Objective: To evaluate the eletrocardiographic changes in the experimentally induced ascites in broiler chicks using T3 model. Design: Comparective study.
Animals: A total of 150 one- day- old male cockerels from Ross breed.
Procedure: Chicks were randomly divided into two equal groups (control and test). Chicks were reared for six weeks. T3 (1.5 ppm) was added to the diet of the test group from the 6th day of rearing period to the end of 6th week. At the end of each week, 5 chicks from each group were selected and electrocardiographic recordings were performed.
Statistical analysis: Student's "t" test and Analysis of Variance.
Results: There were significant elevation of the amplitude of R
and S waves at the end of the 3 rd and 6 th weeks (for R waves), 2 nd
and 6th weeks (for S waves) in the test group in the leads III, a VF and a YR. The amplitude of both of these waves were elevated significantly in the test group, when they were considered as total means of weeks. There were significant elevations of the amplitude of R waves at the end of 6th compared with the other weeks in all 3 leads and the amplitude ofS waves at the end of 6th week compared with the 5th in the lead III. There were no significant changes in the direction of MEA.
Conclusion: Recorded electrocardiograms can be used effectively to evaluate the likelihood of development of ascites syndrome in broiler chickens. The increase in the amplitude of Rand S waves could be considered as the sign of ventricular hypertrophy. J. Pac.

Objective: Determination of reference values of serum proteins in Khuzestan indigenous buffaloes.
Animals: A total of 154 apparently healthy mature and immature buffaloes including both sexes.
Procedure: Blood samples were taken from Jagular vein. Total serum protein and protein fractions were determined by biuret and agarose gel electrophoresis, respectively.
Statistical analysis: Two ways ANOYA and the least significant difference test were used to compare mean values of different proteins of male and female, mature and immature buffaloes. Also the student t-test was used to compare mean serum protein values between mature and immature buffaloes in both sexes. The regression analysis was used to compare the effect of age and sex on protein percentage between male and female, mature and immature buffaloes. Results: In this study 4 main serum proteins as albumin, ?,? and y-globulin were separated. y-globulin mean value in females was higher than males. ? and y-globulin mean values in mature buffaloes were higher than immatures and ? -globulin mean value in immatures was significantly higher than matures. In mature males a-globulin mean value was significantly lower than immatures. Total globulin, p and y- globulin in mature females were significantly higher than immatures and a-globulin and albumin in immature females were significantly higher than matures. y-globulin and total globulin in mature females were higher than mature and immature males. Conclusion: Blood serum proteins of Khuzestan indigenous buffaloes consist of 4 fractions as albumin, a, p and y-globulins. The variable age effect on proteins significantly and with increasing age p and y-globulin .mean values increased but albumin and a-globulin mean values decreased. The variable sex just effected on y-globulin mean
value in females and was higher than males. J. Fac. Vet. Med Univ.

Objective: Macroscopic study of different regions of one-humped camel eyes.
Design: Descriptive study.
Animals: Six pairs of eyes of six mature camel.
Procedure: Camel eyes were provided from semnan slaughterhouse, fixed in 10% formalin, dissected and studied. The layers of eye were studied by stereomicroscope. The cornea, lens and pupil were measured. Result: The ci1lia of upper eyelid are longer than lower eyelid in camel. There are many tactile hairs up the medial cantus of eye in the camel. The motion of upper eyelid is more than lower eyelid. Mean sixs of internal axis to external axis in cornea is around 2.92
in right and 2.93 in left eye. Mean sixs of dorsoventral axis of cornea is 2 in right eye and 1.95 in left eye of camel. All measurements are showen in tables.
Conclusion: There are adipos tissue in the ventral, ventromedial
and dorsomedial aspects of eyeball. This adipose tissue is cause of easy motion of third eyelid on the cornea of eyes. The cornea and pupil of camel eye are oval shape, but the medial poles are wider. The iris has a few folds in the dorsal and ventral borders. The folds of dorsal border of iris are greater. These folds are absent in other ruminant such as cattle. The tapetum is absent in the camel eye. J. Fac. Vet. Med. Univ. Tehran. 58, 4:313-318, 2003.

