Anise (Pimpinella anisum L.), is a plant which has an important place in the economic sense in medicinal and aromatic plants. Such as health, food, cosmetics are among the leading materials in the use of many sectors. The production of plant materials obtained from seeds obtained from enduring and strong lines is facilitated with the increasing number of studies. Therefore, the characteristics of the lines from which the seeds come must be demonstrated. In this study, four different anise line (Spain, Egypt, Syria, Turkey) some characteristics of by seed (figure-size, surface area, projection area, average geometric and arithmetic diameter, sphericity, thousand grain weight, average germination percentage and time) It was investigated. At the same time, the film coating was applied to the seeds and the changes in these properties of the seeds were determined. The data obtained were also examined statistically.

In livestock enterprises, with the developing technology, the use of automation instead of control with manpower has become widespread. With the use of automation, it provides easy and reliable production, healthy product, decrease of labor force, prevention of economic losses, periodic and systematic operation and keeping data record regularly. In this way, it is possible to evaluate all records of animal production in digital environment. Control element (PC, PLC, PIC, Microprocessor, Electronic Cards), Activation Element (Motors, Cylinders, motion elements, etc.), Process (Production, temperature, control, chemical, events, etc.), Adjustment in automation used in animal husbandry Element (Acceleration, Angle, Speed, Flow, Encoders, Force, Load, Price, Pressure, Temperature, Slope, Torsion, Vibration Measurement Elements). Thanks to the intelligent sensors and controllers of these elements, feed and water of animals are recorded from central computers in automation control. In the studies, S7-300 PLC was used to carry out the general operation and collect the data. In addition, SCADA is used for central system supervision and control, data collection and storage, irrigation and feeding, warning and warning for security. In this study, it is aimed to give information about the use of automation in industrial animal husbandry enterprises.

It is very important to develop a new way of treatment for foodstuffs to provide consumers more chances to choose their foods. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of microwave drying conditions on the rehydration process of Algerian truffles. Previously dried truffles, at different microwave power output (350, 500 and 650 Watt) and weights (100 and 150 g) have been utilized to analyses and to model the rehydration kinetics. Among the six used empirical models, Weibull model has been the most fitted model to all the treated samples. Microwave power output and sample weight were found to have an effect on truffles during drying, and consequently on their rehydration capacity. The high samples amount has decreased the effects of microwave drying by decreasing the density of treatment, also, the high-power output has probably reduced the time of evaporation, and thus more preservation to the dried truffles. These results can be taken into consideration for more industrial applications of microwave drying and subsequent rehydration of truffles.

Salgam (Şalgam, shalgam) is our conventional fermented purple carrot beverage. Purple carrot (Daucus carota) is the basic raw material, and other raw materials used in the production are sourdough/ bakers’ yeast, salt (rock), bulgur flour and/or turnip (Brassica rapa L.). There are two fermentations that occur due to microorganisms (lactic-acid bacteria and yeast) that are effective during production; primarily lactic-acid fermentation and ethyl alcohol fermentation. It is very popular in our country, especially southerly cities of Turkey. Although shalgam is mostly produced and consumed in Mersin/İcel, Osmaniye, Hatay-Antakya and Kahramanmaras cities, the most known and loved city is the Adana. Lately, it has begun to be consumed almost every parts of Turkey. In addition, it is sold in the cities where the densities of the Turks in Europe. The aim of this review article is to give information about the production methods of salgam, scientific studies and recent trends, problems related to salgam and solutions.

İnsan sağlığı açısından başlıca hayvansal protein kaynaklarından olan kırmızı etin yeterli miktarda ve düzenli olarak tüketilmesi elzemdir. Türkiye’deki kişi başı kırmızı et tüketimi dünya ortalamasının oldukça altındadır. Bunun temel nedeni olarak sığır eti fiyatlarının yüksekliği ve sürekli bir artış eğiliminde olması gösterilmektedir. Ayrıca bu artış, enflasyon üzerinde de önemli baskı oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sığır eti fiyatlarında izlenen artış eğiliminin enflasyon etkisinden arındırılarak üretici açısından değerlendirilmesi ve üretici düzeyinde et fiyatlarındaki artışa etki eden temel faktörlerin tespit edilerek, fiyatlarda istikrarın sağlanmasına yönelik çözüm önerileri geliştirilmesidir. Bu çerçevede, et fiyatlarındaki artışa neden olduğu düşünülen faktörler tespit edilmiş, girdi maliyetleri, ikame-rakip ürün fiyatları ve hayvancılık desteklerinin cari ve reel seyri analiz edilmiş ve sığır eti tüketici ve üretici fiyatları arasındaki ilişki düzeyi tespit edilmiştir. Analiz neticesinde sığır eti fiyatlarındaki artışın temel olarak, et üretiminin yetersiz olması nedeniyle oluşan talebin karşılanamamasından kaynaklandığı ve süt fiyatları ile sığır eti üretici fiyatları arasında kuvvetli bağlantı bulunduğu saptanmıştır. Buna göre, kırmızı et fiyatlarında istikrarın sağlanması için öncelikli olarak et üretiminin artırılması, buna yönelik olarak etçi tip besi hayvancılığının geliştirilmesi ve besi materyalinin yurtiçinde üretimi ile hayvan varlığının yeterli düzeye çıkarılması, pazarlama zincirinin kısaltılarak denetim altına alınması, hayvancılık politikalarının uzun vadeli ve planlı şekilde belirlenmesi ile et ve süt ilişkisi göz ardı edilmeden doğru ve etkin bir destek mekanizması oluşturulması gerekmektedir.

