| Abstract | ||
| Current research studied the effect of using two different doses of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) leaves powder 50 and 100 g / head / day to Iraqi Awassi rams, with age of 12-18 months. Twelves Awassi rams were divided randomly into three groups, as follows; Control group, which was given zero dose, second group was given 50g/ head / day, and the third group, which was given 100 g/ head / day, From 13 April, to 13 May 2015. Blood sample were collected to determine the concentration of hemoglobin (Hb), total number of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCSs).Weights of the three experimental groups were measured at the start and the end of the experiment. Results showed that there was a significant increase (P<0.05) on Final weight gain, total weight gain, average daily gain (ADG), and dry mater intake in Awassi rams fed lettuce leave 100 g/ head / day as compared with control. Whereas there were no significant differences (P>0.05) in the blood hematological parameters (Hb, RBCs, and WBCs. | ||
