Ali RIŞVANLI

Background: Intrauterine mixed infections are an important problem in cattle breeding. In this study, we aimed to determine the mixed bacteriological isolation rates from the uterus of cows with clinical metritis and to reveal the relationships between the bacteria that isolated together.Methods: For this purpose, sterile swabs were taken from 490 uterus obtained from cattle slaughtered due to infertility in three slaughterhouses and used them to perform microbiological tests. After evaluating the data, it was determined that the bacterial isolation rate from uterus with clinical metritis was ...More

Effect of somatic cell count on milk composition and some chemical properties of milk

Ali RIŞVANLI

Subclinical mastitis is a very important disease for dairy cattle farms. As a result of the deterioration of milk quality, it causes economic losses in enterprises. Milk samples of 180 cows were divided into five groups according to the somatic cell count. Some chemical properties and composition were measured in milk samples. The ratio of solid-non-fat, mineral matter, lactose, and protein decreased as the somatic cell count of the milk increased (P < 0.05). No statistical difference was observed between the fat content of milk and the level of somatic cell count (P > 0.05). Although specific ...More

Arsenic Removal by Electrocoagulation

Mehmet KOBYA

Because of the toxic impacts on human health, the arsenic (As) limit value in drinking water was decreased from 50 to 10 μg l −1 by the relevant authorities (WHO 1993; US EPA 2001). In this case, the problem of As pollution in natural water resources used for drinking water has grown even more and turned into a global crisis. According to reports in many parts of the world, over about 230 million people appear to be affected by high arsenic concentrations in groundwater. In this case, it turned out that there was a great need for cost-effective and environmentally friendly technologies from dr ...More

Effects of FSH Administeredin Different Ways on Superovulation Response and Blood FSH Levels in Cows

Ayday CUNUŞOVA

This study aimed to compare three ways of FSH administration [single-dose subcutaneous (sc) using an adjuvant, single-dose epidural without an adjuvant and the conventional intramuscular (i.m) repeated decreasing doses] on blood FSH levels and superovulation response. Holstein cows (n:18) were divided into three groups for the superovulation procedure (n6). The animals in group (1) received intramuscular (im) decreasing doses of FSH (Stimufol, 500 mu g porcine FSH and 100 mu g porcine LH, Ulg FMV, Liege, Belgium) at 12-h intervals for 4 d. The animals in group (2) received FSH (500 mu g) into ...More

Evaluation of the portio vaginalis of the cervix by B-mode and colour Doppler ultrasound in Simmental cattle

Ali RIŞVANLI

This study was aimed to reveal the relationship between the B-mode and colour Doppler ultrasonography features of the portio vaginalis of the cervix in Simmental cattle with different physiological and pathological conditions of genital organs. For this purpose, 90 cattle were used in the study. The length, width and circumference of the portio vaginalis of the cervix were measured ultrasonographically using a 5 MHz linear probe. In addition, the portio vaginalis of the cervix was ultrasonographically evaluated in terms of echogenicity, cystic formations, calcification and integrity of its bor ...More

Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Pulsed Plasma in Liquid: Effect of Surfactants

Emil ÖMÜRZAK

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles were successfully prepared by using the in-liquid pulsed plasma technique. This method is based on a low voltage, pulsed spark discharge in a dielectric liquid. We explore the effect of the protecting ligands, specifically Cetyl Trimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB), Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and Sodium n-Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS), used as surfactant materials to prevent nanoparticle aggregation. The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns of the samples confirm the face-centered cubic crystalline structure of Ag nanoparticles with the presence of Ag2O skin. Scanning Transmission ...More

Biological Activity of Ag and Cu Monometallic Nanoparticles and Ag-Cu Bimetallic Nanocomposites against Plant Pathogens and Seeds

Tinatin DOOLOTKELDİEVA | Saykal BOBUŞOVA

The antibacterial activities of silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles (MNPs and BNPs) against the most economically important and common plant bacterial diseases in Kyrgyzstan were tested, as well as their phytotoxic effects on wheat and corn seeds. To achieve this, a range of Ag and Cu MNPs and BNPs were synthesized using different methods and were tested at different concentrations to compare their biological effects. The antibacterial activities of Ag and Cu MNPs and Ag-Cu BNPs against the plant pathogenic bacteria Erwinia amylovora, Pseudomonas syringae, and ...More

Th1 / Th2 cytokine polarization in milk according to different pathogens causing subclinical mastitis in cows

Ali RIŞVANLI

The aim of this study to determine the Th1/Th2 cytokine balance in milk according to the bacterial species that cause subclinical mastitis in cows. The California Mastitis Test (CMT) was applied to the selected cows. The cows were divided into four groups: cows with negative CMT (n = 45); Escherichia coli (E. coli) group included only cows with E. coli growing in CMT-positive milk samples (n = 45); Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) group included cows with only S. agalactiae growing in CMT-positive milk samples (n = 45); Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) group included cows with only S. ...More
