Evaluation of Water Quality and Heavy Metal Indices of Some Water Resources at Kafr El-Dawar Region, Egypt
Aggag
A.M.
Kafer El-Dawr is a major industrial and municipalitycity at the western area of Nile Delta, northern Egypt.Many factories are founded in Kafr El-Dawar region thatdischarges many pollutant elements. Assessment of Waterquality is an important issue to know whether it is safe ornot for irrigation. So, twenty-five water samples werecollected from some water sources established in Kafer El-Dawr region. These sources are Yarn and Fabric (YD),Kafer El-Dawr Defshu (KDD), Dabora Abu Qir (DAD),Dabora Defshu Canal (DC) and Abu Qir (AD). Whiskerbox plot-median indicated that the heavy metals in thewaters of these drains can be classified according to theirconcentration homogeneity into (a) wide spreadheterogeneousincluded: Cr, Co and Cu. (b) Moderatespread - moderately homogeneous included: Pb, Ni andZn, and (c) narrow spread - homogeneous included: Fe,Cd, Li and Mn. The correlation study classified the heavymetals into three groups: The positively highly correlationbetween Pb and Cd, Co and Cr concluded that the waterresources have the same pollution source. Contrary, thenegatively highly correlated between (Pb_Mn), (Mn_Cu)and (Co_Li) might be a tool to assume that these heavymetals originated from different pollution resources.Water quality for irrigation was evaluated by waterquality index (WQI), heavy metals pollution in short andlong-term use by conventional scale, heavy metalscontamination index (CI) and metal index (MI). Accordingto EPA the concentrations of heavy metals was generallysafe except cadmium for short-term use. For long-termuse, Co occupied the polluted class in all water resourcesand Mn in water resource (KDD). The risky pollution wasfound in Cd and Cr in all resources as well as Mn in(DAD) and (AD) resources.Water quality index (WQI) showed that these waterresources are good for irrigation utilization. Metal indexvalues cleared that drains or canal are seriouslythreatened with metal pollution for irrigation usage(MI>1). Only KDD drain has no heavy metal problems touse in irrigation. The contamination index (CI) showedthat the water resources (YD), (DAD) and (AD) hadnegative values of -5.67, -7.26 and -7.49, respectively. Thisis indicated that these water resources are safe to use inshort-term run. Contrary, all studied water resourceswere highly contaminated and cannot be use at the longrun.

Shaza
I. D. Al-Qurashi
The seasonal activity and abundance of two blowflies species of forensic entomology were investigated by using baited traps in four slaughterhouses at four different locations in Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia. This study were carried out from 19 February,2013 to 21 January ,2014. Three traps were fitted in each slaughterhouse. Two blowflies were attracte, Chrysomya megacephala and Crysomya marginalis. The results showed that the most abundant in all the sites was the C. megacephala (significant difference) than the second type of blowflies C. marginalis, which has been caught in small quantities in four seasons. The study showed that the peak seasonal activity of the fly C. megacephala was in the winter season with significant differences from the other seasons in the Jeddah area, where the average temperature in this season is the maximum 30.8 and minimum is 20.9 It is suitable for the spread of this kind of flies as well as C. marginalis. It found that less season activity of these insects was the summer, where the average temperature in Jeddah was 37.2 degrees in maximum and it was minimum 28.4 ° C and thus the climatic conditions, food and the presence of host may affect the distribution and activity of blue flies in the Jeddah area.I t was found from the study that female attracted traps food baits traps more than males with significant differences, where the average was in females 91.71 and 2.49 and males 36.33 and 0.38 in the winter season, the highest rate of attraction for these insects in different seasons for each of the C. megacephala and C. marginalis, respectively. Compared with other seasons, it has also attracted the male less than females in bait traps . This is an important study to identify the activity of certain types of blue flies, which are considered of great importance in forensic medicine.

