Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is highly endemic in many countries, including Iraq, and it impacts the beef and dairy industries. The current study sought to determine the percentage of BLV infection and persistent lymphocytosis (PL) in cattle in central Iraq. Hematological, serological, and molecular observations in cross breeds and local breeds of Iraqi cattle naturally infected with BLV were co...

The study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary energy on milk yield and its composition under the influence of bovine somatotropic (bST) hormone in Nili Ravi buffaloes. Multiparous buffaloes (n=12) at mid lactation and similar level of production were selected and randomly divided into three groups (A, B and C) with four animals in each group in a completely randomized design. All t...

Foundries for the metal-casting industry plays a vital role to generate byproducts such as used foundry sand. Metal foundries use large amounts of the metal casting process. Foundries successfully recycle and reuse the sand many times in a foundry but by using repeated usage of Used foundry-sand vary due to the type of equipment used for foundry processing, the types of additives, the number of...

Abstract Bovine leukosis is caused by an oncogenic virus of the genus Deltaretrovirus, causing losses associated with decreased production indicators and restrictions on exports cattle products. The disease has a prolonged incubation period between 1–5 years antibodies can be detected 2–3 weeks post infection. present asymptomatically, develop persistent lymphocytosis or lymphosarcoma. objectiv...

The phenotype and ontogeny of cells carrying the tumor-associated antigen (TAA), identified in tumors of cattle with enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) by use of the monocional antibody (MAb) c143, were analyzed by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. The TAA recognized by the c143 MAb (c143 TAA) was mainly expressed on B-cells, macrophages, reticular cells, and a minor population of BoCD4-posi...
