Öğe Amonyak ile Muamele Edi?len Buğday Samanının Si?ndi?ri?lme Derecesi?ni?n Tespi?ti? ve Sığır Besi?si?nde Kullanılma İmkanları(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 1992 Ocak) Coşkun, Behiç; Deniz, Suphi; Ayar, Ali; Kadak, Ramazan; Deligözoğlu, FazılThis experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of treatment of wheat straw with aqueous ammonia on its digestibility and feed intake and weight gain of beef cattle fed two level of concentrate mixture. About five tones wheat straw stack treated with 40 g aqueous ammonia contains 25 % NH3 per kg straw for 30 days after covering the stack with plastic sheet. The digestibilities of untreated and treated straw was determined with four Merino rams. The digestibilities of dry matter, crude protein, crude fibre, organic matter were 47.74, 58.80, 58.83 and 49.22 % for untreated straw and 49.59, 73.42, 63.35, 52.92 % for treated straw, respectively. In the feeding experiment, 28 bulls were allocated to four groups each of 7 bulls. Two level of concentrate mixture and two straw (treated and untreated) were given with a 2x2 factorial arrangement. The ammonia treatment decreased straw intake. No differences in the live weights gain were found among the groups.Öğe Atlarda kurutulmuş şeker pancarı posası kullanılmasının rasyonun sindirilme dereceleri üzerine etkisi(2007) Gürbüz, Emel; Coşkun, BehiçBu araştırma, at rasyonlarında yulaf yerine soya küspesi ve yağ ilave edilerek protein ve enerji yönünden desteklenmiş kurutulmuş melaslı şeker pancarı posası (KMŞPP) kullanılmasının rasyonun sindirilme dereceleri üzerine etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma 4x4 latin kare metoduna göre yürütülmüştür. Denemenin her bir dönemi 21 günü adaptasyon ve 6 günü sindirim denemesi olmak üzere 27 gün, toplam 108 gün sürdürülmüştür. Denemede, enerji ve protein yönünden dengelenmiş olan 4 farklı konsantre yem; kontrol grubu, % 12.5 KMŞPP, % 25 KMŞPP ve % 37.5 KMŞPP ilave edilmiş grup olmak üzere atlara canlı ağırlığın % 1.2'si kadar verildi. Kurutulmuş melaslı şeker pancarı posasının rasyona ilave edilmesi atların canlı ağırlığını ve su tüketimlerini etkilememiştir. Dört farklı rasyonu tüketen atlarda, klasik ve indikatör metoduyla yapılan sindirim denemesinde rasyonlara göre besin maddelerinin sindirilme dereceleri arasında farklılık önemli bulunmamıştır (P0.05).Öğe Bi?r Yosun Ekstraktinin (Maxicrop) Yumurtacı Tavuklarda Veri?m Üzeri?ne Etki?leri?(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 1993) Coşkun, Behiç; İnal, Fatma; Şeker, Erdoğan; Gülşen, Nurettin; Arık, H. DeryaIn this study, the effects of seaweed soluble powder (maxicrop), used as growth promoter in plants on egg production, feed intake, feed efficiency and egg yolk color in hens were investigated Total 108 hens aged 44 weeks were used and three groups were designed During 12 weeks, the animals fed control feed, the feed containing 0.1 % and 1 % seaweed powder. Later, all groups fed control ration during 5 weeks. In first period, average egg production in groups were 68.23, 74.45 and 62 05 %, respectively (p<0.05) Feed intake for 1 kg eggs was lower in the group fed % 0.1 seaweed powder. It was found, the seaweed powder affected positively to yolk color, but didn't to feed intake. As a result, to increase egg yield, seaweed powder may use in poultry diets but it is needed additional researches about this area.Öğe Broyler Rasyonlarına Deği?şi?k Mi?ktarlarda Katılan Bi?oti?ni?n Besi? Performansı ve Karaci?ger Yağlanmasına Etki?si?