Role of nutrition in the maintenance of homeostatic mechanisms, including the stress, is very dense. The current study aimed to evaluate the potential effects of Spirulina ( Arthrospira ) platensis against mix stress models. For this purpose, 36 Sprague-Dawley male rats were allocated into four groups; 1. Control(C), 2. Stress(S), 3. S.platensis (Sp) and 4. S. platensis + Stress (SpS). S. platensis was applied to Sp and SpS groups by oral gavage (1500 mg/kg/day) for 28 days. All rats were exposed to light : dark cycle (long lightening period; 18h light : 6h dark) stress for 14 days. Also, S and SpS groups were stressed with additional mix stress by leaving in crowded environment and hosting alone under long lightening period. The animals which fed with S. platensis , shown significant changes in the numbers of circulating leukocytes, % of n eutrophils, and the n eutrophil : l ymphocyte ratio. However, there were no significant differences in the morphological parameters. In conclusion, the possible preventive effect of S. platensis on hematological parameters was shown in a rat’s stress model of social stress which was included mix stress under long lightening period.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115248942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anesthesia was maintained with the ketamine-xylazine combination. The tail was cut using a scalpel blade and blood at a ratio of 1% body weight was collected in capillary tubes. ECG recording was done by using the standard lead II. P and T waves, intervals of PQ, QT, and RR, and QRS complex were measured after all ECG was recorded. The amplitude of P and QRS waves were significantly higher in males than that of females (P<0.005, P<0.05 respectively). PR intervals were also longer in male mice than those of females (P<0,001). Neither blood removal nor anesthesia affected the amplitude of the QRS complex in any gender. The duration of the QRS complex was longer in males than females in both groups (P<0,01). Blood removal led to a reduction in the duration of the QRS complex in male mice (P<0.01). Anesthesia caused the prolongation of the QT and QTc in all groups (P<0,001, P<0,05 respectively). Females had longer QT interval compared to male groups (P<0,05) and blood removal caused prolongation of the QT period in females (P<0,05). An acute blood loss of 1% of body weight in male mice led to a reduction in heart rate, whereas prolongation of the QT interval in female mice. It was concluded that gender is an important factor in terms of blood-loss associated ECG alterations.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121061247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall 142 (49.3%) cattle were found positive for faecal fluke egg detections. No significant variation was observed with feeding system, body condition, breed, sex, age, peasant association (PA) and herd size considered as potential risk factors (P>0.05). However, water source was the only factor found to be significantly associated (P<0.05) with occurrence of infections where cattle drinking water form rivers had 54.55% higher than those cattle getting water from other sources. The present study suggests that Fasciola infections in cattle is high and represent one of the constraints to livestock development in the study area. Hence, good management practice including provision of properly dried hay for those zero grazing cattle, an alternative use of lands of pasture, fluke elimination by regular treatment, and further detailed study could provide valuable information that foster local planning and implementation of a more sustainable fasciolosis control strategy for the district.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127633670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study group consist of dogs with an age range from 2 to 5 years. Samples for Kangal dogs were obtained from Sivas and for Aksaray Malakli dogs from Aksaray province. Observations from ten dogs from both species (5 male and 5 female), in total 20 adult dogs were used for this study. Some of the morphological characteristics as black mask around the head, cream fur colour and holding spiral tail were found evident for Kangal dogs while in all Aksaray Malakli dogs the head and body size, thimbleful black mask around the head, and 6 th nail existence were determined as descriptive differences between the genotypes. While the effect of gender on muzzle length, body index and bone index was not found to be significant, it was found significant for other body measurements. The rump lengths in male Aksaray Malakli dogs were significantly larger than male Kangal dogs (P<0.001). However, this trait was not significant for female dogs. This can be associated with the significant interaction between breed and gender (P<0.01). Body index also showed the same trend. Also, withers height and head circumference traits were found significant (P<0.001) for male and female Aksaray Malakli dogs and for male and female Kangal dogs (P<0.01). This can be a reason for the significant interaction between breed and gender. As a conclusion, although there are some phenotypic similarities between Kangal and Aksaray Malakli dogs, obtained body measurements showed significant differences. Furthermore, Aksaray Malakli dogs tend to have bigger body structure than Kangal dogs.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132468767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study compared effects of L-NAME and/or DEXA on systemic BP of spontaneously hypertensive pregnant and non-pregnant Wistar albino rats. Method : In two simultaneous experiments 62 female rats were used. All animals were mated for 7 days. Sperm positive (n1 = 33) and negative (n2 = 29) animals were each divided randomly into 4 groups. BPs were recorded in both experiments on the 15 th day from tails indirectly, and then animals were given Physiologic Saline (Controls), L-NAME (150mg/kg/day), DEXA (100µg/kgBW/day) or L-NAME+DEXA (150mg and 100-µg per kg BW/day) for consequent 5 days. At 19 th day, BPs were measured again, before applications. Then, animals put into individual metabolic cages for 24-h urine collection. Thereafter, blood was collected under ether anesthesia, animals were euthanized and necropsied. Weights of animals (BWs), left kidneys, adrenal glands, and fetuses; food consumptions; 24-h urine volume; urinary proteins, blood glucose, and fetus numbers were determined. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and ANOVA for repeated measures. Results : In pregnant animals, L-NAME had higher BWs than DEXA and L-NAME+DEXA (P = 0.021 and P = 0.012, respectively). In non-pregnant animals, DEXA reduced BWs significantly compared with controls (P=0.042). Interventions influenced only the diastolic blood pressure of pregnant animals (P = 0.043). The difference between DEXA and L-NAME+DEXA was significant (P = 0.044). The effects of interventions on other variables varied according to whether animals are pregnant or not.

