(Agricultural Research Communication Centre, 2019) Aldemiri, R.; Bingol, N. T.; Karsli, M. A.; Dede, S.
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of substituting grain barley with we sugar beet pulp (WSBP) silage prepared with wheat bran (WSBPS) at different levels on some blood parameters of lambs. A barley grain based control diet was prepared. Then, three experimental diets were prepared by substituting 35, 70 and 100% of barley grain with WSBPS (35, 70 and 100% WSBPS diets). Moreover, negative control was also established. A total of sixty, 6-7 month old male Akkaraman lambs with 24.29+1.50 kg mean body weight were used in the study. These lambs were fed one of five diets for a period of 75 days. Blood samples were taken at the beginning and end of the experiment. Serum glucose, total protein, BUN, phosphorus, and calcium levels were determined. Serum BUN and phosphorus levels were similar at the beginning and end of the experiment (P>0,05). Serum glucose levels were significantly higher in control, 100% WSBPS and negative control whereas Ca level was higher in all groups, except negative control at the end of experiment (P<0,05). Total protein levels were significantly lower in 70 and 100% WSBPS (P<0,05). All of the parameters, except BUN level were statistically similar among groups at the end of the experiment. In conclusion, substituting barley with wet sugar beet pulp silage did not have significant effects on blood parameters, except BUN. Substituting barley with WSBPS could be an alternative feeding strategy for farmers without affecting animal health based on the results of this experiment.

(Agricultural Research Communication Centre, 2018) Dede, S.; Bingol, N. T.; Kilinc, D. Kilicalp; Deger, Y.; Yoruk, I. H.; Ekici, P. Tanritanir; Karsli, M. A.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Plantago major liquid extract on serum antioxidant vitamin and mineral concentrations of broiler. The experiment consisted of the control and 2 treatment groups, composed of 28 Ross 308 broiler chicks (Total, 84). A basal (control) diet was formulated. P Major was added to the control diet as following: PM1 (5 g/kg feed), PM2 (10 g/kg feed). The chicks were feed for 42 days ad libitum. The serum micronutrients (Retinol, alpha-tocopherol, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, and zinc) levels were determined. The retinol, alpha-tocopherol, Fe, Mg, Mn levels were not affected, and the Zn levels decreased in the PM1 and PM2. The supplementation of P. major has affected the serum vitamin D and Zn levels for this study, and should be analyzed for the alterations on the metabolism in subsequent studies.

(Facta-fundacio Arnco Ciencia Tecnologia Avicolas, 2016) Bingol, N. T.; Dede, S.; Karsli, M. A.; Deger, Y.; Kilinc, Kilicalp D.; Cetin, S.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the replacement of different levels of protein derived from soybean meal with that from peas in broiler diets on serum protein fractions. A corn-soybean meal basal diet was formulated as the control diet (Control=C) (NRC, 1994), and then pea was added to the control diet to replace 20% (P20) or 40% (P40) of the crude protein of the control diet. The diets were randomly fed to 12 pens per treatment, each housing five birds, for 42 days. Blood samples were collected from 36 birds (3 birds x 4 pens x3 treatments) and the serum protein fractions were separated. Gamma-globulin percentage was higher in group P20 compared with C and P40 groups. Total protein, beta-globulin, and gamma-globulin concentrations were significantly higher in group P20 compared with those of both control and P40 group (p<0.05).
The Nutritive Value of Modified Dried Vinasse (Pro Mass) and Its Effects on Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics and Some Blood Biochemical Parameters in Steers
(Ecole Nationale veterinaire Toulouse, 2010) Yalcin, S.; Eltan, Oe; Karsli, M. A.; Yalcin, S.
This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition and rumen degradability characteristics of modified dried vinasse (ProMass) originating from bakers yeast production and to investigate its effects on steer performance, carcass characteristics and some blood parameters. This additive compound with an elevated metabolizable energy (2 800 kcal/g) contained a marked proportion of crude proteins which were remarkably rich in glutamic acid. The degradation of dry matter and organic matter measured in rumens from 4 crossed sheep was very high (about 900 g/kg) during the first 4 hours and the ProMass crude protein was markedly soluble. Forty-five steers were randomly allotted in 3 equal groups according to the mixed diet regimen (concentrates plus forage): concentrates supplemented with 40 g/kg or 80 g/kg ProMass were distributed to assay groups for 24 weeks whereas one group was not supplemented and served as negative control. Growth performance and food efficiency was slightly increased but not significantly in supplemented steers and faecal moisture and serum biochemical profiles (urea, protein and cholesterol concentrations and AST, ALT and ALP activities) were unchanged compared to controls. ProMass supplementation has induced significant reductions of the heart and pelvic fat weights whereas the dressing percentages and the other carcass characteristics remained unaffected. These results showed that ProMass supplies highly soluble proteins, can be included in the steer ration up to 80 g/kg without adverse effects and would promote fat utilization.

