The investigation of SNP in SOCS2 gene and its effect on milk yield, fat, protein, and somatic cell count in Awassi ewes.

Background: Livestock farmers face financial losses every year because milk yield and components are severely affected by udder diseases. These udder infections attract the immune response from the host and lead to the influx of neutrophils into milk to fight infection and thus the number of somatic cell count (SCC) is increased. The SCC value of milk could be used as an important indicator in detecting clinical mastitis in dairy animals.

Comparison of machine learning algorithms and multiple linear regression for live weight estimation of Akkaraman lambs.

This study was designed to predict the post-weaning weights of Akkaraman lambs reared on different farms using multiple linear regression and machine learning algorithms. The effect of factors the age of the dam, gender, type of lambing, enterprise, type of flock, birth weight, and weaning weight was analyzed. The data was collected from a total of 25,316 Akkaraman lambs raised at multiple farms in the Çiftlik District of Niğde province.

The survival analysis of some environmental factors associated with lamb mortality in Awassi sheep.

Most of the economic losses in the Turkish sheep industry are due to lamb deaths between birth and weaning period. Survival analysis is an essential step in the understanding of the lamb's survival function and the hazards that have an impact on mortality. The lamb records were accessed from 2013 to 2019, with the information of 11,523 lambs from birth to weaning at 90 days of age.

The effect of different management systems on milk yield and milk quality in Awassi sheep.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of concentrate-based feeding (CF) and artificial pasture-based grazing (APG) management systems on milk yield, fatty acids, nutritional indices, and milk physicochemical characteristics of Awassi ewes. The research involved 300 heads of Awassi ewes, which were divided into two groups. Awassi sheep were managed in a CF and APG system to test the milk yield characteristics.

Effects of different gas phases and gas bubbles on the nucleation kinetics.

In this study, the effects of different gas phases and gas bubbles on the Induction time were investigated. In the first step, the effects of different kinds of gases (N(2), Ar, dry air-N(2) and dry air-Ar) which are fed into solution-gas interphase and into the solution were determined. After determining the most effective gas upon the Induction time, the next step was to use this gas in the presence of the seed crystals, to specify variation in the Induction time.
