MORKARAMAN VE iMROZ KOYUN IRKLARINDA KOÇ-KOYUN KARISIK TRANSPORTUN BAZI REFAH PARAMETRELERi ÜZERINE ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Arastirma, yerli Morkaraman ve Imroz koyun irklannda Ko9-Koyun kansik transportun bazi stres parametreleri iizerine etkilerini tek cinsiyet gruplan ile karsilastirmah olarak incelemek amaci ile yurutulmiistiir. Her bir irktan koyunlar iic transport grubuna aynlmistir: a. Koc grubu (her bir irktan 8 koc), b. Koyun grubu (her bir irktan 8 koyun) ve c. Koc-Koyun karma grup (her bir irktan 4 koc ve 4 koyun). Alti farkli alt grupta yer alan koyunlar ayn ayn olmak iizere 75 dakika siire ile transport edilmis ve sonrasinda 2 saat sure ile dinlendirilmistir. Transport grubunun plazma kortizol, CK, LDH ve glikoz konsantrasyonlan ile n6trofil:lenfosit orani iizerine etkisi onemsiz bulunmustur (P > 0,05). Transport sonrasi 2 saatlik dinlenme siirecinde "yatma", "ayakta durma" ve "yiirume" davranislanmn oranlan ile "iirinasyon" ve "diger hayvanlara toslama" davranislarmin frekanslan bakimmdan transport gruplan arasmda onemli farklihklar oldugu belirlenmistir. K09 grubu, Koyun grubu ve Koc -Koyun karma grup ile kiyaslandiginda daha fazla yatma davranisi ve daha az ayakta durma davranisi sergilemistir (P < 0,01). K09 grubunda "yiirume" davranisi ile gepirilen zaman orani Koc-Koyun karma gruba kiyasla daha diisiik bulunmustur (P < 0,05). Aynca, Koc grubunda "diger hayvanlara toslama" davranisi Koyun grubuna gore daha sik gozlenmistir (P < 0,01). Plazma kortizol diizeyi Morkaraman irkmda transport sonrasi (P < 0,001) ve dinlenme sonrasi (P < 0,01) yapilan o^iimlerde Imroz irkma kiyasla daha yiiksek bulunmustur. Morkaraman irkmda "ayakta durma" davranisi orani (P < 0,01) ve "vokalizasyon" davranisi frekansi (P < 0,001) Imroz irkina gore daha yiiksek gozlenmistir. Sonuc olarak, Morkaraman ve Imroz koyunlarda transport isleminin stres yaniti olusumu ile neticelendigi belirlenmistir.
