This study has conducted to find out the effect of using an aqueous extract of basil seeds, vitamin c, and selenium in some blood parameters of Iraqi Awassi sheep.

twenty Awasi sheep aged between 9-10 months, with an average weight of between 25.7-27.9 kg, were used in this study.

an experiment has distributed into five groups, and each group included four ewes of homogeneous weights, with four repetitions in each group, then the ewes were randomly divided into totals in the following form : T1 first treatment control ewes were dosed with distilled water only, T2 second treatment was dosing with vitamin c at a concentration (250 mg / kg / day), t3 third treatment was dosing with selenium at a concentration (0.04 mg / kg / day), T4 fourth treatment was dosing with basil seed aqueous extract at a concentration (50 mg / kg / day), T5 fifth treatment was dosed with basil seed aqueous extract, vitamin c and selenium and at the above doses in the second, third and fourth groups, respectively.

the results of the statistical analysis of the fourth and fifth groups showed a significant superiority (p ≤ 0.05) in the total RBC, WBC and platelets counts, hemoglobin, and packed cells volume (PCV) compared with the second, third, fourth and total periods of the experiment.

the vitamin c and selenium groups also significantly outperformed (p ≤ 0.05) in blood characteristics compared to the first treatment in total RBC, WBC and platelets counts, hemoglobin, and packed cells volume (PCV) from the second period of the experiment to the end.
