Ampicillin, a partially synthetic derivative of penicillin, has been widely used in both human and veterinary medicine for a long time. As a result of its limited ability to be absorbed into the bloodstream when taken orally by humans, precursor chemicals such bakampicillin, pivampicillin, and talampicillin have been created. Although ampicillin is widely used in veterinary treatment practice, the applications of ampicillin esters in animals have not gone beyond scientific trials and have not found widespread use. Since there are not many antibiotic options authorized for use in poultry, in our review, the pharmacokinetic properties of ampicillins, especially oral bioavailability, in some animal species will be mentioned and the need for studies that will examine the bioavailability of pre-ampicillins will be emphasized.

The issue of nosocomial infections, or healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), remains a significant concern in healthcare settings worldwide. In recent times, there has been growing attention towards medical devices, notably stethoscopes, as potential vectors for pathogen transmission. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Staphylococcal contamination on stethoscopes used by students and staff at Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Faculty of Veterinary Medicine’s animal hospital. Furthermore, it gathered information about stethoscope usage habits, cleaning practices, handwashing routines, participants' knowledge about nosocomial infections, and their interest in learning more about these infections and stethoscope hygiene. The analysis of 50 stethoscope samples revealed that 27 (54%) were contaminated with one or more Staphylococci. The isolated 30 Staphylococcus spp. included Staphylococcus epidermidis (n=17; 56.7%), Staphylococcus hominis (n=10; 33.3%), Staphylococcus pasteuri (n=1; 3.3%), Staphylococcus capitis (n=1; 3.3%), and Staphylococcus schleiferi (n=1; 3.3%). Notably, the absence of the highly pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus in all samples provides some reassurance. However, the presence of various Staphylococcus spp. raises concerns due to their pathogenic potential. These findings align with previous research on stethoscope contamination, emphasizing the persistent problem of bacterial colonization on these crucial medical devices. Despite variations in bacterial prevalence among studies, Staphylococcus spp. consistently emerge as common contaminants, emphasizing the need for comprehensive stethoscope hygiene protocols in veterinary healthcare settings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the vector potential of stethoscopes in a veterinary setting within Turkey. The study suggests the necessity for further research, taking a proactive approach to tackle the challenges of nosocomial infections. This would enable the development of strategies to ensure a safer healthcare environment for patients and healthcare providers.

Nowadays, obesity is one of the most serious problems that significantly affect health in both human and animal populations. Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO), increases the risk of obesity and other metabolic diseases such as cancer, with taking part in many complex molecular pathways. On the other hand, environmental and genetic factors cause changes in FTO gene variants and expression levels, which result in phenotypic differences. Advanced knowledge on the genetic basis of human FTO gene and its association with cancer and obesity, has paved the way for the investigation of FTO gene in animals as well. In this review, we summarized current state of knowledge about the FTO gene, which is considered as an important marker of obesity in humans, as well as obesity, cancer and the association of FTO polymorphisms with these diseases in dogs by considering humans with other animal species. Understanding the molecular background of the FTO gene in dogs will be leading to the development of individual treatment methods and prediction of possible phenotypic effects in other species.

The present study revealed that there was a significant (P<0.05) effect of betaine on body weight, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of the broiler. Productive performance and blood cholesterol level of the broiler. A total of 150-day-old broiler chicks (Cobb 500) were placed into five dietary treatment groups: T0 (control diet), T1 (0.03% betaine in water), T2 (0.06% betaine in water), T3 (0.09% betaine in water), and T4 (0.12% betaine in water). Each group consisted of three replications containing 10 birds in each. Body weight gain (BWG), mortality rates, and meat yield characteristics were recorded. The collected data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA using SPSS version 25.00 software. Above, the total body weight was significantly highest in T2 (1758.3 ± 7.61 g), followed by T1 (1602.6 ± 10.16), T3 (1632.5±12.68 g), T4 (1606 ± 22.65 g), and T0 (1425.5 ± 10.14 g), respectively. The FCR was found to be lowest in T2 (1.36) and highest in T0 (1.49), whereas the FCR of T1, T3, and T4 were 1.43, 1.39, and 1.38, respectively. It was found that there was a significant difference (P<0.05) between the dietary groups for carcass weight, live weight, thigh weight, and breast weight. It was found that there was a significant difference among the treatment groups for cholesterol levels. During the experimental period, there was no mortality among the dietary groups. The T2 group generated a much larger net profit per broiler. Betaine supplementation in broilers is advantageous for growth performance, economic benefit, and lipid profile when used at 0.06% through drinking water, according to this study's findings. In the production of broilers, it may also be the best substitute as a growth promoter, stress reliever, and immune booster.

