Aim of the study was to induction of estrus in anestrus Iraqi Awassi ewes by sulpiride treatment. The results of estrus response reveals significant differences (P˂0.05) between treated and control groups. The time elapse to estrus following treatment was 7±1.30 days . The average estrus duration average was 29.3±2.4 hours in treated group. The estrogen concentration was significantly (P˂0.05) between treatment and control group (15.00±0.57 and 12.00±0.77 pg/ml) respectively. It can be concluded that using sulpiride in programs for induction of estrus as non-hormonal intervention in seasonally anestrus ewes shows a high rate of successful estrus induction in Iraqi Awassi ewes.
