Dairy products are considered as one of important foods in the human diet. They are good source of protein, fat,<br />and major minerals. Heavy metals are persistent toxic chemicals that have a public health concern. Milk of small<br />ruminants such as sheep and goat is considered as a very important source for animal-derived protein in many<br />Arabian countries and Egypt. However, studying the heavy metal load in milk of small ruminant had received less<br />attention. Thus, this study aimed to estimate the residual concentrations of lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) in milk of<br />sheep, goat' milk and cheese manufactured from sheep milk. The public health importance of the existed metals<br />was also discussed. All examined samples had Pb concentrations higher than the maximum permissible limits<br />(MPL) set by WHO/FAO. Similarly, goat milk samples had Cu concentrations higher than MPL, while in case of<br />sheep 70% and 90% of examined milk and cheese samples had Cu levels higher than MPL

The aim of the present study was to determine and characterize the clinical, hematological, biochemical parameters<br />and outcome in cows suffering from Omaso-abomasal volvulus (OAV). Animals data were obtained from medical<br />records of 60 adult dairy cattle suffering from OAV (Clinic for Ruminants, Justus-Liebig-University, Germany).<br />For each case, history, age, results of clinical examination, hematological and biochemical findings were recorded<br />and analyzed. Ages of animals were between 2.3 and 8 years, (mean 4.8). Compared with the respective normal<br />range, there were significant increases of the heart rate, hematocrit, total bilirubin, urea blood, concentrations of<br />bicarbonate and base excess. Serum chloride and potassium were significantly decreased in the majority of cows.<br />In this study, dehydration, metabolic alkalosis, hypochloremia, hypokalemia and circulatory insufficiency were<br />the major common findings in cows with Omasum-abomasal volvulus. Excessive stretching of the abomasal wall<br />and long lasting strangulations at the torsion-sites must be avoided (surgery should be performed as soon after<br />diagnosis of AOV as possible) and correction of these conditions with aggressive intravenous fluid therapy is<br />necessary before the surgical intervention for correction of the hematobiochemical alterations

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is the most prevalent infectious disease of cattle. It causes financial losses from a<br />variety of clinical manifestations and is the subject of a number of mitigation and eradication schemes around the world.<br />This study was designed for isolation and identification of BVDV in Kalubeya governorate. The study was carried out on<br />400 Buffy coat and tissue samples from cattle and buffaloes. Direct detection of BVDV antigen by antigen capture enzyme<br />linked immunosorbent assay (AC-ELISA) showed positive results in 47.4% (95) and 10.5% (21) in cattle and 38% (76)<br />and 6% (12) in buffaloes for buffy coat and tissue samples, respectively. Virus isolation (VI) on MDBK cell culture<br />revealed negative results which subjected to indirect fluorescent antibody technique (FAT), revealed characteristic<br />intracytoplasmic apple green fluorescence indicating presence of non-cytopathogenic strain of BVDV. Molecular<br />detection using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed the presence of specific PCR product<br />at the correct expected size of the BVDV genotype I (190 bp).

The present study was designed to throw spot light upon the incidence and detection of Staphylococcal enterotoxins. The<br />incidence for isolation of S. aureus in the examined samples of street vended meat products was recorded in the examined<br />hawawshi samples at percentage of 31.4% followed by kofta samples at percentage of 25.7%. While the lowest incidence<br />for isolation of S.aureus in the examined samples was recorded in shawerma samples at percentage of 22.8%. The<br />percentages of antimicrobial susceptibility of S. aureus isolates from the examined samples of meat products were very<br />susceptible to erythromycin (E) (89.3%), followed by norfloxacin (NOR) (82.1%), ampicillin (AM)(60.7%),<br />ciprofloxacin (CP)(53.6%), streptomycin (S)(35.7%) and amoxicillin (AMX)(25.0). The study obtained "one" enterotoxin<br />A and enterotoxin D produced by S. aureus in the Hawawshi samples of meat product. There is "one" unaccepted<br />Hawawshi sample with a percentage (3.6%). While, enterotoxins B and enterotoxin C failed to be detected in Hawawshi<br />samples of meat product. For kofta samples there is "one" enterotoxin D produced by S. aureus. There is "one" unaccepted<br />kofta sample with a percentage (3.6%). While, enterotoxins A, B and C failed to be detected in kofta samples of meat<br />products. Also enterotoxins A, B, C and D failed to be detected in shawerma samples of meat products

