Abstract
Effect A garlic on reproductive functions of male rats were studied using twenty healthy
sexually male wistar of age ranging between 6-7 months old, with body weight ranging
100g and I50g. They were assisted randomly into four grotms with five male animal
making a group for following levels of 0.2ml Normal saline (control group 1) 20% garlic
(Group 2), 40% garlic (Group 3) and 60% garlic (group 4). At the end Ads weeks of
feeding, all the rabbis were castrated and semen evaluation of the testicular and
