Hepatic abscesses have a major economic impact on the stock-breeding industry because of liver condemnation and reduced animal performance and carcass yield. This research was aimed to determine occurrence and bacterial causes of hepatic abscesses of goats slaughtered at Urmia abattoir. Post-mortem examination of 1200 goats (680male, 520 female) showed that 6 (0.5%) exhibited hepatic abscesses. Three (0.58%) abscesses were found in female and 3(0.44%) abscesses were found in male. Most of the abscesses were found in the right lobes (50%) and in diaphragmatic surfaces (50%) of livers. Regarding the presence of abscesses, there was no significant difference between sexes, lobes and surfaces of livers (p>0.05). The abscesses were cultured for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The following six species of bacteria were identified: Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (3 cases), Arcanobacterium pyogenes (2 cases), Escherichia coli (2 cases), Fusobacterium necrophorum (1case), streptococcus spp. (1case), Pseudomonas spp. (1case).The result of this study showed that C. Pseudotuberculosis, the causative agent of caseous lymphadenitis, is the most important cause of hepatic abscesses in goats in Urmia. In the present study F. necrophorum is reported for first time from goat hepatic abscesses. Manuscript profile

The magnesium, being one of the most important metabolic elements, has a very major function in the animals growing processes. Also magnesium has a function in structure and operation of many important enzymes which are effective in metabolic reactions of body. Reduction of serum magnesium rate may conduce to weakness of immune system, increase of sensitivity to infectious diseases, growth drop, sexual and breeding disorders, etc. In this study, during four seasons of year, the bleed accomplished by using venoject tubes (obtained from jugular vein) from sample randomly, on 400 pregnant cross breed cow, apparently healthy at Tabriz abattoir. Immediately, all of the blood samples were transferred to laboratory beside the ice packs. The end of each season, after centrifuging, the serum mg levels were measured by Randox biochemical kit, and using the spectrophotometry method and then results analysed. In this study mean serumal rate of magnesium varied in different seasons (there was a correlation between Mg levels and seasonal temperature changes). The lowest level of Mg was measured in winter that according to statistical analysis (ANOVA, P<0.001) these variations statistically was significant. Results of recent study also showed that there is a significant correlation between the age of dairy cattles and their serumal Mg levels (elder cattles had higher serumal levels of Mg, P<0.001). According to results of pierson correlation ratio test there was not significant relation between fetus age of pregnant cows and Mg levels. This clear reduction Mg level of serum in winter may be the result of excessive using hay in diet, on available to green grass and also the excessive cold weather in winter. Manuscript profile

Theileriosis is a protozoan disease of tropical and subtropical areas. The main cause  of bovine theileriasis in Iran is Theileria annulata, which is  transmitted by ticks of the Hyalomma Commonly every year in warm seasons, theileriasis  incidence or prevalence by the activity of ticks. In this study 50 cows affected to theileriasis were studied. Blood samples were taken from infected cows and their blood sera were taken. Using laboratory kits of the enzyme ALP and GGT the level of the activity of this enzymes in the sera of affected cows was measured with spectrophotometer and following results were obtained. The amount of ALP and GGT enzymes in affected cows was higher than the normal amount of them in healthy cows. Based of results in this study the average level of ALP activity in affected cows was 221.75 U/lit compared to 200 Unit in healthy cows, that reflecting a slight increase. For the enzyme GGT in infected cows the mean level of activity was 40.89 U/lit, and it showed a significant increase compared to the normal level in healthy cows. The increase in the activity of GGT enzyme in infected cows was more than that of ALP in this cow. Manuscript profile

The effect of body condition score (BCS) and body weight of fat tail Afshari sheep at mating time on reproductive performance were studied . Total 162 fat tail Afshari ewes (3-7 years old) randomly selected from animal unit of Zanjan University. Ewes divided to 4 treatments groups according BCS (2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 and more). The reproductive parameters such as lambs born to ewes after mating, number of lambs born per lambing, Kg lambs born per ewe mating, pregnancy period , lambs birth weight, and some blood metabolites such as glucose, total protein, albumin and globulin were determined. The result of this study indicated that BCS had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the lambs born per ewe at mating. Ewes with BCS =3 had a better performance in lambing rate and Kg lambs born per ewe. While the lambing rate reduced in ewes with BCS of 3.5 or more. Ewes with BCS=3 had more (P<0.05) normal estrous while ewes with low BCS had shorter estrous period. Birth weight of lambs was significantly affected by body weight of their dams (P<0.01) but BCS had no significant effect on lambs’ weight at birth and weaning. There was significant effect of BCS on plasma FSH concentration in ewes with BCS more than 3 but no significant differences was seen in blood metabolite parameters in this study. It is concluded that BCS had significant effect on lambing rate and lambs born per ewe (P<0.05). The BCS of 3 at mating time could optimize profitability of Afshari ewes. Manuscript profile

