This study was performed on a 10 of local ewes during 24 hours after lambing. Five of the ewes suffering from uterine prolapse (treated group), and other five ewes didn't show uterine prolapse (control group). The study shows a relation between the calcium serum level and incidence of uterine prolapse after lambing. The result of study indicated that, a low level of calcium in the serum of treated group (2.29±0.33 mg/dl) as compared with the level of the calcium in the serum of the control group (6.52±0.30). The results indicated that the calcium deficiency (hypocalcaemia) in the late stage of pregnancy and at the lambing time may lead to uterine prolapse in ewes.

Synergistic action of probiotics and prebiotics (synbiotic) has been suggested to be more effective than the two separate components in the prevention and treatment of many intestinal and immune diseases. The present study aimed to examine the anti-inflammatory role of Fenugreek as synbiotic with Lactobacillus acidophilus against Escherichia coli. Twenty four adult males of Wister rats aged 3-4 months and weighted 200-250 gm were used and divided into 4 groups: 1st and 2nd groups were negative and positive control (C and C++) fed with basal diet, the 3rd group (T1) fed diet with Fenugreek seeds (5%) and the 4th group (T2) fed with the synbiotic Fenugreek seeds (5%) and L. acidophilus (5 × 108 CFU/ml) for 45 days. After that, rats in the

Gossypol is a substance found in the cottonseed. Recently in Iraq and in other countries the cottonseed
was used as a concentrate for fish and other animals without awareness of the risk. The present study is
designed to shed the light on the deleterious effect of gossypol on some hematological parameters and
enzymes of male common carp Cyprinus carpio l.. Oral administration of gossypol 20 mg./kg. b.w. for
ten days was found to be a strong lyses for red blood cell, reduced packed cell volume and increased
erythrocyte sedimentation rate and decreased total white blood cell. Furthermore alkaline
phosphotase, alinine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were increased which reflect
liver and kidneys damage c

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of body condition score (BCS) and supplementary feeding
on the reproductive performance of Awassi ewes.
One hundred sixty Awassi ewes aged 3-5 years (Average live weight 47.41±0.76) were used in a
completely randomized design. Six weeks before mating ewes were screened for their body condition
score (BCS) and divided into two groups, low BCS (<2.0) and high BCS (>2.0) and ewes in each group
were subdivided according to BCS and to non-supplemented and supplemented groups (n=40 ewes
).Therefore, the four groups were:
1. Group (LBCN) = Low Body Condition Non-supplemented.
2. Group (LBCS) = Low Body Condition Supplemented.
3. Group (HBCN) = High Body Condition
