Abstract

This study was carried out at the University of Kufa to determine the activation of Eruca sativa (jar jeer) seeds powder on some hormones and blood parameters of Awassi lambs. The fifteen Awassi lambs aged 4-4.5 years an average weighed of (33.04) Kg were fed traditional ration and randomly divided into three groups. The first group was fed a standard ration without additions as the control group, the second and third groups were fed a regular diet with 40 or 80 gm/kg of body weight of eruca sativa seeds powder, and the lambs were fed with Eruca sativa seeds showed a significant decrease of anti-mullerian hormone, a substantial increase of testosterone hormone. There was a considerable increase in ALP alkaline phosphatase in lamb fed on a diet with E.sativa seed powder as compared with control, there were no significant differences in levels of AST, or ALT enzymes in the second and third treatments.
