Abstract

The study on effect of probiotic supplementation on milk yield showed that the average daily milk yield was higher (P<0.05) in treatment group (10.58±0.25 liter) compared to the control group (8.88±0.29 liter), but the composition of milk remained unaffected between the two groups with lactose (6.00±0.10 vs. 6.16±0.12%), fat (6.65±0.10 vs. 6.82±0.15%) and protein (3.92±0.06 vs. 3.88±0.08%) content of milk between control vs. treatment groups.
