Survival Rate, Growth Characteristics And Some Body Measurements Of Akkaraman And Sakız (Chios) X Akkaraman F_1 Lambs, Necmetti̇n Ünal
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was carried out to investigate the survival rate, growth characteristics and some body measurements of Akkaraman and Sakız (Chios) x Akkaraman F_1 lambs. The Akkaraman breed has a fat tail and is raised in Central Anatolia, while Sakız has a long, but low fat tail and is raised in coastal areas of Western Anatolia. In the study, fertility results of Akkaraman x Akkaraman and Sakız x Akkaraman (SA) were determined to be 83.67 and 75.44% for birth rates, and 1.12 and 1.16 for litter size, respectively. The survival rates of Akkaraman and SA F_1 lambs at weaning (90 …

Investigations On Improving The Meat Production Of Slaughter Lambs By Crossbreeding Studies Between Turkish Merino, Chios And Kıvırcık Sheep Breeds 1. Fertility, Lamb Survival And Growth Of Lambs, Mustafa Özcan, Alper Yilmaz, Münevver Akgündüz
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was carried out at Marmara Animal Research Institute in 1998-1999. The aim was to investigate the improvement in lamb production achieved by the use of Turkish Merino rams as a father line for the production of two-way and three-way crossbred slaughter lambs, together with intensive fattening programs. In this first part of the study, the fertility of ewes and the survival and growth characteristics of lambs were taken into consideration. For the fertility characteristics of Kıvırcık, Chios x Kıvırcık (F_1) and Turkish Merino ewes mated with Turkish Merino rams, conception rates were 75%, 88% and 93.33%, litter sizes …

In this study, the growth and enterotoxin production abilities of enterotoxigenic S. aureus strains in cream pastries were investigated. The cream was inoculated with enterotoxigenic S. aureus strains, which produce A (SEA 10652 FDA 196E), B (SEB 10654 FDA 243), C (SEC 10655 137) and D (SED 10656 494) type toxins as mixtures at 103, 104 and 105 cfu/g levels. Cream pastry samples produced with these cream mixtures were stored at 4°C, 10°C, 18°C, room temperature (23-26°C) and 30°C for 48 hours. The samples taken after 2, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours during this experiment were analysed microbiologically, physico-chemically …
Studies On The Age, Growth And Reproduction Characteristics Of The Chub, Leuciscus Cephalus Orientalis, (Nordmann, 1840) In Karasu River, Turkey, Orhan Erdoğan, Mustafa Türkmen, Ayhan Yildirim
Studies On The Age, Growth And Reproduction Characteristics Of The Chub, Leuciscus Cephalus Orientalis, (Nordmann, 1840) In Karasu River, Turkey, Orhan Erdoğan, Mustafa Türkmen, Ayhan Yildirim
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study is based on the examination of 759 chubs from Karasu River (40° 45´ 33´´ E, 39° 56´ 16´´ N) between November 1995 and October 1997. This population comprised seven age groups of males and nine of females. The second age group was dominant in the population. Individuals were composed of 50.46% males and 49.54% females. The male and female ratio was 1:1.019 (M:F). The Von Bertalanffy growth parameters and length-weight relationships were; L_t = 35.8765 (1-e^{-0.1241(t+1.16660)}), W_t = 583.2981 (1-e^{-0.1241(t+1.16660)})^{2.952}, W = 0.0150 FL^{2.952} in males and L_t = 41.4154 (1-e^{-0.1160(t+1.3207)}), W_t = 936.3338 (1-e^{-0.1160(t+1.3207)})^{2.980}, W = 0.0142 …
Growth Performance, Body Traits And Fillet Composition Of The European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus Labrax) Reared In Various Salinities And Fresh Water, O. Tufan Eroldoğan, Meti̇n Kumlu
Growth Performance, Body Traits And Fillet Composition Of The European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus Labrax) Reared In Various Salinities And Fresh Water, O. Tufan Eroldoğan, Meti̇n Kumlu
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The effects of various salinities and fresh water (FW) (0.4 ppt) on the growth performance, body traits and fillet composition of juvenile and young sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in FW were investigated in two separate experiments in this study. In Experiment 1, following acclimation, sea bass juveniles (9.5 ± 0.5 g) were reared in 240-L fibreglass tanks (40 x 40 x 150 cm) for 90 days in five different treatments (FW, 10, 20, 30 and 40 ppt). The fish cultured in FW, 10 and 20 ppt grew better than those at 30 or 40 ppt (P < 0.05). Salinity did not affect the crude protein, lipid or ash content of the fish (P > 0.05). Yet, the dry …

The Effect Of Concentrate Feeding Levels On The Postweanining Performance Of Holstein Friesian Calves, Mete Yanar, Olcay Güler, Bahri̇ Bayram
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The influences of different levels of concentrate on the growth characteristics of Holstein Friesian calves reared under an original calf-rearing program were investigated in this study. Forty-one new-born calves (20 male and 21 female) were allocated to the four concentrate groups: 2, 2.5, 3 kg/calf and ad libitum. The calves were weaned at 5 weeks of age, and the trial lasted for 6 months. The results with regard to weights at 6 months of age revealed that an increasing amount of concentrate supplementation resulted in a significantly (P < 0.01) higher live weight. Furthermore, daily weight gains between birth and 6 months of age was also significantly higher (P < 0.01) in the ad libitum group than in the 2, 2.5 and 3 kg/day groups. The highest overall gains in body measurements, for example body length and heart girth, were obtained from calves fed concentrate ad libitum. However, feed efficiency ratios were not significantly influenced by the various amounts of concentrate offered to calves. The overall results suggest that the appropriate level of concentrate for the new calf-rearing program should be ad libitum.

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. …
