An experimental study was conducted using a post-test only control group design. The sample consisted of 36 male mice (Mus musculus) of the Swiss Webster strain, aged 2-3 months, with a body weight of 20-30 grams. The mice were divided into two groups: the control group (P0), which included 18 male mice given 3% Tween as much as 0.5 ml, and the treatment group (P1), which included 18 male mice given ethanol extract of young papaya seeds (Carica papaya L.) at a dose of 0.21 mg/gram body weight, administered orally at 0.5 ml for 36 days. The data obtained were analyzed using the independent sample t-test. This study is a laboratory experiment designed to evaluate and examine the significance of young papaya seed extract in affecting spermatozoa quality.
