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 .
