Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to determine the impact supplementing powdered Tribulus terrestris (T.T.) seeds on the Red Blood Cells (RBCs) and white blood cells (WBCs) number and hemoglobin (HB), total protein (TP), triglyceride (TG), albumin (ALB) and globulin (GLOB)} levels in the blood, and concentration of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and Testosterone in Awassi lambs. In this study, 32 male Awassi lambs 8-month-old were randomly divided into two groups (each group contains 16 animals). The first group (T1) was given a basal ration plus 3 grams of powdered T.T. seeds per animal per day, while the second group (T2) was given a basal ration only. The period of study was two months. The results revealed that there was a significant effect (P ≤0.05) for (T1) on (T2) in the number of RBCs and HB concentration, also, the results showed that T1greater than T2 in FSH, LH and testosterone concentrations in the blood.