Toxoplasmosis of the most common causes of human parasitic infections and other  vertebrates, which has extensive worldwide distribution. The aim of  this study served to determine the level of human toxoplasmosis infection Mianeh city is moderate in 2009. Methods: In this cross - sectional study of serum 200 men and women admitted to city level laboratories in the mid 2009 randomly selected after completing a questionnaire, the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii. The results using the Chi square test were statistically analyzed. Of 200 blood samples examined, 82 samples, 41% have IgG antibodies and 16 samples, 8% had IgM antibodies to meet the 68 patients with chronic infections and 14 infections were acute or sub acute toxoplasmosis. The results showed that between toxoplasmosis and education level, age, marital status and occupation of those statistical relationships exists between gender, but individuals, contact with cats, soil, half-cooked meat, how to wash vegetables and history of hospitalization there was no significant relationship.  Discussion: The results show high prevalence of Toxoplasma in the Mianeh is about the same prevalence of IgG and IgM positive shifter somewhat higher than rates reported in similar studies conducted in the northwest region And this can be partly due to high sensitivity and specificity of quantitative Chemiluminescence's technique than other methods in the diagnosis of Toxoplasma Serology is.

Enzymes are organic catalysts, that can Trigger or accelerate chemical reactions and covert One or more organic compounds to organic production. This study was designed to investigate the influence of supplementing multi-enzyme on liver biochemical parameters (LDH, ALP, AST, and ALT) and performance parameters of rainbow trout growers (150 ± 5 g). The multi-enzyme were incorporated into a commercial pellet ration to constitute three experimental diets containing 500, 1000, 1500 gram multi-enzyme per one ton feed intake, while a fourth diet without the multi-enzyme supplement served as the control diet. Fish were sampled at 10, 20, 30 and 40 days after commencement of the feeding trial to determine feed conversion ratio (FCR), weight and length rate and survival rate.  At the end of the raising period 50 fish from each and finally 200 fish were selected randomly and blood sampling performed and then liver biochemical parameters were measured. Results of our study indicated that effect of different supplementing multi-enzyme levels on feed conversion ratio (FCR), weight and length rate and survival rate, there was not any meaning relation in dose rates (p>0.05). In this study, 1500 g/ton group displayed significantly reduction (P>0.05) AST levels compared to 500 and 1000 g/ton groups. The result showed that 500g/ton group displayed significantly reduction (P>0.05) ALT levels compared to control group. 500, 1000 and 1500g/ton groups displayed significantly reduction (P>0.05) LDH levels compared to control group.  Also, There was no meaningful relationship between multi-enzyme level in ration ALP levels (P>0.05). According to this study, the use of multi-enzymes, can reduced amounts of ALT, AST and LDH levels in rainbow trout growers. Therefore, taking these supplements can be recommended, in considered values for use in aquaculture. Manuscript profile

Escherichia coli are highly pathogenic bacteria in human being and animals. Extraordinary Antibiotic consumption in animals and poultries for controlling of E-coli can cause antibiotic-resistance in these microorganisms. One of these resistance methods is plasmid-based resistance in these bacteria. Some of the plasmids are heat-sensitive and destroy in inadequate overheating. The main aim of this study was evaluation of antibiotic-resistance ability by using the heat in E-coli isolated from poultry. Among this study 25 E-coli (probable) samples isolated from infected broilers. Then samples transferred to bacteriology laboratory and cultured in Mc-Kanky agar specific medium. In next stage these samples were transferred to differential Enterobacteriaceae family media for identifying the bacteria species. Then isolates transferred in two different BHI media and each one simultaneously incubated in 37°c and 43.5 °c. In last stage the sensitivity to proper antibiotics were measured by using disk-diffusion (Kirby Bauer) method based on CLSI criteria. The results were evaluated in both incubated (37°c and 43.5 °c) groups in three different categories: sensitive, intermediate and resistant. The highly antibiotic-sensitivity in this survey was seen in incubated E-coli isolations with Chloramphenicol discs (52% & 56%) in both temperatures and greet antibiotic-resistance was observed in groups with Erythromycin 92% discs but no significant different was seen in reduction of bacterial antibiotic-resistance in two different temperatures incubated E-coli isolations.
