The present study was conducted to assess the effect of Morinda citrifolia fruit juice on milk characteristics of healthy as well as mastitis-affected dairy cow. A total of 25 adult dairy cows were selected out of which 13 were healthy and 12 were found affected with sub-clinical mastitis. M. citrifolia fruit juice was fed to dairy cow at the rate of 100 ml/day/animal orally. The average pH of the normal milk and mastitis-affected milk was 6.6090.12 and 7.290.17, respectively. The feeding of M. citrifolia juice significantly (p B0.05) lowered the pH of mastitisaffected milk to 6.5490.07. The EC of mastitis-affected milk lowered significantly (p B0.05) after feeding of M. citrifolia fruit juice. The total bacterial count in the mastitis milk also decreased significantly (p B0.05) from 5.1590.03 )10 8 to 2.5490.03 )10 8 cfu/ml after feeding of M. citrifolia juice. Morinda feeding decreased the total protein concentration in the mastitis milk significantly (p B0.05) to 21.1390.93 mg/ml. It could be concluded that the feeding of M. citrifolia fruit juice to dairy cows showed improvement in the quality and biophysical parameters of milk of mastitis-infected dairy animals.

“…The traditional functions of both Radix Codonopsis and Radix Astragali are in enhancing immune function (Cho and Leung, 2007;Chan et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2010). Some other previous studies have also demonstrated that SFI exhibited anti-tumor synergy effects accompanied by chemotherapy in tumor-bearing murine model and clinical application (Dai et al, 2008;Dong et al, 2010;Zhu et al, 2010), some of which have shown that SFI may play an important role in chemotherapy, such as improving quality of life, tumor response, performance status, and reducing the toxicity of chemotherapy.…”

To investigate the effect of ginger root powder on egg production, cholesterol, antioxidant and hen performance, 100 30-week-old laying hens (Hy-Line W36) were equally and randomly assigned to four diets for 8 weeks. The diets included a control diet (0.0% ginger) and diets with 0.25, 0.5 or 0.75% ginger root powder. Although, the egg weight, feed intake and feed conversion ratio were not (PB0.05) influenced by ginger root supplementation, the egg production was higher and cholesterol lower (PB0.05) in birds fed diet with 0.5 or 0.75% ginger root compared to control birds. Ginger powder concentrations of 0.5 or 0.75% g (PB0.05) increased activities of glutathione peroxidase but reduced malondialdehyde content in the plasma. It is concluded that the use of 0.5% ginger root in diet may positively increase egg production and lower egg cholesterol without any adverse effect on egg weight and feed conversion ratio.
