This study carried out on one hundred lungs of Awassi Syrian sheep
were collected randomly from Damascus countryside slaughter
houses.
The research was conducted on 25male lambs of Awassi
sheep to compare the effect of using different levels of whole cotton
seeds (WCS). The experiment extended for 70 days.
The research was conducted on 25male lambs of Awassi
sheep to compare the effect of using different levels of whole
cotton seeds(WCS). The experiment extended for 70 days,
experimental units were rested, then left for an adaptation period of
10 days, during the adaptation period, the animals were housed in
one pen, in the end of the adaptation period, the lambs were
individually weighed, then divided according to live weight into six
equal groups of an average weights (24-25) kg each.
The study carried out on various aged sheep between day to five
months which suffered from diagnostic clinical signs of white
muscle disease. Autopsy to all the sheep dead or slaughtered and
record all observations and histological biopsies of different organs
was collected.
The most outstanding features of gross inspection were wasting,
pale in visual mucous membrane, dyspnea, lung edema, and the
most parts of muscle were white.
This research aimed to identify the value added and marketing efficiency of Syrian
sheep milk which it utilized in livestock products. The central region of Syria (Homs
and Hama) was selected, it has a comparative advantages of processing sheep mil
k
products, according to a questionnaire of sheep owners sample. The questionnaire
depended upon the type of breeding (resident, semi-nomadic and nomadic) in 2011.
This study aimed to achieve the quantitive estimation of costs,
returns, efficiency and income economic indicators of sheep
breeding.
Tow sources of data were used ,Questionnaire of random sample
of breeders included (374 case) in the study area
as primary data
and MOAAR(annual agriculture statistical ), Database of NAPC,
as secondary data.
This study aimed to provide an assessment of some anatomical
characteristics of the formal comparison to the kidneys of dogs
and sheep by studying of macroscopic anatomical differences and
morphometric measurement between the studied kidneys . (20
)
Kidneys were taken randomly during the slaughter of ten heads of
sheep in the local slaughterhouses, regardless of gender and age ,
Animals were clinically free of diseases and (20) kidneys were
taken from ten local stray dogs and regardless of gender and age ,
Animals were clinically free of diseases . the study showed the
presence of Morvomitrih differences in kidney (length – width -
thickness - weight) and some anatomical variations (renal pelvis -
renal Columns )between the kidneys of sheep and dogs. The study
pointed out there are many similarities between the kidneys of
sheep and dogs whereas revealed the length of the dogs kidneys.
The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of lead and cadmium in the
meat, liver and kidney of sheep exposed in the local markets of the city of Latakia, and to
compare the results with those reported by other countries and with the
maximum
acceptable levels for human consumption, Lead and cadmium were determined by atomic
absorption spectrometry (AAS).
The mean concentrations of lead in meat, liver and kidney were 0.043, 0.284 and
0.118 mg/kg fresh weights, respectively, while mean concentrations of cadmium were
0.017, 0.173 and 0.252 mg/kg fresh weights, respectively. Statistical analysis showed a
significant difference in lead and cadmium concentrations between liver and kidney and in
meat.
The research was conducted on 24 ewes of Awasi sheep. The
animal study were divided into 4 groups each includes six ewes.
The first three groups were injected via variant proportions of
BST hormone ( as serial doses 40 mg, 80 mg, and 120 mg)
dail
y for 2 weeks. The fourth group was considered as control
group. It was measured the quantity of morning milk and
measurement of fat and protein and lactose one time every
week. Tissue specimen was taken from udder to study the
changes of secretive vesicles.
This research was done as a collaboration work between Tishreen University and the
General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research in Karahta research station for
improvement of Shami goats and Der Al-Hajar station to set tables for normal
values of
some blood and chemical parameters in Awassi sheep during pregnancy to predict any
nutrition or health disorders. Forty seven Awassi ewes in the same age (in the third season)
were used for that purpose. Blood sample were collected from all ewes every month of the
pregnancy period. Thealanine aminotransferase (ALT),the aspartate aminotransferase
(AST), the alkaline phosphatase (ALP), the glucose (Glu) were analyzed.
Results indicated the existence of significant changes (P<0.05) between the
increase and decrease in all indicators studied throughout The study period, which shows
the change in functional status of liver in conjunction with stage of pregnancy.The overall
average of the effectiveness of enzymes (2.05-26.47), (32.65-181.40) and (11.17-79.76)
U/l for each of the ALP, ALT and AST, respectively, and total concentration of glucose
(37,50-95.20 mg/dl) throughout the study period.
