Study of the changes of some physical & chemical parameters accompanied to Ovine and Caprine urinary system infections Wahab A. Hassan , Khalid M. Hamadi And Zaid S. Hussein

Abstract

This study was devoted to determination of normal physical and
chemical values of 100 sample of Ovine and Caprine urine with
microscopically examination of urine samples sterilely collected
from sheep & goat slaughtered in Al-Shulla governmental slaughter
house between may and November 2004 as well as demonstration of
changes in these values in case of presence of microbes in urine .This
study illustrated no significant differences(P<0.05) of urine analysis
values between sheep & goat but these values significantly
changed(P<0.05)with the presence of microbes in urine and these
changes included opacity of urine, decrease of specific gravity &
increase of urine pH.
25 sample were positive to protein test with concentration extent from 200
to 1000mg/dl , 11 samples (44%) were positive to penzedin test. The
bacterial culture of the urine sample showed different species of bacteria the
total presence of bacteria was 25% in both sheep & goat including
Staphylococcus aurous, Streptococcus spp, Corynobacterium renale,
Escherichia coli, Protes vulgaris and Klebsiella pneumonia .
