    This work was done on the farm of the Técnica de Ambato University. Grazing meadows formed mostly by alfalfa is used in the Ecuadorian highlands in feeding sheep, however this forage has high severity Pseudopezisa medicaginis related turn with high levels of phytoestrogens (coumestrol). The aim of this research was to assess the effects on semen quality, the coumestrol present in contaminated alfalfa with different levels of Pseudopezisa medicaginis included in diets for sheep. They were tested in a isoproteic and isoenergetic diet, three different levels of fungal contamination, evaluated the following treatments: T1 10%, T2: 40%, T3: 70% contamination in alfalfa. The experiment was carried out under a design of a randomized complete block. By artificial vagina weekly semen collections were performed for evaluation of volume (VOL), motility (MOT), mortality (MOR), concentration (CONC), morphology (MRF), gross motility (SLMM), and individual mobility (MIDL) . The MOR VOL and showed no difference (P = 0.4856 and P = 0.5952 respectively) between treatments. CONC sperm (P = 0.0117) showed no difference, with a higher concentration T1 (Sp 4.63 x 109) with respect to T2 and T3. With regard to the MRF sperm it showed difference (P = 0.0016) between treatments found lower percentages of morphological changes in animals that were fed contaminated alfalfa with 10% Pseudopeziza medicaginis (T1). As for MMSL differences (P = 0.0001) it was observed between treatments, with the greatest mobility T1 (4.43). The higher (P = 0.0007) MIDL is observed for the T1 and T2 T3 off. It is concluded that ingestion of alfalfa with 70% contamination with Pseudopeziza medicaginis measurements have harmful effects on sperm morphology especially alterations in the queue and as low result in both individual sperm motility as masal, which could become these results detrimental effects on reproductive perfomance.
