Effect of "Flit"[TM] on the productive profiles and the histopathological changes of internal organs of adult albino rats

This formulated product as composed of the necessary amounts of pyrethroids and the required amount of the Kerosine caused severe, unacceptable pathological developmental changes. Body weight of newborns showed progressive affection of the newly born, of which Kerosine has marked influence. Mother behaviour was studied from quality of nest, post parturient aggressive interest of mother towards their youngsters were found to be significantly affected. Male sexual activity was revealed from weight of testis or accessory organs and semen quality. Kerosine alone induced significant differences. Estrous cycle was affected and regressive activity prolonged whatever the animal is exposed. Number of dead and resorbed foeti was significantly different in Kerosine and the whole compound. Teratogenic affection of the born foeti were clear even with Kerosine alone and absence of accessory elements [thymus gland]. Thus, this formulation is described as being severely hazardous and care should be taken even with the manipulation of Kerosine alone

Insufficiency of kerosine as solvent to pyrethroids [tetramethrih and permethrin] in the formulation of insecticides and its influence on blood parameter in adult albino rats

This investigation involved the effect of Kerosine for long time [288 days in these concentrations] as a stress hazardous influence that caused unfavorable manifestations. The direct effect was on hemobiotic system which was concluded from the MCHC and was more indicated in the females than males and that was more clear in the Neutrophiles / lymphocytic ratios. This investigation showed also the hormonal affection as for the cortisol, testosterone leading to a more hazard insufficiency of the testicular functions. Thus it is clear that this formulation has a damaging effect on the productive system as well as the haemopoetic system affecting the blood initiating cells as revealed from the peripheral blood studies. Thus it is necessary to avoid the production of this formulation due to its direct effect on the blood forming system as well as the hormonal profiles in both male and female in individual animals

Effect of detoxified aflatoxin-contaminated rations on broiler chickens

The effect of aflatoxin contaminated rations with 1000 ppb AFB1, detoxified by dilution, ammoniation and reaction with formaldehyde on broilers was investigated. The dilution method to 50 ppb revealed anemia and hypoproteinemia, but there was significant decrease in leucocytes and in gamma globulins and an increase in beta globulin. This indicates that the dilution must be to less than 20 ppb or to the national permissible limits. On the other hand, detoxification with ammonia and formaldehyde eliminated completely the aflatoxin. This was indicated by the elimination of blood abnormalities and relieved hypoproteinemia. But, it is very important to get rid of chemical residues of ammonia and formaldehyde as well as aflatoxin residues

Inadequate vitamin A syndrome among Anglo-Nubian goats

Diseased manifestations observed among imported Anglo-Nobian goats appearing as deformity in their knee joints were mainly due to vitamin A deficiency. These animals were kept for long time on dry rations. Carotene and vitamin A contents of these rations were not adequate for pregnant and growing goats

Some relationships with creatine metabolism in meat of sheep with some adverse biological condition

Biochemical studies of muscle extracts from sheep under different health conditions gave a positive correlation between total creatine and myoglobin content. Changes in inorganic phosphorus and acid soluble phosphorus are discussed in relation to creatine values. A negative correlation between creatine and inorganic phosphorus content is observed

Some macro and micro-elements of mutton meat under different health conditions

Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and copper, zinc, cobalt and manganese were estimated in mutton meat under different health conditions. Copper, zinc, cobalt, manganese and magnesium values had significant increase in the fresh drugged animals than the normal ones. The values of Ca, Mg and Zn before and after rigor mortis differed significantly

Immunological studies of the Egyptian water buffalo [bos bubalis]: preparation of immunoglobulins from buffalo serum

Three classes of buffalo immunoglobulins were chemically precipitated as crude materials. Using column chromatography, they were obtained in pure fractions and were designated as: IgM, IgG I and IgA. The IgG was clearly separated into 2 sub classes: IgGI and IgG2. The purity of the prepared fractions was tested and proved by Ouchterlony and Immunoelectrophoresis techniques against polyvalent and monospecific anti-cow IgM, IgG and IgA antisera
