Mineral Mixture is a mixture of various major mineral & trace elements viz. calcium, phosphorous, iron, zinc, magnesium etc. Remarkable difference in mineral contents of soil in hilly terrain, tribal belt and coastal area is noted. Mineral content in soil has its effect on fodder and lastly on health of milch animals and milk production. In order to maintain animal in good health, we have supplemented mineral deficiencies by adding mineral mixture in cattle feed. Keeping mineral deficiency issues in mind, mineral mixture powder plant at Chalthan have been made operational. We have supplied 93330 Kg chelated mineral mixture to milk co-operatives. Generally, during monsoon season, more number of milch animals gets infested with worm infestation. Keeping this issue in mind, we have manufactured balanced cattle feed fortified with anthelmentic drugs is also supplied. Result worm disease control achieved is highly encouraging. Digestibility of dry fodder like paddy straws can be enhanced by Urea Treatment. |
