The present study was carried out to identify the morphological description and histological structureof liver and pancreas in mongoose . Six adult males mongoose from Al-Basra province were used inthis study and were transferred to the anatomy branch of veterinary medicine, and were sacrificed forcollecting the livers , pancreas and fixation 10% formalin. The morphological study revealed that theliver in adult mongoose was located in cranial part of abdominal cavity , caudal and ventrally to theheart and was associated with stomach .the mongoose's liver is composed of six chief lobes.Histological examination result revealed that the liver consist of several lobules separated from eachother by trabeculae of connective tissue extend from the basic unit of the parenchyma of liver ishepatocyte which arranged in plates or cords like that radiated around the central vein and betweenthese cords there is sinusoids lined by a layer of fenestrated endothelial cells and Kupffer's cells .in theboundary of each lobule showed portal area which consist of hepatic artery : hepatic vein and bile ductlining by cuboidal cells .The result appeared that the pancreas in adult mongoose is roughly U in shape, it has yellow palecolor and lies rather to the dorsal side of the duodenum, between it and the stomach . it has divided intothree parts, the right lobe, body, and left lobe . the pancreas is composed exocrine and endocrine tissues.The exocrine portion consists of clusters of pyramidal cells, which are mostly organized in acini. thecells have a dark basophilic cytoplasm, distinct basal nuclei, and many large eosinophilic zymogengranules containing enzymes ,Trypsinogen and Chymotrypsinogen responsible for the digestion ofproteins, carbohydrates, fats and nucleotides. The endocrine portion of the pancreas consist of smallclusters of glandular epithelial cells called pancreatic islets (islets of Langerhans). However , the lackof studies in Iraq on this type, so this study came to provide us with information on the major glands ofthe digestive system.

Logarithmic statisticaltherapy recording an effective tool we are used for combat metabolic alkalosis incattle.It was concluded from the current study that supposed therapeutic therapy waseffective in the correction and treatment of metabolic alkalosis in cows without lessside effects.

The study was designed to assess the hygienic condition of local and imported tableegg-shell at Mosul markets. Two hundred local and imported eggs were randomlycollected from the markets and transferred immediately to the scientific research unitin the college of Veterinary medicine / University of Mosul for bacteriologicalexamination. Total counts using four types of medias were used: Standard Plate Countager (SPC), Mac Conkey ager, Violet Red Bile Glucose ager (VRBG) and TryptoneBile X-glucoronide (TBX) for Escherichia coli and fecal coliform bacteria. Resultsshowed that the means of total viable coliform and E. coli bacterial count in the localegg-shell at different markets ranged from 0.3 to 3 x107 on SPC agar, 0.08-10x107 onMac Conkey ager, 0.014-3x105 on (VRBG) and 0.3-7x104 on (TBX) compared with0.032-5x107 on SPC agar, 0.03-3.3x105 on Mac Conkey ager, 0.014-5.9x104 on(VRBG) with no growth on (TBX) for coliform and E. coli in the imported table-eggshell at different markets. Biochemical tests for local and imported table egg-shellwere performed. It was concluded that the rate of contamination in the local tableeggs was more than the imported one and the isolates of E. coli bacteria were obtainedonly from local eggs on the TBX medium.