Black sea mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck) and algae (phyllophora) were used as a waste product. The samples were taken from the households where mussels were initially processed at an agar plant. Waste samples and derived additives were tested for bacterial load, quality and chemical composition. In addition, proteinmineral and mineral additive were produced from waste products. Their possible uses in poultry meat production were investigated. It was found that contamination with mesophilic bacteria and facultative anaerobic organisms fluctuates within current requirements. Sometimes even substantially exceeds them depending on waste storage conditions. The contamination with E. coli, Salmonella, and other pathogenic microorganisms is also observed within existing requirements or exceeding them. Chemical analysis reveal that intact mussels consist of average 80% wet matter and 20% dry matter, 9.4% protein, 1.2 % fat, 4.8 % nitrogen free extractive substances, 0.18% ash, 24.5 g/kg calcium, 1.0 g/kg phosphorus, 0.18 g/kg potassium. On the other hand, mussel valves consist of % 12 wet matters and % 88 dry matters, 37.2g/kg calcium, 0.2 g/kg phosphorus, 0.1 g/kg potassium. Use of additives in poultry production positively affects development and slaughter-out percentage and does not reduce the quality and biological value of their meat.

There is a strong consumer concern over genetically modified organisms (GMOs) because of their potential risks on health and environment. For this purpose, various countries including Turkey have released labelling regulations for products derived from GMOs. These legal enforcements brought the necessity for reliable detection methods. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of processing on the detection possibility of GMOs by using a commercial Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent (ELISA) assay. For this, flour mixtures containing 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 100% were prepared by mixing the appropriate amount of RUR-GM and non GM standard soy flour and main processing techniques most used in the food industry (baking, autoclaving and freezing) were applied. According to our results, the detection of GMOs was possible at all concentrations of autoclaved and frozen samples. In dry heated samples, GMOs could not be detected containing below 5% GMOs. ELISA method cannot be recommended as a reference method for evaluation of the compliance with the regulations, but it can serve as a practical alternative to be used as an online monitoring tool in production lines for raw and mildly processed foods.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130045952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seven male Red Karaman hoggets were used in the trial. Digestibilities of four different forages were determined with classical and two-stage digestibility methods. Moreover, energy contents of forages were also estimated using both digestibility values. In situ degradation characteristics of these forages were also evaluated. In the in vivo trial for digestibility, the degrees of digestibility of four different forage plants were determined by ‘’missing block trial pattern’’. In vivo organic matter digestibility (OMD) of parzuk and heliz (75.52% and 73.46%) were higher than those of dried meadow grass (68.94%) and dried alfalfa hays (65.81%), (P<0.05). These difference were reflected in energy contents and DE (digestible energy) (3.33 and 3.24Mcal/kg dry matter (DM)), ME (2.73 and 2.65 Mcal/kg) and NEL (net energy lactation) (1.73 and 1.68 Mcal/kg DM) values of parzuk and heliz were higher than those of meadow grass (3.04, 2.49 and 1.57 Mcal/kg DM) and dried alfalfa (2.90, 2.38 and 1.49 Mcal/kg DM) hays, (P<0.05).
