The basal ration composed of rice straw and concentrate feed mixture was considered as the control diet. The treated group received the basal ration plus 0.1 % AD3E of concentrate feed mixture. The period of growth trial was 150 days. The rations were fed to cover the nutritional requirements of growing sheep which according to NRC (1985). Four rams were randomly chosen from each group in average 48.5 Kg were used in digestibility trials to determine the feeding values and nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus balance for the rations. Blood samples were taken twice weekly to analyses total proteins, albumin, GOT, GPT, calcium, phosphorus. T3 and T4 levels UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2003/AJAR/3803/0/1.pdf ER -