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of add supplement (FCS andE2) on culture media (Ham’s F-10 and DMEM) on in vitro maturation , in vitrofertilization(IVF) and embryo development. This study was conducted at thelaboratories of Theriogenology, Department of Surgery and Obstetrics, College ofVeterinary Medicine, Basrah University, during the period extended from January2017 to the end of April 2018. The samples of study were female reproductive systemand male testis (150 Ovaries and 30 testes) collected from (Al-Basrah abattoir house)after slaughter at fifteen minutes. All samples were transported in sterilize and cleancool boxes at (4-8ºC) within 1-2hrs to the center research unit. Oocytes were collectedby aspiration method. Only grad A and B quality oocytes were selected and incubatedin an appropriate maturation medium (Ham’s F-10 and DMEM) at (38.5 C), 5% CO2and 95% relative humidity for 24-28 hrs. Spermatozoa were obtained by slicing ofcaudal epididymal of buffalo's bull. Sperms with matured oocytes were incubated inan appropriate maturation medium at (38.5 C), 5% CO2 and 95% relative humidityfor 16 -20 hrs. then the fertilized ova were re-incubated in fresh media with changes50% of media every day and examined every 24hrs for( 4) days to follow embryonicdevelopment The results showed:There was high significant (P<0.01) difference in the percentage of Oocytesmaturation in Ham’s F-10 and DMEM with supplement (FCS and E2) media groupscompared with control media groups. The results also showed highsignificant(P<0.01) difference in the percentage of Oocytes fertilized in Ham’s F-10 and DMEM supplement (FCS and E2) media groups compared with control mediagroups.

This study was undertaken to investigate the possible protective effect of Ocimum basilicumseeds oil and Linum usitatissimum seeds oil on heart function, antioxidant and lipid profile test, wheninduced acute myocardial infarction in rabbits by isoproterenol. Thirty-six male rabbits were dividedinto six groups: group (C): control negative, group (ISO): received isoproterenol (control positive),(BP) group: basil seed oil protective group, (FP) group: flaxseed oil protective group, (BT) group:basil seed oil treated group and (FT) group: flaxseed oil treated group. ECG and blood samplestropnine I, antioxidant enzymes and lipid profile were done. The analysis of ECG in rabbits treatedwith isoproterenol showed T wave inversion and an increase in heart rate. While rabbits treated withbasil oil and flaxseed oil restored T wave and heart rate to near normal. The results of the experimentrevealed that administration of basil oil and flaxseed oil in all groups caused a significant decrease(p˂0.05) in cardiac troponin I and lipid profile (TC, TG, LDL, VLDL) and significant increase(p˂0.05) in HDL and antioxidant enzymes Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) and SuperoxideDismutase (SOD) compare with ISO group. The study concluded the basil oil and flaxseed oil havecardioprotective and ameliorative effects against acute myocardial infarction induced byisoproterenol in experimental animals

Parabronema skrjabini is a spirurid nematode of the family Habronematidae thatlives in the abomasum of ruminants such as sheep and goats. The purpose of this studywas to investigate the molecular aspects of Parabronema skrjabini in Basrah. Theworms were collected from slaughtered sheep and goats in Basrah slaughter housebetween the period from June, 2016 to January, 2017, with total number of abomasum'sexamined sheep (576) and goat ( 150 ). An internal transcribed spacer 2 ribosomalDNA (ITS2-rDNA) fragment of P. skrjabini was amplified by polymerase chainreaction (PCR) using a pair of specific primers (Para-Ir-R and Para-Ir-F). ITS2-rDNAsequences by using PCR technique assay which based on a 783-bp long sequence ofthe 28S rRNA gene, the total genomic DNA has been extracted by extracting kit withsome modification. ITS2 homology in different isolates was between (81–86%)compared with the sequence data in GenBank. To our knowledge, this is the first studyin Iraq exploring the genetic diversity of Parabronema in sheep and goats.

This investigation was carried out to point out structural histomorphological changes that take place in the ovaries of female local rabbits at three different postnatal periods of their life that were kitten, immature and mature does. To conduct such project, 24 rabbits were collected (8 for each age) from the local breeders. Rabbits were euthanized, dissected and subsequently ovaries were collected and fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin then subjected to routine processing such as dehydration, clearing, embedding and block preparation. Finally, sections of 6 µm were prepared and stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson’s trichrome stains. Gross findings showed two functional bilateral elongated triangular-shaped ovaries situated in the abdominal cavity suspended by mesovarian ligament with absence of true ovarian bursa. Microscopic findings revealed prominent structural changes in the ovaries of immature does compared to those of kittens and mature does indicated that immature does after the period of weaning face great developmental growth and changes. The data showed the presence of pre-ovulatory follicles in the mature does and no signs of ovulation because these animals are induced ovulators and that does subjected to the study were all virgin and not allowed for mating with the males.

