Publication Evaluation of metabolic profiles of saanen goats in the transition period(Hellenic Veterinary Medical Soc, 2020-04-01) Akkaya, F.; Kandemir, C.; Şentürk, S.; Mecitoglu, Z.; MECİTOĞLU, ZAFER; Kasap, S.; Ertunç, S.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi; 0000-0002-2465-9913; 0000-0002-5557-121X; AAH-1677-2021; AAH-5069-2021Healthy Saanen goats (n=30) in periparturient period were used in the present study. Blood samples were collected 21, 14 and 7 days before parturition, at the time of birth and postpartum days 7, 14 and 21. Non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), betahydroxy butyric acid (BHBA), Total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CREA) aspartate amino transferase (AST), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), glucose (GLU), cholesterol (CHOL), triglyceride (TG), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and magnesium (Mg) levels were evaluated. During the study period, NEFA, SDH, CREA levels increased and CHOL and TG levels decreased at time of parturition. When the changes of parameters in prepartum and postpartum period were compared, the concentrations of NEFA, CHOL, GLU, TG, Ca were higher (p <0.001) in prepartum period;however BHBA, Mg, ALB, GGT, AST, TP, P, BUN, SDH and CREA concentrations were detected to be higher (p <0.001) in postpartum period. Metabolic Profile Test based on biochemical parameters evaluated in our study would be beneficial for diagnosis, prevention and control of diseases such as pregnancy toxemia, hypocalcemia, infertility in goats.Publication Evaluation of serum choline along with, some biochemical and clinical parameters in cattle suffering from with botulism(Pakistan Agricultural Scientists Forum, 2021-02-01) Batmaz, Hasan; Mecitoğlu, Zafer; Koç, Cansu; Kaya, Fatih; Topal, Onur; Cansev, Mehmet; BATMAZ, HASAN; MECİTOĞLU, ZAFER; KOÇ, CANSU; KAYA, FATİH; TOPAL, ONUR; CANSEV, MEHMET; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/İç Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Farmakoloji Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0002-6097-5585; 0000-0001-8820-1509; 0000-0002-1933-7354; 0000-0003-2918-5064; M-9071-2019; AAA-4754-2022; IXN-7700-2023; S-8278-2017; HXD-1722-2023; FQB-3477-2022Botulism is a disease of cattle that causes significant impact due to its high mortality rate. The aim of the present study is to evaluate serum choline levels as well as clinical and biochemical parameters of cattle suspected to be suffering from botulism and to compare the results with healthy cattle and also to compare the results of survivors and fatalities. Thirteen botulism suspected and eleven healthy cattle were used. Total protein, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium levels were measured from the sera of botulism and control cattle by colorimetric method using an autoanalyser. Choline levels were analyzed using HPLC. Dysphagia, decreased tongue strength weak anal reflexes, tongue and tail paralysis and locomotion disorders were the main clinical findings observed in suspected botulism cases. Botulinum toxin analysis of ruminal fluid samples were positive in two cattle from one herd. AST, ALT, potassium and choline levels were higher in cattle suffering from suspected botulism cases and choline levels were positively correlated with albumin and total protein levels. Three animals from botulism group survived. Clinical findings were milder, animals were not recumbent and choline levels were lower in survivors. Clinical findings of the three animals that recovered were milder, animals were not recumbent and choline levels were lower in survivors. It was observed that clinical findings such as decreased tongue strength and anal reflexes, dysphagia, tail paralysis, and locomotion disorders are important for diagnosis of botulism In conclusion, cattle with milder clinical signs and lower choline have a higher chance of survival.Publication Immune response of cattle to botulinum type C and D toxoid administered on three occasions(Univ Agriculture, Fac Veterinary Science, 2015-01-01) Mecitoğlu, Zafer; Temizel, Ethem Mutlu; Özyigit, Özgür; Akgül, Gülşah; Kennerman, Engin; MECİTOĞLU, ZAFER; TEMİZEL, ETHEM MUTLU; ÖZYİĞİT, MUSA ÖZGÜR; Akgül, Gülşah; KENNERMAN, ENGİN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Patoloji Anabilim Dalı; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Dahiliye Anabilim Dalı; AAH-1677-2021; ECV-4083-2022; GLP-3036-2022; CBU-1718-2022; FDU-5862-2022The aims of the present study were to investigate the antibody response of cows from an outbreak region to vaccination with a bivalent botulinum toxoid (Type C and D) on three occasions and to investigate the antibody response to vaccination with the botulinum toxoid in the presence of anti-BoNT antibodies. Twenty-two cows from an outbreak region and 10 cows from a farm without a history of botulism were used in this study. Blood samples were collected before each vaccination and three weeks after the third vaccination (days 0, 21, 42 and 63). The level of anti-BoNT/C antibodies steadily increased after each vaccination (0.471 +/- 0.04, 0.566 +/- 0.03 and 0.663 +/- 0.04, respectively); however, the levels of anti-BoNT/ D antibodies were not significantly different after the second and third vaccinations (0.377 +/- 0.03, 0.493 +/- 0.03 and 0.465 +/- 0.03, respectively). Post vaccination antibody responses of animals found positive and negative for anti-BoNT antibodies at the beginning of the study were similar. The results of the present study indicated that vaccination of cattle with botulinum toxoid on three occasions is recommended, particularly in outbreaks that are suspected to be caused by BoNT/C and that presence of naturally acquired antibodies against BoNT did not interfere with post vaccination immune response.Publication Comparing the effect of ammonium molybdate versus ammonium molybdate and menbutone on hepatic functions of sheep with subclinical copper poisoning(Wiley, 2022-09-27) Kaçar, Yiğit; Mecitoğlu, Zafer; Batmaz, Hasan; KAÇAR, YİĞİT; MECİTOĞLU, ZAFER; BATMAZ, HASAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/İç Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı; AAH-4972-2021; FQB-3477-2022; HXD-1722-2023This study aimed to investigate the effect of using menbutone in addition to ammonium molybdate on liver enzymes in sheep naturally poisoned with copper. Merino lambs (n = 30), naturally poisoned with copper and which also had high liver enzyme levels, were divided into two groups, each with 15 lambs. The AM + MEN group received ammonium molybdate and menbutone and the AM group received only ammonium molybdate solution. Both groups received 1.7% ammonium molybdate solution (1 mL per 10 kg body weight [BW]) subcutaneously on 0, 2nd and 4th days of the study. Menbutone (Genabil (R), Boehringer Ingelheim, Germany) was administered intramuscularly at a dose of 10 mg/kg BW on days 0 and 2, in addition to ammonium molybdate in the AM + MEN group. Blood samples were collected on days 0 and 7, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) and creatinine levels were evaluated. Over 7 days, AST levels decreased from 351.04 +/- 63.50 IU/L to 286.40 +/- 55.68 IU/L in the AM group (P > 0.05) and from 425.00 +/- 119.25 IU/L to 240.83 +/- 29.62 IU/L in the AM + MEN group (P <= 0.05). GGT levels decreased from 121.16 +/- 15.88 IU/L to 110.39 +/- 10.13 IU/L in the AM group (P > 0.05) and 124.52 +/- 15.50 to 98.60 +/- 9.08 IU/L in the AM + MEN group (P <= 0.05). Based on these findings, the use of menbutone, in addition to ammonium molybdate, has significantly reduced the level of liver enzymes.
