ABSTRACT:
The invention is related to methods and compositions for increasing milk production in animals using a saponin containing composition. In an embodiment, the invention is a method for increasing milk production of an animal comprising administering an initiation dose of a saponin-containing composition to the animal within five days before or after the time of freshening of the animal, and administering a plurality of maintenance doses of the saponin-containing composition to the animal.
