Bu durum, Tarimsal Arastirma-Gelistirme (ARGE) alaninin bir bolumu olan Zootekni Alani’na da yansimistir. Bu baglamda sigir turunun gerek desteklemeler, gerekse AR-GE etkinliklerinde gerektiginden daha yuksek duzeyde one cikarildigi gozlemlenmektedir (kaldi ki, burada da desteklemelerin agirlikli olarak dev sigircilik isletmelerine yoneltildigi, kucuk ve orta olcekli isletmelerin ihmal edildigi bilinmektedir). Butun bunlarin sonucu olarak koyunda verimlilik artirilamadigi icin koyun sayisinin azalmasiyla kirmizi et ve koyun sutu uretimi ile deri sayisinda onemli dususler yasanmaktadir. Ulusal bilim ve teknoloji politikalari baglaminda Zootekni Alanindaki Ar-Ge etkinliklerinde koyunculuga onem verilmesi kacinilmaz bir zorunluluk olarak ortadadir

The aim of the present study is to determine milk yield characteristics of Kıvırcık ewes in extensive conditions of rural farms at Eşme district of Uşak province. Milk yield characteristics of the breed were obtained using test day milk records of 227 ewes in four farms. Test-day milk yields recorded at 14 days interval starting 15 days after lambing until the ewes dried off. Means for average daily milk yield, the length of lactation and lactation milk yield were 656.8 g, 162.4 day and 107.6 kg, respectively. Lactation milk yield of ewes are ranged between 31.4 and 262.8 kg. It points to the presence of high variation in this population. Means obtained for farms in terms of daily milk yield, the length of lactation and lactation milk yield were show us statistically significant differences. Results indicated that milk yield performances of Kıvırcık ewes is remarkable and t...

As the genetic parameters of the traits interested are important for breeding programs, the estimation of these parameters was aimed at the present investigation. The estimated parameters were direct and maternal heritability as well as genetic correlations between the studied traits. The traits were backfat thickness (BFT), skin+backfat thickness (SBFT), eye muscle depth (MD) and live weights at the day of scanning (LW). The breed investigated was Kivircik, which has a high quality of meat. Six different multi-trait animal models were fitted to determine the most suitable model for the data using Bayesian approach. Based on deviance information criterion, a model that includes direct additive genetic effects, maternal additive genetic effects, direct maternal genetic covariance and maternal permanent environmental effects revealed to be the most a...

Cinsiyet, doğum tipi, ana yaşı, yıl, kuzu doğum ağırlığı ve kuzu yaşı gibi kimi sistematik çevre etmenlerinin etkileri incelenmiştir. Karakaş kuzularının düzeltilmiş ortalama canlı ağırlıkları ve kan glikoz düzeyleri 1992 yılı için sırasıyla 31.95 kg ve 51.17 mg/di, 1993 yılı için 33.42 kg ve 71.39 mg/dl, koyunlarda aynı değerler sırasıyla 56.72 kg, 48.85 mg/dI ve 51.05 kg, 45.89 mg/dl olarak bulunmuştur. Düzeltilmiş değerlere göre kuzuların kan glikoz düzeyi ile kuzu canlı ağırlığı, ana canlı ağırlığı ve ana kan glikoz düzeyi arasında negatif ve güçlü ilişkilerin (sırasıyla,-0.6,-0.65,-0.65) var olduğu belirlenmiştir. i Sonuç olarak bu araştırmada kuzuların gelişme özelliklerinin tanımında dolaylı fizyolojik bir ölçüt olarak kan glikoz düzeylerinin kullanılabileceğine ilişkin bilgiler ortaya konmuştur.

Following this decision, the arguments on Turkish membership has become a priority for Turkey since Turkey's accession to the EU would have considerable impacts on Turkey and the EU. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the potential economic impacts of Turkish membership to the European Union. Since much of the support and tariff protection in EU markets is associated with agriculture and food production, the study focuses principally on these sectors. In this context, to derive estimates of Turkey's accession a multiregional computable general equilibrium (CGE) model framework is employed. Using the standard Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model and version 6 database, the paper looks into the impacts of the accession, sectoral reallocations and the welfare effects.

A total of 105 alleles were observed in this study. The estimated observed heterozygosities (Ho) were between 0.541 and 0.841 and expected heterozygosities (He) were between 0.699 and 0.831. Probability of exclusion (PE) for each locus and probability of exclusion for increasing combinations (CPE) of the 10 loci were calculated. PE for each locus were between 0.295 and 0.514, CPE of the 10 loci were between 0.363 and 0.994. Matching probability (MP) (between 0.054 and 0.154) and power of discrimination (PD) (between 0.85 and 0.94) were also calculated. These results can also be used as a reference for the other sheep population in Turkey.

The number of alleles per microsatellite marker ranged from 7 (OarCP34) to 17 (OarFCB193), with an average of 11.5 alleles per locus. Total number of alleles for the investigated 10 microsatellite markers was found to be 104, 72 and 45 for ADÜ-ÇÇKP, EA and MV fl ocks, respectively. The considerable diff erence in the allele numbers of the fl ocks indicates high genetic variability in the ADÜ-ÇÇKP fl ock versus the other two breeders' fl ocks. The observed alleles have diff erent size from other shows the existence of private alleles for fl ocks. According to the polymorphism information content (PIC) values, the highest and lowest polymorphism was detected to be 0.875 and 0.699 for OarFCB193 and OarFCB304 markers, respectively. The mean expected heterozygosity (He) and the mean observed heterozygosity (Ho) for the whole Çine Çaparı population under conservation were 0.727 and 0.789, respectively. The highest genetic similarity (0.8262) was observed between the ADU-ÇÇKP conservation fl ock and Erdoğan Aktürk's fl ock. The results obtained in the present study will help to interpret the genetic structure of indigenous Çine Çaparı sheep and will be of benefit to the eff orts for conservation of this breed.

It was found that allele M of Calpastatin locus was the most common allele. MM, MN and NN genotype frequencies were 72.91%, 22.66% and 4.43%, respectively. This SNP was associated with backfat thickness and skin+backfat thickness values of loin eye muscle (Musculus longissimus thoracis et lumborum-MLD) and average daily gain (P<0.05). Live weight, average daily gain, backfat thickness and skin+backfat thickness mean values were found to be lower in animals with NN genotype when compared to those with MM and MN genotype. The results showed that Calpastatin gene affected back fat and skin+backfat and that they had less fatty carcass than those with NN genotype.

It was found that allele M of Calpastatin locus was the most common allele. MM, MN and NN genotype frequencies were 72.91%, 22.66% and 4.43%, respectively. This SNP was associated with backfat thickness and skin+backfat thickness values of loin eye muscle (Musculus longissimus thoracis et lumborum-MLD) and average daily gain (P<0.05). Live weight, average daily gain, backfat thickness and skin+backfat thickness mean values were found to be lower in animals with NN genotype when compared to those with MM and MN genotype. The results showed that Calpastatin gene affected back fat and skin+backfat and that they had less fatty carcass than those with NN genotype.
