A/Alrahman, Suhair Sayed Mohammed
This is a retrospective study aimed to investigate the prevalence rate of brucellosis among animals (sheep, goat, cattle, and camels) attending the Teaching Veterinary Hospital (TVH), College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Bahri during the period 2013-2018. A total of 5332 blood samples (73, sheep, 3586, goat, 930, cattle, and 743 camels) were collected from the jugular vein of each animal and serum was harvested and examined for brucellosis using the Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPR) . Results obtained indicated that, there were no positive case in the samples collected from sheep, while 525 (9.84%) positive cases were reported including cattle 203(38.67%), goats 222(42.29%) and camels 100(19.04%).The number of positive cases was significantly (p˂0.05) lower in cattle in 2016 and higher in goats and camels in 2018 and 2015 respectively. Cattle reported a significantly (p˂0.05) higher incidence in 2014 and 2015. During 2016, 2017 and 2018 goats had the significantly (p˂0.05) higher incidence of brucellosis. In cattle, the incidence of brucellosis showed seasonal fluctuations, summer season showed a significantly (p˂0.01) higher values in 2014; while they were significantly (p˂0.05) higher during winter season of 2015, 2016 and 2017 and lower in 2018. In goats, the incidence of brucellosis was significantly higher in 2018 during winter and summer (p˂0.05) and autumn (p˂0.01).In camels, generally the incidence was significantly (p˂0.05) higher in winter compared to other seasons. It is concluded that brucellosis is one of the greatest health problems amongst cattle, goats and camels in Bahri locality and winter is the season where brucella is the most common. It is recommended that, a comprehensive brucellosis survey program should be established with advanced diagnostic techniques accompanied with a very restrict government-sponsored policy of vaccination, depopulation and compensation. Epidemiological studies are also needed amongst herders and consumers of animal’s products.

The nutritional importance of roselle calyces depends upon their chemical composition. Afield experiment was conducted for two consecutive summer seasons (2011 and 2012) at the Top Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Omdurman Islamic University (Fitaihab). The work was conducted to investigate the effect of chemical and organic fertilizers on some chemical components of calyces and seeds of two roselle ( Hibscus sabdriffa L.) varieties. The experiment was set in a split- plot design with four replications. The treatments were two varieties namely, Bulk (V1 – local) and Omshiback (V2- improved). Chemical fertilizers involved 0, 40, 80 kg N/fed and 40 N + 40 kg P2O5/fed, beside 2 tons chicken manure/fed and 3 tons cattle manure/fed (denoted as T0, T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively). Calyx chemical components taken were calyx anthocyanin content (%), calyx protein content (%) and calyx phosphorous content, in addition to seed oil content (%). The findings of the study revealed that all studied calyx chemical components (anthocyanin, protein, phosphorous) and oil content in both seasons were not significantly affected by varieties, fertilizers and their interaction, except P content, which was significantly affected by fertilizers in both seasons. In the first season, T5 treatment significantly increased calyx phosphorous content relative to T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4 treatments by about 21.9%, 25.0%, 16.0% and 14.2%, respectively, whereas T2 treatment in the second season significantly increased it as compared to T0, T1, T3, T4 and T5 by about 31.8%, 16.0%, 41.5%, 18.4% and 11.5%, respectively.

This study was conducted for determination of bovine theileriosis and investigation of
associated potential Risk Factors and cattle tick infestation in Northern State, Sudan. A total of
329 blood samples from cattle were collected randomly from january2018to January2019 and
examined for parasite using direct smear Geimsa stain method. Questionnaire was included;
locality, breed, sex, age and season. Also 1252 tick samples were collected from 313 cattle in
70% ethanol for identification. Blood smears were reveled 11.6% prevalence rate of the disease.
The following risk factors showed association with cattle theileriosis in the univariate analysis
under significant level of P-value ≤ 0.25: sex (P-value= 0.432), age (P-value =0.001), breed (Pvalue=
0.000). there was two genera of ticks were identified which were Hyaloma and
Rhibocephalus. Sex species of these two genera were H.rufipus, H.dromadarii, H.impltatum,
H.anatolicum and R.evansi. In conclusion, the disease is prevalent in Northern state.

During the period February – April 2016 this survey study was conducted in Khartoum State on the marketing activities and egg cracks in the marketing chain and methods of disposal of cracked table egg. This is by considering similarities in the marketing chain and merits of each locality with reference to 1980 population census and the population density of each locality. From these data 40 groceries were randomly selected from Khartoum, 30 from Omdurman and 20 from Khartoum North. Questionnaires, interviews and personal observation were used for data collection on personal characteristics, commercial and marketing activities, pricing, transportation, egg cracks and methods of disposal of cracked egg. Data was analysed using descriptive statistic.
The main finding were that pricing Policy was based on supply and demand, egg purchase on external appearance, price competition not considered, consumers prefer buying by dozen while grocery owners prefer selling by tray. The source of egg was almost equal between companies and farm units, The storage period was 2 -14 days. Egg transport by company cars or open cars or rough roads. Display methods, mostly in open verandas and some good portion on the ground. Some of these commercial activities are conductive to egg damage and for breakage.
For cracked egg some total of 18.9% indicate high. For cracked egg disposal it was mostly by away from the farm (32.2%) and 13.3% by garbage car which poses environmental and health hazards. The study indicated no relationship or correlation between either the educational level or SSMO type of information and the method of cracked egg disposal. The study noted complete absence of any extension programs or any regulatory presence of any official body or institution for cracked egg disposal treatment.
