In addition, the plasma albumine and total protein concentrations (TPC) were measured in the same cats. In all cats, PT measured with the optimated test (31.95(1.99 sec.) was between the normal ranges, and therefore, there was not any disorder in the exogeneous system of the blood coagulation. Twelve of infected cats (28.6%) showed a pathologic prolonged aPTT (25.6+18.52 sec.), and 15 of cats (35.7%) showed a prolonged TT (23.73+6.98 sec.). FC in 20 cats (54.05%) and TPC in 10 cats (24.4%) were higher than the reference ranges, but the albumine concentration of 11 infected cats (36.6%) was found to be lower than the normal ranges, TPC and FC in the infected cats with a prolonged TT (30.09±1.89 sec.) were found higher than the cats with a normal (19.89+0,38 sec.) TT (p<0.05). The concentration of albumine in the infected cats with a prolonged TT were observed lower than the cats with a normal TT (p<0.05) In conclusion, this study showed that the FIV seropositive cats had no disorder in the exogeneous coagulation system, But, the endogeneous system of the blood coagulation and the fibrin formation were blocked. Disorders in the endogeneous coagulation system may be the result of decreased activities of factors and blocked fibrin formation. Although the FC was found as normal and high, there was a prolonged TT in infected cats. In spite of decreased plasma albumine concentration, the high TPC in the infected cats, especially in cats with prolonged TT may show that the increase of acute phase proteins such as±and±globulins, and gammaglobulins in the form of paraproteins may have disturbed the formation of fibrin from fibrinogen. Disorders in the endogeneus coagulation sys.tem and in the formation of fibrin did not cause hemorrhagica! sign in the infected cats. According to these results, disorders of the blood coagulation in FIV-seropositive cats may not be dangerous for spontaneous bleeding. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=438 Feline immunodeficiency virusblood coagulation eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 15 1 121 128 439 article Abdullah Kaya 1 Kenan Çoyan 1 Ahmet Semacan 2 Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi, Dölerme ve Suni Tohumlama Anabilim Dalı, KONYASelçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi, Doğum ve Jinekoloji Anabilim Dalı, KONYAThe aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of GnRH and PGF2&#945;</sub> combination, and PGF2&#945;</sub> and PGF2&#945;</sub> regimens for synchronization of estrus in cows. The study was carried out on 20 (6 Brangus, 14 Brown Swiss) cows, age ranging 3 - 5 years old. The cows were randomly devided into two groups. In group I (n=10), cows were treated with an intramuscular injection of 20 µg GnRH (day=0) a random stage of the estrous cycle, followed by PGF2&#945;</sub> 7µg days later (day=7). in group II (n=10), cows were given two injections of PGF2&#945;</sub> 11 day apart (day= 0, and 11). The cows were observed to determine the onset of the estrus for four days and then inseminated 12 hours after the onset of estrous. Blood samples were collected to determine plasma progesterone levels, in group I on the day ol GnRH and PGF2&#945;</sub> injections and at estrus. and in group II on the day of each injection of PGF2&#945;</sub> and at estrus. The mean interval from synchronization to onset of estrus, synchronization and pregnancy rates of the groups were determined. Plasma progesterone ievets on days 0 and estrous were similar (p > 0,05) between the two groups, but on the day of synchronization, in group İ were found to be higher progesterone levels than in group 11 (p < 0.01). The mean interval from synchronization to estrus in group I and II were found 54,3 ± 3.2 and 62.2 ± 3.2 hours, respectively (p> 0.05). The synchronization rate were higher in group I (% 100) than in group II (% 80) (p< 0.01), and pregnancy rate of the group I and II were % 60 and % 40 respectively (p< 0.05), The distribution of the estrous in group I concentrated between 40 and 60 hours following the synchronization, but in group II were a homogen distribution between 40 and 80 hours after the synchronization. As a conclusion, application of a GnRH analogue prior to synchronization of estrus with an injection of PGF2&#945;</sub> may provide higher results than two injections of PGF2&#945;</sub> lor estrus synchronization in cows. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=439 Cowestrus synchronizationGnRHPGF2&#945;</sub> eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 15 1 129 138 440 article Hüseyin Yıldız 1 Ali Bahadır 1 U.Ü.

