An on-farm trial of 90 days was conducted in Kushkal village, Palanpur taluka of Banaskantha district of Gujarat to study effects of Probiotics supplementation on production performance, nutrient utilization and economics of lactating kankrej cows. Fourteen lactating Kankrej cows were divided in to two dietary treatments T1 (control) and T2 (probiotics). The results revealed that supplementing Probiotics to lactating Kankrej cows significantly improved fat percent, 4% FCM, DM intake, CP and TDN intake while milk production, DCP intake and return as percent of feed cost were increased but remained statistically similar as compared to control.
