This study was included 155 records of Awassi ewes and 199 records of lambs born during two seasons (2011-2012), belonging to the College of Agriculture and Forestry, Mosul University. The effect of year was highly significant on all traits except for weight gain from weaning to 180 days (GW180d). Age of dam was significantly affected daily milk yield (DMY), birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW) and gain from birth to weaning (GBW). Type of birth had significant effect on DMY, BW,WW and weight at 180 days. The effect of lamb sex on WW, GBW was significant. Significant correlations coefficient were observed between DMY and total milk yield (TMY), months weight of lambs, GBW and GB180d being ranged from 0.46 to 0.99 and -0.44 to 0.99 respectively. The R2 values of prediction equations were high and ranged between 0.81 to 0.99 to predict TMY, and 0.97 to predict lamb weight at 180 days.

This research was aimed to delay the staling of wheat bread as one of the most used products globally by adding barley pentosanes, which is neglected and not taken into consideration despite their unique and multiple functional properties and their optimum storage temperature. Water-soluble pentosanes (WSP) and water-insoluble pentosanes (WIP)was extracted from barley (Hordeum vulgare) and added to wheat flour at different percentages. Five treatments were prepared: (T1) from flour only, (T2 and T3) adding WSP at levels of (1 and 2%), (T4 and T5) adding WIP at the same levels respectively. All treatments were stored at (20, 4 and -18 °C), for 72 h. The results indicated that the addition of pentosans (WSP and WIP) delayed the staling of bread, especially at the level of addition (2%) for both, when was stored at freezing temperature (-18°C). The results of the control treatment (T1) and the treatments that included the highest addition level (2%) ( T3 and T5) and after 72 hours of storage at (-18°C) were as follows: The moisture content of bread crumbs decreased to (39.44, 43.32 and 43.91%) respectively. While the moisture in the bread crust increased to (31.61, 33.98, 34.28%), respectively. The swelling power of the bread crumbs and the sediment volume also decreased to (0.74, 1.18, and 1.03%) and (23, 32 and 33%), respectively, which indicates the potency of pentosans and freezing temperature to delay the staling of wheat bread during the storage period.

This study was conducted to explain the effect of adding different resveratrol (Res) concentrations to soybean-lecithin extender on some post-cryopreserved (PC) semen characteristics of the Iraqi buffalo bulls for different preservation periods. Eight mature bulls were used, and polled semen was equally divided into four groups within one trial. Three Res concentrations (100, 150, and 200 μM) were added to the soybean-lecithin extender, and comparisons in the response were made with the control group (soybean-lecithin extender, Res-0). The differences among groups in sperm cell individual motility percentages at different preservation periods lacked significance. Greater (P≤0.01) sperm acrosome integrity percentage was noticed for the Res-150 group compared with the C and Res-200 groups at cooling, 48 hrs., and 2 months PC. Lesser (P≤0.01) malondialdehyde concentrations and sperm DNA damage percentage were observed for the Res-150 group as compared with the other groups, 2 months PC. Higher (P≤0.01) total antioxidant activity was shown in Res-150 and Res-200 groups as compared with the control and Res-100 groups, 2 months PC. In conclusion, adding Res to the soybean-lecithin extender enhanced some of the PC semen characteristics of Iraqi buffalo bulls at different preservation periods.

This study was carried out at the Poultry Research Station / Agricultural Research Department / Ministry of Agriculture, to investigate the effects of implanting genistein (GE) for the period of 1/February/2021 to 16/August/2021. into Iraqi local chickens at various ages on primary (PSF) and secondary (SSF) sex ratios of female, fertility (FE), and hatchability (HA) traits. At the age of 12 weeks, 100 hens and 20 roosters of Iraqi local chickens from the Poultry Research Station were used in this study. After numbering the hens, the birds were housed in individual cages and divided into four treatments (each with 25 chickens) as follows: T1: none implantation; T2, T3, and T4: implantation of 10 mg GE /kg weight at 14, 18, and 22 weeks of age, respectively. The experiment was divided into three periods, each for 28 weeks, and then rated according to the overall average and all of the traits studied. The results showed that implanting GE into hens had a positive influence on FE, PSF, SSF, and estrogen level (ES), especially at 18 weeks of age. There were also significant correlations between traits and ES in hens’ blood. It was also shown that the regression of most traits on ES is first order linear. As a result, it can be concluded that GE has a positive effect on ES, PSF, SSF, with the possibility of predicting sex ratios and sex offspring based on estrogen levels in the blood, and that implantation at 18 weeks of age has produced great results.
本研究于2021年2月1日至2021年8月16日在农业部家禽研究站/农业研究司/家禽研究站进行，目的是研究植入染料木素(GE)的效果。对不同年龄伊拉克地方鸡的主要(PSF)和次要(SSF)雌性性别比、育性(FE)和孵化率(HA)性状进行研究。试验选用12周龄的伊拉克地方鸡100只母鸡和20只公鸡。母鸡编号后，分笼饲养，每笼25只，分为4个处理:T1:不着床;T2、T3、T4:分别在14、18、22周龄注入10 mg GE /kg体重。实验分为三个阶段，每个阶段28周，然后根据总体平均值和所有研究的特征进行评分。结果表明，饲粮中添加GE对蛋鸡FE、PSF、SSF和雌激素水平(ES)有显著影响，尤其是在18周龄时。母鸡血液中ES与性状也有显著相关。结果表明，大多数性状对ES的回归是一阶线性的。由此可见，GE对ES、PSF、SSF均有正向影响，并有可能根据血液雌激素水平预测性别比和性别后代，且18周龄植入效果显著。

