This study was achieved in a special farm in Basaer village which lies on the right side of the Euphrates in Heet district l Anbar, Heet lies 70 K.M west Ramadi during the pesiod, From 17/4/2018 to 30/5/2018. 28 ewes aged 2-4 years of awassi with average weight 40-50 k.g. and a one lambing. All ewes were diagnosed by using the real-time Ultrasonography to make sure there is no pregnancy among the female before the experiment. All ewes were synchronized with intravaginal sponges impregnated with 60 mg MAP for 12 days before sponges withdrawal and eCG 500 IU (Novormon made in Argentina). The pregnant ewes were divided randomly and equally (7 each group) Into 4 groups The ewes in the first group were received an intramuscular injection of 160 Mµ of arginine 3 times daily. The second group were treated with 2ml/head a combination of selenium plus vitamin E (vitamin E 68mg/ml Selenium 1.5mg/ml). The third group was treated by injection of 160 Mµ of arginine and selenium with vitamin E 2 ml/head. The four groups were injected with normal saline which was considered as a control group. The ewes were inseminated by ram at the end of the hormonal program for five days. The samples of blood were taken from the Jugular vein at four-day treatment Also, In the 4, 10, 15, 18. The results of the experiment showed no significant deferent in WBC, Progesterone estrogen, growth hormone, prolactin, early of pregnancy in the treatment with the control group. The experiment showed a significant difference in the Progesterone concentration within a single treatment in three treatment without control. concluded from this study that use of arginine and selenium with vitamin E improves ewes health, increasing the progesterone to maintain pregnancy.

“…This might be attributed to the activity of arginine through the increasing of blood flow to the genital organs, including ovaries and thus increasing the growth, development and promotion estrogen's level which has a role in the appearance of estrus's signs. This result agreed with Al-Dabbas (17) who showed where the level of estrogen in the arginine treated group. The delay in the onset of estrus behavior can be ascribed to the stress resulted from high temperature, which leads to the loss of appetite in the animal and thus reflects on the growth and development of follicles and the level of sex hormones (18).…”

“…But in intramuscular injection group, the highest level of estrogen concentration was at the period 6 th where it was (17.10 ±1.51 pg/ml). These results agreed with Al-Dabbas (17) who indicated that the level of estrogen was constantly variable but there was a clear increasing trend in the level of estrogen in the arginine group as compared with the control group. This was coincided with an increase in the rate of ovulation and levels of progesterone (P<0.01) compared with the control group which may be attributed to the pregnancy while the disparity in the secretion of estrogen may be ascribed to the follicular growth and developing before reaching full maturity (32).…”

The objective of the current study was to determine the effect of injected amino acid arginine on reproductive performance in ewes and on the levels of some hormones. Twenty-one non pregnant Awassi Turkish ewes were used. These ewes were divided into three equal groups. The first group were not treated which serve as control group (T1), and injected with 5-10 ml of normal saline in intramuscular. Ewes of second group (T2) were treated by injected with a 155µmol/kg arginine I.V. The third group (T3) was treated by injected with 155µmol/kg arginine intramuscular. All treated ewes were inseminated by rams for 7 days. Blood samples were taken from jugular vein on the 1st and 2nd days of arginine injection and then insert CIDR and on the 3 rd , 5 th , 7 th , 10 th ,13 th , and 16 th days of this treatment to measure the change in the levels of some hormones during treatment. The results showed arithmetic difference in the time of the estrus where the treatment of intramuscular arginine injection came first and it was followed by intravenous arginine injection and then the control. Arginine treated groups significantly the control group in the estrus appearance rate. The estrus appearance estrus rate in intravenous injection group, intramuscular injection group and control group were 71.43, 57.14, and 42.85% respectively, also there is significant increase in fertility rates were 71.43, 57.14 and 42.85% respectively. There was a significant increase in pregnancy rates were 71.43, 57.14 and 28.85% respectively. However, birth rates were 71.43, 57.14 and 28.57% respectively. Intravenous treatment showed the lowest than other treatments. The results of current research revealed no significant difference between groups in the level of progesterone hormone, furthermore there is no significant change in the hormone during all periods of the experiment except the 7 th period in IV arginine treated group. It was also observed a significant decrease in the estrogen concentration level in arginine intravenous (14.62 ±1.02) and intramuscular (15.00 ±1.98) injected groups in compared with control group (16.82 ±1.25) respectively during the first and 7 th periods of injection after the insert of CIDR as compared with the other periods. There were no significant differences in the level of cortisol between the treated groups and the control group, and also between all periods of the experiment. It was concluded from this study that injection of amino acid arginine improved the reproductive performance of Awassi Turkish ewes, taking into consideration the superiority of intravenous injector as compared with intramuscular injection which gave higher rates of estrus, fertilization, fertility, pregnancy and birth and gave the lowest proportion of barrenness as compared with control group. However, arginine had no significant effects on the level of estrogen, progesterone and cortisol.

