This study was conducted to enhance the sheep owners (producers) skills related to the influence of feed blocks on milk yield and lambs weight of Iraqi Awassi sheep and increasing their demandsfor consumers.

This study was carried out in four Iraqi governorates using thirty two Awassi ewes that equally divided into four governorates (8 ewes/ governorate).

Four of these ewes were fed on feed in addition to their routine ration of barley grains and green forage available.
