This study was conducted in the field of the Poultry Research Station of the Department of Animal Production / Department of Agricultural Research / Ministry of Agriculture for the period 4/4/2021 to 16/5/2021, in which 300 one-day-old Ross308 chicks that fed on diets used avocado oil and Chia with percentages 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6% respectively, and their mixture consisting of 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 each of avocado and Chia oil (50% avocado + 50% Chia oil). The experiment included 4 treatments with 3 replicates for each treatment (10 birds/replicates), in order to study the effect of using avocado and chia oil and their mixture in meat broiler diets on some physiological and microbial characteristics of blood plasma. The results indicate a significant increase (P < 0.01) in the concentration of total protein and globulin for the treatment birds in which the mixture of avocado and Chia oil was used. While there were no significant differences in the concentration of albumin between the types of the used oils. It was noted through the results that the percentage of usage 0.6% had achieved a high significant increase in the concentration of total protein, albumin and globulin in the blood plasma of the birds of these treatments compared with the rest of the percentages of use (0, 0.2 and 0.4). As for the interaction, the results showed a high significant increase in the protein concentration (P<0.01) in the treatment (M0.6) in both total protein and albumin concentration compared with the rest of the interactions, And the concentration of globulin was significantly increased (P<0.01) in the birds of the treatments (C0.6, M0.2, M0.4, M0.6) compared with the rest of the interactions. The results showed a high significant decrease (P<0.01) in the concentration of cholesterol in the birds of the treatments in which the mixture of oil and Chia oil were used, while a high significant increase (P < 0.01) in the concentration of HDL was observed in the birds that used the mixture of avocado and Chia oil in their diets compared with the other types of oils, While a high significant decrease (P<0.01) in LDL concentration was observed in birds of the treatment with the oil mixture, while no significant differences were observed between types of oils in the concentration of both triglycerides and VLDL. The level of the percentage of usage had a high significant decrease (P < 0.01) in the concentration of cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and VLDL at all levels of usage 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6% compared to the control treatment, while a high significant (P < 0.01) increase in the concentration of HDL was observed at the rates of use of 0.4 and 0.6% compared with the control treatment which is void of usage. Whereas, the best high significant improvement (P<0.01) in the lipid profile of the lipid plasma was achieved by a mixture treatment with a percentage of use of 0.6% compared with the rest of the interactions. It was noted that there was a high significant increase (P < 0.01) in the number of Lactobacillus bacteria and a high significant decrease (P < 0.01) in the number of E. coli bacteria in the avocado and Chia oil mixture treatments compared with the rest of the used oils. As for the study of the effect of the percentage of use, it increased significantly. (P < 0.01) Lactobacillus bacteria numbers of all usage percentages (0.2, 0.4 and 0.6) compared with the control treatment, in addition to a high significant decrease (P < 0.01) in the numbers of E. coli bacteria. As for the interaction between the type of oil and the percentage of usage, a high significant increase (P < 0.01) was observed in the numbers of Lactobacillus bacteria in the treatment (M0.2 and M0.6) compared with the rest of the interactions, in addition to a high significant decrease (P < 0.01) In the numbers of E.coli bacteria in treatment (M0.6) as the best interaction compared to the rest of the interactions. We conclude from this study that the use of mixed oil at a percentage of 0.4-0.6% in meat broiler diets will improve the physiological characteristics of the blood plasma, in addition to a decrease in the number of harmful bacteria (E. coli) and an increase in the number of beneficial bacteria, which has an important role in improving the physiological condition of birds, which is reflected positively on productive performance and obtaining high growth without the use of harmful synthetic materials.
Novel derivatives of 1-(´1, ´3, ´4, ´6-tetra benzoyl-β-D-fructofuranosyl)-1H- benzotriazole and 1-(´1, ´3, ´4, ´6-tetra benzoyl-β-D-fructofuranosyl)-1H- benzotriazole carrying Schiff bases moiety were synthesised and fully characterised. The protection of D- fructose using benzoyl chloride was synthesized, followed by nucleophilic addition/elimination between benzotria- zole and chloroacetyl chloride to give 1-(1- chloroacetyl)- 1H-benzotriazole. The next step was condensation reaction of protected fructose and 1-(1-chloroacetyl)-1H- benzotriazole producing a new nucleoside analogue. The novel nucleoside analogues underwent a second conden- sation reaction with different aromatic and aliphatic amines to provide new Schiff b

Show MoreThis study analyses six political cartoons selected based on their relevance to current Iraqi political issues, specifically the period between 2005 and 2015, from American online newspapers (calgecartooms.com). The selection criteria included the cartoons' satirical elements, visual rhetoric, and their ability to engage with themes such as power dynamics, social issues, and public opinion. It sheds light on how these cartoons can function as mediators of meanings between the cartoonists and the readers. The data is examined using multimodal discourse analysis (MDA), which combines language study with the analysis of other visual elements, like colors, gestures, and images, to understand meaning (O’Halloran et al., 2011). The Visual Socia

Show MoreIn this study, NAC-capped CdTe/CdS/ZnS core/double shell QDs were synthesized in an aqueous medium to investigate their utility in distinguishing normal DNA from mutated DNA extracted from biological samples. Following the interaction between the synthesized QDs with DNA extracted from leukemia cases (represents damaged DNA) and that of healthy donors (represents undamaged DNA), differential fluorescent emission maxima and intensities were observed. It was found that damaged DNA from leukemic cells DNA-QDs conjugates at 585 nm while intact DNA (from healthy subjects) DNA–QDs conjugates at 574 nm. The obtained results from the optical analyses indicate that the prepared QDs could be utilized as probe for detecting disrupted DNA th

Show MoreThis study tackles a fourth-order inverse problem involving a cantilever beam with nonlocal conditions to simultaneously calculate the beam’s displacement and an unknown time-dependent coefficient. A finite difference approach is suggested to discretize the hyperbolic fourth-order equation. A stability analysis for the proposed scheme is also provided. The indirect problem is the minimization of the misfit function. The goal of the minimization algorithm is to reduce the gap between the measured (noisy) data and the numerical computed solution provided by the model. To achieve stable results, Tikhonov’s regularization technique is employed, and two numerical test examples are shown to illustrate the suggested scheme's reliabilit
