The semen was collected by manual abdominal stripping without using any hormones or anesthetizes and its sperms were tested for surviving and activity throw cryopreserving process in liquid Nitrogen using two different extenders (Zhang & Liu vs.  Calcium-free Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution) with methanol in 10% as cryoprotectant for the first

This study was conducted in a private sheep herd at Kurdistan region- Iraq during the period from June/2015 to Augest/2016. A total of 189 ewes and 9 rams were used and aimed to study the effect of some non-genetic factors (age of dam,sex and type of birth, estrous sequences cycle and ewes weights at lambing ) on the birth and weaning weights. The heritability  and the best liear unbiased preduction (BLUP) were estimated. The overall means of the birth and weaning weights were 3.90 and 24.25 kg respectively.The results showed that the birth weight and weaning weight were significantly ( p<0.05) affected by age of dam, sex and type of birth, estrous sequences cycle and ewes weights at lambing. The ewes of age≥5 yeares we

This study was conducted at Erbil plain, Kurdistan region- Iraq during the period from July/2015 to June/2016. The study included 189 Kurdi ewes and 21 rams. The study aimed to estimate the Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) values of sires for daily milk yield and to study the effect of the non-genetic factors (Age of dam, sex and type of birth, estrous sequences cycle and ewes weights at lambing) and to estimate the heritability and repeatability for average daily milk yield. The overall mean of daily milk production was 384.56g. The weight and age of dam showed a significant effect (p<0.05) on the daily milk yield. Ewes aged 5 years recorded a higher Milk yield (433.33gm) compared with

This experiment was conducted at the research farm of the College of Agriculture, University of Duhok, Iraq Kurdistan Region season of 2015-2016. Irrigation treatments include (Rainfed, 50% and 100% of field capacity). with three broad wheat varieties (IPA-95, Abu-Graib and Sham-4) cultivated by application the (AquaCrop) model. Wheat varieties of IPA-95 and Abu-Graib-3 consistently resulted in higher yields than Sham-4 variety, the highest grain yield of 3.872 t. ha^-1 was recorded by IPA-95 variety. Highest grain yield of 3.78 t.ha^-1 was obtained from Total Field Capacity. The biomass varied from 12.162, 12.214 and 13.056, 11.591 and 11.211 to 11.866 t.ha^-1 for measured and simulated values.

The wheat crop consider one of the main important crops in the world, and it is occupied the first order in importance, it is one of the winter grains crop in Iraq, and the Iraqi family cannot leave it because its nutritional gains besides its economic importance. The agricultural policies those follow by the government are influence positively or negatively on the agricultural production; therefore we should focus on evaluating these consequences. The  study aims estimating the demand and supply functions for the wheat crop in Iraq and  analyzing the stability in equilibrium  system of  the demand and supply for the crop during the period (1971-2013), besides evaluating consequences of  the agricultural

This research was aimed shedding light on some indicators that reflect the ability of the society to achieve an adequate degree of food security from the wheat crop. The length of the two periods of production adequacy and coverage of imports for local consumption of wheat and the stability of these periods were estimated. The period of the annual change in the rate of self-sufficiency, the per capita share and the gap between the per capita share and the need for wheat in Iraq for the period 1990-2015was estimated. It was found that the rate of self-sufficiency of the wheat crop was 54%. The annual increase in the period of production adequacy for the domestic consumption of the wheat crop was estimated at 11.5 days, or about 5.

This research aims to study the economic evaluation of meat Broiler projects province of Diyala for 2017 by identifying the economic merit of the production projects of the meat broiler by applying some economic evaluation criteria using questionnaire form. Data were collected randomly from a sample of 40 meat Broiler breeders representing 20.41% of  total 196 poultry fields which established in Diyala Governorate.

The results showed that

The objective of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic effects of exposure to environmental agent's pollutants in many doses data. The experimental data (1.553, 2.190: 1.515, 1.516) respectively, suggest that the DNA damage parameters (Tail length, Tail width l) were found higher value in exposed population when compared with the ratio of the length to width that cells exhibiting no decampment when having a ratio of one. The percentage and distribution of cells in exposed population also Proportional in values. This study demonstrates that, utilizing sensitive techniques, it is possible to detect environmental agent's risks at an early stage.
