer, Turkey) premedication followed by ketamine hydrochloride 10 mg/kg IM (Ketalar, Eczacıbaşı, Turkey) injection. The selected mini-titanium plates were shaped according to the fractured bone and applied. All the animals were monitored 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 weeks postoperatively by means of clinical and radiological examinations. Twenty-one animals showed no postoperative complications; all the …

The Possibility Of Using Goose Meat In The Production Of Salami, Ahmet Güner, Yusuf Doğruer, Gürkan Uçar, Hi̇lal Duygu Yörük

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this investigation was to compare some quality characteristics of goose-meat salami with those of turkey- and chicken-meat salami in order to determine its suitability for consumption and to able to use goose meat for meat product technology. The pH values of experimental samples were highest in the goose-meat salami and lowest in the turkey-meat salami. Moisture rates of samples produced with a mixture of two kinds of poultry meat were lower than those of the others. Salmonella, coliform group bacteria and yeast-mould microorganisms were negligible in the experimental salami samples. Salami samples produced only from goose meat …

The Effects Of Gonadotrophins On In Vitro Maturation Of Cat Oocytes, Mi̇that Evecen, Alper Baran, Çağatay Tek

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of FSH and LH hormones on in vitro development of cat oocytes. The ovaries from spayed cats were brought to the laboratory in +4 °C PBS solution two hours after being collected. The oocytes were recovered by slicing of ovaries and were separated into two groups: Group 1 (Control); TCM 199 + 5% FCS + 2.2 g/l NaHCO_3 + 0.23 mM Na Pyruvate; and Group 2 (Treatment); TCM 199 + 5% FCS + 2.2 g/l NaHCO_3 + 0.23mM Na Pyruvate + FSH (Sigma F-2293) (1 µg/ml) + LH (Sigma L-5269) …

A Study On Growth, Fattening Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Morkaraman And Kıvırcık X Morkaraman Crosses (B_1) Lambs, Mürsel Küçük, Davut Bayram, Orhan Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was carried out to compare the growth, fattening performance and carcass characteristics of Morkaraman (M) and Kıvırcık (K) x (K x M) Bı lambs. Fifty-four M and 57 K x (K x M) Bı male and female lambs were used for growth traits and 18 M and 30 K x (K x M) Bı for fattening traits, and 6 male lambs for slaughter and carcass traits. Growth was investigated from the birth to weaning (day 90). The lambs were fed, after weaning at approximately 25 kg live weight, with sainfoin and concentrates ad libitum. Fattening lasted 56 days. …

Proximal And Distal Epiphyseal Growth Of The Humerus In German Shepherd (Alsatian) Puppies, Gülsün Pazvant, Defne Bacinoğlu, Vedat Onar Jan 2002

Proximal And Distal Epiphyseal Growth Of The Humerus In German Shepherd (Alsatian) Puppies, Gülsün Pazvant, Defne Bacinoğlu, Vedat Onar

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, a total of 23 humeri of German shepherd puppies of ages between 40 and 100 days were used. It was observed that the proximal and distal epiphyseal regions were not closed and even the epiphysis was partially spongious. The width of the epiphyseal plate and epiphysis were not equal and they reached the same level with age. There were variations between the epiphysis widths of the right and left humeri and the differences between these values were statistically significant. When the right and left humeri measurements were analysed for correlation with each other, a significant high positive …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

For the first time in Turkey, renal autotransplantation in 7 cats and renal allotransplantation in 7 cats having blood-crossmatch-compatible donors were performed. Immunosuppression was maintained by a prednisolone-cyclosporin combination in the renal allotransplantation group. All cats in the renal allotransplantation group died during the operation or between 3 and 72 h postoperatively. Two cats in the renal autotransplantation group survived approximately 2 years. Hyperacute or acute rejection findings were not encountered according to perioperative observations, laboratory findings or histopathological evaluations of renal allografts. The results of histopathological evaluations of renal allografts indicated acute tubular necrosis (ATN) findings caused by renal …
