Light and electron microscopic examinations were performed on kidneys of sheep infected with caseous lymphadenitis ( CLA ) caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis Membranproliferative glomerulonephritis was demonstrated. There were irregular thickenings of the glomeruelar basement membrane and glomerular cell proliferation, in contrast, no such lesions were found in the control lambs, indicating that CLA play a role in inducing glomerulorephritis

Specific transfer factor (TF) extracted from spleens of sensitized and non-sensitized guinea pigs to study the efficacy of transfer of cellular immunity specific for salmonella . Two groups each of five guinea pigs were used for in vivo TF preparation. The First group was inoculated with 1 ml of aromatic dependent Salmonella typhimurium SL 1479 vaccine at a dose of 10' cfu/ml intramuscularly twice at two weeks intervals. The second group was injected with trypticase soy broth similarly . These two groups used as a donor for TF, and TFn respectively. Twenty one recipient guinea pigs were divided into three groups, the first group was TF at a dose of 1 ml equivalent to 5X10 cell intramuscularly three times/2 days intervals, Similarly the second group was given TF, where as the third group was given PBS- Cell mediated immunity in recipient animal was evaluated by delayed type hypersensitivity - skin test, Macrophage migration inhibition test (MIF) and then challenged with virulent Salmonella typhimurium. The TFt recipient group induced skin test and showed migration indices less than 0.8 and overcome the challenge organism. Contrary to TFn & PBS recipient groups which did not show any response for skin test and given migration indices more than 0.8 and did not show resistance for virulent Salmonella typhimurium .

In this study, the potential protective effect of aqueous extract of parsley (Petroselinum sativum) seeds against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) – induced oxidative stress in male rats was assessed. Three groups of male albino rats were randomly divided (n=7) and were handled for twenty-eight days as follows: rats in group I served as control; animals in group || were provided with drinking water containing 0.5% H2O2 and those in group III received orally 8 mg/100 gm B.W. of aqueous extract of parsley seeds plus 0.5% H2O2 in drinking water. After four weeks experimental period, a significant increase in lipid peroxidation products (MDA), and decrease in glutathione (GSH) concentrations were observed in plasma, kidney, liver and heart tissues of H2O2 treated animals as compared with the control group. These biomarkers (GSH and MDA) are interrelated and indicate the occurrence of oxidative stress. Plasma total cholesterol (TC) concentration was significantly increased in H2O2 treated rats. By administration of aqueous extract of parsley along with H2O2, plasma and tissue GSH levels were significantly increased while the elevation in MDA level was diminished in plasma and different tissues examined. A decrease in plasma cholesterol concentration was recorded in H2O2 and parsley treated group as compared with the control one and H2O2 treated groups. These results indicate that aqueous extract of parsley have hypocholesterolemic and antioxidant effect.

Repeated breeder dairy cows (96) were used in this study. They were diagnosed clinically as cases of delayed ovulation and divided into five groups according to type of treatment used post insemination. Group one which includes 28 cow (1=28) treated with 1 vial of fertagyl, (2=22) treated with 2 vials of fertagyl, (3=19) treated with 5 ml of chorionic gonadotropin, (4=17) treated with 1 vial of Nymfalom and (5=10) treated with 1 vial of chorulon. Results showed that the number of cows which did not return to estrus (responded) were 16(57.14%), 12(54.54%), 9(47.47%), 12(70.6%) and 4(40%) respectively. Treatment and insemination were repeated to a number of unresponded cows and their results revealed response of 3 cows (27.27%) from group (1=11), response of 4 cows (50%) from group (2=8), response of 3 cows (42.85%) from group (3=7), response of 1 cow (20%) from group (4=5) and response of 2 (50%) from group (5=4). Data concerning the number, type, sex and viability of the offspring born from the treated cows were included in this study. Finally we may conclude that Nymfalon showed better result in treating cases of delayed ovulation and in improving their conception and pregnancy rate. The remaining treatments were also advisable in the absence of Nymfalon. The use of the same treatment again was also beneficial in some unresponded cases.

