Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of Chandrasoor (Lepidium sativum) on the mineral and antioxidant profile of milk in lactating Tharparkar cattle. A total of 12 lactating Tharparkar cattle were selected from Shree Pinjrapole Gaushala, Sanganer, Jaipur, and randomly divided into two groups (G1 and G2). G1 group was fed a basal diet formulated as per ICAR (2013) standards, consisting of wheat straw, green fodder, and a balanced readymade concentrate. In contrast, the G2 group received an additional 150 g/day/animal of Chandrasoor seeds along with the basal diet. Minerals analysis of milk indicated a significant increase in calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) in the Chandrasoor-supplemented group as compared to the control. Although phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg) levels showed a numerical increase, the differences were not statistically significant. Antioxidant assays, including DPPH, ABTS, total phenol, FRAP, and total flavonoids, exhibited a significant enhancement in the supplemented group, suggesting improved oxidative stability of milk. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that dietary supplementation of Chandrasoor at 150 g/day/animal significantly improves Ca, Fe, and antioxidant activity in milk, making it a promising feed additive for enhancing milk quality.
