Due to severe diarrhea associated with calf scour and septicemia, colibacillosis is one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality in calves. This study investigated the clinical and hematological manifestations as well as the genetic composition of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) strains in septicemic neonatal calves. In this study, 47 fecal...

Animals display numerous physiological and behavioral responses that reduce the effects of heat stress. Moreover, genetic variance is strongly associated with responses to heat stress, including variants of heat shock proteins (HSPs) that are necessary for thermoregulation and stress resistance. Herein, we performed the molecular profiling of the H...

The water buffalo has a seasonal reproductive pattern with reduced sexual activity during the longer photoperiod. The goal of this study was to identify the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A) gene in Iraqi buffalo cows and 3D structure of its protein and phylogeny with other sequences around the world. The 824 bp...

Beef cattle production is a worthwhile worldwide industry that faces many challenges, such as environmental heat stress, which leads to severe economic losses. As part of the heat shock proteins group, Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) is a molecular chaperone common to all eukaryotic cells. It helps to protect cells from damage caused by heat shock. R...

The CYP19 gene is a protein-coding gene that stimulates the transmutation of androgens to estrogens, aromatase activity is related to haplotypes of the CYP19 gene, therefore this study aimed to detect haplotypes of the CYP19 gene in the Holstein bulls. This study, conducted from October 2018 to June 2019. Forty-two Bulls, aged between 4-6 years old...

This study was aimed to assess the efficacy of oral treatment of commercial product of vitamin D3 (VITOL-80 C ORAL ® , Interchemie, Holland) in growing Najdi sheep suffering from musculoskeletal illness due to vitamin D3 deficiency in Basra province, Iraq. Using a Najdi sheep model bred in Iraq, here we focused on measuring the serum levels of tota...

The polymorphisms of the hsp70 gene have been associated with diverse resistance of heat stress in hens. The aim of the current study was to explore the genetic variation of the hsp70 gene in Layer hens that bred in Iraq. One hundred-fifty Lohmann breed hens aged 12 months were used in this study. Blood samples were collected during the period from...

oxins are a primary concern in the poultry industry, as major economic losses occur annually due to contamination of bird food with aflatoxins. At the same time, there is an expansion in the poultry industry, be it broilers or laying, and this expansion coincided with a turbulent increase in the percentage of contamination of poultry feed, which le...

Efeito nocivo das toxinas nas aves domésticas RESUMO As toxinas são uma preocupação primordial na indústria avícola, pois grandes perdas econômicas ocorrem anualmente devido à contaminação dos alimentos das aves com aflatoxinas. Ao mesmo tempo, há uma expansão na indústria avícola, seja de frangos de corte ou poedeiras e, essa expansão, coincidiu c...

The objective of this review is to uncover the activity of oxytocin in various biological systems in the body related to reproductive functions. Oxytocin is a peptide hormone produced in the brain, storage, and secretion from the pituitary gland in most animals especially the mammals. Oxytocin was discovered at first time by Henry Dale in 1906. Whe...

The heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70) has important roles in protecting cells and keeping them alive when exposed to different stress conditions. The polymorphism of the hsp 70 gene could be linked with the ability of stress tolerance. This study aimed to determine the polymorphism of the hsp 70 gene in Iraqi buffaloes and study bits effects on the re...

The most basic definition of immunity is the ability of the organism to resist the invasion of microorganisms and harmful substances. Blood plays an important role in immune development due to the presence of certain types of white blood cells in the blood and in some other tissues have the ability to eliminate strange organisms and destroy it as w...

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a group of proteins produced by cells in response to stress conditions. One of the most important physiological responses to sudden environmental changes is HSPs. The genes of the HSPs are activated when cells are subjected to different stress conditions. The aim of this paper is to give a concise description of the h...

Heat shock proteins Hsp70 proteins belong to the heat shock protein family, boost cells survival in hostile environments, involved in many cellular biological processes. The polymorphism of hsp70 gene relates to the possibility of tolerating different stress conditions. This study was carried out during 1 st April to 31th June 2016, 20 Arabi Rams,...

The HSP70 protein considered as a molecular markers to resist various stress conditions, especially high temperatures. Therefore, the high level of gene expression of hsp70 gene is one of the ways to resist stress conditions, which can vary depending on the polymorphisms. The study aimed to determine the extent of the correlation between gene expre...
