The prevalence of brucellosis among sheep and goats in northern Iraq

Out of a total of 2,368 sheep and 3,156 goats tested against brucellosis by the Brewer's card test in the 5 Mohafadhas of the northern region of Iraq, 0.93% and 4.4% respectively were recorded as positive reactors. The highest incidence (1.36%) among sheep was found in the Kirkuk region while the lowest (0.78%) was in the Mosul (Nineveh) region. Among goats the highest incidence (11.55%) was revealed in the Dukho region while the lowest (1.47%) was in the Sulaimaniya region. The need for more detailed work on the incidence and on the isolation of the local strains, as well as the need for a control programme, is also discussed.     

良法在提高良种肉羊规模养殖场综合效益中的应用研究

文章针对湟源县肉羊规模养殖场生产效益低下问题选取标准化程度较高的一家养殖场进行了综合科学技术应用试验研究。通过试验,得出在全舍饲条件下,围产期母羊补饲与不补饲的生产性能变化差异显著,羔羊的初生重增加12%左右,母羊的体增重增加8.5%;在对围产期母羊进行补饲与不补饲时其羔羊的初生重试验组与对照组差异显著,平均增重12%;试验组肉羊出栏体重显著高于对照组,试验组出栏重增加7%,平均日增重增加6.4%;试验组与对照组育肥肉羊的体重变化差异显著。     

The population dynamics of nematode parasites of sheep in northern England.

An investigation into the population dynamics of sheep nematodes was carried out between April 1970 and September 1971. Faecal egg counts were made from both ewes and lambs at weeks intervals while grass samples were taken fortnightly throughout the summer and monthly during the winter. From these results absolute numbers of nematode eggs and infective larvae were estimated and these figures used as a basis for determining the level of mortality occurring during development from egg to infective larva. The figures were also used to assess the relative importance of the ewe 'spring rise' and the egg output of the lambs in June while grazing contaminated pasture. These calculations suggest that larval mortality was very high and that it may vary considerably from year to year depending upon the climatic conditions prevailing. There was also an indication that the ewe 'spring rise' was the major source of the wave of infection which occurs in the lambs in late August and September.     

Planned control of reproduction processes in industrialized sheep breeding

Discussed in this paper are possibilities at present available for bio-engineering action to control reproduction processes in ewes under the aspect of their applicability to industrialised lamb production. Reference, in this context, is make to the requirements of industrialised sheed breeding in establishing groups of young animals on the basis of cyclograms. Described is the most appropriate method at present to use feed pellets with megestrol acetate for oestrus synchronisation. The conclusion is that for the time being there is no method with sufficient economy by which to stimulate oestrus in sheep during the season and the non-oestral lactation period by which to bring forward the onset of sexual maturity.     

Cerebrospinal elaphostrongylosis in sheep in northern Norway.

Pathologic examination of four sheep from northern Norway exhibiting neurologic signs of paresis, paralysis and vestibular system disease revealed nematodes in the central nervous system (CNS). The worms were identified as Elaphostrongylus rangiferi Mitskevich, 1960, the elaphostrongylid nematode of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus). Microscopic lesions found in the CNS were focal traumatic encephalomyelomalacia caused by migrating worms, eosinophilic meningitis and choroiditis, lymphohistiocytic and nematode granulomas, and perineural infiltrations. The disease occurred in November and December 1990, after the sheep had been on pasture in areas frequented by considerable numbers of reindeer.     

Prevalence of Taenia multiceps in sheep in northern Jordan

From March 1996 to February 1997, slaughtered-sheeps' heads were examined for the metacestode of Taenia multiceps. Out of 451 sheep heads, only 12 (3%) were infested. All cysts but one were in the age group 0.5-2.5 years old, with prevalence of 10% (11 of 108). Eleven of 12 infested heads were found during the spring and autumn seasons. Out of 95 flocks involved in questionnaire survey unrelated to the abattoir survey, all the farmers reported the existence of the clinical signs known for coenurosis and described it in locally known names and diseases. Twenty-five of them had recent cases that were diagnosed by the veterinarian as coenurosis cases. Each flock reported one or two cases at the time of survey. A variety of clinical signs were reported from these cases (n = 42). These included circling (86%), head pressing (52%), blindness (29%) and paresis (40%). Coenurosis is a sheep-health problem and an important cause of sheep culling in Jordan.
