A total of 90 quails were randomly separated into one control and two treatment groups. Each group was divided into six subgroups, each containing 5 animals. MMS was replaced with lime stone at the ratios of 50 and 100% in first (50% MMS) and second (100% MMS) group rations respectively. The diets were prepared to be isocaloric and isonitrogenous. Rations and water were given ad libitum. Ca source replacement did not significantly affect body weight, egg weight, egg yield, feed intake and feed conversion ratio of laying quails. The effects of MMS replacement on shape index, yolk index, yolk color, blood Ca, Mg, P levels with Mg and P levels of egg shell had no significance. Ca levels of egg shell decreased (p<0.05) in treatment groups however, the amount of crude ash of tibia was not altered. In sum, dietary MMS did not alter egg quality of laying quails. It may be concluded that MMS can be replaced with limestone in the diet of laying quails.","PeriodicalId":40564,"journal":{"name":"Acta Veterinaria Eurasia","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78449019","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}

During the 2016-2017 years, at the following areas were collected and identified: Lymnaea (L.) stagnalis (Linnaeus, 1758); L. truncatula (Muller, 1774); Planorbis (P.) corneus (Linnaeus, 1758); P. рlanorbis (Linnaeus, 1758); Viviparus contectus (Millet, 1813); Valvata piscinalis (Muller, 1774) and Succinea pfeifferi (Rossmassler, 1834). The microscopic study of the mollusks’ liver allowed us to detect the presence of pathogens of cattle trematodoses inside a certain number of the snails – Fasciola hepatica (Linnaeus, 1758) and Paramphistomum sp. (Fischoeder, 1901). At biotopes of small rivers, 8.3% of mollusks L. truncatula species, 23.5% of L. stagnalis and 5.7% of P. corneus were affected. At lakes and swamps, the number of affected L. truncatula was 36.3%, and L. stagnalis – 13.7%. It was determined the defeat of ruminants with fasciolosis and paramfistomatoses in designated regions. It testifies to the formation of sustainable natural foci of these invasions.","PeriodicalId":40564,"journal":{"name":"Acta Veterinaria Eurasia","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85829066","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}

A better understanding of the associations of respiratory pathogens may help improve our knowledge for vaccination to effectively control caprine pneumonia. One hundred and fifty goats (140 pneumonic and 10 normal) were examined for various lung pathologies using standard gross and histologic techniques. Antigens of parainfluenza 3 virus (PI3V), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) and bacterial antigens of Mannheimia haemolytica (M.haemolytica) and Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) were demonstrated immunohistochemically in the lungs. The data of goats positive and negative for the viral and bacterial antigens were analysed using descriptive statistics. Viral antigens were detected in 113 (81%) of the pneumonic lungs (100 as single, 11 dual and 2 triple). Bacterial antigens were detected in 120 (86%), M. haemolytica in 47 (34%), P. multocida in 59 (42%) and combined bacterial antigens in 14 (10%) of the pneumonic lungs. Multiple agents were detected in 108/140 positive cases; virus-bacterium association was observed in 106/108. PPRV antigens alone were observed in 15 cases. PPRV coexisted most frequently with M. haemolytica (n=20), P. multocida (n=13), PI3V with P. multocida (n=18), and RSV with M. haemolytica (n=9). The lesions corresponded to cranioventral (n=45), diffuse (n=75), and lobar consolidations (n=20) manifested as fibrinous bronchopneumonia (n=22), suppurative bronchopneumonia (n=20), bronchointerstitial pneumonia (n=61), interstitial pneumonia (n=25) and bronchiolitis (n=12). Thus, multiple infections are involved in pneumonia, hence we must consider combined vaccination strategies incorporating multiple antigens for adequate control of caprine pneumonia.","PeriodicalId":40564,"journal":{"name":"Acta Veterinaria Eurasia","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81910330","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}

For this purpose, bitches with pyometra (n=27), and healthy bitches in dioestrus (n=8) included in the study and both of the groups went under ovariohysterectomy operation. SOD and CAT enzymes were found significantly higher in uterine tissues of dioestrus group (p<0.01, p<0.05, respectively). TNF-α did not differ in uterine tissues between the groups (p>0.05).