The present study reports the variation in the essential oils (EOs) composition from needles and scale leaves of Pinus halepensis, Cupressus sempervirens and Juniperus phoenicea which collected from three different altitudes at Al-Jabel Al-Akhdar area, Libya. The impact of the altitude on the quantity and quality of EOs was studied. In addition, the antibacterial activity was evaluated using microdilution broth assay technique. The results showed that the highest percentages of the EOs yield were found in P. halepensis with 0.41, 0.60, and 0.43% for the altitudes of 125m (I), 391m (II), and 851m (III), respectively, while the lowest percentages of the yield were found in J. phoenicea, with 0.15, 0.07, and 0.18% at altitudes of I, II, and III, respectively. Based on P. halepensis EOs analyses using GC/MS, 35 components have been detected, which represents 89.92, 91.56, and 86.44% for the altitudes of I, II and III, respectively. Furthermore, high percentages from the components of α-pinene, β-pinene, α-terpineol and caryophyllene were identified at the three tested altitudes. For C. sempervirens EOs, 33 components were identified representing 84.94, 93.37 and 99.48% for levels I, II and III, respectively. The highest percentages of the EOs components in this species were α-pinene, terpinen-4ol and α-terpiny acetate at the three tested elevations. However, the detected main components in J. phoenecea EOs were α-pinene, α-myrcene, α-terpinyl acetate and γterpinene. The highest antibacterial activity was observed for the oils from P. halepensisat and J. phoenicea at altitude I against the Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Erwinia carotovora, Corynebacterium fascians and Pseudomonas solanacearum. While the EOs extracted from scale leaves of C. sempervirens obtained from trees growing at level II were the most active against the tested bacteria. The results of this work revealed the impacts of the environmental conditions on the EOs composition which affected significantly in its quantitative and qualitative performances. Consequently, their biological activities were varied considerably. Moreover, the obtained data offer the opportunity to choose EOs with preferential compound for pharmaceutical, pesticides, perfume and food industries in such important region in Libya.

Estimating Salinity of Soils from Northwest of Egypt using Different Soil-to- Water Ratio Extracts
Ramzy
M.R. Hedia
Saturated soil paste extracts and different soil to water ratios are commonly used in soil salinity studies and field remediation of salt-affected soils. This experimental study was carried out to assess the possibility of estimating electrical conductivity and soluble ions concentrations of saturated soil paste extracts from 1:1, 1:2.5 and 1:5 soil to water ratios. Twenty-five undisturbed surface soil samples were collected to represent sandy, calcareous and clay soils commonly occur in the Northwest of Egypt. Electrical conductivity (EC) and major soluble ions concentrations were measured. Soil specific and combined regression equations and coefficients of determination of saturated soil paste EC and analytes versus 1:1, 1:2.5 and 1:5 soil to water ratios were evaluated. Estimation of saturated soil paste EC and other analytes from these soil to water ratios was successful with high correlation except for K and Ca ions in sandy and calcareous soil, respectively. Slopes of regression lines in proximity of 2, 4 and 7.5 for the 1:1, 1:2.5 and 1:5 soil to water ratios, respectively reflect the dilution effect of readily soluble salts. The use of these regression equations to estimate the saturated soil paste EC and other analytes has potential benefits of minimizing labor, time and costs required for saturated soil paste extract preparation. Soil specific regression equations are recommended for more precise estimation of saturated soil paste attributes.

