This study  assess the effect of ginger on the fertility of male rabbits, in order to get benefit of its useful effect on semen quality and the reproductive performances.   For this study semen was collected for analysis of; ejaculate volume, sperm motility, count and abnormalities. In addition, sera were used for determination of testosterone level, Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) and Malondialdehyde concentration (MDA). Histological examination of testes and epididymis was performed. The obtained results revealed that ginger treated bucks showed; no change in ejaculate volume, a significant increase in the individual sperm motility, sperm count with a significant decrease in the percentage of abnormal spermatozoa, a significant increase in testosterone level, TAC with a significant reduction in MDA concentration in ginger as compared with the control. The histological examination of testes and epididymis showed no abnormalities in participants with accumulation of the spermatozoa in the lumen of the seminiferous tubules, increased epithelial cells height of the epididymis with overcrowded lumens with sperms in ginger treated bucks. It could be concluded that ginger has a positive effect on the male fertility which could be attributed to the antioxidant and androgenic activity of ginger.
