The study was conducted in Khirbet Al-Tin Research Station of ACSAD in 2019 with the aim of evaluating the effect of biological or chemical treatment of wheat straw on the productive performance of Awassi sheep, 21 lambs aged 4 months were used and randomly distributed into 3 groups (7 lambs for each group) with an average weight of (36.21±1.41, 36.07±1.76, 36.36±1.79) kg for each group respectively. All animals were fed for 3 months on the same concentrated ration while the filling part of the ration was untreated wheat straw (T1), straw treated with EM1 solution (T2), and finally straw treated with 4% urea solution. Results showed that the group fed urea treated straw had the best performance followed by that fed EM1 treated straw, then the control group respectively in terms of daily growth rate (191.07 ± 4.90, 173.89 ± 10.44, 171.7 ± 17.16) g/day/head and the total weight gain through out the experiment (17.25 ±0.44, 15.65±0.93, 15.45±1.54) kg, respectively, these differences were not statistically significant at the 0.05 level. In respectively the feed consumption rate for the groups was (1870 ± 0.81, 1875 ± 0.91, 1855 ± 0.86) g / day / head, while the profit per head during the trial period was (19768 ± 8.65, 20328 ± 10.01, 24107 ± 11.29) Lira, respectively, with significant differences at the 0.05 level. Thus, it can be concluded that the biological and chemical treatment of the wheat rocks in the diets of the Awassi sheep improves the nutritional value and increases the performance of the developing sheep, and saves the cost
