Abstract
This study was conducted in one of the private sector fields in Anbar province - Hit city - Albasaer village (70 km west of the Ramadi city,), for the period from 28/6/2018 to 1/9/2018. Twenty one local female goats aged between 2-4 years and weighing between 24.5 to 36.5 kg were used, Which have previous one birth or more. All female goats were tested using ultrasound to make sure they were not pregnant before the experiment began. Females were randomly divided into three equal groups (7 goats in each group).Vaginal sponges (60 mg MAP) were injected into the three groups at the same time. The first group T1 was injected intramuscularly with the amino acid, arginine (US Nevada manufacturing) in the muscles at 200μmol.kg Five days before the sponge was pulled out until the 17 day after the sponge was pulled out, While the second group T2 was injected with amino acid (arginine) at 160 μmol.kg. Five days before the sponge was pulled until the 17th day after that. The third group T3 control group was injected with 5 ml Normal Saline intramuscularly of the animal. All animals were injected three times daily from the eighth day after the sponge was placed (five days before removing of the sponge) until 17 days after the removing of sponge. Where the total number of injection days was 22 days. Blood samples were taken from the jugular vein before injection of the arginine on day 7 and day 12 of the sponge placed either after the sponge pulled the blood samples were taken on the days 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 13, 18, respectively of the experiment After sponges removing. The objective of the study was to measure changes in the blood, biochemical parameters, during arginine treatment. The results of this study showed asignificant differences. T1 and T2 group were superior compared to control group in blood properties which include pcv in periods 2, 5, the number of white blood cells in periods 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, MID in periods 3, 9 and Lymphocytes in aperiods 4, 5, 6, 9, While the neutrophil cells the period of 3. In terms of biochemical properties, the results showed asignificant differences, between the treatments of T1 and T2 were superior compared to control treatments in the total protein concentration in period 6, and the globulin in period 6. We conclude that the use of different doses of arginine can improve the health status of female goats.

Blood samples were taken from the jugular vein of females before injection of the arginine on day 7 and day (12) of the sponge placed either after the sponge pulled the blood samples were taken on the days [2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 13], respectively of the experiment after sponges removing
Effect of arginine on blood properties: The results of Table 1 showed significant differences in the size of the backed cells (PCV), where T1 group was superior compared to the control group in period [2, 5] and group of T2 was superior compared to control group in period 2, while the other periods showed no significant differences, this superiority may be attributed to the role of arginine in improving the growth and development of body cells by increasing the blood circulation of organs (15), and this leads to healthy indicators have been observed compatibility between the improvement of the reproductive situation with health indicators improving, through the increase of nutrients in the blood
Summary
The food security is one of the main objectives that producers aspire to. The importance of livestock production and other products is to balance actual production and nutritional needs in any country, so there is a real need to develop the productive sector to meet the challenges of increasing demand. The researchers were interested in studying dietary supplements containing amino acids and mineral salts. Arginine is the only important physiological unit for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) and polymer (2). Both are essential for the proper development of animal health and growth (3). There are indications that dietary supplements or injections of the amino acid arginine are effective within the body. It improves reproductive function, cardiovascular function, immunity and tissue integrity (5). (3) concluded that the use of arginine promotes early uterine environment, making it ideal for fetal survival and maintenance of pregnancy, and regulation of food metabolism and immune response (6). In view of the importance of the amino acid arginine in the improvement of immunological properties and chemical properties and the lack of studies in this aspect in Iraq, the study aimed to study the effect of arginine on the some blood and biochemical parameters of local females goat
