| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted at the Ruminant Research Station/ General Authority for Agricultural Researches/ Abu Graib to find out relationship between potassium concentration in the blood and some economic traits of Cyprus goat. The experiment was applied on 50 female Cyprus goat over a period from 1/6/2014 up to 1/6/2015. The results revealed the level in the blood has three pattern distributions which represent low potassium level (less than 20 mm/L), high level (more than 40 mm/L) and medium level (20-40 mm/L). The distribution percentage of potassium level in the studied samples were 32.00, 44.00 and 24.00% for low, medium and high level respectively, the variance between these levels were significant (P≤0.01). Low potassium level showed significantly higher (P<0.05) in the daily and total milk production compared with other levels. Also the results revealed there were no significant effects of potassium levels in the lactation period of female. The effect of potassium level in body weight of body skeletal measurements of kids at weaning was significant (P<0.01) for medium level of potassium, exception the high of animal at chest. Also, the results revealed a significant differences in the average of prolificacy which were 1.86, 1.53 and 1.55 kid/ female for low, medium and high level of potassium in the blood respectively. Therefore, It could be concluded from this study that potassium levels in the blood can be used as indicator to put a strategically method for improvement the Cyprus goat to increase the economical income by selection which give us a good performance | ||
