Determination of Nutrient Content and Digestibility Characteristics of Prangos Ferulacea (L.) on Grazing Lands of Eastern Anatolia
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2015) Aldemir, Resit; Bingol, Nuriye Tugba; Karsli, Mehmet Akif; Akca, Ismail
The aim of this study was to compare nutrient content, and in situ protein and organic matter degradation kinetics of Prangos ferulacea (L.) (locally called helis), a naturally growing plant on the top of Mount Artos, with those of alfalfa. P. ferulacea plants used in the study were collected from three different parts of Mount Artos in Van Province over two years. While organic matter content and in vitro organic matter digestibility of P. ferulacea were significantly higher, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, and acid detergent insoluble nitrogen contents were significantly lower compared with those of alfalfa (P < 0.01). In general, in situ dry matter, and organic matter and crude protein degradability of P. ferulacea were significantly higher compared with those of alfalfa starting from 6 h of incubation (P < 0.05). Organic matter and crude protein degradability of P. ferulacea was 79.15% and 85.31%, respectively, after 48 h of incubation. By-pass protein content and both organic matter and crude protein degradation rates were similar between samples (P > 0.05). It can be concluded that P. ferulacea has a better nutrient quality compared with even high quality alfalfa based on nutrient contents and digestibility values, and therefore substitution of alfalfa by P. ferulacea in the diet of ruminant animals is feasible.

(Parlar Scientific Publications (p S P), 2018) Guney, Mehtap; Kale, Cagri; Temur, Cuneyt; Bingol, Nuriye Tugba; Aksu, Taylan
In the present study, the effect of some silage additives (molasses, pre-fermented lactic acid juice and their combination) on silage quality of sugar beet pulp+wheat straw mixture was investigated. For this purpose, 4 groups, each consisted of 6 replicates, were designed; 1) sugar beet pulp+wheat straw mixture (Control), 2) sugar beet pulp+wheat straw mixture plus 2% molasses (M), 3) sugar beet pulp+wheat straw mixture plus pre-fermented lactic acid juice (PFJ, 44.07x10(7) cfu/ml(-1) LAB) and, 4) sugar beet pulp+wheat straw mixture plus 2% molasses+pre-fermented lactic acid juice (M+PFJ). The silages prepared in 1 L glass jars were opened after 60 days. While the amounts of dry matter (DM), crude ash (CA), and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) of treated-silages were higher than those of the control group (P <0.05), crude protein (CP) levels were not affected by treatment. pH, Fleigh score (FS), and lactic acid amounts were not affected by additives. However, the addition of molasses and PFJ decreased the NH3-N concentration of the silages compared to the control group (P <0.05). The M+PFJ addition decreased the acetic and propionic acid concentrations of the silages compared to those of the control group (P <0.05). As a result, the addition of 2% molasses and/or PFJ to the sugar beet pulp+wheat straw mixture reduced the DM losses of silages and did not affect the silage fermentation parameters and, in vitro digestibility of dry matter (DMD) and organic matter of silages (OMD).
Effects of Dietary Supplementation With Rosemary Oil on Methanogenic Bacteria Density, Blood and Rumen Parameters and Meat Quality of Fattening Lambs
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Guney, Mehtap; Karaca, Serhat; Erdogan, Sibel; Kor, Askin; Kale, Cagri; Onalan, Sukru; Bingol, Nuriye Tugba
This study aimed to determine the effect of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) essential oil (REO) in lamb fattening diets on blood, rumen parameters, fattening performance and meat quality. Thirty Norduz male lambs weaned at 4 months of age with average body weight 22.0 +/- 4.41 kg were used. Lambs were divided into three groups: no rosemary oil (control, R0), with 250 mg/kg DM (R250) and with 500 mg/kg DM (R500) rosemary oil added to the basal ration, and fed for 70 d. The daily feed intake of the R500 lambs (1.63 kg) was lower than other groups (1.70 kg) (p = .01). Rosemary oil did not change the density of methane-producing bacteria in the rumen fluid. Rumen pH was 6.31 in R250 lambs, while it was 6.16 in control (p < .04). The proportion of propionic acid (PA) increased in R250 (26.5 molar%) and R500 (26.0 molar%) lambs compared to control lambs (22.7 molar%) (p < .001). Serum glucose levels increased with REO dose (p < .01) and serum IGF-1 levels were significantly higher in R250 lambs (p < .001). The dose rates of REO used in fattening lambs had limited effect on fattening performance, carcase and meat quality. The results showed that although it does not affect the final live weight, the negative effect of REO on feed intake at 500 mg/kg was considered as a limiting factor and 250 mg/kg dose of REO may have positive effects on ruminal fermentation. Hence, it may be beneficial to try doses lower than 500 mg in further studies.