(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 1988 Ocak) Tuncer, Şakir Doğan; Aştı, Reşat; Coşkun, Behiç; Şeker, Erdoğan; Demirci, ÜlkerThis study was carried out to investigate the effect of different amounts of biotin (0, 50, 100 and 150 ug/kg) added to the broilers' ration on growth performance and fatty liver syndrome. In this study, 1000 day-old Hybro chicks were used. They were distributed into 4 groups, each group containing 250 chicks and the experiment was ended at the 49th day. Mean final weight values in the groups were 1841.13; 1871.78; 1822.88 and 1848.39 g respectively. There were no significant differences among the live weights of the groups (P > 0.05). But the highest final weight was found in the group fed 50 µg/kg biotin. Total feed consumption for all groups were 4.295; 4.326; 4.378 and 4.294 kg respectively. There was no large variation among the groups related to feed consumption. Feed convertion were found to be 2.340; 2.312; 2.405 and 2.324 kg, respectively, during the experiment. According to these results, experimental group I (50 µg/kg biotin) consumed less feed for 1 kg weight gain than the others. At the end of the experiment, in macroscopic investigation, livers of the groups given 0 and 50 ug/kg biotin were seen pale in colour and fatty. In microscopic investigation of the livers in the same groups, severe lipid infiltrations were seen in the cytoplasma of paranchymal cells. The livers of second (100 ug/kg biotin) and third (150 ug/kg biotin) groups were macroscopically normal. Any lipid infiltration in the paranchymal cells were not observed. 50 pg/kg biotin improves the growth performance but the same level was not effective in preventing fatty liver syndrome. As a result, the use of the amount of 100 µg/kg biotin would be recommended in preventing the formation of fatty liver syndrome in broiler feeding.Öğe Broyler Rasyonlarında Kullanılan I?ç Yağ ve Bi?tki?sel Yağın Farklı Kombi?nasyonlarının Performans Üzeri?ne Etki?leri?(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 2000) Balevi, Tahir; Coşkun, Behiç; Kurtoğlu, Varol; Umucalılar, DeryaThis study was carried out to investigate the effects of sunflower oil and tallow or their different com- binations on the growth performance and mortalite in broiler rations. A total of 560 chicks were divided into four groups each containing 140 animals. The ratios of the groups were added 4.5% sunflower oil, 0.45 % sunflower oil + 4.05% tallow. 0.9 % sunflower oil + 3.6 % tallow and 4.5[3] tallow. The trial was lasted in 42 days. At the end of the experiment, body weights were 1718.52 1828,50, 1771 15 and 1816.38 g (P < 0.05) Feed consumption of the groups were 69.93, 74.74. 73.43 and 76.01 g: feed conversion 1 75, 1.75, 1.78 and 1.80 kg, respectively. Mortalite were detected to be as 2. 14, 142. 2 14 and 2.85 %, respectively. In conclusion, the tallow can be replaced with sunflower oil in broiler ratios. To add sunflower oil to tallow in 10% quantity could effect performance in a positive manner while no negative effect on mortality by adding 10% sunflower oil was observed.Öğe Broyler Rasyonlarında Yağ Sanayi Yan Ürünleri?ni?n Kullanımı(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 1995 Nisan) Balevi, Tahir; Coşkun, Behiç; Aktümsek, AbdurrahmanTotaly, 184 broiler chicks were used in this investigation in which the availability of by-products of oil industry in broiler rations was investigated. The growth performance, weight of carcass and abdominal fat and amounts of fatty acids in abdominal fat of broilers fed diets consisting 5 % sunflower crude oil, sunflower soapstock, acidulated sunflower soapstock and volatile matters were determined. The trial was lasted in 49 days. The highest feed consumption and feed efficiency values were determined in broiler group fed acidulated soapstock. The lowest feed consumption and the highest average live weight values were found in the group fed the diet containing sunflower crude oil. It was concluded that the use of by-products of oil industry in broiler diets as energy source will use without any harmful effect on broiler performance and contain more omega-3 fatty acids which is very important for human health.Öğe Broylerlerde Yağlı Karaci?