Abstract: Dexamethasone (DX) is considered one of the steroidal drugs which have varieties of clinical application in medicine for treatment of many different cases. The present study was aimed to know the effect of DX on the implantation of blastocyst during the days 7 and ten of pregnancy, and the process of development of cartilage and bones in the fetuses of albino rats during the days 15 and 20 of pregnancy. In addition to that some physiological parameters aimed to be elucidated in the pregnant rats. The study was conducted in the department of Biology \College of Education for Pure Sciences/ University of Karbala in the period of April, 2016 to May 2017. Ninety four albino rats have been used, among them 10 male rats were used for matting with 84 female rats .The females were divided into three groups, with 28 rats for each group . The first control group was injected with physiological normal saline (0.9%) intraperitoneally. The other two groups were received daily injection via the same route with 0.2 and 0.4 of DX \ 250 gm. of body weight respectively. Each group was further subdivided into four subgroups with seven pregnant female rats for each one. The pregnant rats of each subgroup were sacrificed on the following days : 7,10,15, and 20 respectively The subgroups of the latter two days were used to study the development of the cartilage and bones. Half of the embryos on day 20 of pregnancy from the control and treated groups were used for histological sectioning; while the other half were used to stain the embryonic skeleton according to double staining technique of Whitaker and Dix . All the collected samples which include the implantation sites from the pregnant uteri at days 7 and 10, together with whole embryos from days 15 and 20 of pregnancy, were put in two types of fixatives : 10% formalin and Boun's solution. The collected samples then processed according to the traditional methods of paraffin embedding to be cut into sections of five µm thicknesses. The sections were stained by haemotoxylin and eosin (H&E); one step trichrome; periodic acid Schiff's (PAS) with and without diastase; Alcian blue at pH 1.0 and 2.5. Blood samples from pregnant rats were collected on days 7,10,15,and 20 of pregnancy to check for the following biochemical parameters : concentration of calcium ,phosphate and potassium ions ;alkaline phosphatase ,and acid phosphatase enzymes; and estimation of parathyroid and calcitonin hormones. The results of the H&E stained section of pregnant sites of both the control and treated groups have shown that blastocyst was implanted in the antimesometrial side of the uterus. Most of this side of the uterus has become decidualized tissue, where four zones could be identified : the primary decidual zone; secondary decidual zone ;implantation site; and undifferentiated decidual basal zone. On day 10 of pregnancy the embryos have shifted their position from the antimesometrial side to the mesometrial side of the uterus. The decidual tissue has grown wider and included most of stromal cells of the endometrium. The changing of the position of the embryos at day 10 is important for their survival because they will become nearer to the main blood supply to uterus which are running in the mesometrium. The results of the one step trichrome stained sections from both the control and treated groups have shown clear distribution of collagen fibers in the decidual tissues at days 7 and 10 of pregnancy, which gave an indication of the success of pregnancy up to these stages. The primary decidual zone was devoid of collagen fibers but they are evident in the secondary decidual zone. At day 10 of pregnancy the collagen fibers were more in evidence especially at the mesometrial side of the uterus. The importance of collagen fibers was to give support to the blood vessels supplying the placenta which are coursing through the mesometrium. Positive stain has been revealed in PAS reaction in decidual tissue on day seven of pregnancy without diastase, but it was negative with diastase. No reaction ,in the decidual tissue, with and without diastase was noticed at day ten of pregnancy. With Alcian blue pH 1.0 no reaction was noticed in the decidual tissue of both control and treated groups at days seven and ten of pregnancy. On the other hand positive reaction has come out at pH 2.5. The reaction at that pH was more prominent at the antimesometrial decidual tissue. But it was only depicted in the wall of blood sinusoid of the mesometrial decidual tissue. Tongue like extensions of trophoblasts was noticed to be extending from the recently implanted embryo toward the endometrium, at day seven of pregnancy of both the control and treated group. The trophoblasts were pushing themselves in the direction of mesometrial decidual tissue in order to reach and settle nearer and in the wall of the blood sinusoids of that area. The invasion trophoblasts destination was to reach to the spiral arteries supplying the labyrinthine placenta in the rats. At the 15th day of gestation there was no significant change