- Abstract
An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of Leptadenia reticulata (Jiwanti) supplementation during postpartum period on protein content of milk of lactating Kankrej cows. A total of 16 lactating kankrej cows on the basis of their milk yield, parity and body weight were grouped into 4 homogenous treatment groups of 4 each. Out of these, one group served as control wherein no supplementation was given. Cows in treatment groups T1, T2 and T3, were subjected to Jiwanti supplementation @ 50, 100 and 150 g per day, respectively along with control diet. During supplementation there was no significant (p≥0.05) difference observed between T1, T2 and T3 as compared to control group in protein percentage and protein yield. In post supplementation period protein percentage was non significantly different in treatment groups and control while in protein yield there was a significant difference between T3, control and T3, T1. The statistical analysis reveals that jiwanti supplementation did not change protein percentage and yield in milk of Kankrej cattle during supplementation period but it exerts its effect on protein yield in post supplementation period. It means Jiwanti takes time for improvement in protein yield through improving milk yield and it has no detrimental effect on milk protein and beneficial in lactating kankrej cows.
