    CAPRINE ARTHRITIS ENCEPHALITIS VIRUS INFECTION IN KIDS WITH ARTHRITIS
    (INDIAN VETERINARY JOURNAL, 2008) Acar, A.; Yavru, S.; Kale, M.; Bulut, O.; Avci, O.; Pehlivanoglu, F.
    Infection by caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV) is a worldwide cause of slowly progressing inflammatory disease of joints, mammary gland, lung and less commonly brain of mature goats. Chronic, proliferative arthritis in mature goats is the predominant clinical disease manifestation of CAE (Cheevers et al, 1988). The present study records a clinical presentation of CAE, in kids I to 3 months of age, with arthritis.

    DETECTION OF SPINAL CORD TISSUES AS BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY SPECIFIED RISK MATERIAL IN BEEF CARCASSES DURING SPLITTING IN TURKISH ABATTOIRS
    (WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009) Kale, M.; Kursun, Oe.; Kale, A. S. Akcan; Pehlivanoglu, F.; Guener, A.; Baskaya, R.; Dogruer, Y.
    We used an enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay to detect central nervous system (CNS)-specific glial fibrillary acidic protein to show the presence of CNS material on the medial surface of each half (left and right) of washed carcasses after splitting with a band-type saw. The high level contamination (>= 0.4) was detected at the highest ratio on the brisket + plate area surface of carcasses (33.3%). The moderate level contamination (> 0.2) was detected at the highest ratio on the brisket + plate and loin areas surface of carcasses (11.1%). The low-level contamination (>= 0.1) was detected at the highest ratio on the flank and hip areas surface of carcasses (100.0%). The similar level contamination risk was found on both the right and left half of 72 beef carcasses. Although no contamination was detected on the band-type saw, the low-level contamination (>= 0.1) was detected on the floor where the splitting of the carcasses was performed. Even though the low-level contamination (>= 0.1) was detected on all areas of the carcasses, even after washing, the moderate and high level contamination were detected only on the chuck + rib, brisket + plate and loin areas. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS The process of splitting of beef carcasses in the abattoirs involves some critical stages when tissues included in the so-called specified risk material (SRM), particularly spinal cord, are released. This can obviously lead to potential dissemination of central nervous system material over the carcass and surrounding area, resulting in possible contamination with the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) infective agent. By this study, the first time in Turkey, contamination of BSE-SRM in beef carcasses during splitting in private abattoirs was investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. The test was preferred because this is sensitive, very fast and cost-saving on carcass and on surfaces (saw, floor), and detect the antigen called glial fibrillary acidic protein. This study, as a first report in Turkey, showed the contamination level of beef carcasses, instruments and tools and slaughterhouse environment with BSE-SRM.

    Effects of subclinical bovine leukemia virus infection on some production parameters in a dairy farm in southern Turkey
    (AOSIS OPEN JOURNALS, 2007) Kale, M.; Bulut, O.; Yapkic, O.; Gulay, M. S.; Pehlivanoglu, F.; Ata, A.; Yavru, S.
    Some production parameters of seropositive cows (age, first calving age, 305 day mature equivalent last milk yield production, lifetime mature equivalent milk yield production, lifetime total milk production, lifetime total milking period, lifetime monthly milk production, lifetime daily milk production, lifetime total days of milking, number of inseminations per pregnancy (for last pregnancy), number of calves and calving interval (for last pregnancy)) were analysed in the current study. The study population was clinically healthy Holstein cows from a commercial dairy herd in southern Turkey. Of 109 animals, 65 cows were seropositive by ELISA and the prevalence of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection was 59.6%. The prevalence of seropositive cows in 2nd (62.8%), 3rd (64.7%), 4th (61.5%), and 5th (66.6%) lactations was slightly higher than that of cows in 1st (52.6%) lactations. No statistical differences were observed between BLV seronegative and seropositive cows for production and reproduction parameters analysed in this study (P > 0.05).