in the cartilage model in the posterior limbs of the two treatment groups from the control group. The important signal indicated by the present study was observation of cartilaginous cell necrosis, hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration, At the age of near the end of pregnancy in the treatment groups, many of the effects on the bone tissue, which are the existence of a vacuum around the bone cells and the infiltration of inflammatory cells in addition to bone erosion and arthritis and the reduction of cartilage and irregularity of medicine Surface area, hyperlipidemias and leavicular necrosis. Bone marrow squeaks in the control group and the first dose group of dexamethasone were found to be more extensive than the second treatment group. The bones of control group embryos stained with alizarin red has acquired much more red coloration than the treated group embryos, which indicated a slowdown of ossification in their bones compared with control group, Showed that the length of the skull, spine, forelimbs and hind limbs of the fetal fetus at the age of 20 days of gestation of from the treatment groups has decreased for length in the control group but the decline was not significantly level (P <0.05) . The calcium, phosphate and potassium ions concentration was low in the blood serum of treated group ( P< 0.05) during the whole period studied. However the phosphate ions was low in the control group .For the alkaline phosphatase level, it was significantly low ( P< 0.05) in the treated groups compare with the control. On the other hand the level of the acid phosphatase was high in the treated group ( P< 0.05). The concentration of both the parathyroid and calcitonin hormones was significantly higher ( P< 0.05) in the treated groups compared with control. In conclusion, the present study has revealed that DX treatment showed no interference with the process of implantation during the days seven and ten, and with chondrogenesis on day fifteen of pregnancy. While the effect on cartilage formation on the fifteenth day and bone on the twentieth day of pregnancy.

Abstract: The objectives of current study were to identify Trichoderma viridi and Trichoderma harzianum by genetics methods and used them singly or both (3% for each treatment) in improvement of barley straw and animal performance. A total of 20Arabi lambs aged about 3 - 4months with an average weight of 22.725±1.43 kg distributed randomly and equally to four nutritional treatments. Lambs fed individually as 2% of body weight, while straw was given ad libtium. The results obtained can be summarized as follows : 1 - The study was able to identify TV and TH using three different PCR techniques, which are PCR - RAPD, PCR - ITS and PCR - IGS.TV and TH showed three and two bands respectively when using PCR - RAPD at nearly 600bp.While both fungi showed one band by using PCR - ITS and PCR - IGS and at nearly 600 and 2,400bp respectively.2 - Using both fungi (treatment 4) resulted in a significant improvement in the chemical composition of the straw through the high content of crude protein and low crude fiber, ADF and NDF compared to untreated straw.3 - There were improvements indigestibilityofcrude protein, fiber, cellulose, hemicellulose, ADFand NDF when the both fungi treatment was used. As well as total digestible nutrients of the fungus treated groups in comparison with untreated straw (control group).4 - Feed intake of treated straw groups increased significantly compared to untreated straw groupwiththe superiority of the group that was treated with both fungi (639.91 - 826.30 gm/head/day for control and both fungi group respectively). As well as there wasa significant improvement in feed conversion efficiency of a group treated with both fungi in comparison of other groups (6.38 - 5.52 kg feed/kg growth rate respectively).5 - Rumen pH, ammonia and total volatile fatty acid of lambs fed treated straw (6.22 - 6.89, 10.00 - 18.69; 11.35 - 13.61 for control115group and both fungi group respectively) were significantly higher than those of untreated group.6 - There were significant improvements in lambs’bodyweigh tsand their absolute and relative gains when fed treated straw (37.82 kg, 14.97kg and 65.67% respectively) especially the group fed both fungi in comparison with untreated group (32.79 kg, 10.03kg and 43.89%respectively).7 - Globulin, AST and ALT was not significantly influenced bytreated straw. On the contrary, there were a significant increase inhemoglobin, glucose, total protein, albumin and albumin/globulin ratio of the treated groupcompared with the untreated straw. While a significant decrease in urea and cholesterollevelin theblood serumof treated groups in comparison with untreated group.8 - Economic evaluation ofadding fungitostrawshowed improvement inthe relativeeconomic efficiencyby26.2%, 37.0% and 59.5% for adding TVorTH or bothtogetherrespectively. Adding fungi decreasedthe cost of feed from 46.65Dinars/ kg increase in body weight gains incase of untreated straw to 40.15dinars/ kg when adding both fungi.