Influence of Agricultural Wastes and Incubation Period on Aggregate Stability in Sandy Soil
Ahmed F.
Saad
A laboratory experiment was conducted to examine the influence of various organic materials on soil aggregate stability of sandy soil collected from Al-Bustan region, Egypt. The study involved five treatments: control, incorporating 1% of wheat straw, 1% clover straw, 1% mixture of wheat & clover, and 1% chicken manure into sandy soil on the basis of air dry weight. Soil samples were incubated at field capacity for 7, 14, 28, 42 and 56 days at 30 Co±1. Water-stable aggregate size distribution (1.19-2, 0.5-1.19, 0·25–0.5mm) was determined through wet sieving. The organic wastes treatments improved soil aggregate stability compared with control treatment. The changes in aggregate stability indices (mean weight diameter (MWD), Structure coefficient (Cr), detachability index (DI), percentage of aggregate destruction (PAD) and Wet aggregate stability (WAS) were determined and calculated weekly over the periods of incubation. The application of organic wastes significantly increased all aggregate stability indices compared to the control treatment except PAD. Soil aggregate indices had significant positive correlations between each other. MWD, Cr, WAS and DI values were the highest in chicken manure treatment, while the PAD values were the lowest. Disaggregation occurred in all treatments after 28 days of incubation. Polynomial function brought higher correlations between MWD, Cr, DI and PAD vs. the incubation period of sandy soil amended with organic wastes. The Cr, DI and PAD vs. MWD produced linear relationship with high correlations.

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to mitigate the deterious effect of drainage water on growth and nutrient uptake of forage maize grown on Borg ElArab calcareous soil. The soil has high CaCo3 content and irrigated with well water (22.5 %) and drainage water (27.5 %). This practice increased calcium carbonate content in soils and increased electric conductivity values to 3.65 dS/m and 9.30 dS/m in soils irrigated with well water and drainage water, respectively. The obtained results indicated that the saline water have a significant effect on maize fodder, silage quality and maize plant, seed weight, plant height, root / shoot ratio. The forage maize and maize silages yield were significantly reduced at different irrigation water treatments. The forage yield, silages index and forage index (%) also significantly reduced. The mean forage index was found to be 0. 36 and was not affected by well water salinity level. In addition, the results showed that, the maize silages with lower content of crude fiber are considered as important energy source for feeding. The content of acetic acid was lower in silages at different salinity levels and the values were 25.34, 21.33, 11.27 and 11.27 S0, S1, S2 and S3. Direct cause for reduction of maize silages quality was the higher content of acetic acid.

Jatropha curcas L., a multipurpose shrub, planting in a marginal soil, it has gained lot of importance for the production of biodiesel. Moringa oleifera Lam., is a highly valued plant, it has an impressive range of medicinal uses with high nutritional value. The field experiment was carried out at Ismailia and Alexandria governorates, at east and west of Egypt, respectively. Jatropha and Moringa were cultivated from May 2013 to October 2015 under different ecological regions and two plant spacing (0.5m*0.5m and 1.0m*1.0m), to evaluate the productivity. The results revealed that there was high significant different of the most of growth parameters of Jatropha and Moringa shrubs in Ismailia region as compared with Alexandria region. It was clear that, the amount of fruits, seeds and oil yield (kg ha-1) of Moringa were increased in 2015 as compared with 2014. Jatropha started to give fruits at 2015 in the both two regions, but it did not give fruits with wide spacing in Alexandria. The results also revealed that the highest values of fruits, seeds and oil yield were 2111, 621 and 82 kg ha-1, respectively for Moringa with 0.5m* 0.5m spacing in Ismailia region. While, the lowest values of fruits, seeds and oil yield were 552, 142 and 13 kg ha-1, respectively for Moringa with 1.0m*1.0m spacing in Alexandria. Also, the highest values of fruits and seeds yield were 191 and 105 kg ha-1, respectively of Jatropha in Ismailia, while the highest value of squeeze oil percentage was 17.23% for jatropha with narrow spacing in Alexandria followed by Ismailia region. It could be concluded that Ismailia region more suitable for planting Jatropha and Moringa especially with narrow spacing to give the highest amount of fruits, seeds and oil yield, but Alexandria region gave the highest oil percentage with Jatropha under narrow spacing.

