Metin Münir Kıran, Şenay Berkin, Osman Kaya, Zuhal Dinçer — 1993-01-01

In this study, 1083 lungs taken from various breeds of sheep were macroscopically examined at the "Meat and Fishery Organisation Konya Meat Combine". Out of 1083 lungs examined, in 273 cases (25.2 %), macroscopic lesions were detected. Histologically, pneumonias were classified as follows; 1. Catarrhal-purulent bronchopneumonia (0.5 %), 2. Necrotic bronchopneumonia with abscessation (3.2 %), 3. Interstitial pneumonia (1.8 %), 4. Verminous pneumonia (11.8 %), and5. Pulmonary adenomatosis (7.9 %). There was no relationship between isolated microorganisms and the pathological lesions

The arteriel blood supply of brain in Angora goats

I. Hakkı Nur — 1993-01-01

This study was made to investigate the arterial blood supply of brain in Angora goats. In this study, ten heads of Angora goats were used. In the investigation of the materials, latex was tnjected through the carotid comman artery. The brain is supplied with the internal carotid artery arising from the rete mirabile epidurale rastrale that is formed by maxillar artery, not with branches of the vertebral artery, condylar artery and meningeal medial artery. Giving the cerebral medial artery, the internal carotid artery continues as the cerebral rastral artery. The right and left cerebral rostral arteries are connected by means of the communicans rastral arteries. The corporis cal!osi artery arises from the connecting angle. The marginal artery runs in very strong dura mater sheath and it gives the ethmoidal internal artery. The communicans caudal artery is the caudal extention of the carotid internal artery. The basi/ar artery is formed connecting the right and left communicans arteries. The basilar artery gives the medullar and paramedian branches. The basilar artery continues as the spinal ventral artery on the cauda/ part of the medulla oblongata. The labyrinthine artery arises from the cerebellar caudal artery.

Zafer Durgun, Mursayettin Eksen, Ercan Keskin — 1993-01-01

In this study, 11 male, 7 temale Kangal do gs and 18 male, 10 temale German Wolfdogs, aged, 1-3 were used. The required blood for haematological analysis were taken from v. cephalica antebrachi or v. saphena parva. In this investigation, the mean of red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), blood platelet counts and me an of hemoglobin amaund (Hb) and hemataerit values (PVC) in ma/e Kangal dogs were fo und to be 5. 60x10⁶ , 10.22x10³ , 3.17x10⁵ /mm³ , 12.56 gldl and 42.64 % whereas the same values in female Kangal dogs were determined to be 5.76x10⁶ , 9.66x10³ , 3.06x10⁵ /mm³ , 15.43 gld/ and 52.43 %, respectively. On the other hand the same values w ere fo und to be 6. 09x10⁶ , 9.47x10³ , 3.13x10⁵ /mm³ , 15.32 gldl and 47.11% in ma/e German Wolfdogs and 5.17x10⁶ , 8.85x10³ , 2.87x10⁵ /mm³ , 14.00gld/ and 40.80 % in tema/e German Wolfdogs, respectively. The Mean Corpuscu/ar Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH) and Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) in both dogs anchestory were determined higher in temale than male. In this study, band neutrophiles, polymorphnuclear neutrophiles, lymphocytes, monocytes and eosinophiles were determined as 2.00, 66.56, 22.35, 4.36 and 4.73 % in male Kangal dogs, whereas the same values found to be 0.86, 65.43, 26.43, 3.43 and 3.86 % in female Kangal dogs, respectively. On the other hand, the same values were fo und to be 1.28, 70. 44, 19.28, 4.39 and 4.61 %in male German Wolfdogs, 0.70, 65.50, 24.20, 4.30 and 5.30 % in female German Wolfdogs, respectively. The values of the erytrocyte sedimentation rat e (ESR) at 30 th min, 1 st, 2 nd and 24 th hours in Kangal dogs were determined higher than the German Wolfdogs.

Feridun Öztürk, Sibel Yavru, Atilla Şimşek, Hüdaverdi Erer — 1993-01-01

A highly fethal disease, suspected of, resembling Rinderpest, was diagnosed as a result of elinical and pathological examinations, in calves, in october 1991. in Konya. Total of 9 specimens, including 2 mesenteriallymph nodes, 2 spleens, 2 buffy coat samples and 3 nasal swaps was obtained for virology testing from Rinderpest suspected calves. The inoculation of specimens to Foetal Calf Kidney (FCK) cell cultures, showed that, 4 of the specimens of the 2 mesenterial lymph nodes and 2 nasal swaps was positive for cytopathologic effect (CPE). The histopathologic examination of specimens with CPE in cell cultures, revealed intrastoplasmic and intranuclear inclusion bodies.

M. Kemal Çiftçi, Şenay Berkin, S. Serap Türkütanıt — 1993-01-01

In this study, 1577 beef cattle were examinad to determine the incidence of liver abscesses and the relation of stomach lesions to abscess of the liver. The following results were obtained; 1- Among 1577 beef cattle examined from February 1990 to March 1991, 30 (1.9%) had liver abbcesses. Of these, rumenitis-liver abscess com/ex in the 21 (1.3%) cases were shown. 2- In the stomach of 30 beef cattla with liver abscesses, rumenitis in the 12(40%), hyperkeratosis of the rumen in the 4 (13.3%) and traumatic reticulitis in the 9 (30%) cattle were seen. But any lesions were not observed in other 5 (16.7%) cases. 3- Bacteriological examinations were not conducted. However, the histological appearences of liver absceeses were similar to those developed due to F. necrophorum.

Six non-lactating, non-pregnant adult ewes divided into two groups of 3 animal each as a control and experimental groups were u sed to evaluate the effect of phlorhizin-induced ketosis on plasma and rumen fluid riboflavin and niacin concentrations. The me an pH values and the counts of protozoa and bacteria of the rumen fluid in experimental group did not change significantly (p>0.05). Alteration of plasma riboflavin concentration in experimental group w as not significant (p>O. 05). Whereas both plasma and rumen fluid niacin concentrations decreased from 5. 03 mc gl ml and 9. 53 mcg/ml to 2.39 mcg/ml and 2.41 mcglml respectively and decraements in both plasma and rumen fluid niacin concentrations were significant (p<0.05).

Macroanatomical and subgross studies on the lumbosacral plexus of the donkey (Equus asinus 1.)

Hasan Erden — 1993-01-01

In this study, the Jumbosacral plexus of the donkey was investigated macroanatomically and subgrossly. For this purpose, eight donkeys in different sexes were used. The results showed that one animal had tour, five anima/s had five, two anima/s had six lu mb ar vertebrae. Therefore, the significant differences in both the formatian of the Jumbosacral plexus and the sp ina! nerves arising from the plexus were alsa determined. On the contrary, there were no significant differences in the course and distribution patterns of the spinal nerves arising from the Jumbosacral plexus among the do'nkeys studied and alsa between results of previous workers who have studied on the horse.

Macroanatomical investigations on the dural sinuses in Akkaraman sheep and their extracranial connections

Hasan Erden — 1993-01-01

The dural sinuses of Akkaraman sheep and their connections with veins of the he ad and neck were studied by macroanatomic observations. Information obtained from gross dissection supports the idea suggesting the cavernous sin us plays a very significant role in the termoregulation of the brain, since it has been a critical anatomical position and connections with the extracranial veins.
