This study was done to evaluste the possible effect of mixing coligen vaccine prepared from E£. coli with hemorrhagic septicaemia vaccine prepared from P. multocida on the development of immmity. Awwasi sheep were used as experimental animals. A slight increase in the mean antibody titers in the animal group vaccinated with the mixed vaccine compared to the groups received each vaccine separately was noticed. Challenge experiment showed that protection against heterologous organiams by using homologous vaccine was low (12.5%) in comparison with the group received homologous vaccine (protection 87.5%). No detectable reaction tms noticed with the antisera and heterologous antigens.

The evaluation of gingerol as medical entities in Iraq and Jamaica cultivated
ginger was done in this experiment. Two different types of cultivated ginger
(Iraq and Jamaica) of the same species (Zingiber officinal) were extracted to
achieve the subject of this study. Extraction was performed by two different
stages: the first stage preparative and extraction. Harvested ginger was prepared
for extraction by wash, denotation, drying, grinding, and extracting by acetone
under heating. The second stage is separation by two steps via TLC and HPLC.
The quality and quantity of oleoresin and gingerol in each step of separation
were checked by spots diameter and RF value of spot migration in TLC ginger
compounds and qua

    The aim of this study was to measure the selenium level in the stray cats of both sexes. Blood samples were collected from forty four male and female stray cats from different places in Baghdad city for the estimation of selenium level. The results showed that the lowest value was 1.646 μmol/L (0.13 μg/ml (ppm)) and the highest value was 3.798 μmol/L (0.3 μg/ml (ppm)) with a mean value ± Standard Error of 2.526 μmol/L ± 0.091 (0.1995 μg/ml (ppm)± 0.007). The range in males and females was 1.646 -  3.798 μmol/L (0.13 - 0.3 μg/ml (ppm)) and 2.405 -  3.798 μmol/L (0.19 - 0.3 μg/ml (ppm)), respectively with a mean 2.45 μmol/L ± 0.108 (0.194 μg/ml (ppm)± 0.009) and 2.785 μmol/L ± 0.137 (0.22 μg

     Rotavirus is the common key etiologic agents of attained diarrhea in infant, young children and neonatal calves globally. It is very important to early diagnose the disease in purpose of effective patient treatment. This study was conducted by using three different kits for detecting Rotavirus in calves in five Iraqi governorates (Al-qadissiya, Babel, Kerbala, Missan, Wassit). A total of 125 stool specimens were examined, they were collected from calves in the (period from November 2015 to February 2016). The ages ranged from 1 to 16 weeks. Stool samples were collected and examined using Chromatographic Immunoassay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Polymerase-chain reaction. The results obtained by chromatog

Three hundred one day old Hubbard broiler chicks were used in this study. Chicks were weighed and randomly divided into 10 treatments groups, with 2 replicates (15chicks each).These groups were fed with the following rations: The 1st group was fed the basal diet (control group).The 2nd,3rd and 4th groups were fed the basal diet+0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 % basil powder for the first 3 weeks only respectively. At the 5th, 6th and 7th groups were fed the same basal diet +0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 % basil powder for the second 3 weeks respe

Twenty four adult male rabbits were used. They were divided randomly into four equal groups. Animals were treated for 56 days as following: Rabbits of the 1st group were received 1 ml distal water orally once a day and olive oil 0.5 ml /kg B.W. I.P twice a week as control group. The second group were treated I.P with 500mg / kg B.W. of CCl4 mixing with equal volume of olive oil (0.5 ml/kg B.W.) twice a week (group T1). The third group was received po

Experimental induction of vitamin E and selenium deficiency using deficient diet was carried out on fourteen pregnant Awassi ewes and their newborn lambs to study the effect of the deficiency on erythrocytes osmotic fragility and phagocytosis. From the fourteen deficient ewes, seven were vaccinated with Rev I vaccine and seven ewes as control group, and their newborn lambs were used in the study. Results were showed increased in the concentration of saline solution in start and complete erythrocyte hemolysis in deficient lambs (0.52 ± 0.01 and 0.54 ± 0.01) and (0.42 ± 0.01 and 0.44 ± 0.00) respectively and in deficient ewes (0.53 ± 0.01 and 0.54 ± 0.01) and (0.43 ± 0.01 and 0.44 ± 0.00) respectively. Results showed a low phagocyt