The present study designed to investigate the effects of the extracted policosanol on the lipid profile of hypercholesterolemic lactating female rats (Ratus norvigicus). Forty-eight female rat (10-12) weeks old, and weighting (200-250 gm) were used in the current study. After daily vaginal smear for 3 sequences estrus cycles, they mated with twenty-four healthy adult fertile males weighting (280-350 gm), 24 of these females were induced to be hypercholesterolemic during the pregnancy, and others still healthy. Sugarcane was collected from Mesan province and policosanol was extracted from sugarcane wax. Immediately after birth, the animals were divided into 6  groups: Group 1 (n=8) (Control): Normal rats were given only 0.5 ml/ animal of Dimethyl Sulphoxide (DMSO) daily immediately after birth. Group 2 (n=8) hyperchol. (HC): Hpercholestrolemic rats were given only DMSO 0.5 ml/ animal daily immediately after birth. Group 3(n=8) (HC+SM): Hpercholestrolemic rats were given simvastatin at dose 20mg/kg BW/ day dissolved in DMSO orally by gavages' immediately after birth. Group 4(n=8) (SM): Normal rats were given only simvastatin at dose 20mg/kg BW/ day dissolve xsqqs ed in DMSO orally by gavages' immediately after birth. Group 5 (n= 8) (HC+ST. pol): Hypercholesterolemic rats were given standard policosanol at dose 20mg/kg BW/day orally by gavages' immediately after birth. Finally, group 6(n=8)( HC+EX. pol): Hypercholesterolemic rats were given policosanol extraction at dose 20mg/kg BW/day orally by gavages immediately after birth.  The treatment continued until weaning ( 30 days). All animals were then sacrificed and blood samples were collected for measuring of lipid parameters. Total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) in all groups. Results revealed a significant improvement in TC level was recorded in (HC+SM) group and no difference was observed as compared with the control group. While the level of TC in (SM), (HC+ST.pol) and (HC+EX.pol) treated groups decreased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) compared with the control group, (HC) and (HC+SM) treated groups. No significant differences in HDL-C were observed between (HC+EX.pol) and control group. While the level of HDL-C still significantly lower in all other treated groups compared with the control group. A significant reduction (p ≤ 0.05) in LDL-C level was recorded in all treated groups compared with (HC) group. No significant differences were observed in LDL-C between (SM), (HC+ST. pol) and (HC+EX.pol) compared with the control group. While the LDL-C still significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) in (HC+SM) compared with the control group. Levels of triglyceride (TG) in (HC+SM),(HC+ST.pol) and (HC+EX.pol) treated groups recorded a significant elevation ( p≤ 0.05)  as compared with the control group. While levels of TG in (SM) treated group was significantly decreased (p≤0.05) as compared with the control group. Conclusion: local sugar cane can be used to extract the policosanol which has an antihyperlipidemic effect on hypercholesterolemic lactating female rats.

The study was performed to the study synergistic effect of Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid  (EDTA) and Imipenem against Pseudomonas aeruginosa were  isolated from cheese at Hilla province. Cheese samples 70 were collected randomly from (Retail, supermarkets and dairy shops) in Hilla and were transported to the laboratory.     The result revealed (45%)   Pseudomonas aeruginous detecte were collected from cheese. These isolates were tested for disk diffusion method for susceptibility of  imipenem. Eight isolates  were  resistant , and  (84.3%) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain were sensitive  (84.3%)  to EDTA alone.     Also, the result showed of Synergistic EDTA- IMP disc diffusion against (8) isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa revealed (87.5%) isolates were sensitive. However; the The result showed significant (P < 0.05) of susceptibility to (8) P. aeruginosa isolates to imipenem with and without EDTA. In conclusion, according to the present study can use oxidant agent inhibition of growth bacteria specific P. aeruginosa such as ethylene diamene tetra acidic acid (EDTA) and can used in preserving food specific sold cheese.
