Extract

Daidzein, an isoflavonic phytoestrogen, is presented in bean legumes (Zheng et al, 2002). Feeding the isoflavons-containing herbage can promote udder growth and lactation in sheep and cow (Millington, 1964). The diets with daidzein added prompt growth development and lactation in rats, pigs, and sheep, which is possibly due to the effect of daidzein on the endocrine system and metabolism (Han, 1999). The objective of this study is to determine the effect of daidzein on the plasma contents of some hormones in first foetus dairy cows.
