  • Description: Abstract The fecundity efficacy of ewes depends on reproductive hormones, ovarian activity so the current research was designed to improve the fecundity of Iraqi anestrous ewes by mulberry leaves ( Morus alba ) powder extract supplementation. 30th healthy non-pregnant ewes aged 2-3.5 year outbreeding season were divided into equal three groups, 1st group represent a (control) had fed the standard diet, second and third group represent T1 and T2 supplemented 15 and 30 mg/kg mulberry powder extract, respectively, for 40 day before sponge insertion. At day 28th of beginning supplementation the intra-vaginal sponge were inserted for 12 days. After sponges eliminated, estrous onset reported and blood collected before 20 and after 23 & 40 hrs of VSPR to estimate FSH, LH, progesterone and Estradiol concentration. Also, the fecundity, lambing and prolificacy rates had manifested. The results recorded a significant elevation in FSH, estradiol and LH while progesterone registered significant decreased in T1 &T2 comparing with C at 23 & 40 hr after VSPR. Also the fecundity, lambing rates were significantly higher in T1 &T2 in comparing with C. In concluded, that the mulberry leaves powder extract can augment the fecundity in anestrus Iraqi ewes by enhancing the fecundity profile and prolificacy rate.
