This study was conducted at Al-Bargah district (30)Km north east Kerbala city during the period from 2nd ,March till 12th ,October ,2012.The aim was to assess the effect of three levels of Potassium (i.e.0.5 ,1.0 and 2.0)g/pot, four concentrations of Gibberellic acid( i.e. 0 ,50,100and 150) mg/L and their interaction on growth parameters of roselle plant(Hibiscus sabdariffa L.).The treatments were applied twice,at 4-6 true leaf stage and at the flowering stage.
Results could summarized as follow.
1-Increasing potassium levels significantly increasedplants height ,no. of branches ,leaves number andarea and fresh and dry weights of shoot.
2- Results revealed that , 50 mg/L GA3 caused an increment inplants height ,no. of branches ,leaves number andarea and fresh and dry weights of shoot.
3-The interaction between K and GA3 revealed that , the treatment of 2.0 g K and 50 mg/L GA3 increasedno. of branches and leaves area and fresh and dry weights of shoot.While,plantsheight andno. of leaves were notaffected.

This study was designed to investigate some side effects of mercuric chloride ,when injected intraperitonealy in healthy rats . Lethal Dose (LD50 ) was determined . it was found to be 5 mg/kg of body weight , then doses of 0.5,1.0 and 1.5 mg /kg of body weight were injected intraperitonealy to study some blood parameters for a period of 45 days . Sixty eight male rats weighed 200 - 300 grams & aged (12) weeks were used in this study . twenty rats were divided randomly to determine the Lethal Dose (LD50) , and 48 rats were divided randomly into four groups (12 rats for each group) ,the first animal group were injected subcutaneously with normal physiological saline ,while 2,3,4 groups were injected with mercuric chloride at doses of (0.5,1.0,1.5 ) mg /kg of body.
The results showed that there was a significant decrease in Packed Cells Volume (P.C.V) , Red Blood Cells ( R.B.Cs ) & no significant differences in White Blood Cells ( W.B.Cs ) , also showed a decrease of liver enzymes ( ALT,AST,ALP ) & total protein in serum .
Selenium at the dose of ( 0.5 ) mg/kg of body weight for (30 days ) to decrease the effects of mercuric chloride was injected subcutaneously in the rats that were already treated with mercuric chloride . Significant decreases in Packed Cells Volume (P.C.V) & Red Blood Cells count (R.B.Cs) were found & no significant differences in White Blood Cells (W.B.Cs) and in ( ALT,AST,ALP ) were noticed & a decrease in total serum protein was observed .

Sixty eight male rats weighed 200 - 300 grams & aged (12) weeks were used in this study . twenty rats were divided randomly to determine the Lethal Dose (LD50) , and 48 rats were divided randomly into four groups (12 rats for each group) ,the first animal group were injected subcutaneously with normal physiological saline ,while 2,3,4 groups were injected with mercuric chloride at doses of (0.5,1.0,1.5 ) mg /kg of body weight, the animals were weighed after (24 hours ) from the last dose .
The results showed that there were significant differences in the weights of studied organs . The histological effects on the testis showed necrosis in the epithelial tissue of seminiferous tubules and congestion of interstitial tissue of the lung & thickening in septa between alveolar & infiltration of inflammatory cells and congestion of blood vessels .
Selenium at the dose of ( 0.5 ) mg/kg of body weight for (30 days ) to decrease the effects of mercuric chloride was injected subcutaneously in the rats that were treated with mercuric chloride , significant decrease in the weights of testes and lungs. The histological effects in rats treated with selenium showed that there were some normal seminiferous tubules while others contained groups of died sperms in the lumen of seminiferous tubules and in the lung there were mild inflammatory reactions in the pulmonary interstitial tissue& congestion of blood vessels

A study was conducted at Al-Faihaa station (North of Babil) the station had a herd of awassi Sheep (500 sheep), This study included 180 records of 60 ewes the averge ages between (2-5) years, over period from 2010 to 2012, 120 viewer for every characters from blood parameters belonged to the same ewes for three month (April to June)2012 to predicting of number of production and reproduction traits through number of blood parameters after study effect of fixed factors on traits[birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), gain body weight (GBW) from birth to weaning, percentage of fertility (F) and litter size (LS)]. The overall means of BW, WW and GBW 2.53, 17.60 and 14.80 kg respectively. The F and LS were 69.82% and 1.40 born\ewe respectively. The averages of blood biochemical characteristics such as glucose, total protein (TP), level of cholesterol and Follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) were 54.64 mg/dl, 53.23 g/l, 50.21 mg/dl and 1.59 ng/ml respectively. The age of the dam had nonsignificant effect in 3 years age records on BW while significant on WW and GBW. The age of the dam had significant effect(p<0.05) on F and LS and turned to the dams at 4 years age compare to other ages. Increased in growth traits with increase level of blood glucose and cholesterol while the regression coefficient of growth on level of TP was negative and the growth no effect by other blood parameters. The regression coefficient of F were significant (p<0.05) on glucose, cholesterol and FSH hormone. The regression of LS on level of glucose and TP in blood were negative and highly significant (p<0.01).
