Twelve Awassiadult rams 2- 3 years old were distributed randomly on 3 treatments by 4 ramseach group transactions were as follows (T1) represents the control group thatdealt with Normal drinking water (non-magnetic) (T2) represents rams whichdrank magnetically treated water which passed through magnetic device withstrength of 700 gauss . (T3) represents the third treatment drank magneticallytreated water which passed through magnetic device with strength of 1400 gauss. Semen was collected from rams twice a week during the period of theexperiment using electro-ejaculator for collecting semen. Semen traits includedin this experiment were: ejaculate volume, semen color , pH of semen , massactivity and individual motility of spermatozoa, spermatozoa concentration,percentages of live and dead spermatozoa and abnormal spermatozoa. Resultsrevealed that treated of rams with magnetically treated water resulted insignificant (p < 0.05) increase as regards the total means of individual motilityof spermatozoa , percentage of live sperm and significant (p < 0.05) decreasewith relation to the total means of percentages of dead spermatozoa, abnormalspermatozoa , pH of semen and that the third treatment dealt with watermagnetized strongly 1400 gauss gave the best results compared to othertreatments. It could be concluded from the results of this experiment thattreated rams drinking magnetic water showed a significant improvement insome semen characteristics of Rams . therefore it can be used magneticallytreated water technology as one of the important means to enhance thereproductive efficiency of the rams in addition continue to provide drinkingmagnetized water for a longer period of time may give better results withrespect to the semen characteristics of rams.
