Live attenuated vaccine of Strept. equi equi was prepared by culturing the bacteria in increasing concentration of acriflavin beginning from 2ppm to 16ppm by 77 passage for three months.The first group recived submucosal injection in the upper lip , and the second group recived intranasal installation of the vaccine. The titer of antibodies in the first group was 853.33 ± 107.93 8 weeks post vaccination, & 384 ± 57.24 in the second group with significant difference at the level of P< 0.05 between the two groups. Both groups did not show any clinical findings after challenge dose , while the control group died.

This study was undertaken to knowledge the chemical composition of some farm animals ( cow,buffalo,sheep and goat ) by using ultrasonic milk analyzer . This method was used first time in our country in the feiled of milk hygiene to determine and comparsion the composition percent of raw milk for farm animals as attempt to protect the health of consumers . 240 raw milk samples for each species of animals included in this study for two different season of year ,first (Novembe 2009 - January 2010) , second from (May – July 2010) . The chemical analysis from milk samples for cows, buffaloes, sheep and goat show the percentage of composition as follow : Fat percentages were % , %, % and % ,respectively. Solid non fat compounds (SNF) percentages were % , % , % and % ,respectively.Protein percentages were %, %, % and % ,respectively .Lactose percentages were % , % , % and % ,respectively . Season of year had a significant effect on percentage of milk composition .

The present study conducted to determine the effect of different doses (100, 200 and 300 mg / kg of body weight) of alcoholic extract of bitter melon in the functions of the testis. The results of the current study, showed these doses have caused a decrease in concentration of the testosterone compared with the control group, as well as the increase in the level of cholesterol, in addition to gross changes an increaseing in the size andcongestion of testis from mild to severe, compared with control group, in addition to necrosis and destruction in the cells of Leydig cells, which ranged also from the simple to the broad and destroy the spermatocytes and sperm and desquamation in the lumen of seminephrous tubules, and these lesions suited with dose given to male rats. Conclude from this study that the dose of 300 mg/kg of body weight of alcoholic extract of bitter melon have had the biggest impact on the functions of the testis to have had the impact in a significant decrease in the concentration of the testosterone, and increase in the concentration of cholesterol, also an increase in weight of testis, with testicular congestion and severe destruction of leydig cells with necrosis and desquamation of spermatocytes and sperm in the lumen of seminepherous tubule

The purpose of this researcher was to evaluate the effect of the enrofloxacine on the immune response for ND vaccine at age of 27 days, fifty chicks are used devided in to five groups,10 chicks for each group, the first group designed A as control without treatment second group designed B treated with prophylactic dose of enrofloxacine ,third group was designed C was treated wit the normal treatment dose the fourth group was designed asD treated with dose ranging between prophylactic and treatment dose .fifth group designed E treated with over dose of enrofloxacin, the result of this research proved that the prophylactic dose enhance the immune response for the ND vaccine significantly at level of 0,01.compared with control and other treated groups, although treated group C,D and E with no sig.dif comparing to control level 0.01.

The effect of water extract of garlic on hard ticks in comparison with cypermethrin by using spray method in vitro and in vivo. The result of this experiment reveals that 250 mg/ml water extract the most effective concentration on ticks than other concentrations, while 1mL/L of cypermethrin more effective than garlic extract with significant variation of probability (P<0.05). The toxicity of garlic was examined on the back of rabbits histological and pathological changes were studied