Effects of Plantago Major Extract on Serum Protein Fractions in Broiler Diet
(Agricultural Research Communication Centre, 2017) Bingol, Nuriye Tugba; Dede, Semiha; Karsli, Mehmet Akif; Yilmaz, Orhan; Turel, Idris; Yuksek, Veysel
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Plantago major's (P.major) water extract added into broiler diets at different levels on serum protein fractions. A total of 112 Ross 308 broiler chicks were used in the study. Experiment consisted of control and 3 treatment groups with a 28 chicks within each group. Each experimental group was divided into four subgroups consisting of4 chicks. A basal (control) diet was prepared and three experimental diets were established by addition of P.major into basal diet; P.major 1 (5 g/kg feed), P.major 2 (10 g/kg feed), P.major 3 (15 g/kg feed). Broiler chicks were fed with these diets for 42 days ad libitum. Total protein levels of P.major 3 group were lower than other groups and controls. It was determined that the albumin percentages and levels became decreased in a significant ratio in the P.major 1 and P.major 2, (P<0,05), Alpha 1 globulin percentage and concentration were found significantly high in P.major 2 group than the other groups (P<0.05), Alpha 2 level and percentage in P.major 1 group was seen significantly higher than the control group, the A/G ratio in P.major 1 and P.major 2 was seen significantly lower than the control group. There was no significant difference between groups for beta and gamma globulins as percentage.
Effects on Performance, Egg Quality Criteria and Cholesterol Level of Adding Different Ratios Flaxseed Oil Instead of Sunflower Oil To Compound Feed of Laying Hens
(Galenos Publ House, 2022) Altacli, Selcuk; Bingol, Nuriye Tugba; Deniz, Suphi; Bolat, Duran; Kale, Cagri; Kizilirmak, Fatma
This study was conducted to examine the effect on performance, egg quality criteria and egg cholesterol level of adding different ratios of flaxseed oil instead of sunflower oil to the compound feed of laying hens. A total of 210, 30-week old Lohmann LSL laying hens were acquired for the study. The study groups consisted of a control group (5% sunflower oil (SO) + 0% flaxseed oil (FO) and trial 1 (4% SO + 1% FO), trial 2 (3% SO + 2% FO), trial 3 (2% SO + 3% FO), trial 4 (1% SO + 4% FO) and trial 5 (0% SO + 5% FO) groups. The study lasted for 8 weeks. The feed consumption was not different among the experimental groups. Feed utilization rate was higher in group 2 compared to those of other between 0-8 weeks (P<0.001). Between weeks 0 to 8, all trial groups were found have significantly higher levels of linoleic acid, one of the fatty acids found in yolk, compared to the control group (P<0.001). Additives were not found to affects levels of cholesterol in yolk, with no significant differences found between groups. In short, sunflower oil and flaxseed oil added to laying hen rations did not create any differences in terms of egg quality criteria or egg cholesterol levels, but higher levels of flaxseed oil added to the rations resulted in linearly higher levels of linolenic acid content of yolk, and use of the two oil additives together increased egg yields.
