The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of protexin probiotic at the last month of pregnancy on ewes weight and birth weight of lambs, hematology and blood parameters of Lori Bakhtiyari ewes. For this purpose, 28 multiparous ewes that were pregnant in the last month and day of pregnancy was 120±5 used in a completely randomized design with 2 treatments and 14 replicates for one month. Treatments were: 1- control (ewes that did not take probiotic), 2) Ewes who ingested 1 gram of probiotic daily by mouth. The probiotic used in this study was protexin. The ewes were weighed immediately after calving. In order to determine the effect of the addition of protexin probiotic on hematology and blood parameters, blood sampling was performed immediately after birth. The results showed that adding probiotic in the last month of

Pregnancy had no significant effect on ewes weight and birth weight of lambs. Also hematological parameters including eosinophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, neutrophil, hematocrit and white blood cell concentration were not significantly affected by probiotic supplementation. Among blood parameters, only the concentration of triglycerides increased (P=0.03), and other blood parameters including glucose, albumin, globulin, albumin-to-globulin ratio, total protein, gamma glutamyl transferase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, acute phase proteins, Beta-hydroxy butyric acid, unsaturated fatty acids with multiple double bonds, and blood mineral elements were not significantly affected by the addition of protexin probiotics. Overall, the results showed that the addition of protexin probiotic in the last month of pregnancy did not have a significant effect on weight, hematology and most blood parameters of Lori Bakhtiyari ewes.