Objective: Evaluation of an ELISA test using the cellular schizont antigen for the diagnosis of Theileria anulata infection.
Design: Descriptive study.
Animals: A total of 124 cattle, 56 cases with clinical features and 68 samples without clinical features and apparently healthy.
Procedure: Serum was collected from cattle for the detection of anti- Theileria antibadies by indirect ELISA, using the cellular schizont antigen and the microplates coated with this antigen. On the blood-smears from the same cases, microscopic observation was done for determine the percentage of positeve and negative cases of Theileria infection.
Statistical analysis: Descriptive statistics.
Results: Out of 56 serum samples, belong to animals with clinical features, 42 cases (75%) were ELISA-Positive and the rest (25%) were ELISA-negative whereas, all of them had positive blood¬-smears. Also, out of 68 serum from apparently healthy animals, 19 cases (27.9%) were ELISA-positive and 15 cases (22%) were blood smear-positive.
Conclusion: The present study by using of cellular schizont as solid phase antigen, showed high quality for detection of anti¬-Theileria antibodies by ELISA, and this test could detect 54 cases (76%) from a total of 71 animals with Thieleria-positive blood¬-smears. The results showed good correlation (80% coincidence) between the data obtained by two methods. Therefore, the ELISA could be recomended as a screening test for detecting of Theileria infection in cattle. J. Fac. Vet. Med. Univ. Tehran. 58,4:319-322, 2003.

Objective: To determine the characteristic features of the cuticle and its supplements in Trichostrongylidae in Iran.
Design: Descriptive study.
Material and Methods: The samples including Trichostrongylus probolurus, Nematodirus abnormalis, Nematodirella, Haemonchus contortus, Marshallagia marshalli and Comelostrongylus mentulatus were collected from digestive systems of the ruminants in Iran. Sections were prepared and studied by means of light microscope. Results: In this study cuticle and its supplements including cephalic inflation, the spine at the female's end, deirid, synlophe (its length, number and decoration of ridges) and thickness of the cuticle were compared in letween different species. - Cephalic inflation and the spine are present in Nabnormalis and Nematodirella. - Deirids are present in Hcontortus, Mmarshalli and Cmentulatus. In Hcontortus they are closer to the anterior end than two other species. - Synlophe is present in all species except T.probolurus. Synlophe begins from anterior part of the worm and ends just before the vulva in Nabnorma/is and Nematodirella. In Hcontortus it ends at midbody while it continues up to the posterior end of the body in Mmarshalli and Cmentulatus. The number of the ridges from the beginning to the end of the synlophe is decreased in Nabnormalis, while they are increased in Nematodirella. There are at most 29 ridges in both of them. In Hcontortus, Mmarshalli and Cmentulatus they are increased in anterior half of the synlophe, then decreased
in posterior half of the synlophe. The maximum number of ridges in Hcontortus, Mmarshalli and Cmentolatus are 36,46 and 42, respectively.
Conclusion: In general, presence of synlophe, its length, the number of ridges and their decoration on the cuticle are highly variable in Trichostrongylidae nematodes, so that they can be used as taxonomic criteria at the level of species. J. Fac. Vet. Med. Univ. Tehran. 58, 4:335-340,2003.

Objective: To determine situation of liver and pancreas in different stages of growth and the features of development of the glands from the first day after hatching up to two months of larval life. Design: Descriptive study.
Animals: A total number of 80 larvae and fingerling of Acipenser persicus.
Procedure: Collecting larvae on days 1 to 56 and fixation in bouin's solution and then conducting routine histological procedures by autotechnicon. Sections of 6 microns were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and mallory and studied under light microscope. Statistical analysis: Descriptive statistics.
Results: At first day there were no traces of liver and pancreas, but up to day 5 some evidence of formation of liver with a serosa covering was observed. Also pancreas was present as a simple gland only consisting of exocrine portion. By day 16, a high vacuolaties were seen, in hepatolytes which decreased number of during following days. Many glycogen deposits were also present there. In pancreas until day 25 the evidence of langerhans islets was observed along with the extension of blood vessels. From day
32 to day 56, beside increasing liver bulk and the expansion of sinusoids and portal tracts, the major part of pancreas was composed of secretory acini with zymogenic granules.
Conclusion: In this species of sturgeon, like other osteichthyes, liver and panereas are of the first simple organs forming on the
first days. Moreover these glands are very similar to those of other fishes and even mammals. Liver from day 5 was present as an indipendent organ, cranial to intestines. By day 16, rate of lipid vacuols was more and then decreased and glycogen deposits was seen due to decreasing fat needs and increasing liver activity. Besides sinusoids and portal tracts were developing. Pancreas was formerly consisted of exocrine portion but from day 32 endocrine portion was developed and by day 56 pancreas was increased. Gradually developments are dependent their hutritional requirement. Especially in final stages of development they have a major role in metabolism of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. J. Fac. Vet.

