“…Sharma (2010) also found that polyherbal supplementation containing Shatavari @ 200 mg/kg BW, significantly increased the milk yield by 12.24, 15.01 and 10.50% during supplementation, residual and post residual periods, respectively. The milk production was increased 0.60±0.27 kg (9.67%) daily respectively as compared to their previous production supplementation of 50 gm powder of shatavari roots in concentrates (Jingar et al, 2018).…”

“…The relative improvement of milk production of herbs supplemented group might be due to its potent galactogogue herbal formulations and the associated effect between acetate and succinate on rumen microflora, which lead to improvement of feed efficiency and milk production (Abo El-Nor and Kholif 2005). Mishra et al (2008) and Tanwar et al (2008) also reported that postpartum supplementation of Asparagus racemosus increases milk production in crossbred cows.…”

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding 5 herbal preparations on the milk yield and composition of crossbred cows. Thirty five lactating cows in their first-third lactation were taken for the experiment. The cows were divided into 7 groups with 5 cows in each group on the basis of average milk yield (8.70±0.08 kg/d). The experiment was conducted for 90 days, partitioned into pre-treatment period (15 days), treatment period (60 days) and post treatment observation period (15 days). The cows in group C0 were not given any supplement and acted as control. In addition to normal routine feeds and fodders, cows in groups T1 and T2 were given either Restobal @ 50ml twice daily for 5 days/month or Ruchamax @ 15 g/ day for 8 days/month, respectively for 60 days treatment period. The cows in groups T3, T4 and T6 were given either Payaboon @ 500 g/ton, Payaboon @ 1 kg/ton, Optrium @ 500 g/ton/ day, respectively for 60 days treatment period. In group T5, cows were given Payapro @ 4 bolus/day for 15 consecutive days commencing after 15 days pre-treatment period. T5 group showed comparatively higher total milk yield than the control and other groups. Average milk yield (kg/d) during the supplementation period was slightly higher in T5 followed by T2 and T6. T5 group showed lowest trend of reduction in milk yield during treatment period. Average milk yield (kg/d) during post supplementation period was also higher in T5. Milk protein and fat (%) were higher in T1 and T3 than the control and other treatment groups. Total solid and SNF (%) showed higher trend in T1. At 15 day of supplementation, milk yield increased in all the treatment groups compared to control (8.38) and it was highest in T5 (9.69). The milk yield decreased gradually thereafter but the rate of reduction was comparatively lower in T24, T5 and T6 than the control. Milk constituents showed significant variations among different weeks in different groups. Hence it can be concluded that herbal preparations can increase the productivity in lactating dairy cows with no deleterious effect on general health.

“…Supplementation of saponin and tannin containing shatavari 50 to 100 g/day/animal irrespective of body weight have been found to increase milk production significantly in crossbred cows (Mirzaei, 2012), cows and buffaloes (Tanwar et al, 2008) and supplementation of Leucaena on cattle and sheep (Barros-Rodríguez et al, 2012). Flavonoids also causes changes in the fermentation end products and also alter the concentration and composition of lactate-utilizing bacteria (M. elsdenii) which increases milk production (Seradj et al, 2014).…”

Plants produce secondary compounds (include tannins, saponins, flavoids, glucosinolates, mimosine and essential oils) which are not used for their growth, development and reproduction of the plant. The review found out the nutrient utilization and productivity performance of ruminant animals supplementing with secondary compounds containing forages, browse species, shrubs, grains, legumes and others. Secondary compounds influence the digestibility, dry matter intake and absorption of nutrients in ruminant’s nutrition. Their dose determines whether they are enhancers or detrimental. Tannins, saponins and essential oils are the major secondary compounds which may improve the health, average live weight gain and milk and wool production. Moreover, ruminant animals consuming secondary compound containing forages support the efficient utilization of energy while reducing the rumen gas production which results in low methane. The main problem of supplementing such kind of forages is the absence of consistent recommended dose. Therefore, this area needs to get more attention and further research should be done to establish much more profitable farm and to boost the economic value of ruminant animals.
