Abstract

Milk production, in cattle as the name suggests is not just a monomer but a conglomeration of lactation issues faced by the industry like post-partum changes, endometritis, milk fever, acetonemia, oedema, galactic and may more. Synthetic substances named Galactogogues were used to combat this situation, but over a period of time and long applications lead to the reduction in the livability and disease tolerance of the animal, not to say a profound decrease in milk production. The herbal alternatives, the phytogenic Galacto herbs, involving the age old traditional Trigonella, Asparagus, Silybum etc when given as a synergestic blend acted as the Phytogenic Galactogoguesdue to their phytochemicals. The earlier studies on the individual Galacto herbs prove their efficacy, this review is about their blended work in various aspects of lactation and the expected results. This review finds a relevance to signify the importance of the synergestic blend of Galacto powder from the herbs presenting enhanced lactation, prevention and correction of lactational issues, an innovative area for more futuristic research too.
