Vetnuus | November 2025 19 Article CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of the current study, the alcoholic extract of ginseng roots shows a protective and therapeutic effect on sex hormones and spermatogenesis cells, and improves spermatogenesis. This may be due to its presence of active substances that play a role as antioxidants. Conflict of interest The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest. Ethics and institutional animal care and use committee (IACUC): The research methodology and protocols were reviewed and approved by the scientific committee of Veterinary Medicine College, University of Tikrit, Salah Alden-Iraq (TU.VET.30) in compliance with animal welfare ethical measures prior to any experiments being conducted. Acknowledgment The authors are grateful to the University of Tikrit /College of Veterinary Medicine for all the facilities to achieve this study. v REFERENCES 1. Kashani L., Akhondzadeh S.
