This research was conducted in Bursa, Marmara region, Turkey, in order to determine grain yield and some morphological traits which affect the silage maize response to different irrigation water amounts. The grains' percentage of crude oil and of crude protein were determined. Field experiments were planned following randomized complete block design with three replications and included six irrigation treatments. Irrigation treatments were created as water levels of pan evaporation (Epan) applied via drip irrigation [1.25 × Epan (I125), 1.00 × Epan (I100), 0.75 × Epan (I75), 0.50 × Epan (I50), 0.25 × Epan (I25) and 0 × Epan (I0)]. The highest value of grain yield was found to be 18,268 kg ha -1 in the I125 treatment, which represents excessive water. A quadratic relationship between grain yield and irrigation water applied was obtained. Deficit irrigation decreased grain yield and yield components except the percentage of crude oil and crude protein of grain, but improved the efficient use of irrigation water. Relationships between the grain yield and each yield component were positively significant. The highest correlation coefficient in the research gave the relationship between grain yield and plant height (r=0.957 ** ). The results revealed that 1.25 × Epan and 1.00 × Epan treatments are preferable for higher yield. The results of this study also suggest that if water is limited, the application of 0.75 × Epan can be recommended as optimal treatment, because the best compromise among yield, yield components, quality and irrigation water use efficiency for maize was achieved with this application.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the anesthetic effects of xylazine-ketamine (XK), xylazine-tiletamine-zolazepam (XTZ) and tiletamine-zolazepam (TZ) using hematological and biochemical parameters in rabbits. A total of 18 rabbits were divided into three equal treatment groups (n = 6). The rabbits in the XK, XTZ, and TZ groups were administered xylazine (5 mg/kg) and ketamine (50 mg/kg), xylazine (5 mg/kg) and TZ (15 mg/kg), and TZ (15 mg/kg), respectively, via the intramuscular route. Following the injection, their reflexes were tested every 5 minutes. Heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature were determined before the injection (0 min) and at 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and 120 min after injecting the anesthetic combinations. Furthermore, hematological and biochemical (alanine transaminase [ALT], aspartate transaminase [AST], alkaline phosphatase [ALP], bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen [BUN], and urea) analyses were also performed before, during, and after anesthesia administration. The duration of anesthesia and loss of reflexes were significantly longer in the XTZ group than in the other groups. However, in the TZ group, reflexes were remained. Respiratory rate and body temperature decreased in all the groups. Moreover, heart rate reduced only in the XK and XTZ groups, and the hematological parameters of all groups were comparable. Serum AST and ALP levels increased in the XTZ group compared to that in the XK and TZ groups, respectively. However, these increases were within the reference limits. The post-anesthesia serum BUN and urea levels significantly increased in the XTZ group (p < 0.05) compared to that in the other groups. Thus, although the XTZ combination provided satisfactory anesthetic effect in rabbits, it may be nephrotoxic. Therefore, its use for anesthesia induction in invasive renal procedures and experimental nephrotoxicity studies is not advisable..

Makale Kodu (Article Code): KVFD-2009-183 ÖzetBu makalede 5 yaşlı Montafon bir inekte karşılaşılan sekum dilatasyon ve dislokasyonunun operatif sağaltımı ve sonuçları sunulmuştur. Ani iştahsızlık, süt veriminde gerileme ve gaita miktarında azalma şikayeti ile kliniğimize getirilen olguda gerekli fiziksel muayenelerin ardından sekum dilatasyonu ve dislokasyonu tanısı konularak operasyona karar verildi. Sekumun, ileo-ceace colic bölgesinde tesbit edilen sekumun dilatasyonu ve torsiyonuna neden olduğu anlaşılan fitobezoar uzaklaştırıldı. Gerekli postopertif bakım yapılarak hayvan 20 gün izlendi ve herhangi bir komplikasyon şekillenmeksizin hayvanın iyileştiği gözlendi.. Anahtar sözcükler: İnek, Sekum dilatasyonu, Sekum dislokasyonu Cecal Dilatation and Dislocation in a Montafon Cow SummaryIn this study, operative treatment and results was presented a 5-year-old Montafon cow with cecal dilatation and dislocation. The case was made clinical examination which brought to our clinics with complain of sudden onset of anorexia, a reduction of milk and failure to pass feces. After clinical examination of animal were decided in the operation. Determined the phytobezoar of bowel in the ceacum ileo-ceace-coloc area which accepted to cause of cecal dilatation and dislocation was removed. For a period of 20 days of postoperative follow-up in animal were observed any of the complications and getting better. Keywords: Cow, Cecal dilatation, Cecal dislocation GİRİŞSekumun, dilatasyon ve dislokasyonu; sütçü inek lerde gözlenen, önemli verim kayıplarına neden olan ve sağaltılmaması halinde öldürücü olan bir patolojik barsak bozukluğudur. Sekal dilatasyon, organın bükül meden gerginliğini tanımlar. Sekumun apeksi, kaudal yöne doğru seyreder ve oradan pelvis boşluğu içine yönelir. Sekumun, uzun aksisi boyunca rotasyon sap tanması halinde sekal torsiyon söz konusudur