A comparative trial between the effect of 3rd stage Dictyocaulus filaria larval vaccine attenuated by continuous emission of visible Helium – Neon Laser of ImW and wave length of ( 632.8 ) nm of (5) minutes exposure that of gamma attenuated larvae at 0.5 k. gray ( Co as radiation Source ) was designed. Each of the two attenuated larval vaccines was given to a group of ( 5 ) kids each . Double immunization doses at ( 35 ) days interval from each vaccine were given orally. The first dose contained ( 1000 ) larvae and the second one ( 2000 ) for each . A challenge dose of ( 100 ) non- irradiated larvae /kg body weight was given after ( 5 ) week to the vaccinated groups and a control non- vaccinated (5 kids ) 3rd group. All animals were slaughtered after 6 weeks post challenge. Results showed that both vaccines revealed 80.7% and 78.1% protection respectively for worm burden as compared to control. Laser attenuated vaccine exhibited a statistically significant inhibition in the fecundity of female worms and larvae secretion in faeces in comparison with the gamma irradiated vaccine.

Effect of penicillin- ciprofloxacin combinations on some semen characteristics and bacterial contaminants of diluted bull semen was determined and compared with those of penicillin- streptomycin combinations. Sperm motility, percentage of dead and abnormal spermatozoa and survival index did not differ significantly for penicillin (1000 IU) and ciprofloxacin (125, 250, 500, 1000 ug) combinations per milliliter of diluted bull semen from those of penicillin (1000 I.U) and streptomycin (500 ug) combination / ml. Each penicillin ciprofloxacin combination effectively controlled bacterial growth. However penicillin streptomycin combination did not effectively control the growth. Accordingly, the combination of penicillin- ciprofloxacin seems to be a satisfactory substituent for penicillin- streptomycin combination for controlling bacterial contaminants in diluted bull semen without impairing semen characteristics.

The classical method of aquaculture in Iraq employed Cyprinus carpio L. (Common carp) as monoculture or as predominat species togather with grass carp and silver carp. In the present study monoculture of grass carp was performed. Three - hundreds fingerlings of grass carp of 1.5 g weight were cultured in about 600 m2 eartheen pond from 20th of June till 9th of November, 1997. For the first two months of the experiment, no additional feed was added to what had been available in the pond. For the rest of the culture period, 1773 kg of five species of plants were utilized. They were included 91 kg of Phargmites australis, 972 kg of Paspalim sp., 423 kg of Medicago sativa, 171 kg of Ceratophyllum demersum and 116 kg of Paspalum Paspaloides. In addition to that a total of 150 kg of manure was used as a fertilizer in three occasions. At the end of the experiment the average weight of the fishes was 498 gm ranged from 370 gm to 980 gm. Further study was commence where 300 fingerlings of grass carp weighting 34 gm as an average were cultured together with 50 fingerlings of silver carp (average weight 92 gm). The experiment January 1998. For the first two months of experiment the fishes didn't consume began in additional food probably due to the low temperature of water during this period.

In an experimental study to evaluate the immunopathological effect of transfer factor on the reticuloendothelial organs of white mice and their protection against their challenge infection with Salmonella typhi. The results of this study were showed the followings: 1. Transfer factor recipient group: it was showed an early granulomatous lesions in the liver. Reactive hyperplasia in the T cell regions of the spleen and mediastinal lymph node. The early granulomas were persisted during 7th day and slightly regressed on 14th day postinoculation. 2. Infected group with S. typhi: It was showed a multifocal microabscesses consisted of aggregates of neutrophils in the focal area of necrosis, which was evident during 7th day and gradually transform into granulomas on 14th day postinoculation. 3. Transfer factor recipient and challenge infection group: It was showed well developed granulomatous reactions, which indicate an emergence of cellular immunity (delayed type hypersensitivity reaction). These granulomas were more evident on 7th day and slightly regressed on 14th day postinoculation; providing a transfer factor role in tissue reaction and termination of infection.
