The stress responses of mice and rats has been shown to be permanently altered by brief, gentle handling during the first 10 d of life, resulting in increased BW and resistance to stress-induced immunosuppression. The purpose of this study was to determine whether early handling of turkey poults could permanently affect production values and physiology of adult turkeys. Turkey poults were handl...

We investigate tactical level planning problems in float glass manufacturing. Float glass manufacturing is a process that has some unique properties such as uninterruptible production, random yields, partially controllable co-production compositions, complex relationships in sequencing of products, and substitutable products. Furthermore, changeover times and costs are very high, and production...

Buğday, insanlar için en temel besin kaynağıdır. Bu nedenle tüm dünyada buğday üretimi önemsenmekte, üretimine ilişkin iktisadi politikalar üretilmektedir. Buğdayın talep esnekliği düşük olduğundan fiyatları, arz tarafından belirlenmektedir. Buğday arzı, iklim koşullarından da etkilendiği ülkelerin yıldan yıla değişiklik gösterebilmekte ve bu uluslararası ticareti önem kazanmaktadır. Türkiye, p...

The turkey industry's view of the relative economic importance of growth and egg production has changed rapidly, and genetic changes by selection within lines may not be rapid enough to meet the changing needs. The objective of the present study was to determine the feasibility of rapidly increasing the BW of dam lines by repeated backcrossing of a dam line (E) to a commercial sire line (B). Th...

In this study, the energy generation potential of forest residues in Mediterranean Region Turkey are determined by using different gasifier technologies. Gasification is one conventional waste to conversion technologies for production. Syngas, end product gasification process, generally used internal combustion engines, turbines and boilers as a renewable fuel. Energy was estimated up-draft fix...

In addition to inducing egg production, exposure to long days concomitantly activates processes that eventually result in photorefractoriness (PR) and cessation of egg production. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the duration of exposure to long days that result in these processes. In each of 3 experiments, we subjected Large White turkey breeder hens to long days (16 or 18 h per day) for...
