| Abstract | ||
| The study was carried out to isolate the normal bacterial flora in the preputial cavity of Iraqi bulls, rams and bucks within the period between January 2004 and January 2005. 150 swabs were taken from the preputial cavity of animals (50 bulls, 50 rams and bucks) brought to the slaughter houses of Al- Diwanya and AL-Najaf before slaughtering them. The swab were cultivated on solid media of Nutrient agar ,Blood agar and MacConky agar. The present study found that 66.66% of the total culture of the preputial cavity were bacteriologically positive. A total of 9 different microorganisms were isolated from the preputial cavity of Iraqi bulls ,rams and bucks, E.coli ,Streptococcus Spp. & Staphylococcus aureus were the most prevalent showed an incidence (36.69,20.13,19.42)% respectively. While Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Corynebacterium pyogenes (Actinomyces pyogenes),Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus mirabilis, Pasteurella Spp. & Bacillus Spp were next in the order of isolates with an incidence (6.47,5.03,3.59,3.59,2.87,2.15)% respectively. It was also found that the bacterial isolates were higher in the bulls than in the rams and bucks. | ||
