Cows were fed individually on standard ration during three periods (28 days/period) in 3x3 Latin square design. The results indicated that feed intake, daily quantities of uncorrected, corrected milk yields , fat, protein and lactose ,milk lactose %, red & white blood cell counts, hemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume ,lymphocyte %, total protein and globulin were increased significantly, while the percentages of milk fat and blood glucose were decreased significantly in T2 and T3 s as compared to those in T1.The present study was carried out to determine the effect of supplementation of ginger root on milk production and composition and physiological of blood.
