    First report of ribeiroia (platyhelminthes: trematoda) ınfection in frogs from Turkey.

    Frog meat is one of the most desired dishes in some famous world restaurants. Turkey exports millions of frogs collected from the nature in each year. Knowledge on the parasitic fauna of the frogs is very limited. The frogs (Rana ridibunda Pallas, 1771.) collected from central Anatolia (Ankara province and its vicinity) for exporting to EU countries were examined for tissue parasites. At inspection, yellow colored cystic structures with a diameter of 0.40 - 0.55 mm were observed among muscles. Number of the cysts in examined 33 frogs varied from 12 to 61. In the microscopic examination of the cysts, metacercariae of the genus Ribeiroia (Trematoda: Psilostomidae) were identified for the first time in Turkey. In North America, Ribeiroia is known to cause limb deformities in amphibians, and, since the infection has been included in the list of emerging diseases, these observations have evoked concern within the scientific and business communities.

    Relations between day-old chick length and body weight in broiler, quail and layer
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2009-02-27) Petek, Metin; Orman, Abdülkadir; Dikmen, Serdal; Alpay, Fazlı; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi.
    This study was made to investigate the relations between day old chick length and body weight in broiler, quail and layer chicks. Day old chicks in all kind of poultry were assessed based on length as short, middle and long by measuring the length of stretched chick from the tip of the beak to tip of the middle toe using a ruler. Then, they were weighed. There was a significant positive correlation between the day old chick length and body weight in all groups in broiler and quail chicks. The body weight and chick length uniformity in long groups in all poultry was better than the short groups. In a conclusion, measuring body length may be a useful tool to estimate growth potential rather than using hatch body weight.
