| Abstract Twenty four male Awassi lambs aged 3.5-4 months with average weights 21.46±0.25 Kg. were assigned into three main groups (8 lambs/group), each main group was divided into two sub groups (4 lambs/ group) according to their live body weight. All groups of lambs were fed on iso-nitrogen and iso-caloric diets. The 1st group was fed on ration without Eruca sativa seed (control ration), while 2nd and 3rd groups were fed on standard ration contained either 35 or 70 g. ground Eruca sativa seed/Kg. feed, respectively and rations were offered at rate 4% of live body weight for 4 months. Results indicated that average daily gain, total gain,final weight, different body dimensions, red cell count, hemoglobin , packed cell volume, total protein, globulin and ALP were increased significantly (P≤0.05), while glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, AST and ALT were decreased signifi- cantly (P≤0.05) in blood lambs fed 2nd and 3rd treatments that contained ground Eruca Sativa seed/Kg. feed, respectively as compared to those fed first treatment (control ration). It was concluded that adding of ground Eruca Sativa Seed had improved some productive and blood parameters. | ||
