This study was conducted at the farm of Ruminants Research Station / Office of Agricultural Research / Ministry of Agriculture / in Abu Ghraib – Baghdad. The experiment was continued for 63 days in addition to the adaptation period for 14 days from 11/10/2015 until 13/12/2016 to study the effect of the treatment of barley straw with fungi (Trichoderma harzianum) in some productive characteristics. Six Awassi lambs were used in this experiment with average initial weight of 38 ± 0.50 kg and aged 8-9 months. Lambs were divided randomly into two equal groups, and then put with individual pens. Lambs were fed individually on a unified concentrate diet (2.5% of body weight). While, the roughages offered on ad libitium basis. Each group were fed on roughages (barley straw), as follows: 1. The First group was a control group fed on untreated barley straw. 2. The second group was fed on barley straw treated with Trichoderma harzianum at rate 0.1% (1 kg /tones). The animals were weighted every two weeks before the morning feeding. The digestibility experiment was performed in the seventh week. The rumen liquor was collected at fifth week from experiment from at three periods (before feeding, after three and six hours from feeding). An analysis of the statistical data using the program of statistical analysis (SAS) and the experience was the use of (CRD). The results showed that different effects among treatments as follow: The fungi was not significantly effected on the feed intake, digestibility, and rumen characteristics. (pH and NH3-N), While found a significant decrease (P <0.05) in the hemicelluloses content with Trichoderma fungi treatment compared with control (5.09 and 7.37, respectively). Moreover, found a significantly decrease (P <0.05) in weight gain in the fourth and sixth weeks with fungi (214.29 and 60.71, respectively), compared with control (250.00 and 160.71, respectively), and found a significantly increased (P <0.05) in weight gain in the (2 and 8 weeks) (64.29 and 160.71, respectively), compared with control (48.33 and 142.86, respectively). Found a significantly increased (P <0.05) in feed conversion ratio with Trichoderma fungi treatment compared with control (8.22 and 18.93, respectively), and found a significantly increased (P <0.05) the total counts of microorganisms in the period (0 and 3) for fungi compared with control (1.48*1010, 3.30*10 12and 4.30*104, respectively). We conclude from the foregoing that the treatment of fungi (Trichoderma harzianum), was positive improvements on the performance of Awassi lambs.
