Çukurova yöresi dişi kıl keçilerinde bazı biyokimyasal parametre düzeylerinin belirlenmesi

This study aimed to determine the average value of some biochemical parameters of hair goats that are widely cultivated in Turkey.For this purpose, Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), urea (BUN), creatine (Cr), albumin (Alb), total protein (TP) and total bilirubin (T.Bil) measurements were made in peripheral blood which are collected from 133 healthy female hair goats. As a result of this study, some serum biochemistry parameters of female hair goats were determined for the first time and, the values obtained from the study were measured via IBM SPSS Statistics 22 program. It was revealed that there were differences between them and other goat breeds. It was also observed that some values may change due to altitude differences. The data obtained as the result of this study is important in terms of providing resources for the studies to be performed on hair goats. Besides, for the first time, it has been shown that altitude has an effect on some blood parameters in hair goats and it should be considered in future studies.Bu çalışmanın amacı; ülkemizde yaygın olarak yetiştiriciliği yapılan kıl keçilerine ait bazı biyokimyasal parametrelerin ortalama değerini ortaya koymaktı.

Yetişkin bir kedide primer hipotroidizm

A 10-year-old cross breed female cat was brought with the complaint of weight gain while only the same amount of food was given. As a result of the evaluation of clinical examination, anamnesis, laboratory results and thyroid panel parameters, a rare hypothyroid disease in cats was determined. Levotroxine was used in the treatment and after 1.5 months, the parameters were within normal ranges at the control. As a result, the opinion that primary hypothyroidism in cats has gained more importance in veterinary endocrinology in recent years compared to previous years.Bu olgunun materyalini aynı miktarda günlük mama verilmesine rağmen kilo artışı meydana gelen 10 yaşındaki melez ırkı dişi kedi oluşturdu. Klinik muayene, anamnez, laboratuar sonuçları ve troid paneli parametrelerinin sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi sonucunda kedilerde nadir görülen hipotroid hastalığı belirlendi. Tedavisinde levotroksin kullanıldı ve 1,5 ay sonra kontrol değerlerinde parametreler normal aralıklar arasında elde edildi. Sonuç olarak son yıllarda önceki yıllara göre kedilerde hipotroid olabileceği görüşü veteriner endokrinolojisinde daha çok önem kazanmıştır

The importance of dietary magnesium sulphate for prophylaxis of parturient paresis in cow with high milk production

The aim ol this study is to search for changing of acid- base balance, Ca++, Mg++ and P+ levels, when MgS04 is added to the ration for last penod of pregnancy in cows. Thus, understanding of importance of this material for prophylaxis in parturient paresis. As a material, 18 cows which will have given a birth within 20 and 30 days, have been used. The animals are divided 3 groups (each group include 6 animals). First group, the cows has been used as a control, 11, group animals which will have given a birth within 20 days, has been used. These animals were led with 126 gr MgS04 which was added in the ration. III. Group animals which will have given a birth within 1 month . These animals are fed with 126 gr MgSO4 which was added in the ration. Compare with same samples times have been evaluated of each groups, there is significantly decrease lor HC03- (prd, 4rd, 5th, 6th and after to given a birth, There is significantly increase for plasma ICa++ level (prd, 4rd, 5th and 6th sampled period. Total serum Ca++ levels (pth, 6th and after to given a birth sampled period, comparasion study show that there-is differences between group I and III collection of 4rd, 5th,6th and after to given a birth sampled period lime. In case of this result, there is significatly decrease for P+ (pth and 6th sampled during the study. But also there is significatly decrease for K+ (p++ and ICa++ levels statisticaly significantly. This result is indicate that parturient paresis could be prevented by adding magnesium sulphate in the ration within the last period of cow pregnancy period

Blood acid-base status, some blood gases and electrolytes levels in premature calves

In this study, acid-base status, the levels of both some blood gases and electrolytes of venous blood were determined in premature and healthy calves. Twenty premature calves and 10 newborn healthy calves were used as a material. The premature calves have 259 to 265 gestation days and 29 to 43 kg body weight, general weakness, soft claw, inability to stand, weak or no sucking reflex, respiratory distress and short silky haircoat. Five out of twenty premature calves died. Venous blood pH, pCO2, pO2, O2SAT ve BE levels were significantly different in the premature calves (p<0.01) compare to the newborn calves

