The treatment group experienced a shorter interval from calving to first oestrus, indicating better reproductive outcomes.
Milk production metrics improved without significant changes to fat or protein percentages, showing efficient cow management.
Reproductive performance metrics revealed a lower insemination-to-pregnancy ratio, illustrating enhanced fertility in treated cows.

Nasrollahi et al. (2025) studied this question.