Aim of this study was to investigate performance and puberty of ram lambs produced from pregnant ewes treated with different levels of arginine. This study was carried out at Sakha Animal Production Research Station, belonging to the Animal Production Research Institute in a cooperation with Animal Production Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura University. During November 2016, total of 45 Ossimi ewes (September mating season), 3-4 years of age and 39.59±0.15 kg live body weight (LBW) were divided into three groups (15 head/each). Ewes in the 1 st group (G1) served as a control, ewes in the 2 nd (G2) and 3 rd (G3) groups were weekly treated with oral dose of 20 and 30 mg arginine (AR), respectively, for the duration of the treatment from the second month of pregnancy up to lambing. After lambing, total of 8 ram lambs produced from each group were taken and allotted in three groups similar to treatment of their dams. LBW of ram lambs was recorded at birth and monthly up to 12 month of age. In blood plasma of ram lambs, concentration of IgG and IgM at 2 days and 1, 3 and 4 wk of age, while concentration of total proteins, albumin, creatinine and glucose, and activity of aspartate (AST) and alanine (ALT) aminotransferase at 2, 4, 6 and 8 month of age were determined. Age and plasma testosterone concentration (PTC) of each ram lambs were determined at three pubertal stages, while semen of 1 st ejaculates (at puberty) was evaluated. Results showed that ram lamb LBW was higher (P<0.05) only in G3 than G1 at birth and at 5 to 12 month of age. Final ram lamb LBW at 12 month of age was higher by 10.2 and 15.9% in G2 and G3 than in G1, respectively. Plasma concentration of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) after 2 days, 1, 3, and 4 wk of lambing was highest (P<0.05) in G3, followed by G2, while, G1 showed the lowest values. Plasma concentration of total proteins at 4 month of age and of albumin at 4 and 6 month of age increased (P<0.05), while glucose decreased (P<0.05) at 2 and 8 month of age in G2 and G3 as compared to those of G1. Creatinine increased (P<0.05) only in G3 as compared to G2 and G1 at 6 and 8 month of age, while activity of AST and ALT was not affected at all ages. At puberty, age of ram lambs was earlier (P<0.05) by 51.4 and 33.0 days and PTC was higher (P<0.05) by 22.5 and 18.8% in G2 and G3 than in G1. Ram lambs in G3 showed the best (P<0.05) semen characteristics of the 1 st ejaculation (volume, sperm motility and live sperm output / ejaculate), followed by G2. PTC was higher (P<0.05) in G2 and G3 than in G1 at 6 and 8 month of age, showing significantly (P<0.05) an opposite trend at 7 month of age, while insignificantly different at 5, 9 and 10 month of age. In conclusion, ram lambs of ewes treated with weekly oral dose of L-arginine-HCL (30 mg / ewe) from the second month of pregnancy up to lambing achieved early age and higher weight at puberty.
