The aim of this study was to investigate metabolic profile by means of determining the hematologic and biochemical parameters in some dairy herd in Sanandaj area. The blood samples were collected randomly from coccygeal vein in 4 dairy farms from 3 predefined groups of animal, i.e. peak lactation, mid lactation and low lactation (7 samples in each group) in two seasons of summer and winter. The following metabolites and enzymes were measured on blood samples: Glucose, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine phosphokinase and hematocrit. Results showed that the concentration of serum glucose and AST were in normal level, whereas results were showed elevated level of inorganic phosphorus and CPK, but decreased level of calcium. In addition the results showed significant differences between the glucose concentration, inorganic phosphorus, AST and hematocrit with season. (p≤0.05),while no significant difference was noticed between calcium concentration and CPK with season. (p>0.05). There were significant differences between milk yield and AST, hematocrit. (p≤0.05), but differences between the other metabolites and milk yield were not statistically significant (p>0.05). The results of this study indicated the presence of a number of metabolic diseases at least in subclinical forms, in this area (i.e. hypocalcaemia…) and concluded the influence of environmental factors on metabolic profiles. So the results confirmed to perform metabolic profile test continuously in this area, however, in further large scales. Manuscript profile -

2 - A study on the relationship between some serum biochemical parameters and the incidence of ovarian cysts in Dairy farms in Arak, Iran.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the blood serum biochemical parameters including glucose, phosphorus, total protein, blood urea nitrogen and triglyceride, and also some clinical features in cows with ovarian cysts and compare them with healthy cows. In this study 80 dairy cows were divided to 2 groups of cows with ovarian cysts and healthy cows that contain 40 cows, then blood samples and their clinical information were collected. The results of the present study showed that the most type of the ovarian cysts are luteal, and anestrus is the most common clinical symptom observed in cows with ovarian cysts. Furthermore, evaluation of serum biochemical parameters showed that there were no significant differences in BUN, phosphorus and total serum protein levels between cystic and healthy cows, while glucose and triglycerides levels were significantly different. It can be concluded that low glucose and high triglyceride levels play an important role in the development of ovarian cysts in the study area. Manuscript profile -

Du MoreSarcocystis infection is one of the most common protozoan infections between humans and animals that is caused by different species of Sarcocystis. The parasite is pathogenic to animals, including cattle and sheep, and also causes gastrointestinal symptoms in humans. Due to the health importance of this parasite, in this study, the rate of infection with macroscopic and microscopic sarcocystis cysts in cows slaughtered in Kermanshah slaughterhouse was investigated.In this study, 100 carcasses of cows were randomly selected and samples of esophagus, diaphragm, heart and tongue were prepared and examined. . The samples were examined by direct observation (macroscopic) and compression smear (Impression smear), which are diagnostic methods in animal tissues. The basis for the diagnosis of microscopic cysts was the preparation of pressure spread of the samples and then staining them with Giemsa dye and microscopic observation of parasitic bradyzoites.No macroscopic cysts were observed in the direct observation method. However, in the compression expansion method, 100% of the studied cows were positive for microscopic cysts. There was also a significant difference between the amount of infection in different muscles.All of the studied cows were infected with the parasite Sarcocystis, and the heart was identified as the most infected tissue.The present study shows that the compression propagation method, which is a simple, inexpensive and rapid method, has an acceptable sensitivity for detecting microscopic sarcocystis cysts.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Cryptosporidium in ruminants in Kurdistan province.The present study was applied and random For this purpose, a total of 239 fecal samples from 75 sheep, 43 goats and 121 cows At different ages of less than 1 year, 1 to 3 years and 3 years and older in both sexes, for staining and observation of oocysts. To examine the presence of parasites, all samples were stained by Zill Nielsen method and examined microscopically. After analyzing the collected data, the findings showed that the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in ruminants in Kurdistan province is 15.06% of the tested samples. Also, the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in Kurdistan province did not show a significant difference compared to age, sex and geographical extent..(P < 0/05)The results show that the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in ruminants in Kurdistan province is consistent with other studies in this regard. To reduce this prevalence, anti-parasitic health and prevention programs can be used. Manuscript profile -

Trichobezoar is the accumulation of hair and fur that passes through the esophagus and becomes a foreign body in the stomach or intestines. The pyloric region is a frequent site of obstruction which can block the gastric outlet. The notability of diet in rabbits is so high that poor nutrition with low fiber, protein, carbohydrates and high fat result in bloating and accumulation. Materials & Methods: In the studied animal, clinical signs, graphs and blood analysis revealed an accumulation of gas in the stomach and intestines and an aggregation of foreign body. The Exploratory laparotomy technique was approved to correct the complication. Results: After induction of anesthesia and a ventral midline incision, the furry and greasy masses were removed and the incision area was sutured. The animal began to gain weight after 14 days by correcting the diet and kept on living. Conclusion: It is recommended that to preparing starter feed due to a limited capacity for hydrolysis of several components at early ages, high amounts of digestible foods which are rich in fat and protein, with low fiber should be used to prevent disorders such as bloating and obstruction.

To create adhesions in the abdomen, the serous surface of the descending colon was rubbed 100 times with a dry tampon so that patchy spots appeared on its surface. Then, 10 parallel incisions with a length of 3 cm were made on the left wall of the abdomen. At this stage, the rabbits were divided into four equal groups of 6.In group 1 (control)an amount of 5 ml of normal saline - group 2 (dexamethasone)an amount of 5.4 ml of normal saline + 0.6 mg / kg dexamethasone (0.5 ml) - in group 3 (honey)an amount of 5 ml of honey and in group 4 (Honey - Dexamethasone) 4.5 ml of honey + 0.6 mg / kg dexamethasone (0.5 ml) was poured into the abdominal cavity.The rabbit's abdominal muscles and skin were then sewn normally and cared for 21 days. After 21 days, all rabbits were sacrificed painlessly by anesthesia injection and after necropsy the degree of intra-abdominal adhesions was determined macroscopically. Then, for histopathological examinations and determination of fibrosis, a tissue sample was taken from the abdominal wall and colon.Results: The control group showed a high degree of adhesion between the abdominal wall and organs as well as large masses of adhesion. In the dexamethasone group, the adhesions were thick and narrow bands between the internal organs of the abdomen. In the honey and honey-dexamethasone groups, very little adhesions (up to two rabbits) were observed in the form of very thin and limited bands.Conclusion: The results of this study show that intraperitoneal use of honey and dexamethasone reduces intra-abdominal adhesions after surgery in rabbits. But honey is more effective than dexamethasone to prevent adhesions and reduce peritoneal inflammatory reactions as well as wound healing. Manuscript profile
