This study was conducted on sixteen local Iraqi bucks aged 3 to 4 in College of Veterinary Medicine/ University of Baghdad from January to May, 2016.
They were divided randomly into two equal groups; 1st group (G1) was treated by oral administration of 15 gm/daily cumin seeds for 3 weeks, while the 2nd group (G2) represented control group.
The 1st group showed a significant (P≤0.05) increase in semen volume (2.08±0.36 ml); furthermore, the number of sperms increased significantly also according to assessment of semen color (4.23±0.26).
