The present investigation was conducted to assess the effect of Shatavari root powder (Asparagus racemosus) supplementation on milk composition of Sahiwal crossbred cows during summer season on twenty lactating Sahiwal crossbred (H.F. × Sahiwal) cows in early stage of lactation were selected for the experiment. All the cows were randomly divided into two groups T 1 (control) and T 2 (Treatment) of 10 in each group. The treatment group was provided Shatavari root powder @ 50 g/head/day for 90 days post partum. Data related to milk composition takes fortnightly interval. The overall average milk fat, Protein and Lactose percent during the experimental period in T 1 and T 2 groups were 3.77 ± 0.01, 3.84 ± 0.03, 3.43 ± 0.01 and 3.46 ± 0.01, 4.54 ± 0.06 and 4.69 ± 0.06 percent respectively, there was no significant (P<0.05) differences between T 1 and T 2 groups. The overall average solid not fat (values) and total solid (values) differed significantly (P<0.05) between T 1 and T 2 groups 8.84 ± 0.04, 9.11 ± 0.11, 12.66 ± 0.03 and 13.02 ± 0.14% in T 1 and T 2 groups was significantly (P<0.05).

India, a developing country is a land of villages and more than 70 % of the human population still depends upon agriculture and livestock sector for their livelihood. Livestock sector plays a critical role in the welfare of India’s rural population. India is the highest milk producer in the world and with increase in number of milch animals (in-milk and dry) in cows and buffaloes have increased from 111.09 million to 118.59 million, an increase of 6.75% (19 th Livestock census, 2012). The growth is on account of both improvements in International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 2 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com
Effect of Supplement Feeding of Shatavari on Lactating Buffaloes
2020
A study was conducted in adopted villages of K V K B u n d i t o a s s e s s t h e e f f e c t o f supplementing shatavari ( ) feed on performance of lactating buffaloes. Twenty lactating buffaloes in mid lactation with similar age, body weight and milk yield were selected from dairy farms of the local farmers and divided into two groups of ten animals each. Control group was maintained as per farmer's practices (feeding of 3 kg cotton seed cake along with wheat straw), while groups comprising feeding of wheat straw + shatavari powder 50gm /day /animal up to 60 days. Result revealed that 19.67 per cent higher average milk yield was recorded in buffaloes feeding under group (7.36 kg/day) as compared to (6.15 kg/day). Increase in the income by feeding Shatavari came to Rs. 50.50/day/ animal. It was concluded that feeding of Shatavari along with wheat straw improves milk yield and fat percent as well as reproductive performance in lactating buffaloes.
The Effects of Herbs on Milk Yield and Milk Quality of Mastitis Dairy Cow
Journal of the Indonesian Tropical Animal Agriculture, 2011
This experiment aimed to observe the effect of herbs (Black Cumin,Curcuma zeodharia,Curcuma mangga, and Curcuma aeruginosa) supplementation on milk yield and milk quality (milk fat, milk protein, milk lactosa and mastitis status) in lactating dairy cows suffering mastitis. Twenty cows in 2 nd-4 th lactation suspected mastitis subclinical (++) were used in the experiment. Completely randomized design was used in this experiment with 5 treatments (A. Non Herb; B. Black Cumin; C. Curcuma zeodharia; D. Curcuma mangga, and E. Curcuma aeruginosa) with four replicates per treatment. The collected data were analyzed by analysis of variance and difference between the treatment effects was tested by using Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results showed that supplementation of herbs significantly increased (P<0.01) milk yield, milk protein, milk lactosa and significantly decreased mastitis status and did not significant affect milk fat.

Milk is produced by the mammary gland of mammals to feed their young ones. Milk is an important nutrient-rich beverage that benefits our health. This article aims to study the effect of Asparagus racemosus root powder on milk yield and milk composition. The experiment was performed to determine the milk yield and milk protein, fat, total milk solid, and milk acidity after using Asparagus racemosus as a food supplement. The animals were selected based on purposive sampling to select lactate buffalo to avoid or reduced the error. During the experiment, animals fed in three phases; control, treatment, and the residual phase. In control phase animal diet normal ration, whereas in the treatment phase, a buffalo was diet 120 gram of Asparagus racemosus root powder in addition to its normal diet per buffalo per day. While in the residual phase, the animal was diet only normal ration. Each phase has been 5 days. The Milk collected from lactating buffalo in three phases; control, treatment, ...

A study was made to evaluate the effect of feeding three different herbal galactogogue preparations namely Galactin Vet, Payapro and Gomilk on the milk yield and its composition from crossbred cows. Twenty lactating crossbred cows were taken for the experiment and were randomly divided into four groups of five cows each i.e. T0 (control group) without any galactogouge. T1 cows fed with Galactin Vet @4 boli/day orally, T2 cows with Payapro @ 4 boli/day orally while T3 cows fed with Gomilk @ 10 tab bid orally per day for a period of two months. Significant (P≤0.01) difference was observed in the milk yield of cows fed with herbal galactogouge preparations as compared to the control. Highest average milk yield of 7.76±0.16 litres per day (4% FCM) was observed in the case of Payapro supplemented cows followed by 7.54±0.23 litres/day and 7.01±0.15 litres/day in the case of cows supplemented with Galactin Vet and Gomilk respectively while in the case of control animals average milk yield ...
