Abstract

An attempt was made to investigate the effect of use Magnetic water and feed restriction time on carcasses of broiler chicks. 216 unsexed chicks of Ross 308 strain at one day aged were used in the study. Treatment was T1: Continuous feeding + Tap water. T2: Continuous feeding + magnetic water. T3: feed withdrawal [no feeding from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (8 hours)] + Tap water. T4: Feed withdrawal [no feeding from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (8 hours)] + Magnetic water. T5: Continuous feed two days and withdrawal one day + Tap water. T6: Continuous feed two days and withdrawal one day + magnetic water. Significantly affected (P> 0.05) of magnetic water was observed on relative weight of breast heart, liver. However, this treatment significantly decrease (P> 0.05) the relative weight of abdominal fat, as compared to tap water. Significantly reductions were recorded (P<0.05) in relative weight of breast, Leg, liver, heart, gizzard , abdominal , fat. On the other hands significantly increase (P > 0.05) was found in relative weight of bursa gland of two restriction treatments, as compared to continuous feed (control). Significant affect (P>0.05) was found between water quality and time restriction feed period on the characteristics of carcasses broiler

Abstract

The study objective was to explore the effects of toluene on cytogenetic status incluin mitotic index, blast index, chromosomal aberration and DNA damaged, one hundred eighty adult female albino mice. They were selected randomly, equally, and then allocated into three bunches each was divided into three groups to represent control group, group 1 (G1) and group 2 (G2) administration from (LD50). These were administrated orally and continuously for 60 days with toluene at doses of 0.1 ml / kg B.W. ,and  0,2 ml / Kg B.W.  Control group received olive oil and distilled water, G1 oral administration from LD50 daily for 30 days and G2 oral administration from LD50 daily for 60 days. Fasting blood samples collected by cardiac puncture technique at 0, 30 and 60 days of experimental.  Blood drawn by cardiac puncture technique for measuring some parameters related to toluene toxicity on reproductive organ and cytogenetic status at 60 days. The occurrence of toxic effects of toluene manifested by central nervous sings including abnormal gait of animals in cage, tremor, ataxia and convulsion, rapid and shallow respiration, irritation of eye, as well as structural pathological changes in uterus and ovaries tissues sections including enlargement of ovaries with adhesion  edematous, sloughing of endometrium, pyometria, necrosis, degeneration of ovaries cells with lymphocytic (infiltration and  coughing)  around blood vessels and lymphocytic granuloma with peritonitis , the results also showed  toxicity effects of toluene on mitotic index , blast index , significant increase in chromosomal aberration mostly fragment  and DNA damaged represented by (tail length ,tail intensity and tail movement).

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in Al- Muthanna province.  at sweer river during the growing season of 2016. The experiment was carried to evaluate efficiency of some plants water extracts (Caper seeds, Garlic) and urea treated with DMPP on ammonia volatilization in soil. Plants extracts were applied at rate of 1:10 (extract: urea). Conventional urea and urea with extracts and DMPP were applied at levels of   80, 160, 240 Kg N h ^{– 1} with two dose. . Factorial Experiment carried out according to RCBD with three replications. Ammonia volatilization was estimated on periods of 1, 8, 15, 23, 30, 31, 38, 45, 53, and 60 day after addition. Water extract of caper seeds significantly reduced ammonia volatilization , as compared to DMPP  and Plants fertilized with level 80 to 160 and 240 Kg N h ^– ,  which revealed the highest ammonia volatilization

Abstract

The study was carried out in the first Agricultural station followed experiment research, Agriculture College, AlMuthanna  University and in a Laboratory dealing with the analysis of molecular genetic from 01/11/2015 until 30/8 /2016. The objective of this study was to identify  and to determine the relationship between genetic markers HSC, MAF035 and BM1818 with loci (2.3, 4 and 5) , (2,3and 4) and (3,4and 5) allele respectively and Some of growth properties. Results showed significant superiority (P≤0.05) for marker HSC in genetic sites 5 allele  in some of growth properties represented by rate of  body increasing of infants on the other ewes carrying genetic locations, which varied among them in other qualities. The presence significant (P≤0.05) for marker MAF035 in genetic site 4 allele in birth weight and weight increasing of infants at weaning on the ewes carrying two others, the presence of significant superiority (P≤0.01) for marker BM1818 in ewes carrying site genetic 5 allele in weight at birth the superiority of significant (P≤0.05) in weight at weaning on the ewes carrying others location

Abstract

This research included a comparison between the chemical and physical properties (water quality) of the ground water (the wells water) in the different parts of the Samawa desert to compare the quality of Samawa ground water with the limited quality of World Health Organization (WHO) for drinking water. Several parameters are made for (16) wells and (3) artesian wells which are located in the different regions of Samawa desert depending on the scientific methods of sample collection in mid – February (2016). In this research, information about the location and geological aspects of Samawa desert are provided. The results showed that there are differences in the ground water aspects (chemical and physical aspects) among wells water and most of the wells water was a saline water generally in comparison with the WHO limits. However, there are three wells possesses a good quality of water and matching with WHO limits.

Abstract

This study was conducted at the laboratory of graduate studies, department of animal production / College of agriculture, University of Al-Muthanna for the period from 17/2 until 14/9/ 2016 to investigate the ability of cryopreservation of epididymis sperms for Iraqi camels and the effect of adding of honey bee (HB) to the cryopreservation solution. The testes were collected from the abattoir directly after slaughtering of animals and transferred to the laboratory in Proper temperature. the sperms were collected from the cauda of epididymis and immerged in culture medium previously prepared .the experiment was divided in to four treatments, the first before cryopreservation (control), the second cryopreservation solution only, the third cryopreservation solution with 5{8aa0d92a9d700de00931fb59e75e46e902b43698544c97f28f7bec3700555d1d} honey bee concentration, the fourth cryopreservation solution with 10{8aa0d92a9d700de00931fb59e75e46e902b43698544c97f28f7bec3700555d1d} honey bee .The results of the study showed significant superiority )P≤0.05( for four treatment (10{8aa0d92a9d700de00931fb59e75e46e902b43698544c97f28f7bec3700555d1d}) on the second and third treatments in the individual motility, mass motility , agglutination, sperm morphology and viability. The individual motility types A,B,C were 12.66 ± 0. 76, 16.04 ± 0.86 and 16.83 ± 0.48 respectively, and for mass motility, agglutination, sperm morphology and viability were 58.00±2.00, 73.66 ± 0.42 , 46.50 ±0.42 respectively .

Abstract

Twenty Two heads of local goats and sixteen of Awassi ewes belong to the Department of Animal Production/ College of Agriculture/ University of Al-Qadisiyah have been used in this study during birth season of the year 2013-2014, to study some factors affecting milk production and the growth of births during lactation period and to predict the milk production and the growth of births. Age of dam, sex of birth and type of birth were significantly affected (P<0.01) the total and daily milk production in goats, and this significant influence varies with the varying factors of the partial milk. The age of dam and birth’s sex affect significantly affected the total and daily milk production in sheep, type of birth (P<0.01). Significant influence of varying age of dam and type of birth were observed on the partial. Sheep was excelled over goats significantly in weight of the offspring at the measurement periods 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 days, respectively. The age of dam and birth’s sex and type of birth had significant effects (P<0.01) on the offspring’s weight at all measurement intervals from birth until weaning at 90 days in goats. The birth type significantly (P<0.01) affected the offspring’s weight at all the measurement intervals from birth until weaning at 90 days in sheep. The best prediction equations have been determined of the total milk production through partial milk and births weights during lactation, as well as weaning weight via the previous weights.
