This study was carried out at the laboratory of artificial insemination and embryo transfer in Ezra station Belongs to ACSAD during 2009 to estimate the efficiency of local diluents (sodium citrate with egg yolk, EYC and skimmed milk, SM)in comparison to Andromed® as a standard diluent for short and long -term preservation period of semen in Awassi rams. Four rams, two years old with live body weight 75± 3 Kg, were used. Semen was collected by artificial insemination twice/ per day per week for 4 months during the breeding season. Progressive motility and live – dead sperms were evaluated at each step of semen handling. Results showed that there was a significant effect (p<0.05) for the ram on ejaculate volume (1.8-2.46 ml) and sperm concentration (2.4-3.8 X 109/ml) and more significant effect (p< 0.01) for the diluents on studied traits after each step of semen handling. The highest final survival rate of viability (65.1%) was shown in semen diluted with Andromed® compared with 51.3% in EYC and 22.3% in SM and the total rates of dead sperms were 41.9, 56.9. 78.9% in the standard, EYC and in SM, respectively. It was concluded that local diluents can be used for extending and using Awassi semen as a fresh diluted semen for a short time preservation using SM and as a frozen and preserved semen for a long time with EYC in artificial insemination programs and it was suggested that EYC with glycerol can be replaced for Andromed® if sperm concentrate is increased by 10-15% at dilution.

This Study was carried-out at Shami Goat Improvement Station in Karahta. Ten growing Shami male goats, aged 8 months, housed and managed under the same conditions were used to study the semen characteristics. Artificial vagina was used to collect semen at weekly intervals, for 13 months to determine the volume, motility, pH, and sperm concentration using Neubaure- Spectrophotometer and Spermiodensimeter techniques. Overall averages and standard errors of volume, motility, concentration, and pH were 0.9 ± 0.07 ml, 65.24 ± 1.41%, 3.57 ± 0.14 billion/ml, and 6.52 ± 0.07, respectively. Seasonal variations were observed. A positive significant correlation between volume and motility (r= 0.42, P<0.01) was found, while negative correlations (P<0.01) between pH and other studied semen characteristics were recorded. Linear equations for detecting sperm concentration as measured by either, Spermiodensimeter or Spectrophotometer were obtained.
Thirty weaned Awassi lambs (٧٥ days old), reared in the metabolic unit at the College of Agriculture, University of Damascus, were randomly divided into ٥ groups to study the effect of consumed crude protein level available in the rations on the daily gain rate, live body weight and the food converting rate.
This research was done as a collaboration work between Tishreen University and the General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research in Karahta research station for improvement of Shami goats and Der Al-Hajar station to set tables for normal values of some blood and chemical parameters in Awassi sheep during pregnancy to predict any nutrition or health disorders. Forty seven Awassi ewes in the same age (in the third season) were used for that purpose. Blood sample were collected from all ewes every month of the pregnancy period. Thealanine aminotransferase (ALT),the aspartate aminotransferase (AST), the alkaline phosphatase (ALP), the glucose (Glu) were analyzed. Results indicated the existence of significant changes (P<0.05) between the increase and decrease in all indicators studied throughout The study period, which shows the change in functional status of liver in conjunction with stage of pregnancy.The overall average of the effectiveness of enzymes (2.05-26.47), (32.65-181.40) and (11.17-79.76) U/l for each of the ALP, ALT and AST, respectively, and total concentration of glucose (37,50-95.20 mg/dl) throughout the study period.
The aim of this investigation is to preserve fresh Awassi lamb meat at different storage conditions. The Awassi lamb from the thigh part of fresh meat was stored in Vacuuming Polyethylene Packaged with 100% CO2, 100% N2 and 100% vacuuming and at temperature +3 ºC and +7 ºC. The study showed that the meat can be stored at temperature +3ºC between 20 -30 days for the CO2 and vacuuming, and between 10-20 days for the N2 . The study also indicated that the meat can be stored at temperature +7 ºC between 10-20 days for CO2, and for 10 days under N2, and up to 10 days for the vacuuming without altering the organoleptic properties.
