![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Before intervention, there was no significant difference between weight, height, head circumference, the number of wet diapers and frequency of defecation times between the two groups (P > 0.05), but the number of breastfeeding times of control group was more than the Fennel group. Before and during four weeks of study, signs of breast milk sufficiency were evaluated through measuring the growth parameters and the number of wet diapers in a day, frequency of defecation and infant breastfeeding times. ![]() After getting informed consent infants were randomly assigned into the intervention group (received herbal tea containing 7.5 g Fennel seed powder in addition to 3 grams black tea three times a day) and the control group (received herbal tea containing 3 grams black tea powder three times a day). This study was a randomized clinical trial performed on 78 girl infants aged 0-4 months who were exclusively breastfed. Economically ration having 35% CSC had the lowest cost of milk production (Rs: 17.14/kg) as compared to ration having 20% (Rs.19.68/kg) and Zero% CSC (Rs.21.6/kg) The Live weight was not effected significantly (P>0.05) by rations, However highest mean change in weight gain of 7.66±4.95kg/45day was recorded for cows fed ration having 35% CSC while least 5.00 ☗.90 kg/45day was recorded for cows fed zero% CSC in the ration. There was significant (P0.05) effect on mean changes in BCS. The concentration of Lactose and total milk solid not fat (SNF) content was higher (P>0.05) for control group than the cows fed on other diet. Mean daily milk yield differed (P0.05) effect on protein content in milk as cows on 35% CSC diet produced the least 2.7☐.09 percent protein, while the control grou p produce the highest 3.00☐.09 percent. Each cow was given a daily feed ration according to NRC standards. All the three rations were Isocaloric and Isonitrogeniuos. A total of nine mid-lactation crossbred cows were randomly distributed to three groups and allocated to diets containing zero (control), 20 and 35 percent CSC. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of Cotton Seed Cake (CSC) on milk yield, milk composition, feed intake, Body Condition Score (BCS) and live weight of Holstein Friesian (HF) crossbred cows. One study was conducted at Livestock Research and Development Station Surezai, Peshawar during June to August 2011. ![]()
