The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of oral administration of hot aqueous extract of beetle cocoon Larinus maculatus Faldermann, in a two doses 50
and100mg/Kg/Bw for 25 and 45days respect- tively on some organs such as liver, lung, kidney, intestine, heart, spleen, and brain in male mice Mus musculus. The results indicated that there were toxicopathological changes in many tissues of experimental animals. Histo -pathological changes was dose and period dependent . It was found that the aqueous extract of beetle cocoon has undesirable effect at the administered doses, since the raw extract of this cocoon is currently being used in Folk medicine as treatment for cough, bronchitis in Iraq. This study revealed that

The aim of the present work is to found out if there are histopathological and enzymatic effects on the heart and liver after oral administration of Citrullus colocynthis (CC) fruit (bitter apple) for mature male rabbits, as a model for mammals. Two experiments were performed for sixty mature male rabbits that equally and randomly divided into six groups each containing five animals .In the two experiments ,independently, three groups in each one were considered as treated groups and represented as T1, T2 and T3 groups .These rabbits groups were orally administrated with low dosage of CC (4.8mg/kg/day,experiment No.1 ) and double dosage of CC extract (9.6mg /kg /day , experiment No2 ) for three intervals 2, 4 and 8 weeks ,respectively. T

A histological study was conducted to examine the structure of optic tectum in Clemmys caspica caspica. The results showed that the optic tectum consist of seven strata and the third stratum consists of three substrata, as follows: The stratum zonula (SZ), the stratum opticum (SO), the stratum griseum et fibrosum superficiale (SGFS) which consist of three substrata are a, b, c, the stratum griseum centrale (SGC), the stratum album centrale (SAC), the stratum griseum periventriculare (SGP), and the stratum album periventriculare (SAP). The stratum zonula (SZ) was the thinnest stratum in the optic tectum and its main thickness was (17-19) μm, while the stratum griseum et fibrosum superficiale (SGFS) was the thickest and its main thickness

The present Study Showed that the falciform process and vitereal vessels is extended upper to retina, which are found only in S. triostegus . The visual cells in both fishes have cones and rods with myoid element, myoids are inconspicuous in S. triostegus . The cones in S. triostegus are large but in L. abu found in four types, long single cones, short single cones, dwarf cones and twin cones. It appears that the cones in L. abu arranged as mosaic include square and row patterns, but they are distributed randomly in S. triostegus , also the cones in L. abu have lateral fins which are lack in S. triostegus .The result showed that three types of ganglion cells, long, medium and small as well as there is additional type called Giant ganglio

This study was aimed to find out the effect of Zingiber 2.5% and vit.E
(administrated a dose of 400mg/head) on some reproductive traits of 18
Awassi male lambs. Divided randomly into three groups equally. The result
showed significant (P<0.05) increase in serum testosterone concentration and
semen traits in animals group one which received ginger and group two where
the animals received vit E and ginger comparing to the control group , that
vit.E gave better results in these measurements in group two.

The aim of this study is to investigate the sexual desire and semen characteristics of Friesian bulls born in Iraq by adding different concentration of Glycyrrhizin glabra
to nutrient of these bulls and study the interaction between months and these treatments. Nine bulls divided randomly to three equal groups ,first group control T1 ,second and third group T2 ,T3 adding 200,400 mg/ kg body weight of Glycyrrhizin glabra respect .Sexual desire was measured according to reaction time and ejaculates collection by artificial vagina and examined using the following parameters: volume, mass, individual motility ,dead and abnormal sperm , concentration of sperms`/ml and total number of sperms , during December, January and February.

This study was conducted to know thehematological changes of anemia in horsesat equestrian club in Baghdad. Blood samples were collected from 151 horses of both sexes(74 male and 77 female) and different agesrandomly. The study includedred blood cells count, white blood cells, hemoglobin, packed cell volume and differential blood smears, togetherwith erythrocyte sedimentation rate readings. The study showed increased white blood cells count mainly neutrophilwith decreased hemoglobinand red blood cell countin addition to erythrocyte sedimentation rate.The blood smears showeddifferent changes of red blood cell.

     The aims of this study were to detect the changes in microflora and incidence of vaginitis in ewes after using of intravaginal sponges. Twenty five Awasi ewes were divided randomly into two groups (1^st group included 9 animals and 2^nd group included 16 animals). Both groups were treated with intravaginal sponges (20 mg) for 12 and 10 days respectively. Swabs were taken from vagina before insertion of sponges and immediately after sponges’ removal. The results showed that, only 2 ewes in 1^st group exhibited estrus while all ewes in 2^nd group exhibited estrus. Escherichia coli was the most predominant bacteria before insertion and withdrawal of sponges (66.66 a

The present study aimed to assess enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and 
nested-polymerase chain reaction (n-PCR) methods based on B1 gene for the detection of 
Toxoplasma (T.) gondii in the blood and milk of local Iraqi goats. The SAG3 gene was also 
used to identify the genotyping of T. gondii in goats and aborted women in Iraq. A total of 
240 (80 blood, 80 sera, 80 milk) lactating goats and 30 blood samples from aborted women 
were included in this study. A total of 17 (21.2%) infected goats were found in blood samples 
and 23 (28.7%)in milk samples when using n-PCR, while the numbers were 23 (28.7%) and 
17 (21.2%) when using ELISA. Aborted women had an overall infection rate of 50%

The pathological and histochemical changes inthe lung of ten guinea pigs have been investigated after using viable Nocardia asteroides in a dose of 1.5*10⁸ cfc, thebacteria was injected intrapulmonary. Lesions of pyogranuloma were developed. Histochemical studies showed that the granules of goblet cells and mucos glands of lung contain a mixture of neutral and sialomucin normal animal , these types of mucin changed to sialomucin and sulfomucin inthe infected animals.

Sixteen normal colostrum-fed -Friesian and Holestein-Friesian X Angus crossbred calves, ranging in age from 2 to 7 weeks were divided into 4 vaccinated groups and 1 nonvaccinated (control) group. Group I consisted of 2 calves vaccinated orally twice at a two week interval with small doses of organisms ( 104 thar1l05 live virulent Salmonella gghimurium, strain 108-11). Group ll consisted of 2 calves vaccinated orally twice at two weeks interval with 1011 organisms (modified Salmonella typhimurium, strain SL 3261 ).

   Arabian horses are regarded as the most famous breed for speed for long distances due to their genetic superiority. The aims of the study were to focus on the effect of different running speeds on the muscular tissues (Myoglobin, creatine kinase, aspartate transaminase), lactate dehydrogenase and synovial fluid (creatine kinase, aspartate transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase). Non-trained eight local Iraqi Arabian horses were run on soil track for a distance (1) Km, walking, trot, canter, and gallop. Blood and synovial fluid samples were collected before and after running. The biochemical parameters of serum showed gradual increase according to each type of speed. All of them were significant at P≤0.01. The biochemical p

     The study is performed to investigate the cardiotoxic effect of two season oleander leave extract in rabbits. The study involved a collection of the Nerium oleander leaves of two seasons (summer and winter) taken from Baghdad. The leaves were prepared by drying and grinding, and the extraction was carried by soxhlet apparatus with organic solvent (hexane). The toxicity was carried out on rabbits by giving 10% of the median lethal dose (LD50) for four weeks by considering different electrocardiography parameters and cardiac histopathological study after two weeks and four weeks of daily treatment. The electrocardiography parameters include R-R duration, T amplitude and Q-T duration values. The results of
