Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Mulberry (Morus alba) leaves contain a high amount of digestible carbohydrates, protein and minerals, making it an attractive, natural, low-cost feed ingredient in rabbit rations. The present study evaluated the effect of stepwise replacement of a concentrate diet with wilted M. alba leaves on growth performance and meat quality of rabbits. Sixty indigenous rabbits (age, 36 ± 2 days) were assigned to 5 diets (12 rabbits per diet). The 5 diets consisted of a commercial concentrate diet (control; WML0), and stepwise replacement of the concentrate with 25% (WML25), 50% (WML50), 75% (WML75), and 100% (WML100) wilted M. alba leaves.

Water determines the life quality of pigs, however, adequate measures need to be taken in order to reduce wastage while the animals are drinking. The current study hypothesized and examined a suitable position at which to fix the nipple drinker to provide sufficient drinking water to pigs while also limiting water wastage. Additionally, this study describes both the drinking pattern and drinking duration of pigs. The height to place the drinker was calculated based on the neck movement of the pigs (neck movement angle, NMA). According to the NMA, 3 independent treatments were investigated with angles placed at clockwise 30°, …

Myocardial damage and increased circulating cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentrations have been shown in various diseases that cause anemia in animals. Whether the acute anemia that occurs during these diseases directly contributes to myocardial damage and to the release of cTnI to the circulation still remains unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of acute anemia on myocardial damage and serum cTnI concentration using experimentally-induced acute normovolemic anemia. New Zealand rabbits were randomly separated into 2 groups: an acute anemia group (AG, n = 8) and a control group (CG, n = 6). To induce acute …
