Abstract:
In an attempt to assess the possibilities of improvement in production performance of Kankrej cattle by supplementation of vitamin E and Selenium, an experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of vitamin E and Selenium during transition period in Kankrej cows. A total of 24 cows were selected on the basis of their milk yield, parity and body weight are grouped into four homogenous treatment groups of 6 each. Out of these, one group served as control fed as per NRC (2001) wherein no supplementation was given. Cows in treatment groups, Group-1 vitamin E, Group-2 selenium and Group-3, vitamin E + Selenium supplementation were given daily along with control diet. Average milk yield was found significantly higher in combination supplemented group as compare to other groups.
