The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of the consumption of diets formulated with Acacia rigidula (Benth) Seigler & Ebinger and Havardia pallens (Benth) Britton & Rose, on the reproductive capacity of Creole male goats reared under stable conditions in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas. Fifteen young male goats (approximately 3-4 months old) were randomly assigned to native plant diets or a control diet, with 35% inclusion. The aspects evaluated were scrotal circumference (Ces), mass motility (MM), and sperm morphology, which were determined twice a month, from August to December. In order to observe whether there were differences in sperm motility and morphology between the groups (Acacia rigidula AR, Havardia pallens HP and Medicago sativa CON), frequencies and percentages were obtained using the Kruskal-Wallis test. In addition, a variance analysis was performed between the three groups to establish differences in bromatological characteristics, secondary compounds, and scrotal circumference. The results obtained show differences in crude protein and cell wall content (p < 0.05). The concentration of secondary compounds was different between the groups (p < 0.05) as well as the mass motility (five-point scale, p < 0.05). Therefore, we can conclude that the use of shrubs such as HP and AR can be offered at a percentage of 35% without affecting sperm morphology in male goats. Future investigations may also try to prove higher levels than 35% of inclusion in adult animals to determine its effect on goats older than those used in the present study.
