DOI : 10.26650/actavet.2019.18020 The purpose of this study was to find the disease and mortality incidences of calves born from pregnant Brown Swiss and Simmental heifers imported from Austria in newly established dairy cattle farm in Manisa province and determine the effect of breed, sex, calving type and calving position on calf health. The study material consisted of the 180-days health records of 62 Brown Swiss and 266 Simmental calves born alive from the pregnant Brown Swiss and Simmental heifers imported from Innsbruck Austria. The first calving of heifers was between June and December. Calves’ mortality rates in 180-days period were 3.23% for Brown Swiss and 4.89% for Simmentals; 5.39% for males and 3.73% for females; 3.14% for assisted born, 9.38% for difficult born and 3.81% for spontaneous born calves. Calves’ most common health problems were digestion, respiratory and foot diseases. It was found that calving position had a significant effect on digestion problems and dystocia complications. Treatment was more successful in Brown Swiss, female, twin and spontaneous born calves. Cite this article as : Kucuk Baykan, Z., Ozcan, M., 2019.

DOI : 10.26650/actavet.2019.18001 The thyroid is an important endocrine gland that affects many organs of the body. A limited number of works have been done on the morphological and histological characteristics of this gland in the camel and controversial debates have been made on the presence of parafollicular cells. The aim of this study is to investigate the histological structure of the thyroid in the camel and determine the presence of parafollicular cells in this gland. This study was performed on 20 camels. The histological structure of the thyroid was studied using light microscope after preparing sections and staining it with Hematoxylin & Eosin, Verhoeff, and Toluidine blue. Thyroid gland has follicles of different sizes, follicular and parafollicular cells, and according to our results these cells are forming about 59.1% and 5% of the gland volume respectively. The large follicles are located in the peripheral part of the gland while the small follicles are seen in the central part of the gland. The central parts of the gland have a more extensive vascular bed than the peripheral parts. This study revealed that the thyroid gland in camel has parafollicular cells, but most of them are present in the central part of the gland. Cite this article as : Ahmadpanahi, S.J., 2019.

DOI : 10.26650/actavet.2019.19005 A total of 120 laying hens (57 weeks old) were randomly assigned to 5 groups and lemon juice (LJ) was daily added to drinking water (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2.5%,5%) during 4 weeks. Egg production increased (p<0.05) in 1% and 2.5% LJ groups. The LJ had no effect on feed and water intake, live weight, feed conversion ratio, egg mass and weight. Haugh unit increased in 1% LJ group and egg yolk color was lighter in 5% LJ group (p<0.05). The LJ had no effect on eggshell thickness, albumin and yolk index. Serum HDL levels increased and Total Antioxidant Status decreased in 0.5% LJ group (p<0.05). The LJ juice had no effect on serum AST, ALT, LDL, Cholesterol, Glucose, Total Protein, IgG levels and Oxidant Status. Blood lymphocyte decreased (p<0.05) in 2.5% LJ over control, however, red blood cell numbers (p<0.01) increased in 1% LJ group. The LJ had no effect on other hematology parameters. In conclusion, the water supplementation of LJ showed positive effects on production without adverse effects on egg quality traits and health of late-phase laying hens. However, the positive responses may be more relevant to acidity of water. Cite this article as : Gultepe, E.E., Iqbal, A., Cetingul, I.S., Uyarlar, C., Ozcinar, U., Bayram, I., 2019.

DOI : 10.26650/actavet.2019.412319 This study was conducted to assess the effect of dietary inclusions of Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) and Psidium guajava (P. guajava) diets on the growth performance of Clarias gariepinus (C. gariepinus). Seven treatments were administered to 420 C. gariepinus juveniles. They were: Control (Basal diet of 42% crude protein), L. plantarum (LPc) (cell/1000 mL) at 40, 60, 80 and P. guajava leaf meal (PGLM) (g/1000g) at 40, 60 and 80 per kg of feed. Body Weight Gain (BWG) (g), Specific Growth Rate (SGR) (g/day), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Survival Rate (SR) (%), Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) and Nitrogen Metabolism (NM) were evaluated. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA at p 0.05) was observed in feed conversion ratio across all treatments. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) observed in the survival rate between control (93.80±4.98)% and 80 PGLM (96.77±4.09)%. No significance difference (p>0.05) was observed in protein efficiency ratio between control (1.01±0.36) and 60 PGLM (0.95±0.36). There was no significant difference (p>0.05) observed in nitrogen metabolism across all treatment groups. Hence, the inclusion level of 40 cells/1000 mL of L. plantarum fortified diet in cultured juvenile C. gariepinus was observed to have a better growth enhancing performance and nutrient utilization than P. guajava leaf meal at 40g/1000g.

