To study the bacterial contamination of table eggs in Babylon city, a total of 214 eggs collected from different sources, including 100 from farms and 114 from supermarkets, all samples were cultured for the bacteria on Salmonella Shigella Agar(SS Agar) and nutrient agar. The results of the farms samples showed that there are no growth of bacteria in all samples under study whereas the results of supermarkets samples showed that about 21.05% of supermarkets eggs were contaminated with bacterial strains, and the results showed the presence of Stahylococcus aureus in 10.52% of the samples, Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 7.89%, a Proteus mirabilis in 3.50%, S. epidermidis in 0.87% and Bacillus subtilis in 0.87%. Also, the antibiotic sensitivity

     Milk and dairy products are fundamental components in the human diet and may be the principle way for entrance of Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in to the human body. All milk and dairy products samples were tested for the occurrence of AFM1 by the competitive ELISA technique. Out of 32 bovine raw milk samples that were collected from eight villages around Baghdad province, 32 samples (100 %) were contaminated with AFM1 ranging from 0.15 to 86.96ng/kg with mean value of 42.37±26.07 ng/kg, of which 17 samples were contaminated with concentrations < 50 ng/kg and 15 samples exceeded the maximum acceptable level of AFM1 in milk (50 ng/kg) imposed by the European legislation. The raw milk samples belonged to animals fed with

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of different hormonal treatments protocols (PGF2α ,GnRH, estradiol and progesterone) hormones on reproductive performance of postpartum anoestrus native dairy River buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis), endemic south of Baghdad under field conditions . Present study was conducted on 128 animals that had postpartum anoestrus (PPA) for a period between 4 to 8 months. The animals were subjected to two experiments according to the type of anoestrus. In the first experiment 94 animals (73.5%) with persistent corpus luteum on their ovaries without any signs of estrous (sub-oestrus) were classified into two sub-groups.Sub-group1 (n=47) treated with PGF2α hormone alone and sub-group 2 (n= 47) were treated by tw

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of age and season on the epididymal sperm and level of testosterone in camel. A total 103 camel testes samples were collected from Al-Najaf slaughter house during a cold season (December 2012, January and February 2013) and moderatehot season (March, April and May, 2013). Testes were divided into 3 Gs according to camel age, G1 included the testes of 2-3years, G 2 (3 – 4years) and over 4 years (G 3). Blood samples were collected for determination of serum testosterone level. The sperms were obtained from the tail of epididymis from all animals groups and the results of the sperms individual motility percentage was increased at the level of (P< 0.05) significantly with age progress in

The aim of this study was to compare anatomical and histological of the kidney in three type of birds. The study revealed that, in harrier species the cranial lobe of kidney was the largest with elongated shape. In mallard the cranial lobe was small round-oval, while middle and caudal lobe were lobulated and larger .In chicken the caudal lobe was the largest. Statistically, in harrier the mean length of cranial lobe (20±0.1mm) and the width of the middle lobe (5±0.5mm) were significantly higher than those of mallard (10±0.3mm) (8.0.2mm) and chicken (15±0.2mm) (4±0.4mm) respectively. The mean weight of the kidney in harrier is (5.8±0.20g) this value significantly was higher than those of mallared (8.9±0.11g) and chicken (6.8±0.10g

Some of somatic and flageller antgens from both the human and animal isolates were prepared,
and were used to Immunize a group of rabbits by intravenous injections at an upgrading doses.The
results of this immunization showed the gaining of an excellent hyperimmune serum. With the use
of absorptions technique amonospecific antiserum was obtained for the specific injected antigenes, the
standardization of the antibodies showed a highly immune response reading. 1: 2560 , 1: 5120 to H:I

Four Friesian bulls 3-6 Years old four Friesian heifers 18-24months old were used in this study. Three bulls were injected with 3 ml 3 davs old Mycoplasma bovigenitalium strain AL culture. One bull served as a control which recived broth only. Mycoplasma bovigenitalium organisms serologically similar to the injected strain was isolated from the experimental bulls. All the bullsshowed clinical signs of seminal vesiculitis with varying degress. Two of the infected bulls were left to service 4 clean virgin heifers for four months. All heigers required more than three services to concieve. Mycoplasma bovigenitalium serologically similar to the experimental strain was isolated from three cows at different periods.

This study was undertaken to evaluated vaccinating pregnant cows with "coligen" produced by "Fort Dedge Co." against colibacillsosis in newly born calves. The vaccine was given twice in the last two months of pregancy. Another group of pregnant cows were used as a control. Titration of antibodies was done in the sera and colostrum of the vaccinated and controlled animals and also in the sera of the newly born calves. There was significant rising in antibodies (P<0.01)in the vaccinated animals. These antibodies were protective. Calves receiving colostrum from vaccinated animals were to a certain degree protected aginst colibacillosis. Challenge experiment showed that 36 out of 43 calf of the control group developed diarrheal condition

The incidence of gross ovarian diseases were survid by studying 500 specimens obtained from Babylon slaughter house. The results of the study indicated that the incidence of the ovarian hypofunction (15.2%) was the highest, followed by cystic ovaries (2.8%), whereas the incidence of the ovarobursal adhesions was low (1.8%), while that of the parovarian cysts and cystic corpora lutea were lowest (1%). Additionally, the dimensions and content of the normal ovaries were included in the present study.

Globule leukocytes were detected in the epithelial mucosa of the biliary system of sheep infected with liver flukes. Histochemical investigations revealed cytochemical similarities between the globule leukocytes and mast cells of the biliary system. Both the intracytoplasmic granules of the mast cells and the globules of the globule leukocytes contained a sulphated acidmucopolysacchride assosiated with a highly basic protein.

Canine parvovirus 2 (CPV2) is a highly contagious and fatal disease of dogs, causing
acute hemorrhagic enteritis and myocarditis. In this study different mutant strains of the virus
were characterized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The fecal samples from infected dogs
suspected for CPV2 infection were collected in a suitable medium. The viral DNA from fecal
samples was extracted using specific kits, PCR were carried out with five different primer,
pCPV-2ab and pCPV-2b, to distinguish the strain prevalent in field condition. The primer
pCPV-2ab recognized both variant CPV-2a and CPV-2b, whereas the primer pCPV-2b
recognized only the variant CPV-2b, using the third primer pCPV to recognize the residual
base pair
