“…The total nitrogen intake in C and treatment group was similar (Table 3). Ingale et al (2017) also reported that the nitrogen intake was similar among the groups supplemented with the polyherbal additive, PA (Withania somnifera, Boerhavia diffusa and Holarrhena antidysenterica) at 0, 1.5 and 2.5 percent of expected mean daily feed intake in goat kids. Contrary to our findings, Roopa et al (2017) reported significant (P0.01) increase in nitrogen intake among treatment groups supplemented with polyherbal superliv (500 g/ton), polyherbal ruchamax (500 g/ton) and AV/AGP/10 (bacteriostatic herbal growth promoter (500 g/ton) in Yorkshire male pigs.…”

Background: Tinospora cordifolia is a common climbing shrub that grows on other trees. It is native to India. Its root, stems and leaves are used in Ayurvedic medicine. Methods: Experimental animals (n=10) were equally divided into two groups of five animals each (average body weight 16.53 kg), designated as control (C) and treatment (C + T. cordifolia) group. A 60 day growth trial was conducted after giving adaptation period of 20 days. A 7-day metabolic trial was conducted towards the end of the experiment using standard protocol. Blood samples were collected at the end of study to determine biochemical and antioxidant profile. Rumen liquor samples were collected by oral intubation and used for quantification of microbial population. Result: T. cordifolia supplemented at the rate of 2% of DM intake in the total mixed ration of goat kids reduced the relative abundance of methanogens in the rumen, without any significant effect on nutrient digestibility, N balance, blood biochemical profile, cell mediated immune response and growth performance.

“…The mean faecal nitrogen was higher (P0.05) in the treatment group supplemented with T. cordifolia than C group. Ingale et al (2017) reported that faecal nitrogen was numerically higher in polyherbal additive supplemented Jamunapari kids. However, N balance was similar between the C and treatment groups in the current study.…”

Probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, direct-fed microbials, and herbs may improve the production efficiency in ruminants. The beneficial effect of selected specific microbes on animal health is reflected in protection against pathogens, stimulation of immunological response, increased production capacity, and mitigation of stress effects. Phytobiotic plants used in the nutrition of ruminant animals increase feed palatability. This in turn has a positive effect on feed intake and, consequently, increases production performance. Pectins, terpenes, phenols, saponins, and antibiotic-like substances contained in phytobiotics prevent irritation, diarrhea, and increase the activity of digestive enzymes. Thanks to the abundance of biologically active substances such as flavonoids, glycosides, coumarins, carotenoids, polyphenols, etc., phytobiotics exhibit immunostimulatory and antioxidant properties as well. Given such a wide range of effects on health status and production parameters in animals, an attempt was made in this review to compile the current knowledge on the possible application of these natural growth stimulants in ruminant nutrition and to demonstrate their potential benefits and/or risks for breeding these animals.