The study was conducted to determine forage quality criteria of Salvia multicaulis VAHL. species collected from different locations of Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey in 2018. Results of statistical analysis of the study data revealed that there were significant differences among the locations for all of the investigated traits. Additionally, among the locations the investigated traits were changed as following; dry matter content (DM) 88.66-91.58%, crude protein content (CP) 16.47-25.37%, insoluble protein content in acid detergent (ADP) 0.8%-1.10%, acid detergent fiber content (ADF) 22.08-29.54%, neutral detergent fiber content (NDF) 29.71-%43.85%, calcium (Ca) content 1.22-1.82%, phosphor (P) content 0.23-0,40%, Ca:P ratio 3.05-6.87, potassium (K) content 1.20-2.58%, magnesium (Mg) content 0.28-0.46% and K/(Ca+Mg) ratio 0.55-1.44. Results of the study revealed that dry forage of Salvia multicaulis species is both rich in terms of crude protein content and having a high digestibility level and its macro minerals content and K/(Ca+Mg) ratio to be sufficient for animal feeding. However, due to its too high level Ca:P ratio than critical top level (2:1), it is important to be careful against the risk of poisoning of animals when the forages of this species are used in animal feeding. Hence, additional research is required to determine the harmful effect of the species on the livestock health.

Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala are the two Indian major carps and chief components of polyculture system in the local population. Proximate body composition is the analysis of water, fat, protein and ash contents of fish. Values are vary considerably within and between species, size, sexual condition, feeding season and physical activity. The percentage of water is a good indicator of its relative contents of energy, proteins and lipids. Determination of some proximate profiles such as protein content, lipid, ash and other nutrients is often necessary to ensure that they are within the range of dietary requirement and commercial specifications. Based on this background the present study was aimed to evaluate the nutritional value of some major craps (Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala) fishes of Peshawar Carp Hatchery and training centre Sherabad. The proximate composition of Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala samples were determined and data was evaluated statistically by performing t-test through Sigma Plot and graphs were made by using Graph Pad Prism. The average value of crude protein for Cirrhinus mrigala was found higher than Labeo rohita (51.7% and 39.04%) similarly the water contents were also found higher in Cirrhinus mrigala than Labeo rohita (75.88% and 73.95%). The average value of dry matter and muscle fats contents were lowered in Cirrhinus mrigala than Labeo rohita (24.11% and 26.04%) and (13.00% and 13.45%) respectively. However, the ash contents were similar in both of experimental species (23.91% and 23.93%). From these results, it is concluded that both Cirrhinus mrigala than Labeo rohita are very proteineous and have low fats contents so it is very good for the health of consumers. Further research is recommended on the other parameters and miss rays of this work.

This study was carried out to determine the levels of retinol, α-tocopherol, cholecalciferol and reproductive hormones (follicle stimulating hormone - FSH, luteinizing hormone - LH, progesterone, estradiol) in the female rats administrated Allium schoenoprasum L. ethanol extract (ASLEE) and acrylamide. The study was performed on thirty-two Wistar albino female rats (200-220 grams). The rats were divided into 4 groups with an equal number. Serum LH values were higher in the ASLEE group compared to the other groups. Control group: No treatment was performed. Acrylamide group: Acrylamide was administrated by gastric gavage at a dose of 25 mg / kg daily. ASLEE group: ASLEE was administrated by gastric gavage at a dose of 200 mg / kg daily. Acrylamide + ASLEE group: Acrylamide was administrated by gastric gavage at a dose of 25 mg / kg daily. Then ASLEE was administered by gastric gavage at a dose of 200 mg / kg per day. Serum FSH and LH values were significantly lower in the acrylamide group compared to the other groups. Serum LH values in the acrylamide + ASLEE group were significantly restored compared to the acrylamide group. Serum estradiol values were partially lower in the acrylamide group compared to other groups, but there was no significant difference between the groups. Serum progesterone values in the acrylamide group were significantly lower than the control group. Serum progesterone values were higher in the acrylamide + ASLEE group compared to the acrylamide group. As a result, the levels of retinol, α-tocopherol, cholecalciferol and reproductive hormones in ASLEE were determined in this study. In addition, when ASLEE was applied with acrylamide, the rate of change in the relevant parameters was determined.
