Veteriner Fakültesi Patoloji Anabilim Dalı, KONYAThis study was undertaken to determine pathological changes ol cerebrocortical necrosis (CCN) experimentally induced by given amprolium in lambs. Six healthy lambs, aging between 7 and 9 months and weighting between 11 and 15 kg were used as a material. Six lambs were divided into two groups to be three animals in each group ( group l,ll). Amprolium ( 600 mg/kg/day) was given per oral to the both groups of lambs by stomach tube during experiment. The symptoms of CCN in iambs were observed between 29 and 63 days of the experiment While the lambs in the group II were treated with thiamine ( 500 mg /day) after clinical symptoms of CCN were appeared, the lambs in the group I were not applied any treatment. Plasma tiamin concentration decreased dramatically from 4.42 µg/ml to 0 62 µg/ml (p< 0 01) and aftering treatment, inclined to 3.2 µg/ml in the lambs of group li Serum CPK, ALT, AST ve glucose concentration increased dramatically (p<0 01) The lambs in the group I were necropsied when the all symptoms ol CCN were observed. The lambs in the group II were necropsied when the clinical symptoms of CCN were disappered after treatment. At the necropsy, meningial hiperemia, swollen and oedematus brain tissues were observed in all the lambs ol group I. The slight oedema in the brain was detected in the lambs group II. Histologically, ichemic neuronal changes, perivasculer and perineuronal oedema, focal necrosis in cerebellar cortex and colliculus were determined in all the lambs of group I. The results of this research work showed that using long term and high dose of amprolium in lamb caused cerebrocortical necrosis and deficies thiamin of lambs with thiamin treatment would be of benefit in the care of CCN. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=662 lambamproliumCerebrocortical necrose eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 11 1 13 17 663 article Ercan Keskin 1 Zafer Durgun 1 Mehmet Kocabatmaz 1 Abdullah Eryavuz 1 S.

Besides the various formulas and technological methods have been used, also the effects of several factors such as tempareture, moisture and duration were also investigated. The poultry sausage samples developped by mixing chicken meat, beef and soybean flour in certain percentages (designed in groups) were examined from the chemical, microbiological and organoleptic point of view. All the samples were analysed at various stages of aging (1^st, 3^rd and 7^th) and storage (14^th, 21^st and 30^th) days significant differences were determined in chemical composition of poultry sausage according to the stages of aging and storage. At first day, moisture, protein and fat contents and acidity values showed differences. At 3^rd day only value of acidity, at 7^th day moisture, ashand water activity (a_w) values, at 14^th day fat ash, salt and aw values, at 21^st day moisture, protein, fat, ash and salt contents and value of pH and finally at 30th protein, fat and salt contents of sausage among the groups showed significant differences. There was no significant differnce in mikroflora between the groups in both aging and storage. Although the group C₃ differed from the other groups in the number of Staphylococcus - micrococcus microorganisms at the begining stage of aging. It was detected that the number of total microorganisms and Lactobacillus species increased among aging and storage while coliform bacteria and yeasts-moulds showed significant and Staphylococcus - micrococcus species showed slight decreasing. After 7^th day coliform bacteria was not detected. It was determined that the groups of C₂ and C₃ (consisting of chicken meat and beef) were more preferable in organoleptically, The groups B1 and B2 which were consisting of chicken meat beef and soybean flour, were detected poor in organoleptic determination. As a result it was concluded that poultry sausage might be a suitable product, producing by mixing chicken meat and beef especially using reformed chicken. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=675 PoultrySausageQuality eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 11 1 95 97 676 article Ahmet Levent Baş 1 Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology.

For this purpose,32 egg type male chickens at 1 day of age obtained from a commercial hatchery were used as materials.Animals were divided into 4 equal groups.First group was keept as control group.The other groups were used as treatment group 1.2,3. and administrated 5,10,30 mg/kg of PCB with food respectively. Animals were fed and watered ad libitum during the experiment 40 days End of the experiment.blood samples were collected heart puncture and after cutting all of the animals liver samples were taken immediately Blood serum cholesterol,triglycerides and AST values were determined spec-trophotometrically(Shimadzu 2100),Na and K levels were performed with Flame Photometer Plasma vitamin A and vitamin E values were measured with HPLC The lipid infiltrations in the cytoplasma of liver pa-ranchymal cells in controtreatment 2 and 3.groups were miid,but the other treatment group was moderate. Cholesterol, triglycerides, AST, vitamin A and vitamin E values were different from control group and found statistically significant(P<0.05).Na and K levels in the groups were not changed statistically As a result.the changing of some blood parameters were correlated with the dose level of 5,15,30 mg/kg PCB The tower levels of PCB were not produced signilicant fatty liver In chickens. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=680 Chickensfatty liverPCBCholesteroltrigfyseridesASTNaK. vitamin Avitamin E eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 11 1 125 130 681 article Ercan Keskin 1 Zafer Durgun 1 Mehmet Kocabatmaz 1 S.Ü.

Thirty five mate and 35 female, 1 to 8 week-aged Japanese quails were used in this study Haematological examination were carried out in 5 mate and 5 female quails at 1 st. 2 nd, 3 rd 4 th, 5 th, 6 th and 8 th week of ages The red blood cell (RBC) counts, haemoglobine amounts (Hb) and hematocrit values (PCV)) in both groups increased significantly with increased age (P< 0 05) The RBC, Hb and PCV were found higher in male than female in all the age periods. The RBC was significantly higher in males (3 65x 10⁶) than females (3 28x 10⁶) at 8 week of age (P<0,05), The white blood cell (WBC) and thrombocyte counts did not show evidently changes, whereas WBC in females (24-28x 10³) were found slightly higher than males (21-26 x 10³) at all weeks, in the percentage of leucocyte types were not determined any differences between sexes during eight weeks and the lymphocyte percentages (57-70%) were drastically higher than heterophils (24-36%) in both groups There was no differences between sexes in respect to the blood cell sizes where as RBC sizes were bigger in females than males at either 1 st and 8 th weeks. On the other hand, in sizes of thrombocyte and leucocyte types in both groups were not determined differences between ı st and 8 th weeks, but RBC sizes at 8 th week in both groups decreased significantly as compared with 1st week (P<0 05). Plasma glucose, cholesterol and total protein levels in both sexes increased gradually until 8 th week and plasma glucose level in males and plasma total protein level in female were higher, without differences between sexes in all ages (P>0.05) http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=681 Japanese quailblood parameterssexage eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 11 1 131 139 682 article Aşkın Yaşar 1 S.Ü.Vet.Fak.,Veteriner Hekimliği Tarihi ve Deontoloji Bilim Dalı, KONYAVeterinary Faculty of Selçuk University was established (By the force of 2547th. code of Higher Education Laws) in 1982.
