The aim of this study is to investigate cytological, microbiological and histopathological findings of the genital tracts in cows with different degree perineal conformation (PC) disorder. Totally, 28 cows brought the slaughterhouse were materials of the study. Information about to age, body weight, reproductive status, number of parturitions, days in milk (DIM) and the reason for slaughtering of the cows was obtained in the anamnesis learned from the owners. Before slaughtering, cows were evaluated in terms of PC and then they were divided into four groups with equal numbers of cows according to PC disorders: group I (GRI) normal; group II (GRII) mild; group III (GRIII) moderate and group IV (GRIV) severe. PC disorders of the cows were graded on a scale in terms of vulvar angle, vulvar length over ischial arch, depth of anus and perineal length. A body condition score (BCS) was also evaluated in the cows. The perineal region and vagina were inspected for vaginal discharge and vaginal mucosal appearance, respectively. Pneumovagina was classified as negative, suspicious and positive. Sterile swab samples were taken from vagina, cervix and uterus for bacteriological culture and identification. For cytological examination, smears were taken from vagina, cervix and uterus. Tissue samples were taken from vagina, cervix and uterus for histopathological examination. Statistically, Pearson's correlation, Fisher's exact tests and regression analysis were performed for all data. Clinically, characters of the vaginal discharge (serous, foamy, mucous, purulent and urine-mixed) and vaginal hyperemia increased in GRIII and GRIV. Microbiologically, as parallel to the PC disorder, E. coli in Enterobacteriaceae family was the most common bacterium in Group III and Group IV. As PC disorder in the groups increased, cytological examination findings were found to be significant, similar to clinical and microbiological examination. However, histopathological examination gave more meaningful results in groups. Statistic results pointed out that difference between the groups in terms of vaginal mucosa color, cervical and uterine microbiology was significant. In conclusion, PC disorder in cows constitutes predisposition for many genital canal diseases that may be the cause of infertility. The presence of genital canal diseases can be suspected in cattle using the PC scale. Therefore, it is appropriate to evaluate the health status of the genital canal with other diagnostic methods (microbiology, cytology and histopathology), especially in cows with PC disorder.

This study was designed to determine the effect of some environmental factors on milk yield and composition in Saanen goats and the effect of CSN3 and AGPAT6 gene polymorphisms on milk production traits. Saanen goats were genotyped for milk traits, and the samples were collected during the lactation, and the milk yield/compositions of each goat were specified. In terms of the CSN3 and AGPAT6 genes, the genotypes were defined by PCR-RFLP. The milk yield (MY), lactation length (LL), protein, fat, total solid (TS), solid not fat (SNF), casein, lactose rates and yields were as follows; 388.9 +/- 17.5 kg, 243 +/- 5.81 days, 3.29 +/- 0.05%, 3.59 +/- 0.07%, 11.60 +/- 0.13%, 8.43 +/- 0.06%, 2.57 +/- 0.04%, 4.31 +/- 0.03%, 11.21 +/- 0.47 kg, 12.79 +/- 0.64 kg, 40.95 +/- 1.82 kg, 29.53 +/- 1.31 kg, 8.82 +/- 0.37 kg, 15.40 +/- 0.74 kg respectively. The determined genotype and allele frequencies of CSN3 and AGPAT6 gene were as follows; FF (%99.20), MF (%0.80), F (0.996), M (0.004); GG (%12), GC (%43.20), CC (%44.80), G (0.336), C (0.664). The impacts of lactation length on all milk yield parameters (protein, fat, TS, SNF, casein, lactose. MY) (P<0.001); the age on all milk yield parameters (P<0.001) and the protein, fat, SNF, casein rates (P<0.05), the TS rate and LL (P<0.01) were found to be significant. The birth type was not found to significantly affect any milk yield parameters. Although Saanen goats showed the variation for the AGPAT6 gene (g.9263C>G), the herd was found to be monomorphic (FF) for the CSN3 gene. The effect of the AGPAT6 gene on milk traits in Saanen goats was determined not to be statistically significant. Environmental factors, such as maternal age and lactation length, were found to significantly affect some milk traits in Saanen goats. So consideration of factors such as maternal age or lactation length could be useful for improving breeding strategies for dairy goats.
Fattening performance and carcass traits of imported simmental bulls at different initial fattening age
(Sivar-soc Italiana Veterinari Animali Reddito, 2020-08-01) Ustuner, Hakan; ÜSTÜNER, HAKAN; Ardicli, Sena; ARDIÇLI, SENA; Arslan, Oznur; Brav, Fahir Cankat; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi; 0000-0003-2758-5945; O-3394-2019; AAG-9127-2021
Fattening performance is one of the most important traits in cattle breeding. These traits are closely associated with adequate initial weights and slaughter endpoints. In this context, the aim of this study was to investigate optimum initial fattening age of imported Simmental young bulls and to provide a detailed analysis of initial fattening age effects on fattening performance and carcass characteristics. Seventy five animals were purchased from a single commercial farm where they had been reared under identical production conditions and were allocated into four groups according to age and live-weight as follows: Group I (4 months of age), Group II (6 months of age), Group III (8 months of age), and Group IV (10 months of age). All animals were housed in semi-open pens and were fed ad libitum with the same appropriate diet for 12 months. The animals were slaughtered in a commercial abattoir according to standard routines and carcass traits including hot and chilled carcass weights, dressing percentage, and chiling loss were determined. Morever, performance traits including total weight gain, feed conversion rate, average daily weight gain, and dry matter intake were estimated. Results revealed that the initial fattening age of bulls showed significant effects on total weight gain and chilled carcass dressing. In this context, Group I was characterized by the highest total weight gain, whereas, Group IV had the highest values for chilled carcass dressing. During early fattening periods, first three periods, average daily weight gain was significantly different among the treatments. This study pointed out that, concerning importation, younger Simmentals with the initial fattening age of four months may be more suitable and profitable for medium-term fattening. The present results may have a potential to influence adequate management practices in Simmental farms, and moreover, the recent strategies for importation of cattle.
