reach 53.2, 45, and 44.1 percentage in order.
2-The difference between each of means of the knowledge score after and the knowledge score before was significant at level of 0.0l The level of increase in percentages of respondent who gained the correct knowledge was high dealing with ten recommendations, and was a moderate level for another ten ecommendations, the rest of recommendations l0 had a low level of increase.
3-The most important variables related positively with the knowledge changed degrees were: attitudes toward sheep production, satisfaction from sheep production, exposure to the extension activities and contact with professional
