“…The results obtained show that the level of glucose in T1 was not within the normal range for local chickens, which is between (200-450 mg / 100 ml) of blood plasma, and the explanation for this is that glucose is affected by the environmental, nutritional and health status of birds (Zhao et al, 2022), the reason for the rise in glucose sugar above the normal range in T1 may be due to the stress the birds are exposed to, which works to liberate the hormone corticosterone from the adrenal cortex (A.R. Alkhateeb et al, 2022), as this hormone works to supply glucose sugar to the body from noncarbohydrate sources in a qualitative process known as (gluconeogenesis)…”

Chickens respond to the signals of other chickens, and as the signals are repeated, the chicken's reactions adapt over time. In studies of chickens responding to repeated playbacks of recorded chicken signals, the word "habituation" has been used to describe both overt behaviours and behavioural responses during specific tests in both field and laboratory settings. Gene silencing, on the other hand, is the regulation of gene expression in a cell that inhibits a particular gene from expressing. The current study aimed to reduce the stress responses of a breed of local chickens by changing their behavioural or genetic factors, and assessed blood traits that reflect their level of welfare. The study used 120 hen chickens obtained at 22 weeks old, divided into six treatments, with four replicates for each treatment (20 chicks per treatment, 5 chicks per replicate) as follows: T1 was a negative control treatment consisting of a local Iraqi chicken breed; T2 was a positive control treatment consisting of a commercial breed of chickens; T3 involved the local breed with siRNA used to silence the corticosterone hormone pathway to the CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 genes by injection in the jugular vein at the age of 24 and 40 weeks; T4 consisted of mixed groups with 25% commercial chicken + 75% local chicks; whilst T5 consisted of 50% commercial chicken + 50% local chicken; and T6 consisted of 75% commercial chicken + 25% local chicken. The results showed a significant improvement (P≤0.05) in Glucose, Cholesterol, Total Protein, LDL, HDL, Globulin and Albumin for T3 and T5 compared with the other treatments; and a significant improvement (P≤0.05) in blood corticosterone in T3 immediately after the injection and two weeks later. The results show that there is an effect of habituation and gene silencing on blood traits, indicating an improved level of welfare for the T3 and T5 chickens.

“…The lowest mortality rate was on the third day of treatment for adults, third larval instars, and fifth larval instars, and the corrected mortality rate for the concentration was 100% (10, 7, 7.5), respectively. Table (5) shows the significant effects of the conidial concentration and the fungal filtrate on the mean number of eggs produced by adult females of T. granarium. The conidial concentrations were outperformed in reducing the number of eggs compared to the fungal filtrate.…”

“…Recently, there has been increasing awareness of environmental concerns related to the use of insecticides, and these issues have encouraged the development of alternative control methods 4 . The efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi against insect pests of stored grain products, including T. granarium, has been evaluated in many regions worldwide 5,6 . However, there is little information on the potential of Iraqi isolates of entomopathogenic fungi for T. granarium control.…”

The khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae), is an important pest of stored wheat worldwide. This study assessed the efficacy of two isolates of M. anisoplae (commercial and local isolates). Different conidial concentrations (1×108, 1×106, 1×104) conidia/ml-1 and fungal filtrate (100, 75, 50) % of M. anisoplae were evaluated. In both fungal isolates, corrected mortality of T. granarium after exposure varied according to fungal concentrations conidial concentration of conidia/ml-1, and the fungal filtrate at a concentration of 75% caused the highest mortality rates. In addition, mortality rates were significantly varied according to the beetle's developmental stage. Both isolates of M. anisoplae caused between 41 and 67.6 % reduction in total fecundity of the female adults. The results demonstrate no significant differences between the local isolate of M. anisoplae and commercial formulation (Met 52 EC). Further studies under commercial storage conditions are required.

The sheep like other animals need more and more welfare to produce meat of good quality, Sheep welfare problems primarily arise from mutilations, lameness, transportation, and disease. With proper grazing, breeding, and husbandry practices, most health issues in sheep can be resolved or avoided. Grazing involves seeking and choosing feed as well as grabbing and consuming it. The manner in which ruminants or grazing animals grip and consume forages varies. These variations are connected to the sorts of fodder that various ruminants prefer. Heat stress, cold stress, weariness, prolonged thirst, prolonged hunger, hampered movement, movement restrictions, resting issues, social stress, pain, fear, and distress are the welfare types that sheep may encounter during caged, all issues due to shortage of welfare, this results in sheep inside the body that acts as a substance that cannot be used in the metabolic processes and is difficult to get rid of the animal is able to get rid of these substances accumulated inside the body that are difficult to get rid of the presence of natural toxins can be produced through the accumulation of some chemical substances and elements that the animal gets from the food. They come as residues from deteriorated cells or some vital processes in the body.
