N2  - Thirty does at the late stage of pregnancy were used in this study, aged 3-5 years and housed under the same environmental conditions in the same locality (Cairo alexandria desert area). All does were given antiparasitic treatment for external and internal parasites. The does were divided into 3 groups, group 1 (N=10) used as a control group, group 2 (N=10) supplemented with monensin extract as a premix in a dose of 2.72 mg/head/day for 15 successive days. Group 3 (N=10) were drenched with propylene glycol in a dose of 100 ml/head/day for 15 successive days. The treatment was done at the beginning of 4th month of pregnancy. Serum samples were analysed from all treated and control groups for blood level of glucose, urea, calcium, triglyceride, total cholesterol, inorganic phosphorous, BHB, NEFA, insulin, liver enzymes and thyroid hormones. Present results revealed that elevation of serum calcium, cholesterol, insulin, glucose, BHB and NEFA in propylene treated group while liver enzymes, total triglycerides and thyroid hormones was decreased followed by monensin treated group in the same manner
