Whereas it was (17.49% , 15.6%) during (2011,2012) respectively  in buffalo Cows , Highly significant differences   (P ≤ 0.01) between species was observed yearly and Low significant differences   (P ≤ 0.05)in  some months during the years of  study . We concluded that (RBS) in two species in moderate case with comparied with other countries . The (RBS) difference between species  relate mangmant programs and enrirometal   changes may lead to monthy and yearly differences in (RBS)
