This study aimed to determine the influence of different doses of β-glucan on post-thaw spermatological parameters, lipid peroxidation, and total antioxidant activity of buck semen. In the non-breeding season, semen was collected from bucks twice weekly. After then, ejaculates were pooled and divided into four equal aliquots: β-glucan concentration...

(1) Background: There is a balance between nutrition, glycemic control, and immune response. Their roles in physiological mechanisms are essential for maintaining life quality. This study aimed to evaluate hawthorn vinegar’s metabolic effects, and describe its possible mechanism. We also pointed out several vinegar production methods to clarify the...

Background: The hawthorn fruit is an interesting medicinal plant that has several biological features, especially related to anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immune-modulating actions, and boosting general health. In this study, we aimed to clarify the immunological effects of hawthorn vinegar on immunity and general health. We also focused on th...

Thirty-two male growing Merino lambs (78 ± 5 days of age) were used in a 45-day randomized complete block desing to determine the effects of rosemary essential oil (REO) on the growth performance, rumen fermentation, rumen protozoa population, plasma antioxidant enzyme parameters and fecal microbiology. The control group was fed a diet consisting o...

The hawthorn fruit, a member of the Rosaceae family, is a medicinal plant with numerous therapeutic properties. It has a wide range of variants, with Crataegus tanacetifolia being the most widely recognized species in the world. The hawthorn fruit has various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, immune-mod...

Pomacea snails have been interested around the world due to their rich biological contents. In this study, we assessed the living condition and feeding strategies of catfish (Loricariidae) with Pomacea maculata. We used thirty catfish and ten P.maculata in three replicates for four months. There were two groups as: Control and P. maculata (catfish...

After the prohibition of antibiotic usage to improve performance, the breeders have guided to natural resources for this purpose. Essential oils have many beneficial effects and they are ideal to use as a growth promoter feed additive in livestock. In our study for this reason, we used oregano essential oil (Origanum onites L.) in the treatment gro...

The study aims to determine and compare bone mechanical and material properties in experimentally diabetic rats treated with ginger extract. Forty female, healthy Wistar albino rats were used in the study. Rats were divided into five groups; Control (C), Sham (S), Ginger (G), Diabetic (D), and Diabetic rats treated with Ginger (DG). Diabetes mellit...

Glukosinolatlar (Gls), Brassica sebzelerinde bulunan ekonomik açıdan önemli olan ikincil bitki metabolitleridir. Glukosinolatlar ve bunların hidroliz ürünleri insanlar ve hayvanlar üzerinde birçok faydalı etkiye sahiptir. Gls, bitki içeriğinde ve bağırsak mikroflorasında bulunan myrosinaz enzimi ile hidrolize edilir ve bu şekilde biyolojik aktivite...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of commercial plant extract mixture added to laying quail rations on performance, egg quality, plasma antioxidant and blood biochemical parameters. In this experiment, 160 Japanese quails aged twelve weeks were equally divided into four groups of 40 (five replicates of 8 quails each). The study included a co...

There are several antioxidant supplements using for reproductivity and life quality, especially herbal ones. Nowadays, herbal antioxidants especially Spirulina platensis has been still interested due to protective role on oxidant antioxidant balance and health. The present study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of different doses of S.platensis on...

Poultry management is associated with light due to positive effects of photoreceptors on animal’s growth, immunity and homeostasis. Colors influence the efficiency of poultry performance and behavior. Light-emitting diode (LED) can use for providing monochromatic light source. In this trial, two hundred Ross 308 broiler chicks were studied in four...

Sulforaphane, a bioactive compound from broccoli and broccoli sprouts, has potentially cancer chemopreventive activity. Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate that is widely consumed vegetables and has a particularly high concentration in broccoli. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) occur in cruciferous vegetables as glucosinolates and are converted to ITCs by myro...

Natural medicines such as formic acid, oxalic acid, thymol and menthol have recently been used as alternative treatments against the honey bee parasitic mite varroa. The aim of this study was to observe and examine their impact on Heat Shock Proteins (HSP 70) in the brain tissues of bees. For this purpose, seven different treatment groups were crea...

The current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with rosemary volatile oil on performance, meat quality and selected plasma antioxidant parameters of quails. A total of 192 1-day-old Pharaoh (Coturnix coturnix Pharaoh) quails, including both males and females, were divided into three groups containing 64 quails an...

The main objectives of our study were to measure the major adipokines adiponectin, leptin and resistin in goat milk, to assess their interrelationships and to assess their relationships with the plasma and serum concentrations of total protein, cholesterol, total lipids, plasma C-reactive protein (CRP), milk somatic cell count (SCC), milk total aer...

Glucosinolates are important bioactive molecules and widely found in Brassicaceae species (cress, brussels sprouts, mustard, broccoli, kale etc.). Depending on the amount of these vegetables consumed, both positive and negative metabolic effects from glucosinolate metabolites may occur. The aim of this study was to investigate inexpensive animal fo...

Obestatin is described as an anorexigenic peptide, and has adverse effects of ghrelin. It has no inhibitory effects on acute/chronic food intake, and it has been reported by several researchers. The role of obestatin in metabolism is still not clear. In the present study, the purpose is to determine the effects of chronically administrated obestati...

Amylin is a recently discovered neuropeptide hormone that belongs to the calcitonin generelated peptide family. It is co-secreted with insulin in response to feed intake. In goat kids, neonatal mortality and morbidity seems to be relatively higher than in other farm species. This high mortality and morbidity in goat kids may be associated with unde...

Volatile oils like rosemary, thyme and fennel oils have positive effects on poultry health and yields. The aim of this study were to investigate the effects of volatile oils on some serum biochemical parameters, growth hormone activities and growth performance in broiler chickens. A total of 180 broilers were randomly divided into 6 groups and 3 re...

Resistin and amylin are metabolic hormones that improve energy homeostasis and insulin resistance in rodents but have not been studied in early lactating goats, which are known to be resistant to insulin.
