| Title |
Kachnar to increase milk production |
|
|
| Details |
To increase milk production in cows, Lalitabhai suggests that “Kachnar”, Variegated Orchid Tree (Bauhinia variegata L.) should form thirty per cent of the cattle feed. It has been observed that milk production increases up to 1-2 litres. However, the leaves should only be fed during winters and the animal should not be allowed to stand out in the sun.
Bauhinia sp. is believed to provide necessary Nitrogen concentration for proper digestion in the rumen. Katjiua, M.L.J. and Ward, D. Journal of Range and Forage Science, 23(1): 59-67(9), 2006. |
