Body weight BW is an important heritable phenotype and related to other functional and production traits in cattle. The past decade has seen an increase in emphasis on genome wide association studies GWAS for detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs that are associated with quantitative phenotypes. Prediction of phenotypes using across-breed GWAS information [genomic prediction GP ] is an also important research area but received less attention from the community. Understanding the link between major genes and common ancestors within and between breeds will contribute to a deeper understanding of GP across breeds. The aims of the present study were two-fold: 1 to examine genetic structure and to detect associated SNPs for BW using various single and multiple locus genomic models and 2 genomic prediction of BW using Siberian cattle populations based on across-breed genomic information. The most obvious finding to emerge from this study was the increase in the across-GP accuracy when gene segregation in both related populations was found. These findings have significant implications for the understanding of the way in which common ancestors and/or the presence of quantitative trait loci might affect the accuracy of the GP results.

In this study, the effects of beta-mannanase supplementation to laying hens? diets with different guar meal GM ratios on performance and egg quality traits were investigated. The experimental period lasted 126 days. Ninety-six Lohman Brown hens at the age of 56 weeks were kept in individual cages. They were divided into 8 treatment groups as follows: 0% guar meal GM0 control ; 0% GM + 0.05% beta-mannanase GM0E ; 8% GM GM8 ; 8% GM + 0.05% beta-mannanase GM8E ; 16% GM GM16 ; 16% GM + 0.05% beta-mannanase GM16E ; 24% GM GM24 ; and 24% GM + 0.05% beta-mannanase GM24E . A photoperiod of 16.5 h light and 7.5 h dark was applied throughout the experiment. The present treatments had significant effects on changes in final live body weight, feed consumption, feed efficiency, egg production, egg weight, shell thickness, eggshell weight, shape index, yolk index, Haugh unit, and yolk pigmentation values P 0.05 . According to our results, guar meal might be used maximally at 16% in laying hen diets, because of its negative effects on laying performance and egg quality traits.

The red cherry shrimp RCS Neocaridina davidi is a tiny shrimp that has a bright red color; therefore, it has become a popular ornamental species. The aims of this study are to determine the fecundity, egg size, and maturation time of the RCS at different sizes and also to determine its ovarian maturity criteria. A total of 18 adult female shrimps in 3 different size groups based on carapace length were used. They were grouped as small S: 1.5-1.7 cm , medium M: 1.8-2.0 cm , and large L: 2.1-2.3 cm ; a total of 36 adult male shrimps 1.5 ± 0.2 cm were used in the research. The parameters observed in this study were fecundity, size of the egg diameter , and gonadal maturity of the female. The L-size group of the RCS obtained the highest fecundity, the highest uniformity of egg size, and the fastest maturation period, so it can be concluded that the best reproductive performance was observed in the L-size group of RCS. We also determined 4 ovarian maturity criteria of the RCS so that they can be used for production efficiency, in further research, and for its culture.

A two-year-old male domestic short hair cat was referred with a history of lower urinary tract obstruction. Four months previously, this animal showed clinical signs of hematuria. On physical examination, the cat showed signs of mild abdominal cramping and painful urination or dysuria. Abdominal radiography was also performed, and the result showed a radiopaque material-a bullet- within the bladder lumen. Cystotomy was performed to remove the bullet from the urinary bladder. At that time, amikacin was used according to bacterial culture Enterobacter spp. and drug susceptibility results. Three weeks after surgery, the cat was presented to the Small Animal Hospital for a health check-up. There were no clinical signs or any complications to be seen.

Heat stress is a lethal threat to chickens. This study investigated the protective effect of a Ginkgo biloba extract EGB761 against heat stress in chickens in vivo. A total of 200 one-day-old hens were separated randomly into control Con , heat stress HS , 0.1% EGB administration and heat stress 0.1% EGB+HS , 0.3% EGB administration and heat stress 0.3% EGB+HS , and 0.6% EGB administration and heat stress 0.6% EGB+HS groups. After EGB761 administration for 45 days, ten chickens were selected randomly, assigned to one of the designated groups, and exposed to a one-time heat stress condition of 38 ± 1 °C for 3 h. The results showed that EGB761 administration improved the growth performance and physiological condition of the chickens, reducing feeding-related mortality. EGB761 lowered the histological scores of the heart, liver, and duodenum in the heat-stressed chickens. EGB761 significantly reduced the transcription and translation levels of Hsp27, Hsp70, and Hsp90 in these organs. EGB761 might promote the transformation of Hsps in the heart, increase the nuclear translocation of Hsp27 and Hsp90 in hepatocytes, and regulate the accumulation of Hsp27 and Hsp70 in intestinal villi. Therefore, EGB761 administration is a potential method for protecting chickens from acute heat stress damage.

Foodborne infections due to Salmonella are still a major concern worldwide. Particularly contaminated egg and egg related products are the primary sources for human salmonellosis. It is necessary to determine the risk factors associated with Salmonella contamination of eggs within the scope of farm to table and environment. The objective of this study was to develop the "National Salmonella Control Program in Laying Hens" and report the prevalence and serotype distribution findings of Salmonella in laying hens and eggs in Turkey. A total of 2122 samples were collected and analysed according to ISO 6579:2002 after the isolation and identification procedures. All Salmonella isolates were serotyped including 726 eggs and 1396 farm specimens from 241 epidemiological units EpUs that were located in 9 different provinces between 2015 and 2017. Salmonella contamination was detected in 14.9% of 241 EpUs. The results indicated that almost half of the flocks have multiple contamination sources. The highest contamination rate was obtained from environmental 11% followed by faeces 7.5% and the lowest was from water samples 1.6% . The overall contamination rate was detected as 7.46% for farms and 3.3% for eggs. As S. Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium are the most frequently seen serotypes all over the world, in Turkey S. Typhimurium was not detected and S. Enteritidis was the 5th most common isolated serotype. According to our results it can be concluded that differences in various countries, particularly geographical and egg hatching systems, may affect the contamination rate and serotype distribution of Salmonella.

