Determination Of Antibody Production By Ifat And Elisa In Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) Immunized By Yersinia Ruckeri Bacterin, Ayşegül Kubi̇lay, Gülşen Ti̇mur

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, the induced antibody level of rainbow trout immunized by Yersinia ruckeri bacterin was determined using two serological techniques, namely, indirect fluorescent antibody (IFAT) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The induced humoral antibody levels were studied after intraperitonal injection of Yersinia ruckeri bacterin inoculates containing Freund's incomplete adjuvant or PBS in rainbow trout during the experimental period of 20 weeks. The control and experimental groups each contained 20 fish. The group which was immunized by the PBS containing bacterin inoculate received a booster injection. Experiments were carried out in 11-12°C water. Low antibodies titres were detected by ELISA …

Serological Survey Of The Infection Of Parainfluenzavirus Type 3 In Cattle In Malatya, Aykut Özdarendeli̇, Mehmet Kandi̇l

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Cattle serum samples were examined for antibodies to parainfluenza type 3 (PI-3) virus using the hemaglutination-inhibition (HI) test. These sera were taken in autumn 1994 and spring 1995 from clinically healthy cattle in Malatya. Antibodies to PI-3 virus were detected in 897 out of 1000 cattle sera 89.7%. Reciprocal antibody titres to PI-3 virus in cattle ranged from 1:16 to 1:1024. It was determined that the proportion of seropositive sera in the cattle in the spring was higher than in the autumn.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this research, the phenotypic parameters of fattening characteristics were determined and the of heritabilities of these traits were estimated in the Ile de France (IF) x Akkaraman (AK) (G_1) crossbreed male lambs. It was estimated that the widest genetic variation was daily live weight gain between the beginning of fattening and the 42nd and 56th day. It was concluded that the selection based on the daily live weight gain of the progenies to increase the meat yield in the IF X AK (G_1) sheep can be successful.

Bayesian Analysis Of Test Day Milk Yields In An Unbalanced Mixed Model Assuming Random Herd-Year-Month Effects, Mehmet Zi̇ya Firat Jan 2001

Bayesian Analysis Of Test Day Milk Yields In An Unbalanced Mixed Model Assuming Random Herd-Year-Month Effects, Mehmet Zi̇ya Firat

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The main environmental effects in a mixed model are comparison or contemporary group effects or more precisely herd-year-month of calving subclass effects. The controversial subject of much discussion about the choice between treating contemporary group effects as fixed or as random has not still been settled in dairy cow evaluation. However, these effects are usually treated as fixed since nonrandom associations between sires and herds may lead to biased predictions if herd-year-month effects are accounted for as random. On the other hand, treating herd-year-month effects as random would increase the effective number of daughters or the information with which an …

Diagnosis And Treatment Of Intussusception In A Cow, Murat Dabak, Emi̇ne Ünsaldi, Yusuf Gül

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

An 8-year-old cow admitted to the Veterinary Faculty, Internal Medicine Clinic (University of Fırat, Elazığ/TURKEY), was diagnosed with intussusception, and the diagnosis was confirmed by experimental laparotomy. Intussusception was corrected by enterectomy and intestinal anastomosis. Defecation on the day following the operation indicated normal intestinal flow. The animal was kept under observation for ten days after the operation, and had a full recovery.
