In order to investigate the effect of different levels of Saturieja khuzistanica powder on the histomorphometric of testis, 36 native roosters (40 week age and BW 2039±293gr) was used. Three levels of Saturieja khuzistanica powder (0, 20 and 40g/kg) over 8 weeks was added to base diet. After eighth weeks, roosters were slaughtered and testes were removed from abdominal cavity. Tissue sections of testis after stained by Hematoxylin-Eosin were used to measure number of primary spermatocyte, secondary spermatocyte, spermatid, Sertoli cells, number of tubules and testicular vessels using optical microscope. In treatment with 40gr Saturieja khuzistanica powder per kg diet, number and density of vessels in testicular section were decreased compared to the control group (P< 0.05). According to these results, adding 40 gr/kg Saturieja khuzistanica powder to diet will maintain Sertoli cells and also increase primary spermatocyte, secondary spermatocyte and spermatid in comparison with the control group.
