This study has been done to know the effect of tow minerals zinc and selenium on the immunity through measurement of adenosine deaminase, globulin, total protein and albumin. In addition to know the effect of selenium and zinc on CBP (complete blood picture), biochemical blood characteristic, We used 25 Iraqi ewes with age ranging between 2-4 years and with average life body weight 40kg for period from February/ 2010 to September/2010,in farm of agriculture college – University of Anbar > This 25 ewes has been divided randomly into five groups (5 ewes for each group), first group given distilled water and considered as control group, 0.8 mg selenium given for second group and 1.6 mg for third group while 3.2 mg zinc given for fourth group and 6.4mg for last group. Oral supplement with these minerals has been continuing for 2 months, There are no significant differences between the groups treated with cholesterol and that treated with distilled water , the effects of the zinc and selenium on total protein and globulin level, (Zn1) group have highest level from others. But for albumin level there was no significant difference between control and treated groups.the two groups (Se1 and Zn1) have the best effect on CBP, as (Zn1) has higher number of RBC, lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes. While (Se1) group has higher number of lymphocytes and monocytes. In addition to that, these two groups have the best result for the Hb (hemoglobin), hematocrits and others.
