Abstract: Present study was plan to evaluate the effect of a poly-herbal Galactagogue on milk production in buffaloes. Total 45 buffaloes were selected from Commercial Dairy farm, Nagpur. On the basis of lactation stages buffaloes were divided in to three groups comprising of 15 animals i.e. early lactating, mid lactating and late lactating. All the buffaloes were supplemented with herbal Galactagogue containing Lepidium sativum (50%) and Dioscorea bulbifera (50%) at the dose of 100 gm per day along with concentrate mixture orally for fifteen consecutive days. Haematobiochemical parameters were recorded on 0th, 15th and 30th day of study. Milk yield was recorded 15 day before initiation of experiment, 15 days during and 15 days after supplementation of polyherbal Galactagogue. Significant improvement in milk yield, serum calcium were documented and no significant alteration in hemoglobin, serum phosphorus, total protein and glucose were observed due to supplementation of poly herbal Galactagogue.
