ABSTRACT

An On Farm trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of shatavari (Asparagus recemosus)
on milk production in lactating dairy animals which were parturated 1 to 4 months before
commencement of trial. Total 20 animals (10 buffaloes and 10 cross breed cows) were
selected and fed 50 gm powder of shatavari roots in concentrates once in a day for a period
of 60 days. The overall milk production were increased 1.06+ 0.17 kg (11.47%) daily and
average milk production in buffaloes and cows were increased 0.8+ 0.34 kg(9.0%), 1.32+
0.15 kg(12.72%) respectively as compared to their previous production. Increase in the
income by feeding shatavari came to Rs. 7.49/day/animal and B:C ratio were found 1:3.30.
From the above results it was concluded that shatavari is effective for increase in milk
production and beneficial for economic milk production.
