Effect of polyherbal-potash alum mixture supplementation on production performance of crossbred cows

The present studies were designed to evaluate the effect of supplementation of polyherbal-potash alum mixture on milk yield and milk composition of crossbred cows. For this study fourteen Karan Fries cows (about 30 days ante-partum) were blocked by most probable producing ability, body weight and parity and randomly divided into 2 groups. Supplementation of polyherbal-potash alum mixture was done for 60 days ie 30 days ante-partum to 30 days postpartum. Milk yield and composition of milk were analyzed. Results indicated that milk yield was significantly (P <0.05) high in treatment group. However no significant (P <0.05) differences were observed for milk composition. It can be concluded that polyherbal-potash alum supplementation potentially improves milk yield without affecting the composition during post-supplementation period in crossbred cows.
