A study on comparative evaluation of supplementing Asparagus racemosus root powder with vitamin E and selenium on growth performance and oxidative stress biomarkers in early weaned Malabari goat kids

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate how Asparagus racemosus root powder and Vitamin E-Selenium affect growth performance and oxidative stress in Malabari goat kids.
• Twenty-four Malabari goat kids aged 45 days were randomly assigned to four groups.
• Control group received a basal ration, while other groups received varying doses of Vitamin E, Selenium, and Asparagus racemosus.
• The kids were monitored for growth and oxidative stress biomarkers over 90 days.
• Significant increase in final body weight was observed in supplemented groups compared to control.
• Oxidative stress biomarkers showed improvement in groups receiving Asparagus racemosus alongside vitamins.