Objective: To compare the effects of different diluents with levels of 13 and 7% glycerol on motility of buffalo spermatozoa (pre¬and post- freezing and thawing).
Samples: Comparative experimental study.
Animals: Twelve ejaculates of2 buffalo bulls (4.5 and 6 years old). Procedure: Semen samples with initially very good and excellent quality (motility 4 and 5) were selected and immediately evaluated for motility. Then, aliquots of each semen sample were subjected to dilution, cooling, equilibration, freezing and thawing as follow: Experiment 1. Phosphate and citrate extenders with 13 and 7% glycerol were used. Experiment 2. Glucose and cysteine were added in the same extenders and were compared to the effects of tris extender on motility of buffalo spermatozoa.
Statistical analysis: Descriptive statistics.
Results: The motility of spermatozoa maintained up to a limited time of storage in phosphate and citrate extenders with low level of glycerol and beyond of this storage time (after equilibration and thawing) the motile life of spermatozoa deteriorates quickly. Tris diluent proved to be superior in maintaining the motility of spermatozoa. Also, the sperm motility and recovery rate were higher in the semen extended in tris diluent with 13% glycerol as compared to those extended with 7% glycerol (70 and 87.5% versus 52 and 65%). Clinical implications: Based of our findings, we suggest the use of tris diluent with 13% glycerol for the cryopreservation of buffalo bull
spermatozoa. J. Fac. Vet. Med. Univ. Tehran. 58, 4:355-358, 2003

with lactophenol solution and for histopathological exmination of the nodular lesions, tissue samples were stained with Haematoxilan and Eosin (H&E).
Results: In parasitological examination of the isolated helminths, based upon morphological and size characteristics, the parasites were identified as Cheilospirura hamoulosa. In histopathological exmination of the nodular lesions, inflammatory reactions with infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages were observed along with hyperplastic changes in the glandular region of gizzard. Conclusion: Cheilospirura hamoulosa is able to produce nodular
lesions in gizzard of indigenous birds. J. Fac. Vet. Med. Univ. Tehran. 58,4:375-376,2003.

Objective: Comparing the efficacy of coccidiostat drugs, Diclazuril, Salinomycin, and Narasin on performance parameters of broiler chickens in experimental coccidial infection.
Design: Completely randomised block.
Animals:A total number of 300 male day-old Ross 208 broiler chickens.
Procedure: The chicks were randomly divided to 5 groups of 60 birds (3 replicates/treatment), and placed in battery cages. The groups were: 1) which did not receive any coccidiostatic drug or oocysts (negative control), 2) which did not receive any coccidiostatic drug but was challenged with oocysts (positive control), 3) Diclazuril, 4) Narasin, and 5) Salinomycin. Treatment groups received the related coccidiostats from the beginning of the rearing period up to 3 days before slaughter( 49 days of age). Birds in all groups (except group 1), were challenged with 105 of mixed inoculum of E. tenella, E. maxima, and E. acervulina. Eight days
post-challenge, fecal samples were taken and oocysts per gram of feces determined for five consecutive days. By weighing the chicks and their consumed feed at 28 (before challenge), 35,42 and 49 days (end of the rearing period), mean of body weight (BW), weight gain (WG), feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of all groups determined weekly.
Statistical analysis: Analysis of variance, Tukey's test.
Results: At 35 days old (1 week after challenge), the differences among WGs of treated and positive control groups were significant (P< 0.01). At the same age, there were not any significant differences
among FCR of treated and negative control groups, but FCRs of all groups were significantly better than positive control (P0.05). At 49 days old, FCR of Salinomycin was better than positive control (p< 0.05), but no significant differences observed among treatments(P>0.05). Diclazuril and Salinomycin significantly reduced the OPG in comparison with positive control (p< 0.001).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, using these coccidiostats can improve the performance parameters of broiler chickens and their usage can be recommended specially when
coccidial infections may occure. Comparison the performance of treatment groups showed partial improvement of BW and FCR by Diclazuril and Salinomycin respectively. In addition these two coccidiostats reduced OPG significantly. J. Fac. Vet. Med. Univ.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to designing a simple, sensetive and cheep method based on dot ELISA system for detecting of seroconversion to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV). Procedure: In the first step rabbit antibovine immunoglobins was conjugated with horseradish peroxidas and purifide IBR virus was used as coated antigen on nitrocellulose membrane. In order to standardization of the kit, 50 positive and 50 negative sera that tested by comercial ELISA kit (Svanova) and evaluated the best dilution of the materials that used in the test.
Results: The optimum dilution of different compound of the dot ELISA kit were: 1 :200 for HRPO conjugated antiglobulin, 1:8 for serum and 1 for tetramethylbenzidin as substrate.
In order to evaluation of correlation of dot ELISA method with comercial ELISA kits, 488 serum samples were tested by two mentioned testes.
Statistical analysis: Chi squire test.
Conclusion: Dot ELISA have revealed 88/9% corrlation with plate ELISA and no significant difference between results of this two tests. J. Fac. Vet. Med. Univ. Tehran. 58, 4: 383-387, 2003

