This study was designed to identify the impact of the toxicity of cadmium chloride on the fertility of male local rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculus and preventive role of pomegranate juice and L-carnitine against this toxin, used in this study, 30 local male rabbits were randomly divided into six groups each group containing 5 animals, the first group given distilled water which considered as healthy control group, the second group was treated with cadmium chloride (5mg/kg) of body weight and promised infected control, The third group given pomegranate juice 6 ml/kg of body weight, The group fourth given L-carnitine (28 mg/kg) of body weight, The group fifth set was treated with cadmium (chloride 5mg/kg) of body weight, with given pomegranate juice 6 ml/kg of body weight, The six group was treated as cadmium chloride 5 mg/kg of body weight with given L-carentin 28 mg/kg of body weight. The results showed that the treatment of animals with cadmium chloride led to negative effects on sperm parameters consisted decrease significantly (P≤ 0.05) in traffic and the number of live natural and shape of it, rising significantly in the number of non motile sperm and the number of dead sperm and sperm-shaped deformed, while the dosage animals resulted in that with juice of the pomegranate and L-carentin on respectively and with cadmium chloride to events significant increase in the number of mobile sperm and the number of living sperm and natural shape of it. and significantly decrease in the number of non motile sperm and the number of dead sperm and sperm-shaped distorted.
