This study was conducted on 18 male and female sheep (aged over one year) in two lines of Karadi sheep Jeshana and Jaff in Sulaimaniyah province. Blood samples were collected from each animal and allowed to clot for 45 to 60 min, then centrifuged at 3000 × g for 10 min to separate the serum. The serum sample was frozen at (-40) degrees and was monitored for 18 months. Serum sample analyzed after (18 months) of storage. Our result showed that repeated freeze-thaw cycling has significant and relevant increases of serum T4 (Thyroxine hormone) in both male and female groups without affecting T3 (Triiodothyronine hormone). Na+ and Cl-in both male and female groups showed a significant difference compared to the control group while the remaining electrolytes K+ and Ca+ didn't show any relevant changes. This study has demonstrated that repeated freeze-thaw cycles do not cause changes in some biochemical constituents studied in sheep serum.

However, the excessive use of manure can cause environmental problems and negatively affect human and animal health because these materials also contain large amounts of heavy metals, especially selenium (Se), nickel(Ni), cobalt(Co), tin(Sn), lead(Pb), and cadmium(Cd) To assess the potential risks due to increased concentrations of heavy metals in sheep and cow manure.The compost was collected from three different regions in Kirkuk, Diyala and Sulaymaniyah governorates in Iraq and Kurdistan Region where the results showed The content of cow and sheep manure of organic matter (OM), carbohydrates (CHO) and nitrogen (N) levels were normal, which are beneficial nutrients for soil and plants and used as organic fertilizer. The level of selenium, nickel and cobalt was higher in cow manure compared to sheep manure in all governorates. ...

Selenium, Zinc and their combinationsignificantly contributed to changes in the analysed miner...

The Lambs were divided randomly into three groups (4 lambs for each group). first group: control group (C) basal diet without Selenium or Zinc, second group-(T1): Selenium (sodium selenite) was added as 0.5 mg / kg of fed, and Third group-(T2): Zinc (zinc sulphate) was added as 100 mg/kg of fed. Selenium and Zinc were as given capsules daily for 90 days. Blood samples were taken from the lambs on the 90 days. The results showed no significant differences (P≥0.05) of the Complete Blood Count (WBC, Mono, Neut, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW-CV and RDW-SD) except Lymphocytes, had significantly different (P≤0.05) between the that added Se and Zn coefficients and the control group, there were no significant differences (P≥ 0.05) in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) between the supplementation and the control groups, the differences were significant (P≤ 0.05) in the level of Testosterone Hormone and Globulin between the supplementation and the control groups. There was no relationship between Complete Blood Count and Testosterone, Globulin, ALP and GGT. The results showed that the supplements selenium or zinc improved significantly of Testosterone hormone and Globulin in Blood Serum of Kurdi Male lambs.

Sixteen Karadi male lambs weighing 23.29 ± 0.42 kg and 4.5-5 months old randomly divided into equally four treatment groups and individually penned for the period of 63 days. Results indicated that final body weight was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in lambs fed 1% or 2% pomegranate peel (PP) as compared to lambs fed 4% PP. The best improvements in total feed intake, total gain, average daily gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in lambs fed 1% PP. The total dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), ash, nitrogen free extract (NFE) and metabolizable energy (ME) intake per (body weight 0.75 ) increased (P < 0.05) significantly in lambs fed 1% pomegran...

In this study, sixteen (16) of Karadi male lambs used with 24.30 ± 0.40 kg weight and with 4-5 months old, all lambs have been randomly divided equally into four (4) groups and individually penned in a box for during 63 days. Results in our study showed that SC was significantly different and recorded higher 17.875±0.54 cm in group that fed on 1% PP, also SH recorded higher and significant different in group fed on 1% PP compared with other groups 10.000±0.32 cm. Average blood serum testosterone reduces in all groups compared to control group that fed on 0% of PP (11.418±0.15 n.mol/L). Final body weight in our study had significantly different (P < 0.05) between groups, 1% PP recorded higher weight (34.9 ± 0.58) kg. Each average daily gain, total body gain and initial body weight had not significant different in all groups. Correlation coefficient between SC, SH, blood serum testosterone concentration and final BW computed and ranged between (-0.397 to + 0.914).

While, the dry matter digestibility (DMD), crude protein digestibility (CPD), crude fiber digestibility (CFD) and nitrogen free extract digestibility (NFED) were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in lambs fed 1% PP as compared to T2, T3 and control groups. In addition, EED increased significantly in T3 compared to other treatments. In conclusion, it was indicated that addition of pomegranate peel in diet at the rate of 1% or 2% had significant effect on Karadi lambs performance and digestibility.

The serum biochemical parameters measured in the study included total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), triglycerides, total protein (TP), serum albumin, serum globulin, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities. Results revealed that some serum biochemical values were within the reference range. However, higher concentration of LDL, VLDL, triglycerides, serum albumin, serum globulin and ALT activity in Karadi sheep were detected than those published earlier. However, lower concentration of T...
