| Abstract | ||
| The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of Panax ginseng powdered on some reproductive parameters, histological testistraits and antioxidant status of Japanese quail males. 30 bird (12 week old) were divided randomly into 3 groups, 10 birds each. 1st group were fed with standard ration ( control group ), the 2nd group were fed standard ration containing Panax ginseng (PG) ( 1 g/kg ration ), the 3rd group were fed standard ration containing (PG) ( 2 g /kg ration ) after 4 weeks. Experimental results indicated that using PG powdered had a significantly increasing(p < 0.05) in testis weight, the Cloacal gland volume (CVOL), Concentration of Testosterone hormone andglutathion level (GSH) in liver and testes tissues , we also reported a significant (p < 0.05) increasing in seminiferous tubules diameter (S.D) and germinal layer area (G.A) On the contrary results PG lead to significantly (p < 0.05) decreasing in body weight (BW), lumen diameter (LD). Seminiferous tubules lumen area (LA) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) level in liver and testes tissues. We concluded Panax ginseng improving testes function and its antioxidant status in Japanese quail males. | ||
