This experiment includes 228 local Awassi ewes between 2 to 5 years
old. The aim of this experiment was to estimate the fetal age by
measurement of transthoracic, transabdominal, cotyledon length and width
during different period of gestation by using 5MHz real-time
ultrasonography. Linear, quadratic and cubic equations were described,
which adjust the relationship between the gestation age and each of
transthoracic, transabdominal, cotyledon length and width. Results indicated
that the quadratic equations of transthoracic and transabdominal were the
best equations; while the cubic equations of each of the cotyledon length and
width were the best equations to estimate the fetal age

     The study aimed to investigate the anatomical and histomorphometrical features of spleen in gazelle. To achieve this goal, spleens of 7 animals were used. The gross aspect of the study revealed that the spleen of gazelle appeared dark brown in color with elliptical shape and was situated at the left lateral surface of the rumen. It occupied the area extended from the 8^th rib to 11^th rib. Length and width of the spleens were calculated and the mean were 7.94±0.1, 5.88±0.2 respectively. There were three ligaments connected the spleen with adjacent structures, namely splenogastric, splenorenal and splenophrenic. The blood supply of the spleen was studied using X-rays and resin injection metho

Little information is available on the pathophysiological changes caused by Fasciola gigantica. The present study aimed at the ellucidation of these changes in Awasi lambs infected with various doses (100, 300 and 600) of metacercariae.

The radio-isotop (Fe5%) was used to reveal the ferrokinetic pathway in the blood stream of sheep as a result of infection.

All lambs exposed to 100 metacercariae showed the chronic phase of the disease. Of the group exposed to 300 metacercariae, two lambs suffered the subacute phase and the remaining three had the chronic phase. Out of the five lambs given 600 metacercariae, four showed acute syndrom, while the fifth showed the subacute phase of the disease.