DOI : 10.26650/actavet.2019.434600 Studying the effect of general anaesthesia on blood parameters is extremely important both in terms of patient safety and determining protocol suitability for the patient. There is no study on the assessment of the effects of Diazepam/Propofol and Diazepam/Remifentanil combination administered to dogs on clotting time, thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), active partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and buccal mucosa bleeding time (BMBT). The purpose of the study presented is to investigate the effects of Diazepam/Propofol and Diazepam/Remifentanil combinations on coagulation parameters in dogs aged 5 years and older, requiring surgery for various reasons. Prior to anaesthesia (T0), it was found that there was no difference between the two groups in terms of PT, TT, aPTT and BMBT (p=0.426 p=0.091, p=0.166, p=0.686, p=0.209, respectively). Following anaesthesia (T1), it was found that the buccal mucosal bleeding time in dogs in the Diazepam/Remifentanil group had a tendency to be shorter (p=0.084) than those in the Diazepam/Propofol group. Also, PT in the Diazepam/Remifentanil group was longer (p=0.031) compared to the Diazepam/Propofol group. No significant difference was found between the groups with respect to clotting time, TT or aPTT (p=0.191, p=0.467, p=0.972). While it is stated that neuroleptanalgesia produces reliable anaesthesia induction in unwell patients, based on the data obtained at the end of the study, it was determined that Diazepam/Propofol combination is more reliable in the anaesthesia of patients requiring surgical intervention.

DOI : 10.26650/actavet.2019.410573 Equine spinal lesions are a common occurrence. These lesions are often caused by excessive use of certain spinal regions resulting in tissue injury that releases K+, Na+, and Ca++ ions, in addition to allogenic substances that are present during inflammation. Several therapies are available for treating spinal lesions, including acupuncture which has been highlighted as a safe and positive technique. Of the techniques developed in Japan, ionic pumping may be a suitable co-adjuvant to the dry needling technique, offering the benefit of being less invasive. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the action of dry acupuncture and ionic pumping by diode wire in horses with vertebral column inflammation. Twenty-three sports horses with inflammatory changes in the thoracic spine region were evaluated. This study confirmed that both the ionic pumping technique by diode wire as well as dry needling were adequate in regulating the homeostasis of the studied region. After one week of dry acupuncture (p=0.0006) and ionic pumping, the local temperature of the injury reduced significantly, allowing the inflammatory state to subside from moderate to mild to absent (p=0.001).

DOI : 10.26650/actavet.2019.398037 The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the combination of uterine lavage and oxytocin administration before and after breeding during post-partum first estrus on the pregnancy rates of mares. Thirty mares whose fetal membranes were released within the first 3 h after parturition were divided into three groups - the control (n=10), pre-breeding (n=10) and post-breeding treatment group (n=10). The uterine lavage was performed 4 h before breeding in the pre-breeding group and 4 h after breeding in the post-breeding group. The oxytocin administration was performed twice in both treatment groups intravenously - immediately after and 12 h after the uterine lavage. A sterile NaCl solution (0.9%) was administrated intravenously in the control group. In the control group there was a longer interval between parturition and first ovulation (14.6 days) compared to treatment groups (p<0.05). The pregnancy rates in the control; pre-breeding and post-breeding treatment groups were calculated as 40%, 40%, and 60%, respectively. Although early embryonic loss was not observed in both the pre- and post-breeding treatment groups, this ratio was 25% for the control group. As a conclusion, the administration of a uterine lavage (1 liter of sterile 0.9% NaCl solution +4.000.000 IU crystallized penicillin +4g streptomycin sulfate) and 20 IU oxytocin 4 h before or after breeding mares at their first postpartum ovulation shortens the day interval between parturition and ovulation. It can be assumed that breeding during foal heat can be effective in reducing uterine involution, inflammatory reactions related to breeding and embryonic death.

