Twelve Murrah heifers, with an average age of 18.5±0.77 months and an average body weight of (220.05±7.11 Kg), were randomly allocated into two groups. Six Murrah heifers comprised the control group, while the remaining six served as the treatment group, receiving shatavari root powder supplementation at a dosage of 100 mg/kg live body weight once daily in the morning for a six-month period.
