  • Effect of Dietary Inclusion of Cumin Seed (Cuminum cyminum) on Voluntary Feed Intake, Milk Yield, Milk Quality and Udder Health of Dairy Cows

    Asian Journal of Dairy and Food Research, 2025
    Background: Plants containing essential oils can be a cost-effective means of improving efficiency of milk production and optimizing milk composition of dairy cows. Cuminum cyminum (green cumin) belongs to the Apiaceae family and is a well-known herbal medicine in Iran. The medicinal properties of cumin may have beneficial effects on milk production. However, very few studies have been reported whereby cumin has been fed to ruminants. Therefore, the present study is design to investigate the effect of cumin supplementation on milk yield, milk quality and udder health of lactating dairy cows. Methods: Twelve multiparous lactating cows at early stage of lactation was selected and randomly allotted to two equal groups (n=6) on the basis of milk yield. In addition to normal routine feeds and fodders, cows in groups T1 was fed cumin seed @ 50 g/d/head for 90 days. Fortnightly body weight was determined on the basis of body measurement of animals. All feed samples was analysed for proximate composition, Ca and P. The daily milk yield (kg/d) of individual cows was recorded by weighing. Milk samples were collected after complete milking and thorough mixing for determination of milk composition. Udder health was monitored by MCMT (modified california mastitis test), measuring milk pH and SCC (somatic cell count) at fortnightly intervals. Result: The results indicated that overall mean body weight, average DMI was statistically (P greater than 0.05) similar in both the groups. The average milk yield (kg) of animals was statically non significant (P greater than 0.05) but numerically 20.64% higher milk yield was observed in cumin seed supplemented group than control group. There was no effect of cumin supplementation on chemical composition (Fat, TS, SNF, Lactose and Protein) of milk in dairy cows. Overall mean milk pH and somatic cell count (SCC) in both the groups was statically similar but numerically lower in treatment group. The overall mean (%) of MCMT positive animals was 14.29 and 9.52 in T0 (Control) and T1 (Treatment) groups, respectively. From the results it can be deduced that the cumin seed (Cuminum cyminum) supplementation improves milk yield by 20.64%. However, it has no effect on composition of milk in dairy cows. Supplementation improved the udder health and found no effect on dry matter intake (DMI) in dairy cows.

    Buffalo Bulletin, 2025
    The most significant and productive milk producer among Indian buffalo breeds is the Murrah. Determining reference values for the serum biochemical markers of Murrah buffaloes at different stages of pregnancy was the aim of the current study. This study included 28 Murrah buffaloes from the Indore district of Madhya Pradesh, India. They have been separated into 4 groups: Group I was non-pregnant, Group 2 was in “the 1st trimester of pregnancy, Group 3 was in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, and Group 4 was in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy” till parturition. Every group had 7 animals. Blood samples were tested for serum biochemical measures, including total albumin, BUN (blood urea nitrogen), AST (aspartate aminotransferase), glucose, uric acid, globulin, HDL (higher density lipoprotein) cholesterol, A/G (albumin/globulin) ratio, LDL (lower density lipoprotein) cholesterol, creatinine, total cholesterol, ALT (alanine-aminotransferase), triglycerides, ALP (alkaline phosphatase), andprotein. Late-pregnancy serum albumin levels in comparison to mid-pregnancy and non-pregnant animals; HDL cholesterol in early-, mid-, and late-pregnancy in animals as well as non-pregnant, mid-, as well as late-pregnant animals; ALT as well as AST levels in late pregnancy in comparison to other cohorts; glucose levels in pregnant animals as opposed to those that are not; Urea levels in non-pregnant, early, middle, and late-pregnant animals; BUN between early-, middle-, and late-stage pregnancy and non-pregnant animals; early-pregnant with late pregnant animals-all displayed a greatly significant variance (P<0.01). Serum “levels of total protein in the middle along with late phase of pregnancy has been significantly (P<0.05) different from those of the non-pregnant” animal, total cholesterol in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy was different from other groups, and only uric acid was different between the non-pregnant and postpartum animals. The levels of globulin, LDL cholesterol, A/G ratio, ALP, triglycerides, as well as creatinine did not significantly differ (P>0.05) across the groups. The current research concluded by establishing reference values that serve as a helpful guide for evaluating blood biochemical markers in Murrah buffaloes at various stages of pregnancy.

  • Acute phase protein as biomarker for diagnosis of sub-clinical mastitis in cross-bred cows

    Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2021
    The present study was carried out to investigate the role of acute phase proteins [Serum amyloid A (SAA) and milk amyloid A (MAA)] for diagnosis of sub-clinical mastitis in cross-bred cows. The study was conducted on 40 apparently healthy cross-bred cows, in the mid-lactation period and were equally divided into four groups [Group-I (Bacteriologically negative milk samples, California mastitis test (CMT) negative), Group-II (Bacteriologically negative with SCC £200,000 cells/ml milk, CMT positive), Group-III (Bacteriologically negative with SCC ³200,000 £500,000 cells/ml milk, CMT positive) and Group-IV (Bacteriologically positive with SCC ³200,000 £500,000 cells/ml milk, CMT positive)]. On bacteriological examination of 57 milk samples, 27(47.36%) were found positive and 30 (52.63%) were found negative. A highly significant (P 200,000 cells/ml, 74 µg/ml and 10 µg/ml, respectively for the diagnosis of sub-clinical mastitis with high sensitivity (90% to 100%). The area under curve of the SAA was larger than those of SCC and MAA, which suggests that the SAA test was more accurate than SCC and MAA for the diagnosis of sub-clinical mastitis.
  • Insights into bovine endometritis with special reference to phytotherapy

    Veterinary World, 2017
    Postpartum reproductive disorders cause heavy economic losses in dairy sector. Uterine infections include endometritis, metritis, mucometra, and pyometra. Postpartum endometritis in dairy cows has been defined as inflammation of endometrium occurring 21 days or more after parturition without systemic signs of illness. The treatment of endometritis with antimicrobials has met with varying degrees of success, inconsistent recovery rate, high cost of treatment, milk disposal, emergence of microbial resistance, and reduced phagocytic activity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes In our country, around 20,000 medicinal plant species have been recorded, but more than 500 traditional communities use about 800 plant species for curing different diseases. Many herbs such as garlic, neem, ashwagandha, and turmeric have been tried for the treatment of endometritis in cows with a good success.

    Aim: The present study was undertaken to standardize a convenient method for isolation and purification of β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) from cow milk keeping its antigenicity intact, so that the purified β-lg can be used for detection of cow milk protein intolerance (CMPI). Materials and Methods: Raw milk was collected from Gir breed of cattle reared in Haringhata Farm, West Bengal. Milk was then converted to skimmed milk by removing fat globules and casein protein was removed by acidification to pH 4.6 by adding 3 M HCl. β-lg was isolated by gel filtration chromatography using Sephacryl S-200 from the supernatant whey protein fraction. Further, β-lg was purified by anion-exchange chromatography in diethylaminoethyl-sepharose. Molecular weight of the purified cattle β-lg was determined by 15 percent one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and was analyzed by gel documentation system using standard molecular weight marker. Results: The molecular weight of the purified cattle β-lg was detected as 17.44 kDa. The isolated β-lg was almost in pure form as the molecular weight of purified β-lg monomer is 18kDa. Conclusion: The study revealed a simple and suitable method for isolation of β-lg from whey protein in pure form which may be used for detection of CMPI.
