The Effects Of Fermented Soybean Meal On Growth Performance And Immune Characteristics In Weaned Piglets, Xin Liu, Jianlei Feng, Zirong Xu, Yaping Lu, Yuanyuan Liu
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of fermented soybean meal (FSBM) on growth performance and immune characteristics of piglets. In all, 60 crossbred piglets (Duroc x Landrace x Yorkshire) were allocated to 2 dietary treatments; 3 replications of 10 pigs were used for each treatment, and all piglets were weaned at 35 days and fed for 23 days. The results showed that average daily gain (ADG) improved (1.44% vs. 1.36%) in piglets fed the FSBM diet and feed gain ratio (FGR) decreased by 5.56% (P < 0.05) compared to the controls (soybean meal treatment). The level of serum IgG decreased 27.2% (P < 0.01) in piglets fed FSBM. Lymphocytes from whole blood had a lower proliferative response to concanavalin A (ConA) (P < 0.01) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the splenocytes of piglets fed FSBM also showed lower proliferative response to ConA (P < 0.05) and LPS (P < 0.01). The results indicated that FSBM was beneficial to growth performance and decreased the immune response to soybean protein in piglets.

Zoometrical Body Measurements And Their Relation With Liveweight In Native Turkish Geese, Mustafa Saatci, Muammer Ti̇lki̇
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aims of this study were to determine the body measurements of native Turkish geese and to define the relationship between these measurements and liveweight. The differences in head diameter and neck length between the sexes became significant at 10, 12, 14 and 16 weeks of age (P < 0.05-0.01). The beak and wing lengths increased with age and were longer in males than in females at 12, 14 and 16 weeks of age. The effect of sex on body and trunk length was significant at 14 and 16 weeks (P < 0.05-0.01). Chest depth, girth and width increased with age. The positive correlations (0.88-0.97) of liveweight with head diameter, neck length, body length, trunk length, chest girth, wing length and metatarsus length at 2 weeks of age were highly significant. The most reliable prediction from the regression analyses was between liveweight and body length + chest girth in weeks 2 and 8 (R^2 = 94%). Our study presents the body measurements and the correlations between these measurements and liveweight in geese of different ages. These correlations might be used to evaluate the liveweight of studied geese population and for selection based on liveweight.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study aimed to determine the haematological and biochemical changes that occur in buffaloes with parturient haemoglobinuria (PHU). For this purpose, serum samples from 60 PHU-affected and 60 apparently healthy buffaloes were collected and analysed. Mean erythrocyte count (3.6 ± 1.0 10^{12}/l), haemoglobin concentration (5.8 ± 1.4 g/dl), and haematocrit (16.9 ± 2.8 %) of the PHU-affected buffaloes were lower (P < 0.001), while their erythrocyte sedimentation rate (104.1 ± 36.2 mm/h) was higher (P < 0.001) in comparison to the healthy buffaloes. Neutrophils (43.0 ± 4.5%), urea (49.7 ± 7.8 mg/dl) and creatinine (2.1 ± 0.4 mg/dl) concentrations were significantly higher in the PHU-affected buffaloes, while lymphocytes (48.7 ± 2.9%) and erythrocytic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) (92.3 ± 13.2 mU/10^9 TECs) were lower than in the healthy buffaloes. Serum phosphorus (1.9 ± 0.6 mg/dl) and copper (65.4 ± 6.0 \mu g/dl) were lower (P < 0.001), while molybdenum (171.5 ± 56.7 \mu g/dl) was higher in the PHU-affected buffaloes as compared to those values in the healthy buffaloes. It was concluded that PHU-affected buffaloes usually suffer from severe anaemia and hypophosphataemia, and erythrocytes with significantly reduced G6PD are prone to haemolysis, leading to haemoglobinuria in buffaloes.

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Overproduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species leads to oxidative stress and decreased total antioxidant capacity, which is responsible for high mortality from several diseases such as endotoxic shock. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) during endotoxemia is the major cause of vascular hyporeactivity, hypotension and multiple organ failure. We investigated whether NO-mediated oxidative stress in rat heart, aorta and mesenteric artery is involved in the attenuation of endotoxin-induced hypotension by inhibition of iNOS. In conscious male Wistar rats, injection of endotoxin (10 mg/kg, i.p.) caused a gradual fall in mean arterial pressure (MAP) for 4 hours …

The aim of this study is to compare two accepted techniques; intravenous (IV) remifentanil infusion versus its combination with paracervical block (PCB) in patients undergoing transvaginal ultrasound guided oocyte retrieval (TUGOR). One hundred unpremedicated patients were divided into two groups to receive either IV remifentanil (Group R) or IV remifentanil plus PCB (Group R+PCB). After monitoring cardiopulmonary parameters, remifentanil infusion of 0.25 µg kg^{-1} min-1 was started in both in groups. Additionally, when the patient felt dizzy, PCB with 10 ml 1% lidocaine was performed only in Group R+PCB followed by remifentanil infusion reduction to 0.15 µg kg^{-1} min-1. Hemodynamic …