Objective: To compare histological changes of the vaginal wall during follicular and luteal phase of the oestrus cycle in river buffaloes.
Design: Descriptive study.
Animals: 30 specimens from cyclical buffaloes in the follicular and luteal phase.
Procedures: Vaginal specimens were prepared and stained by the method of Hematoxylin - Eosine and three special methods of Verhoof, Toluidine blue and P.A.S. The number of cell layers; type of epithelial cells, vascular activities; distribution of plasma cells, elastic and collagen fibers in the mucosa and submucosa were studied. Statistical analysis: Data from buffalloes in follicular or luteal phase were compared using student "t" test, ANOVA, correlation coefficient and regression analysis.
Results: Results of the present histological study indicated that during follicular phase, the epithelial cell structure was stratified cuboidal or squamous, which in some areas especially in the cranial part of vagina one layer of the columnar secretory cells was over the superficial layer of the epithelium. In addition, secretory activity of epithelial cells and blood vessels increased in the follicular phase, which was less active in the cranial part. In the luteal phase, epithelial
structure was stratified cuboidal and squamous. There was significant increase in accumulation of lymphocytes, plasma cells and mast cells. This may increase the histological defence mechanism of the organ. Results of the present hystomorphometry study indicated that the thickness and the number of the cellular layers of the vaginal epithelium in the follicular phase, in three different parts of the vagina increased significantly (P

Objective: To assess the impact of sodium chloride, pH and acid type on destruction effect of microwave heating on Listeria monocytogenes biotype 4a in liquid medium.
Design: Experimental study
Procedure: Bacterial suspension (1.5 x 107 CFU ml-1) in nutrient
broth with different concentrations of sodium chloride (0.5, 1.5
and 3.0 percentage) was prepared at various pH values (4.5, 5.5 and 6.5) induced by hydrochloric acid, and acetic acid. The suspensions were irradiated with microwave at successive five ¬second intervals and bacterial colonies were counted with standard plate count method. Radiation was continued until the microbial count reached to zero. Each experiment was repeated three times. Statistical analysis: One way ANOVA repeated measures.
Results: Various concentrations of sodium chloride had no significant effect on destruction of Listeria monocytogenes by microwave
heating (p>0.05). At pH=4.5, the destruction effect of microwave
radiation was significantly greater than those at pH values of 5.5 and 6.5 (p0.05).
Conclusion: Several factors affect both microwave heating and heat resistance of microorganisms. The effect of each factor such as sodium chloride may be affected by interactions among other factors, resulting in opposite effects of the considered factor. The
present study shows that sodium chloride in liquid media at levels equal to those offood (0.5-3.0 percentage), had no significant effect
on destruction of Listeria monocytogenes by microwave heating. The heat sensitivity of bacteria increases by acidic condition.
Although the destruction effect of microwave radiation increased significantly at pH=4.5, it was not affected at pH levels equal to those of food (5.5 -6.5). At equal pH levels, organic acids increase the destruction effect of heat more than inorganic acids. At the present study, however, no significant difference was observed in liquid media containing acetic acid or hydrochloric acid at pH=4.5.