ğer Sendromu Üzeri?nde Hi?stoloji?k ve Bi?yoki?myasal Çalışmalar(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 1987 Ocak) Aştı, Reşat; Tuncer, Şakir Doğan; Coşkun, Behiç; Başpınar, Nuri; Çelik, İlhami; Kalaycıoğlu, LeylaThis study was carried out to investigate the correlation between the fatty liver syndrome and some blood values in broilers fed with rations containing corn, sunflower oil and animal fat. Totally 150 day-old Arbro - 7 female chicks were used in the experiment. There were three groups each containing 50 chicks. The experiment lasted in 56 days. At the end of the experiment, a severe case of fatty livers was observed in the group fed with corn based ration. The highest SGOT (P<0.05) and FFA values were found in this group. In the other two groups fed differently with ration containing sunflower oil and the animal fat, the lesser amount of lipid infiltrations were observed. The total serum cholesterol levels in the group fed with animal fat were higher than the other groups (P<0.01). As a result, it can be deduced that the determination of SGOT values as well as the histological investigation would be helpfull in the diagnosis of subclinical fatty liver syndrome.Öğe Comparison of alfalfa (medicago sativa) energy values estimated by using the nrc-2001, hohenheim and uc davis equations(KAFKAS UNIV, VETERINER FAKULTESI DERGISI, 2016) Alataş, Mustafa Selçuk; Kara, Kanber; İnal, Fatma; Kahraman, Oğuzhan; Özbilgin, Abdullah; Coşkun, BehiçIn this study, our aim was to compare estimated metabolizable energy (ME) and net energy lactation (NEL) contents in dried alfalfa samples in their different growth stages, using models such as NRC-2001, Hohenheim(Menke) and University of California at Davis (UC Davis). A total of 73 alfalfa hay samples obtained during three different growth stages (Vegetative, Bud and Bloom) were used. Chemical analyses were performed for each sample. Energy values of the alfalfa hay samples were calculated with NRC-2001 equations from chemical analysis results, and with HohenheimMenke and UC Davis equations from in vitro gas production volumes. Gas production in alfalfa samples in vegetative period (S1) was higher than other periods (P<0.001). Again, ME values calculated with all three methods in the alfalfa hay samples of this period were significantly higher than the samples in bud and bloom periods (P<0.001). In addition, energy values obtained with HohenheimMenke equation in all periods were found to be higher than the averages obtained with NRC-2001 and UC Davis equations. It is concluded that, for the alfalfas in vegetative period, a correlation of 85.6% between energy values obtained with NRC-2001 and HohenheimMenke equations, a correlation of 81.8% between energy values obtained with UC Davis and NRC-2001 equations, and over 99% correlation between energy values obtained with HohenheimMenke and UC Davis equations were determined (P<0.000).Öğe A comparison of different analysis methods for milk urea nitrogen(KAFKAS UNIV, VETERINER FAKULTESI DERGISI, 2015) İnal, Fatma; Gürbüz, Emel; Coşkun, Behiç; Alataş, Mustafa SelçukThe objective of this study was to develop a reliable and cheap method to determine of milk urea nitrogen and compare some other instrumental methods. Two trials were conducted. In first trial, a milk urea nitrogen testing method was designed by modifying some methods developed for ammonia nitrogen testing method. Several studies were performed for the validation of method. By using standard solutions some applications such as determinability, recovery, repeatability, test of various analyzers and devices, limit of quantification were performed. Recovery of added urea averaged 99.38 %. In second trial, 105 individual milk samples from a dairy farm was analyzed for milk urea nitrogen by modified indophenol, infrared, and MiniFoodLab methods. The means of milk urea nitrogen obtained from three different methods were 23.87, 21.59, and 23.92 mg/dl, respectively. There was a positive correlation between modified indophenol and infrared methods.