Abstract
This study was carried out at the Sheep and Goat Research Station, State Board for Agricultural Research (20 km west of Baghdad). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Propolis extract in level of LH, FSH and Testosterone concentration on twenty four lambs of Turkish Awassi lambs at weaning (90 day) divided in to four groups, control group (G1) not given Propolis extract, whenever the second group (G2) and the third group (G3) and the fourth group (G4) given Propolis extract 5, 10, 15 ml twice time in the week for the three months. Significant effect of treatments in LH level through first month (P<0.05) and third month (P<0.01) from starting study, as well as increased highly significantly of LH level from month to month per treatment and advantage in third month. FSH level was significant (P<0.05) in first month and highly significant (P<0.01) in second month, but non-significant difference in third month in this study. Significant effect of period (month), increased level of FSH after three month from applied of treatment. Significant effect of treatment in level of testosterone after one month (P<0.01), otherwise the difference was significant from the end of second month (P<0.05) and three month (P<0.01), advantage of treatment at use of the fourth group (G4). Increased of values from month to month until a maximum values in third month. The result of this study was shown the higher effect of Propolis on levels of LH, FSH and Testosterone concentrations and shown the effect of months on the levels of the LH, FSH and Testosterone concentrations at starting the study.