Abstract: This study was conducted at Animal Farm, College of Agriculture, University of Basrah and Animal Farm of Aked Agriculture Secondary School, Dhi - Gar Province during the period of 1/10/2013 to 1/7/2014. The aim was to study the relationship between temperature and humidity with daily and monthly milk yield. Milk components as fat, protein, lactose and solid not fat also studied. As well as some physiological and blood parameters included in this study. A total of 28 crossed cows of different age and milking season. Cows were fed available feed within each season, while water was available during 24 hours. Results can be summarized as following : 1 - Minimum recorded THI was during January (53.24 unit) and maximum value was 78 unit recorded during June.2 - Parity had significant effect on daily and monthly milk yield. Cows of fourth parity exceeded those during 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th parity. However, parity had no significant effect on milk fat, protein, lactose and solid not fat.3 - Calf sex had significant effect on daily and monthly milk yield. Male claves caused increase in milk yield. Calf sex had no significant effect on milk fat, protein, lactose and solid not fat.4 - A negative non - significant correlation between minimumormaximum temperature and daily or monthly milk yield. Daily and monthly milk yield were 4.36 and 128.75 kg during March, while they became 3.11 and 91.10 kg during June. However, temperature showed significant positive correlation with lactose (0.100 and 0.144 with minimum and maximum temperature respectively) and non - significant with either milk fat or protein or solid not fat.5 - A negative non - significant correlation existed between THI and either daily or monthly milk yield, as milk yield decreased from 4.13 and 124.16kg (daily and monthly yield respectively) during January (lowest THI value) to 3.11 and 91.1 kg respectively during June (highest THI value). On the other hand, THI correlated significantly and positively with THI (0.158) but non - significant with milk fat, protein and solid not fat, as they shoed highest values during June.6 - There were positive significant correlation between minimum or maximum temperature and THI with both morning and evening pulsing rate (0.251, 0.328, 0.306, 0.568, and 0.571 respectively). However, they had positive non - significant with rectum temperature.7 - Minimum or maximum temperature and THI showed highly significant correlation with PCV% (0.234, 0.153 and 0.213 respectively) and WBC (0.334, 0.310 and 0.374 respectively).8 - Cortisol correlated positively but non - significant with either minimum or maximum temperature or THI. Highest value of cortisol (4.38 ng/ml) was recorded during June of highest THI and temperatures

Abstract: The present study was conducted at Animal Farm/College of Agriculture/ University of Basra during 20/11/2014 to 18/2/2015. The aim was to clarify the effect of using straw treated with whey and urea at different levels on some productive and physiological traits of male Arabi lambs. A total of 16 male lambs were used aged 6 - 7 months with an average weight of 30.50±1.65 Kg. the lambs were distributed randomly and equally to four treatments. Concentrate diet included barley (55%), wheat straw (43%), vitamin and minerals (1%), urea (0.5%) and salt NaCl, (0.5%). Lambs were fed at 3% of their live body weight with adjustment depending on body weight change through the study period to every treatment (every two weeks). The residual feed was collected every following morning to measure the consumption feed. Ration of each treatment was as follow : 1 - First treatment : 100% concentrate diet.2 - Second treatment : 90% concentrate+10% straw treated with whey and urea.3 - Third treatment : 80% concentrate+20% straw treated with whey and urea.4 - Four treatment : 70% concentrate+30% straw treated with whey and urea.The studied productive traits were live weight, daily and total growth rates, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio, carcass traits (hot carcassweight, dressing%, cuts weight, carcass offal, internal organs weight, abdominal, heart, kidney, pelvic and tail fat weight with physical dissection of rib cut and measurement of meat, bone and fat%).

