Bovine rotavirus was successfully isolated in vero cell line and secondary calf kidney cell culture from faecal samples of newly bom calves affected with diarrhoea. The isolated viruses were cultivated from cell culture produced cytopathogenic effect which consisted of cytoplasmic granulation degeneration and detachment of infected cells from monolayer cell culture. The rotavirus was identified by indirect immunofluorecent test (IFT) and neutralization test (NT) by using reference hyperimmunser.

Immunofluorescence on incoulated cell cultures, latex agglutination test and enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) were compared for the detection of rotavirus antigen in faecal sample from new born calves. Rotavirus were detected in 20 faecal sample by immunfluorescence test, latex agglutination test demonstrated rotavirus in 27 faecal sample, and rotavirus were detected in 29 out of 82 faecal sample by ELISA.

The stomach, small and large intestine of 140 donkeys were examined for Gastrophilus larvae. The rate of infection was 45%, 6.4% and 7.8% for Gastrophilus intestinalis, G. nasalis G. pecorum, respectively, with the mean larval counts of 3rd instars; 25.8, 10.4 and 27.7, for the respective species. Excepting the month October, third instars of G. intestinalis were found throughout the year. The peak of infection (87.5%) was recorded in February, while the lowest rate (7.1%) was in November. This rate and mean larval burden seemed to decline with the age of the host. The sex of the animals had no effect on the rate of infection. G. pecorum, and G. nasalis are reported for the first time in Iraq and occurred only during the months of June, August and September.

Electrophoretic Pattern of Serum proteins were studied in thirty normal Arabian race horses. The resolution of the serum protein fractions in 24 (80%) of horses, group I revealed five fractions, albumin and the globulins (a1, a2, B and y). The total serum protein was ranged from ( 6.2-8.4 gm/dL) with mean (7.57 ±0.17) in the this group of horses. Where-as four fractions, albumin and the globulins (a2, B and y) were observed in 6(20%) of horses, group 2. The total serum protein was ranged from (6.0 - 7.4 gm/dL) with mean (6.76 ± 0.27) in that group of horses. The Albumin/Globulin ratio in both Groups was (0.66 ±0.13); (0.89 ± 0.07), respectively.

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 cytology and histopathological examinations revealed that the mares suffered from acute endometritis. Each mare was subjected to an intrauterine lavage with 500-1000 ml of sterile saline solution in combination with an intravenous injection of 20 I.U. of oxytocin within 12-24 hours after mating. The mares expelled most of the flushed fluid within 20 -30 minutes of oxytocin injection. Eighteen of the treated mares, 13 (72%) conceived after mating on one estrous period. Results of this study indicates that removing intrauterine fluid containing inflammatory by-products by saline lavage and inducing uterine contractions with oxytocin after mating improved conception rates in infertile mares.

The pathological and histochemical changes inthe lung of ten guinea pigs have been investigated after using viable Nocardia asteroides in a dose of 1.5*108 cfc, thebacteria was injected intrapulmonary. Lesions of pyogranuloma were developed. Histochemical studies showed that the granules of goblet cells and mucos glands of lung contain a mixture of neutral and sialomucin normal animal , these types of mucin changed to sialomucin and sulfomucin inthe infected animals.

Fourteen different bacterial species were used in a study of their abilities to survive on cement and porcelain surfaces. A dose of 5x10 cfu/drop (50 ul) for each species was used to contaminate each surface. The bacteria used included: Bacillus subtilis, Brucella abortus, Coraynebacterium pyogenes, E.coli, Klebsiella pnemmoniae, Listeria monocytogenes, Pasteurella multocida, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aergenosa, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococus aureus, Staph. Epidermidis, Streptococcus equi & Strept. Zooepidemicus. After 7, 14 and 21 days of storage at 4°C, subsamples were cultured onto different types of media, and after 24-48 hr. of incubation at 37°C, growth or no growth were scored for each type of bacteria used. Results showed that B. subtilis, Staph.epidermidis & Strept. zooepdemicus were recovered from all surfaces up till 21-day storage. E. coli, Pr.vulgaris, Staph. aureus & Strept.equi were recovered only from Porcelaim surfaces throughout the whole experiment, whereas Past. multocida was recovered at all times from cement surfaces only. Br. abortus was recovered only from cement surfaces after 7 & 14 days of storage, but was never isolated from contaminated Porcelain surfaces. Kl. pneumoniae was isolated from Porcelain surfaces at all times, but only after 7-day- storage from cement surfaces. On the other hand, L. monocytogenes was never recovered from any surface at any time of storage.

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 first was infected with 500 larvae / Kg Haemonchus contortus & the second was used as a control. Egg G. fecal sample, staple length, P. c. v. Hb; weight gain were recorded weekly for 13 week post infection. Results revealed that all sheep traits of low level nutrition were significantly (P<0.01) more affected than high level nutrition group. Awassi breed was more reistant to infection with H. contortus than Hamdani & Karadi breeds.

Lysozyme and avidin were initially separated from egg white by cation exchange chromatography (Doulite C-464). Avidin was then isolated from lysozyme in pure form by immobilized metal affinity chromatography column (1.5 x 10cm) loaded with copper ions. The column was equilibrated with 0.02M phosphate buffer pH 7.7, containing 0.5M NaCl. Protein fraction obtained from Doulite column was applied on IMAC column, followed by washing with the starting buffer and eluting with pH gradient with 0.1M Acetic acid. Two peaks were obtained, the first peak represents the avidin, while the second peak represents the lysozyme as tested by SDS-PAGA and HABA assay. The purity of avidin was increased to 75% by the IMAC process.

Study was conducted on 149 case of cross breed bovine dystocia referred to Department of Theriogenology, College of Veterinary Medicine and Al-Wihda Cattle station, Baghdad, Iraq. Results showed that 87.5% of bovine dystocia were successfully relieved by cesarean section (C.S), 85.5% success was achieved by correction an traction, 71.4% by fetotomy and 50% by hormonal treatment. Most of the cases subjected to C.S, were heifers. Details concerning number of cases subjected to C.S, indications, positive response, state of pregnancy, number of claves recovered, number of male/female and survival rate of claves were listed in two enclosed tables. From results we may conclude that C.S was the best indicative treatment of dystocia, particularly when all the trails and efforts of treatments failed, inspite of the reasonable results obtained from various treatments mentioned in other cases
