Pay attention to the farmers who work in animal husbandry
Livestock- Animals should be given 40-50 gm mineral mixture in their daily ration.
The mineral mixture can be mixed in compounded feeds and then given.
It improves immunity status of animals in addition to increasing milk production and productive life of animals.
Mineral mixture contains macro-minerals like calcium, phosphorus etc and macro-minerals like copper, cobalt etc. which helps to improve reproductive efficiency and reduces inter- calving period.
Care should be taken to keep the animals sheds dry and clean during rainy season to prevent mosquitoes and flies as these lead to blood loss and irritation resulting in reduced productivity.
