The experiment was conducted in one of the commercial animal farm located in QalatSiqar town which belongs to Thi-Qar governorate during aperiod from 2-3-2011 to 29-4-2011.This study was aimed to knowledge the effect of adding baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) as 3gm yeast/kg feed on the level of serum glucose and some hematological traits(RBCs count , WBCs count, PCV, Hb, ESR) in kids of local goats, twelve male kids were used in this study which are divided randomly into two groups (six kids for each group) , the results can summarized as follows:
1- Increase the level of serum glucose (non significant).
2- Numerical increase in RBCs count.
3- There were no difference among other hematological traits studied.

Serological investigation was conducted on (100) serum samples. (50) samples were collected from aborted cows and (50) samples from non-aborted cows in some areas in Baghdad to detect the infection of Brucellosis and Salmonellosis by using Rose Bengal plate test and tube agglutination test for brucellosis and the Widale plate test for salmonellosis.This study was conducted on two axons, first axon to detect the incidence of infection with brucellosis and salmonellosis in cattle, while the second axon to detect the cases of mixed infection with salmonellosis and brucellosis.Rose bengal test conceders one of the most important screening test in detecting brucellosis in both aborted and non-aborted cows. The positive results in the RBPT were (32) with percentage (%64) in aborted cows and (22) with percentage (%44) in non-aborted cows, while the tube agglutination test gave (22) positive results with percentage(%44) in aborted cows and (5) with percentage of (%20) in non-aborted cows. The widale test gave good results in the diagnosis of salmonellosis in cattle, the incidence in aborted cows was(%28) while in non-aborted cows was (%16).It was noticed that the percentage of mixed infection between brucellosis and salmonellosis was (%16) in aborted cows and (%12) in non-aborted cows and this is due to the presence of common and non-specific antigens between the two bacteria.

Diagnosis and treatment of digestive system affection in ruminant that brought to surgical department of veterinary teaching hospital of Mosul University from 1/7/2011 to 1/2/2012 were made.Clinical examination, diagnosis and treatment for (53) affection were made. The affection were traumatic reticule peritonitis (17) cases in ratio (32.075%), indigestion due to non-penetrated foreign body (12) cases in ratio (22.64%), ruminal fistula (6) cases in ratio (11.32%), self-suckling (4) cases in ratio (7.54%), check muscle paralysis (3) cases in ratio (5.66%), atresia ani , atresia ani etrecti and rectal prolapse (2) cases in ratio (3.77%) for each on, finally atresia recti,left side abomasum displacement, omasal impaction, chronic ruminal tympany, , lacerated cheek wound (1) cases in ratio (1.88%) for each one.14 animals were treated are inspected after surgical operation to study the efficiency of treatment were used. (85.714%) of these cases were responded to surgical correction.We reach concluded that digestive affection is sperated in large ruminant specially the females.

This study included the collection of small intestine of local domestic pigeons infected by cestoda Raillietina cesticillus which isolated and diagnosted by Al-Idreesy (2010). Gross and histopathological changes was studied. The gross changes included enlargement of the duodenum. The microscopic finding of duodenal sections revealed presence of sections of mature cestode segment of the parasite attached to the mucosa of intestine, as well as inflammatory reaction of the epithelial layer including infiltration of inflammatory cells, there is clear degenerative changes of epithelial cells lining of the mucosal layer of the infected intestine.

A total of 300 samples (100 samples from feases healthy adult persons, adult persons suffer from diarrhea and100 feases healthy child and from feases children suffer from diarrhea and 100 samples from feases young sheep suffer from diarrhea ) , taken from various hospitals in the Baghdad city during the period from January to April 2012. All isolates were subjected to the cultural, microscopical, biochemical examinations by Vitek 2 for identification up to the species. The results showed that 40 isolates belonged to Enterococcus faecalis of which, 25 isolates from diarrhea cause and 15 isolates from normal flora , 31 isolates of which 18 isolates belonged to E.coli and 5 isolates belonged to E.coliO157:H7 and 8 isolates belonged to Salmonella spp. All isolates were subjected to cultural ,microscopical, biochemical examinations and used( API 20 –E) strip. and sensitivity of 31 isolates was tested against (11-9) Antibiotics. Results revealed that isolates showed multi resistance to antibiotics, All isolates of E.coli and E.coliO157:H7 ,Salmonella spp.resistant to some antibiotics for negative Bacteria and belonging to the group Enterobacteriaceae. And Detection of the ability of E. faecalis local isolates to produce enterocin by testing the inhibitory activity agar and broth in two media MRS,BHI and two method against bacteria cause diarrhea. And The results showed a variety of the local isolates in their inhibitory effect against bacteria cause diarrhea in children and young sheep by inhibitor zone between (12-20) mm and was MRS liquid and solid the best media from the brain heart infusion .

