| dc.description.abstract | Pregnant crossbred cows were exposed to more oxidative stress during transitional period from prepartum to early lactation due to metabolic needs, hormonal changes, initiation of lactation and disturbed homeostasis mechanism. Genetic selection for greater performance in the absence of consideration for heat tolerance will result in greater susceptibility to heat stress. To mitigate these stressors the present study was conducted on Asparagus racemosus supplementation and its effect on prepartum, postpartum and environmental heat stress in crossbred cattle. For this study, twelve healthy pregnant Jersey crossbred cows were randomly chosen and divided equally into experimental and control groups based on parity and body weight. The experimental group which were supplemented with Asparagus racemosus root powder 4 weeks before parturition @ lOOmg/kg body weight and @ 200mg/kg body weight for 4 weeks during postpartum and summer period. Blood and milk sample were collected on weekly basis during the study period and milk yield measured daily. | |
