Abstract
The objective of the study was to know biological effect for the Sumac powder in the diets of Awassi lambs. A total of 24 Awassi lambs (12 male and 12 female) were used (age 3-4 months) (16.5±1.5g male and 20±2.5 g female) and divided to four groups (6 animals / 3 replicated). The experimental animals were fed into four individually in case (2.5*1.5 cm). Group 1 were fed on a diet without adding 0 % (control); groups 2, 3 and 4 were fed 1, 3 and 5% sumac powder. The results showed indicate that adding Sumac powder to the feed significant differences between the groups in both AST and ALT. There were not significant between the groups in creatinine, urea, total protein, albumin, and globulin levels in the blood serum of the animals compared to the control group. Our results suggested that the sumac could be used in the animal food without any effect on their health.
