Abstract

The experiment is intended to study the effects of Emblica officinalis, Allium sativum, and Triphala supplementation in dairy feed on immunity, blood hematology, milk yield and milk composition. Four Black-and-white breeds of mid-lactating dairy cows (average body weight at 430 kg) were managed to randomly receive 4 types of herbs in the 4 x 4 Latin square design. The experiment was divided into 4 periods and each period lasted 21 days. The experimental treatment was the type of herbal supplement in Total Mixed Ration (TMR) at 2 % dry weight as follows: 1) Control group (no herbal supplement), 2) dried fruit Emblica officinalis, 3) Allium sativum, and 4) Triphala; contains 3 herbs in 1:1:1 ratio (Emblica officinalis : Terminalia chebula : Terminalia belerica). TMR contains chopped rice straw as roughage, with a ratio of roughage to concentrate feed at 20:80. The results showed that all three herbs were not affected by milk yield and milk composition and somatic cell count (SCC). However, the three herbs resulted in higher levels of immune proteins, especially IgA and IgG in blood, than the control group (P<0.05). Immune protein levels are no different among herbal groups. According to the results of the experiment, it can be concluded that the use of dried fruit Emblica officinalis, dried fruit Allium sativum or Tripala in the TMR diet to feed dairy cows can be used for 2 % in ration which has a stimulating effect on immunity and have no negative effect on productivity in mid lactating dairy cow
