Three different concentrations of the two plants were used (0.001, 0.05, and 0.5 mg), and the activity of the sperm were evaluated at the time: 0, 24, 48, 72 hours of experiment. Results showed a significant decrease in sperm activity associated with the treatment by the concentrations 0.005 and 0.01 mg of Ziziphus, and 0.01 mg of Thymus vulgaris.