Objective: This study evaluates the protective effects of Vitamin C on hormonal level and testicular histopathology in rabbit bucks with metronidazole-induced toxicity. Methods: Twenty adult rabbit bucks which were weighed and divided into four groups with five in each group were used for the study. Group I is the control, group II was given metronidazole 400 mg/kg/day for 30 days, group III was co-administered 400 mg/kg/day of metronidazole and 200 mg/kg/day of Vitamin C for 30 days and group IV was given 200 mg/kg/day Vitamin C for 30 days. At the end of the experiment, the rabbit bucks were weighed, and blood samples were collected from the marginal ear vein into a plain bottle and serum extracted through centrifugation for hormonal assay. FSH, LH and Testosterone assay were carried out using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kits according to manufacturers’ instruction. One testis from each rabbit was removed for testicular histology. Results: The study found out that there was no significant difference in the body weights of the rabbit bucks before and after the experiment, metronidazole significantly (p < 0.05) affects hormonal concentration in the bucks and there was significant improvement following vitamin C administration. The study also found out that metronidazole caused testicular degeneration which was reversed by Vitamin C administration. Conclusion: Vitamin C has protective effect against metronidazole-induced toxicity and its use in therapeutic application in prolong use of metronidazole is recommended.

Coccidiosis is a protozoan disease of the Eimeriidae family, mostly caused by Eimeria species, sometimes Isospora species, seen in all domestic and wild animals, especially in young animals, which can result in hemorrhagic diarrhea, depression, weakening, weight loss, and sometimes death. Eimeria bovis, E. zuernii, E. auburnensis, E. ellipsoidalis, and E. alabamensis cause clinical coccidiosis by showing pathogenic properties. The disease is more important for young people. In its diagnosis, the age of the animal, the hygienic condition of the environment and clinical signs are evaluated. Clinical findings and stool consistency in calves and calves are also important in diagnosis. In the treatment of coccidiosis is based on the principles of killing the causative agent or preventing its development, eliminating fluid loss, and treating secondary infections. The treatment of coccidiosis in calves naturally infected with E. zuernii and E. bovis, oral administration of 15mg/kg dose of toltrazuril is reported to be very effective and reduces economic losses by positively affecting the growth performance of animals. In studies conducted in our country, 11 Eimeria and 1 Isospora species have been found in cattle. In studies on bovine coccidiosis in Turkey, the prevalence of Eimeria species in calves and calves was found to be 16-93.3%. In line with the results obtained, it has been observed that coccidiosis continues to be a problem even in cattle farms with relatively good care and feeding conditions in Turkey. It was concluded that routine checks should be made in the enterprises, necessary precautions should be taken and hygiene rules should be followed.
球虫病是艾美耳科的一种原生动物疾病，主要由艾美耳属（Eimeria）引起，有时也由等孢子属（Isospora）引起，见于所有家畜和野生动物，尤其是幼畜，可导致出血性腹泻、精神萎靡、衰弱、体重减轻，有时甚至死亡。Eimeria bovis、E. zuernii、E. auburnensis、E. ellipsoidalis 和 E. alabamensis 具有致病性，可引起临床球虫病。这种疾病对年轻人更为重要。在诊断时，要对动物的年龄、环境卫生条件和临床症状进行评估。犊牛和小牛的临床表现和粪便稠度也是诊断的重要依据。球虫病的治疗原则是杀死致病原或防止其发展、消除体液流失和治疗继发感染。据报道，在治疗自然感染 E. zuernii 和 E. bovis 的犊牛球虫病时，口服 15 毫克/千克剂量的妥曲珠利（toltrazuril）非常有效，可通过对动物生长性能产生积极影响而减少经济损失。在我国进行的研究中，在牛体内发现了 11 种艾美耳菌和 1 种异孢子菌。在土耳其进行的牛球虫病研究中，发现犊牛和小牛的艾美耳菌感染率为 16-93.3%。根据所获得的结果，人们发现，即使在土耳其护理和饲养条件相对较好的养牛场，球虫病仍然是一个问题。由此得出的结论是，企业应进行例行检查，采取必要的预防措施，并遵守卫生规则。

Along with domestication, various changes in nutrition and digestion have occurred in horses as well as in all species. Our review aims to compile existing studies examining the role of nutrition and digestion in the emergence of undesirable behaviours in domestic horses. The success achieved in species with high adaptability has not been sustained by the change in breeding purposes over the years. Welfare, defined as the physical and mental health of animals. The responses of animals to various stimuli are defined as behaviour. Since the behaviour of animals plays a primary role in monitoring welfare, studies on animal behaviour have intensified. The development of undesirable behaviours complicates the care and management practices and negatively affects the welfare of the animals in the following periods, resulting in negative consequences for both the animal and its environment. Stereotypes, which are among the unwanted behaviours and exhibited in the form of purposeless, repetitive movements, are one of the biggest behavioural problems of horse breeding. Oral stereotypes impede food intake, locomotor stereotypes impede mobility and are instrumental in the emergence of chronic and more complex health problems. Other undesirable behaviours may also harm the horse's keeper and other horses kept together in the same box, resulting in serious injury. It is known that nutrition and nutrients affect the development of undesirable behaviours in horses. It is known that anticipatory behaviour creates a basis for repetitive behaviours as a result of inhibition when feeding time and nutrient content are out of preference or insufficient. The effect of nutrition and nutrient content on the emergence of stereotypes and undesirable behaviours has not been fully addressed and the subject remains up-to-date. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief discussion of studies conducted to assess the effect of nutritional imbalances on stereotypic behaviour in horses. The PRISMA 2020 guidelines were applied to the review using systematic review rules.