Abstract: This study was conducted in the Animal Farm of the College of Agriculture - University of Basrah. A total of 28 Arabi male lambs were used, with average age of 5 months and mean body weight of 21.74 ± 1.33 Kg. Lambs were distributed equally and randomly into 7 nutrition rations in two experiments. First experiment was a growth experiment which lasted for 90 days. The second was digestion field experiment and lasted for 13 days after the end of the first experiment. The experimental rations were as follows : Ration - 1 - (control) - fed on concentrate ration only by 3% of body weight. Ration - 2 - fed on 90% of the control ration and 10% of ground date stones substituted for the barley.Ration - 3 - lambs fed on the ration 2 with addition of 3 grams of bakery yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) / Kg of feed. Ration - 4 - fed on 80% of the control ration with substitution of 20% of date stones for barley.Ration - 5 - lambs fed on the ration 4 with addition of 3 grams of bakery yeast per Kg of feed.Ration - 6 - fed on 70% of the control ration and 30% of date stones.Ration - 7 - lambs fed on the ration 6 with addition of 3 grams of bakery yeast per Kg of feed.Results were as follows : 1 - Mean final body weight (34.00 Kg) except Control ration, total gain weight (12.75 Kg) except the control and 2 rations and daily gain weight (141.67 g/ day) of lambs in ration 3 were significantly higher than animals in other rations.2 - Animals of ration 3 recorded the highest feed consumption arithmetically (0.829 Kg/ day/ lamb) and the best feed conversion ratio arithmetically too (5.85 Kg dry matter/ Kg body weight gain).3 - Substitution of date stones with addition of bakery yeast affected digestion coefficients of feed nutrients. Ration 3 was superior in digestion coefficients of dry matter, crude protein and nitrogen free extract to other rations. These values were 70.64, 72.11 and 80.64 %.4 - Results showed significant differences between means of pH of rumen fluid and total bacterial count which Significant decreases in each of 6 and 7 rations than other rations while in the counts of cellulolytic digestion bacteria, ration 3 were significantly than animals in other rations but not differ significantly from that of the ration 5 while it was similar with control ration. 5 - No significant differences between rations were noticed in means of red blood corpuscles, white blood cells, hemoglobin, packed cell volume, cholesterol concentration, glucose concentration and concentration of the enzymes GPT and GOT. While differences between means of blood urea concentration and total protein of blood were significant.6 - Mean empty body weight, hot carcass weight, dressing percentage on the basis of live weight and empty body weight of lambs in ration 3 28.02 Kg, 16.18 Kg, 47.59% and 57.74% respectively were significantly higher than that of animals in other rations except control ration in hot carcass weight.7 - The highest weights of rib cut (rib 7 - 12), leg cut and loin cut were for animals in ration 3 (1.61, 5.00 and 2.40 Kg respectively) than other rations but in the loin cut, the ration 3 was similar to the control ration 2.16 Kg.8 - For body measurements, the highest leg circumference were recorded for animals in rations 2 and 3 (35.00 and 36.50 cm respectively) than other rations but these rations were similar to the control ration. While the highest rib eye muscle area was for carcasses of animals in ration 3 (14.41 cm2) but this value did not differ significantly from that of the control animals (13.45 cm2).9 - In the case of some carcass muscle weights, the muscle Supraspinatus weight were higher in the animals of the ration 3 (176.67 g) but it was similar to control ration (164.25 g). Weight of the muscle Biceps femoris was higher in the carcasses of animals in ration 3 (625.75 g).10 - Carcasses of animals in ration 3 recorded the highest dissected lean meat 931.70 g and fat 280.55 g in rib cut, but no significant differences were registered for dissected bone weight among the different rations. Also weights of the internal organs of the animals namely : liver, heart, kidneys, lungs, spleen and the testicles for animals in ration 3 were higher than that of other rations.11 - Mean weights of separated fat of carcasses were higher for animals of the 2 and 3 rations (1.93 and 1.95 Kg respectively) in comparison with animals of other rations but these rations were similar to the control ration 2.08 Kg.12 - Substitution of date stones in percentages of 10% and 20%, with the addition of bakery yeast caused significant improvement in organoleptic characteristics (color, tenderness, juiciness and overall acceptability). Evaluation of samples of rations 3 and 5 were superior to that of other rations.13 - Rations 3 and 5 gave the best results for water holding capacity in meat. No significant differences were obtained in cholesterol concentration and pH of meat.Results showed that the lowest values of cooking loss were in ration 3 (43.30 %).No significant differences were observed in chemical composition of theLongissimus dorsi muscle (moisture, protein, fat and ash) between rations.

