The Effect Of Aflatoxin B1 On The Vitamin A Storage In The Livers Of Broiler Chicks, Berri̇n Salmanoğlu Jan 2002

The Effect Of Aflatoxin B1 On The Vitamin A Storage In The Livers Of Broiler Chicks, Berri̇n Salmanoğlu

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The effect of AFB1 in feed on the liver and serum vitamin A and b-carotene levels and the ability of the liver to stor vitamin A in broiler chicks were investigated. Twenty day-old Ross broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 4 groups with 5 each in the control group, group I, group II, and group III. The chicks of the control group and group I were fed ad libitum on broiler chick growing feed. The chicks of group II and group III were fed ad libitum on feed with AFB1 (4 ppm/kg) feed. On the seventh day, vitamin A palmitate …


The Evaluation Of Renal Allo And Autotransplantation Results In Cats, Fatma Eser Özgenci̇l, Ömer Beşalti, Ahmet Özak, Nalan Karademi̇r, Jale Erdeğer, Betül Tanyel Jan 2002

The Evaluation Of Renal Allo And Autotransplantation Results In Cats, Fatma Eser Özgenci̇l, Ömer Beşalti, Ahmet Özak, Nalan Karademi̇r, Jale Erdeğer, Betül Tanyel

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

For the first time in Turkey, renal autotransplantation in 7 cats and renal allotransplantation in 7 cats having blood-crossmatch-compatible donors were performed. Immunosuppression was maintained by a prednisolone-cyclosporin combination in the renal allotransplantation group. All cats in the renal allotransplantation group died during the operation or between 3 and 72 h postoperatively. Two cats in the renal autotransplantation group survived approximately 2 years. Hyperacute or acute rejection findings were not encountered according to perioperative observations, laboratory findings or histopathological evaluations of renal allografts. The results of histopathological evaluations of renal allografts indicated acute tubular necrosis (ATN) findings caused by renal …


Immunoblot Analysis Of Campylobacters Of Chickens, Mehmet Akan, Jale Erdeğer, Zi̇ya İlhan Jan 2002

Immunoblot Analysis Of Campylobacters Of Chickens, Mehmet Akan, Jale Erdeğer, Zi̇ya İlhan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this study was to determine immunogenic structures by immunoblotting in thermophilic Campylobacter strains isolated from chickens. The bands obtained from C. jejuni strains were found to be distributed between 10.8 and 116.5 kD by SDS-PAGE analysis of whole cell proteins. The bands 78, 63, 52, 48.5, 43.5, 29.8, 25.6, 22, 18.5, 17.2 and 16.5 kD were detected as the major common bands in all C. jejuni strains. Electrophoretic analysis of C. coli strains revealed that protein band profiles ranged between 10.3 and 118 kD, and 76, 63-62, 52, 48.5, 44 and 30.5 kD bands were all major …


Approaches To Measuring The Frequency Of Achondroplasia And Hypochondroplasia Causing Fgfr-3 Mutations In Human Sperm, Andrew Timothy Daters Jan 2002

Approaches To Measuring The Frequency Of Achondroplasia And Hypochondroplasia Causing Fgfr-3 Mutations In Human Sperm, Andrew Timothy Daters

LSU Master's Theses

Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia are two forms of skeletal dysplasias caused predominantly by single base mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene (FGFR-3). The mutation for achondroplasia is a G1138A/C substitution and the mutation for hypochondroplasia (occurring about 50% of the time) is a C1620A/G substitution. Recent genetic studies have shown that spontaneous mutations for achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia occur exclusively on the paternally derived chromosome, suggesting that these mutations occur preferentially during spermatogenesis. For unknown reasons, the mutation rates at these FGFR-3 nucleotides appear to occur at a much higher frequency than nucleotide specific mutation rates observed in other …


Evaluation Of Feeding Chlamydospores Of Duddingtonia Flagrans To Ewe/Lamb Pairs And Weaned Lambs To Biologically Control Levels Of Haemonchus On Pasture, Natalee Peart Jan 2002

Evaluation Of Feeding Chlamydospores Of Duddingtonia Flagrans To Ewe/Lamb Pairs And Weaned Lambs To Biologically Control Levels Of Haemonchus On Pasture, Natalee Peart

LSU Master's Theses

Gastroenteritis caused by the nematode parasite Haemonchus contortus is a serious concern for small ruminants in the tropics and subtropics. Control is traditionally by anthelmintics and pasture management, however this specific nematode parasite has become resistant to many anthelmintics and research is now focused on novel control methods including biological control using the nematode-trapping fungus, Duddingtonia flagrans. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of feeding chlamydospores of the fungus at a dosage of 5 x 105 spores/kg of BW to ewe/lamb pairs (Trial 1) and weaned lambs (Trial 2) for a total of 17 and 8 …