This study has investigated, over two seasons, salinity stress, and two mineral nitrogen fertilizer effects on Acacia gerrardii (Benth.) and Vachellia origena (Hunde.) growth. Photosynthesis and growth characteristics both responded positively to fertilization. Vachellia origena growth improved and become more tolerant to salinity stress by aid of fertilization. Calcium nitrate fertilization has induced the highest seedling height, diameter, and dry weight. The salt concentrations negatively affected growth, particularly 5000 ppm. Calcium nitrate or ammonium sulfate can improve the growth and the biomass of the tree seedlings and increase tolerance to high salinities either in nursery or in the field.

Pollination behaviour and extent of self-incompatibility were studied in Egyptian clover, an important fodder legume cultivated in Egypt. The effect of pollination mode on quantitative and qualitative parameters of Egyptian clover seed yield has been studied at Gemmiza Research Station during 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 winter seasons. Maximum seed setting percentage (80.5%) was recorded with first hybrid Carniolan bees pollination and 6 frame colony (BP – six f) followed by frame colony (BP- four F) with seed setting percentage (73.1 %) and two frame colony (BP-two F) with seed setting percentage (71.6%). Maximum seed yield (2346.6 seeds) was observed with treatment BP- 6 F followed by BP- 4 F (2250.0 seeds ) and BP – 2 F(1826.6 seeds). Still the lowest seed yield was found with the without insect pollination (WIP) treatment. Also, minimum 1000 – seed weight with WIP was observed (2.56g). The 1000 seed weight of BP – four F, six F and BPtwo F were 3.56, 3.30, 3.80g, respectively. The highest seed germination percentage (95.7%) was recorded with BP– six F and the lowest germination percentage (38.5 %) was found with WIP.

F. El-Aswad
Adsorption of pesticides on soils is a key process for the assessment of their fate and transport in the environment. The kinetics and adsorption/desorption isotherms of spinosad on Abis soil and its clay and humic acid (HA) soil fractions were studied using batch experiments. Equilibrium time was investigated at 10 mg l1 spinosad initial concentration in 0.01M CaCl2 background solution. Adsorption isotherms were carried out at different initial spinosad concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 100 mg l-1). Desorption experiment was started immediately after adsorption equilibrium was reached through two successive dilution steps with 0.01M CaCl2 solution. Equilibrium time of spinosad adsorption was at 24 h. Soil clay fraction had higher affinity to adsorb spinosad than HA and Abis soil had the least affinity. Adsorption data were successfully fitted to the Freundlich equation. Slopes of the linearized Freundlich equation, 1/nads were 1.11, 1.54 and 1.49 and the intercepts, Kads were 2.09, 5.02 and 9.21 for Abis soil, HA and clay fractions, respectively. Spinosad was not completely desorbed from the sorbents tested and the coefficient of hysteresis was 0.68 for Abis soil. Spinosad had KOC of 1050 l kg-1. The calculated groundwater ubiquity score (GUS) index of spinosad in Abis soil ranged from 0.93 to 1.20 and from 2.16 to 2.35 indicating spinosad very low to low and moderate leaching potential under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively.

A study was conducted at Etay Elbaroud Research Station, Agriculture Research Center, MALR, Egypt, to investigate the effect of salinity on growth and genetic diversity of broad bean. The experiment was a randomized complete block design in a split-plot array with three replications. The main treatments were salt levels (0, 25, 50 and 100 mM of NaCl) and the sub treatments were broad bean cultivars (Etay1, Giza3, Giza843, Nubaria1, and Lozodo). Seeds were sowed in pots containing 1 Kg pre-washed quartz sand and irrigated three times per week by adding 100 mL of solution consisting of base nutrient solution and the salt level, to each pot. After four weeks from sowing the whole plants were collected. The results indicated that increasing salt concentration decreased the fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots, shoot height, and leaf area of all cultivars. However, shoot/root ratio on fresh and dry weight basis and moisture content of shoots and roots were increased with increasing salt concentration. Chlorophyll a and b and carotenoids content tended to decrease with increasing salt concentration. The genetic diversity analyses allowed classifying the broad bean cultivars into three main clusters; Cluster A includes Giza3 and Giza843, cluster B includes Lozodo and Itay1, and cluster C includes Nubaria1. The different salt levels caused the synthesis and increased the intensity of the original protein bands and caused the appearance of additional new bands of broad bean total protein. The broad bean cultivars were grouped into tolerant (Lozodo and Itay1), moderately tolerant (Giza3 and Giza843), and sensitive (Nubaria1).