The research was carried out in Babylon province on 138 domestic and wild columbide birds were collected during the period from April to June 2012. Fresh saline smears samples (wet mount) were taken from mucosa of buccal cavity, pharynx ,esophagus and crop of each bird, then examined by wet mount looking for Trichomoniasis, then the intestine opened longitudinally examined looking for helminthes which examined grossly and after fixative staining with carmine stain for identification. The results of wet mount for Trichomonus technique revealed that the total rate of infection was 43(31.5%). Asignificant differences were recorded in the rates of infection regarding the species of birds. The highest rate of infection was recorded with Trich

Water intoxication is a fatal disorder associated with disturbance in brain function, known as hypo-osmolar syndrome which resulting from an excessive water intake, with dilutional hypernatremia leads to a potentially fatal outcome. A change in the electrolyte equilibrium such as this sudden drop in serum sodium level and then subsequent mortality. With hyponatremia, the plasma osmolality decreased leading to water movement into the brain according to the osmotic gradient, resulting in hyponatremic encephalopathy and cerebral oedema. Increased water intake such as in Psychogenic polydipsia is followed by urination of high amount of diluted urine (polyuria) which are the main initial symptoms of water intoxication with headache, blurred v

The study was aimed to comparison of anthraxin prepared by a modified
method from cell-wall extract of avirulent B .anthracis strain 34F2(Sterne)
with antigens extracted from the same strain as 1/40 antigen, autoclaved 1/40
and the crude toxin. These antigens were compared on their induction of cellmediated
immunity (CMI) in guinea pigs. Animals were immunized and
boosted subcutaneously with the Sterne live veterinary anthrax vaccine. Two
weeks after the booster dose, animals were skin-tested with the four antigens.
Anthraxin was the most active antigen which recorded 16.66 mm a mean of
erythema and 2.3 mm a difference of skin thickness after 24 hours. Both 1/40
and autoclaved 1/40 antigens gave approximately t

This study was designed to determined the influence of levamisole
administration as immunostimulator for sheep vaccinated with Brucella
melitensis vaccine (Rev-1). The sixty sheep (males and females) were
divided equally into four groups *The first group (vaccinated group ) the
animals were vaccinated with Rev-1 vaccine at a dose of 1 ml s/c which
contain 2 x 109 viable bacteria *The second group ( vaccine and
levamisole ), was vaccinated with Rev-1 as the same of the first group as
well as levamisole was given orally at a dose of 10 mg / kg B.W a week
before vaccination and with vaccination and a week after vaccination and
then levamisole was given at monthly intervals up to the end of the
experiment.* Thir

One hundred samples of ration, protein, corn, soybean, and wheat were collected from poultry houses in Baghdad and suburbs to examine Aflatoxin occurrence in chicken's diet. ALISA technique was used for this purpose.The results revealed presence of high level of Aflatoxin in ration (P< 0.05) compared with other contents of diet fallowed by soybean (P< 0.05) then corn, wheat, and protein respectively .These contents were mixed and tested by ELISA and presented to the experiment chicks. One hundred and twenty, one day old chicks, were divided to four groups, first group (G1) was fed contaminated Aflatoxin feed and did not vaccinated. The second group (G2) was fed contaminated feed and vaccinated with Newcastle Disease vaccine (NDV) a

The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of copper
deficiency on some milk constituents of ewes.(Thirty)raw milk samples have
been collected in the morning and before feeding of the ewes,(10) of them
from ewes suffering from copper deficiency and the other(20) milk samples
were collected from healthy ewes .The percentages of fat ,protein ,lactose,
chloride, specific gravity, moisture and the pH of milk were determined.
The results have shown that copper deficiency have an effect on the milk
constituents where all milk samples collected from ewes suffering from
copper deficiency had significantly (p<0.01) lower percentages of fat
(5.70%) ,protein(3.0%), lactose (3.4%)
and specific gravi