Öğe Conservation characteristics and protein fractions of cereal silages ensiled with additives at the booting and dough stages of maturity(SCIENTIFIC TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY-TUBITAK, 2014) Keleş, Gürhan; Coşkun, Behiç; İnal, Fatma; Alataş, Mustafa Selçuk; Ateş, SerkanThe experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of organic acid and bacterial inoculant on conservation characteristics and protein fractions as defined by the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System of barley, wheat, rye, triticale, and oat silages ensiled at their booting or dough stage of maturity. The cereal crops were not treated or were treated with bacteria (L. buchneri, L. plantarum, E. faecium) or organic acid (formic acid, propionic acid, sodium formate) and ensiled in 1.0-L anaerobic jars for 45 days. Bacterial inoculant improved the fermentation profile for all cereal silages and increased the dry matter (DM) recovery at both maturity stages. The benefit of bacteria inclusion in the silage was more pronounced when applied at dough stages. Organic acid also improved the fermentation profile for all cereal silages, but it was less effective than the bacteria at both booting and dough stages of maturity. The reduction (P < 0.001) in in vitro DM digestibility was not as sharp as the decrease in crude protein (CP). Protein A fraction and digestible CP were higher (P < 0.001) at the booting stage, while all B fractions and C fraction were higher (P < 0.001) in cereal silages ensiled at the dough stage. It was concluded that additives, in particular bacterial inoculant, can improve fermentation and protein quality at both stages examined.Öğe Determination of protein degradability of alfalfa hay via buffer or protease(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2018) İnal, Fatma; Tamkoç, Ahmet; Alataş, Mustafa Selçuk; Kahraman, Oğuzhan; Özbilgin, Abdullah; Coşkun, BehiçThis study was conducted to determine the effect of different vegetative periods on protein fractions of alfalfa hay and to compare two different methods for estimation of its protein degradability. In this study, 44 alfalfa hay samples cut in late vegetative, late bud, early bloom and late bloom were used. Crude protein decreased with advancing maturity (p<.05), but neutral detergent insoluble nitrogen and acid detergent insoluble nitrogen were similar. Protein degradability of the samples was estimated using Streptomyces griseus protease or borate-phosphate buffer, kinetic model, as described in Cornell Net Carbohydrate Protein System (CNCPS). Alfalfa hay samples were subjected to proteolysis for 30h with 0.115 U/mL or 0.230 U/mL of the protease at pH 6.8. There was a moderate correlation (0.66, 0.72) between enzymatic and buffer method estimates with protein degradation. As vegetation progresses, rapidly degradable fraction (A) decreased (p < .05) and undegradable fraction (C) increased (p < .05), while potentially degradable fraction (B) was unchanged. Rumen degradable protein content decreased (p < .05) with advancing maturity. The enzyme/duration limits should be standardised and investigated whether the protease enzyme alone is sufficient for all forages.Öğe The Determination of Situation and Breed Characteristics of Turkish Rahvan Horse in Turkey(MEDWELL ONLINE, 2010) Çaglayan, Tamer; İnal, Şeref; Garip, Mustafa; Coşkun, Behiç; İnal, Fatma; Günlü, Aytekin; Güleç, ErtuğrulThis study was conducted to determine body characteristics and speeds of Rahvan horses racing at Pace Horse Races in Turkey. A total of 1258 Rahvan horses racing at 20 pace races between 1 999 and 2000 years in Turkey were inspected. The speeds of 125 winner horses and body measurements of 120 Rahvan horses were determined. The speeds of winner horses racing at different native categories were calculated as 21.66-34.20 km h(-1) for Tozkoparan, 25.11-37.04 km h(-1) for Deste, 28.97-39.07 km h(-1) for Kucuk orta, 30.20-36.63 km h(-1) for Buyuk orta, 27.05-43.06 km h(-1) for Bas alti, 32.26-40.52 km h(-1) for Has, respectively. The averages of head length, neck length, height at withers, body length, height at rump, heart girth circumference, chest depth, chest width and cannon bone circumference as body measurements were found as 56.49, 69.80, 139.21, 141.60, 138.28, 155.30, 58.38, 34.24 and 17.69 cm, respectively. There is no significantly difference for inspected body measurements among age or sex groups, except for cannon bone circumference. The averages of cannon bone circumference of 3 years old horses and mares were found as lower than the others (p<0.05). And the ratio of height at rump to height at withers in mares was higher than stallions (p<0.05). The Pacing speed of Turkish Rahvan Horses was found as lower than the other breeds that can pace in. the World. It was concluded that Turkish Rahvan Horses should be improved with respect to increase height at withers and to lengthen and to thin neck.Öğe The effect of different energy sources on growth performance, abdominal fat deposition and fatty liv~r syndrome in broilers.