Cadmium Cd is a toxic metal regarded as an environmental pollutant. The potential ameliorative effect of simultaneous addition of Se and Zn to broilers against Cd toxicity was examined. A total of 180 as-hatched broilers were used. There were 4 replicate pens of 3 dietary treatments: T1, T2, and T3. In T1, Se, Cd, and Zn were added to a basal diet at 0.3, 0, and 100 ppm, in T2 at 0.3, 50, and 150 ppm, and in T3 at 0.5, 50, and 150 ppm respectively. Selenium, Cd, Ca, Co, Cu, Fe, Li, Mg, Mn, Sb, As, Cr, Pb, Mo, Ni, V, and Zn were determined in breast samples using ICP-MS. Simultaneous addition of Se and Zn to broilers partly ameliorated the negative effects of Cd. The concentrations of Cd, As, and V in breast were significantly affected by the treatments while the concentration of other examined elements remained unaffected.

Trypanosoma evansi is a blood parasite protozoan that causes trypanosomiasis or surra in a variety of economically valued animals such as cattle and camels. This infection causes abortion in camels. The present study was conducted to evaluate the presence of Trypanosoma evansi in aborted fetuses of Iranian camels Camelus dromedarius by polymerase chain reaction PCR method. In this study, 244 abomasal contents of aborted fetuses were collected from an Iranian camel herd in the east of Iran. The results showed that 41 of 244 16.8% aborted fetuses were infected with Trypanosoma evansi DNA. The results showed that a high percentage of abortions in Iranian camel herds were due to Trypanosoma evansi infection. There was a significant difference in positive Trypanosoma evansi DNA in aborted fetuses between sampling locations P < 0.05 .

This study aimed to investigate the treatment outcomes of topical application of boric acid, boron-doped gel, and ozonated olive oil in cases of Microsporum canis -induced dermatophytosis. Furthermore, the outcomes were compared to those of terbinafine administration. We included 39 female Wistar albino rats weighing 200-250 g and created an M. canis-infected area on the skin of their backs. The rats were clinically scored on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 and underwent histopathological evaluation. All the treated groups demonstrated significantly lower clinical scores than the control group P < 0.05 . Fewer inflammation cells were observed in the samples of groups treated with 3% boric acid and sodium pentaborate pentahydrate gel than in those of the control group. According to the histopathological evaluation, the groups treated with 3% boric acid and sodium pentaborate pentahydrate gel were statistically different from the control and other treatment groups P < 0.05 . Our results indicated that treatment with 3% boric acid and sodium pentaborate gel was adequate in resolving M. canis -induced infection in rats. Therefore, gels containing 3% boric acid and sodium pentaborate pentahydrate may be alternatives to antifungal agents such as terbinafine by ensuring easy, reliable, inexpensive, and effective treatment modalities.

A study was conducted to evaluate the changes in serum biochemical and lipid profile, and fatty acid composition of breast meat of broiler chickens fed supplemental grape seed extract GSE . A total of 240 1-day-old male broiler chickens were randomly allocated to 4 groups, each consisting of 4 replicate pens having 15 birds/replicate pen. One group served as control group fed basal diets and other groups received 100, 200, and 400 ppm GSE supplemented to the basal diets. Liver weight was greater in broilers fed 200 ppm GSE compared to the other groups P = 0.004, L = 0.024, C = 0.010 . Serum AST and ALT levels decreased P < 0.001 whereas ALP levels increased with increasing dietary GSE levels P < 0.001 . Serum albumin and total protein levels were lower in control in comparison with other groups P < 0.001 . Serum cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL levels declined P < 0.001 while HDL levels increased with increasing supplemental GSE levels P < 0.001 . MUFA levels were greater in breast meat of broiler chickens fed diets supplemented with 100 ppm GSE. On the other hand, PUFA including n-3 and n-6 were greater in broiler chickens fed control diets or 400 ppm GSE supplemented diets. In general, essential fatty acids such as α-linolenic acid n-3 C18:3 , arachidonic acid n-6 C20:4 , eicosapentaenoic acid n-3 C20:5 , and docosahexaenoic acid n-3 C22:6 were greater in breast meat of broiler chickens fed supplemental GSE 100, 200, or 400 ppm while overall UFA concentration in breast meat remained unaffected. In conclusion, findings of this study suggest that dietary supplementation of up to 400 ppm GSE in broilers may improve serum biochemical and lipid profile. It may also improve the fatty acid composition of breast meat to varying extent despite no effect on overall UFA concentration.

A total of 240 1-day-old male broiler chickens were randomly allocated to 4 groups, each consisting of 4 replicate pens having 15 birds/replicate pen. One group served as control group fed basal diets and other groups received 100, 200, and 400 ppm GSE supplemented to the basal diets. Liver weight was greater in broilers fed 200 ppm GSE compared to the other groups P = 0.004, L = 0.024, C = 0.010 . Serum AST and ALT levels decreased P < 0.001 whereas ALP levels increased with increasing dietary GSE levels P < 0.001 . Serum albumin and total protein levels were lower in control in comparison with other groups P < 0.001 . Serum cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL levels declined P < 0.001 while HDL levels increased with increasing supplemental GSE levels P < 0.001 .