Abstract: The current study was conducted in the laboratory of Dr. TalibAhmed Jaayide Molecular Genetics / Faculty of Agriculture /University of Basrah. After collecting blood samples from the Iraqibuffalo in the provinces of Basrah (30 samples), Dhi Qar, Maysanand Najaf (25 samples each), bringing the total samples to 105samples. The study aimed to study the genetic diversity of the Iraqibuffalo through the use of tow techniques, first technique was, thePCR - RAPD technique and the second microsatellite technique(PCR - STR). After extracting the DNA samples, seven primers ofPCR - RAPD technique were used, included C01, C04, C06, C07,C09, C11 and C12. Primers of PCR - STR technique wereILSTS005, ILSTS029 and ILSTS072. After analyzing the results ofthe three technologies it can be summarized as follows : 1 - All primers of PCR - RAPD showed genetic polymorphisms,with the presence of many bands except the primer C11which was notamplified in all samples.2 - The size of primer C07 was 1969 bp, which was the biggestprimer size, however, the smallest primer size was C01(1606 bp).3 - Number of bands showed by PCR - RAPD primers were 28,42, 56, 53, 57 and 64 bands of C01, C04, C06, C07, C09,C12 primers respectively.4 - Primer C09 revealed the highest number of polymorphicbands in Basra and Dhi - Qar provinces (47 and 46 bandsrespectively). However, the primer C12 gave highest numberof polymorphic bands in Maysan (47 bands). The primer C01showed lowest number of polymorphic bands in all studiedprovinces (14 bands in Basra and Dhi - Qar provinces, 12bands in Maysan and 13 bands in Najaf province.5 - Shared bands between Basra and Dhi - Qar, Basra andMaysan, Basra and Najaf, Dhi - Qar and Maysan, Dhi - Qar andNajaf and Maysan and Najaf were 177, 151, 162, 146 and152 bands respectively. The high number of shared bandsreflected high genetic similarly among provinces.6 - Maysan province showed highest special bands of primerC07 (8 bands) followed by Dhi - Qar province (5 bands) whichis considered as fingerprint for these provinces even they showed very low frequencies.7 - Primer C04 revealed lowest genetic diversity measured by Shannon index in all studied areas (28.82 - 35.58%), however, all other primers showed higher genetic diversity (47.57 - 55.70%).8 - Similarity among provinces was higher than 70% to 95% for all PCR - RAPD primers, which indicates that all subpopulations of buffalo belong to one breed.9 - Primers C07 and C12 highlighted highest percent of mean gene diversity to population diversity (GST) with a value of 22.69 and 21.46 respectively.10 - All STR markers (ILSTS005, ILSTS029 and ILSTS072) have been amplified in all buffalo samples of all studied areas. Observed allele numbers were 20, 22 and 21 alleles for markers respectively with a total of 63 alleles. The marker ILSTS005 gave highest number of observed alleles in Dhi - Qar (21), Najaf (20) and Maysan (17). Whereas, the marker ILSTS029 showed less number of observed alleles at Maysan province (9 alleles). 11 - Allele frequencies ranged from 0.02 to 0.32 for all markers and provinces.12 - Shared alleles between Basra andDhi - Qar, Basra and Maysan, Basra and Najaf, Dhi - Qar and Maysan, Dhi - Qar andNajaf, Maysan and Najaf were 25, 27, 30, 22, 33 and 33alleles.13 - Special allele mean frequency of studied population was 0.048. While gene flow after adjusted for sample size of each province was 2.25 alleles. Range of missing allele frequency for all studied areas was 0.000 - 0.099.14 - Range of heterozygosity percent was 80 - 100%, whereas homozygosity% was 0 - 20%.15 - All Fis values of studied markers in all provinces were significant except the marker STR072 in Dhi - Qar province which was nonsignificant. This result reflected the absence of inbreeding in all areas and there was no significant deficiency in genetic variation.16 - Linkage disequilibrium test showed that tested markers are not located on one chromosome.17 - The study thus highlights the usefulness of heterologous PCR - RAPD and microsatellite markers to assess the genetic variability in buffalo. Also various diversity indices suggest sufficient genetic variability within Iraqi buffalo that can be utilized as initial guidelines for future breeding strategies and conservation.

