This study was conducted for the purpose of evaluating infection with the parasite Fasciola spp in the city of Mosul for the period from June 2020 to June 2022. The results showed that a total of 12.30% of cattle and sheep had Fasciola eggs in their feces, with a significant difference between cattle and sheep, and the infection was high in cattle 16%. The eggs of the Fasciola species are oval, brown to yellow in color, and have an operculum. There was no significant difference in the rate of infection with the Fasciola parasite and the sex of cattle and sheep. Regarding the relationship between the rate of infection and the age of the animals infected, there were no significant differences between the infection and the age groups of the examined sheep. Whereas there was a significant difference between the cattle whose age was less than one year, one to two years old and more than two years old. The results of the serological examination of 90 blood samples of cattle and sheep showed that the seroprevalence of Fasciola in both cattle and sheep was 22.22% and 8.88%, respectively, with no difference in the incidence of infection between all the examined cattle and sheep.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the general health status of three aged female tigers around 20 years old at a local circus in Egypt for the first time. Tigers (Panthera tigris ) are one of the largest Felidae species, which are classified as Endangered species. Blood and fecal samples were collected for hematological and biochemical analysis, parasitological and bacteriological examination. The hematological results revealed macrocytic normochromic anemia and non-significant changes in leucocyte and differential leucocytic count. The biochemical analysis showed a normal level of liver enzymes. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CREA), chloride (Cl-), and cholesterol were higher than normal. On the other hand, normal Glucose (GLU), Calcium (Ca), Phosphate (PHOS), Sodium (Na+), and Potassium (K+) were observed. In addition, low levels of total carbon dioxide (tCo2) and platelets. The parasitological examination of fecal samples was negative, and tigresses were free from any external or internal parasitic infestation. Advanced studies are required to cover the complete picture of tiger status in captivity.

This study aimed to withstand some factors that may be associated with and affected the alcohol instability of milk. Both individual milk and EDTA whole blood were collected from 162 cows among 4 Holstein dairy farms that suffered from their milk rejection because of milk ethanol instability. Milk samples were subjected to the measurement of milk components, pH, somatic cell count, and total bacterial count. Thirty milk samples were subjected to the detection of AFM1. Three mixed rations from each farm were subjected to the detection of AFB1. Blood samples were subjected to genotyping of the kappa-casein gene. About 72.2% and 27.8% of samples were recorded as ethanol-stable and unstable milk. A significant reduction was observed in the protein, fat, TS, and pH of ethanol unstable versus stable milk while a significant increase in salts, SCC, and TBC was observed. A significant difference was observed in AFM1 in stable versus unstable milk. The concentration of AFB1 ranged from 18.58 ppb up to 34.58 ppb. A significant difference in protein fractions was observed. Genotyping of the kappa - casein revealed that 51, 87, and 24 cows were AA, AB, and BB genotypes. Significantly higher fat and TS percentages and a significantly lower TBC in animals with BB genotypes (p≤0.05) versus those of both AA and AB genotypes were detected. In conclusion, continuous monitoring of different milk composition parameters, udder health represented by TBC and SCC and aflatoxin load in animal feed can be the first steps toward the production of ethanol-stable milk.

The study was carried out for eight months from May to December 2020 to identify the main ectoparasite species that infest goats; for this purpose, a total of 150 local goats (Capra hircus) were thoroughly examined for the investigation of ectoparasites from ten small ruminant flocks belonging to five districts of the Sulaymaniyah governorate in northern Iraq. The goats included in the study were determined for preimaginal and adult ectoparasite stages. The observed ectoparasites were collected and preserved separately in containers with 70% ethanol and then brought to the laboratory for identification. The ectoparasite collection was done from the following regions: the ear, shoulder, neck, back, flank, thigh, and groin region. The overall prevalence rate of ectoparasite infestation was 57.33% counting 86 animals. Three different types of ectoparasites including ticks (n = 42; 48.84%), lice (n = 37; 43.02%), and fleas (n = 7; 8.14%), were identified. The higher infestation rate was due to hard ticks (Ixodidae). The identified ticks belonged to five species and Rhipicephalus spp. were widely distributed with the highest reported numbers as follows: Rhipicephalus sanguinaus 14 (16.28%), R. turanicus 11 (12.79%), R. bursa 7 (8.14%), Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus 4 (4.65%), and Hyalomma anatolicum 6 (6.98%). Two species of lice belonging to sucking lice, Linognathus stenopsis 22 (25.58%) and chewing lice of Bovicola caprae 15 (17.44%), were reported. The only identified flea species from the study was Ctenocephalides canis which was reported in 7 (8.14%). Recognized ectoparasites affect the health status and productivity of goats.

There are several health problems and economic losses, which are caused by bacterial species on chicken meat. The obligation to reduce the initial load of bacteria should be taken into serious consideration. So, the aim of this work was to detect the incidence of Salmonella spp in chicken meat parts with detection of their virulence genes, which were 4%, 8% and 6% in chicken fillet, thigh and drumsticks respectively, with detection of virulence genes % in isolates. This study is an attempt to evaluate the antibacterial effect against Salmonella Typhimurium by soaking chicken breast in acetic acid, citric acid and fumaric acid (1% & 2%) solutions for 15 seconds, as well as on sensory properties. The treatments reduced Salmonella counts effectively. Logarithmic reduction values of Salmonella, for acetic acid 1%, acetic acid 2%, citric acid 1%, citric acid 2%, fumaric acid 1%, and fumaric acid 2% were 0.82, 1.88, 1.07, 2.19, 0.91, and 2.85 log CFU/g, respectively.
