    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 1988) Mert, Nihat; Tanrıverdi, Meltem; Sönmez, Gürsel; Ertürk, Erdoğan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi.
    A sum of 25 young bulls (25 test end 8 controls) feeding on imbalanced ration (1,5 kg wheat Straw, 8 kg wheat bran perday) and 8 control animals from Uludağ University 's Veterinary Educational and Research Farm were comparitively studied. Test group animals were belonged to a public feeding unit (feed fot) located in a village nearby a large city where the university is trying to help and educate surrounding farmers. The imbalanced feeding was conducted in the villager's own barns, under usual conditions and lasted 4 months. Urolithiasis was detected macroscopically in 13 of 25 bulls. Urinary stones were multiple and varied in size, shape, color and weights. Blood urea, uric acid and total proteins together with the complete urine analysis were carried out and the differences between test and control animals were statistically significant (Total protein p < 0.001, urea and uric acid p < 0.05). Histopathological examination of kidneys of urolithiasis observed bulls demonstrated some urinary stones in the pelvis and subacute to chronic glomerulonephritis in their renal cortex.