Abstract: شملت الدراسة التغيرات الفصلية في تركيز بعض العناصر الثقيلة (الرصاص، الكادميوم، النحاس، الزنك والزئبق) في لحوم الاغنام والابقار والابل الماخوذة من مناطق مختلفة (الهارثة، الخضارة، الزبير و5 ميل) في محافظة البصرة. بعد ذبح الحيوان الساعة الثامنة صباحا والساعة الرابعة عصرا بعد بقاء اللحوم معروضة في الاسواق المحلية، قيست تراكيز العناصر بواسطة جهاز مطياف الامتصاص الذريFlame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer، كما درست نسب التركيب الكيمياوي للحوم المدروسة (الرطوبة، الرماد، الدهن والبروتين).اظهرت نتائج الدراسة ما يلي : 1 - تاثرت نسبة الرطوبة معنويا (p<0.05) بكل من الانواع والوقت، اذ سجلت في لحوم الاغنام والابقار والابل خلال وقت الصباح 72,29 و72,61 و75,23% وانخفضت في جميع عينات الساعة الرابعة عصرا الى 69,12 و68,45 و69,36% على التوالي وكانت الرطوبة في لحوم الابل اعلى مما في لحوم الاغنام والابقار. 2 - اظهرت نتائج الدراسة عدم وجود فروق معنوية في نسبة الرماد بين انواع اللحوم المدروسة، في حين لوحظت اختلافات معنوية في نسبة الدهن وكان اعلى متوسط لها في لحوم الاغنام (4,41 و3,38%) واقل متوسط في لحوم الابل (1,58 و1,52%) صباحا ومساءا على التوالي. 3 - سجلت اعلى نسبة للبروتين في لحوم الابقار (22,26 و24,72%) في كلا المدة، فيما لم تختلف معنويا في كل من لحوم الاغنام والابل كما لوحظ ارتفاع نسبة البروتين عند جمع العينات الساعة الرابعة عصرا اذ بلغت 23,60 و24,72 و23,72% في كل من لحوم الاغنام والابقار والابل على التوالي. 4 - اوضحت نتائج الدراسة وجود تاثير معنوي (p<0.05) للمنطقة على تركيز عنصر الرصاص في اللحوم، اذ سجل اعلى تركيز في منطقتي الهارثة و5 ميل، في حين ارتفع مستوى هذا العنصر في فصلي الشتاء والربيع وارتفع متوسط تركيزه في العينات التي جمعت الساعة الرابعة عصرا ليصل الى 89,09 و107,31 و97,30 مايكروغم/غم في لحوم الاغنام والابقار والابل على التوالي. 5 - تراوح متوسط تركيز عنصر الكادميوم بين 0,23 - 11,94مايكروغم/غم في انواع اللحوم الماخوذة من مناطق الدراسة خلال فصول السنة، بلغ اعلى متوسط لتركيز العنصر في منطقة 5 ميل، ومن ناحية التغيرات الفصلية سجل اعلى متوسط في فصل الربيع لكل من لحوم الاغنام والابقار والابل (10,99 و10,76 و11,29) مايكروغم/غم على التوالي. لم يظهر للوقت تاثير معنوي على تركيز عنصر الكادميوم في كل من لحوم الابقار والابل عدا تركيزه في لحوم الاغنام اذ سجل متوسط تركيزه خلال وقت الصباح 3,56 وارتفع التركيز ليصل الى 4,14 مايكروغم/غم عصرا.6 - كان للمنطقة تاثير معنوي على تركيز عنصر النحاس، اذ بلغ اعلى تركيز في منطقتي الخضارة و5 ميل خلال فترة الدراسة لانواع اللحوم المدروسة، فيما ارتفع المستوى في فصل الشتاء معنويا (p<0.05) بالمقارنة مع الفصول الاخرى اذ بلغ المتوسط 94,31 و95,54 و51,41 مايكروغم/غم في لحوم الاغنام والابقار والابل على التوالي. وكان للوقت تاثيرات معنوية في تركيز العنصر في انواع اللحوم المدروسة. 7 - بالنسبة الى تركيز عنصر الزنك لم يكن للمنطقة تاثير معنوي في كل من لحوم الابقار والابل، فقط في لحوم الاغنام اذ سجل اعلى متوسط في منطقة الهارثة (165,79 مايكروغم/غم) واقل متوسط في منطقة الزبير (150,96مايكروغم/غم). في حين ارتفع المستوى في فصل الربيع بالمقارنة مع الفصول الاخرى في اللحوم المدروسة. مع زيادة وقت التعرض ارتفع متوسط تركيز العنصر ليصل الى 161,49 و168,45 و173,56 مايكروغم/غم في لحوم الاغنام والابقار والابل على التوالي. 8 - بينت نتائج الدراسة ان للمنطقة تاثير معنوي في تركيز عنصر الزئبق، اذ سجل اعلى تركيز في منطقة الهارثة في انواع اللحوم المدروسة. ومن ناحية التغيرات الفصلية بلغ اعلى تركيز للعنصر في فصل الشتاء مقارنة مع الفصول الاخرى. كانت الفروقات في تركيز العنصر بين الصباح والمساء معنوية، اذ بلغ متوسط تركيزه خلال وقت الصباح 44,21 و49,36 و35,14 مايكروغم/غم وعند جمع العينات الساعة الرابعة عصرا سجل متوسط 46,14 و59,31 و43,88 مايكروغم/غم في لحوم الاغنام والابقار والابل على التوالي. | This study was carriedout to study the effect of season (summer, fall, winter and spring) location and time of sampling on the concentrations of heavy metals (lead, cadmium cupper, zinc and mercury) in the meat of sheep, beef and camels. Meat samples were obtained from retail sellers in four different locations of Basrah city (Hartha, 5 miles, Khathara and Zubair) twice a