All ewes were tested using ultrasonography to ensure that they were free of pregnancy before the start of the experiment. Synchronization of estrus with intravaginal sponges was achieved in ewes, and inseminated with rams at the end of the hormonal program. The rams remained with the females for five days. The ewes were randomly divided into four equal groups (7 ewes in each group). The first group were injected with 160 micro mol / kg body weight and from the fifth day of the inseminated until day 20 of pregnancy The second group was treated by injecting selenium plus vitamin E with (2 ml/head α-Tocopheryl Acetate 68mg/ml Selenium 1.5mg/ml) intramuscular. The first dose was given on day 5 and the second one on day 19 of insemination the early at pregnancy. The third group were injected the arginine with the selenium plus vitamin E emulsion, The fourth group was injected with a physiological saline solution and considered as control group. Blood samples were collected from jugular vein prior to treatment on day 4 of the insemination as well as on days 10, 15, and 18, to measure the changes in the chemical properties at the early of pregnancy. The results of the study showed a significant difference (P≤0.05) between the treatments and control groups. The results showed a decrease in the concentration of urea and ALT enzyme as compared with the first group and control. The present study did not show a significant differences at early of pregnancy in the concentration of cholesterol, total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, and AST enzyme at the early of pregnancy for ewes. The results also showed a significant difference (P≤0.05) between the different withdrawal periods within the same treatment in the control and other groups the concentration of ALT enzyme, and total protein.\u0000 It can be concluded from this study that the use of arginine and selenium with vitamin E improves maternal health by reducing the level of urea and ALT enzyme and maintaining pregnancy after insemination.","PeriodicalId":52734,"journal":{"name":"mjl@ lnbr ll`lwm lbyTry@","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46574245","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}

After slaughter bull and dressing carcass, the three main muscle, longissimus dorsi (LD), semimembranosus (SM) and supraspinatus (SS) were evaluated by injecting brine supplied with extract solutions in different concentrations. (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 % of cold cucumis extract solution and 0.02 % of Papain extract solution and distilled water as a group) at an average of injection of 10 % muscle weight. Overall, there were significant (p˂0.05) reduction of muscle pH, water holding capacity and cooking loss and significant (p˂0.05) increase in collagen solubility, nitrogen solubility in LD, SM and SS muscle samples treated with cucumis extract compared with control and Papain enzyme. The increased concentration of cucumis extract resulted in a significant increase (p˂0.05) in total and myofibrillar protein solubility with a slight increase of sarcoplasmic solubility in muscle samples that treated with cucumis extract compared to control and Papain enzyme. The electrophoresis pattern of muscle treated samples also revealed extensive proteolysis occurring in each muscle type. The results of the sensory evaluation indicated that the tenderness, juiciness and overall acceptability of all treated muscle samples significantly (p<0.05) improved compared with control. In our experiment, generally, cucumis extract tended to be more effective than papain extract for most of the studied traits. Therefor it can be summarized that cucumis extract is one of the best alternative source of proteolytic enzymes for the effective tenderizing of meat.","PeriodicalId":52734,"journal":{"name":"mjl@ lnbr ll`lwm lbyTry@","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44560163","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}

A total of 12 ejaculates were collected from six Anglo Nubain dairy bucks as two ejaculates for each buck aged between (1-5) years over a two week period by using Electro-ejaculation (EEJ) during the non-breeding season. Post collection, the semen samples were evaluated for motility and mass activity. Subsequently, the semen samples were initially diluted in Tris solution (without Egg yolk or Glycerol) in order to preserve the motility of sperm cells. The semen samples from each buck were evaluated for pre-freezing motility and morphology then divided into three sub-samples and diluted in Tris extender with T1 (control) 0% EY, T2 10% EY, and T3 20% EY. The semen samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen (-196 C). After thawing, the semen samples were evaluated for sperm motility and morphology. The morphology of sperm did not differ among treatments nor between pre-freezing and post-thawing evaluations. However, the motility of semen diluted with 10% EY was (P<0.05) numerically but not statistically higher than semen diluted with 0% and 20% EY. According to the obtained results of this study, it is recommended that a 10% EY level or less be included in the Tris extender during cryopreservation of goat semen for superior motility and morphology results.","PeriodicalId":52734,"journal":{"name":"mjl@ lnbr ll`lwm lbyTry@","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43433921","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}

Fecal and blood samples were collected from each animal. Animals infected with gastrointestinal parasites were diagnosed by detecting parasite eggs in fecal samples. Copper concentrations and hematological values were compared between infected and non-infected animals. Different gastrointestinal parasites were diagnosed include; Chabertia ovina, Cooperia spp., Haemonchus contortus, Marshallagia marshalli, Nematodirus spp., Oesophagostomum spp., Ostertagia ostertagia, Strongylus spp. and Trichostrongylus spp. in both single and mixed infection types. Infected sheep and goats suffered from different clinical signs such as emaciation, poor wool or hair, trembling, pale mucous membrane, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. Infected animals showed significantly (p≤0.05) lower serum copper concentrations compared to non-infected animals. Moreover, hematological parameters (RBC, Hb, PCV, MCH, MCV, and MCHC) were lower compared to non-infected animals. In conclusion, gastrointestinal parasitic infection in sheep and goats can decrease serum copper concentrations and blood parameters in infected animals, thereby exacerbating clinical signs.","PeriodicalId":52734,"journal":{"name":"mjl@ lnbr ll`lwm lbyTry@","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70218230","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}
