Correlation Between Biochemical Parameters and Production Traits in Merino Cross Sheep Ii -: Hemoglobin and Transferrin Types
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey, 2003) Mert, N; Gündüz, H; Akgündüz, V; Akgündüz, M
To determine the relationship between biochemical parameters and production traits in sheep, 111 of the animals raised in the Bandirma Sheep Research Institute were used as living materials. The blood samples of 31 Hampshire Down x Merino, 33 Dorset Down x Merino, 27 German Black Headed x Merino and 20 Border Leicester x Merino crosses were taken. Transferrin (Tf) and haemoglobin (Hb) types were determined. Some production traits such as greasy fleece weight, staple length, fiber diameter, ondulance and lamb birth weight were estimated. Important correlations between Hb AB and lamb birth weights (P less than or equal to 0.05), Hb AB and greasy fleece weight in SBA x Merino crosses (P less than or equal to 0.05), Hb AB and greasy fleece weight in Border Leicester x Merino crosses (P less than or equal to 0.05), Tf B type and greasy fleece weight in SBA x Merino and Border Leicester x Merino crosses (P less than or equal to 0.05) and Tf A type and lamb birth weight in SBA x Merino crosses (P less than or equal to 0.05) were also determined.
Correlation Between Biochemical Parameters and Production Traits in Merino Cross Sheep Iii -: Glucose, Alkaline Phosphatase, Ceruloplasmin
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey, 2003) Mert, N; Gündüz, H; Akgündüz, V; Akgündüz, M
A group of 111 sheep raised in the Bandirma Sheep Research Institute were used as living materials for this study. Blood samples from 31 Hampshire Down x Merino, 33 Dorset Down x Merino, 27 German Black Headed x Merino and 20 Border Leicester x Merino crosses were taken. Plasma glucose, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and ceruloplasmin levels were determined. Some production traits such as greasy fleece weight, staple length, fiber diameter, ondulance, lamb birth weight, reproduction traits and the live weight gain of lambs were estimated. There were blood glucose differences between the breeds and an important correlation between greasy fleece weight and ALP and glucose levels.
Correlation Between Biochemical Parameters and Production Traits in Merino Crosses Sheep -: I -: Erythrocyte Potassium and Glutathione
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey, 2003) Mert, N; Gündüz, H; Akgündüz, V; Akgündüz, M
To determine the relationship between biochemical parameters and production traits in sheep, 111 sheep raised in Bandirma Sheep Research Institute were used as living material. Blood samples of 31 Hampshire Down x Merino, 33 Dorset Down x Merino, 27 German Black Headed x Merino and 20 Border Leicester x Merino crosses were taken. The levels and types of blood glutathione (GSH) and erythrocyte potassium (K+) were determined. Correlations between some production traits such as greasy fleece weight and lamb birth weight were estimated. Statistical significance was found in greasy fleece weight and high glutathione (GSH(H)) and low potassium (LK) SBA x Merino crosses, but in Dorset Down x Merino crosses only low glutathione (GSH(h)) type was shown to have significance with regards lamb birth weight.
The Effects of Inhalation Anaesthetics Made With Halothane and Isoflurane on Some Biochemical Parameters in Sheep
(Mezogazda Kiado Kft, 2002) Atasoy, N; Gündüz, H; Gençcelep, M; Karakaya, C; Mercan, N
This study was undertaken to determine the effects of halothane and isoflurane on the functions of different organs. A total of 20 sheep were used as material. Ten of them were anaesthetized with halothane (1%) and the other 10 with isoflurane (1.5%). Blood samples were taken from v. jugularis before (BA), during (DA) and after anaesthesia (AA). Sera were collected and analysed for glucose, BUN, creatinine, total bilirubin, AST, ALT, amylase, LDH, CK, CK-MB, ALP, Ca, Na, K and Cl. The effects of the anaesthetics on the parameters were evaluated statistically. These parameters did not change significantly in isoflurane anaesthesia (p>0.05), but in halothane anaesthesia glucose (DA) (p<0.05), creatinine (AA) (p<0.01) and AST (AA) (p<0.05) levels changed significantly. It was concluded that isoflurane can be tolerated better than halothane by sheep and its application did not have destructive effects on the metabolism of pancreas, kidney, liver and muscle.
Serum Trace Elements Status of Rabbits Supplemented With Nigella Sativa, Vitamins C and E, and Selenium Against Damage by N-Methyl
(Humana Press inc, 2002) Gündüz, H; Dede, S; Agaoglu, ZT; Atasoy, N; Mert, N
In this study, we investigated the effects of Nigella sativa, vitamins C and E, and selenium on the levels of trace elements in the serum of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-injected rabbits. The rabbits were separated into one control and three experimental groups, each consisting of eight rabbits. MNNG was administered to all rabbits at a dose of 20 mg/kg. Group A received a suspension of N. sativa, group B received a combination of vitamins C and E and selenium, and group C received MNNG without any additional treatment. Group D did not receive any treatment and acted as control. The concentrations of serum zinc, copper, and iron were determined for groups A, B, C, and D. The zinc levels were 155.3 +/- 25.8, 304.7 +/- 14.22, 117.2 +/- 27.9, and 87.0 +/- 8 mu/dL for groups A-D, respectively; copper was measured at 234.8 +/- 31.9, 214.3 +/- 14.2, 196.5 +/- 19.3, and 359.2 +/- 19.9 mu/dL and iron levels were 276.3 +/- 10.71, 260.8 +/- 7.15, 211.2 +/- 13.47, and 223.4 +/- 9.5 mu/dL, in the stated group order. There were statistically significant differences between groups (p < 0.05).
