ABSTRACT

The present study was undertaken to study the effect of a polyherbal immunomodulator (Restobal) on milk production, haematological parameters, and cortisol levels in dairy cattle vaccinated against FMD and HS. A total of 24 dairy cattle were divided into control and treatment groups. The treatment animals received Restobal from day 0 to day 10. Vaccine (FMD vaccine and FMD + HS vaccine) was given in both control and treatment animals on day 5 of treatment. Samples viz. milk, blood, and saliva were collected at different time intervals. SNF, total solids, and milk yield in milk samples from day 0 to day 35 of treatment did not show any significant difference suggesting that Restobal is not having any positive effect on and vaccination is not having any negative impact on the production parameters of milch animals. On haematological analysis, the vaccination significantly increased TLC, lymphocytes, and monocytes. Treatment of Restobal has been found to have a positive effect on TLC and monocytes as compared to the control group. Salivary cortisol levels increased significantly after vaccination with FMD + HS vaccine in both control and treatment animals. However, after FMD vaccination no significant increase was observed and the treatment group showed a significantlylower level on the 6th day evening.
