Effect of oral administration of collagen-α® reproductive activity and growth efficiency of mature male rabbit

Collagen supplements are widely used for their bioactive properties, affecting cellular and tissue health, and elasticity with high repair and conditioning effects. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of oral administration of Collagen-α® on the health and reproductive performance of male rabbits. Animals were randomized into three groups (6 rabbits per group) including Group I (control group) treated with 1ml of distal water orally, Group II treated with 1ml of Collagen-α® orally for 15 days, and Group III treated with 1ml of Collagen-α® orally for 30 days. Body weight and body weight changes, organ weights, and histopathological evaluation of the testis were recorded. The study showed that the collagen-alpha treatment group had significantly lower body weight and organ weight than the control group. Furthermore, various changes in histopathology and parameters related to testicular function were found in the collagen alpha group compared to the control group.