Klinik muayene, laboratuvar analizleri ve yapılan distemper hızlı kiti ile “old dog ensefalit” tespit edilmiştir. Klinik muayenede vücut ısısı, solunum sayısı ve kalp ritminde artış belirlenmiştir. Tedavi olarak intravenöz 0.9% NaCl ve 5% dekstroz solüsyonları, vitamin ve aminoasitler, seftriakson, N-asetil sistein, miyoklonusu kontrol altına almak için pregabalin uygulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak köpeklerin distemper virüsünün 6 yaşından büyük erişkin köpekleri “old dog ensefalit” olarak etkileyebileceği ve bu durumun insanlarda kızamık dahil demiyelinizasyon hastalıklarının daha ileri çalışmaları için değerli bir model olabileceği kanısına varılmıştır

Sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in a calf

Sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a type of ventricular dysrhythmias which originated from more than one focus in ventricle and may lead to fatal arrhythmias like as ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. A seven days old female Holstein calve was referred to the Large Animals Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Selcuk University with a history of sudden collapse. Electrocardiography examination showed sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Cardiac damage suspicion confirmed by elevation in serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) concentrations as cardiac damage enzymes

Changes in novel gastrointestinal and renal injury markers in the blood plasma of sheep following increasing intravenous doses of tolfenamic acid

The administration of high doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as tolfenamic acid (TA), has undesirable effects on different organs. Some novel biomarkers have been reported that can determine the gastrointestinal and renal injury caused by a high dose of NSAIDs or other toxic substances. This study was aimed at determining the changes in gastrointestinal (TFF2 and HYP), renal (NGAL and KIM-1) and cardiac (cTn-I, CK-MB) injury markers after the use of increasing intravenous doses of TA in sheep. TA was administered intravenously to groups of six sheep each, at the dose levels of 0 (Group 0, i.e., G0), 2 (G2), 4 (G4), 8 (G8) and 16 (G16) mg/kg. The concentrations of the studied biomarkers were measured at 3, 9, 18 and 36 h after administration of TA. The TFF2 and NGAL concentrations in G16 were found to be significantly higher (P < 0.05) than in the other groups except for G8 at different sampling times. HYP concentration in G16 was observed to be significantly (P < 0.05) lower than that in all other groups at 36 h. KIM-1 level in G16 was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than in all other groups at different sampling times. An increase in the renal markers, KIM-1 and NGAL, in G8 was observed before any change in plasma creatinine and urea. The cardiac marker cTn-I in G16 was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than in other groups at different sampling times. The results showed that the novel biomarkers (HYP, TFF2, NGAL, and KIM-1) can be used to determine gastric and renal injury in sheep

Evaluation of clinical efficacy of tilmicosin in the treatment of respiratory system infections of calves

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tilmicosin in the treatment of respiratory system infections of calves. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 30 calves with respiratory system infections. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples were taken from the calves. Microbiological examinations of BAL fluid samples were performed and antibiotic susceptibilities of the agents were determined. A single dose of tilmicosin (10 mg/kg SC) was administered to each calves. Results: While bacterial growth was not observed in 11 of 30 BAL samples, bacterial growth of 19 was detected. Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) was isolated in 14 of the sample. Remaining bacteria were 3 Trueperella pyogenes (T. pyogenes) and 2 Escherichia coli (E. coli). Amoxicillin, sefquinom, marbofloxacin, gamithromycin and tilmicosin were found to be effective antibiotics. Conclusion: As a result, the dominant bacterium in respiratory system infections is Pasteurella multocida and also tilmicosin was effective in the treatment of respiratory diseases of calves

Gastric intestinal metaplasia in a dog

Aim: The material of the case was a 12-year-old male Maltese Terrier dog who came to the veterinary faculty animal hospital with complaints of loss of appetite, stagnation, weight loss, intermittent diarrhea and vomiting that did not respond to treatment for 6 months. Intestinal metaplasia was diagnosed as a result of clinical examination, laboratory analysis, ultrasound examination, endoscopic examination, radiological examination, experimental laparotomy and histopathological examination. As a medical treatment for the dog; chronic gastritis treatment was applied. For this purpose, intravenous 0.9% NaCl and 5% dextrose solutions, vitamins and amino acids, maropitant, ranitidine, sucralfate, and Ceftriaxone were used for 2 weeks. It was observed that there was no response to the medical treatment applied for 2 weeks and was referred to the operation. A 1-1.5 cm biopsy material was taken from the pyloric antrum. Intestinal metaplasia was diagnosed as a result of histopathological examination of the biopsy specimen taken. After the operative intervention, oral food intake was prevented and parenteral feeding was given for 10 days. It was observed that the same symptoms continued to decrease on the 30th day of the post-operative period. Gastric intestinal metaplasia was found to be effective in chronic vomiting of dogs that did not respond to treatment. Although endoscopic examination made a significant contribution to the diagnosis of the disease, it was concluded that histopathological examination was more reliable in the type and etiology of the lesion
