Description
Summary:The study was conducted on 21 pregnant Meriz Does investigate the effect of injection Vit E and Sodium Selenite during pregnancy and suckling stage on their kids , Milk yield and it's constituents. The animals were divided into three treatments (7 heads / treatment) ,control treatment was injected weekly subcutaneous with 1ml of normal saline, the second treatment was injected weekly with(2mg ofVit E and 40 µg Sodium Selenite) /Kg of body weight , the third treatment was injected weekly with (4mg of Vit E and 80 µg Sodium Selenite) / Kg of body weight. The results revealed that treating with Vit E and Sodium Selenite led to a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in does bodyweights during the1<sup>st</sup> , 2<sup>nd</sup>and3<sup>rd</sup> month of suckling in the (2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup>) treatment compared with control, and a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in the Kid's weight at birth in the in 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> groups compared with control group during (2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup>) month of lactation , as well as , a significant increase of Kids body weight in the 3<sup>rd</sup> group during 1<sup>st</sup> month of lactation compared with other treatments. and in regard to the milk production and constituents , treatments with vitamin E and Sodium Selenite in 3<sup>rd</sup> group causes a significant increase in daily milk yield along Lactation period as compared with control group , also a significant increase in milk fat quantity on the 2<sup>nd</sup> and 12<sup>th</sup> week in 3<sup>rd</sup> group and a significant increase in milk protein quantity in 3<sup>rd</sup> group along the lactation except the 4<sup>th</sup> week m and a significant decrease in milk lactose quantity on 6<sup>th</sup> , 8<sup>th</sup> , 10<sup>th</sup> and 12<sup>th</sup> week of lactation.