Medianoulnar nerve was formed by caudal bundles ol ventral fascicle in chicken, craniolateral bundles in duck and lateral bundles in pigeon, while pectoral nerve was formed by cranial bundles of ventral fascicle in chicken, caudomedial bundles in duck and medial bundles in pigeon. In chicken and duck at 1 cm. proximat ol elbow joint, cranial bundles of medianoulnar nerve formed median nerve, caudal bundles formed ulnar nerve, while in pigeon caudomedial bundles formed median nerve and craniolateral bundles formed ulnar nerve. It was found that median nerve innervated proximal part and ulnar nerve distal part muscle and skin ol antebrachium. A decrease in the diameters of wing nerves was observed, as they extend distally. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=440 Chickennative duckpigeonventral tasciculnerve fascicle eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 15 1 139 145 441 article Cavit Arslan 1 Fatma İnal 2 K Ü.

Also unsalable milk product has been fermented and fed to calves instead of commercial milk replacors or normal milk. Fermented colostrum for young calves is an excellent source of nutrients. Also it is an effective and economic alternative to whole milk or milk re placer in diet of young calves, Mastitic milk and discard milk (unmarketable milk from cows that were treated for mastitis, metritis or other healthy problems) may be fed fresh, natural fermented or preserved with on organic acid and other chemical (NaHC03, Na-benzoat, bacterial culture, formaldehyde) for subsequent use. Abnormal milk (bloody or watery) shouldn't be fed. Milk from cows treated with antibiotics for mastitis and other disorders can be fed safely to calves, 11 can be fed in Iresh or fermented form. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=441 Fermented colostrumdiscard milkmastitic milk eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 15 1 147 154 442 article Mustafa Atasever 1 İlhami Çelik 2 Abdullah Keleş 3 Murat Boydak 2 Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Besin Hijyeni ve Teknolojisi Anabilim Dalı, AFYONSelçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Histoloji ve Embriyoloji Anabilim Dalı, KONYASelçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Besin Hijyeni ve Teknolojisi Anabilim Dalı, KONYAIn this study, lermented sausage samples of both experimentally produced by addition of different organs {larynx, lung, tongue, tripe, intestine, spleen, liver, heart, testicle and mammary gland) and 48 sausage samples obtained from markets in Konya were studied histologically. Each sample was divided into two pieces and one of Ihem was processed by routine histological techniques and immersed in paraffine blocks. The seclions were stained with hematoxylene-eosin, trichrorne and Pappenheimis panoptic slain. The other half of the sample was immersed in gelatine and stained with the same as the paraffine sections. In light microscobic investigation, tissue types in each microscopic field were counted and the data was analysed statistically in order to determine whether there was any relation between addition ratio of the organs and their observation incidence in the sections. By comparison the staining properties and histological structure of the tissues in the sections prepared by different processing procedures, an appropriate processing and staining method for sausage histology was outlined. A close relationship were observed between the addition ratio of the organs and their observation frequency in the sections, although there was not any statistically significant difference among the groups. With the advantages of paraffine method such as, sectioning is relatively easy, staining properties and preservation of the tissues are perfect; it has also some disadvantages such as time consuming, more chemicals needed and some of these chemicals are carcinogen. For these reasons, the gelatine embedding method was superior lo the paraffine method. When compared the staining methods, Irichrome staining gave the best results with its capability oi staining the epithelial, connective, muscular, cartilage tissues in different colors, in 18 (37 %) of the 48 sausage samples obtained from markets, the organ sections, which were prohibited by the related items of rules and regulations of Food Standards, were observed. As a result histological examination has been assumed a useful method in addition to the chemical, microbiological and organoleptical methods in the.control and classification of the fermented Turkish sausages. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=442 sausagequalityhistologicaltissue types eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 15 1 155 160 443 article Mustafa Arıcan 1 Ahmet Öztürk 2 S.

For a material, patients consisted of 13 dogs (10 pointer and 3 German shepherd) and 4 horses (1 akha! teke, 1 arap and 2 english). All had varying types of wounds trom superficial to ulcerated. Animals were brought for examination at the Gemlik Military Veterinary School Animal Hospital. In this study, topical collagenase was used only when routine methods had failed to heal ihe wound. Novuxol pomad was used on the wounds. After 7 days assessment of inflammation appeared reduced with wounds becoming smaller. By the 10th day all wounds had completely healed. Notably, epitheliazation had started on dermal edge of wounds by 4-5 days. Concluding that collagenase treatment can assist in wound healing were conventional methods have no succeeded. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=443 infected woundsulcerative woundscollagenasehorsedog
