Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Antigenic relatedness of 4 highly virulent infectious bursal disease viruses (Agean: G34, G35; Marmara: G41; Central Anatolia: ETL3) isolated from infectious bursal disease outbreaks that occured during 1990's in Turkey were investigated compara-tively with the reference serotype 1 classic D78 strain, variant E (Ev) and serotype 2 OH viruses by cross virus neutralization (VN). Antigeanic relatedness values (R) for all the viruses were calculated from geometric mean antibody titers of minimum of three tests. Cross-neutralization studies indicated that there are 2 antigenic sub-groups exist among the regional highly virulent viruses. G34, G41 and ETL3 strains that were isolated from clinical …

Linear Regression Analysis With Missing Observations Among Theindependent Variables In Animal Breeding, G. Tamer Kayaalp Jan 1999

Linear Regression Analysis With Missing Observations Among Theindependent Variables In Animal Breeding, G. Tamer Kayaalp

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In animal breeding, when there is a relationship between the dependent (Y) and independent (X) variables, regression analysis is applied. But when one of the variables has one or more missing observations regression analysis cannot be applied. This paper illustrates and discusses a regression analysis in which the independent variable (X) has a missing observation.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Caecal coccidiosis was determined in 12 white Leghorn chickens aged 18 weeks. Macroscopically, slight thickness, con-gestion and petechie were observed in the caecum. The lumen of caecum was full of blood and, necrotic areas were seen on the mucosal surface due to the damagae of villi epithelisl cells. Microscopically, it was observed that erythrocyte, epithelial cells and forms of parasites were present in the lumen of caecum due to the damage of villi epithelial cells. Lymphocyte, plasma cell and heterophil cell infiltrations were found in the propria mucosa as well as gangrenous typhilitis containing focal necrosis.
