## Abstract

The invention relates to a nutritional adjuvant, comprising baicalin and/or baicalein diluted on a medium, and to a feed comprising such an adjuvant, for improving production performance in farm animals in stressful situations.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of increasing the rate of lactation in a lactating cow or sow, the method comprising providing a feed comprising baicalin and/or baicalein and administering the feed to the lactating cow or sow, wherein the feed is administered at a rate that results in delivery to the farm animal of from 0.1 to 10 mg of baicalin and/or baicalein per kg of live weight per day, and wherein administering the feed to the lactating cow or sow increases the rate of lactation in the lactating cow or sow in comparison to administering comparable feed that does not comprise baicalin and/or baicalein.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the feed is administered at a rate that results in delivery to the lactating cow or sow of from 0.1 to 5 mg of baicalin and/or baicalein per kg of live weight per day.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the feed is administered at a rate that results in delivery to the farm animal of from 0.1 to 2 mg of baicalin and/or baicalein per kg of live weight per day.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the farm animal is undergoing discomfort or stress.
