A study was conducted in adopted villages of KVK Bundi to assess the effect of supplementing shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) feed on performance of lactating buffaloes. Twenty lactating buffaloes in mid lactation with similar age, body weight and milk yield were selected from dairy farms of the local farmers and divided into two groups of ten animals each. Control group was maintained as per farmer's practices (feeding of 3 kg cotton seed cake along with wheat straw), while groups comprising feeding of wheat straw + shatavari powder 50gm /day /animal up to 60 days. Result revealed that 19.67 per cent higher average milk yield was recorded in buffaloes feeding under group (7.36 kg/day) as compared to (6.15 kg/day). Increase in the income by feeding Shatavari came to Rs. 50.50/day/animal. It was concluded that feeding of Shatavari along with wheat straw improves milk yield and fat percent as well as reproductive performance in lactating buffaloes.

Lactating Buffaloes

SummaryThree experiments, each with six lactating Mehsana-Surti buffaloes, were conducted to investigate the effect of supplementary feeding of concentrates on intake of basal rations of berseem hay, maize silage or wheat straw and on the total intake of feeds in 3 × 3 latin square designs.In the berseem hay experiment, concentrate feeding at 16·8 or 26·1% of hay drymatter intake (DMI) resulted in a decrease of hay DMI by 0·77 and 0·65 kg/kg concentrate D.M., respectively. Intake of total digestible nutrients (TDN) and digestible crude protein (DCP) of buffaloes receiving concentrates in addition to hay were not different from those receiving hay alone. The possibility of some chemical factor limiting feed intake has been indicated for these rations in buffaloes. Supplementary feeding had a little effect on milk production.In the maize silage experiment, concentrate feeding at 14·5 and 27·7% of the silage DMI resulted in a similar increase of total DMI, thereby increasing the TDN intake and DCP intake. Appreciable increases in milk yield and solids-not-fat (SNF) content due to supplementation were noted, although milk-fat content tended to be low.Voluntary intake of rations comprising wheat straw fed free choice with three levels of concentrates at 28·7, 48·0 and 68·8 % of straw DMI was studied in the third experiment. Concentrate supplementation had little effect on straw DMI with the result that intakes of total D.M., TDN and DCP on the medium and high proportions of supplements were higher than those on the low proportion. The milk yield, of buffaloes receiving medium and high proportions of concentrates with wheat straw increased significantly over those receiving the low proportion of concentrates. The SNF and milk-fat contents were similar on all the three treatments. The implication of physical factors limiting intake is discussed in the case of maize silage and wheat straw diets.The lactating buffaloes failed to maintain their weights on either sole berseem hay or sole maize silage rations. Supplementary feeding helped buffaloes to register small weight gains on hay rations and substantial gains on silage rations. The buffaloes on wheat straw fed with three proportions of concentrates tended to put on a little weight. Multiple regression using pooled data of Expts 1 and 3 showed that the partial regression coefficient of metabolic body weight (kgW0·76) on TDN intake was not significant but that of 6% fat-corrected milk on TDN intake was, suggesting a close relationship between milk yield and food intake.

Effect Of Feeding

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding herbal galactogogue preparation (Sanjivani biokseera) on the milk yield and milk constituents in lactating Kankrej cows. Thirty-two lactating Kankrej cows in their 1st to 6th lactation were taken for the experiment from 3 days after calving up to 52 days postpartum. All the animals were fed as per the standard seasonally available roughages and concentrates to meet their nutritional requirements. The cows were randomly divided into two uniform groups of 16 cows in each according to initial milk yield and milk composition. The animals in group-I were not given any supplement and served as control. The animals in group-II were given Sanjivani biokseera (Naturewell Industries) @ 60 g per day for 1-month, commencing 3 days after calving, in addition to the usual feeds/fodders. A clear difference was observed in milk yield from day 8 onward of experiment between groups with significant (plessthan0 0.05) higher values from day 16-52 in cows fed herbal galactogogue as compared to control, but no such distinct effect on milk constituents was observed on day 52 when analyzed. The use of herbal galactogogue significantly (p lessthan 0.05) increased the overall average of 52 days milk production, which was 9.34 ± 0.21 lit/day in supplemented as compared to 7.75 ± 0.26 lit/day in control animals. It was concluded that herbal galactogogue (Sanjivani biokseera) could increase milk yield in lactating dairy cows through its galactopoetic property and improved rumen environment.

Anaerobic fungi were orally dosed to lactating buffaloes to study their effect on the digestibility of a diet (composed of 50% wheat straw and 50% concentrate along with six kg maize green/animal/day), rumen fermentation patterns and milk production. Group I (control) was administered with fungus-free anaerobic broth, while group II and III were administered with Orpinomyces sp. C-14 or Piromyces sp. WNG-12 (250 ml; 3-5 days of growth/animal/ week), respectively. Milk production was higher in group II and III (8.42 and 8.48 kg/d) than in the control (8.03 kg/d) with virtually the same feed intake (i.e. 11.50 and 10.62 and 11.79 kg, respectively). There was an increase of 6% fat-corrected milk yield/animal/day in group II and III, respectively compared to the control. The milk fat was higher in the fungal culture administered groups than in the control group. The digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre, cellulose and digestible energy also increased significantly in group II and III. The pH and ammonia nitrogen were lower, whereas total volatile fatty acids, total nitrogen, trichloroacid precipitable nitrogen and number of zoospores/ml of rumen liquor were higher in group II and III when compared to the control. Hence, it can be stated that rumen fungi can be used as a direct-fed microbial in lactating buffaloes, to enhance the digestibility of wheat straw based diets leading to higher production.
