Numerous plants have phytoestrogens as novel agents which have noxious effects by making changes in the normal gestation procedure and lead to impaired fertility in domestic animals. Various experimental models have been developed and evidenced for evaluating the efficacy of antifertility agents. The review provides a comprehensive summary of contraceptive methods used in males and females, various plants, parts of plants and extracts are been used for the facilitation of anti-fertility have used as anti-fertility agents.
