Effect of holistic remedial therapies on biochemical milieu in hypogalactic crossbred cows.

Comparative evaluation of three different holistic neutraceutical regimens on some metabolic indices in hypogalactic crossbred cows was made. These comprised selected herbal galactagoue-cum-therapeutic agents: Chandrasur (Lepidium sativum, Linn.), Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) and Methi (Trigonella foenum-graecum), the area-specific mineral mixture ‘Jawahar’and probiotics. Significant increases in blood glucose concentration on day 30 and day 60 post-treatment pointed to sustained restoration of positive energy balance. Improved protein profile appeared to be a consequence of augmented functional status of the hepatocytes. No significant increase in the circulatory level of globulin with narrowing of the A/ G ratio or the circulatory titre of alanine transaminase attested to patency of histo-architecture and functional status of the hepatocytes, despite continuous exposure to a variety of phytochemicals present in herbal galactagogues.