Woody species such as trees are ecosystem engineers and landscape modulators as they create resource niches and patches for a whole suite of other organisms dependent upon the development, structural support, decay, and renewal of trees. Taxodium is a genus classified in the subfamily Taxodioideae of Cupressaceae, the cypress family. The wood from Taxodium has long been economically valuable due to its resilience, and has been heavily harvested because it is resistant to decay but is also soft, light, very durable, and does not warp easily. Four different localities were selected to survey the Bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) samples as follow: El-Beheria Governorate (Nubaria City), Alexandria Governorate (Sabahia farm), Qalyubia Governorate and Giza Governorate (Orman Garden). Five tress were selected from each location except Orman Garden was eight trees. The results showed that there is high significant variation between the collected trees and the data detected that there are in Egypt two types of Taxodium the first one is Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich found in Alexandria, ElBeheria and Qalyubia Governorates and two different species of Taxodium trees in Giza locations grown in dry soil and swamp land, the first five trees were Taxodium distichum (Bald cypress) and the other three trees were Taxodium distichum var. imbricarium (Pond cypress) that grown in swamp land.

A study was conducted under a high tunnel during the spring season of 2014 at the University of Wyoming Research and Extension Center located in Powell, WY, USA, to investigate the effect of nitrogen (N) fertilization on growth, yield, and quality of spinach. Four N fertilization rates (56, 112, 168 and 224 kg N ha-1 as urea) were used in a completely randomized design with three replications. Eight weeks after planting, the spinach were harvested. The results indicated that increasing N fertilization rates up to 224 kg N ha-1 increased plant growth (fresh and dry plant weight, leaf area and leaf area index) and yield (fresh and dry weight as ton ha-1). Increasing N fertilization rates significantly decreased spinach quality parameters (moisture and dry matter contents and nitrate content). The nitrogen utilization and use efficiency were decreased significantly with increasing N fertilization rates. Increasing N fertilization rates generally increased the spinach content of N, P, K, Fe, and Cu and decreased the contents of Mn, and did not affect the contents of S, Ca, Mg, and Zn. The results suggest that increasing N fertilization rates up to 224 kg N ha-1 under a high tunnel conditions has positive effects on spinach yield and adverse effect on spinach quality.

The Present study was carried out to imploy the polyacry lamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) characterization of Serw 1, as a parent, Gemmiza 1 as a mother varieties and their first generations polycrosses a long 50,100, 150 and 200 meter distances from the parent variety (Serw 1). To determine isolation distance (50m) between cultivated Egyptian clover, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS – PAGE) was employed to detect variation in total soluble protein content technique among five distances of Egyptian clover namely, 200m 150, 100, 50m and Gemmiza 1 distance. After detection of isolation distance with 50m, different protein fragmentation was recorded for the cultivars which ranged from sixteen to eleven for distance 100, 200m and Gemmiza 1; respectively, with molecular weight ranged from 207 to 46 KDa. Finding of similarity and dissimilarity for protein patterns of cultivated Egyptian clover showed that, distances No. Serw 1 and 50m showed same protein patterns with almost protein loci and molecular weights with fourteen protein bands. According to electrophoretic study, phyllogenetic tree was constructed and indicated clear genetic base for distances Serw 1 and 50m which belongs to the same subgroup. Our previous findings detected isolation distance with 50m could cause genetical mixing probability between Serw 1 and 50m cultivars which represented as male and females; respectively. A chart of minimum recommended isolation distances for Egyptian clover, the chart includes three minimum distances recommendations: - Isolation distance of 200m for foundation seed. - Isolation distance of 150m for registered seed. - Isolation distance of 100m for certified seed.

