Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of using different levels of American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) powder on productive and physiological performance of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). One hundred and thirty-five, 45 days-old of Japanese quail females were randomly divided into three groups (45 females for each). Each group has three replicates (15 females per each). The groups were included: The first group was fed on experimental diet included with 0 % of insect powder and 6% of protein concentration as the control. The second group was fed on experimental diet included with 3% of protein concentration and 3% of insect powder. The third group was fed on experimental diet included with 0 % of protein concentration and 6% of insect powder. The results showed no significant in the egg weight, egg mass, feed conversion ratio and mortality among groups. The birds in the third group were recorded a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in the egg production (%), on the other hand, it recorded a less value in the feed intake compared to other groups. The results of relative weight of ovaries and oviducts showed the birds in the third group were recorded a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) compared to other groups. On the other hand, the second group was recorded a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) compared to first group (control). The results were indicated no significant in the levels of estrogen hormone among groups. While, the results of the levels of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone were indicated a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in the third group compared to other groups. In addition to, the second group was recorded a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) compared to first group (control). In conclusions, so far proves the potential of the American cockroach (P. americana) meal for use in quail production systems. American cockroach (P. americana) food based feed can completely replace protein sources by 100 per cent without negative effect on the productive performance of quail and, in some ways, can achieve better than conventional protein based feeds such as protein concentrations. On the other hand, the American cockroach (P. americana) meal improved physiological performance of quail.

Published: April 2021

AbstractThe study aims to demonstrate the effect of some traits on the virulence of E.coli bacteria, the important of which are the number and type of bacterial isolates, their sensitivity to some antibiotics and the production of the β-lactamase enzyme. We adopted in this research a multi-studies relative to some countries and different governorates inside Iraq to show the prevalence range of this gender and its great impact on urinary tract infection. It was found through various previous studies that E.coli is present in a large extent in the urinary tract compared to other isolates, as it is a suitable environment for causing infection after seizing the opportunity and reaching to the urinary tract after ascending from the digestive system, which are endemic organisms in which the normal flora. And it is found more often in women than in men for physiological reasons.It also contains multiple resistance to MDR antibiotics. This resistance may be depend on the presence of the plasmid that carries the genetic information to produce the enzyme β-lactamase, which works to break the β-lactamase cycle and create the bio resistance to the antibiotic. This resistance varies from gender to another and from one environment to another. Various studies around the world, especially penicillin’s, the difference in the degree of sensitivity to this antibiotic or the degree of resistance according to the place in which the patient is located and according to the manufacture of the antibiotic and its chemical composition. This type of infection depends on its rapid identification and taking the appropriate antibiotic as soon as possible and for the required time, lest it lead to other complications, the most important of which is the kidney failure caused by this genus, and it is preferable to make a sensitivity test for antibiotics in order to be able to determine the appropriate antibiotic.

Evaluation of The Cryopreservation Technology of Poultry Sperm: A Review Study
Authors: Mohammad Mahdi Saleh , Mardenli Omar , Amin AL-Tawash Ali Sami 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
With the advancement of the poultry industry, the basic need for the use of cryopreservation technology of poultry sperms has emerged, given that it is the basic technology that preserves the genetic resources of different breeds and establishes genetic banks that in turn contribute to the establishment of different strains and lines. The technology of cryopreservation of sperm has encountered many considerations and obstacles, as the impressions of this technique are divided into three topics, the first impression believes that this technique is largely unsuccessful, while the second suggests a great potential in the preservation process. The third impression believes that cryopreservation is an encouraging and promising operation shortly. Similar to the cryopreservation of sperm in mammals, two methods were used in poultry: the slow and rapid freezing (vitrification). In both types, similar results were obtained where the fertility rates of the sperm did not exceed 40%. Due to the morphological and physiological differences between poultry and mammals’ sperms, three cryoprotectants have been widely used in poultry cryopreservation: dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylacetamide and glycerol, glycerol is the most widely used due to its molecular properties that contribute to maintaining the highest survival rate and fertility after freezing (high permeability and low cytotoxity). The main obstacle facing this technique remains in how to treat the remaining quantities of the aforementioned cryoprotectants, which lead to a decrease in the fertility capacity after freezing and during artificial insemination. The numerous protocols used, whether in slow or rapid freezing, greatly affected fertility rates, as both the equilibrium and freezing stages played a decisive role in obtaining the highest possible rates of fertility, vitality and survivability of the sperm after thawing. It is concluded from the current review that the cryopreservation technology of poultry sperm is still in a non-advanced stage and needs many new methods to contribute to raising the fertility capacity, vitality and survivability rates after freezing.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
During the study, a field survey was conducted for villages, fields and farms in the Hamdaniya area that use well water. Twenty wells were identified to collect water samples during the dry season to assess the physiochemical properties of the water, and a weighted mathematical model was applied to assess water quality for the purposes of watering livestock and poultry. The results indicated that the water quality index values fluctuated between (33.0 to 282) due to the different geological formations that the water passes through, as 45% of the water samples were from the Unfit category, 25% from the water category of poor quality, and the rest (30%) were from the good water category for watering livestock and poultry.

AbstractRNA-Seq data analysis can provide an unlimited contribution in increasing our knowledge in viruses and their interaction with the hosts. In current study, transcriptomic analyses of 20 publicly libraries of date palm (P. dactylifera) fruit was conducted for identification the associated plant viruses. Although, the group of virusesGrapevine leafroll-associated virus(GLRaV) andPittosporum cryptic virus-1(PiCV-1) have been identified previously, another thirty-seven different plant viruses have been discovered through the detection of partial nucleotide sequences of their RdRp and Replicase genes via a workflow analysis developed in this study. The viral sequences detected were almost identical (100%) at the nucleotide level with numerous viral isolates deposited at GenBank. However, very rare viral infection has been reported previously on P. dactylifera trees. Thus, an investigation for determining virome of the date palm tree is demanded.
