In this investigation, 1752 chicks at 5-weeks old were obtained from 21 male and 105 female quail and used as the animal material. Animals were reared at the Veterinary Faculty Farm of Selçuk University, Turkey. After correcting the 5-weeks body weights for sex effect, heritabilities were re-estimated. In addition; 945, 840, 735, 630 and 525 quails were selected from 1752 quails by using sensitive-separation (sampling) method, and heritabilities were estimated for each method. Heritabilities of 5-week body weights from the non-standardized and standardized data sets according to sex factor were estimated between 0.0890.610 and between 0.091-0.590 respectively. Differences between the heritability estimations from the standardized and non-standardized 5-week body weights were not statistically important (P>0.05). Heritabilities estimated by using half-sib correlations method were generally low. However, heritabilities estimated by parent-offspring correlations, parent-offspring regression and REML methods were moderate or high. Estimated heritabilities were increased while offspring numbers were gradually decreased in half-sib correlations, parent-offspring correlations and REML methods. On the other hand, we observed that the number of offspring had no significant effect on heritability estimation in parent-offspring regression method. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=111 HeritabilityEstimation methodsOffspring numberBody weightJapanese quail eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 21 3-4 15 22 112 article Bülent Bülbül 1 Mehmet Bozkurt Ataman 2 Bahri Dağdaş Uluslararası Tarımsal Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürlüğü, KONYASelçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi, Reprodüksiyon ve Suni Tohumlama Anabilim Dalı, KONYAIn this study, the effect of PGF:o + PGF^, GnRH + PGF,U, PRID + PGF3(! and ear implant + PGF:&#8222; applications on estrus synchronization and fertility in cows in lield conditions were investigaled.

Thirty-five purebred Arabian fertile mares, aged from 5 to 12 years were used between April and May. Animals were divided as treated with dinoprost group (n: 20) and control group (n: 15) Control group consisted of mares that had estrus spontaneously. Treated mares were divided into two groups according to their follicle size (^20 mm (n:9) and <20 mm (n:l 1)) detected by means of ultrasonography during dinoprost injection. The side effect score of dinoprost injection was evaluated clinically. The mares having estrus which were detected by means ol teaser stallion, endometnal edema and follicular growth were bred naturally every other day until ovulation. In the treated mares, estrus rate was 90%. The side effect score due to intramuscular dinoprost injection was 2,45± 0.95. Ovulation and pregnancy rates were 94%. 65%, and 86%, 54%, in treatment and control groups, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between treatment and control groups for ovulation and pregnancy rates. Dinoprost injection-estrus (day) and estrus-ovulation intervals (day) were 2.0+0.5, 4+1.2 and 4.6± 0,9, 5±1.06 in &20 mm and <20 mm follicle size groups on their ovary during dinoprost injection, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.0l) between two follicle size (*20 mm and <20 mm) groups for the mean interval between injection and estrus. As a result, dinoprost synchronized the estrous at a high rate. The side effects such as sweating, colic and ataxia due to dinoprost disappeared within a few hours However, variable ovulations times were obtained and lollicle on the ovaries affected estrus due to dinoprost injection.

For this purpose, 20 purebred Arabian fertile mares, aged from 5 to 12 years were used between April and May. All of the mares were observed during at least one estrous cycle. The ovulation day was accepted as day 0 (dO). The mare were observed and examined for estrus from d 14 until detection. During the same period, the uterus of all mares was examined using ultrasound and the degree o( edema was graded. On the estrus day, edema scores were as following, grade 3 (20%, n=4), grade 2 (65%. n=13), grade 1 (15%, n=3). On the ovulation day edema score was grade 0 in 16 mares (%80) and other 4 mares (%20) had grade 1 edema. After the ovulation day, all of mare had no edema in uterus as seen during the diestrus. As a result, grading the edema in the uterus could be a useful method in predicting the day of estrus and ovulation along with the use other estrus detection methods (teaser stallion, vaginal examination and follicular growth) in purebred Arabian mares. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=118 Endometrial edemaestrousmare eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 21 3-4 69 74 119 article Cemalettin Bağcı 1 Mahmut Çınar 1 Niğde Üniversitesi Bor Meslek Yüksekokulu, NİĞDEThis investigation was carried out to isolate and identify the L.monocytogenes from white pickled cheese consumed in Niğde region.

Blood samples were taken Irom the femoral arteria and the jugular vein on days 1th , 2th. 3th, and 4th of the infection in the experimental group of lambs The WBC (p<0.00l), body temperature (p<0 001), respiratory rate (p<0.001), and heart rate (p<0.01) were significantly increased in the experimental group of lambs compared with the control group of iambs. pH (p<0.01), pCO2 (p<0.01), pO2 (p<0 05). and oxygen saturation (p<0.05) in venouse blood were significantly different in the the experimental group of lambs compared with the control group of lambs. pCO2 (p<0.01) In arterial blood was significantly different in the the experimental group of lambs compared with the control group of lambs. In the histopathologic examination, interstitial pneumonia and pneumonia with ab-cessation was determined in the lung of experimental group of the lambs. The results ot this study showed that, arterial blood gases did not influenced in acute respiratory enfection, but venouse blood gases did more influenced in acute respiratory disease, therefore, evaulation of venouse blood gases in the diagnosis of respiratory disease was found to more benifical. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=127 Hespiratory tract diseasearterial and venouse blood gaseslamb
