10 Apr Improvement of reproductive and productive capacity in dairy cattle through Moringa Oleifera supplementation
मोरिंगा ओलीफेरा अनुपूरण के माध्यम से डेयरी मवेशियों में प्रजनन और उत्पादक क्षमता में सुधार In addressing the challenges of suboptimal reproductive performance and escalating veterinary costs in livestock production, it's essential to explore alternative feed resources. Moringa (Moringa oleifera), drought-tolerant tree rich in crude protein and devoid of inhibitors like tannins, trypsin, and amylase, presents a promising solution. मोरिंगा ओलीफेरा अनुपूरण के माध्यम से डेयरी मवेशियों में प्रजनन और उत्पादक क्षमता में सुधार In tropical livestock production, underfeeding is a critical issue due to limited feed quantity and quality, resulting in reduced milk yields and incomes for farmers, especially in the dry season when natural pastures lack nutritive value. Dairy farming in tropical regions is complex, intertwined with economic and social dimensions. Conventional concentrates are expensive, limiting their use. Alternative, low-cost supplements, cultivable by farmers year-round, are needed to enhance nutritional levels and boost the economy in small-scale dairy production. This highlights the necessity of finding cost-effective solutions to improve dairy farming in tropical climates. Under good cultivation practices, such as proper soil preparation, adequate irrigation, fertilization, and pest control, drumstick plantations can indeed yield significant quantities of pods and leaves per acre per year. The yield of drumstick pods can range from 18 to 20 tonnes per acre per year and leaves can...