The research was conducted to investigate the effect of water extracted propolis on hatchability,body weights of hatched chicks as well as some hematological traits which were represented by packed cell volume,Hemoglobin concentration ,Heterophil lymphocyte ratio,in addition to evaluation of glucose, cholesterol and plasma protein .A total of 300 embryonated eggs,10th day of incubation were used in the experiment , those eggs were randomly allocated in to 5 treatments , each treatment included 2 replicates , 30 eggs of each replicate . Eggs were injected by water extracted propolis in to 3 treatments meanwhile ,other 2 treatments were left as control,treatments were arranged as follow:
T1: Negative control treatment .
T2 :Posative control treatment(0.1 ml of distilled water was injected in each egg).
T3: Eggs in this treatment were injected with 50 mg /ml of water extracted propolis (0.1 ml/egg) .
T4: Eggs in this treatment were injected with 100 mg / ml water extracted propolis (0.1 ml/egg).
T5: Eggs in this treatment were injected with,150 mg / ml water extracted propolis . (0.1 ml/egg) .
Results showed no significant effect of water extracted propolis on hatchability and percentages of deformed chicks , mean while, the extracted propolis led to a highly significant effect (p > 0.01) on body weights of hatched chicks which were 44.35, 44.60 and 45.75 gm / chick in the third ,forth and fifth treatment respectively. The results indicated significant effect of the extract on some hematological values such as packed cell volume , hemoglobin concentration,whereas, the Heterophil /Lymphocyte ratio was significantly improved(p>0.01)which were 0.29,0.28 and 0.26 in the third ,forth and fifth treatment respectively . No significant effect of the extracted propolis was noticed on the plasma glucose but the plasma cholesterol was significantly reduced to 166.76 , 164.14 and 158.80 mg /100 ml in the third ,forth and fifth treatment respectively, plasma protein was elevated significantly (p>0.01) due to the injection of the extract as well ,it was 3.19, 3.93 and 5.06 gm/100ml in the third ,forth and fifth treatment respectively .It was concluded that water extracted propolis had an important effect in increasing body weights of chicks post hatching as well as improving H/L ,reducing plasma cholesterol and elevation of plasma protein .

This study was carried out on 250 locally sheep collected from four sides of Thi-Qar
Governorate. The clinical, hematological, trace elements changes in naturally occurring minerals
deficiency in sheep were described. Anemia & Pale mucous membranes, Alopecia &steely wool,
Diarrhea, parakeratosis, pica and abortion constituted the main signs and symptoms. The
respiratory and heart rates were significantly higher (p<0.05) in mineral deficient sheep than in
normal control sheep in one side of province. Values of total erythrocyte count, hemoglobin
concentration and packed cell volume were significantly lower (p<0.05) in mineral deficient
sheep than in normal control sheep. Significant differences were not found in total leukocyte
count and differential leukocyte count values in sick and normal control sheep. Copper, Zinc and
Iron values in the serum were significantly lower (p<0.05) in mineral deficient than in normal
control sheep. The erythrocytes morphology appeared a abnormal shapes and size, this refer to
Macrocytic hypochromic anemia and Normocytic hypochromic anemia, It was concluded that a
significant changes were noticed between diseased and control sheep in clinical hematological
values and trace elements and abnormal erythrocytes morphology, deficiency of a single element
seldom occurs under field condition in Thi-Qar Governorate
