(Kafkas Univ, veteriner Fakultesi dergisi, 2021) Cetin, Nebi; Eski, Funda; Mis, Leyla; Naseer, Zahid; Bolacali, Memis
The aim of the present study was to observe the variation in oxidant (MDA), antioxidants (SOD, GSH, GSH-Px) and hormones (P4 and E2) levels in pregnant hairy goats during breeding season. In the this study, twenty hairy goats were synchronized by using sponges containing progesterone (fluorogestone acetate). The animals showing oestrus were inseminated twice, first at 18th -24th h and second at 36th - 48th h of oestrus. On 35th and 42nd days after insemination, pregnancy diagnosis examination was performed with transrectal ultrasonography. The blood samples were collected from pregnant goats at 0,11, 24, 57, 100, 134, 141 days of gestation and immediately after the parturation. Serum samples collected at estrus and different stages of gestation were analyzed for MDA, SOD, GSH-Px, GSH, P4 and E2 concentrations using standard protocols. The results showed that MDA level did not change in pregnant goats. The SOD, GSH and GSH-Px levels also shown a similar pattern throughout pregnancy period. The peak (P<0.05) level of progesterone was recorded between 11th to 134th days of gestation. At time of estrus (day 0) and late gestation (day 134 and 141), the concentrations estradiol reached at maximal level (P<0.05) in hairy goats. In conclusion, the oxidants and antoixidants do not change with respect to dynamics of progesterone or estradiol level during gestation period in black hairy goats.

(Agricultural Research Communication Centre, 2017) Bolacali, Memis; Ozturk, Yahya; Yilmaz, Orhan; Kucuk, Mursel; Karsli, Mehmet Akif
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of genotype and non-genetic factors on the growth traits and survival rates of Turkish indigenous Hair goats (n=63) and their first crosses with Boer bucks (n=91), reared under a semi-intensive management system in the Van province of Turkey. The live weights of the kids at birth and on days 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 were determined to be 3.64, 8.89, 13.99, 18.97, 23.62, 27.22 and 30.44 kg, respectively. The average daily gains in the pre-weaning, post-weaning and overall periods were 171.09, 136.43 and 148.34 g, respectively. The multiple-birth kids had lower survival rates than the single-birth kids (P<0.01). As a result, it may be recommended to Hair goat breeders in the region to use Boer bucks in cross-breeding in order to ensure a better growth performance from the kids; to apply a sustainable selection program; and to improve management conditions. In addition, the data obtained from this study may be used as a model for designing policies on Hair goat breeding in this region.
Effects of Lactation Stage, Age, Birth Type and Body Weight on Chemical Composotion of Red Karaman Sheep Milk
(Kafkas Univ, veteriner Fakultesi dergisi, 2011) Yilmaz, Orhan; Cak, Bahattin; Bolacali, Memis
The present study was undertaken to assess the influences of lactation stage, age, birth type and body weight of ewes on chemical properties of milk of Red Karaman sheep reared under extensive conditions. Average milk fat, protein, total solid, lactose and ash percentages of Red Karaman sheep milk were 6.31, 6.23, 17.35, 5.12 and 0.91%, respectively. Effects of lactation stage, age and body weight of ewes were significant (P<0.001; P<0.01) on milk fat and protein contents. The effect of only lactation stage was significant (P<0.01) on total solid. Milk fat and protein contents were lowest (6.20% and 5.72%) at the beginning and highest (6.44% and 6.80%) at the end of lactation stage. Significant positive phenotypic correlations were established between total solids and milk fat (0.87) and between total solids and protein (0.41). Significant negative phenotypic correlations were established between lactose and milk fat (-0.58), between lactose and protein (-0.40) and between lactose and total solid (-0.50). The results of the present study suggest that increase in milk fat was accompanied by a increase in milk protein and total solid toward the end of lactation. The younger and lighter ewes produced more milk fat and protein. Chemical compositions of milk of ewes rearing single lambs were similar to that of ewes rearing twins.
Environmental Factors Influencing Birth Weights of Norduz and Karakas Lambs
(Medwell online, 2008) Karakus, Kadir; Eyduran, Ecevit; Bolacali, Memis; Ozdemir, Taner
The aim of this study was to compare birth weights of Norduz and Karakas genotypes and determine the effects of gender, birth type, dam age and genotype on birth weight. The data were composed of a total of 204 (103 Norduz and 101 Karakas) lambs born in 2003 in Van, in located region of the Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. The effects of gender (p<0.05), birth type (p<0.05) and dam age (p<0.05) on birth weight were found to be significant, whereas difference among averages of birth weight of breeds was found to be non-significant. As a result, using of birth weight as crucial criterion for early selecting animal is based on determination and elimination of some factors affecting the trait.
Fattening Performance, Slaughter and Carcass Characteristics of Male Kids of Coloured Mohair Goats and Angora Goats X Coloured Mohair Goats Cross-Breed F1
(Medwell online, 2008) Bolacali, Memis; Kucuk, Mursel
The aim of this experiment was to determine the fattening performance and carcass characteristics of Angora goat x Coloured mohair goat cross-breed F, male kids (genotype 1) and male Coloured mohair kids (genotype 11). Genotype groups were divided into two sub-groups. Total daily feed intakes of kids in genotype Ia (n = 5) and IIa (n = 9) were 40% concentrate and 60% forage whereas total feed intake of kids in genotype Ib (n = 5) and IIb (n = 9) were 60% concentrate and 40% forage. Fattening lasted 90 days. Daily live weight gains and feed efficiencies (1 kg live weight gain/feed intake) of genotype Ia and Ib were 39.20 and 56.20 g; 8.01 and 7.41 kg, respectively. Daily live weight gains and feed efficiencies of genotype Ila and lib were 53.33 and 79.00 g; 6.64 and 7.41 kg, respectively. Cold dressing percentages, percentages of leg, back, loin and fat on kidney were 40.8, 41.9, 43.3 and 45.5% (p<0.05); 29.2, 31.5, 32.1 and 31.9% (p<0.05); 5.5, 6.0, 6.8 and 6.7% (p<0.05); 5.6, 6.5, 6.1 and 6.4%; 1.6, 3.7, 2.2 and 3.0% (p<0.001) for genotype Ia, Ib, IIa and IIb respectively. It can be concluded that Coloured mohair kids had better daily and total gains and kids fed 60% concentrate had the higher performance compared with others.

(Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2019) Irak, Kivanc; Celik, Ozgur Yasar; Celik, Burcak Aslan; Bolacali, Memis; Mert, Handan; Mert, Nihat
This study was performed to reveal the changes in certain serum biochemical parameters in animals diagnosed with Cystic Echinococcosis. The material of the study consisted of 40 sheep aged 1-3, which were brought for slaughter from different animal farms of Siirt. Overall, 20 sheep which were determined to be healthy in physical examinations and had no pathological lesions in their internal organs were determined as the control group, while the remaining 20 sheep with cystic lesions in their lungs and livers which were protoscolex-positive formed the infected group. While no significant relevant difference between the K, Cl., Ca, Mg, GGT, ALT, ALB, TRIG. and CHOL levels of health and infected animals (1)>0.05), statistically meaningful changes in Na (p<0.01). TBIL (p<0.05), and TP and GLOB (p<0.001) levels and AST (p<0.001) activity were observed between the groups. As a result, it was determined that the changes in AST, total protein, globulin, and total bilirubin levels could be used as supportive laboratory analyzes in a determination of the prognosis of animals infected with Cystic Echinococcosus and of the physiopathologic alterations occurring in their livers.
