    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2015-04-07) Çeçen, Göksen; Goncagül, Gülşen; Kurt, Hasan; Mennan Pasinler Meslek Yüksekokulu; Cerrahi Ana Bilim Dalı
    This case was aimed to report clinical, radiological, ultrasonographical and bacterial culture analysis results of a young dog with prostatomegaly. An 18-month-old age Anatolian shepherd dog undergoing treatment of chronic non-healing pressure wounds in hind leg was presented with a small amount of liquid stool and prolonged straining to defecate. Prostatomegaly was diagnosed radiographically and the other examinations confirmed the pathology. Chronic prostatitis caused by prostatomegaly had developed insidiously without prior bouts of acut prostatitis in this dog. The case was treated succesfully.

    The aim of the study was to report an unusual outbreak of bovine ephemeral fever with high mortality rate. The study was conducted in a dairy cattle herd in September 2012, around Çukurova region in southern Turkey. The herd was consisting of 550 dairy cattle (n=550). In herd, 95 cattle with different symptoms died within one week. Only 225 sick cows were examined by routine clinical procedure. Necropsy was performed on 3 dead animals with dyspnea score of 3. Following clinical examinations, blood samples were taken from the most severely affected 17 cows. A haemocell counter analyzed hematologic parameters. Clinically, fever, nasal discharge and dyspnea were the common symptoms. The clinical, hematological and pathological findings were comparatively evaluated. Unlike previous reported outbreaks, affected animals had extremely severe respiratory distress caused high mortality rate. At necropsy of 3 dead animals, emphysematous lung tissue, pneumonia and edema as well as petechial hemorrhages on serosal and subendocardial surfaces of the heart were noticed. Emphysema was also identified in the subcutaneous connective tissues. Taking the results of the study into consideration, it has been determined that ephemeral fever in dairy cattle has high mortality rate (over 20%) in Adana region.

    Influence of various volatile oils as a dietary supplement on biochemical and performance parameters in broilers
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2015-04-28) Belenli, Deniz; Udum, Duygu; Cengiz, S. Şule; Polat, Ümit; Veteriner Fakültesi
    Volatile oils like rosemary, thyme and fennel oils have positive effects on poultry health and yields. The aim of this study were to investigate the effects of volatile oils on some serum biochemical parameters, growth hormone activities and growth performance in broiler chickens. A total of 180 broilers were randomly divided into 6 groups and 3 replicates of 10 animals according to supplementation of thyme oil, rosemary oil, fennel oil, oil mixture 100 ppm dosage and oil mixture 200 ppm dosage. Serum growth hormone activity and glucose concentration were not affected by dietary addition of volatile oils according to groups. However, addition of rosemary oil, thyme oil and fennel oil showed an effect on decreased serum cholesterol and partially lipid concentrations in the present study. In conclusion, supplementation of volatile oils had impressive effects on serum total cholesterol and total lipids levels in broiler diets. Whereas, growth performance results were not affected by dietary addition of volatile oils in our study.
