| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted at sheep flock at Al-rasheida station, Mousl, by using 24 Awassi ewes. They were chosen randomly at same age (3-4 Years) and weights (51.33±1.23 Kg) The ewes were divided into three equal groups after weaning their single lambs, and these groups were fed on one ration for sixty days. The effect of using different level of licorice extract in three treatments (zero , 0.25 and 0.5 g/kg body weight) powdered extract of licorice on milking period were studied on daily and total milk commercial production and chemical composition. The result indicated that daily and total commercial milk production, protein, total solid not fat and weights were no significantly while the percentage of fat, lactose and total solid were increa- sed significantly (P<0.05) by increasing the percentage of licorice extract, while milking periods has significantly (P<0.05) on milk production, fat, lac-tose and total solid | ||