Oral stereotypes impede food intake, locomotor stereotypes impede mobility and are instrumental in the emergence of chronic and more complex health problems. Other undesirable behaviours may also harm the horse's keeper and other horses kept together in the same box, resulting in serious injury. It is known that nutrition and nutrients affect the development of undesirable behaviours in horses. It is known that anticipatory behaviour creates a basis for repetitive behaviours as a result of inhibition when feeding time and nutrient content are out of preference or insufficient. The effect of nutrition and nutrient content on the emergence of stereotypes and undesirable behaviours has not been fully addressed and the subject remains up-to-date. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief discussion of studies conducted to assess the effect of nutritional imbalances on stereotypic behaviour in horses. The PRISMA 2020 guidelines were applied to the review using systematic review rules.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125674451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection that poses a threat to both human and animal health. The aim of this study is to investigate the publication trends in research on canine brucellosis and to determine the changes and general characteristics of the disease throughout history using bibliometric analysis. For this reason, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of 316 articles published in the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases from 1980 to 2022. The analysis was performed using the RStudio-Bibliometrix package and the Biblioshiny application. The publications included contributions from a total of 1241 authors. In addition, a total of 804 keywords plus and 398 author keywords were identified. The earliest study among the top 10 most cited articles dates back to 1985, while the most recent one was published in 2011. The majority of the publications were published in the years 2012 (n=17) and 2014 (n=17). The United States of America (USA) (n=55), Brazil (n=40), and Argentina (n=25) were identified as the countries with the highest number of published articles. Notably, Switzerland ranked first in terms of the average number of citations per article category (n=55.50), despite only two publications being attributed to this country. Keid L. (n=15), Lucero N. (n=14), Carmichael L. (n=13), and Kim J. (n=13) emerged as the most prolific contributors. Lucero N. obtained the highest number of total citations (TC=408). In the initial years of publication, the disease was predominantly characterized by keywords such as "brucellosis," "infection," "abortus," and "Brucella canis". However, keywords related to diagnosis and treatment, such as "diagnosis," "serodiagnosis," "vaccine," and "agar gel," gained significance and became increasingly relevant. The themes and sub-themes identified through this study can provide a basis for further investigation and scientific inquiry, thus contributing to the development of new research questions and opportunities for future studies.
布鲁氏菌病是一种人畜共患感染，对人类和动物健康都构成威胁。本研究的目的是调查犬布鲁氏菌病研究的出版物趋势，并利用文献计量学分析确定该疾病在整个历史中的变化和一般特征。为此，我们对1980年至2022年在Scopus和Web of Science (WoS)数据库中发表的316篇文章进行了文献计量学分析。使用RStudio-Bibliometrix软件包和Biblioshiny应用程序进行分析。这些出版物包括来自1241位作者的贡献。此外，共识别出804个关键词+和398个作者关键词。在被引用次数最多的10篇文章中，最早的一篇可以追溯到1985年，而最近的一篇发表于2011年。大多数出版物发表于2012年(n=17)和2014年(n=17)。美利坚合众国(USA) (n=55)、巴西(n=40)和阿根廷(n=25)被确定为发表文章数量最多的国家。值得注意的是，瑞士在每类文章的平均引用次数方面排名第一(n=55.50)，尽管该国只有两篇论文被引用。Keid L. (n=15)， Lucero n . (n=14)， Carmichael L. (n=13)和Kim J. (n=13)成为最多产的贡献者。总被引次数最多的是Lucero N. (TC=408)。在出版的最初几年，这种疾病的主要特征是关键词，如“布鲁氏菌病”、“感染”、“流产”和“犬布鲁氏菌”。然而，与诊断和治疗相关的关键词，如“诊断”、“血清诊断”、“疫苗”和“琼脂凝胶”，变得越来越重要，越来越重要。通过本研究确定的主题和子主题可以为进一步的调查和科学探究提供基础，从而有助于开发新的研究问题和为未来的研究提供机会。

During last decades, the production and consumption of small ruminant milk have been increased. As a result of this, sheep and goat farming have been developing and scientists are focused on clinical and feeding strategy researches on these animals. By the evolutionary challenges and adaptations, colostrum has a crucial role in immune complementation for litter. As a result of these challenges and adaptations neonatal life is more important especially in ruminants due to its lifetime effect and the future of livestock. The passive immune transfer is the main mechanism explained by biological evolution between the dam and lamb which is influenced by certain factors related to both dam and litter. Today the importance of passive immune transfer is well known for the future of livestock economy and animal welfare. In the literature, researchers are focused on correlation between colostrum quality (especially immunoglobulin concentration) and blood serum levels of immunoglobulin levels in newborns. The aims of the present review are to discuss data of recent studies and how passive immune transfer occurred in lambs as well as effecting factors and to supply new ideas to researchers.
