Analysis of genetic structure of some native turkish goat breeds by 20 microsatellite markers

Genetic diversity, genetic relationship and bottleneck were evaluated in Angora, Kilis, Honamli, Hair and Norduz goat breeds using 20 microsatellite markers. Analyses revealed that the average number of alleles per locus (15.65 allele/locus) and levels of heterozygosity (0.5192–0.9400) were fairly high. The calculated overall FIS value for all populations was 0.03656 ± 0.033 and it was not significant. All the populations were in the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. Gene exchange among populations was consistently high, its rate being Nm = 8.07 migrants per generation. According to FST values, a medium level of genetic diversity was found between the Angora goat breed and other breeds. Among the other breeds, genetic diversity was low and this diversity was statistically significant. Results of various analyses, such as allelic variation analysis, heterozygosity analysis, F statistics, STRUCTURE test and factorial correspondence analysis, indicated that the Angora goat breed is different than the other goat breeds. Furthermore, analysis showed that the other native goat breeds could not be distinguished from each other; these breeds were grouped together. The results obtained from the analysis of 20 microsatellite loci indicated that goat breeds other than the Angora goat breed cannot be genetically distinguished from each other

Some effects of nationwide small ruminant breeding project under the breeder conditions on goat flocks and their owner

The nationwide small ruminant breeding project under the breeder condition has been started in the year of 2005. The project planned to solve some of the problems related with small ruminant breeding system. Especially, to find the solution for inadequate productivity, lack of organisation, insufficient collaborations, low education, and unreliable registration system were the main parts of the mentioned project. Project planned with sub-projects according to districts and breeds. At the beginning, project started with sheep flocks, and then goats were included. Local sheep and goats associations were involved the project. Project personals were chosen and educated according to project rules. Also, meetings were organised with the selected breeders and the breeders were informed about the projects and their duties. In our region we were examined the goat flocks from the year of 2011 to at the end of 2016. During the period of the project some increases on the live weights of the animals have been detected. Also, breeders directly or indirectly had education about their job. At the end of the scheme, some of the positive effects of the project have been observed on the lives of breeders, goats, collaborations and market situations.The nationwide small ruminant breeding project under the breeder condition has been started in the year of 2005.

The current status of goat livestock enterprises in Burdur province of Turkey

This research was carried out to determine the present situation of small ruminant enterprises in villages and town of the central district of Burdur province known as “Teke Region” of Turkey. Research data obtained from farmer by face to face questionnaires. Data were collected from 48 goats enterprises at 22 villages and town. The average number of goat per enterprise was found 117.9 head. Goat breeds reared in enterprises; Hair Goat, Honamlı Goat, Honamlı X Hair Goat crossbreed and Turk Saanen. It was determined that goat breeders graduated from primary school respectively 77.2%. Membership status of enterprises in Burdur Sheep and Goat Breeders Association was examined, goat enterprises was found as member 59.3 %. Examined goat enterprises 34 of 48 (70.4 %) was semi-open type barn. The base structure of barn was made from soil in general and anything was not used as litter. Intensively, roof of goat barn was observed on tile, nylon and canvas. The frequency of cleaning of barn was found 45.8 % in goat enterprises. It was determined that feed were given except for pasture only winter seasons for 2-3 months. Duration of suckling period of kids in goat enterprises were between 4 to 7 months. The scope of the research average milk yield was found in goat enterprises in 22 villages; 0.5±0.09 goat/day/lt. It’s determined that goat breeders, generally didn’t keep enterprising records to follow the status of animals. In this research was first study to demonstrate the current status of goat enterprises in villages and town of the central district of Burdur province known as “Teke Region”. These results will form important database for future research about development of goat farming in Burdur province

INVESTIGATION OF G+265C AND G-1539A SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS OF TOLL-LIKE RECEPTOR 4 GENE (TLR4) IN SOME CATTLE BREEDS RAISED IN TURKEY

Toll-like receptors play an essential role in how the innate immune system reacts to pathogens. These receptors helpthe innate immune system recognise the antigenic structure of pathogens and initiate the inflammatory response. TLR4 is one ofthese receptors, and it has been identified as a candidate molecular marker for resistance to mastitis in cattle. This study aimedto describe G-1539A (BgII) in promoter and G+265C (MspI) in 5’-UTR polymorphisms in the TLR4 gene using Zavot (n=60), EastAnatolian Red (EAR, n=49), Anatolian Black (AB, n=59), South Anatolian Red (SAR, n=42), Turkish Gray (TG, n=60) and Holstein(n=218) cattle breeds. For this purpose, we used polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) to genotype a total of 488 cattle. Two alleles (A and G) and three genotypes (GG, GA and AA) were examined bydigestion of the PCR product with BgII restriction enzyme. The frequency of the G allele was higher in all investigated breedsexcept Zavot. The GA genotype was found to be the most common genotype in the EAR, SAR, TG, AB, Holstein, and Zavotbreeds. Two alleles (C and G) and three genotypes (GG, GC and CC) were examined by digestion of the PCR product for theG+265C SNP with the MspI restriction enzyme. The most prevalent in terms of frequency was the C allele in all breeds with regardto G+265C SNP. All examined breeds were within the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p&gt;0.05). Consequently, the existence of twoSNPs of the TLR4 gene has been reported for the first time in six cattle breeds raised in Turkey. The study demonstrated that theinvestigated breeds continue to exhibit variation in terms of these two SNPs. It might be possible to utilise these polymorphismsin efforts to breed herds resistant to significant breeding diseases, such as mastitis.</p
