A Research On Rearing Calves With Acidified Whole Milk, Atti̇la Kaya, Can Uzmay, Ahmet Alçi̇çek, İbrahi̇m Kaya
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of acidified whole milk fed at 10 % of body weight on calf performance, and the incidence of scours. Twenty Holstein calves were assigned to one of two dietary treatments (whole milk or acidified whole milk), each consisting of 10 calves (5 male and 5 female), from d 5 to d 46 of age for a 42-d trial. Calves were fed either warm whole milk (35 to 37 0C) or acidified cold whole milk (acidified with formic acid to pH 4.8 and given at 10 to 20 0C) from nipple …

A Study On Blood Group Allelles Of Denizli Fowl, Fevzi̇ Tahi̇r Aksoy, Okan Ertuğrul, Fati̇h Atasoy, Şükrü Gürler, Meti̇n Erdoğan
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Blood group alleles and their frequencies were estimated within a Denizli fowl flock. Sixteen full sib family groups we- re formed to facilitate the identification of segregating alleles. Immune antisera were produced by means of reciprocal immunizati- ons between the parents. Reference reagents were obtained from W. E. Briles, Department of Biological Sciences, Northern Illino- is University. Reference reagents were used for the blood typing. In the flock in question, the allele genes which belong to blood group systems A, B, C, D, E and L were estimated and their frequencies calculated. In the A blood group system, A1 , …

The Effects Of Weaning Age On The Growth, Milk And Milk Fat Characteristics Of Brown Swiss Cattle, Mete Yanar, Recep Aydin
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
In this research, the effects of early weaning on the growth rate and milk production characteristics of Brown Swiss cattle in later years were investigated. The calves used in the study were weaned at 5, 7 and 9 weeks of age, and the weights obtained at 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months of age were not significantly affected by the age of weaning. The weight gains determined between 6 and 18 months of ages with 3-month intervals were also not significantly affected by the different ages of weaning. The various ages of weaning did not result in a significant …
Cost Of Mastitis In Scottish Dairy Herds With Low And High Subclinical Mastitis Problems, Cengi̇z Yalçin
Cost Of Mastitis In Scottish Dairy Herds With Low And High Subclinical Mastitis Problems, Cengi̇z Yalçin
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aim of this study was to estimate the cost of mastitis and the contribution of each cost component of mastitis to the total mastitis induced cost in herds with low and high levels of subclinical mastitis under Scottish field conditions. It was estimated that mastitis cost £140 per cow/year to the average Scottish dairy farmer in 1996. However, this figure was as low as £69 per cow/year in herds with lower levels of subclinical mastitis, and as high as £228 cow/year in herds with high sub- clinical mastitis. The magnitude and proportion of the cost components in the total …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The effects of some commonly consumed oils on plasma lipids, lipid peroxidation and thromboxane A_ 2 (TxA _2 ) production in chicks were studied. A total of 150 1-day-old chicks were divided into 5 groups and selected as butter, margarine, sunflower oil, olive oil and corn oil groups. The oils were added to their chow as 5% (w/w) at the beginning and 7% at the end. After a period of 45 days, blood samples were obtained from the vena axillaris. Then, plasma levels of total cholesterol, HDL-C, HDL_ 2 -C, HDL _3 -C, LDL-C, thiobarbutiric acid reactive substrates (TBARS) as …

Effects Of Environmental Temperature And Dietary Ascorbic Acid On The Diurnal Feeding Pattern Of Broilers, Hasan Rüştü Kutlu, J. Michael Forbes
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The present study was carried out to determine the diurnal feeding patterns of broiler chickens given a choice between ascorbic acid (AA) supplemented and unsupplemented feeds under heated or unheated conditions. Broiler chickens were offered supplemented (with 200 mg AA/kg feed) and unsupplemented feeds, and the feeding behaviour for each feed was monitored by continuous recording of the weight of the feed container for 4 days under unheated (UH) and the next 4 days under heated (H) conditions. The weight and timing of each meal was used to calculate cumulative feed intake, AA intake, number of meals, mean meal size …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Protein bands of hydatid fluids of sheep liver were determined by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, and this was followed by the determination of specific bands of hydatid cysts for sheep and humans. For diagnostic purposes, 30 positive and 20 negative sheep sera, 1 commercially obtained non-infected sheep serum, and 10 posi- tive and 10 negative human sera were used in this experiment. According to our results, the specific protein band for hydatid dis- ease in sheep was determined as 116 kDa, while the specific protein bands for hydatid disease in humans were determined as 68 and 8 kDa. We determined …

The Monthly Variations In The Blood Glucose Level Of Capoeta Capoeta Capoeta (G.Ldenstaedt, 1772) Living In Aras River, Seyi̇t Aydin, Ayhan Yildirim, Orhan Erdoğan
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
In this study, the monthly variation in the blood glucose level of Capoeta capoeta capoeta caught from Aras between August 1995 and June 1996 was determined. The average blood glucose level was determined to be 112.04±5.19 mg/dl in males and 106.32±9.68 mg/dl in females and 110.06±4.19 mg/dl in the population. The blood glucose level was highest (141.07±13.67 mg/dl) in April, and lowest (69.14±9.75 mg/dl) in September. It was deter- mined that the level of blood glucose was related to temperature and reproduction.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The objective of this study is to compare meat yield and chemical composition of blue crabs and sand carbs. The ratio of crude protein (18.93%), dry matter (22.43%) and crude ash (2.34%) in the meat taken from male individuals were found to be higher in sand crabs than in blue crabs, but lipid levels were not statistically different for male individuals of the two species (p>0.05). However, crude ash (2.36%) and lipid (1.33%) levels were found to be higher in the cheliped meat of sand crabs in the same individuals. The ratio of crude protein (17.55%), dry matter (21.93%), …

This study was conducted in pregnant and aborted sheep to determine Toxoplasma gondiiantibodies. Blood samples were collected from a total of 154 sheep from 22 different herds during the period December 1996-January 1997 in Elazig and vicinity. Of these 154 sheep, 56 were pregnant, 57 aborted in the previous year and the remaining 41 sheep aborted within the period of the study. Sera obtained properly from these blood samples were examined by Sabine-Feldman (SF) test. Seropositivity for Toxoplasma gondiiinfection was determined in 72 (46.8%) of the 154 sheep at the titers ranging from 1/16 to 1/1024. The seropositivity rates of …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of paratuberculosis in dairy cattle in ElazİÛ and the surrounding villages. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on IS900, an insertion sequence specific to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, was used to detect mycobacterial DNA in milk samples of 500 dairy cows. The detection limit of the PCR was assessed by spiking a known negative milk sample with a dilution series (1x10 9 to 10 bacteria/ml) of reference M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis culture). In the agarose gel examination of the PCR amplified products, approximately 50 bacteria/ml were detected. In the examination …

Remifentanil (4-methoxycarbonyl-4-[(1-oxopropyl)phyenylamino]-1- piperidinepropionic acid methyl ester) is a μ-opioid receptor agonist with considerable abuse potential in racing horses. The identification of its major equine urinary metabolite, 4-methoxycarbonyl-4-[(1- oxopropyl)phenylamino]-1-piperidinepropionic acid, an ester hydrolysis product of remifentanil is reported. Administration of remifentanil HCl (5 mg, intravenous) produced clear-cut locomotor responses, establishing the clinical efficacy of this dose. ELISA analysis of postadministration urine samples readily detected fentanyl equivalents in these samples. Mass spectrometric analysis, using solid-phase extraction and trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatization, showed the urine samples contained parent remifentanil in low concentrations, peaking at 1 h. More significantly, a major peak was identified as …