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different feed additives (Probiotics, Prebiotics, Synbiotics, Organic<br />acids and Enzymes) on chicks’ immunity (Antibody titer against Newcastle vaccine, differential leukocyte count, total<br />proteins, albumin and globulin value) and economic efficiency analysis by using production functions under summer<br />condition. Our results showed that, enzyme treated group recorded the highest value of white blood cells. Organic acids<br />treated group for Ross breed showed the highest value for lymphocyte percentage. Heterophils percentage value was the<br />highest for probiotics and synbiotics treated group. Concerning antibody titer to vaccination against Newcastle, we found<br />that all the experimental groups had a positive effect on antibody titer. Regarding, albumin value, it was the highest for<br />probiotic treated group, while globulin value for Cobb breed showed higher value for all treated groups in comparison to<br />control group except for probiotic treated group. Regarding the effect of these additives on body weight and total return,<br />we found positive relationship between feed additives and body weight and total return. On the basis of our results, it<br />would be concluded that probiotics, prebiotic, synbiotic, organic acids and enzymes had positive effect on immunity and<br />economic performance of broiler chicken.

The present study was investigated the histological structure of the vesicular glands of eight mature castrated and noncastrated<br />zaraibi bucks (4 animals/ each group). Generally, the vesicular gland of bucks was compact and lobulated gland.<br />It was covered by a muscular capsule sending fibro-muscular septa dividing the gland into irregular unequal lobules. Each<br />lobule was formed of numerous secretory acini and few amount of inter-acinar connective tissue stroma. Each lobule had<br />a central collecting sinus to collect the secretions from the different acini. Both secretory acini and central collecting<br />sinuses were lined mainly with pseudostratified columnar epithelium that was consisted mainly of secretory columnar<br />cells and few small basal cells. The secretion was released into the acinar limen via apocrine mode. The castrated bucks<br />showed more connective tissue and less acinar components in comparison to non-castrated bucks. Such finding represents<br />the histological difference between the vesicular gland of castrated and non-castrated bucks that pointed out the effect of<br />castration on structure of the vesicular gland

The current study aimed to conclude the prevalence of hard ticks infesting cattle in Qalyobia governorate and to investigate<br />the developmental stages of cattle piroplasms in ticks hemolymph. A total of 600 cattle were haphazardly examined for tick<br />infestation throughout the period from April 2013 to March 2014. Hemolymph samples of 1550 ticks were extracted, stained<br />by Giemsa again and microscopically inspected under oil immersion lens. Moreover, PCR assay was applied to amplify<br />18SrRNA genes of Babesia and Theileria in 40 microscopically negative hemolymph samples. The study revealed that<br />6.17% of cattle were infested by ticks. Rhipicephalus turanicus and Rhipicephalus praetextatus (70.02% and 29.98%<br />respectively) were the recorded tick species. Ticks showed a great tendency to attach to the udder and inguinal regions<br />(34.46%), while the two sides were the least infested (7.69%). No recorded significant effect of sex on the rate of infestation<br />(P> 0.05). Cattle at age of 3-5 years were significantly more infested (78.38%) than those of 2-3 years (16.22 %) and those<br />of 8months -2 years (5.41%). Microscopic examination of tick hemolymph revealed the presence of piroplasm<br />developmental stages in 39.23% and 49.4% of hemolymph samples obtained from Rhipicephalus turanicus and<br />Rhipicephalus praetextatus respectively. PCR analysis further revealed that amongst 40 ticks whose hemolymph were<br />microscopically negative, 25% and 12.5% were positive for Babesia and Theileria sp. respectively. The results concluded<br />that Rhipecephalus turanicus and Rhipicephalus praetextatus are the common tick species infesting cattle in the study area.<br />PCR assay is proved to be more efficient and sensitive than the microscopic assay for identification of the developmental<br />stages of piroplasms in tick hemolymph. Thus, allowing the easy and rapid surveillance of the endemicity of piroplasm<br />infection among tick sp. and consequently application of emphasized control programs

Nutritional Muscular Dystrophy (NMD) is a disease of lambs results from a selenium and/or vitamin E deficiency. This<br />study was applied on 20 NMD lambs and 20 control native breed lambs from Qalyubia Governorate, with ages ranged<br />from 1 to 4 months, in order to explore the effects of NMD clinical and hematobiochemical changes in lambs. Affected<br />lambs showed sternal recumbency, stiffness, trembling and muscle tremors, hard swollen muscle and the lamb adopted<br />lateral recumbency. The diseased lambs had significant (P<0.05) decreases in the serum Se and vitamin E. The RBCs<br />count, Hb content and PCV% were significantly decreased (P<0.05) in NMD lambs. On other hand, the MCV and MCH<br />were significantly increased (P<0.05) in NMD lamb compared to control. The activities of ALT, AST, CPK, LDH and<br />MDA were significantly increased (P<0.05) in NMD lamb compared to control group. The SOD and GSH-Px were<br />significantly decreased (P<0.05) in NMD lamb compared to control. It was concluded that vitamin E and Se deficiency<br />result in NMD which associated with alteration in clinical and hematological parameters