(Asian-australasian Assoc Animal Production Soc, 2009) Bildirici, N.; Aldemir, R.; Karsli, M. A.; Dogan, Y.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate potential benefits of intercropping of corn with runner bean for a small-sized farming system.. based on land equivalent ratio (LER) and silage yield and quality of corn intercropped with runner bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in and conditions of Turkey under an irrigation system. This experiment was established as a split-plot design in a randomized complete block, with three replications and carried out over two (consecutive) years in 2006 and 2007. Seven different mixtures (runner bean, B and silage corn sole crop, C., 10% B+90% C, 20% B+80% C, 30% B+70% C, 40% B+60%C, and 50% B+50%C) of silage corn-runner bean were intercropped. All of the mixtures were grown under irrigation. The corn-runner bean fields were planted in the second week of May and harvested in the first week of September in both years. Green beans were harvested three times each year and green bean yields were recorded each time. After the 3rd harvest of green bean, residues of bean and corn together were randomly harvested from a 1 m(2) area by hand using a clipper when the bean started to dry and corn was at the dough stage. Green mass yields of each plot were recorded. Silages were prepared from each plot (triplicate) in 1 L mini-silos. After 60 d ensiling, sub-samples were taken from this material for determination of dry matter (DM), pH. organic acids, chemical composition, and in vitro DM digestibility of silages. The LER index was also calculated to evaluate intercrop efficiencies with respect to sole crops. Average pH, acetic, propionic and butyric acid concentrations were similar but lactic acid and ammonia-N levels were significantly different (p<0.05) among different mixtures of bean intercropped with corn. Ammonia-N levels linearly increased from 0.90% to 2.218 as the percentage of bean increased in the mixtures up to a 50:50 seeding ratio. While average CP content increased linearly from 6.47 to 12.45%, and average NDF and ADF contents decreased linearly from 56.17 to 44.88 and from 34.92 to 33.51%. respectively, (p<0.05) as the percentage of bean increased in the mixtures up to a 50:50 seeding ratio, but DM and OM contents did not differ among different mixtures of bean intercropped with corn (p>0.05). In vitro OM digestibility values differed significantly among bean-corn mixture silages (p<0.05). Fresh bean. herbage DM, IVOMD, ME yields, and LER index were significantly influenced by percentage of bean in the mixtures (p<0.01). As the percentage of bean increased in the mixtures up to a 50:50 seeding ratio, yields of fresh bean (from 0 to 24,380 kg/ha) and CP (from 1,258.0 to 1,563.0 kg/ha) and LER values (from 1.0 to 1.775) linearly increased, but yields of herbage DM (from 19,670 to 12,550 kg/ha), IVOMD (from 12.790 to 8.020 kg/ha) and ME (46,230 to 29,000 Mcal/ha) yields decreased (p<0.05). In conclusion, all of the bean-corn mixtures provided a good silage and better CP concentrations. Even though forage yields decreased, the LER index linearly increased as the percentage of bean increased in the mixture up to a 50:50 seeding ratio, which indicates a greater utilization of land. Therefore. a 50:50 seeding ratio seemed to be best for optimal utilization of land in this study and to provide greater financial stability for labor-intensive, small farmers.
