dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted on Jersey crossbred lactating cows randomly divided into four groups, each group having six animals. T1, T2 and T3 group cows received Giloy stem powder (150 g), or Fenugreek seed powder (150 g), or a combination of both the herbs (75 g of each) respectively, mixed with the concentrate feed for 60 days while the control group (T0) received only the concentrate. Milk yield was recorded every 5th day from Day 0 (a day before the starting of herbal treatment) to Day 75 (15 days after the stoppage of herbal feeding). Milk and blood sampling was done fortnightly, from Day 0 to Day 75. Milk samples were analyzed for milk composition parameters (Fat, SNF, milk protein and Lactose per cent) and minerals (Ca, P, Fe, Cu and Zn). Blood plasma samples were analyzed for biochemical parameters viz. glucose, lipid profile (TAG, Cholesterol, HDL and LDL), protein profile (Total protein, albumin, globulin and A: G ratio) and renal profile (urea nitrogen and creatinine) and minerals (Ca, P, Fe, Cu and Zn). It was found that the feeding of Giloy stem powder or Fenugreek seed powder alone or in combination to lactating Jersey crossbred cows did not lead to any significant change in the milk yield. Milk Fat, SNF, milk protein and lactose did not change to any significant extent after feeding of Giloy or Fenugreek or both. Giloy supplementation lead to significantly lower levels of blood glucose while fenugreek alone or in combination with giloy was effective in lowering the total cholesterol and LDL levels in the blood of lactating dairy cows. Most of the other blood biochemical parameters remained unchanged in control and treated animals. Herbal supplementation had no significant influence on any of the mineral elements (Ca, P, Fe, Cu and Zn) estimated in milk and blood plasma of lactating cows used in this study.en_US
