Objective: To determine the effects of adding of different supplemental fats to flushing diet on reproductive parameters in Iranian Zandi fat-tailed ewes.
Design: Randomized complete block.
Animals: Fifty two Six -year-old Zandi ewes.
Procedure: Four experimental diets: without supplemental fat(1), containing 4.5% calcium salts of fatty acids from tallow(2), containing 4.5% calcium salts of fatty acids from soybean oil(3) and containing 2.25% calcium salts of fatty acids from tallow plus 2.25% calcium salts of fatty acids from soybean oil(4) were tested. After laparoscopy, follicles (3 mm diameter) and corpus luteums (CL) on both ovaries were counted. Number of CLs were designated as ovulation rate (OR) index. At lambing number, weight and sex of lambs and lambing date of ewes were recorded.
Statistical analysis: Analysis of variance was done by general linear model procedure of the SAS.
Results: OR in group 3 was higher than the other ones (p

Objective: Study on some enzymes and protein
electrophoretic patterns in order to find an indicator for
adequacy of heat treatment in meat products. Design: Experimental study. Procedure: The activities of some enzymes, including:
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate amino .transferase
(AST) and alanine amino transferase (ALT), were assayed in meat and heat treated meat products at different time-
temperatures combinations. Extracts of samples were used
for electrophoresis by SDS-PAGE method.
Statistical analysis: Analysis of variance and Duncan’s
test.
Results: LDH was active and demonstrated a good
stability in samples which were heated up to 65°C for 55
minute. However, its activity started to decline thereafter
so that at 70°C no significant activity was observed. ALT
and AST were more heat stable than LDH and their
activities were still present in heat treated products at 70CC
for 30 minutes and vanished at 75°C. Many protein bands
disappeared in SDS-PAGE pattern of meat products which
heated at 65°C or above.
Conclusion: LDH can be considered as a suitable indicator
for meat products that have been heated at 70°C or above.

Objective: To detect and isolate the Gram-positive aerobic and facultative -anaerobic bacteria in hatching eggs.
Design: Prospective longitudinal study.
Animals: One hundred and twenty eggs from the broiler breeder stock and hatchery and 30 new-hatched chicks.
Procedure: Bacteriological studies were done in five different developing stages: immediately after laying, before and after disinfecting, before moving from setter to hatcher and from new hatched chicks. Furthermore, two different samples were taken from the shell and the yolk of each egg. Eggs were washed with Nutrient-Broth Media, stored in 37CC for 24 hours and finally transferred to blood agar containing potassium telorite. Yolk samples were directly transferred to blood agar containing potassium telorite. This process was repeated similarly for those samples from yolk sac of 18-day-old embryos and newborn chicks.
Statistical analysis: Exact fisher test.
Results: The contamination rate of eggshells in different stages were 96.66%, 100%, 100% and 90% ,respectively. Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis, B. polymixa and B. coagulans were isolated in 44.15%, 64.16%, 7.4% and 2.5% of cases, respectively. Staphylococcus aureus and S. saprophytic us were isolated from one yolk (3.3%) and tow yolk sacs (6.6%). Any bacteria was isolated from yolk sac of 18 - day- old embryos.
Clinical implications: The source of such contamination is mostly related to eggshells. In spite of routine managing programs in breeder stocks (such as selection, cleaning, and disinfection of eggs) it dose not effect to reduce Gram positive bacteria on egg shells and contamination of eggs in setter.Hence, yolk sac infection occurs and causes mortality in chicks.

Objective: Comparison of dimensions and cortical zones
of left and right adrenal glands in Lori-Bakhtiari sheep. Design: Descriptive study. Animals: One hundered pairs of adrenal glands of Lori -
Bakhtiari sheep.
Procedure: One hundered pairs of normal adrenal glands
were collected in two age groups (6 month to 1 year and 1 - 1.5 years old) from Shahrekord abattoir. After collecting
the glands and weighing them, some parameters such as:
length, wide and thickness of them were measured by
caliper device. For histological studies, after tissue
preparation and H&E staining, cortical zones and
medullae of glands were recognized. The size of zones
were determined by micrometry.Values of left and right
adrenal glands and two ages were analyzed. Statistical analysis: t- student test.
Results: There was a significant difference between
dimensions of left and right adrenal glands. The mean
weight and length of left adrenal gland was greater than the
right. In 6 month to 1 year group the mean wide of right
adrenal was greater than left and there was a significant
difference between them. These Findings were in contrast
to 1-1.5 years old group. All of measured parameters in 1-
1.5 years group were larger than 6 month to 1 year group

Objective: This study was carried out to investigste the
seroprevalence of Avian Pneumovirus infection in broiler
breeder farms which were located in Urmia city by using
the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Design: A field survey.
Animal: Brioler breeder chickens. Procedure: In this study, 552 blood samples were taken
from 39 broiler breeder flocks. The broiler breeder flocks
were categorized in three age groups: 0-20, 2 1-35 and 36-
55 weeks old. Serum samples were tested for Avian
Pneumovirus antibodies by using a commercial blocking
ELISA kit.
Statistical analysis: Descriptive statistics.
Results: The results of this study showed,207(37%) of
serum samples were positive and 192 (35%) ones were
negative. Furthermore, 153 (28%) of samples were
suspected. Clinical implications: Based on these findings, it can be
concluded that broiler breeder farms which are located in
Uremia city, are serologically positive in regard to Avian
Pneumovirus infections. Since AVP has economical
importance in poultry industry by inducing respiratory
disease, the prevalence of AVP in prevention and control
programs of respiratory diseases has to be highly
considered. J.Fac. Vet. Med. Univ. Tehran. 61,2:129-

