The experiment included 50 Awassi ewes aged 2.5 - 6 years to investigate the relationship between some blood parameters and biochemical concentrations with milk yield and its composition during suckling period. Three blood samples were withdrawn (1st sample after birth by 15 days and the others after a month subsequently). Each blood sample divided in two parts, the 1st (whole blood) used to calculate some blood parameters (Packed cell volume PCV and Hemoglobin concentration Hb), the 2nd part is used to obtain a blood serum to determine some blood biochemical concentration (glucose, cholesterol, total protein and albumen) and some ion concentration (Potassium and Sodium). Daily milk yield (DMY) were calculated by ewes hand milking biweekly. The obtained results of this study could be summarized as follow: Milk fat percentage have significant positive correlation with blood potassium level in the 1stmonth and significant negative correlation with blood cholesterol concentration in the 2nd month of lactation period. There were also significantly positive correlation between milk protein percentage and blood cholesterol concentration in the 1st month and between milk protein percentage with blood albumin, sodium and potassium for the 3rd month. Solid not fats percentage showed significantly negative correlation with blood potassium, significantly positive correlation with blood cholesterol concentration in 1st month, while its correlation with PCV, Hb, blood cholesterol and sodium ions concentrations were significantly positive in 3rdmonth of milk production.https://kujas.uokirkuk.edu.iq/article_177866_9f860e1f7305f249b15c822d55dcfed2.pdfCollege of Agriculture / University of Kirkuk - Kirkuk - IRAQKirkuk University Journal For Agricultural Sciences2221-048210120190301Study of the relationship between some blood parameters and growth traits of Awassi lambs142017786710.58928/ku19.10103ENShahla FatholaHassanUniversity of Kirkuk - Collage of AgricultureAyhan K.MohammedUniversity of Kirkuk - Collage of AgricultureJournal Article20171214The study was aimed to investigate the effect of RBC K type, PCV, Hb, Na, GSH, AST, ALT and CK concentrations on lambs weights (birth, 2 weeks, 1 months, 1.5 months, 2 months wt, 2.5 months, weaning and weights at 4, 5, 6 and 7 months of age) on 29 male and 21 female Awassi lambs and growth rates during these periods.

The experiment carried out in field in Nineveh province in Gleolkhan location which is moderate rainfall area. it is about 15 miles far from the Mosul city. The field experiment included two factors: the first was two cultivars of barley (two rows and six-rows) and the second was row spacing (conventional planting after tillage with row spacing 15 cm., zero tillage planting system with two row spacing 15 cm and 30 cm. and finally zero tillage cross planting 30 cm x 30 cm). Split plot design were applied in randomize complete block design with three replicates. The effects of the above two factors and its interactions on growth. yield and its components for two cultivars of barley was studied and the results were as follows: Adroh cultivar achieved highest significant value in the traits (number of tillers / m 2 and number of spikes / m 2). Mutaa cultivar achieved a higher significant values in the traits (number of grains per spike and the percentage of protein in grain) and there was no significant difference between the two cultivars weed dry weight / m2. flag leaf area cm2, plant height cm, biological weight, weight of grain yield, straw yield, 1000-grain weight and harvest index. Cross planting 30 x30 cm achieved highest significant values in (flag leaf area. the number of tillers/m2, number of spikes/m2, biological weight, weight of grain and straw yield. the difference was not significant with conventional tillage, whereas there was no significant difference between all second factor levels in the traits of plant height, number of grains in spike. 1000-grain weight and harvest index. The interaction between Mutaa and Adroh cultivars with zero tillage cross planting 30 x30 cm method gave highest grain yield gm/m2.https://kujas.uokirkuk.edu.iq/article_177879_24fbb7490bfcd0373f54d808d900761d.pdfCollege of Agriculture / University of Kirkuk - Kirkuk - IRAQKirkuk University Journal For Agricultural Sciences2221-048210120190301Study The Effect Of Using Phosphate Fertilizer, Soak Seeds In Boron And Harvest Dates To Improving The Characters Of Two Varieties Of Local Mung Bean (Vigna Radita L.)13715317788010.58928/ku19.10117ENMothanah A.

The trees were planted at 4×4 meters apart under rain-fed condition. The investigation was conducted in order to study the changes occurred in some physical characteristics as well as oil content during growth and development of olive fruits. Results proved that fruit of the two cultivars showed a growth pattern cycle: Growth was rapid during the first growth stage (7-9 weeks), slow in the second stage (5-7 weeks) while the third stage was also one of rapid growth which coincided with the change in fruit skin color. The increment in fruit size prior to fruit development came mainly from the increase in cell numbers and cell enlargement in addition to embryo growth. Oil started to accumulate in the fruit during July and increased gradually during August and reached maximum as soon as the fruit turned completely black.https://kujas.uokirkuk.edu.iq/article_177883_f48689bef1452957d01abc98e326bc03.pdf
