Fatty liver of hens laid in cages fed with ratian containing higher energy and high level of Vitamin A

Reşat Nuri AŞTI, Attila TANYOLAÇ, İlhami ÇELİK — 1985-01-01

This study was carried out at the light and electronmicroscopic level to investigate the effect of high energy and Vitamin A levels in the ration over the fat depositian in the liver of the Bobcock strains chickens fed in cages. Fourty mature chickens were used as material. Lipid granules in the liver epithelial cells were rarely appeared in the control group chickens. Contrary to those in the cytoplasm of the perisinusoidal cells, the num. bers of lipid granules were observed that not to increase .in the hepatic epithelial cells of the chicken subcutanely administrated with 50.000 I.U/kg Vitamin A palmitat. All the findings were observed related to the fat depositian in the liver of chickens that fed 3 months with high eneryg rations. Presence of lipids in the liver were determined as lipid accumulation rather than dejeneration. On the other hand diffuse lipid dejenerations were determined in the hepatic epithelial cells of the chickens fed both high energy and Vital!lin A level ration. In the case of high energy level together with high Vitamin A level in the ration. It is concluded that the intensity of fat depasition in the liver increased with the level of Vitamin A.

The studies on the preservation of deodorized ground anchovy in deep- freeze and the effects of freezing temperature on its microbiological and chemical qualities

Nazif ANIL — 1985-01-01

This study was carried out in two stages. At first, the anchovy fish w as eleane d off, grounded and deodorized. Later, they were analyzed arter being packed in the polyethylene pouches and stored in deep- freeze at- 18=F2°C for the periods of 7 days, 1, 8 and 6 months. The chemical and microbiological e·xperiments were conducted on fresh anchovy and frozen grouıid anchovy. The values of pH (average 5.7±0.04) and water activity (average 0.98±0.01) determined in fresh anchovy didn't show any significant differences with compared to those of ground anchovy. On the other hand, a decrease in the percentage of total acidity (average %0.88 ± 0.05 →+ %0.75), but an increase in the peroxide number (average 1.25 ± 0.43 → 6.7) were observed towards to the end of the storage periods. Thus, it was realized that the rancidity has undergone to develop even at ·the freezing temperatures. The total gemı counts determined in fresh anchovy (1.15x10⁷ /gr) have decreased down to 7.51x10⁵ /gr in frozen anchovy. The same situation was also observed in other microorganisms. No growth was seen in coliform microorganism in the 6^th month. However, the nurnerical drops of psychrophilic microorganisms were found to be not so obvious. As a result, it was determined that the freezing temperature didn't cause any significant side effect on the chemical and microbiological quality of ground anchovy during the extended storages in. deep-freeze. On the contrary, it was understood that the. low degree of freezing tem- perature has caused a mild sterilization effect on microorganisms. Thus, it became clear that the ground anchovy could be safely preserved at -18°C for at least 6 months.

Veysi ASLAN, Mehmet NİZAMLIOĞU — 1985-01-01

This investigation was carried out at the Zootechnical Research Institute in Konya from 1984 to 1985 in winter season on 20 Brown- swiss calves with enzootic pneumonia. In the investigation, to most effected calv;es in the infected herd were chosen. The serum ALP, Ca and inorganic phosphorus values and the elinical controls of calves were determined before and after the treatment. The results of ALP, Ca and inorganic -phosphorus levels before the treatment were found to be 77.1 U/L, 14.9 ının%, 8.2 mm% respectivelly. Liricoriıycin (10 mm/kg) and gentamycin (4 mg/kg) combination was injected intramuscularly to each infected calf for four consecutive days. In addition, prednisolon and antistin ampules were injected in dosage of two ampules for two days intramuscularly. ALP, Ca and inorganic phosphorus levels were determined after the treatment again. The results were foun~ to be. 64.1 U/L, 15.04 mg%, 7.8 mg% respectivelly and all of the calves recovered by this.

Chemical investigations for extraction, identification an de termination of . the poisons from animals' vicera that poisoned experimentally with carbamate groubs pecticides

H. Alırnet ACET — 1985-01-01

It is fact that agricultural drugs, especially pesticides: have been used unconsciously in the regions where intensive agriculture is made in this country. Carbamate pecticides of these were studied ta determine under our laboratory conditions. The identifications of carbaryl, baygon, mesurol, methomyl, matacil: primicarbe and promecarbe of carbamate pecticides were made witb thin-layer chromatograms. The spoted layers were developed with ten different solvent systems. Dibromoquinonchlorimide, ninhydrin, rhodamin B, rhodamin B- AgN0₃ , bromin- fluorescein reagents and UV light with short wave (254 ıim) were used to determine the spots on the developed layers. The sensitivitiy limits_and the color reactions of seven various carbamate pecticide.s were also determined with the aid of this reagents. Carbaryl, baygon- and carbaryl+ baygon mixture were given orally to ten rabbits and three dogs in LD₅₀ doses. After adınİnistering of the drugs was seen that all animals were died. Stomach in testine, li ver, kidney and spleen of these animals were removed. After the results of our research was detern1inde the above sfated chemical compounds in this organs. Carbamate pecticides were determinde at the levels of 0,5 µg or more with the aid of dibromoquinonchlorimid in this tissues samples on this laboratory conditions.

