| dc.description.abstract | The present study entitled Effect of feeding Moringa oleifera stems on the Performance of Sahiwal cows was carried out at the Department of LPM, NVC Nagpur for a period of 90 days. A total of 12 animals were randomly grouped into two groups, Control (T0) and treatment (T1). The animals of T0 were fed with a regular diet and T1 20% of concentrate is replaced with Moringa stem meal. The milk, blood, biochemical parameters, and economics were studied. The proximate analysis of MSM showed the moisture content of 10.2%. The CP of 20.74%, CF of 17.5%, EE of 3.2%, NFE of 33.76% and Ash of 14.6%. The Phytochemical analysis of Moringa oleifera stems showed presence of various phytochemicals such as alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, saponins and flavonoids The milk yield and milk composition (milk fat, SNF, protein and lactose) where recorded at fortnight interval. However, except in SNF, in all the milk parameters a significant rise was observed. The hematological study revealed that the TEC and Hb% did not differ significantly, however the TLC and PCV showed a significant difference among the groups. The biochemical analysis of serum in which serum glucose, total protein, serum albumin, serum globulin, serum triglycerides, ALT and AST revealed a nonsignificant difference among the control and treatment groups. The cost of feeding and cost of production was calculated considering the cost of preparation of MSM, which revealed the cost of feeding per kg milk production in the cost of feeding per kg milk production in T0 was ₹ 18.312 and in T1 was ₹ 14.713. The profit per kg milk production was Rs 21.17 and Rs 25.28 in T0 and T1 respectively. | |
