A study was carried out at animal farm pertaining to college of veterinary medicine, Baghdad university from 1/July /2009 up to 28/February2010.Twenty Awssi male Lambs of 4-5 months old and 20-22 kg weight were implication in this experiment . equally divided into four groups and each animal fed on concentrate diets 2% of body weight with grazing for 4-5 hours a day . The first group(C) was kept as control group , the second group (N) was daily fed with same percentage of concentrate diet contain 7.5% ground Nigella sativa seeds , third group (F) also fed with same percentage contain 7.5% ground fenugreek seeds ,while the fourth group(NF) group fed the 2% concentrate diet supplemented with both (7.5% of Nigella sativa and 7.5% fenugreek seeds respectively) as group feeding .The results revealed that using Nigella sativa or Fenugreek seeds as well as using both of them as a mixed feed supplemented with concentrated diet of Awassi ram lambs showed that the treated group recorded significantly ( P< 0.05 ) higher values compare with control groups in Hb ,PCV, Platelets as well as in total blood count (WBC),nutrophils and lymphocytes .While control group showed significantly ( P< 0.05 ) higher values compare with all treated groups in Granulocytes (esinophils) particularly during last three months of the experiment .
