Abstract
This study was conducted the College of Agriculture / University of Basrah from 10/1/2008 up to 25/4/2008 in order to find out the influence of of Oxytetracycline and Vitamin's (A, D3, E) supplementations on growth, blood paramrters of Arabi lambs. Sixteen Arabi male lambs were used in this experiment, were divided randomly into four groups. All these groups fed a concentrate ration contain barely (59.5%), wheat bran (38%), urea (1.5%) and NaCl (1%). First group was a control (no treated). The 2nd, 3rd, 4th groups were treated with Vitamins (A,D3,E) Oxytetracycline orally, Vitamins (A,D3,E) and Oxytetracycline orally given together respectively. The results of the currents study may be summarized as following: 1. Average daily gain and body weight of treated groups show higher values significantly (P<0.05) compared with control group. 2. Feed conversion ratio of treated groups decreased and feed intake increased. 3. There were no significant differences in the total red and white blood cells except a significant difference in red blood cells showed at 3 months period in groups 3 and 4 compared with groups 1 and 2. 4. There were significant differences in haemoglobin and packed cell volume during 2nd and 3rd month of the study between treated and control group.