Deneme'de 4'ü inokulantsız olmak üzere toplam 8 silaj grubu 2x4 faktöriyel deneme düzenine göre oluşturulmuştur. Laboratuvar silosu olarak, yaklaşık 4 kg taze silaj materyali alabilen pet kavanozlardan yararlanılmıştır. Yem katkısı olarak %5 melas, %5 arpa, %1.5 tuz katılmış, inokulantlı gruplarda ise bu katkılara ilaveten her bir silaja Lactobacillus plantarum ve Streptococcus faecium 'dan oluşan bakteri kültürü (Pioneer 1174) ilave edilmiştir. Silolar aynı ortamda 240 gün kapalı tutulduktan sonra açılmıştır. Katkı maddeleri incelenen tüm parametreler üzerinde etkili olmuştur. Buna karşılık inokulant ilavesi KM, HS, NDF, pH, KM kaybı değerleri üzerine etkili olurken HP, ADF ve HK değerlerinde etkisi görülmemiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre inokulantların, yem maddelerinin tekniğine uygun olarak silolanması halinde silaj kalitesini artırıcı etkiler sağlayabileceği kanaatine varılmıştır.Öğe The effects of additional glycerol in different feed form on dairy cows(KAFKAS UNIV, VETERINER FAKULTESI DERGISI, 2012) Coşkun, Behiç; İnal, Fatma; Gürbüz, Emel; Polat, Esad Sami; Alataş, Mustafa SelçukThis research was conducted to determine the impact of diet supplementation with glycerol in form of mash or pelleted feed on milk yield, milk composition, live weight and changes in body condition scoring and the effect of on blood plasma glucose, nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) concentrations of dairy cows. In middle lactation stage, Holstein dairy cows (n = 94) were divided into three main groups: (1) control (n = 40); (2) mash concentrated feed+ glycerol group (n = 27); and (3) pelleted concentrated feed + glycerol (n = 27). Glycerol is added into concentrated feed at the rate of 5%. The study was lasted 69 d. There was not a significant difference among groups in terms of milk yield, body weight and plasma glucose, NEFA and BHBA concentrations. In the last day of study, milk solid non fat (SNF) were higher and milk urea-N content were lower in pelleted feed+ glycerol group (P < 0.05).Öğe The effects of additional glycerol in different feed form on dairy cows(Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi, 2012) Coşkun, Behiç; İnal, Fatma; Gürbüz, Emel; Polat, Esat Sami; Alataş, Mustafa SelçukThis research was conducted to determine the impact of diet supplementation with glycerol in form of mash or pelleted feed on milk yield, milk composition, live weight and changes in body condition scoring and the effect of on blood plasma glucose, nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and ?-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) concentrations of dairy cows.

Babcock Brown laying hens at 32 weeks of age were fed diets containing 0 (control), 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5% bentonite for 3 months. Egg yield was not affected by bentonite. Damaged egg rates (broken plus abnormal size) decreased by feeding 1.5 and 2.5% bentonite, whereas 3.5% did not have any effect. Egg weight 61.42, 61.15, 61.21 and 60.41 g of experimental groups respectively. Both egg weight and egg specific gravity were not influenced by bentonite. Feed efficiency (kg feed/kg egg) was 2.47, 2.45, 2.43 and 2.59 in the groups fed 0, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5% bentonite respectively.