: During puerperium phase in cows, uterus goes through involution process, while ovaries restore supressed cyclicity as a result of gestation. After 10-20 days postpartum (PP) luteinizing hormone (LH) levels begin to raise and renewal of cyclicity after parturition is probably most important factor for cows to successfuly conceive again. observed in right ovaries of cows in both groups, while corpora lutea were bigger in multiparous cows. Numbers and sizes of corpora lutea, may give an insight in quality of restoration of ovarian cyclicity and a solid base for prediction on future reproductive performances.

Human and animal skin and mucous membranes are the places where C. Albicans is present as a commensal, and can cause disease under certain condition. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of C. albicans in clinically healthy dogs and dogs with dermatological, gastrointestinal or urogenital disorders (diseased dogs). A total of 30 (7,09%) of 423 samples were found to be positive for C. albicans. C. albicans was isolated from 10 (52,63%) samples from the oral cavity of the dogs with clinical symptoms, and nine (45,45%) samples originated from the dogs without clinical symptoms. The slight difference in the number of isolates from the rectal cavity was observed, six (54,54%) and five (45,45%) of diseased and healthy animals, respectively. Significant differences were not observed in the total number of isolates between the dogs with clinical manifestation (16 (53,33%) isolates) and without clinical manifestation of disease (14 (46,66%)). The number of isolates in the observed categories as well as their micro- and macromorphology do not indicate an invasive form of C. albicans.

Farming fallow deer (Dama dama) is fairly recent but progressing over the last decade. Quantitative progression though has not been followed by quality management, especially in its health management part. This is mostly due to the owners willing to gain results with minimum investment. Instead, what ensues is low quality with poor results. Taking all this into account, in our country there has not been systematic research on health status of the fallow deer. Our aim is to record biochemical parameters of clinically healthy animals. We observed 32 animals of both sexes with different body masses and in good condition. Our research resulted in statistically relevant information on AP, ALT, AST, glucose, creatinine and urea. By doing this, we were the first in Bosnia and Herzegovina to gain results to set reference values for crucial biochemical parameters. Comparing similar researches in the region, our results will constitute the base for the future research as well as for regular health monitoring of fallow deer farms in BiH.

The aim of this study was to investigate clinicallly manifesting footrot in sheep. The monitoring was conducted during April – December, 2010 in the area of Canton Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Clinical monitoring included 9 flocks, with a total of 1.015 sheep of Pramenka breed, both males and females. Based on the severity of the foot lesions, we divide animals in three groups. The first group of sheep had lesions of the interdigital skin only. The second group of sheep had underrunning lesions in a small proportion of the feet. The third group of sheep were either walking on the knees or remained recumbent (underrunning lesions on most of the feet). During clinical observation, a total of 80 animals (7.88%) with clinically manifesting footrot were recorded. Within the first group 75% of animals were diseased, in the second group 20%, and in the third group 5% of the total number of animals with clinically manifesting disease. Our results suggested that clinically manifesting footrot is widespread in Canton Sarajevo, and therefore it is necessary to undertake preventive and control measures against this contagious bacterial disease.
