10 مجلة القادسية للعلوم الزراعية المجلد / 5 العدد / السنة 75 The Effect of Photoperiod on Milk Production, Its Components and Some Blood Parameters in Improved Awassi ewes Natik H. AL-Kudsi college of Agriculture / University of Baghdad S. A. Taha N.Y. Aboo M. N. Abdullah Agriculture of Researches / Ministry of Agriculture/Iraq Abstract : This study is carried out to investigate the effect of the light period on milk yield and its components as well as on some blood parameters, in Alrashiedia Animal Farm, Directorate of Agricultural Researches, Ministry of Agriculture on 4 improved Awassi ewes in nd and 3 rd lactation from 0//0 to 9//0. The ewes are randomly divided into 3 groups; st group is 4h:0 h. (light : dark) exposed to light period, the nd h:6 h. of light period, while 3 rd group 6h: h.. All ewes allocated on the same concentrate and roughages ration in addition to 5 kg / hd / day green alfalfa. Milk yield is recorded every 0 days after separation of suckling lambs from their mothers for hours (9 pm to 9 am). Blood sample are taken three time (at the begging, Middle and end of the study) to calculate : total protein, albumin, globulins, cholesterol, and triglyceride. The results show that there is no significant effect of light period on milk production, the total amount of milk through the recorded periods for the three group are 065.0,0.0 and 96.7gm/hd.There is no significant effect on the milk component. The blood parameters are not affected by the light :dark change. It can be concluded that the change in the light :dark period does not alter milk yield and some blood parameters in this study. Keywords: Improved Awassi Sheep, Photoperiod, Milk Production 4