Öğe Effects of Boron Supplementation on Performance and Some Serum Biochemical Parameters in Laying Hens(Ecole Nationale Veterinaire Toulouse, 2002) Kurtoğlu, Vural; Kurtoğlu, Firuze; Coşkun, Behiç; Şeker, Esra; Balevi, Tahir; Çetinoğlu, I. S.In this study, the effects of dietary boron (0,50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 parts per million; ppm) on performance such as feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, egg production, body weight, egg weight, specific gravity, damaged egg ratio, and some biochemical characters (Ca, P and Mg) in 40 week old laying hens for 120 days were investigated. Boron provided significant improvements on serum Ca levels and damaged egg ratio. There was no significant difference between the controls and the boron supplemented groups in the feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, egg production, body weight, egg weight and specific gravity.Öğe Effects of E and C Vitamins on the Growth and Immunity of the Angora Goat Kids Exposed to Stress(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey, 2000) İmik, Halit; Aytaç, Melik; Coşkun, Behiç; Fidancı, HaticeThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of administration of vitamin E and C on the live weight gain, antibody levels against Brucella melitensis (Rev. I) vaccine and liveability of Angora goat kids separated from their mothers at the age of 21 days, and then exposed to stress. Forty kids were used in this study. They were divided into four groups having ten kids per group. This study was conducted with the control group (+) in which the kids were not separated from their mothers until the weaning period, a group(-) which was exposed to stress and being with their mothers only 15 minutes a day from average 21 days age to weaning, and a groups of vitamin E and vitamin C. Live weights in the groups were 14.9, 11.0, 11.3 and 12.3 kg respectively, at the end of this study. As regards to live weights, there were statistically significant differences among the control (+), control (-) and vitamin E groups (p<0.05); where as there were no statistically significant differences between these groups and vitamin C. Daily live weight gains of the groups were found to be 80.7, 39.3, 49.8 and 53.6 grams respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the control (+) group and the others (p<0.05). The control group (+) vaccinated with Rev 1 had statistically significant positive antibody levels (<+/40) compared with the other groups (p<0.05). Because of the effect of increasing stress factors, the kids were infected with coccidioses after weaning. In the groups, 0, 6, 4 and 2 animals died because of the coccidioses respectively. There were no statistically significant differences among the groups in terms of mohair quality.Öğe The effects of live yeast culture (saccharomyces cerevisiae) on rumen fermentation and nutrient degradability in yearling lambs(KAFKAS UNIV, VETERINER FAKULTESI DERGISI, 2010) İnal, Fatma; Gürbüz, Emel; Coşkun, Behiç; Alataş, Mustafa Selçuk; Çitil, Özcan Barış; Polat, Esad Sami; Şeker, ErdoğanThis study was carried out in two experiments. Experiment 1 was conducted with six ruminally-cannulated one-year old Kangal Akkaraman male lambs, using a crossover design with 2 periods to determine the effects of live yeast culture supplementation on rumen fermentation. Yearlings were either supplemented with 4 g/d of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (BeneSacc, 4x10(9) CFU/g) or not supplemented (control). Animals were penned individually, and were fed a diet composed of 25% forage and 75% concentrate for sixteen days. Rumen fluid was sampled on day 16, 0 h (before feeding), 3 h and 6 h after feeding. Rumen pH, the numbers of protozoa, ammonia-N and volatile fatty acids (VFA) were determined in samples. Molar proportions of acetate were decreased, and propionate was increased with supplementation of live yeast culture. No differences were observed for ruminal pH, protozoa population, total VFA and ammonia-N concentrations, between treatments. In Experiment 2, in situ nutrient degradability of barley grain, corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and wheat straw were determined. Live yeast culture supplementation did not affect dry matter (DM) degradability of barley, DDGS or straw, crude protein (CP) degradability of DDGS, nor neutral detergent fiber (NDF) degradability of straw. But, it reduced the potential degradability of DDGS in rumen..