Said
Abbas Mohammed El-Sayed
The growth and yield response of a greenhouse experiments were conducted to investigate soybean plants to colonization by 20 isolates (including G. glomus and 3 Gigaspora species) of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Each isolate was evaluated in a high (71kg/fed. Bray-1 P2O5) and a low (21kg/fed. Bray-1 P2O5) fertility soil. Colonization by most Glomus isolates significantly increased plant top dry weight and seed yields. These isolates produced a high increases in dry weigh in the low of soil fertility . Colonization by five of the Gigaspora isolates did not significantly affect top dry weight and seed yield in the high or low fertility soil. The value of comparative testing of species is discussed.

A pot experiment was conducted on statice (Limonium sinuatum, L.) P. Mill. cv "Sunday Lavander" throughout the two successive growth seasons (2013/2014) and (2014/2015) in El-Zuhrya Botanical Garden, Horticulture Research Institute, Giza, Egypt to study the effect of Humic acid foliar spray (25% w/v) applied at three different doses of application (5 .0 , 10.0 , 15 cm3/plant) on vegetative growth, flowering and mineral contents of statice leaves. The foliar spray was applied at either 15 day or 30 day intervals. All statice plants received the recommended NPK fertilization doses except for the unfertilized plants which did not receive any fertilizers. The results indicated that all Humic acid treatments resulted in considerable significant increases on all studied vegetative growth and flowering parameters compared with the control. The results revealed that applying 5 cm foliar humic acid at 30- day intervals gave the tallest plant height in both seasons. The plants received 15- cm3 humic acid at 30-day intervals, gave the highest significant values of leaf number per plant, leaf area, number of branches per plant and fresh and dry weights of leaves compared with the control. While, the highest significant values of stem diameter were observed after treatment with 10 cm humic at 30-day intervals in both seasons. Whereas, the highest significant values of stem fresh and dry weights were observed after treatment with 15 cm3 humic at 15day intervals. Regarding the effect of Humic acid treatment on flowering parameters. The highest number of stalks per plant was detected after treatment with 15 cm3 humic acid at 15-day.While the highest recorded stalk length values were detected after treatment with 15 cm3 humic acid at 30-day intervals. Whereas, the highest number of florets per flowering stalk and the highest significant values of dry weight of florets per flowering stalk were detected after treatment with 10 cm3 humic acid at 30-day intervals. Also, the results indicated that treatment with 15 cm3 humic acid at 15-day intervals gave the highest significant values of root dry weight. As for the effect of Humic acid application on leaf chlorophyll content and nutrients uptake in leaves, the results revealed that the highest significant values of leaf chlorophyll content and leaf NPK contents were recorded after treatment with 15 cm3 humic acid at 15-day intervals. It can be concluded that Humic acid when applying as foliar spray has a potential effect and can be used for increasing nutrient uptake and availability thus stimulating growth and flowering characteristics of statice plants cv. "Sunday Lavander".

The present study was carried out at the Experimental Farm, University of Sadat City, Egypt for two successive seasons (2013/2014 and 2014/2015). Spastiano as a new Scotch potato cultivar in Egypt was used. The split plots in Complete Randomized Block Design (CRBD) was applied. The study aimed to investigate the effect of organic farming using natural spraying foliar ores of (biophertel 10 g/L + Biocide 5 g/L+ bentocide 10 g/L) and 500kg/fed soil application with natural elements mixture versus the conventional farming under four levels of water stress (100%, 80%, 60% and 50% of the ETc irrigation requirements) on potato. The significantly highest potato yield, size and number of tubers were figured out at irrigation level 100% ETc by conventional farming during season of 2014. The lowest values for the potatoes yield and its components characters were observed at irrigation level 50 % ETc by organic farming. Increase water stress resulted in decline the aforementioned characters during the two seasons. No significant differences could be traced regarding texture and colour of tubers cultivated by organic and conventional farming at 100 % Etc. Slight variation could be observed in terms of gross chemical composition of potato tubers cultivated by conventional and organic farming. No significant effect could be observed neither for type of farming nor water stress on sensorial acceptance of French fries. On the other hand, organic farming of potatoes resulted in lowering the oil retention in French fries.

