“…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.
