“…However, farmers are not getting the milk yield as per the potential of their buffaloes due to lack of scientific supplementations. Therefore, buffalo owners of Saurashtra region were focussed for farmers ' [3,6,5,2,1,7] . Farmers' feedbacks revealed that the technologies are feasible and adoptable to increase yield and income.…”

Field experiment was conducted on 50 Jafarabadi buffalo at four selected villages viz. Mavjinjava, Hadala, Deri Pipaliya and Nava Vaghaniya of Bagasara Taluka of Amreli district (Gujarat) during 2017-18 to 2019-20 under the Farmers FIRST Programme. Fifty Jafarabadi buffalo having mixed parity kept by small and marginal farmers at four selected villages were assigned treatment. Milk yield of the same buffaloes before commencement of the experiment was considered as control. Experiment group of buffaloes were supplemented with commercially available mineral mixture @ 40 g/day, calcium supplement @ 50 ml/day and deworming at 3 months interval. All buffaloes were fed seasonal Jowar, maize and lucerne as green fodder and groundnut haulm, Jowar hay and dry grass as dry fodder. Concentrate mixture were fed to advanced pregnant and lactating buffaloes only. Daily milk yield data were collected on monthly interval. Average daily milk yield of control and treatment group were 7.13 and 8.16 litres, respectively. Milk yield was significantly increased under technological intervention and recorded 14.40% more over the farmer's practice. Economic analysis of intervening technology revealed that additional gross return of Rs.47.60/buffalo/day incurred in treatment group as compared to the control. Farmers were benefitted by getting additional net return of Rs.37.11/buffalo/day and Rs. 11133/buffalo/year with BCR 1.28. Farmers' feedbacks revealed that the technology is feasible and adoptable. Impact survey indicated that the technologies have been spread horizontally to non-adopted farmers to increase milk yield and income of buffalo owners. This has definitely helped in socio-economic empowerment of the farmers.

“…Thus, in the available literature, there are reports of an increase in milk productivity [4][5][6] and milk quality [4; 6; 7] in cows, and an improvement in reproductive function in bulls [8]. In addition to milk productivity, there is also an improvement in the growth of calves [9], pigs [10][11][12], broiler chickens [13; 14] and rabbits [15] due to the use of chelated forms of trace elements in their feed. The reason for the growing interest of the scientific community in organic compounds is the high degree of their assimilation by the body, which provides animals with the necessary amount of trace elements and reduces the negative impact of their faeces and urine on the environment [3].…”

The implementation of the genetic potential of cows is primarily related to the usefulness of providing cows with nutrients, including trace elements, during lactation. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine the optimal doses of mineral supplements of zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and cobalt (Co) in the diet of dairy cattle by lactation phases and evaluate the economic efficiency of their use. To achieve this goal, a scientific and economic experiment was conducted, for the organisation of which 5 subgroups of cows were formed, 10 individuals each – group 1, which was the control, and 4 experimental groups. According to the experiment design, animals of different groups were fed different amounts of mixed ligand complexes of Zn, Mn, and Co. During the experiment, productivity, dry matter consumption, metabolism, and economic efficiency were evaluated. Based on experimental studies of the use of mineral supplement complexes of Zn, Mn, and Co, in comparison with their sulphate salts, it was found that during the first 100 days of lactation, optimal for highly productive individuals were doses in one kg of dry matter of the feed mixture: Zn – 60.8 mg; Mn – 60.8 mg; Co – 0.78 mg, which were provided by their mixed ligand complexes and which were lower by 20% of the recommended ones and led to an increase in milk productivity of cows by 15%, and profit – by 47%. In the second 100 days of lactation, the best productivity indicators were found in cows that consumed a feed mixture in which the concentration in one kg of dry matter was: Zn – 35 mg, Mn – 35 mg, and Co – 0.4 mg due to the introduction of mixed ligand complexes of trace elements. The advantage of animals in this group over the control group in terms of milk productivity was 18%, in terms of profit – 29%. In the last 100 days of lactation, the best performance indicators were in cows with a dry matter content of Zn – 35 mg, Mn – 35 mg, Co – 0.4 mg per kg of feed mixture. They exceeded the control in terms of milk yield by 9%, and profit – by 42%. Thus, it is proved that highly productive cows require different concentrations of trace elements during lactation. It is proved that due to the introduction of balanced mineral supplements in the diet, the optimal amount of trace elements is less than the use of inorganic compounds, which has a positive effect on the environment by reducing the content of these minerals in manure
