Antioxidant is needed to prevent free radicals, which can be obtained from various sources such as tomatoes and zinc. This study was used experimentally with post test only control group design with divided into 5 groups (K1 to K5). K1 were exposed standard feed, K2 were exposed to 4 mg/day of MSG, K3 were exposed 3.7 g/day of tomatoes + 4 mg/day of MSG, K4 were exposed 0.27 mg/day of zinc + 4 mg/day of MSG and K5 were exposed combination of 3.7 g/day of tomatoes + 0.27 mg/day of zinc + 4 mg/day of MSG. Tomatoes or zinc and the combination of tomatoes and zinc were effective to improve the morphology and motility of male white rats Rattus norvegicus spermatozoa which were exposed to MSG.
