Normal hemostasis is maintained by a delicate balance between the procoagulant and anticoagulant mechanism, distruplion of this balance can lead to either excessive bleeding or to clot formation.

It was found that the heart lied between Ihe second and fourth ribs in the rabbit, and the fourth and seventh nbs in the cal. The left coronary artery was stronger than the right coronary artery in both rabbit and cat. The left coronary artery gave off the septal, left marginal ventricular and left posterior ventricular branches in the rabbit.

For this purpose, 18 calves with acute respiratory disease. 17 calves with chronic respiratory disease and 11 healthy oalvos were used as materials. All calves were examined with regard to clinical examination, complete blood cell counts and BAL fluid analysis. BAL fluid was investigated cytologically. biochemically and bacteriologically. BAL fluid lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) aclivities and total protein (TP) concenlrations wero significantly higher (p< 0.01) in the calves with acute and chronic respiratory infection compared to the normal calves. BAL fluid neutrophil percentages were significantly higher (p< 0.01) in Ihe calves with acute and chronic respiratory infection compared lo Ihe normal calves. Macrophage percenlages in BAL fluid were significantly decreased in the calves with acule and chronic respiratory infection. In the same time, BAL fluid macrophage percentage was significantly higher in the calves with chronic respiratory infeclion compared lo that of the calves with acute respiratory infection. The results of this study showed thai, translracheal BAL fluid analysis was a fast, safe, simple technique producing rapid diagnosis in pneumonic calves.

To achieve this objeclive, four different sorghum varieties (Grass II, Grazer, Gözde, and P-988) harvested at earty-milk stage were utilized- Silage samples were added 0.5 % urea or 0.5 % urea plus 4 % molasses (on weight basis) and ensiled in mini-silos (1 L in volume). Silage samples were analyzed for chemical composition, pH and organic acids (Lactic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acids). In vitro DM digestibility and digestible DM yields of silages were also determined. Urea and urea + molasses addition significantly increased silage crude protein (CP) in addition to silage pH (P< 0.05). Addition of urea or urea plus molasses did not affect silage butyric and propionic acid contents, but significantly decreased acetic acid. On the other hand addition of urea or urea plus molasses increased lactic acid contents in Gözde and P-988 varieties (P< 0.05). Urea plus molasses addition increased silage DM digestibility in Grass II variety (P< 0.05), but this effect was not significant for other varieties. Digestible DM yields were not affected by additives (P> 0.05). In conclusion, addition of 0.05% urea or 0.05 % urea plus 4 % molasses into sorghum harvested at early-milk stage improved CP and DM contents of silages but had no positive effects on silage quality and digestible DM yields. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=268 Sorghum SilageUreaMolassesIn Vitro DigestibilityDigestible Dry Matter Yield eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 18 1-2 83 88 269 article Ahmet Güner 1 Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi, Besin Hijyeni ve Teknolojisi Anabilim Dalı, KONYAThis investigation was done to determine the effect of the using artificial sweeteners instead of sucrose level on the some quality charactersitics of ice cream.

Reducing of sucrose caused decreasing in ice cream mix density, overrun and total dry solids of ice cream and affected the sensory properties negatively. It was determined that aspartame had more positive effect on the taste compared to ice creams having aspartame-acesulfame K. In conclusion, it was convicted that to compensate quality defects occuned at reducing ol sucrose content of ice cream, fat and non fat milk solids amount of ice cream should be increased, and also in the production ol low sucrose or sucrose free ice cream, aspartame could be preferred. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=269 Ice-creamArtificial SweetenerAspartameAcesulfame KQuality eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 18 1-2 89 92 270 article Nurcan Dönmez 1 Zafer Durgun 2 Ramazan Çöl 2 Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi, Fizyoloji Anabilim Dalı, VANSelçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Faküllesi, Fizyoloji Anabilim Dalı, KONYAIn the present study, Zn and Cu supplemented into lamb ration containing optimum level of Zn and Cu (35 ppm and 9 ppm respectively) and their eflects on acid-base balance and some electrolytes were aimed to investigate. 24 Konya Merinos lambs 3,5 months aged and weighing 26 kg body weight were used as material.

Potassium ievel was measured to be approximately 3,9 mmol/L at time zero. With potassium infusion, the level of the serum potassium increased above 6.5 mmol/L. Application of salbutamol caused the serum potassium level to return to the control level, and also caused the ECG changes (flattness ol P wave, widening of QRS complex and bradycardia) induced by hyperkalemia to become normal.