The rural housing is considered an indicator for the economic level and the environmental situation among villages and the extent of variation of services among them, the environmental behavior of the villagers in terms of the protection of land resources and lack of expansion in building on agricultural land and the use of manufactured building materials instead of destroying agricultural land.It also refers to the health level of family members by protecting them from creepy-crawly and bacterial pollution according to the cleanliness of housing and taking into account the health conditions in its design, and the development in the form of housing is determined by the human position, which varies upon the difference of civilization to which it belongs that includes a number of social, economic and cultural variable factors, besides the housing with its form and design represents the social way of life in any community and reflects the level of living of its members as well as it expresses directly about its customs and traditions.
And if it is difficult that the house is suitable healthy, socially and economically for different categories of people in the city, it is more difficult in the countryside because it is known that it is affected by many societal and technological factors that make the individuals accept to live in particular houses that may be in favor of the development of the individual and the community and on the other hand may not be in the their favor.
This research focused mainly to identify the community, humanitarian, architectural and technological changes affecting rural houses in a village of Tanta in Gharbia Governorate.
The exploration data was collected by using a questionnaire form with personal interview on a sample of 200 Surveyed persons from the total that represents 10% of the housing in Mehalet Menouf village - Gharbia Governorate, the statistical analysis of the data has been corried out in each of the reiterating, the percentage, the arithmetic mean, the standard deviation and the Simple correlation coefficient
The findings indicate that there is a decent relational relationship at the potential level of 0.01 between the environment and the state of residence as a dependent variable and each of the independent variables represented in: the surveyed age, the educational status of each of the surveyed and her children, poultry possessory size and independence of living.
It has also noticed large discrepancy between the respondents with respect to each of the variables related to each of the independence of living, agricultural and animal tenancy and home figurines and it turned out that there is great variation with respect to the direction of respondents towards healthy residential environment.

Tarek
M.M.Abbasy
The research aimed to developing a strategy to raise the self sufficiency of meat proportion in Egypt, and raising the production efficiency of cows and buffaloes calves fattening farms in in Alexandria Governorate in particular, where the average per capita of meat was decreasing to reaching about 26 gm / day as an average during the period of (2000-2014) and about 28 gm / day in 2014, this is less than the internationally amounting recommended which about 130 gm / day according to WHO estimation, as a result of continuing in the population growth which amounted about 86 million people in 2014, as well as the phenomenon spread calves slaughter, what is negatively impacting on cows and buffalo number needed for breeding, This led to import more than 420 thousand tons of meat in 2014 which estimated at about 1.7$ milliard.
The research mainly led on data of a producers sample of cows and buffalo calves in Alexandria Governorate during 2016 to assess the needs of feed, the research has been designed two plans over 5.10 years to increasing numbers livestock allocated over those years , as well as estimating the amount of concentrated feed that must be imported until the land reclamation and cultivation crops of concentrated feed needed for such increase, research has also found several recommendations, the most important of them are:
1- Put on strategic Planned to purify local cows and crossbred with foreign breeds (like Friesian) and import of just sperm in nitrogen tank which weighed about 5 k.gm to improve the municipal qualities of cows rather than the importation of cattle and meat.
2- Stop imports of live cattle, but in seasons with interest quarantine.
3- Make a special program of immunization and interest in providing vaccines and medicines in a manner time to all breeders.
4- interest in national project of calves fattening as a renaissance of livestock in Egypt.
5- Instruct fattening producer to use optimal combinations of concentrated, green and dry feed for calves fattening and minimize its costs.
