Effect of Drink Magnetic Water on Some Quantity Characteristics of Awassi Lambs Carcasses

The study aimed to investigate of the effect of magnetic water on characteristics the live weight , empty body weight, hot and chilled carcasses weights and dressing percentage of Awassi Lambs. These experiments were executed at livestock field, department of animal resources, college of  agriculture, university of Kirkuk during the period from 15 / 12 / 2013 to 15 /3 / 2014. Twelve of  the weaned  Lambs at  age of 140 days  and average  body weight of (30.74 ± 0.97) kg.  Lambs were randomly divided in to three groups: the first group offered  received normal water and used as a control group, the second and third groups were offered  magnetic water with 1000 and 2000 gauss intensities, respectively. the experiment continued for 90 days. Results showed to the drink  magnetic water had related  significant effect (p < 0.05) on studied characters, The effect was of treatment with the level of water strongly magnetized 2000 Gauss with significantly superiority (p < 0.05), the live weight, empty body weight, hot and chilled carcass weights and dressing percentage, Calculated in different ways and also the proportion of loss of moisture, but the differences were not significant (p≥ 0.05), than those of other treatments. It be concluded that using magnetic water led to improve of some quantity characteristics of Awassi Lamb carcasses.
