| Abstract | ||
| An experiment was conducted at Ruminante Researches Station at Abu – Ghraib/Department of Animal Resource Researches/Office of Agricultural Researches/Ministry of Agriculture, for a period from 15th Dec. 2009 up to 15th June 2010. Thirty- six pregnant Turkish- Awassi ewes were used at ages ranged 1- 4 years, conception period were restricted between 3.50– 4.50 month with a 3 parturition seasons first, second and fourth. Ewes were randomly divided into 3 equal groups of 12 ewes each group included the 3 above mentioned parturition seasons (4 ewes from each season). First group were taken normal streaming water which is considered as a control group, whereas the second and third groups were taken the same above water magnetically treated with 2 intensity 1000 and 2000 gaus, respectively. The amount of milk production was studied. It possible to conclude that using magnetically treated water for pregnant and lactating ewes led to increased amount of milk production. | ||
