| Abstract | ||
| The aim of this study was to find out the effect of adding Eruca Sativa seed in concentrate diet alone or with Vit.E administration on productivity of male Awassi lambs.This study was conducted on Veterinary College,Baghdad University.Fifteen Awassi ram lambs at age of 5-6 months ,were divided equally in to three groups accordingly and treated as followed :The frist group A(G)was fed on concentrate diet containing Eruca Sativa seeds (5%)at a rate of 400g/day /haed,The second group B(G+E) was fed on the same ration mentioned above with Vit.E with a dose of 400mg/head was given orally bimonthly ,The animals in the third group C (control)were fed on a concentrate diet free of Eruca Sativa at a rate of 400g/day.All animals offered 0.5kg alfalfa/day/head and freely grazing for 3-6 h daily. The results revealed the followings:Body weight was increased in all animal progressively. Animals in group (G)and (G+E)were significantly (p<0.05) or mathematically increased compared with the control groups especially in late perieds.The absolute gains of the first and second groups were significantly (p<0.05) higher than the control group .Body skeletal measurements of all animals increased progressively .The first and second groups showed better values as compared with the control group.Testes measurements progressively increased with age for all animals .Testes circumferences recorded significantly (p<0.05) hiyher in group G and G+E at the end period of the experiment compared with the control group.By using Eruca Sativa seeds caused an improvement in wool yield and its traits viz.;greasy and clean wool,staple length and fiber length and diameter.However,the second group recorded better values in some productivity traits such as body weight and wool production compared with the first group. There fore ,it was concluded that adding Eruca Sativa seeds in concentrate diet caused an improvement in productivity traits. Vit.E.administration with Eruca Sativa seeds caused more improvement in some productive traits. | ||
