Abstract
This study was performed on 80 male 14-day-old Coturnix coturnix japonica breed quails. The quails were divided into 8 groups with 10 animals in each as 1 control and 7 trial groups. While the control group was fed a commercial basal ration, groups 2-8 received, respectively, 2.5 g/kg feed hydrate sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS), 5.0 g/kg feed HSCAS, 10.0 g/kg feed HSCAS, 2.5 ppm aflatoxin (AF B1 78.30%, AF B2 14.60%, AF G1 4.50%, AF G2 2.60%); 2.5 ppm AF with 2.5 g/kg feed HSCAS, 2.5 ppm AF with 5.0 g/kg feed HSCAS, and 2.5 ppm AF with 10.0 g/kg feed HSCAS, respectively, for 21 days. At the end of the trial, blood samples were taken from the animals and triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyrotrophin (TSH) and testosterone levels in the blood were measured. Statistically significant increases were detected in T3 levels in groups 3 and 4 and significant decreases in groups 5 and 6, while there were significant increases in T4 levels in groups 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 and significant decreases in blood testosterone levels in all trial (groups 2 to 8) groups compared to the control (group 1).
Özet
Çal›flma, 80 adet, erkek Coturnix coturnix japonica ›rk›, 14 günlük b›ld›rc›nlar üzerinde gerçeklefltirildi. B›ld›rc›nlar, biri kontrol di¤er yedisi deneme olmak üzere sekiz gruba ayr›ld› ve her bir grupta 10 hayvan bulunduruldu. Kontrol grubuna ticari rasyon verilirken deneme gruplar›ndan Grup 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ve 8’in yemlerine s›ras›yla 2,5 g/kg yem HSCAS; 5,0 g/kg yem HSCAS; 10,0 g/kg yem HSCAS; 2,50 ppm aflatoksin (Af B1 % 78,30, Af B2 % 14,60, Af G1 % 4,50, Af G2 % 2,60); 2,50 ppm AF+2,50 g/kg yem HSCAS; 2,50 ppm AF+5,0 g/kg yem HSCAS; 2,50 ppm AF+10,0 g/kg yem HSCAS kat›ld› ve 21 gün süreyle verildi. Denemenin sonunda, hayvanlardan kan al›nd› ve kanda triiodotronin (T3), tiroksin (T4), tirotropin (TSH) ve testosteron düzeyleri ölçüldü. Sonuçta, kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak, T3 düzeyinde Grup 3 ve 4’de önemli bir art›fl, Grup 5 ve 6’da önemli bir düflüfl; T4 düzeyinde Grup 2, 4, 5, 7 ve 8’de önemli bir art›fl; testosteron düzeyinde bütün deneme gruplar›nda (Grup 2-8) önemli bir düflüfl tespit edildi.
