The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of borne tuberculin infection in milk sample by using PCR.  (102) milk samples were collected from  cows , AL-Dejella (39) samples,  AL-Suara (20) samples cow station, AL-Fthalia (20) samples,  AL-Azezia (11) samples and AL-Twarege (12) samples (Iraq) during the period  July 10^th   2010 to  Nov.30^th   2010. The samples were examined by direct smear stained by Ziehle-Neelson stain, culture methods and confirmed the isolates by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay. The results showed that  5, 102 (4.9%) milk samples were M. bovis positive that were detected by

The aim of the present study is to prepare ethanol extract of Pomegranate peel and the effects of this extract on testicular weight to body weight ratio, Serum cholesterol, testosterone concentration and histopathological changes of testes in rabbits treated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). 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

   Eighteen infertile multiparous mares were used in this study. They had been barren for at least 2 years and had been bred repeatedly during those years, and were 8-20 years of age. Clinical genital, and endometrial cy

Sixty sheep of three local breeds (Awassi, Hamdani, Karadi) of age, 6-8 months were divided to two groups, the first fed on low level of nutrition. Each group then divided into Two subgroups,

     The aims of this study were to detect the changes in microflora and incidence of vaginitis in ewes after using of intravaginal sponges. Twenty five Awasi ewes were divided randomly into two groups (1^st group included 9 animals and 2^nd group included 16 animals). Both groups were treated with intravaginal sponges (20 mg) for 12 and 10 days respectively. Swabs were taken from vagina before insertion of sponges and immediately after sponges’ removal. The results showed that, only 2 ewes in 1^st group exhibited estrus while all ewes in 2^nd group exhibited estrus. Escherichia coli was the most predominant bacteria before insertion and withdrawal of sponges (66.66 a

Plant on Hymenolepis nana at dose (50,100,250) mg/ml respectively and
acomparison between effect of the extract and mebendazole drug in all

This study was conducted in the special nursery in Mansour - Baghdad at 2011. to study the effect nitrogen 05 and 02 grams per liter in the form of urea as well as spraying four plant extracts which are Glycyrrhiz glabra uritica dioica Allium sativum Trigonella foenum – graecum and concentration of 5 grams per liter of distilled water and every extract plant in addition to the control treatment. Treatments were applied three times and the first was applied at 15-5-2011and the following applications were 15 days after the first application. Experiment were conducts using complete randomized block design with three replicates. Results, were analyzed using least significant differences at 5% probability. The results are summarized as foll

A total of 100 animals were examined during the period of beginning of September - 2010 till the end of March 2011 at dept of Microbiology college of Veterinary Medicine Baghdad University Baghdad Iraq. These animals include 50 cow and 50 sheep. Hairs and scales were submitted to direct KOH mount smear and culture on modified Sabouraud's Dextrose agar medium The direct smear was positive in 40 ( 80%) for both cows and sheep while the growth of dermatophyte was positive in 35 ( 70%) and 38 ( 76%) for cows and sheep respectively. Species identification revealed the presence of Trichophyton rubrum ( 19 isolates ) Trichophyton verrucosum ( 10 isolates ) Trichophyton mentagrophytes ( 5 isolates ) and Microsporum canis ( one isolate ) in cow w

This experiment aimed to investigate changes, in the structural-functional aspects of the pineal and pituitary glands as well as the ovary and uterus, that might associate with trypanosomiasis induced by T. evansi in female rabbit. The ovarian and uterine response to the luteinizing hormone-like activity (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, HCG) was also tested. Trypanosomiasis did not cause significant changes in body, ovarian and uterine weights. There were degenerative changes in the structural-functional picture of the studied organs. T. evansi resulted in decreased response of the ovaries and uteri to HCG. The direct and indirect effects, including somatic and autoantibodies production, of this species of trypan

A total of (25) stool samples were collected from children and adults (2- 4) years old
suffering from diarrhea to isolate E. coli strains that produce heat-stable enterotoxin a (STa),
and after performing microscopic examination, cultural characterization and biochemical
identification only (11) isolates showed positive E. coli. STa activity was estimated by using
suckling mouse assay (SMA) and from these (11) isolates only (5) showed STa activity and
the one with the highest STa activity was selected for large scale production of STa, which
was followed by partial purification using ion-exchange chromatography (normal phase)
using DEAE sephadex A-50 column. After purification and determination of protein

The in vivo study was designed to evaluate the anticancer effects of these three types of the extracts on the AM-3 (Murine mammary adenocarcinoma). The LD50 was (5 g/kg, 6 g/kg and 8 g/kg) for ethanolic, hot aqueous and cold aqueous extracts respectively. The therapeutic doses of extracts were daily injected subcutaneously for two weeks, three weeks and four weeks. The histopathological study revealed pathological changes in some organs; the group that treated with ethanolic extract showed sever deposition of amyloid in some organs like spleen. The blood vessel filled with inflammatory cells as neutrophiles and cells infiltration in the lung tissue. Hot and cold aqueous extracts showed inflammatory mononuclear cells infiltration in the k

This study was conducted on 53 samples of female local Kurdi goats uterus contained one or two fetuses .These samples were collected from Sulaimani slaughter house, A total of 53genitlia were consisted of 36 (67.92%)single and 17(32.08%)twin fetuses ,with a total of 70 fetus,of them 33(47.14%) and 37(52. 86%) were located in the right and left horns, respectively. The number of fetuses with macroscopically clear external sex organ was 55, the total number of male fetuses was 34(48.57%) while the female was 21(30%).The fetuses whose external organ could not be diagnosed were 15(21.42%). The weight of the fetal testes and the length of scrotum were increased steadily with an increasing in the fetal Crown Rump Length(CRL). When the CRL is 2

This study was carried out on the pituitary gland of eight male buffaloes 3-5 years old, examined under light microscope. The histological results revealed that the pars tuberalis contained four types of cells, not similar to any other cell types of the pars distalis. This finding and the location of the pars tuberalis at the gate of pars distalis which control the blood circulation give the pars tuberalis a special functional importance.

This study was carried out to at the poultry farm of the college of
veterinary medicine / Baghdad University during 12/5/2004 – 6/7/2004 to
study the effect of substitution of smut wheat instead of intact wheat in
poultry ration at the following levels (0%, 25% , 50% and 100%)
representing the following groups (T0, T1, T2 and T3), respectively. Physical
treatment was obtained for smut wheat by polishing the seed by sand to
remove the superficial fungal growth. Each group was sub divided into two
sub groups, one was physically treated with sand and the other was not
treated to study the hematology traits at 28 and 56 days of the experiment.

Out of 225 specimences taken from nasal, Vaginal, eye swabs, milk synovial fluid and from internal organsof horses. Twelve isolates were recovered as follows 9 isolates from nasal swabs, 3 isolates from vaginal swabs. No mycoplasma isolates were recovered from milk and internal orgxuns. All isolates have been tested for thier reversion to bacterial form. These isolates were purified and biochemical characterized. Six isolates “were fermented glucose, two isolates were diaminted arginine and non of these isolates did reduced tetrazolium. Six of these isolates were resistant to digitonin while the rest were sensitive.