In this study, four types of basil seed extracts were used, being cold aqueous extract, hot aqueous extract, petroleum ether extract, and methanolic extract.Nine concentrations (10000, 5000, 2500, 1250, 625, 312.56, 156.25, 78.125, 39.0, 0.0) µg/ml were used to study the extracts cytotoxicity against two breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and AMJ13 beside REF cell line as normal cells. The methanol extract showed the highest inhibition rate of 64.4% on MCF7 cell line at concentration of 1250 µg/ml and 42.4% on AMJ13 cell line at a concentration of 39.0 µg/ml with significant difference as compared to control sample during the 72hr exposure period. While the petroleum ether extract showed a lower inhibition rate of 16.02% at a concentration of 78.1 µg/ml on MCF7 cell line and 35.3 % at a concentration of 312.5 µg /ml on AMJ13 cells during a 72hr exposure period, compared with the two aqueous extracts which showed a slight effect compared to the control. The cold aqueous extract showed the slight effect of 24.4% at a concentration of 5000 µg/ml on AMJ13 cell line and no toxicity was shown on MCF7 cells. All extracts showed no effect on REF normal cells. In all effective concentrations the basil seed extracts caused a damage to the DNA that cannot be repaired, and thus the cells are heading to programmed death. This effect on the genetic material was studied using the comet assay and mitotic index.

Lambs’ performance and some carcass traits in relation to insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) were studied in twelve lambs from each of Awassi and Karadi slaughtered at three different weights raised at the animal farm, Department of Animal Production, College of Agricultural Engineering Science, University of Duhok. Each group of lambs slaughtered at 30 kg, 40 kg, and 50kg was kept in an individual separate pen and fed concentrate ration at libitum. Weight gain and feed intake were recorded till the slaughter and blood samples were taken at the beginning of the experiment and one day before slaughter from the vena jugular for the IGF-1 analysis by using the enzyme immunoassay (EIA) method. Statistical analysis showed that the concentrations of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) were not affected significantly by breed. Furthermore, lambs slaughtered at 50 kg, showed numerically the highest IGF-1 concentration, compared to lambs slaughtered at 30 kg and 40kg. There was a significant positive correlation between IGF-1 concentrations and each of the average daily gain and daily feed intake of Awassi lambs slaughtered at 30. Additionally, no consistent results were found between the IGF-1 concentration and carcass composition in studied breeds.

This experiment was carried out at College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Sulaimani. Microscopically, no adverse histopathological changes were seen in the kidneys, liver, gills and intestines of Cyprinus carpio for T2(replacing fishmeal with 5% lentil) and T3 (replacing fishmeal with 10% lentil) in comparison with the control (T1). However, various levels of adverse histopathological changes were seen in the T4(replacing fish meal with 15% lentil) and T5 (replacing fishmeal with 20% lentil). In the kidneys, dilation of the Bowman’s spaces was evidently associated with a decrease in the mesangial cellularity of glomerular tuft. In the liver, congestion of the central vein was apparent together with centrilobular infiltration of inflammatory cells. In the gills, hyperplasia of primary and secondary lamellae was evident. In the intestine, vacuolar degeneration of the lining epithelial cells was apparent together with extravasation of RBCs associated with marked infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lamina propria. In conclusion, the partial replacement of the fishmeal in diets of C. carpio by crude lentil seeds was safe at the 5% and 10% levels as indicated by various levels of adverse histopathological effects on the kidneys, liver, gills, and intestine.

Microscopically, no adverse histopathological changes were seen in the kidneys, liver, gills and intestines of Cyprinus carpio for T2(replacing fishmeal with 5% lentil) and T3 (replacing fishmeal with 10% lentil) in comparison with the control (T1). However, various levels of adverse histopathological changes were seen in the T4(replacing fish meal with 15% lentil) and T5 (replacing fishmeal with 20% lentil). In the kidneys, dilation of the Bowman’s spaces was evidently associated with a decrease in the mesangial cellularity of glomerular tuft. In the liver, congestion of the central vein was apparent together with centrilobular infiltration of inflammatory cells. In the gills, hyperplasia of primary and secondary lamellae was evident. In the intestine, vacuolar degeneration of the lining epithelial cells was apparent together with extravasation of RBCs associated with marked infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lamina propria.

This study was aimed to evaluate the role of vitamins C and E on genotoxicity, biochemical and hematological indices in common carp, Cyprinus carpio following zinc oxide nanoparticles exposure. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized (size was < 34nm) and characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra (FTIR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. About 120 common carp (weight 20.0-32.0 g) were randomly divided into 12 tanks at rate of 10 fish/tank (two (replicates/treatment); fish were fed diet as follows: Control (C) were fed basal diet; T1 fish were fed basal diet mixed with vitamins C and E (400 mg/kg); T2 and T3 fish were fed basal diet mixed with 10%and 15% ZnONPs respectively; T4 and T5 fish were fed basal diet mixed with ZnONPs 10% and 15% plus vitamins C and E (400 mg/kg dw) respectively. Post 40 d feeding trail, variable changes were registered in blood indices (“Hb content, PCV%, WBCs and RBCs numbers”) in all treated groups compared to C and T1 groups. The highest DNA damage (% tail DNA using Comet assay) was seen in T2 and T3 which asserted highly significant increased (P≤0.01) compared to C and to treated groups. As well as, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity exhibited highly significant increase (P≤0.01) in T2 and T3 groups relative to C, T4, T1, T5 respectively. This investigation clearly proved that sub-lethal doses (10 and 15% in diet) of ZnONPs were able to induce an oxidative stress in carp fish as reflected by significantly increase of DNA damage to erythrocytes and “the combination of vitamins C and E was able to alleviate the oxidative stress generated due to exposure to ZnONPs.”
