We noticed that the histological changes in the crop wall was in the lining epithelia only , also we
found that the pigeon milk production in the 12 day of broodness is enough to feed the young , in which
the thickness of stratified squamous epithelium was 432 micrometer . There was an important statical
different in the weight of crop epithelium thickness in the 12-16 day of incubation in compare with 1 – 6)
day of incubation . There were no histological changes in the structure of crop glands.

The susceptibility of all Salmonella typhimurium isolates to the first line antimicrobial agents were
studied and the results obtained showed a variable sensitivity and resistivity since it shows e.g
resistivity for human isolated were Ampicillin 100% ,Chloramphenicol 96% , Co-Trimoxazol 85%,
Tetracycline 85%, Nalidixic acid 77% and Cefotaxime 33%, While in animal isolates they were
ampicillin 57%, Co-Trimoxazol 14%, Chloramphenicol 26%, Tetracycline 42%, Nalidixic acid 85%
and there was no resistant isolate to cefotaxime (0)%.

Objectives of this study were to evaluate hematological and biochemical parameters in rats ingested toxic doses of CuSO4.5H2O. Thirty six rats divided into 3 equal groups. First group ingested orally distilled water / day for 3 months and considered as control group , second group was drenched 8 mg /kg B.W /day of CuSO4.5H2O for 3 months and considered as Treated group1 (T1). Third group was drenched 40 mg /kg B.W /day of CuSO4.5H2O for 3 months and considered as Treated group2 (T2). Blood collection was done by direct cardiac puncture every month for hematological and biochemical examinations. Hematological parameters showed that anemia caused by CuSO4.5H2O toxicity was of microcytic hypochromic type with significant increase of neutrop

The effect of sub-clinical level of H. contortus infection (500 larvae/kg. bodyweight) over the lambing period and first 6 weeks of lactation on lambs birth weight, milk yield and composition were noted. This level of infection was significantly reflected (5%) on lamb birth weight, while lamb weight gain was not markedly affected. During lactation, infected ewes produced 14% less milk and this was highly significant at 1% level, despite the associated fall in egg count. Infected ewes showed a significant reduction (5%) in the milk protein percentage, while milk fat percentage was not substantially affected. Thus the ewe appears to be particularly susceptible to the effect of parasitism at this time.

The Rose Bengal test is one of the famous diagnostic test of Brucellosis
specially as a screening test in order to detect the infection in limited area.
Rose Bengal standard stain which producd by specific companies was used in
preparation of the test special antigen , The stain gives the known pink colour
for the antigen during the test that make the agglutination in positive cases more
visible due to the reaction between antigen and the specific antibodies of
Brucella which found in the serum sample of human and different animals.
Antigen for the Rose Bengal test in this study is prepared by using alternative
stain easily found in local supermarkets using for food colours and not
expensive like standard stain
