ABSTRACT: In study to determine the productive performance of broilers in hot season of semi-arid environment, three commercial broiler strains namely Arbor-acre, Marshall and Hubbard, were placed on three different dietary energy and crude protein levels of 2900Kcal/kg (ME) 22% CP, 3100Kcal/kg (ME) 23% CP, and 3300 Kcal/kg (ME) 24% CP representing low, medium and high energy levels at starter phase, respectively. At the finisher phase, they were fed 2800 Kcal/kg (ME) 19% CP, 3000 Kcal/kg (ME) 20% CP and 3200Kcal/kg (ME) 21% CP. A total of 675 birds were used in a completely randomized design (CRD) comprising 225 birds each of Arbor-acre, Hubbard and Marshall strains serving as treatments with each group replicated five times so that each replicate had 15 birds for 56 days.............

ABSTRACT: This research was conducted in the plant tissue culture Lab. College of Agriculture / University of Baghdad – Al-Jadriya. In vitro shoot clusters of (FragariaXAnanassaDuch cv. Festival) were used as experimental materials. Explants were collected from 4weeks old virus free aseptic proliferated meristems. Shoot clusters of strawberry explants without roots were cultured on MS media which were supplemented with (1 mg.L-1 BA and 0.1 mg.L-1 IBA) and amino acid (Glutamine) which were add separately at various concentrations(0, 25, 50 and 100 mg.L-1),and add two selected polyamines (Putrescine, spermidine) at concentration (0, 0.07, 0.14 and 0.28 mg.L-1). In rooting stage, shoots obtained from the shooting...........

ABSTRACT: Aim: The present study described the anatomical structures of the umbilical cord, fetal circulation and their remnants in the adult. This work will help veterinary practitioners in diagnosis of the abnormalities of these umbilical structures in newly born foals and camel calves. Material and methods: it was applied on five specimens from donkeys and camels; three aborted feti and two apparently healthy adults. Fetal specimens were injected with the colored latex in the umbilical veins and arteries then preserved in a 10% formalin solution for two days before dissection. The structures of the umbilical cord and the embryonic structures were identified and photographed. The adult specimens were treated by ordinary routine method of preservation; mixture of 10%formalin, 4%phenol and 1% glycerin for two days then dissected to identify the fetal remnants............