Researches on blood glucose values in pregnancy and lactation period of cows and diagnosis of subclinic ketosis

Veysi ASLAN, Mehmet NİMAZLIOĞLU — 1985-01-01

This investigation was carried out on 40 lactating Brown- Swiss at the age of 3-4 years belonging Konya Zootechnical Research Institute and on 2 cows with ketosis that were brought to ourclinics. Before starting the experiments all of the cows were inspected clinically. Twenty cows which are due 30 days at maximum for calving and 10 lactating cows that were already parturated in o- 10 days were selected. In addition, 10 cows that were parturated 6 months ago were included for experiments as a control. It was determined that all the animals during the pregnancy period w ere inefficien tly fe ed with coarse and consen tradet feed stuffs for the purpose of normal and easy parturation, and they gave lesser milk pro. duction as such 4- 5 litres per day on the average. Blood glucose levels were measured in all the cows at about 10 days before calving and at the 10^th , 20^th and 30^th days of it there- after, and milk keton bodies were tested in milk and urine by rothera method. Blood glucose values of all the animalls ·at about 10 days before calving and at the 10^th , 20^th and 30^th days of it were found to be 37.5 mg/dl, 32.5 mg/dl and 30.4 mg/dl respectively. It was determined that these values were increased up to 45.8 mg/dl after the addition of molassed sugar pulp to their ration 10 day later. On the other hand, the blood glucose levels in· 2 cows with ketosis were 23 mg/dl at average. Following the treatment all of the animals were recovered and their blood glucose levels increased to 52.5 mg/ dl.

Tevfik TEKELİ, Tülay BAYSAL, Yılmaz GÖKÇAY — 1985-01-01

In this study, the effects of penicilin - streptomycin on subclinical mastitisin dairy cattle was investigated during the dry period. The milk samples of 39 cows that were at the end of the lactation period were collected aseptically. They were examined bact;riologically whether they were infected or not. Pathogenic bacteriae were isolated from 46 milk samples. Then, 46 infected quarters were treated by penicillin- streptomycin combatination. To determine the effectiveness of the treatment, milk samples were collected from the mammary quarters after calving and were examined bacteriologically. After calving 84.78% of these infected quarters were found to be free from infection. Streptococci and E. Coli were eliminated by 100% and staphylococci and C. bovis infections were eliminated 85% during the same period.

In this, study, the effectiveness of Aliasilin ( =ampicillin soduim) in treatment of elinical mastitis was investigated in dairy eattle. Fifty cows from different races were usedin the study. One hundred fifty four infected mammary quarters were treated with Alfasilin; According to the results of the ba.cteriological examinations, the first group had 25 cases which were found to be in sensitiveness of first or cond degree to Atnpicillin. Second group included 32 cases in which hacteriological examination was not done. Forty to fifty milliter of Aifasilin solution which contained 2.5 gram Aifasilin was injected in to each infected mammary quarter by teat canal. Also, 2.5 g Aifasilin was injected intramuscularly every day. The therapy lasted for five days from evening to evening, periodically. Milk samples obtained five to six days after the traetment were controlled by CMT (California Mastitis Test) and bacteriological examinations to determine the effecti veness of the treatment. The recovery ra tes of elinical masti tis were found as 67.74% in first anel second groups, respectivelly. As the results of the experiment, Aifasilin was found to be an effective antibiotic in the treatment of elinical mastitis.

The ineidence of the Eimeria species in partridges ( Alectoris graeca) in Elazığ vicinity

Nazir DUMANLI, Edip ÖZER — 1985-01-01

The fecal sampls• obtained from partridges which were hunted by the hunters were microscopically examined by means of zinc sulphate flotation method for coccidial agents. Thirtyeight out of sixty partridges (63.33%) were fo und to be infected with Coccidia. Pozitive fecal samples were mixed with a 2.5 percent solution of potassium bichromate and placed separately into petri dishes for spörulation. Two species of Eimeria were found in the examination of sporulated fecal samples. They were Eimeria•caucasica and Eimeria kofoidi. The infestation rateof the Eimeria caucasica, Eimeria kofoidi and mix infection of the se species were 18.33%, 25% and 23.33% respectively.

The effects of eastratian and Exogenous testosterone hormone on ıhe total leucocyte count and various leucocyte types in the blood of Akkaraman ram lambs

Abdulbaki TÜRKOĞLU — 1985-01-01

The main aim of this study was to investigate the effects of eastratian and exogenous testoşterone hormone on the haematological status of Akkaraman ram lambs. The second aim of the study was to determine the changes occuring in the total leucocyte count and percentages of various types of leucocyte such as neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte and eosinophil following eastratian and to provide the use of these values in the elinical examinations of the castrat'ed sheep. Eigtheen ram labs of about three months of age were used in the study for seven months. The blood sampling was monthly carried out. Although statistically unimportant, wethers had generally higher total leucocyte count and neutrophil percentage and lower lymphocyte percentage than intact ram lambs. The most important effect was observed in the percentage of eosinophil. Wethers had significantly higher eosinophil values than intact ram lambs and testosterone- treated wethers throughout the experimental period. As a result, eastratian and exogenous testosterone hormone can be said to produce some important changes in the haematoiogical status of Akkaraman ram lambs, in addition to other metabolic effects. Finally, a great deal of studies are required to establish how castrcüion and testasterone hormone exert their effects on the haematological parameters.
