The Effects Of A Solar Eclipse On Animals Behavior, Orhan Özbey, M. Hani̇fi̇ Aysöndü, Hati̇ce Özer, Ü. Gülci̇han Şi̇mşek
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was conducted to determine the effects of the solar eclipse of August 11, 1999, on the behavior of birds (chickens, Pekin ducks, gulls, crows and sparrows), cattle, bees and horses. The animals were observed for 6, from 11 am to 5 pm. Abnormal and extreme behaviors were determined at the observation times. Birds, cattle, bees and horses felt the solar eclipse about 45, 20, 65 and 35 minutes before it occurred, respectively. They showed this via their behaviors. When the total solar eclipse occurred between 2:37 and 2:39 pm, laying hens and broilers crowded together. They were very …
Epizootiological Studies On Haemaphysalis Ticks In Ankara Province, Turkey, Hati̇ce Çi̇çek
Epizootiological Studies On Haemaphysalis Ticks In Ankara Province, Turkey, Hati̇ce Çi̇çek
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was carried out in Ankara province, Turkey, between September 1996 and August 1998. During the study 1208 sheep, 1001 goats and 1059 cattle were examined for Haemaphysalis ticks. These examinations revealed that 380 (37.96%) goats, 346 (28.64%) sheep and 203 (19.16%) cattle had Haemaphysalis infestation. In total, 5254 Haemaphysalis ticks were collected from these animals. They were identified as H. parva, H. sulcata, H. punctata and Haemaphysalis nymphs. Of the 5254 Haemaphysalis ticks 89.70% were H. parva adults, 0.28% H. parva nymphs, 6.64% H. sulcata adults, 2.05% H. punctata adults and 0.13% H. punctata nymphs, while 0.89% were …
Isolation Of Bacterial Agents From The Lungs Of Cattle With Pneumonia And Detection Of Pasteurella Spp. By Polymerase Chain Reaction, Ayşe Kiliç, Adi̇le Muz
Isolation Of Bacterial Agents From The Lungs Of Cattle With Pneumonia And Detection Of Pasteurella Spp. By Polymerase Chain Reaction, Ayşe Kiliç, Adi̇le Muz
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Lungs from 8222 cattle slaughtered at an abattoir in Elazığ were examined macroscopically, and pneumonia was detected in 500 (6.1%) lungs. These samples were inoculated onto blood agar supplemented with 7% sheep blood for isolation of bacterial agents. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based upon the use of species-specific primers was carried out on DNA samples extracted from suspected Pasteurella spp. isolates. In addition, a mouse inoculation test was carried out on suspected Pasteurella multocida isolates. A total of 311 (62.2%) bacterial agents were isolated from the lung samples and were identified as 7.2% Staphylococcus aureus, 6% Pasteurella multocida, 6% …
Production Of Chimeric Cattle Embryos By Reaggregation Of Blastomeres Obtained From Day 4 Bovine Embryos, Hakan Sağirkaya
Production Of Chimeric Cattle Embryos By Reaggregation Of Blastomeres Obtained From Day 4 Bovine Embryos, Hakan Sağirkaya
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of producing chimeric bovine embryos by reaggregating blastomeres of disaggregated day 4 bovine embryos. Oocytes were obtained from a slaughterhouse. Selected oocytes were matured, fertilized and cultured in vitro. Fertilization day was taken as day 0. Blastomeres of day 4 embryos were disaggregated and then pooled together. Chimeric embryos were randomly constructed by reaggregating blastomeres in empty zonae pellucidae. Non-chimeric handled control embryos were produced by transferring blastomeres from each embryo into their own empty zonae pellucidae. A total of 79 day 4 cattle embryos were used for disaggregation of …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The present study was designed to evaluate serum biochemical and haematological parameters and serum nitrate concentrations in cattle suffering from foot- and -mouth disease (FMD). For this purpose, 30 Swiss Brown cattle aged between 3 and 5 years were used. Twenty cattle showed characteristic clinical signs of FMD, whereas the remaining 10 were clinically healthy and used as controls. Peripheral blood samples were collected from both groups and used to establish total white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), haemoglobin (Hb), and haematocrit (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH). Serum …

Since the total of 150,000 doses of attenuated cell culture vaccine doses produced anually in Turkey does not meet the requirements of the country, by reducing the number of vaccine cells in a single dose, an increased number of vaccine doses was obtained for cattle, and doses consisting of different numbers of vaccine cells were tested according to their protective efficiency against tropical theileriosis in cattle. Fifty Holstein calves aged 2.5-3 months were used: 42 of them were used in vaccine dose trials while 8 were used in the determination of pathogenicity of the challenge material. In order to examine …
