Mycobacterium bovis-caused bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a global public health concern and commercially significant zoonotic disease. Many wild and domesticated animals, including cattle, are susceptible to this fatal disease and play an important role in cross-species transmission. To gain a better understanding of bTB in dairy cattle, a bTB serological study is also necessary in order to identify efficient bTB control strategies in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, however, seroepidemiological research is either non-existent or limited (particularly Chattogram). To determine the seroprevalence of bTB and related possible risk factors in dairy cattle, a serological cross-sectional study was conducted (both animal and farm level). We estimated the seroprevalence of bTB was 7.5%(N=442) in this investigation, which also identified one animal-level and two farm-level possible risk factors. Individual animal risk factors included cattle source (own stock: OR=3.4, 95% CI: 1.4-8.1, p=0.006), and farm risk factors included population size (Larger: OR= 26.2, 95% CI: 2.2-319.1, p=0.010) and stocking density (Low and moderate: OR=19.6, 95%CI: 1.5-261.5, p=0.024). In the face-in housing system, there was also a higher risk of bTB seropositivity (OR=4.5). The research's key findings are thoroughly explored, and the findings will aid in the prevention and control of bTB in Bangladesh. In addition, early detection of positive cases, as well as their prompt removal and good farm management practices, can assist in preventing the spread of bTB to new human or bovine hosts. In underdeveloped nations like Bangladesh, a coordinated effort with local public health officials is critical for implementing an efficient TB control program.

In poultry, sacral plexus usually occurs as a result of a combination of ventral branches of 1-5 sacral spinal nerves. The aim of this study is comparatively determination the sacral plexus and its branches of magpie (Pica pica) and chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) and anatomic differences between two species. In the present study, there were used 20 magpies (Pica pica) and 20 chukar partridges (Alectoris chukar). All animals were sacrificed under anesthesia and the nerves forming sacral plexus were separately dissected and photographed in the both species. In the present study, it was determined that forming of sacral plexus and general anatomic distribution of nerves arising from plexus in the both species were similar with other many bird species. However, nerves forming the sacral plexus and their branches were thicker in chukar partridge than magpie.

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the craniometric measurements of the skull of the Konya Merino breed and to reveal the differences between it and other sheep breeds. Material-Method: For this study, ten Konya merino heads were used and craniometric measurements were made from 46 points on the skull. Result: In the study, the skull length of the Konya merino was 274.03 ± 5.23, the frontal width (ectorbitale – ectorbitale) which is the widest region of the skull 123.47 ± 2.60, zygomatic width (the distance between two zygomatic arches) 110.30 ± 1.96 and the distance between the foramen supraorbitales 49.06 ± 2.38. has been found to be. It was determined that both the fronto-nasal and palato-maxillar sutures resembled the letter "V" in Konya merino, while the pariato-frontal suture was in the form of a straight line. When the correlation between index values was examined, it was seen that there was a statistically significant strong positive correlation between I1 (Nasal index) and I2 (Facial Index), but the relationship between other examined features was insignificant. When the statistically significant correlation values of the skull measurements are examined, it is seen that there is a strong negative or positive correlation between the features. While the highest positive correlation was between L5 (premolare – prosthion) and L39 (greatest palatal breadth (measured across the outer borders of the alveoli) features (0.943), the highest negative correlation was L33 (greatest neurocranium breadth-greatest breadth of the alveoli)). braincase (euryon - euryon) and L46 (supraorbital foramina distance) features were found to be (-0.908). Conclusion: As a result, in this study, it is thought that the difference in the craniometric values of Konya merino, which is accepted as the native breed of Turkey, with other sheep breeds, depending on the skull morphology, may be caused by the breed of sheep.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of thyme extract in puppies naturally infected with ascarids. Methodology: The study consisted of 20 puppies of different sexes (males and females), 2-4 months old, naturally infected with ascarid. The experimental units were given an oral 20% concentration of thyme extract for 3 days, and faecal oocyst counts were conducted on the 0th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th days starting from the day the treatment was started (day 0). Also, urea, creatinine, AST, ALT values in the blood were monitored on the 0th and 3rd days, together with daily clinical examination, to monitor possible toxic effects. Results: While the number of faecal egg counts in 2 puppies (10%) varied considerably, egg shedding in 8 (40%) of the treated puppies was zero. It was observed that in 10 of the puppies (60%), egg shedding was not completely zero. However, the oocyst counts decreased by 25% to 98.3%. It was also observed that the values of the measured blood biochemical values were within reference range and the puppies did no not show any clinical sign of toxicity during treatment. Conclusion and Recommendation: It was concluded that the thyme extract did not have any toxic effect in the puppies at the concentration studied, and it could be effective in the treatment of ascariasis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the hemogram analysis results of neonatal diarrheal calves with and without gastrointestinal protozoa infection. Materials and Methods: A total of 21 neonatal calves with diarrhoea were examined within the scope of the study. A total of 21 neonatal calves with diarrhoea were examined within the scope of the study. Eleven of the cases were calves with gastrointestinal protozoa infection and 10 were calves without gastrointestinal protozoa infection. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of calves were evaluated. Results: When demographic data and vital signs were evaluated between the two groups, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups (p>0.05). However, when the hemogram values between the two groups were compared, it was determined that there was a significant difference in white blood cell (p=0.003) and neutrophil (p=0.01) numbers. Conclusions: Evaluating hemogram parameters should be taken into account as it is an inexpensive and easy-to-apply analysis and offers important outputs in the control and follow-up of neonatal calf health especially in neonatal calf diarrhoea cases which is one of the common diseases.

