Popis: Twenty Iraqi ewes aged between 2-3 years were used in the current study. All animals were raised in an animal field in the Fallujah city/Saqlawiyah area during the period from August 2022 to February 2023. The animals were divided randomly into 4 equal groups. They were fed naturally on one diet. The control group (T1) received no additional treatment, the second group (T2) was given an hCG-COX 100 I.U./ewe injection (after sponge removal), the third group (T3) was given 10 mg of biotin per ewe daily (for 30 days), and the fourth group (T4) was given 10 mg of biotin per ewe daily (for 30 days) along with an hCG-COX 100 I.U./ewe injection (after sponge removal). Blood samples for estradiol-17β and progesterone measurement were collected on days 0, 18, 48, 79, and 110, and for PAPPB on days 48 and 79 after mating.The results showed a significant increase in the estradiol-17β hormone (P
