    The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of starch sources with different degradability rates on chewing activities, milk production and composition of lactating dairy cows. Twelve lactating Holstein cows were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square design and fed with diets containing different rates of corn and wheat. The diets were: 1) 26.20% corn based diet (CBD), 2) 16.10% corn and 7.09% wheat based diet (CWBD), 3) 16.51% wheat and 7.26% corn based diet (WCBD), or 4) 25.88% wheat based diet (WBD). The eating, ruminating and total chewing time were not affected by the treatments and time spent total chewing time ranged from 761 to 801 min/d. Cows fed with CBD higher milk production, fat, protein and lactose yield than did cows fed with WCBD and WBD (P<0.05). The fat, protein, and lactose yield were greater for cows fed CBD than for cows fed WBD due to cows fed CBD produce more milk yield compared with cows fed WBD (P<0.05). The milk fat percentages ranged from 3.89 to 4.18%, protein percentages ranged from 3.38 to 3.52%, and lactose percentages ranged from 4.86 to 4.93%, and were not affected by dietary treatments. These results showed that milk production and milk yield compositions were increased by replacing wheat with ground corn.

    Effects of supplementary nutrition in awassi ewes on sexual behaviors and reproductive traits
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2010) Kara, Çağdaş; Orman, Abdulkadir; Topal, Ersin; Çarkungöz, Ender; Veteriner Fakültesi
    The present study was conducted to improve sexual behavior in Awassi ewes by the nutritional supplement containing multiple nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids and sorbitol. In addition, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of this nutritional supplement on litter size in ewes and birth weight of lambs. Twenty six Awassi ewes (50 ± 3.20 kg), aged 2 to 4 years, and three sexually experienced Awassi rams (90 ± 5.30 kg), aged 3 years, were used. The ewes were sorted by age, body weight and litter size of them in previous years and assigned to one of the two groups (experimental; EG and control; CG). Each group consisted of 13 ewes. The daily ration of the ewes in EG was added 30 g/ewe the nutritional supplement for 5 days before mating period and 5 days during last month of gestation. Despite the fact that there were no statistically differences for sexual behaviors, the number of lambs born, lambing percentage and birth weights of lambs between groups (p > 0.05), our results showed that the combination of nutrients improving animal health and reproduction had a positive effect on embryonic survival, litter size and birth weight.
