    Abstract This experiment was conducted at Beit Quad Experimental Station – Beit Quad-Jenin district, during the period from February to July, 2006, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding two levels of (Atriplex spp.) (leaves and stems) on some parameters of breeding Awassi sheep, due to high prices of feed , low sheep productivity , decrease in Rangeland areas and low rangeland productivity. This was an attempt to reduce feed costs as possible. A total of 27 ewes at age of (5 ± 2) and body weight of (82.6 ± 1.97) were taken and utilized in the study and were randomly divided into three groups with 9 ewes in each. Ewes in the control group were fed 3 kg of a commercial concentrate and 3 kg of barley hay. Ewes in second group were fed 3 kg concentrate plus 1.5 kg barely hay and 1.5 kg Atriplex. For the third experimental group, barely hay was replaced totally by Atriplex leaves and fed same amount of the commercial concentrate. Data were analyzed for ANOVA utilizing SPSS statistical packages Results showed that feeding atriplex has variable effect on parameters measured. Feeding atriplex increased (p < 0.05) dry matter intake (DMI) in ewes consumed atriplex in their diets during various physiological stages (late gestation, suckling and after weaning) Atriplex in diets increased milk protein (p < 0.05) content, lambs weaning weight and daily weight gain. However , incorporation of atriplex in ewes ration had no effect on final ewes weight , change in ewes weight ( initial vs. final weight ) , milk yield , milk fat , milk total solids , and lambs birth weight. The study showed the potentional importance of using atriplex as roughage in small ruminant's rations. It was estimated that about 0.034 $, can be saved per head per day through using atriplex as shown by this experiment. Lack of any kind of health hazards to ewes and lamb, adds to the advantage of this roughage, however more research is needed in this area to confirm these result

    The objectives of this study were to investigate the view point of extension agents about the degree of achievement of fulfillment the objectives and tasks of extension by extension agents. Also to investigate the sheep and goats extension agents' viewpoint on several aspects related to extension such as performance of extension agents and problems facing the animal extension sector and the relation between extension agents and the other factors such as gender, education, residence, age, experience in service and training. As well-constructed questionnaire was employed in the study. All of extension agents in the field of sheep and goats were interviewed. The study showed the low performance of extension agents as low percent of them had previous training in the field. The study showed a strong relation between degree of achievements and extension agents performance. Similar relation was observed between the low performance of extension agents and the obstacles facing the extension sectors. Gender has no effect on performance of extension agents. Similar trend was observed in the relation between performance and ages, experience and previous training. Several recommendations were given by the study, among these; more research is needed in relation to improve performance of agricultural agents. The study showed that training should be made to fit needs for the extension agents. Number of extension agents in the field of sheep and goats should be maximized as possible.
