Soil Sample Analysis of Contaminated Animal Burial Sites.

Environmental contamination with spores poses clear threats to livestock that play key roles in the economies of pastoral communities. Regular monitoring of contaminated sites is particularly important in anthrax-endemic parts of the world, such as Kars province in eastern Türkiye, where the Veterinary Microbiology Department of Kafkas University has conducted an anthrax surveillance programme for over 30 years. We reviewed the microbiological results of 232 soil samples collected during 2009-2023, from sites known to be contaminated with spores following burial or butchering of infected animal carcasses.

Comparison of composite resins containing UV light-sensitive chitosan derivatives in stereolithography (SLA)-3D printers.

This study produced composite resins by combining acrylate, chitosan (CH), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCH), hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH), and hydroxyethyl chitosan (HECH) to create materials suitable for use in 3D stereolithography (SLA) printers.

The aim of the present study is to modify the bioglass surface with an amino acid mixture consisting of arginine, aspartic acid, phenylalanine, cysteine, histidine and lysine, to characterize the surface, and to evaluate the performance and biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo.

Exposure assessment of dairy cows to parabens using hair samples analysis.

Parabens (PBs) are used as preservatives in various products. They pollute the environment and penetrate living organisms, showing endocrine disrupting activity. Till now studies on long-term exposure of farm animals to PBs have not been performed.

Deciphering genotype-by-environment interaction of grass pea genotypes under rain-fed conditions and emphasizing the role of monthly rainfall.

Rainfed regions have inconsistent spatial and temporal rainfall. So, these regions could face water deficiency during critical stages of crop growth. In this regard, multi-environment trials could play a key role in introducing stable genotypes with good performance across several rainfed regions.

Survey of tick-borne pathogens in grazing horses in Kyrgyzstan: phylogenetic analysis, genetic diversity, and prevalence of .

Introduction: Tick-borne pathogens (TBP) are an important group of organisms that can affect animals and humans all over the world. Equine piroplasmosis (EP), caused by and , is considered one of the most important tick-borne diseases and can cause significant clinical symptoms and mortality in horses. Moreover, EP plays a restrictive role in international horse traditions and transportation.

Metrisor: A novel diagnostic method for metritis detection in cattle based on machine learning and sensors.

The Metrisor device has been developed using gas sensors for rapid, highly accurate and effective diagnosis of metritis. 513 cattle uteri were collected from abattoirs and swabs were taken for microbiological testing. The Metrisor device was used to measure intrauterine gases.

Physiological and metabolic responses in Kök-Börü horses: Correlations with game outcomes.

Background: The aim of this study was to examine variations in stress, metabolic, and physiological parameters of horses used in the traditional equestrian team sport of Kök-Börü in relation to winning and losing outcomes.

Material And Methods: To accomplish this, blood samples were taken from horses on four different teams who participated in two separate games, both before and after game. These samples were used to measure levels of cortisol, ACTH, beta-endorphin, adrenaline, noradrenaline, triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4) via species-specific commercial ELISA kits.

In vitro and in vivo screening of bacterial species from contaminated soil for heavy metal biotransformation activity.