Objective: This study was carried out to determine the distribution of digestive system parasites in horses in İpekyolu, Tusba, Özalp, Saray and Gürpınar districts in Van between June 2019 and May 2020. Materials and Methods: Materials of this study consist of a total of 95 horse stool samples, 58 male and 37 female, from different races, ranging in age from 1 to 12 years. Results: Various parasitic infections were detected in 65 (68.42%) of 95 horses examined by stool examination. While 55 of 65 infected horse stool samples were infected with a single species, it was determined that stool samples of 10 horses were infected with two species. In infected horses, at most Strongylidae spp. (44.21%) were detected followed by Parascaris equorum (11.57%), Eimeria leuckarti (6.31%), Anoplocephala spp. (5.26%), Oxyuris equi (4.21%), D. dendriticum (3.16%), and Fasciola spp. (4.21%). When the infected horses were evaluated according to age groups, parasitic infections were detected in 34 (35.79%) horses aged 8 years and above, 29 (30.53%) between the ages of 5-7 and 12 (12.63%) between the ages of 1-4. When the infected horses were evaluated according to gender groups, parasitic infections were found in 38 (65.51%) of 58 male horses and 27 (72.92%) of 37 female horses. Conclusion: As a result, in this study, it was determined that the horses in the Van region were infected with various parasite species. In the study, helminth infections were found more frequently, and it was predicted that it should be combated with anthelmentics, taking into account the development of resistance against these parasites.

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a viral contagious disease of all domestic and feral cats. A 2.5 years old male Persian breed cat was brought to the Teaching and Training Pet Hospital and Research Center, Purbachal, Dhaka, with a history of the lateral recumbent, swollen abdomen, breathing difficulty, and also no urination. A clinical examination revealed an accumulation of fluid in the abdomen and chest, and the cat was suspected of FIP.The blood sample was collected for the estimation of biochemical parameters like total protein (TP), albumin, bilirubin, SGPT, and SGOT. An X-ray and ultrasonography were performed to check the morphology of the abdomen, chest, and kidneys. Accumulation of fluid in the abdomen and chest, and decreased levels of total protein, albumin, and albumin-globulin ratio confirmed that the cat was affected by FIP. A Rivalta test was also performed to observe the changes in effusion fluid.As the prevalence of FIP is increasing nowadays, a proper diagnosis of this disease is required.

A 2-year-old, male, weighing 2.4 kg, crossbred cat was brought to Siirt University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Clinic of Surgery Department, due to traffic accident. A diffuse, palpable, painless swelling was detected under the skin on the area starting from the right cranio-lateral abdomen to the right cranio-lateral thorax. In the orthopedic examination, there was pain in the pelvic region and asymmetry at the right coxa-femoral joint. In the radiological examination of the thorax and abdomen, there was damage to the right lateral thoracoabdominal muscle in abdominal region. There were also fractures in the sternum and pelvis and a diffuse interstitial lung pattern in the right coxa-femoral luxation and the lungs. In the ultrasonographic examination, intestinal segments within the swelling at the line of the right lateral thorax were monitored. Ventral median laparotomy was performed on the patient under general anesthesia. Herniated intestines at the right paracostal region were placed back into the abdominal cavity and herniorrhaphy was performed. The abdominal cavity was closed according to the technique. As a result, paracostal hernia is a pathology that is rarely seen in cats after being hit by a car. Many operative techniques have been defined in hernia treatment. Median laparotomy was preferred for our patient and the hernia was treated successfully. This case report was prepared in order to contribute to our colleagues.

In the radiological examination of the thorax and abdomen, there was damage to the right lateral thoracoabdominal muscle in abdominal region. There were also fractures in the sternum and pelvis and a diffuse interstitial lung pattern in the right coxa-femoral luxation and the lungs. In the ultrasonographic examination, intestinal segments within the swelling at the line of the right lateral thorax were monitored. Ventral median laparotomy was performed on the patient under general anesthesia. Herniated intestines at the right paracostal region were placed back into the abdominal cavity and herniorrhaphy was performed. The abdominal cavity was closed according to the technique. As a result, paracostal hernia is a pathology that is rarely seen in cats after being hit by a car. Many operative techniques have been defined in hernia treatment. Median laparotomy was preferred for our patient and the hernia was treated successfully. This case report was prepared in order to contribute to our colleagues.","PeriodicalId":176953,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Veterinary Research","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128831086","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}
Fermented sausage, produced by traditional methods, matures by fermentation of microbial flora originating from the raw materials and the place of production. The source of contamination of the meat industry with yeasts, which are widespread in the environment, are the surfaces of the tools and equipment used in processing. Although the presence of yeasts in meat products contributes to the formation of flavor and aroma, some yeast species can cause undesirable flavors, discoloration, and the formation of a soft texture. Therefore, our study aimed to determine the yeast profile of fermented sausages using the Vitek2 Compact System, in which various biochemical tests were performed. In the sausage samples was detected Candida zeylanoides in 56.25%, Candida sake in 52.10%, Pichia farinosa in 25%, Cryptococcus laurentii in 10.42%, Candida glabrata in 4.17%, and Rhodotorula glutinis in 10.42% yeast species. The difference in yeast species in fermented sausages varied depending on the microbial load of the raw material and compliance with hygiene regulations during processing and fermentation conditions.
