Reproductive 1996 Continuous Physiology 3 Reality of the artificial insemination activity in Iraq The livestock animals in Iraq earned some characteristics referred to their adoptability to the climatic conditions, their acceptability to the actual management conditions like bad housing and poor nutrition and veterinary care as well as to their resistance to endemic diseases. These animals also have low productive traits when compared with the other original breeds. Therefore, since 1941, the livestock specialists design the plans to acquire the superior characteristics of the original breeds through cross breeding with local breeds to produce elite crossbred individuals. This would consequently result in an appropriate productive efficiency and good quality products. During 1941, Iraq imported from Palestine four Friesian cows and two Friesian bulls to begin the cross breeding program with the local cows, followed by importing many other numbers of Friesian cows from other countries such the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, England and France in accompanies with imported other breeds in limited numbers like Holstein, Ayrshire, Jersey, Brown Swiss, Charolais, Brahman, Limousine and Simmental. However, the program continued to focus on cross breeding of Friesian breed with local breeds, Janoubi and Karadi in particular, with no indication of cross breeding with Sharabi and Ristaki.

At least three foreigners were wounded, along with three Iraqis traveling in separate cars. Two killed, Sadr aide arrested in Hilla raid. (Reuters) Two Iraqis were reportedly killed and an aide to Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr was arrested in a raid by troops of U.S.-led occupation forces in the Iraqi city of Hilla.
