| Description |
In an attempt to assess the possibilities of utilization of herbs viz., Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Jiwanti (Leptadenia reticulate) as feed additive to achieve maximum efficiency of feed utilization from wheat straw based complete feed, an experiment was conducted in two phases. In first phase, chemical composition was determined for each herb and feed ingredients used under study and supplemented in the complete feed at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% level for in vitro studies. The IVDMD, IVOMD, IVNDFD and gas production were determined for complete feed using rumen liquor obtained from goats to arrive at optimum level of incorporation of herbs in complete feed. In second phase, feeding trial was undertaken on 20 male Marwari goats fed complete feed with optimum level of each herb alone and in combination, selected on the basis of results of vitro studies, to assess the in vivo efficiency of utilization of nutrients. Rumen and haemato-biochemical parameters were also studied to ascertain the effect of supplementation of herbs as feed additive on rumen fermentation pattern and physiological status of health of experimental animals. In vitro studies revealed highly significant (P
