An infectious syndrome of broiler chickens characterized by. stunted growth, poor feathering, leg weakness, poor feed conversion, and loss of pigmentation of the skin. The syndrome was initially reported in Netherland (Kouwenhoven et al., 197848), and have since been described in England (Bracewell and Wyeth, 1981), U.S.A. (page et al., 1982), Australia (pass et al.,1982) and Canada (Riddell and Derow, 1982). The various names of the syndrome reflects the variety of clinical signs and gross lesions .observed, and although reported conditions share many clinical signs and pathological changes, it is not certain that all reports describe the same disease entity.

In this study we collect 1520 stool samples during the period from September to December 2010 from children whom their ages between 1 month - 12 years. The results showed that the total infection of Entamoeba histolytica was 9.80% , and Giardia lamblia was 1.77%. And the male ratio that infected with Entamoeba histolytica was 9.83% , while the female ratio was 9.74%; and the male infected with Giardia lamblia was 1.51% , while the female ratio was 2.18%. The result showed that the high average of infection with Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia in age group from 1 month to 2 years. And there is no significance difference between gender and infectivity rate of Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia under P≤0.05. Also it showe

In 120 hen eggs ( local eggs , hatching eggs and table eggs ) a bacteriological
pollution with high rate was observed by isolating 427 bacterial isolates from
which 199 isolates related to the egg's shell , 117 isolates related to albumen sac,
and 111 isolates related to yolk sac .
The Salmonella ssp isolates were the greater number (142 isolates) ,
Echerichia coli ( 138 isolates ) , Streptococcus ssp ( 89 isolated) and lately
Staphylococcus ssp ( 58 isolates ) which was never isolated from internal egg
components (Albumen Sac and yolk sac) .
The study explains that the shell of the egg is more contaminated than
Albumen Sac and yolk sac and that the table egg is more contaminated than the
other groups.
