The histological study showed that the retina of falcon"s eyeball was thin at the periphery
and ranges between 0.6-0.8 μ but it was thick at center 1.68-2.64 μ. The retina consists from
ten layers: pigmented epithelium, rods and cons layer, external nuclear layer, external
plexiform layer, internal nuclear layer, internal plexiform layer, Gangilionic cells layer,
neurofibres layer and internal limiting membrane layer. The ultra-structural study stated that
the rods and cons layers contained single rods with single and double cons. The retina
characterized by lacking of the oil droplets in the internal segments of rods with narrow
external plexiform layer in order to form network connecting rods and cones, horizonta

The macroscopic infection total was 9.58%. it was regarded to monthly variation. It was 27.5% in February and 2.5% in August. The highest infection rate was in the thorax muscles (6.2%) and the lowest in the neck muscles (1.6%), Also the macroscopic infection rate was higher (13.5%) in males than females (5%).

Melatonin is the main molecule that transmits the signal of seasonal change to the neuroendocrine system in seasonal breeding species, through specific melatonin receptors, Melatonin Receptor Type 1A. In the present study, a total of 40 local Iraqi non pregnant goats were used to study the relationship betweenPolymorphism of Melatonin Receptor Type 1A (MTNR1A) gene with some reproductive performance. Animals were reared in a farm located inAl-Yusufiya/Baghdad. Animals were divided based on breading season into two groups, with 20 animals each as follows: goats which gave birth in expected breading season (January, Febreuary,and March), and goats which gave birth in unexpected breading season (October, November, and December). All goats w

The frequency and distribution pattern of Aeromonas hydrophilain cow’s raw milk and soft cheese were investigated in Abu-Ghraib, Al-Fudhaliyah and Al-Sadrya regions in Baghdad. A total of one hundred twenty pooled samples were collected during February until June (2019),in which sixty samples of raw milk pooled from milk containers, twenty from each region (four samples collected monthly per region) and sixty samples of fresh soft cheese made from raw unpasteurized milk were collected from different supermarkets in Baghdad as same as proportion above. Modified procedures for isolation and identification were dependent in which, modified tryptone soya yeast extract sheep blood agar supplemented with ampicillin used. Gram stain

The current study was conducted to study experimentaly induced zinc deficiency and its consequnces hematology  in Iraqi goats. A twenty five goats, 5-6 months old were involved in this study. The study extended from November 2018 continued for 10 weeks in the farm of College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Diyala. The animals were fed a  high calcium content ration (400-500 gm/head/day) in addition to hay and water with ad libitum during the study. The main clinical signs were retardation in hair growth, especially of legs and head, swollen joint, poor growth, rough hair coat, loss of hair on head, limbs, and scrotum,  cracking of the hooves. The skin rough, thickened, cracked, alopecia, crusting, and hyperk

This study aimed to isolate Pseudomonas aeruginosa from cattle (bovine) milk with mastitis to characterize its antimicrobial susceptibility against some antibiotics, and to identify aminoglycoside acetyltransferase (aac-3-Ib) gene.A total of 100 bovine milk samples were collected randomly from different local cow farms at districts of Wasit governorate, Iraq. Six P. aeruginosa isolates were obtained using bacterial culture method and further identified by Analytical Profile Index (API-20E). The antibiotic sensitivity test was performed by disc diffusion methods. Among the 5 antibiotics used, the highest resistance (100%) was found with Nalidixic acid andtetracycline, follow by gentamicin (50%) and the lowest re

Tumours in pets occur naturally are as common in dogs as they are in humans. Tumours of the alimentary system have been reported in animals, although less frequently. Food patterns and specific diet components could have a big role in such tumour occurrence. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the clinical signs and inspect the neoplasm lesions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract grossly and histopathologically in dogs in Baghdad, Iraq, and to see whether pet diets had any tumourigenic effect. Throughout two years sixteen dogswere referred to Teaching Animal Hospital and private clinics at Baghdad city had masses in (GI) tract. Males and the large sizes breeds were more likely to be affected wi

This study aimed to determine the concentration of depleted uranium and the main histopathological changes in local fish and chickens at a selected Iraqi area suspected to be polluted with uranium. Different locations of Al-Tuwaitha region (Southern of Baghdad) were surveyed randomly to collect a total of 15 samples from each animal species. The animals were sacrificed and dissected at the site of collection. Muscle samples were collected to determine uranium concentrations using nuclear fission track analysis with CR-39 detectors. For histopathological changes, sample tissues from fish (liver, gills, and kidney) and chickens (liver, kidney, and lung) were collected and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. The results showed that ther
