Öğe Dietary fig seeds improve growth performance and antioxidant capacity of quail(South African Journal Of Animal Sciences, 2023) Tufan, T.; Bolacali, M.; Irak, K.; Arslan, C.; Ozcan, C.; Kaplan, O.; Irmak, M.The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the addition of fig seed (FS) as a feed additive in quail rations on growth performance, carcass parameters, and antioxidant status. A total of 2000 one day-old quail chicks were allocated to a control diet (C; n = 400) or diets supplemented with 0.25% (FS0.25; n = 400), 0.50% (FS0.50; n = 400), 0.75% (FS0.75; n = 400), and 1.00% (FS1.00; n = 400) FS. There were five replicates of 80 chicks for each treatment. At the end of the study, the highest body weights and average daily live weight gains were observed in the FS1.00 group, whereas the lowest BW was observed in the control group. There was no statistical difference between the groups in terms of feed consumption, but the feed conversion ratios of all experimental groups were higher than the control group. The addition of FS had a marked effect on slaughter, hot, and cold carcass weights; and leg, chest, and wing weights compared to the control. Addition of FS to the ration increased total protein and albumin levels, whereas it decreased total oxidant status and alkaline phosphatase. Glucose and uric acid values showed a variable trend. As a consequence, it was concluded that the addition of fig seed as a feed additive at 0.50-1.00% of quail rations could be beneficial based on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and blood parameters.Öğe Effect of safflower oil supplementation in quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) diets on growth performance, blood antioxidant status, caecal short-chain fatty acid content, and biomechanical properties of bones(South African Journal Of Animal Sciences, 2024) Kaplan, O.; Durna, O.; Yildiz, G.; Merhan, O.; Onk, K.; Ayasan, T.; Elibol, K. E.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of safflower oil supplementation in quail diets on tibia-femur biomechanical properties. A total of 180 one-day-old quail chicks were randomly divided into three groups, each containing 60 chicks. Each group was randomly divided into six subgroups, each containing 10 chicks. All chicks were fed a diet based on corn and soybean meal. The control group was fed the basal ration and experimental groups were fed the basal ration plus 0.5% and 2% safflower oil. The use of safflower oil in quails did not affect the growth performance parameters. Malondialdehyde, glutathione, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase exhibited a linear response to the addition of safflower. Ceruloplasmin, albumin, total protein, and globulin were not affected by the addition of safflower oil. Acetic acid and SCFA were linearly associated with safflower oil content. There were no statistical differences in propionic, butyric, isobutyric, valeric, isovaleric, isocaproic, and caproic acids and BCFA in quails fed different percentages of safflower oil. Feeding a diet containing safflower content in quails.Öğe Feeding Japanese quail diets supplemented with probiotics and enzymes(South African Journal Of Animal Sciences, 2022) Aydin, O. Durna; Yildiz, G.; Merhan, O.; Ulufer, S.; Onk, K.; Baran, M. S.; Kaplan, O.This study assessed the effects of dietary supplementation with probiotics and enzymes on performance, blood antioxidant capacity, and cecal short-chain fatty acid concentration. Two hundred one -day-old quail chicks were randomly divided into four groups, each containing 50 chicks. All the chicks were fed with a basal diet for 35 days. The control group was fed the basal diet, and the experimental groups were fed the basal diet augmented with a commercial probiotic and enzyme supplement at 0.5 g/kg, 1 g/kg and 2 g/kg. At the end of experiment, initial live weight, final live weight, live weight gain and feed intake were affected significantly by the addition of the supplement. However, the supplement did not influence the feed conversion ratio. Increasing the levels of the probiotic and enzyme supplement Diazyme 256 in the diets caused linear and quadratic responses in malondialdehyde, glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase level. Catalase showed a linear increase with the rise in level of the supplement. However, ceruloplasmin, albumin, total protein and globulin were not affected. Significant linear responses were observed in propionic acid, butyric acid and isocaproic acid with the increasing levels of the supplement. There were no significant differences in acetic acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, caproic acid, branched chain fatty acids, and short chain fatty acid concentrations for quails fed various levels of the supplement. In conclusion, the supplement Diazyme 256 containing probiotics and enzymes could be used in quail diets to improve growth performance, antioxidant capacity and intestinal health.Öğe URINARY EARLY KIDNEY INJURY MOLECULES IN CHILDREN WITH BETA-THALASSEMIA MAJOR(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2014) Sen, V.; Ece, A.; Uluca, I.; Soker, M.; Gunes, A.; Kaplan, O.; Tan, I.[Abstract Not Available]
