| Details |
When an animal has too much of body heat, it cannot reproduce and this affects the milking of the animal. To enable the same, Bharatsinh, 60, mixes one kg root of shatavari (Asparagus racemosus Willd) and one kg skin of bark of banyan (Ficus benghalensis L.) tree. For next four days, he adds 500 g of the above mixture to the animal’s fodder. The practice enables the animal in one week's time to conceive. Bharatsingh learnt this practice from his father. Ramsinhbhai in his village also uses the practice.
