Twenty<br />Awassi sheep aged 11-12 months with an average weight of 48.50 kg were used in this study.<br />The ewes of the experiment were divided into five transactions. The duration of the study (70<br />days). The animals were randomly distributed into five equal groups with four repetitions in each<br />group as follows: the first control treatment dosed the ewes with distilled water only, T2 the<br />second treatment was dosed with fenugreek seed aqueous extract at a concentration of (25 mg/<br />ml/ kg), T3 the third treatment was dosed with fenugreek seed aqueous extract at a concentration<br />of (50 mg/ ml/ kg), T4 the fourth treatment was dosed with olive leaf aqueous extract at a<br />concentration of 25 mg/ ml/kg. T5, the fifth treatment, was dosed with an aqueous extract of<br />olive leaves at a concentration of (50 mg/ml /kg). The statistical analysis showed that the results<br />of productive qualities showed a significant improvement (P≤0.05) in the treatment of fenugreek<br />50 mg/ mL/ kg compared to the control group throughout the experiment. As for the treatment of<br />aqueous extract of olive leaves (50 mg/ml /kg), represented by group T5, a significant decrease<br />in their rates was recorded in the fourth week and the total period of the experiment. As for the<br />the T2 and T3 coefficients recorded a significant decrease (p≤0.05) ،food conversion coefficient<br />in the third and fourth weeks compared to the control group.<br />, transaction T3 recorded a significant increase (P≤0.05) ، As for the average significant increase<br />, and a significant decrease was observed for olive ،in the second week and the total period<br />transactions T4 and T5 for the same period mentioned above. Also, all the coefficients of the<br />experiment recorded a significant decrease (P≤0.05) combined, and for the experiment, a<br />significant decrease is observed for the olive coefficients T5 compared to the coefficients T2, T3<br />and T4 https://kujas.uokirkuk.edu.iq/article_177468_19352bcd4bafba8ce86fb0f59cd698d8.pdf
