In this research, Kilis and Honamli goats are used, which are specific local genetic resources of Turkey. The herds were independent, but they had similar care and nutrition circumstances. From each breed 30 samples were taken, in all 120 samples were collected. Erythrocyte, whole blood and serum samples were used for haemoglobin (Hb), glutathione (GSH) and transferrin (Tf), ceruloplasmin (Cp) analysis, respectively. In the analysis of these samples, Hb and Tf bands were determined by electrophoresis. However, Cp and GSH levels were analyzed by the spectrophotometer. 3 Hb phenotypes (AA, BB, AB) and 6 Tf phenotypes (AA, AB, AC, BB, BC, CC) were determined in this study. In addition, both the observed and the expected values of polymorphic characteristic for 2 characters were presented according to the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE). Cp levels were detected as 0.822 ± 0.055 mg/dl and 1.793 ± 0.109 mg/dl in Kilis and Honamli herds, respectively. Also GSH levels were detected as, 42,486 ± 1,034 mg/dl and 33.515 ± 0.345 mg/dl in these breeds, respectively. On the other hand, the high and low GSH levels (GSHH and GSHh) of herds were presented.

Proteins are the most important organic substances which are part of the composition of living cells. Since the specific capabilities of spermatozoa depend on the protein, occurs the necessity of studying the characteristics of changes of the spectrum of the protein fractions of sperm depending on the ambient temperature. In this experiment was studied the effect of temperature of 45°C on the spectrum of protein fractions of the bull semen. From the data of the conducted research it is observed that when sperm of bull was exposed to a temperature of 45°C for 1 minute, has been a trend of increasing the quantity of albumin up to 4.2% and at 10 minutes - up to 3.3% of the total volume. When exposed to a temperature of 45°C for 1 minute the total amount of globulins, typically does not significantly change. The content of α-globulins tends to decrease, while the β- and γ-globulins do not support the changes. After 10 minutes of stress the amount of albumins is also increasing in comparison with the control sample and the quantity of total globulins decreased, especially α - and γ-globulins, while the content of β-globulin is not changed. Thus, the hyperthermic stress of bull semen for 1 minute is reflected only on the quantity of albumin, which has a tendency to increase. The influence of hyperthermic stress for 10 min is manifested by the tendency of growth of the percentage content of albumin and insignificant decrease in the concentration of total globulins, including α-globulin.

The effectiveness of livestock farming in great extent depends on the efficiency of animal reproduction. Therefore, researches in this direction acquire theoretical and practical significance. Given the fact that in the practice of reproduction of pigs widely was used the method of artificial insemination of sows’ chilled sperm, the purpose of the conducted research was to improve the synthetic mediums through introducing into their composition of the biologically active compounds. As such substance was used L-carnitine. By method of consecutive rows was determined dose-dependent effect of investigated substance included in the base medium on the basis of electrolytes and nonelectrolytes. It was found that after dilution of boar sperm the mobility of spermatozoa and their absolute indicator of survival after 12 hours of storage at hypothermic temperatures (16-18˚C) is increased by a statistically significant amount. It is concluded about protective and stimulating activity of L-carnitine at the dilution and storage of boar semen.

This article presents the results of research, whose purpose was to use alleles AEB-locus of blood groups with individual selection of cattle in animal herds of STE "Maximovca". For individual fixing have been selected 2 bullproducer - Academician 767 and Kiperush 79/395360, which are improvers on a complex of traits with the category А2Б2. Productivity of their mothers was 9331 kg of milk, with fat content 4.90% and 10915 kg of milk with 4,42 percent of fat, respectively. At bull Academician 767 allele of EAB locus - B2O1/G2Y2E'1Q', at bull Kiperush 79 - G2Y2E'1Q'/G". Heifers (mother of the future bulls) belonged to the lines Rozeyf Siteyshna 2671510, Montvik Chifteyna 95679, Pawnee Farm Arlinda Chifa 1427381, of which 47% - marked with allele B2O1, 20,0% - with allele G2Y2E'1Q' 'and 35,4% of the animals are marked with other alleles. Genetic distance between the lines, which include dockable bulls and heifers, is large, thus avoiding a future inbreeding.

Mulberry is a popular medicinal plant belongs to family Moraceae and genus Morus. Genus Morus (Mulberry) is an example that contains more than 150 species, Morusalba L. (White mulberry) is dominant specie among them. The leaves of mulberry are mainly used as food for the silkworms and they are some times eaten as vegetable or used as cattle fodder in different parts of the world. Mulberry leaves contain moisturizer from 71.13 to 76.68%, protein from 4.72 to 9.96%, fat from 0.64 to 1.51% and carbohydrates from 8.01 to 13.42%. While in dried mulberry leaves the moisture content decreases and it ranged from 5.11 to 7.24%, from 15.31 to 30.91% for protein, from 2.09 to 4.93% for fat and from 9.70 to 29.64% for carbohydrates. Also, they are very good source of ascorbic acid, β-carotene, antioxidant components, which includes rutin.

Animal transportation usually causes a weight loss. This surely becomes an economical loss. Animal suspected to be under stress circumstances during the transportation which caused physiological change. Twenty Padjadjaran rams which have average weight between 17 – 26 kg were used in this research. Research was done experimentally using Completely Randomize Design with four levels of electrolyte solution treatment which are P1 (0 mL), P2 (75 mL), P3 (12.5 mL), and P4 (150 mL). Every treatment was added by 25 mg of Roselle extract and replicated five times. Rams were transported for 8 hour using pick-up car with capacity of 20 rams. Observed variables were body weight, and physiological responses which consist of rectal temperature, respiration rate, heart rate, glucose level and blood’s urea. The observation showed that body weight was not significantly different (P>0.05) between treatments. The respiratory rate and heart rate also resulted not significant (P>0.05), although it can be tolerated because rectal temperature was in a normal range. Values of glucose and blood’s urea decreased although it were still not significantly different (P>0.5). In conclusion, the utilization of coconut water-based electrolyte solution with roselle extracts addition can suppress body weight loss without gives any major effect physiologically to the Padjadjaran ram.

In this study, total fatty acid composition and volatile fatty acid of silage species in Turkey was determined by using Gas Chromatography (Shimadzu 15-A). Total lipids were extracted from the corn silage, alfalfa silage and figüre silage samples by the method of Folch et al. Silage species were a total of 15 different fatty acids. These fatty acids between C12 to C24 have changed. Unsaturated fatty acids were the most corn silage. Linoleic acid levels were at the highest levels in alfalfa silage. In this study, unsaturated fatty acid is higher saturated fatty acid. ω6/ω3 ratio is 6. This value is high. In the report of HMSO, it was suggested that the minimum ratio of PUFA/SFA should be 0.45. In this study this value is 2. According to this result, oil of seed of corn silage is healthy.
