“…Anethum graveolens acts as a galactogogue (Jana and Shekhawat, 2010), where as Foeniculum vulgare plays an important role in promoting milk ejection, stimulating milk flow and increasing milk production (Abascal and Yarnell, 2008) and Trachys permumammi acts as galactogogue, hypotensive, oxytocic, stimulate milk ducts of mammary gland tissue as well as promote milk ejection (Zuppa et al 2010;Ghedira et al 2010). The present findings are in consonance with the finding of Patel et al, 2017 andJapheth et al (2019) who reported that feeding of polyherbal mixture in crossbred cattle significantly (P<0.05) improved milk yield. Thakur et al (2006) also reported that dietary supplementation of commercial herbal feed additive to lactating crossbred cows increased the milk yield.…”

“…High returns are required from any farm innovations to offset the risks associated with its adoption (Peso 2002). Patel et al (2017) also reported that supplementation of Shatawari, Jivanti and Fenugreek in equal proportion @ 60 g/cow/day resulted in significant increase in milk yield and daily return in lactating Kankrej cattle. Apart from increase in milk production, significant improvement in reproductive parameters was also recorded in supplemented animals that have economic importance for life time productivity of dairy animals.…”

The present study was conducted at farmer's field in Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh to assess the response of polyherbal mixture supplementation on milk production and postpartum reproduction in crossbred cattle. The polyherbal mixture was prepared by mixing 25 g each of Foeniculum vulgare (Saunf), Trachy spermumammi (Ajwain), Trigonella foenumgraecum (Methi), Zingiber officinale (Sundh), Anethum graveolens (Sowa) and Elettaria cardamomum (Cardamom). Sixteen crossbred cattle were divided into two groups on eight each as T 0 : control and T 1: treatment and the animals of T 1 were supplemented ployherbal mixture from the day of calving till day 10 of postpartum. The data was recorded for 2 months duration. The animals were managed as per the standard feeding practices followed by the farmers. Significant increase in milk yield (P<0.05) was recorded due to supplementation of polyherbal mixture as compared to control group. From 0 to 60th day, an average increase of 21.53 % in milk yield was recorded due to polyherbal mixture supplementation as compared to 6.91% in unsupplemented group. No case of foetal membrane retention was recorded in treatment group, whereas in control group, two cases were observed. Time required for expulsion of foetal membranes was reduced significantly (P<0.05) in supplemented animal as compared to control (4.38 vs 7.38 hours). Supplementation has also reduced number of insemination per conception in cattle (2.38) as compared un-supplemented group (2.88). Considering the present cost of feed supplement and the market price of milk, polyherbal mixture supplementation appears to be both economical and cost effective, and had a positive effect on milk production and postpartum reproduction in crossbred cattle maintained under small holder conditions.

“…Thakur et al (2006) also reported that dietary supplementation of commercial herbal feed additive (Zingiber officinale, Adds racemosus, Lepidium sativum, Fragonella facunm, Ptychotis ajowan, Accacium sativam, Anacycus pyrethrum, Anaqua sodichlorium, Ficus religosa and Myrictica officials) to lactating crossbred cow, increased the milk yield. Supplementation of Shatavari, Jivanti and Fenugreek in equal proportion at the dose rate of 60 g/cow/day resulted in significant increase in milk yield and daily return income in lactating Kankrej cows (Patel et al, 2017).…”

The study was conducted at ICAR-NDRI to investigate the effect of polyherbal mixture supplementation on incidence of mastitis and milk production in postpartum Murrah buffaloes. A total of 60 buffaloes were utilized for the study and were randomly classified into two groups viz. control and treatment group (each 30 buffaloes). Buffaloes in the control group were fed with the routine ration as per the feeding schedule of NDRI (NRC, 2001+ 10% extra energy). Buffaloes in the treatment group were supplemented with polyherbal mixture containing 25g each of Ajwain, Haldi, Jeera, Methi, Saunf, Sowa and Sundh along with 25g of kala namak and 250g jaggery from the day of calving till day 10 of postpartum. The polyherbal mixture was grounded into fine powder, mixed in the concentrate and fed once a day. Milk samples were collected on day 7, 14, 21 and 28 postpartum and examined for somatic cells load by California Mastitis Test (CMT). The lactation total milk yield of both supplemented and non supplemented groups are also recorded. Proportion of Murrah buffaloes that were suspicious for mastitis were 20% (day 7), 10% (day 14), 3.3% (day 21) and 0% (day 28) in supplemented group while it was 36.6% (day 7), 26.6% (day 14), 10% (day 21) and 6.6% (day 28) in control group; there was significant difference (P<0.05) between control and supplemented group on day 7, 21 and 28. The average total milk yield in supplemented group was 2642.87±75.45 kg, while it was 2292.27±77.65 kg in non supplemented group. The total milk yield was significantly (P<0.05) higher in the supplemented group as compared to control group. It is inferred that supplementation of polyherbal mixture in postpartum Murrah buffaloes minimized the incidence of buffaloes suspicious for mastitis and increased the milk production.

“…Furthermore, this herb has been demonstrated to have a considerable impact on ruminant lactation performance (Tabares et al 2014). Fenugreek supports milk production as it is a rich source of essential fatty acids Patel et al (2017). Supplementing milk with fenugreek seeds improves the composition of cow's milk.…”

Background: The primary aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of chelated organic mineral mixture “HimChelate” (Developed by Himalaya Wellness Company) on milk production, fat percentage, solids not fat (SNF) and milk somatic cell counts in lactating dairy cows. Methods: A total of eight lactating dairy cows were randomly selected in one group (G) supplemented with HimChelate mixed with concentrate feed and water at a dose of 30 g/day/cow. The cows were used as their controls and thus, allocated to a control pretreatment period (baseline; 7 days), followed by a treatment period (30 days) and after the treatment period (7 days). The impact of HimChelate supplementation on milk production and quality parameters viz, fat and SNF percentages were before supplementation (baseline), during the supplementation period of HimChelate daily up to 4 weeksand after supplementation of HimChelate (1 week) were accessed to evaluate the efficacy of HimChelate. Result: The mean milk yield in G on the baseline and during the treatment period, i.e., weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4, was 10.64±1.34 and 10.72±1.36, 10.76±1.35, 10.79±1.37 and 10.73±1.40, respectively. The sum milk yield was increased moderately in G during the treatment period compared with that on the baseline throughout the treatment period, i.e., 0.58 L (week 1), 0.93 L (week 2), 1.20 L (week 3) and 0.68 L (week 4). The impact of HimChelate on assessment parameters, such as milk yield, fat and SNF in dairy cows showed that mean milk yield (L) was increased by 1.03% following supplementation of HimChelate at 30 g (G) once daily per cow, respectively. Conversely, fat and SNF percentages were increased by 4.41% and 0.25% following the supplementation of HimChelate at 30 g(G). The supplementation of HimChelate 30 g once daily caused a slight reduction in milk somatic cell count (SCC) as early as day 3 (5100000 cells/mL). Conversely, the major reduction in milk SCC count was observed from day 9, i.e., 900000 cells/mL and maintained milk SCC of 300000 cells/mL from days 12 to 21. The findings of present research investigation depicted that the supplementation of HimChelate at the dose of 30 g/day/cow was better in terms of augmentation of milk production and improvement of milk quality parameters.
