    Estrus Detection and Dairy Cow Identification With Cascade Deep Learning for Augmented Reality-Ready Livestock Farming
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023) Arıkan, İ.; Ayav, T.; Seçkin, A.Ç.; Soygazi, F.
    Accurate prediction of the estrus period is crucial for optimizing insemination efficiency and reducing costs in animal husbandry, a vital sector for global food production. Precise estrus period determination is essential to avoid economic losses, such as milk production reductions, delayed calf births, and disqualification from government support. The proposed method integrates estrus period detection with cow identification using augmented reality (AR). It initiates deep learning-based mounting detection, followed by identifying the mounting region of interest (ROI) using YOLOv5. The ROI is then cropped with padding, and cow ID detection is executed using YOLOv5 on the cropped ROI. The system subsequently records the identified cow IDs. The proposed system accurately detects mounting behavior with 99% accuracy, identifies the ROI where mounting occurs with 98% accuracy, and detects the mounting couple with 94% accuracy. The high success of all operations with the proposed system demonstrates its potential contribution to AR and artificial intelligence applications in livestock farming. © 2023 by the authors.

    Differential Scanning Calorimetry as a Tool To Detect Antibiotic Residues in Ultra High Temperature Whole Milk
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2009) Yıldız, Özge; Ünlütürk, Sevcan
    Detection of penicillin G, ampicillin and tetracycline in ultra high temperature whole milk was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Thermal parameters including the heat of fusion, the evaporation temperature, the heat of evaporation and the melting temperature obtained from DSC analysis were used to characterise thermal behaviour of antibiotic free milk samples and milk samples fortified with Penicillin G, Ampicillin and Tetracycline. DSC curves of these antibiotics at selected concentrations (0, 2, 4, 8 ppb for Penicillin G and Ampicillin; 0, 100, 250, 500 ppb for Tetracycline) show big endothermic peaks in the temperature range of -30 °C and 200 °C. It was concluded that the antibiotic concentration had a significant effect on the thermal parameters at a 95% confidence level. The differences between the melting temperatures and the peak areas in heat flow curves provided a basis for detection of antibiotic residues in UHT whole milk.

    Prolactin Receptor Gene Expression in Rat Splenocytes and Thymocytes From Birth To Adulthood
    (Elsevier Ltd., 1996) Güneş, Hatice; Mastro, Andrea M.
    In vivo and in vitro studies have indicated that the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin (PRL) is an immunoregulator and functions in the development of the neonatal immune system. In this study, prolactin receptor (PRL-R) expression from birth to adulthood as well as the effect of milk ingestion on the PRL-R expression were examined in splenocytes and thymocytes of neonatal rats. Three approaches were taken to measure PRL-R expression: (i) polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR); (ii) antibody to PRL-R and Western blotting; (iii) antibody to PRL-R and flow cytometry. RT-PCR analysis revealed the short and long form of PRL-R mRNA in both spleen and thymus at every age tested. However, the long form of PRL-R mRNA was always more abundant than that of the short form. In addition, antipeptide antibody against the long form of PRL-R recognized 84 and 42 kD proteins in the spleen, but only the 84 kD protein in the thymus. A monoclonal antibody U6 recognized 38 and 40 kD proteins in both the spleen and thymus. Although the mRNA level of PRL-R was relatively low at birth and increased with age in both the spleen and thymus, the levels of protein bands detected with both antibodies correlated with development in the spleen; whereas the levels remained steady in the thymus. Therefore, we concluded that the expression of PRL-R at the protein level is developmentally regulated in the spleen but not in the thymus. Finally, milk ingestion in the first seven hours decreased the percentage of cells expressing cell surface PRL-R, suggesting that milk-borne PRL may have a direct effect on lymphocytes.
