The objective of this study was to investigate infectious keratoconjunctivitis in local buffaloes breed in Mosul (Mosul-Iraq). The study was conducted on (360) local buffaloes breed of different ages and both sexes. Animals were belong to different privet farms in Mosul area, and reared indoor or grazed during the day light. Result revealed that out of (360) animals, (80) animals have been exhibited the clinical sings of keratoconjusnctivitis, with a prevalence rate of (22.2%). Diseased animals show sings of, conjunctival hyperemia, serious, mucoid and/or purulent ocular secretions, photophobia, blepherospasim, congregation of flies on the eyes, edematous eyes anxiety, and corneal opacity. Results were also indicated different causative agents which were responsible for the disease, Morexella spp., Corynebacterium spp., Listeria spp and E.coli. being the most important and common isolated, moreover Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Niesseria spp. Actinobacillus spp., Klebseilla spp., and Proteus spp., were also detected.

The aim of this study is to point out the dangers of accumulative intake of excessive amount of Nacl either by drinking water or ration which can lead to many pathological tissue changes of body organs. Three groups of laboratory animals mostly male (3 mices for each group); distributed as high dose fed animals, Intermediate dose fed animals, and control group and this experiment continue for six months. Taken autopsy showed may gross changes characterized by regions of pale areas in liver with enlarged kidney, while microscopic findings appeared in several body organs; kidney, liver, heart, skeletal muscles, skin but were predominately in kidney which varied as being illustrated in figures with comments.

Study included Basrah provinces ( Fao, Abo-alkhaseib , Shatt –Al-arab, Alzubair , Deir ,Hartha,Alqurna,Almudaina,and center of Basrah)2004-2009.3453 cases ,(217 goats,80 dogs,40 baffalo,658cattle,2432 sheep, 15 horses,1 camel)were diagnosed with OWS. Lesions of myaisis were included ( cutaneous ,uterine, ear, eyes, oral cavity, udder and foot). Myaisis in dogs and buffalos with OWS because of ticks bites or FMD disease lesion. Suitable environment temperatures (30 C) (0 – 60 c). Although humidity (56%)( 22-90 %) as well as wind speed (5,25 m/Se)( 3,8-6,7 m/Se). This study improve that OWS survive in high temperatures ( 30 - 60 C) and low temperature (0 C)and infected all type in different types of animals with different cases of myiasis .Eradication of myaisis in last of that study be sure with use technique new method by vertical and horizontal spray of insecticides material with local treatment take good results healing in short time. No case detected from 2007-2009 with this technique

Infectious bronchitis (IB) is one of the most common viral diseases of poultry. The objective of this study was to estimate the distribution of avian infectious bronchitis virus isolate in experimentally infected chicken. Twenty-one-day-old commercial broilers were divided randomly into two groups (fifty in the experimental and twenty in the control group). Chicks in the experimental group were inoculated intranasal with 106 ELD50/0.1 mL of the virus. The samples from different tissues were collected at day 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 20 postinoculation. Chickens showed mild respiratory signs and depression. Viral RNA was detected in the kidney, lung and tracheas. The most important clinical signs and virus finding appeared on day 1 pi. Data showed that the number of infected chickens and viral RNA detection from tissues was reduced with increasing antibody titer on day 20 pi. The results demonstrated that the IB virus has wide tissue distribution for respiratory, urogenital, and digestive systems.

This study was conducted to determine the concentration of Cd, Pb and Zn (using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer ASS) in nine brands of chicken livers: (Keyf-i Gezzet, Al Murad, Al Kafeel, Sadia 2, Sadia 1, Karbala, Halal, Faqeeh, in addition to livers of locally breed chicken), which are widely consumed from the local markets of Basrah city. The levels of metals in the chicken livers were ranged between (0.004) μg/g and (0.124) μg/g for Cd; (0.171) μg/g and (3.269) μg/g for Pb; and (4.116) μg/g and (3.266) μg/g for Zn. The results showed that concentration of Pb in four brands exceeded the permissible limits set by WHO/FAO (1) and ANZFA (2). The concentrations of Cd and Zn in all samples were within the tolerance limits.

he present study was planned to determine serum Micro mineral status (copper and zinc) of the sheep grown up in Thi_Qar villages .The serum copper &zinc values of the animals were analyzed .with atomic absorption spectrophotometer . The result showed there were non significant differences in all mean serum values of sheep except the mean serum values for animal which showed clinical sings were decrease significantly when compared with other animal which whereby not shown clinical sings .

This experiment was designed to elicit the effect of zinc on the hematological picture and the histological effect on heart, kidney and liver of the domestic ducks. The birds were divided into two groups of eight birds each. The first group was the control group and the second one was the treated group in which the birds were fed the zinc sulphate as 100 mg/kg with food for four weeks. The results showed a decrease in hemoglobin, MCV, MCH, and MCHC. And an increase in red blood cells blood cholesterol,GOT and GPT. Histologicaly, the results showed a hydropic degeneration in the myocardial and renal cells beside a fatty degeneration in the liver texture

Clinical sings ,hematology and some biochemical changes have been investigated in local breed drought horse affected with acute laminitis in Basrah-Iraq .The study were conducted on 55 local breed drought horse 2-10 years old and from both sexes, from these ,Forty local breed drought horses show sings of acute laminitis and 15 clinically healthy local breed drought horses served as control . Results showed that diseased animals exhibited different clinical sings include loss of appetite, pain on palpation around the coronet, abnormal standing position with shuffling gait during standing , increase pulse in the palmar digital artery, sweating and anxiety were more prominent, more over body temperature, respiratory and heart rate were also increased . The results indicated no significant increase in RBC count and Hb while the results indicated significant increase in PCV,ESR and fibrinogen in diseased horses affected with acute laminitis. The results also indicated a significant increase in WBC as a result of significant increase neutrophils . Biochemical changes revealed significant increase in AST, ALT,ALP and total bilirubin, however significant increase in cholesterol were also encountered in affected horses with acute laminitis .

The objective of the present work was to investigate infectious kerato-conjunctivitis in drought horses in Basrah Province (Basrah-Iraq). The study was conducted on (200) local drought horses (3-10) years old and of both sexes. Animals were brought and examined at the consultant veterinary hospital-college of veterinary medicine-university of Basrah, during the period from July 2007 to June 2008. Result revealed that out of (200) drought horses, (77) animals have been exhibited the clinical sings of keratoconjusnctivitis, with a prevalence rate of (38.5%). Diseased animals show sings of, sever conjunctival hyperemia, serious, mucoid and/or purulent ocular secretions, restless and anxiety, Presence of flies around the eyes, edematous eyes, Photophobia, Blepherospasim, rubbing eyes against hard objects, and corneal opacity. Results were also indicated different causative agents which were responsible for the disease, either in the form of single or mixed infection. Thelazia lacrymalis being the most important nematode detected, moreover Staphylococcus areus, E.coli, Klebseilla spp, Streptococous spp., and pseudomonas arigenosa, were indicated as the main and common bacteria which were isolated from infected eyes of diseased drought horses, Furthermore yeast, Cladosporium cladosporoides, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger were represent the fungal microorganisms isolated from infected eyes of diseased drought horses. Flies which found congregated around infected eyes were diagnosed as Musca spp.

In this study is used larvae of sarcophaga heamorridalis fly which its characterized by large in length and gluttony in eat of carcasses, it stay for 7days at dead tissues until reach to pupa stage . Larvae were added to dead animals (pigeon , rabbit,hawk,fish,bird), after that it began feeding from first stage to third stage and it take good result that leave body without muscles, whereas skin and skeleton were kept
