Sixteen, lambs weighing 25 kg average initial weight and 4 to 5 months age, were divided into two groups (6 lambs each), to study the effect of two levels (0 and 6g/h/d) of coriander seed powder to support the digestive coefficient, rumen fermentation and some blood parameters. The experiment utilized one diet with concentrate: roughage ratios 70:30 on a dry basis, including a control group (0) and groups received a basal ration 6g/h/d, coriander sativum respectively. The result appeared significantly increased the digestion of dry and organic matter and total protein 67.17, 68.18 and 71.50 respectively, as well decreases ammonia-N and increases acetic proportion in rumen fermentation. On the other hand, no significant differences were noticed in serum total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose and essential oils effects on rumen microbial population, amount of volatile fatty acids. Recent studies have tended to regulate ratio by using plants and medicinal herbs as feed substitutes to avoid a few side effects of antibiotics and other dietary categories and their effect on animal health and performance.
