Determining the genotypes of the CAPN3 gene and studying its relationship to some economic characteristics of broiler
chickens, which included weekly weights, final live weight, carcass weight and carcass parts weights, in addition to the
correlation coefficient for some important Ross characteristics. 308 chickens, in which 100 chicks were bred for 35 days
and taken. Primary birds were weighed and all birds were numbered. Genotypes were determined by analyzing the
nitrogenous base sequences of the studied part of the CAPN3 gene the site of variation in the nitrogenous bases of the
studied gene (G>C2426) was diagnosed and the resulting genotypes were calculated, which are three genotypes: GG,
GC, and CC of the CAPN3 gene. As for the CAPN3 gene, the results showed statistically significant differences for some
traits such as chest weight and wing weight, while the results did not indicate any statistically significant differences
between the three models for other traits such as live body weight, carcass, and thigh weight, back weight, weekly
weights, and superiority of genotype CC on the rest of the individuals in some traits. the study suggests the possibility of
using molecular markers of the CAPN3 gene in poultry breeding and selection programs.

Measuring the concentration of sugar in cows is very important to assess their health status, as well as the possibility of
treatment with solutions containing sugar to treat a number of diseases that affect cows. The range of sugar concentration
in cows is 42-75 mg / 100 ml of blood. The study aimed at the possibility of using the ACCU-CHEK device with human
use to measure sugar concentration in cows due to the speed of results, ease of use, low price of the device and the
attached tapes, and the possibility of transporting it and working in the field compared to the spectrometer and kit
attached to it. This study was designed to compare two methods for measuring the concentration of sugar in the blood of
cows, which are kit, in which 52 blood samples were used from healthy and sick cows and calves living in the suburbs of
Nasiryah city, and the ACCU-CHEK rapid device method using a drop of blood from 52 heads of cows and calves for
direct use. Accu-chek (device) can be used to measure the concentration of sugar in the blood of cows, especially in
various clinical conditions, including cases of hypoglycemia that are treated with sugar itself, and measuring the
concentration of sugar is very important when diagnosing diseases in cows that causes high and low sugar concentrations
and due to the ease of use and transportation of the device and its low price and the price of test strips ,compared with kit
method, we recommend using it in cow glucose measurement and using it in veterinary medicine

This study aims to compare the effect of diluting the feed provided to broilers with the remains of canning
factories (dates, tomatoes, grapes and their mixture) on some productive traits and some jejunum bacteria. It is
located in the field of poultry at the Faculty of Agriculture and Marshlands. In the experiment, 240 unsexed,
1-day-old Ros-308 chicks, average starting weight 42g, were used. Chicks were fed a standard initial diet for
1-7 days. Chicks were randomly distributed to five treatments, 48 chicks for each treatment (16 chicks for
each replicate). The experimental diets were used from the beginning of the second week until the end of the
third week (14 days) as follows: (T1: control diet diluted with no dilution) (T2: control diet diluted with 20%
date pomace) (T3): control diet diluted with 20 % tomato pomace) (T4: control diet diluted with 20 pomace)
from 20% grape pomace diet (T5: control diet diluted 20% of a homogeneous and equal mixture of three types
of pomace), and after the end of the third week, the serving was increased For everyone until the end of the
trial period. At the end of the experiment, there were no significant differences in economic growth and
growth results in traits (live weight rate, weight gain rate, feed consumption rate, feed conversion efficiency)
with an arithmetic improvement in traits in all production traits. In favor of the two treatments (T5, T3), the
result was a significant increase (p≤0.05) in the number of lactobacilli bacteria in the jejunal part of the small
intestine with a significant decrease in the total of aerobic bacteria and Escherichia coli.