DOI : 10.26650/actavet.2019.18013 Safe anaesthesia requires careful monitoring and good knowledge of the effects of various anaesthetic drugs on different organ systems. The safest approach in the anaesthesia of critical patients is to select drugs whose effects are easily reversible and to take great care with the dosage. Deaths occurring in the perioperative period are generally caused due to preexisting diseases, anaesthesic drugs, surgical interventions, or a combination of these factors. Prolonged surgical interventions, hypothermia, fluid loss, and excessive fluid intake are also factors that increase patient deaths. When anaesthetizing an unwell patient, individual requirements are evaluated. Therefore, it is not possible to present a single overall anaesthesia protocol applicable to all patients. There is a series of principles for the administration of anaesthesia to high-risk patients. This review discusses anesthesia administrations required for both diagnostic and surgical interventions in trauma patients and unwell patients. The risk factors and the various complications that may be encountered by clinicians while performing sedation and anaesthesia in such patients and their treatment methods have been explained in detail.

DOI : 10.26650/actavet.2019.18014 The present study was carried out to determine Anaplasma species and potential risk factors associated with molecular prevalence of Anaplasma spp. among dairy cattle in southwest of Iran. A total of 88 samples out of 200 generated an expected amplicon of 866 bp from Anaplasma marginale msp4 gene. Six samples that were identified as A. marginale gave also positive results for A. phagocytophilum 16S rRNA gene with specific nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR). The multivariate analysis of risk factors revealed that the cattle of mountain regions were significantly (p=0.0001) at higher risk as compared to the plain regions. Cattle <1 year age and the latitude 32-33°C were significantly at lower risk (p<0.01). The cattle with low milk yield were significantly (p=0.002) at lower risk. Low hygienic farms were significantly (p=0.011) at higher risk as compared to good and normal hygienic farms. Distance from other farms (<1Km) was another important risk factor which showed significant association with the occurrence of Anaplasma infection (p=0.021). The results of this study can be used in strategic planning for prevention and control of bovine anaplasmosis in dairy cattle in the southwest of Iran.

DOI : 10.26650/actavet.2019.433657 Exotic pet animal ownership is on the rise all over the world. Regardless of being companion animals which are important subjects in veterinary medicine, they also play a role in the transmission of diseases to other animals and human beings. Therefore, veterinarians are expected to have the knowledge and good practice in exotic pet medicine. This survey was performed among small animal practitioners with the aim of identifying their self-evaluation of competency and knowledge about the exotic pet medicine in Istanbul. As a data collection tool, a three-part questionnaire developed by the researchers was used in the current study. The first part of the survey covered demographic variables of respondents; the second part consisted of 6 questions, which examine the self-evaluation of small animal practitioners on competency and knowledge about the exotic pet medicine practice. The third part consisted of 8 Likert type questions about the husbandry, transmission, prevention, diagnosis and therapy of the diseases for the four different exotic pets including fish, turtle, other reptiles and bird. The results showed that approximately 80% of the respondents consider that exotic pet disease is essential regarding veterinary medicine. Thirty-five percent of the veterinarian said that they were not sure about “what is an exotic pet disease” while, 53% of them responded that question, as they did not have any knowledge about the exotic pet diseases. For the 91.4% of the clinics investigated, the exotic animals as a patient were 1-10% or less than 1% of all the patients. It has shown that 42.4%, 32%, 16.9%, and 8.7% of the exotic pets’ species examined were birds, turtles, the other reptiles, and 8.7% fish, respectively. Ninety percent of the veterinarians consider that they did not get enough education about the exotic pet animal practice during their undergraduate study at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Istanbul. It has been determined that more than half of the participants (65%) were considered themselves as having adequate knowledge of the husbandry, transmission, prevention, diagnosis and therapy of the diseases of the birds. However, they did not have enough experience about turtle, other reptiles and fish. As a conclusion, the results indicated the importance of education, specialisation and practice on potential exotic pet species.
