Experimental animals were divided randomly into equal groups(each group included 5 animals), induction of pneumonia in one of these group in sheep by intratracheal route with the infective dose (3 ml) of bacterial suspension in concentration (10 CFU/ml) & the second represent as control and gave a sterile D.W. in the same dose & route of infection) and clinically exam daily with weekly complete blood indices, humoral and cellular immunity were examined by passive heamagglutination test and phagocytic activity as well as histopathological examination of lungs from two scarified sheep in the first group. Nasal discharge appeared as serous then turned to mucopurulent, intermittent cough, mild fever, increase in pulse and respiratory rates (42.4±1.39 and 35.2±1.77 respectively with significant differences between the two groups. WBC count increased significantly in the infected group as compared with the control group. GRN% showed statistically a significant increase in the values reached to (8.88±0.86) during that period of infection compared with control and Mon% showed a statistically significant increase in values during that period in the infected group, and the Abs titration was the higher in the infected group significantly than control and the cellular response in the infected group revealed increment in phagocytic index of neutrophils than in the control group.","PeriodicalId":32194,"journal":{"name":"AlQadisiyah Journal of Veterinary Medicine Sciences","volume":"37 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41277195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifteen local male black goats (adult bucks 13 15 months weighing (31.9 ± 3.25 Kg) were divided into three equal groups. The first group was left without treatment as control. The second group was submitted to a unilateral (right) spermatic cord torsion. The third group was submitted to bilateral castration by Burdizzo. Weighing of animals and semen were collected from bucks before castration, and after two months of castration, for seminal analysis. In addition, blood samples before castration, after two months of castration and two weeks after orchiectomy were taken for determination of the serum testosterone hormone level. After two months of castration, both testes were orchied surgically in all animals for studying the weight, dimensions and histopathological changes of testes. For that, it can be used as a technique for castration since it was easy and with fewer complications. As well as the unilateral spermatic cord, torsion causes a damage to the contralateral testis.","PeriodicalId":32194,"journal":{"name":"AlQadisiyah Journal of Veterinary Medicine Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42425789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