Due to the scarcity of water resources at the present time in Thi-Qar governorate, many people and farmers resort to using
groundwater and well water for all purposes to meet their daily water needs. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the quality
of well water and determine its suitability for different uses. Therefore, the researchers in this study dealt with evaluating
some physical and chemical properties of the water of some wells located in Al-Rifai city in Thi-Qar governorate / southern
Iraq during the year 2020 for the purpose of assessing the quality of well water. Water samples were collected from 9 wells at
different depths, ranging between 1-7 meters. The electrical conductivity, pH, turbidity and the total dissolved salts were
measured. The concentrations of some major ions in the water of these wells, represented by chloride, carbonate, bicarbonate,
calcium and dissolved oxygen, were also measured. Analytical methods were followed for determining chloride ions,
bicarbonate, carbonate and calcium, and measuring total dissolved salts (TDS), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved
oxygen (DO) and the turbidity using the electrical methods. It was found that the concentration of ions in the well water for
chloride ranged between (31.6 - 3.8 meq / L) and calcium (43.26 - 71.8 meq / L), while the bicarbonate values ranged
between (630 - 160 meq / L). The pH values ranged between (7.38 - 7.5) and the EC values between (4.35 - 1.33 mmho /
cm), while the values of the TDS ranged between (2175 - 666 ppm) and the DO values ranged between (8.85 - 7.30 ppm).
The turbidity values ranged between (FTU 105 - 0.05 FTU). It was found through the study that the values of some ions were
high, while others were within the permissible limits, and this indicates contamination of well water in that area. It was also
found that the behavior of that water was a basic behavior. All physical and chemical properties were represented in the form
of contour maps to illustrate the general distribution of these values in the wells of the study area

this experiment was carried out in one of the unheated greenhouses at the station of the College of Agriculture and the Marshes / University of Thi Qar, Al-Mawhahiya area, during the autumn season 2019-2020, by designing a split split plot. The experiment included three treatments and three replicates, between two varieties of cucumber Jamela and Dats, three concentrations of trace elements (0, 20 and 40) gL - 1 and three concentrations of amino elxain (0,3.5 and 7) ml – 1 and the plants were sprayed. Three times, the first was at flowering, the second sprayed 15 days after the first spray, and the third sprayed 15 days after the second spray.This study aims to find out the effect of aminoxin and trace elements on the cucumber plant and study some of the physiological properties and yield and determine the best suitable hybrid that can be cultivated in the conditions of the southern region, especially Dhi Qar governorate. Total of leaves (mg. 100 gm -1 soft weight), free amino acid content of fruits (mg. Liter -1) and total yield of house (kg. Plastic house -1) when spraying with trace elements treatment which gave (6.687 mg, 100 gm -1 fresh weight, 2.2450 mg. Liters -1 and 43.908 kg. Plastic house -1), while when spraying with amino - xene, the highest rate was recorded (7.196 mg. 100 gm - 1) soft weight and 2.5011 mg. Liter - 1 and 38.475 kg. -1) While the comparison treatment recorded the lowest rate of these characteristics, and Jamela was superior to Dats in the content of amino acids and the total output of the house. As for the double and triple interactions, it was significant in these characteristics.

Hemorrhagic septicemia is an important disease of cattle and buffaloes. Which causes disease revolutions with great
economic losses in Asia and Africa, and in Iraq it is considered one of the more dangerous diseases in buffaloes than in
cows. This study was prepared to reassess the vaccination program against hemorrhagic septicemia, which is used in Iraq,
especially in buffaloes, due to the nature of their lives in the marshes and as a result of the epidemic that occurred in 2008
by conducting a challenge test on buffaloes directly with a study of some physiological and immunological aspects before
and after examining the challenge, as well as the effect of virulent germ The animal body has clinical symptoms and
pathological changes when the post mortem is performed. This study has the advantage of using the buffalo itself by
performing the challenge assay directly on it. We can depend on animal mortality, clinical symptoms and local interaction
to distinguish animal resistance to the challenge test and the efficacy of the vaccine type in immunization of buffaloes
against hemorrhagic septicemia. Clinical and pathological symptoms may be used on the field diagnosis of the disease
and are considered as enhancement for bacterial diagnosis

Because of the poor water situation in Iraq in general and the southern governorates in particular requires prior consideration
to find appropriate solutions. In this study، the researchers sought to estimate the amount of waste water in irrational and
irrational ways in five vital areas within Thi-Qargovernorate, which are Qalat Suker, Al-Rifai, Al-Shatrah, Sug Al-Shuyukh
and Al-Fuhud cities using the questionnaire distributed to citizens. The total amount of water wasted per month in these five
areas due to the unemployed faucets is 1752660 liters. Because of the leakage of the water reservoirs without a roving، it is
901906480 liters، because washing the cars with the water hose is 952632 liters and keeping the faucets open during the
cleaning of the teeth is 288845180 liters. Khartoum is 23163505 liters. The researchers concluded that very large quantities
of drinking water are wasted daily due to erroneous activities by the population in the study areas where 1216620475 (one
billion two hundred and sixteen million six hundred and twenty five hundred) liters per month are lost. Given that the average
person in developing countries may need about 80 liters per day for all his needs، these amounts would have been wasted if it
was used to provide 510000 citizens a day with drinking water
