| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was conducted at the Ruminant Researches station at Abu - Ghraib / Department of Animal Resources Researches / Ministry of Agriculture, for the period from 19th Feb 2011 to 25th of June 2011 to investigate the influence of different intensities of magnetically treated water on some physical and chemical semen characteristics of Turkish - Awassi rams. Fifteen ram of 2 - 2.5 years old and used in this study. Rams were randomly divided into 3 equal groups of 5 rams each group. The first group was drinking tap water only which is considered as a control group. Whereas the second and third groups drinking magnetically treated water with two intensity 1000 and 2000 gauss respectively. Results shows: Ejaculate volume showed significantly increase in 1000, 2000 gauss compared with control since 12th week until16th week. In addition, the 2000 gauss group showed significantly increase on 1000 gauss in 16th week. Mass Activity, Individual motility significantly increase in 1000, 2000 gauss compared with control in 14th and 16th weeks. The 2000 gauss group showed significantly increase on 1000 gauss in 14th and 16th weeks. Percentage of Dead Sperm significantly decrease in 1000, 2000 gauss compared with control since 12th week until16th week.In addition, 2000 gauss group showed significantly decrease on 1000 gauss in 14th and 16th weeks. Abnormal Sperm Percentage significantly decrease in 1000, 2000 gauss compared with control since 10th week until16th week. In addition, 2000 gauss group showed significantly decrease on 1000 gauss in 12th and 14h weeks. Sperm concentration does not show any significantly for all groups and the increase arithmetically only. Fructose sugar level showed significantly increase in 2000 gauss compared with control in 14th and 16th weeks. (AST) and (ALT) in seminal plasma do not show any significantly for all groups and the increase arithmetically only. | ||
