“…These results are in agreement with Saini et al [9] who reported that shatavari supplementation significantly (P<0.01) increased percent fat, SNF, TS, lactose and protein in crossbred cows. The findings are in line with Divya et al [10] who reported that Shatavari roots supplementation increased milk fat, solid not fat (SNF) and total solids (TS) percent significantly.…”

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplement feeding of Shatavari root powder (Asparagus racemosus) on milk composition and body weight of Holstein Friesian lactating crossbred cows. Fifteen lactating crossbred cows were selected and divided into three groups; T1 (control), T2 and T3 (treatment) of five animals each on the basis of nearness in their body weight and milk yield in completely randomized design. In T1 no Shatavari was supplemented while in T2 and T3 Shatavari was supplemented @ 150 mg and 200 mg/kg body weight, respectively. The study was conducted for a period of 90 days. Milk composition of each animal was determined once every fortnight. Results indicated that the Shatavari root powder supplementation had significant (P<0.05) effect on milk fat, SNF, total solid, lactose and protein percent. The increase in body weight gain was significantly (P<0.05) higher in the treatment groups than the control group. The result showed that supplementing shatavari to the diet of crossbred cows enhanced body weight and improved milk composition.

“…containing steroid saponin phytobiotics can also be used for enhancement of lactation in cows. As shown by Saini et al [2018], addition of powdered roots of this plant at a dose of 40-120 mg/animal/day increased the milk yield (by 0.73-2.63 kg) and the content of fat and proteins in milk.…”

“…Sanjivani biokseera (herbal galactogogue, Naturewell Industries) is a herbal supplement that contains minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients that maintain better production performances and sustain better animal immunity, health status. Galactagogues are believed to assist in the initiation, maintenance, or augmentation of milk production (Gabay, 2002;Abascal and Yarnell, 2008;Saini et al, 2018).…”

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding herbal galactogogue preparation (Sanjivani biokseera) on the milk yield and milk constituents in lactating Kankrej cows. Thirty-two lactating Kankrej cows in their 1st to 6th lactation were taken for the experiment from 3 days after calving up to 52 days postpartum. All the animals were fed as per the standard seasonally available roughages and concentrates to meet their nutritional requirements. The cows were randomly divided into two uniform groups of 16 cows in each according to initial milk yield and milk composition. The animals in group-I were not given any supplement and served as control. The animals in group-II were given Sanjivani biokseera (Naturewell Industries) @ 60 g per day for 1-month, commencing 3 days after calving, in addition to the usual feeds/fodders. A clear difference was observed in milk yield from day 8 onward of experiment between groups with significant (plessthan0 0.05) higher values from day 16-52 in cows fed herbal galactogogue as compared to control, but no such distinct effect on milk constituents was observed on day 52 when analyzed. The use of herbal galactogogue significantly (p lessthan 0.05) increased the overall average of 52 days milk production, which was 9.34 ± 0.21 lit/day in supplemented as compared to 7.75 ± 0.26 lit/day in control animals. It was concluded that herbal galactogogue (Sanjivani biokseera) could increase milk yield in lactating dairy cows through its galactopoetic property and improved rumen environment.
