Öğe Akkaraman Kuzularda Defaunasyonun Uçucu Yağ Asitleri Üzerindeki Etkisi(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 1988 Ocak) Kocabatmaz, Mehmet; Aksoylar, Mehmet Yaşar; Durgun, Zafer; Eksen, MursayettinTwo groups of Akkaraman lambs (faunated and defaunated lambs) were used to investigate the effect of the presence or absence of rumen ciliate protozoa on pH, volatile fatty acids of rumen content and weight gain. The lambs were fed with milk until 1.5 months of age. Then, all animals were given chopped sainfoin hay and concentrate diet for the duration of the experiment. For the purpose of defaunation of the 2nd group lambs, 0.3-0.8 % solution of Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate was administrated via stomach tube. Rumen samples were taken from the rumen of lambs before feeding and at 3, 6 hr. after feeding and pH values and volatile fatty acids levels were measured. pH values were found to be highest before feeding, decreased at the 3rd hr. and became lowest at the 6th. after feeding for each animals. Acetic acid, propionic acid, iso-butiric acid and total volatile fatty acid levels in the rumen contents of the faunated lambs were higher than in the defaunated lambs. The faunated lambs grew faster that the defaunated lambs. The average of body weights of the faunated lambs was 4.6 kg more than the faunated lambs It was, therefore, concluted that the rumen ciliate protozoa are essential for the metabolism and growth of young lambs.Öğe Ankara Keçi?leri?ni?n Rumen ve Kan Metaboli?tleri? Üzeri?nde Fosforun Etki?si?(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 1992 Ocak) Kocabatmaz, Mehmet; Eksen, Mursayettin; Durgun, ZaferIn this investigation, three Angora Goats of 3 years old and with the permanent rumen cannula were used. The goats were fed with alfalfa hay (40%) and the pelleted white beet pulp (60%). The first animal was used as a control and 1 g and 2.4 g phosphorus were infused via rumen cannula into rumen of the second and third animals respectively. Rumen content and blood samples were taken before feeding and at the 3rd and 6th hour after feeding with 7 days intervals. The pH values of rumen contents were highest before feeding and generally lowest at 6th hour after feeding for all animals. At the each sampling time, the average values of protozoa counts and percentage of Isotricha intestinalis, Isotricha prostoma and Dasytricha ruminantium for second and third animals to which phosphorus (Ig and 2.4 g respectively) infused were highest than first animal but the percentage of Entodinium minimum and Entodinium caudatum showed decrements for second and third animals. On the other hand, the highest NH3 - N values of rumen contents were determined for the second animal at each sampwling time but same values were lowest for first animal. Before feeding, urea-N of blood was highest and showed gradually decrements after feeding for first animal. The same values were found to be lowest before feeding, and showed increments for second animal at other sampling times. All of the total protein values generally were equal for all animals. The glucose values of blood sera belongig to the third animal were found higher than the other animals only the lower values of glucose at the before feeding showed gradually incaremets after feeding for all animals. In addition before of the effect of phosphate infusion, inorganic phosphorus values of rumen contents and blood sera of the second and third animals were higher than the first animal at each sampling time.Öğe Ankara Keçi?leri?ni?n Rumeni?ndeki? Si?li?alı Protozoonların Geli?şmesi?nde Farklı Rasyonların Etki?si?(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 1988 Ocak) Kocabatmaz, Mehmet; Eksen, Mursayettin; Durgun, ZaferIn this investigation pH values, protozoa counts, protozoa volumes and protozoa species were determined in the rumen contents of Angora goats fed with different rations. For this purpose 4 animals with 2 years old and with permanent rumen cannula were used. Feeding the animals was performed according to 4 x 4 Latin Square desing. Each animal was fed with four different types of rations (I, II, III, IV); alfalfa straw (100 %), alfalfa straw + concentrate mixture (80: 20, 60 40, 40: 60) respectively. pH value of rumen content was found to be highest (7.22) before feeding, but dropped to 6.21 at the 6 th hour and incereased again (6.42) at the 10 th hour following the feeding. The protozoa counts and their volumes of rumen contents showed a paralelism to the declination in pH values. Total 10 protozooon species were identified, but "Entodinium minimum" was predominant at each sampling time. The differences between pH values and protozoa counts were generally found to be higly significant (p<0,01). The protozoon counts and their volumes were higher for the animals fed IV th ration than for the animals having the other rations.Öğe Ankara Keçi?si?ni?n Rumen Sıvısı ve Kanında Bazı Metaboli?tleri?n Değerleri?(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 1988 Ocak) Kocabatmaz, Mehmet; Eksen, Mursayettin; Durgun, ZaferThree Angora Goats of 2-2.5 years old, with permanent rumen cannula were used in this experiment. Animals were fed with three different types of rations with concentrate mixture and alfalfa straw; 20:80, 40: 60, 60:40 respectively. In the investigation; pH Inorganic P and NH3-N values in the rumen fluid and NH3N in the blood and Urea-N, total protein, glucose, Inorganic P levels in the blood sera vere determined before feeding, at the 4 and 8th hour after feeding for each animal. At the 4 th hour after feeding the pH values in the rumen fluid and NH3-N of the blood were both decreased. The NH3-N values of the blood at the 8th hour after feeding and NH3-N levels of the rumen fluid at the 4th hour after feeding were highest. Inorganic P values in the blood sera were gradually increased but Inorganic P levels in the rumen fluid were decreased at the sampling times. No notable changes were observed in each sampling, as far as Urea-N, total protein and glucose levels of the blood sera are concerned.Öğe Broyler Pi?li?çleri?nde Si?tri?k Asi?di?n Klortetrasi?kli?ni?n Si?ndi?ri?m Si?stemi?nden Emi?lmesi?ne Etki?si?(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 1987 Ocak) Acet, Ahmet; Eksen, Mursayettin; Durgun, ZaferPlasma and tissues concentrations were determined by fluorimetric method, after administering the chlortetracycline orally to the Broiler chickens.

Üzeri?ne Etki?si?(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 1989 Ocak) Eksen, Mursayettin; Acet, Ahmet; Durgun, Zafer; Keleştimur, HalukZeranol (resorcylic acid lactone, Ralgro) is one of the most widely-used growth agents in beef cattles and lambs in our country. Forty-five male lambs of Konya Merino were used in trial. The effects of Zeranol on haematological values and some blood metabolites were investigated. This study was made as three groups. There were fifteen male lambs in each group. Group I (Control), Group II and Group III were respectively, control (no implanted), 12 mg Zeranol implanted and twice 12 mg Zeranol implanted at forty days intervals. This trial was continued on ninety days. Blood samples were taken at fifteen days intervals. Implantation had no significant effect on haematological values of lambs. It was determined that the limits of variation of red blood cell (RBC) count of Group I, Group II and Group III were respectively; 785.-10.31 x10, 6.86-10.22 x10 and 8.15-10.80 x10/mm³. Group III had lower white blood cell (WBC) count than Group I and Group II up to sixtyth days, but after that they had higher than other groups. Implanted lambs had lower mean haemoglobin (Hb) concentration than control lambs. The sedimantation rate of stored blood (ESR) was generally found the similar pattern among groups. The ammonia nitrogen values from blood metabolites which had been analysed were higher in implanted than in control lambs but the serum urea nitrogen values were generally lower. The serum total protein values were approximetaly same in all groups.
