Feeding continuous until does birth. The purpose of the study is to know the effect of blackseed on the weight gain of does, weights of their kids, their milk productionand some compounds of milk. The results of this study can be summarizedas follows: Does of two treatments where are fed on black seed 3٪ and 4٪reveale significantly (P<0.05) highest weight gain as compared with weightgain of the control and the second treatment, weights of kids for does onblack seed 3٪ and 2٪ exceeded that weights of kids of control does andweights of kids of does fed on 1٪ black seed at all weeks except the fifth and the sixth weeks and the weights of control births generally have thelowest significance as compared with all treatments. The fourth treatment has significant (P<0.05) superiority in mean biweekly milk yield than milk yield of control does at the first four weeks , and also the fourth treatment exceedsthe second treatment at fourth week. Generally rabbit does which have been fed on 2٪ and 3٪ black seed record a higher milk yield at the first four weeks. The daily and total milk yield / doe is significantly (P<0.05) higher fordoes of third treatment 2٪ black seed and fourth treatment 3٪ black seed than of the control and the second treatments. The fourth treatment acquire ahigherpercentige of milk fat as compared with the control. Does of third and fourthtreatments record higher significant increase in protein percentage as compared with does of the first and the second treatments .
