Herbal supplements containing diverse phytochemicals have been proven to improve digestibility, beneficial serum metabolites, milk yield, and quality in cows. However, the temperature sensitivity of phytochemicals in herbs complicates their practical use as livestock supplements. In response, this study aimed to assess how shade-dried plantain, lemongrass, and their combination influence cow performance, digestibility, serum and milk antioxidants, and milk fatty acids.

Past studies have shown that isoacids (ISO) improve dairy cow performance, with effects varying based on dietary forage levels, leading us to speculate that ISO supplementation may also differentially affect enteric methane (CH) emissions depending on dietary forage levels. Therefore, our primary objective was to examine the effects of ISO supplementation on enteric CH emissions in lactating dairy cows fed 2 forage NDF levels (FL), along with monitoring feed particle sorting and chewing behaviors to assess any potential interactions. Sixty-four (64) mid-lactation Holstein cows were utilized in a 10-wk long randomized complete block design trial.

Our objective was to determine the effects of isoacids (ISO) on the lactation performance, digestibility, and milk fatty acid (FA) profile of Holstein cows fed 2 forage NDF levels (FL). The study was 10-wk long (including 2-wk for covariate) utilizing a randomized complete block design. Sixty-four mid-lactating Holstein cows [662 ± 71 kg BW, 119 ± 51 DIM, 2 ± 0.

Objective: This research aimed to assess the effects of dried plantain herb, lemongrass, and their combination on milk yield, immunological, liver enzymatic, serum, and milk mineral status in dairy cows.

Materials And Methods: Twenty cows were arbitrarily assigned to 4 diets. Cows were given a basal ration considered as control diet (CL-D) having 14.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the influence of feeding fresh lemongrass () or spearmint () and their combination on performance, serum metabolites, liver enzymes, and meat quality in broilers.

Materials And Methods: A total of 168 day-old Indian River chicks were arbitrarily offered four experimental rations: (i) control ration (CT-R): corn-soya-based ration, (ii) lemongrass ration (LG-R): CT-R + 1.0% DM of lemongrass; (iii) spearmint ration (SM-R): CT-R + 1.
