Arthrogryposis and abdominal wall defect complicated with ıntestinal evantration in pekingese fetuses
(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2015-09-28) Salcı, E. Sinem Özdemir; İpek, Volkan; Cangül, İ. Taci; İntaş, Kamil Seyrek; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi.
A 3.5-year-old, pregnant Pekingese was presented with signs of dystocia. Vaginal examination revealed no fetuses in the birth canal, and no heart beats were observed in the fetuses, ultrasonographically. Four dead fetuses were retrieved by en bloc ovariohysterectomy. All fetuses had hind limb deformities and intestinal evantration was observed in three fetuses. A diagnosis of arthrogryposis and abdominal wall defect complicated with intestinal evantration was made after the macroscopic examination of the fetuses. The owner did not permit necropsy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of arthrogryposis and abdominal wall defect complicated with intestinal eventration encountered in Pekingese fetuses

Saccharomyces cerevisiae and phytase can be used as a feed supplement in combination or alone for broiler feeding. An experiment was performed to study the effect of supplemental different ratio S. cerevisiae and phytase combination on growth performances, plasma biochemical parameters and plasma enzyme activities of broiler chickens. Animal were feed ad libitum through the study. Sixty hundred 1 day-old broiler chicks were randomly selected and distributed into eight groups as control (C); phytase (P) (added 200 g Pyhase to 1000 kg of diet); S. cerevisiae (Y1) (added 0.1% S. cerevisiae of the diet); Y1+P (combination of group Y1 and P); S. cerevisiae (Y2) (added 0.2% S. cerevisiae of the diet); Y2+P (Combination of Y2 and P); Y4 (added 0.4% S. cerevisiae of the diet); Y4+P (Combination of Y4 and P) respectively. At the end of the study, blood samples were collected from 15 randomly selected broiler chickens from each group through the brachial vein on the 42nd day of the experiment. Plasma were separated and used for measurement of plasma biochemical parameters and enzyme activities. S.cerevisiae alone and combination of Phytase and S. cerevisiae increased body weight and body weight gain of broiler, especially in 6th week, except in group Y4. Although, the broiler chickens supplemented with just phytase or/and S. cerevisiae and their combination had lower plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, glucose, calcium and GGT enzyme activity , they had higher HDL-cholesterol, phosphorus and ALT enzyme. Moreover, supplementation with just phytase or/and S. cerevisiae and their combination did not change the hematocrit, plasma total protein and AST enzyme levels of the broiler chickens. These results demonstrated that phytase and S. cerevisiae alone or/and their combination improved growth performance and body weight gain of the broiler chickens. So, S.cerevisiae and phytase combination may be used as an growth enhancer. However, more studies would be necessary to obtain the effects of supplementing yeast and phytase combination on growth.
Effects on negative energy balance of tannin in dairy cattle

Tannins are polyphenolic compounds. Tannins are chemically divided into two main groups as hydrolysable tannins and condensed tannins. Tannins are used in ruminants in order to prevent ruminal tympani and the formation of high methane gas. In the present study, it was aimed to determine the effects of tannin on of negative energy balance metabolism in dairy cattle. Animals, after the physical examination, were divided into 2 groups as study (test group n = 10) and control group (n = 10). Herbal extract (Quebracho Colorado) of tannin (Unitan Saica Inc., Argentina) which is appropriate for animal use, was applied 90 gr per animal daily for 6 weeks (each 3 weeks in pre and postpartum period) to animals in study group. While no any tannin or other additive was given to the animals in control group. Faeces, blood and milk (only after parturition on days 7, 14 and 21) samples were collected from both group on 21st day before parturition, during parturition and 7th, 14th, and 21st day from parturition. Beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB), albumin, calcium, phosphorus, total protein, BUN, GGT, cholesterol and triglycerides from blood samples and milk urea nitrogen (MUN) levels from milk samples were evaluated. Difference between the groups for BUN, MUN, calcium, phosphorus, triglycerides, albumin, total protein and GGT was not detected. However, a decline was detected for BHB levels during parturition, 7th, 14th (not statistically significant) and 21st (statistically significant) days after parturition in the study group compared to the control group. As a result; in animals, as detected lower BHB levels in animals applied tannin in study group compared to the control group, tannin can be used for the protection against negative energy balance.
Outbreak of peracute urea toxicosis in sheep following the consumption of new packages of grain barley
(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2015-09-11) Oruç, Hasan Hüseyin; Çelik, Meltem; Şahintürk, Pınar; Gençoğlu, Hıdır; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü.
The objective of this report was to describe peracute urea poisoning deaths in 84 Ile de France and Merinos breed sheep due to following the consumption of new packages of grain barley on July 30, 2014 in Ivrindi, Balıkesir, Turkey. The owner of the sheep and a local veterinarian reported that in the farm there were in total 800 sheep, and 325 of animals were fed with new packages of grain barleys and 84 of which were observed dead after feeding in three-four hours. Clinical signs in all affected animals prior to death were uneasiness and ataxia, incoordination, grinding teeth, salivation, severe struggling and bellowing, abdominal bloat, lateral recumbence, convulsions, and deaths occurred in one and half hour after first clinical signs. The presences of white urea particles were intensive especially at the bottom of the packages of barley. Urea, crude protein, nitrate and nitrite analysis were performed in barley samples. Analysed barley samples had quite high urea concentration (8.76%) and crude protein (27.81%). Anamnesis, clinical signs and laboratory analysis indicated peracute urea poisoning in sheep.
