To study the influence of castration and slaughter weight, 24 weaned kids from each of Black goat and Meriz kids were divided equally into two groups, the first was castrated, while the second was left intact, and all were fed individually and slaughtered at 15, 20 and 25kg. Results revealed that the overall mean of daily gain (DG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), Dressing percentage (DP), rib eye area (REA) and fat thickness (FT) averaged respectively 0.073±0.003kg, 6.062±0.32kg/kg, 41.17±0.35%, 10.05±0.40 cm2 and 0.33±0.04mm. It seems that breed had no significant effect on DG and DP. Black goat had significantly higher FCR, REA and FT than Meriz kids, and intact kids had significantly (P<0.05) higher DG and FCR than castrated only. A significant effect was noticed of slaughter weight on DG, FCR, REA and FT being highest in kids slaughtered at 25kg. A significant effect was observed for the effect of breed, castration and slaughter weight on some of muscle groups (MG1, MG3, MG4, MG5, MG6, MG7, MG9). Breed and castration had no effect on total carcass fat. Meriz kids had significantly(P<0.05) higher lean: fat ratio and lean: bone ratio.

The study evaluates the performance of a new design of blades (T-shape) rotary plow. The field experiment was carried out on the farm of Al-Quba village, Nineveh, Iraq. In the present research, draft force (Df), energy requirement (RE), fuel consumption (FC), soil disturbed volume (SDV), and percentage of the soil clods which have a diameter of less than 5 cm (PSCD) were tested during three soil moisture content levels (10-12, 13-15, and 16-18) %, and two tillage depth levels (5-10, and 10-20) cm. and three rotation speeds of the blade’s axis (140, 180, and 220) rpm. The results showed the superiority of soil moisture content (16-18) % with a rotation speed of (140) rpm and tillage depth (5-10) cm were recorded less Df (5.11) kN. The soil moisture content (16-18) % with a rotation speed of (140) rpm and tillage depth of (5-10) cm has recorded less ER (10.20) kw. hr. /ha. The soil moisture content (16-18) % with a rotation speed of (220) rpm and tillage depth of (5-10) cm has recorded less FC (4.10) L/ha. The soil moisture content (16-18) % with a rotation speed of (220) rpm and tillage depth of (10-20) cm has recorded the highest SDV (1237.77) m3/hr. The soil moisture content (10-12) % with a rotation speed of (220) rpm and tillage depth of (5-10) cm has recorded less PSCD (67.30) %.

The objective is to study the challenges of the agricultural sector including field crops, animal production, and extension in the Nineveh plains region after ISIS liberation. Nineveh Plains is considered the "breadbasket” of Iraq, and it is one of the most fertile plains in the country. In 2014, the Nineveh Plain territory was overtaken by the Islamic State of Iraq (ISIS). Close to one million people are estimated to have fled their homes, and at least 20,000 commercial and government buildings, including schools, animal projects, and training institutions, were destroyed. To achieve sustainable agriculture development the ideal use of natural, capital, human and technical resources is necessary. Through a cultural lens, strategies to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and management of agricultural development are being explored. The overall objective of the study is to assess the livelihood of agricultural sub-sectors of rural communities, highlighting farmer needs for restoring agriculture and proposing culturally relevant interventions and solutions. This project strategically selected the districts of Al-Hamdaniya, Tilkaif, and Bashiqa to conduct interviews and needs assessments. Revolution in the agricultural sector can make it an engine of economic development. Post-conflict, agricultural expansion, and improved productivity may be achieved by focusing on agricultural promotion which includes improving the skills of farmers, the investment environment, irrigation, availability of data and information, and minimizing price distortions.

To study the effect of docking on some blood parameters, 12 Karadi lambs were docked at birth and reared by their dams till weaning, and 12 weaned intact Karadi lambs were bought from the market. Following weaning, the docked (16.83±1.522kg) and intact (19.92± 0.748kg) lambs were distributed equally into 3 treatment groups to be slaughtered at 20, 30 and 40kg. The findings demonstrated that the overall mean of serum total protein, urea, creatinine, glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL and HDL were 5.50±0.13 g/dl, 30.56±1.39, 0.79±0.05, 63.61±3.48, 30.51±3.81, 51.87±4.12, 20.29±2.83 and 34.73±3.53mg/dl, respectively. It seems that docked lambs had numerically higher serum total protein, glucose and triglyceride, and lower serum urea, creatinine, cholesterol, LDL and HDL than intact lambs. Also it was shown that an increase in live body weight resulted in a decrease in LDL, VLDL, triglyceride and cholesterol, and an increase in total protein and HDL. It can be concluded that docking has no effect on studied traits.

This study was consummated during the period 1st Sep 2021 to 1st Jul 2022, in the Field of Horticulture Department/Agriculture Engineering Science College/ Duhok University/ Kurdistan region Iraq, aiming to study the effect of three levels of NPK fertilizer (urea, triphosphate, potassium sulfate) control (0,0,0), low (100,75,50), high (200,150,100) mgl-1 and five media (clay soil, loamy soil, clay soil+ loamy soil, peat moss + clay soil + loamy soil, peat moss + clay soil + loamy soil + compost) by volume, on the growth and Gel production of two species of Aloe (Aloe vera, Aloe butteneri) plant. The results can be summarized as follow. Increased NPK to high (200,150,100) mgl-1 increased significantly leaf size, Gel fresh weight, plant growth index, and leaf area for the two species. Also, the fourth media (peat moss + clay soil + loamy soil) and fifth media (peat moss + clay soil + loamy soil + local compost) were the best media for the most of studied parameters, whereas the third media (clay soil + loamy soil) was the least effect on most of the studied parameter. Aloe vera species a significantly superior to the Aloe butteneri species in all studied parameters.

The Study’s goal was to show the effect of dietary supplementation of mixed vitamin E and Selenium powder (Sodium selenite) in Japanese quail on reproductive hormone levels. The study was conducted on a total number of (128) Japanese quail birds at 12 weeks old. The experimental birds were randomly divided into four groups (32birds /group), each group had eight replicates (1male/3 females /replicate). The four experimental diets were: T1= (Basal diet (control), T2= (vitamin E-Selenium powder 1.0 gm/kg of basal diet), T3= vitamin E-Selenium powder 1.5 gm/kg of basal diet) and T4 (vitamin E-Selenium powder 2.0 gm/kg of basal diet). The results indicated that adding vitamin E and selenium to diet (T4) significantly (P≤0.05) increased the level of plasma concentrations of Estradiol (E2), testosterone and progesterone as compared with the control group(T1) in male and female of Japanese quail. In concerned with the male group the T4 supplemented diet increased the Testosterone level significantly. There was no significant difference for the T2 and T3 in the level of testosterone and Estradiol compared to the control. Although the T2, T3 and T4 diet decreased the level of progesterone hormone significantly. There is a significant decrease of progesterone for the T3 and T4 compared to the control and T2, which lastly do not differ from the control in the female groups. It was clear that the supplemented diet with vitamin E and Selenium statistically (P<0.05) affected some reproductive hormones. So, it was recommended to perform further advanced, related, and specific nutritional studies through which accurate levels of minerals and trace minerals as supplementations will be added to the basal feed of various bird and animal species in order to increase both reproductive and productive aspects.
