Arbequina. The experiment consists of twenty-seven treatments (three levels of soil application of chicken manure 0,5, 10 kg tree -1 , foliar application of three conc. of seaweed extract (Sea force) 0,10,20 ml L -1 and soil application of three levels of mineral fertilizer Blaukorn NPK (12:12:16) at level (0, 150, and 200g tree -1 ), mineral fertilizer was applied three times per season: First: at vegetative growth stage. Second: at full bloom. Third: after setting of fruits. Results indicate that soil application of chicken manure, especially at 10 kg tree -1 , and foliar spraying of Sea force at 20 ml L -1 significantly increased all studied characters (average leaf area, total chlorophyll content, number of flowers/inflorescences, fruit set %, fruit length, fruit width, fruit weight, total yield per tree, fruit total soluble solids (TSS%), Percentage of oil). Soil application of Blaukorn, especially at 200 g tree-1, significantly increased (average leaf area, fruits length, width and weight, and TSS). The binary and triple interactions of the study treatments on all the traits under investigation also showed a significant increase, particularly for the high levels of the study factors.","PeriodicalId":18465,"journal":{"name":"Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture","volume":"67 S6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140407395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the current experiment, twenty-seven local growing Awassi lambs with live weight 25.92 kg± SD=4.29, and aged 8 months ±SD=1.1, were allocated randomly in single pens (1.50 x 1.30 m) by live weight in indoor hall to one of three experimental treatments during July (hot season). Zinc was added to drinking water in three different levels, 0 ml/day (0 mg Zn), 3 ml/ day (36 mg Zn) and 6 ml/day (72 mg) as treatments one (T1), two (T2) and three (T3) respectively. The animals were adapted to the experimental treatments for 3 weeks, followed by 5 days of feed and fecal samples collection for further laboratory proximate analysis to determine the digestibility coefficient of nutrients. At day three of sample collection, blood samples were collected by jugular venipuncture at 11 a.m. for blood minerals and biochemical determination. The results showed that Zn supplementation increased (P<0.001) blood serum Zn concentration. In addition, Zn supplementation decreased both blood serum albumin (P=0.001) and glucose (P=0.010) in T3, whereas serum ALP concentration increased (P=0.042) in T3. Zinc supplementation effectively improved nutrient digestibility coefficient, increased NDF (P=0.004) and ADF (P=0.020) digestibility, and tended to increase DM digestibility. The above results indicate that Zn supplementation may have a role in decreasing the negative effect of heat stress.","PeriodicalId":18465,"journal":{"name":"Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture","volume":"4 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140401664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
