This study was carried out in the sheep field of the Department of Animal Production / College of Agriculture - Tikrit University for a period from 25/10/2021 to 2/1/2022 (70 days), preceded by a 14-day preliminary period to acclimatize the lamb to concentrated feed. In the sixteenth month, Awassi lambs aged 4-5 months were used from local trade, the initial weight was adjusted (25.350 ± 2.25) kg, the experiment was divided into two periods (0-35 days, 36-70 days) respectively . Study The results of this study are as follows: There are significant differences in efficiency for the second, third fourth and treatments (P≤0.05) on the first treatment. food conversion. It was in those qualities. Adding a mixture of (Cr-Met and Zn-Met) led to a significant (P≤0.05) increase in insulin concentration over the rest of the treatments, while the first treatment recorded a significant (P≤0.05) increase in cortisol concentration in lambs’ blood over the rest of the treatments. Significantly (P≤0.05) the two treatments (T2 and T3) over the rest of the treatments in the concentration of thyroxine (TSH), and the addition of Cr-Met recorded a significant increase (P≤0.05) over the rest of the treatments in the concentration of thyroxine (T4). It was noticed a significant decrease (P≤0.05) in the treatments (T2, T3, T4) compared to the control treatment (T1) in the concentration of threonine (T3). The length of the treatment period and the interaction between the periods and the treatments had a significant effect on these characteristics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
