(Wiley, 2025) Ari, Hasan Huseyin; Tas, Abuzer; Sen, Ismail; Bayraktar, Metin; Garip, Mustafa; Begaliev, Aziz; Salykov, Ruslan
This study involved morphological measurements of the body and head of 77 male and female Kyrgyz Taigans aged 12-16, 24-30 and 36+ months (denoted as groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively). Length measurements (head, face and ear) were obtained using an electronic calliper; width measurements (head, face and pinna) and circumference measurements (head, neck, chest, waist and front and rear shins) were taken using a measuring tape; and height measurements (withers and rump) were obtained using a measuring stick. IBM SPSS 22 was used for statistical analysis, and descriptive statistics of the groups were obtained. Student's t-test was used for between-group comparisons (gender), ANOVA for multiple-group comparisons (age), and the Tukey test for post hoc analysis. The average measurements for face, ear, tail, head, neck, front and rear shins, body length, and height were compared, and significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed between the male and female dogs in the three groups. Significant differences in neck, waist and chest circumferences and chest width and depth were also observed (p < 0.05). The Kyrgyz Taigan is a medium-sized dog breed in terms of body weight, is long-headed (dolichocephalic), exhibits a rectangular body shape similar to other greyhound breeds, and has a rump and withers that are of similar heights. Compared with other greyhound breeds, the Kyrgyz Taigan has greater values for head length, withers and rump heights, chest circumference and chest depth.
The Effect of Victory and Defeat on the Correlations of Stress Parameters Between the Horse and Rider in Kök-Börü Equestrian Teams
(Wiley, 2025) Risvanli, Ali; Sen, Ismail; Canuzakov, Kanat; Tulobayev, Askarbek; Tas, Abuzer; Salykov, Ruslan; Ruzikulov, Nuriddin
The presented study outlines a research plan aimed at determining the effects of winning and losing situations on the relationship levels between the rider and horse's stress, metabolic, and physiological parameters in K & ouml;k-B & ouml;r & uuml;, a traditional equestrian team game. For this purpose, blood samples were collected from both the horses and riders of four different teams participating in two different K & ouml;k-B & ouml;r & uuml; games before and after the games. Cortisol, ACTH, beta-endorphin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, T3 and T4 analyses were performed on the collected blood samples using species-specific commercial ELISA kits. Additionally, biochemical and haematological parameters in the same blood samples were tested using an autoanalyser. Based on the obtained data, it was found that there were both positive and negative correlations between most biochemical and haematological parameters of the winning teams' horses and riders before and after the game. However, when examining the correlations between the hormonal parameters of the winning teams' horses and riders before the game, only a negative correlation was found between ACTH and T4 (-0.529, p < 0.05), and no positive correlation was identified among any hormonal parameters. In conclusion, it was interpreted that in the equestrian team sport of K & ouml;k-B & ouml;r & uuml;, there are significant changes in the hormonal parameters, especially before and after the game, between the horses and riders of the losing teams. Furthermore, it was concluded that winning and losing situations in K & ouml;k-B & ouml;r & uuml; games did not have a significant impact on the correlations between haematological and biochemical parameters before and after the game for both the horses and riders.
Stress Parameters of Horse Riders in Kok-Boru Games by Winning and Losing Situations
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2025) Risvanli, Ali; Sen, Ismail; Canuzakov, Kanat; Tulobayev, Askarbek; Tas, Abuzer; Salykov, Ruslan; Bayraktar, Metin
Introduction This study examined the effects of winning or losing situations on the stress, metabolic, and physiological aspects of horse riders in Kok-Boru, a traditional equestrian team game. Methods Blood samples were collected from the riders of four different teams participating in two separate Kok-Boru games, both before and after gameplay. The samples were examined for levels of cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), beta-endorphin, adrenaline, noradrenaline, triiodothyronine (T-3), and thyroxine (T-4) using species-specific commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The same samples were tested for biochemical and hematological parameters with an autoanalyzer. Results Post-game, the riders from the winning teams showed an increase in the serum levels of white blood count, granulocytes (GRA), percent GRA, mean corpuscular volume, platelet count, plateletcrit, creatine kinase, albumine, aspartate transferase, creatine, cortisol, and ACTH compared to their levels before the game. In contrast, the post-game serum levels of lymphocytes, adrenaline, noradrenaline, and T-3 of the winning team were lower. When the pre-game samples of winning and losing teams were compared, it was observed that sodium and T-4 levels were higher in the winners. Conclusions The data suggest that winning team riders put in more effort and experienced more stress. Conversely, those on losing teams exerted less effort and experienced less stress, as indicated by the parameter changes.
Surgical Removal of Coenurus Cerebralis Cysts Located in the Brain of Sheep
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Tas, Abuzer; Sen, Ismail; Hatipoglu, Fatih; Ari, Hasan Huseyin; Risvanli, Ali; Salykov, Ruslan; Kyzy, Aiperi Aitmyrza
Coenurosis caused by Coenurus cerebralis poses a significant economic threat to sheep. To date, no effective treatment has been identified for this parasitic infection once it has settled in the brain. This study aimed to investigate the surgical removal of C. cerebralis cysts from the brains of infected sheep. Twenty sheep were utilized in the experiment, and the animals underwent a 24-hour fasting period before the surgical procedure. Various biochemical parameters, including TP, ALP, BUN, AST, CK, LDH, RBC, WBC, Hb, and Hct, were measured in the animals both before and one month after the operation. Anesthesia was induced by administering 2.2 mg/kg IV ketamine hydrochloride, five minutes after the administration of 0.1 mg/kg IV xylazine hydrochloride. Following anesthesia, the trepanation site was determined through percussion. Subsequently, an incision was made in the skin, exposing the skull bone. The skull was opened using a scalpel through trepanation, and the cysts were carefully removed. The results demonstrated that the presented surgical technique effectively treated C. cerebralis cysts in the sheep's brains, restoring normal motor and metabolic functions. Given these outcomes, it is concluded that the proposed surgical technique holds promise for practical application in the field.
