The experiment goal was the investigation of thyme (T), celery (C) and salinomycin effects on immune response, neurotransmitters related to milk production in Barki ewes. Total 72 mature ewes (2-3 years & 40±1.5 Kg BW) randomly pined equally into five groups. Group-1 was control; groups 2 & 3 received 20g/head/day T and C, respectively. Group-4 received 10g T+ 10g C/head/day, group-5 treated with salinomycin 1g/head/day. Samples collected during 2nd, 3rd trimester of pregnancy and on delivery day (DD); milk yield assessed on 15, 30 and 45-day postpartum. T and/or C and salinomycin increased (P<0.05) superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) during mid-, late-pregnancy and DD compared to control, celery and thyme increase malondialdehyde (MDA) (p<0.05) during mid-and late-pregnancy, respectively compared to other groups. Nitric oxide (NO) levels increased in thyme X celery (TxC) group during mid-pregnancy and DD with insignificantly compared with other groups. During mid-pregnancy TxC treatment increased (p<0.05) serotonin (5-HT) levels compared with other groups, the same was dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and tryptophan (Trp) levels (P>0.05). During late pregnancy 5-HT, DA, NE & Trp increased (P<0.05) in the thyme and/or celery group. While on DD salinomycin increased neurotransmitters (P<0.05) with an insignificant increase in other groups. Milk yield increased (P<0.05) during 15, 30 and 45 days postpartum in T and/or C groups than control and salinomycin. In conclusion, the applied treatments had a significant effect on reproductive performance, immune response in ewes throughout pregnancy and DD periods, and milk production during the postpartum period.