Objective: To determine the fauna and prevalence of
parasitic infections of camel (Camelus dromedarius) in
Kerman slaughterhouse.
Design: Sample Survey.
Animal: Sixty slaughtered camel in Kerman slaughterhouse.
Procedure: Examination of different organs (including
alimentary canal, abdominal cavity, liver, lung, kidneys,
heart) and blood smear for parasitic infections were done.
The parasites in the washed contents of alimentary canal,
lung and sliced organ were cleared in lactophenol or
stained with carmine acid collected, counted and indentified under the microscope. Blood smears were stained with Gimsa-stain.
Results: Alimentary tract, liver, lung, nasal cavity and
blood were infected tissues. Eight species of parasites were
detected in abomasum (Homoncus contortus;6.67%),
small intestine (Moniezia expansa,5%; M. benedeni,
6.67%; Stilesia globipunctata, 8.3%), Liver (hydatid cyst,
3.3%), lung (hydatid cyst, 28%; Dictyocaulus fl/aria,
10%), nasal cavity (Cephalopina titillator larvae, 63.3%),
blood: (Trypanosoma evansi, 1.6%).
Conclusion: For the first time we reported these parasites
in camel from Kerman. According to average, minimum
and maximum number of parasites recovered from infected animal no pathogenicity can be noticed for parasite burden
of examined animals. However one camel with 43 larvae of
Cephalopina titilattor in nasal cavity showed clinical
signs, such as sneeze and snort. J.Fac.Vet.Med. Univ.

Objectives: Survey on effects of serotonin agonist on the plasma concentrations of growth hormone (GH) and thyroid hormones (T3 and T4TH) Design: Repeated measures (GLM) were used. Animals: Twenty Kurdish lambs 3-4 months old. Procedure: Animals were randomly divided into four groups. The first group (control) received 2 ml normal saline. The second, third and fourth groups received 120, 240 and 480 mg/kg body weight L-tryptophan through jugular vein, respectively. Blood samples were collected in three periods including before (days 1, 4, 5 and 6), during (days 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 22, 26, 30’ and 34) and after (days 36, 37 and 38) injections. Plasma concentrations of these hormones in unextracted samples was analyzed by radioimmunoassay kit (Tabeshyarnoor kits company, Tehran, Iran). Results: Injection of serotonin agonist increased mean plasma concentration (MPC) of GH (P<0.01). There are no significant differences in MPC of GH within the treated groups. Effects of blood sampling times, period (before, during, after injection) and their interaction with treatment on MPC of GH were significant (P<0.01). MPC of TH (T3 and T4) in all of the treated groups was significantly increased compare with control one (P<0.01). There are no significant differences in MPC of TH within the treated groups. Effects of blood sampling times and period (before, during and after injection) and also their interactive effects with treatment were significant. Conclusion: According to statistical analysis of data we can suggest that serotonin agonist stimulates GH and TH secretion simultaneously. J. Fac. Vet.Med. Univ. Tehran. 61,2:175-179,2006.

Objective: Evaluation of using melatonin implant in rams in
non-breeding season on improvement of reproductive
performance in the ewes.
Design: Clinical trial. Animals: one hundered and seventy seven Atabi ewes and
8 Atabi rams.
Procedure: This study carried out in the following stages:
Stage 1: 177 ewes were complete randomly divided in two
groups. Stage 2: Four rams treated with 12 melatonin
implant (each rams received three implant contain 54 mg
melatonin) and another four rams had not any
treatment. Stage 3: After 35 days, four rams which received
melatonin (treatment group) introduced into the herd of 91
ewes .Four rams that had not any treatment (control group)
introduced into herd of 86 ewes. Then, 60 days later rams
were separated from herds and one month later all ewes
examined for pregnancy through ultrasonography.
Statistical Analysis: Results were analyzed by chi- square test.
Results: Fertility, prolificacy and fecundity values in the
treatment group (ewes wich mated with melatonin treated
rams) and control group (ewes which mated with rams
without melatonin treatment) were 87.1%, 103.8%, 9 [.2%
and 88.4%, 102.6%, 90.7%, respectively. Moreover, there
were not significant differences between them.
Conclusion: we concluded that using melatonin implant in

Objective: Study of histological changes in gonads of fish
received a variety treatment of 1 7-a methyl testosterone.
Animals: Rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss).
Design: Descriptive study.
Methods: Application of 17-a methyl testosterone (MT)
using immersion and/or oral administration methods in two
seasons and in 5 and 11 treatments along with a control
group with no hormonal treatment for each season,
respectively. In immersion method eyed eggs and larvae
were immersed in 250 mg/l MT bath for 2 hours twice 4
and 8 days apart. In oral administration method newly
feeding larvae were fed with food containing 0.5, 1, 2, 3
and 30 ppm MT for 60, 70, 90 and 120 days after
commencing active feeding. Histological examination was
carried out on gonads of 20 fish from each treatment as
well as control group at the age of 11 and 24 months for two seasonal groups of fish, respectively.
Results: Masculinization and sterilization were
successfully carried out on rainbow trout by using a variety
treatment of MT. A range of histological changes were
observed in gonads of different treatment groups. This
included histologically normal males, normal females,
intersex, totally atrophic gonads and sterile fish. [n some
testes a number of follicles were seen among the mass of
spermatozoa. In intersex gonads both male and female cell
types were observed alongside each other. Sterile gonads
could be categorized as: sterile males, sterile females as
well as completely sterile containing residual male cells,
residual female cells and no cells at all, respectively. In a
number of specimens spermatozoon cysts were typically
observed.
Conclusion: Application of 17-a methyl testosterone to
rainbow trout at early stages of development could
dramatically change the histological profile of gonads
ranging from functional testes, to interrex, to sterility.
