Publication Comparison of some biomechanical properties of tibiotarsus in four different feather color lines of 60-day old female quails(Facta-fundacio Arnco Ciencia Tecnologia Avicolas, 2020-01-01) Süzer, Bayram; SÜZER, BAYRAM; Petek, Metin; PETEK, METİN; Tüfekçi, Kenan; TÜFEKCİ, KENAN; Arıcan, İlker; ARICAN, İLKER; Abdourhamane, Ibrahima Mahamane; Yıldız, Hüsnü; Mühendislik Fakültesi; Anatomi Ana Bilim Dalı; 0000-0002-2687-1221; 0000-0001-5358-1396; 0000-0001-6342-0094; 0000-0001-8789-3101; 0000-0003-2091-0303; GLV-3407-2022; AAG-7076-2021This study aimed to compare some morphological and mechanical measurements of four different color female quails to contribute to the formation of the morphological database.Quails are the smallest farmed avian species which are becoming more important for the poultry industry. They are also used as experimental animals and are valuable birds for researches. Genetic factors are important determinants of bone strength. Thus, skeletal disorders may be reduced by breeding selection in quails. Forty female quails with four different feather colors, including wild, white, yellow, and black, were compared at 60 days of age. Each quail group contained ten individuals. A three-point bending test was performed with a custom-made testing machine designed for low strength materials. No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of body weight. The tibiotarsus weight in wild and black (0,665 +/- 0,055g and 0,687 +/- 0,025g, respectively) was significantly lower than in the others but, the significant highest value was in white quails (0,758 +/- 0,063g) (p=0.001). Significantly shorter tibiotarsus was observed in the black quails (51,286 +/- 1,374mm), while the tibiotarsi of the white and yellow quails were the tallest (53,216 +/- 1,796mm and 53,083 +/- 1,092mm, respectively) (p=0.005). There were no significant differences among the groups in the biomechanical properties of tibiotarsus, except stiffness. Stiffness was the highest in the white quails (109,500 +/- 3,807 N/mm) and the lowest in the black quails (99,000 +/- 9,498 N/mm) (p=0.042). In conclusion, white quails have been observed to have relatively better bone biomechanical properties compared to the other color groups at 60 days of age.Publication Effects of genotype and housing system on some bone biomechanical characteristics in broiler chickens(Ankara Üniversitesi, 2019-04-21) Süzer, Bayram; Tüfekci, Kenan; Arıcan, İlker; Petek, Metin; Abdourhamane, Ibrahima Mahamane; Özbek, Melahat; Yıldız, Hüseyin; SÜZER, BAYRAM; TÜFEKCİ, KENAN; ARICAN, İLKER; PETEK, METİN; Abdourhamane, Ibrahima Mahamane; Özbek, Melahat; YILDIZ, HÜSEYİN; Veteriner Fakültesi; Makina Mühendisliği Bölümü; 0000-0002-2687-1221; 0000-0001-5358-1396; 0000-0001-6342-0094; 0000-0001-8789-3101; AAG-7076-2021; AAA-1366-2021; X-2000-2019; AAG-7518-2021; DNZ-6767-2022; EKQ-7243-2022; FNV-0028-2022The aim of this study was to determine the effects of two genotypes (slow-growing and fast-growing) and three housing systems (deep litter, plastic slat and free-range) on some bone biomechanical properties of broiler chickens and to evaluate the interaction between genotype and housing systems. Broilers from two genotypes were reared at three different housing conditions. Fifteen bones were randomly selected from each housing system in both slow-growing and fast-growing groups, and the experiment was performed on 90 bones in total. To determine bone characteristic and biomechanical traits of tibiotarsi, bones collected from right leg and then weighed, cortical area measurements and three-point bending tests were applied. Both live body weight and carcass weight were significantly affected by genotype and housing systems. There was no interaction between genotype and housing system in terms of bone weight, cortical area, breaking strength, bending strength, and deflection. Also, housing systems had no statistical effect on these parameters. Fast-growing broilers were significantly had heavier tibiotarsi, larger cortical area and higher breaking strength than slow-growing broilers, while bending strength was significantly lower in fast-growing broilers. Deflection was not affected by genotype or by housing system. In conclusion, bone geometry and biomechanical properties were not affected by housing systems but by genotype. Fast-growing broilers had better bone morphology and stronger bones than slow-growing genotype. Therefore, fast-growing genotype can provide positive effects on bone growth and mechanical properties in broilers.Publication Morphometric examination of hind limb and foot bones and fibre type composition of crus region muscles in quail and pigeon(Wiley, 2023-02-12) İşbilir, Fatma; Akkoç, Cansel Güzin Özgüden; Arıcan, İlker; ÖZGÜDEN AKKOÇ, CANSEL GÜZİN; ARICAN, İLKER; Veteriner Fakültesi; Anatomi Ana Bilim Dalı; 0000-0003-0712-0892; 0000-0001-6342-0094; F-2822-2017; AAG-7518-2021In this study, the foot and hind limb bones of pigeons and quails were measured morphometrically. Additionally, microscopic classifications of the muscles affecting the foot and digit joints were made. For the macroscopic inspection, 40 birds were used, including 20 adult quails (10 males, 10 females) and 20 adult pigeons (10 males, 10 females). Diethyl ether was inhaled to anaesthetize the animals. The poultry animals were put under anaesthesia, and radiographic pictures of their left feet were obtained individually. DAP measurements were performed separately from the images taken with the Image J program. Then, they were euthanized by cervical dislocation under diethyl ether anaesthesia. The right legs of the euthanized animals were preserved in a 10% neutral formalin solution for histology procedures just after the legs were dissected from the trunk. Morphometric measurements of bone lengths were made in accordance with the measurement points specified by von den Driesch. After fixation for histological examination, routine tissue follow-up was performed and the tissues were embedded in paraffin. The presence of SO-type I, FG-type IIb and FOG-type IIa in 4-5 mu sections taken from paraffin blocks was demonstrated using the indirect streptavidin-biotin-complex method from immunohistochemical methods. The result of our study was statistically evaluated at p < 0.05 and p < 0.001 levels. The length of the hallux, the articulation point to the TMT and the fibre arrangements in the two flexor group muscles showed that the hind limbs and feet of the pigeons had a more favourable anatomical and histological structure for the perching movement.
