Short summary
In this study, the effects of a diet including fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seed on feed consumption and milk performance were examined. A total of 24 buffaloes were randomly divided into two groups. The diet containing ground fenugreek seed improved total dry matter and daily concentrated feed consumption and significantly increased milk production in Anatolian water buffaloes (AWBs). In future work, the use of other herbs in AWB may be investigated.