day ; 8 a.m. in the morning and 4 p.m. in the afternoon. Promixate analysis of meat was determined and heavy metals were measured by flam atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results revealed that : 1 - Moisture content was affected significantly (p<0.05) by the type of meat and time of sampling. Percentages were 72.29, 72.61 and 75.23% for the meat of sheep, beef and camel, respectively in the morning and decreased in the afternoon to percentages of 69.12, 68.45 and 69.36% respectively, moisture content of camel meat was higher than that of beef or sheep. 2 - No significant differences were obtained for the percentages of ash between the studied types of meat, while the differences between the percentages of fat were significant, the highest means were for the meat of sheep (4.41 and 3.38%) and the lowest means were for the meat of camel (1.58 and 1.52%) in the morning samples and the afternoon samples respectively.3 - The highest percentages of protein were recorded for the meat of beef (22.26 and 24.72% for the morning and the afternoon samples respectively), while differences between meat of sheep and camel were not significant. Percentages of protein were higher in the samples of 4 p - m., being 23.60, 24.72 and 23.72% for the meat of sheep, beef and camels, respectively. 4 - Concentrations of lead metal in the meat samples differed significantly (p<0.05) between locations. The highest levels were in the samples obtained from Hartha and 5 miles in winter and spring seasons. Also the samples of 4 p.m. contained higher levels than in the 8 a.m. samples, being 98.09, 107.31 and 97.30 µg/g for meat of sheep, beef and camels respectively. 5 - Average cadmium concentrations during the different seasons and different locations varied between 0.23 and 11.94 µg/g. The highest levels were for the samples of 5 miles location and spring season in the meat of sheep, beef and camel (10.99, 10.76 and 11.29 µg/g respectively). No significant effect for the time of sampling on the concentration of cadmium for beef and camel meat except for sheep meat in which the level was 3.56 for the morning samples and raised to 4.41 µg/g in the samples of the afternoon. 6 - Location of sampling had significant effects on concentration of cupper in the meat. The highest levels were in the samples of Khathara and 5 miles during the period of study for the studied types of meat. On the other hand, the level increased significantly (p<0.05) in the winter season in comparison with other seasons, the mean concentrations were 94.31, 95.54 and 51.41 µg/g in the meat of sheep, beef and camel respectively. Time of sampling affected significantly the concentration of cupper in the studied types of meat. 7 - The effect of location was non significant on the concentration of zinc in the meat of beef and camel and significant in the case of sheep meat, its highest mean (165.79 µg/g) was in the Hartha location and lowest mean (150.96 µg/g) in Zubair location. High level of the metal was registered in the spring season in comparison with other seasons in all studied types of meat. Zinc concentration increased with the increase of exposure of meat to atmosphere to reach values of 161.49, 168.45 and 173.56 µg/g in the meat of sheep, beef and camel, respectively. 8 - Level of mercury in the meat was affected by location of sampling, the highest mean concentration was registered in Hartha region. Season of the year affected the level of mercury in meat too. The highest level was found in winter. Concentration of the metal in meat samples at 4 p.m. was higher than at 8 a.m. Values in the meat of sheep, beef and camel were respectively 44.21 , 49.36 and 35.14 µg/g in the meat samples collected in the morning and 46.14, 59.31 and 43.88 µg/g in the meat samples collected in the afternoon.
