The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of chicken transport time and lair before slaughtering on the quality of locally meat and luncheon. One hundred and fifty chickens were tested and submitted to thirteen-hour preslaughter fasting periods in average. Deboned breast meat submitted to the following analysis: pH, drip loss (DL), water holding capacity (WHC) and emulsion stability (ES). The results show that 20% of meat considered as pale, soft and exudative (PSE) and the luncheon prepared with local meat have good properties.
This report is a case of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) witch observed in a tourist woman in Istanbul. The patient presented with chills and abdominal pain. For this blood sample has been collected at the onset of the disease and tested for CCHFV antigen by using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In result, antigen positive has been determined and the patient was found to be positive for CCHFV by ELISA.
The purpose of this study was to determine the specificity and sensitivity of modified serological and molecular tools for the detection of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV). The study was evaluated using 100 samples of known status blood samples (50 positive and 50 negative), blood sera samples were tested to detect antigens of (BVDV) by using (IDEXX, Herd Check BVDV Ag/Serum Plus) ELISA test and real-time PCR assay were modified to detect the RNA of BVDV in fresh blood samples.The presences of antigens of BVDV in sera were detected in all positive samples by ELISA test, and RT-PCR assay could detect RNA in all positive samples. In conclusion, these serological and molecular tools have 100% specificity and sensitivity for diagnosis BVDV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
