Abstract

Productivity of dairy animals depends not only on good nutritional diet but also on its proper digestion and assimilation. A study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy herbal appetite stimulants and digestive tonics Ruchamax and Ruchamax-N ( supplied by M/s Ayurvet Ltd. Baddi, India ) in various digestive disorders in cows. Thirty animals suffering from ruminal disorders like simple indigestion, ruminal Acidosis and post-parturient indigestion were divided in to three groups of ten animals each. Group- I: positive control treated with Magnesium sulphate as rumenotoric @ 100g/day/animal for 3 days, group-II: treated with product Ruchamax @ 15 g/day/animal bid orally for 5 days, group-III: treated product Ruchamax N@ 15 g/day/animal bid orally for 5 days. The efficacy was evaluated on the basis of Rumen fluid parameters, clinical signs and haemato-biochemical parameters at day 0, 3, 5 and 7 post-treatment. All the parameters were normalized in all the groups post treatment, but the recovery rate were more significant and were recorded as early as 3^rd day of treatment in Ruchamax and Ruchamax-N treated groups as compared to group I. from the result of the present study it can be concluded that both the products can be used for various digestive disorders as they are very effective in restoring normal rumen functions.
